I once disproved a cockroach with a Bible. Disproved him unto flatness I did. Could have been a NIV though ... does that still count. (In the immortal words of Samuel Johnson: I refute you thus!) (big cheez-eating grin) Your post touches upon some of the questions which for me contain much of the mystery and beauty of nature. I don't even know what dark energy is, does anyone really?, so I cannot discuss cause without the intellectual and philosophical assistance of much beer. "The universe" is no longer an unambiguous term. If we restrict ourself to the observable universe, three space and one time, very few who haven't studied the matter would refute the Big Bang, although there are surely some Hoyle loyalists still out there. That pretty much establishes a beginning, but it begs the question of "from where?" did that initial singularity precipitate. My math is not up to running with the big dogs, but I am told that there are pretty good theories stating that our tangible universe is embedded in a manifold of eleven or maybe even seventeen dimensions. Is this what you mean by many scientists ... no beginning? If not, please enlighten me. I am always keen to learn new things, especially new big things. cheers js
