There is no arrow of time in physics. So yes it goes both ways. If you can add minus 3 to 3 giving you zero you can go from zero to 3 and minus 3. How...

That is not true. In the 'beginning' there was no order'.There was pure energy which is formless. As energy spread out into an expanding space some of...

Let us all pray to Him. Ohmmmmmm

If infinity exists then by definition an infinity of infinities must exist.

Does Hell exist? Yes. It is called 'life'.

The problem with escapism is finding out we don't like ourselves.

You seem to think you have a stunningly good point — Bartricks I don't think... I know. What you believe you know is knowledge.

God is our conscience speaking to us.

What you are saying basically: a sane and healthy person needs both food and drugs. Mens sana in corpore sano

That is the second time you've agreed with me. Not something I am used on this forum. Most here think I am nuts.
