>>>"I do not waste my time on nonsense."<<<

You just created an entire post demonstrating how you could not make sense of Lane3's simple comment, yet proceeded with a nonsensical 'counter' to Lane3's post. Hint: you didn't counter her commentary. You did completely miss the point... as usual.

>>>"...well then why can't the universes have always been here?"<<<

The paradox is apparent for a universe which, by all available evidence, is composed of a temporal realm juxtaposed with the concept of eternity and an infinite symmetry. Note that eternity and infinity defy the notion of temporary (temporal). When you begin to figure the linear nature of time you have the additional quandary about experience only existing in the present moment.

>>>" And we have a pretty good idea of how the universe creates biology, which is what we are. "<<<

No we don't, life from nonlife remains a mystery.

PS: Incomplete/imperfect experience exists in the context of absolute and perfect.

While it is true that some apes share 98% of our DNA, to put it in perspective, some mice share over 90%. That connection is far less apparent until you give it more that superficial consideration.
