Bearing in mind you know f*** all about my first hand relationship with the Catholic Church, you are the ignorant one here.That’s like me accusing you of being an abuser because you’re human? Or a hooligan because you like football? We all belong to groups, and there’s rot in everyone of them. The what aboutery line of argument is endless, and is best filed under boring insulting ignorant and/or sweeping…a bit like your reply!

God made the big bang happen, but then where did God come from?
On what people say God is eternal, but yes that seems an unsatisfactory answer as well.

Perhaps a conscious entity, the one credible form of unifying the infinite realm of possibilities into one single reality, is the only possible way that the coherent universe can exist... So it does.

Thats a reasonable answer, and one when we all end our existance on planet Earth, most of us who have enjoyed it here, or others who didn't would hope for a better time in the next world.

If you are born in Ireland you will be Catholic, if you are born in Saudi Arabia you will be Moslem, if you are born in Israel you will be Jewish and if you were born in Scandinavia in the 10th century you would believe in one of the Norse gods.
Once you realise religion is the result of when and where you were born and has very little to do with faith or belief all of the power and mysticism it has just evaporates. This is not rocket science

Perhaps it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster created it with his noodly appendage.
Maybe there is one god and people worship in different ways. The God they believie in accepts this

Which God shall we discuss?
There are loads out there.
The front door is open, yet some posters are still trying to work out how to climb over the fence and wriggle through the slightly open toilet window to get in. Or (in one or two cases) having got in without realizing, trying to work out how to climb out of the toilet window while their head is jammed down the lavvy.
God, eh? Bing bang and that.

You can really tell it’s the close season!

Exactly, if there was a god, there would be no close season.
'Why' is a legal or theological question.
As a biologist I see no purpose. If living things evolve things that provide advantage, then advantage is had. And the ones that count most are those that favour survival and the opportunity to reproduce. A third eye? Nope.
As for the big bang, my guess, for what it is worth, which is nothing, is that it happens after a big collapse, and the cycle has gone on for ever. Bang, collapse, bang, collapse. All it needs is the existence of large amounts of matter. Do we have that? Open your eyes!
All the best, Dan
It's a sliding scale, with various pinch points.
'Perfect' is a moot concept. Pacifism is not useful in times of war, but bellicosity is not useful in times of peace.
Or are they?
My soundbite is that it is impossible to reduce the complexity of humanity into soundbites.

My worry is that all these threads have come too quickly, we are going to run out of unimportant banal shit to talk about too quickly.
Then where will be? Left discussing how to eat crisps in the pub !!
