Not much need for a bearded old Jew in a white robe to create the Universe, is there

LOL. OK I try a riposte

Ever heard of the "Big Bang Theory"?. It isn't such an original idea. We came from smaller bangs, but our fathers would probably boast if asked -g-

<The laws of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed.

This means that the Universe has always existed, and cannot be destroyed.

Lindy, that's a wacko theory invented by some 19th century dude messing with a steam engine and it worked for a few other applications such as E = mc2 to blow up some Japanese men, women and children at Hiroshima [now that was BIG collateral damage and made Osama's war efforts look pathetic]. He'd have had to crash 100 planes full of people to match the USA effort. Heck, even the normal explosives over Dresden made quite an impact. The Moslems just can't make a Big Bang!

Of course energy can be created and destroyed, though those words are just silly language we invent which have little meaning in the busy world of black holes and microwave background radiation [which is really CDMA-style talking among all the sentience of existence - a giant cocktail party in the sky - SETI is looking in the wrong place].

You shouldn't believe that silly energy theory made up by a few wacko scientists making up stories to explain what the heck is going on - though they do show some objective reality which other people can also witness, unlike the theories of the mad mystics of Osama, Omar, Jerry Falwell and GeorgeW.

PS: Saying energy cannot be created or destroyed is a bit like saying money cannot be created or destroyed. At any given instant it seems constant, morphing from one thing into another. But a LOT of people are now inclined to think it CAN be created and especially it can be destroyed [they look at their portfolios and believe]. Uncle Green$pan sits at the centre of the universe, creating and destroying $$$ and the multitudes of people in the periphery multiply or reduce what he created in an amazing credit inflationary universe [or deflationary].

Psst, keep an eye on the bearded old dude in the white robe behind the curtain - that's where the REAL truth is hiding and he's the one really pulling the superstrings of the universe. [While you're doing that, I'll go check on the ladies ... and don't forget to send me a tithe or two to help me spread the One True Word - hmm, I'd like a Roadster too]
