You just don't like my       conclusions. You're blind to it and repeat the usual in an effort to       diminish me, even saying it is just a "juvenile word game".              > OTOH scientists recognize that an uncaused cause logically doesn't       > explain anything.

It just means it's not known at this time.              There, you finally get to the point. You do not have an answer, and       cannot believe anything but materialism, so the search goes on and       anyone suggesting different is being unscientific. It's not an unknown,       it's an impossibility if you follows the laws of science. Which of       course, you will deny. At least here, you've come close to actually       answering the topic under discussion. Usually you just ignore it and go       off on these silly tangents. By at least saying it is "not known at       this time," I can put you in the camp that believes is has always       existed somehow. That sounds kind of supernatural to me.                     --       Science doesn't support Darwin. Scientists do.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
