There are certain theories that make "sense" in astrophysics. One can postulate how things might be if the universe were such and such a way, then one can look to see if what is observed matches what is expected. That makes very good sense indeed, I think. Of course you may disagree.

Since neither makes sense by their very nature, we cannot dismiss other's explanation of them as "not sensible." ... "Am I making sense?" That doesn't make sense. If you believe that all explanations of time and space do not make sense, then why would you humour an explanation that wasn't sensible? An explanation is either sensible or it is not. Both of these concepts make sense. Therefore, when one finds an explanation that is either one or the other, would it be considered bright to call it what it was not? People only have two answers when it comesw to the sense of something. It does make sense to them, or it doesn't. Why should they say it does if it does not? Remeber, J.C. Dithers, a person can acknowledge that something makes sense to someone else without accepting it as being sensible, and even while being amused by it. Returning to religion which was where this began, if I am not mistaken: The Tungus people believe that Buga created the first two people out of iron, water, earth and fire. If you do not find this idea sensible, is there some reason why you should reserve your opinion or pretend to a different opinion?
