Well here's what he actually said:As recent advances in cosmology suggest, the laws of gravity and quantum theory allow universes to appear spontaneously from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.You can read it in context if you'd like to understand his views better: http://online.wsj.co...1609024244.html

He always existed, duh. Who do you think wrote those equations down in the first place? It's not like they simply always existed. That wouldn't make any sense!

It's the age old ''chicken or the egg'' question. I peronsally think there is room to believe that there can be God and that the evolutionary theory can be correct as well.

Impersonal stuff blindly flowing forward in time/space is different than a Personal God outside of all time/spaceThe assumption that the Creator of matter must obey the laws of matter is your flaw.Well one of your flaws.

No, see, it's like this.1. Create time machine.2. Activate time machine and then leave area.3. Future you exits the time machine.4. Original you stays out of the way until it's time to go into time machine.5. Future you is now in the past and can make money in the stock market.6. Future you is now in an altered timeline.7. Original you is in a time machine loop.Bam. Penetrate that logic.
Why is original you in a time machine loop? Wouldn't there just always be a period of time when original and future you co-exist, then original you steps into the time machine and future you moves on, now a rich man? Then original you is future you, a new you is original you, and it starts over again. Wait, what?

Heh. BG still doesn't understand physics.Well, neither do I, but I don't try to make claims that something could live outside of all time and space. I feel like you'd first have to understand how time and space work if you didn't want to look like an...oh.

Steve,

It doesn't matter who you start because you have a horse shoe up your ass so far I'm not really sure how you get through the day. You must be gay.
