the only one doing the mocking here
Foxy, you're way too influenced by Paul1405. Calling the fact that some song writers words are meaningless AND even mocking to those who suffer mocking ? Faith is called Faith because it is without evidence. When all goes well, all is good. When a massive disaster happens & three people escape it's called a miracle. What is the word for when things go against all that is good ? Ah, yes, we must have faith ! Posted by individual, Monday, 27 July 2020 6:16:58 PM

individual,
I realize its beyond your scope of understanding what Cohen's song was all about and why I quoted it. But if you go back and read the link I gave to Aidan - it might help you get a bit of a grasp on it. Until then - best be quiet. ALTRAV, This might help you: http://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/03/05/how-much-of-the-unobservable-universe-will-we-someday-be-able-to-see/#21c8ca66f827 Posted by Foxy, Monday, 27 July 2020 6:27:50 PM

To Armchair Critic- Elon Musk talks about "reasoning by first principles" verses "reasoning by analogy"- he says that everyone reasons by analogy most of the time because reasoning from first principles is perceptively intense and time consuming- Perhaps that is the difference between religion and ethics. To me if a person thinks at all it is good- at least it stems the tide of the ideologues- it's wonderful to see a mind experience something for the first time.

Foxy,
the article goes into great detail and even repeats itself at times, BUT it only speaks of time and how long it will take us to see what is billions of light years away. As informative as it is, it does not answer my question/s about what is "outside" or beyond the universe. I only ask as it is more a philosophical question than anything else, as I have always believed that the "MATRIX" had some elements closely related to humanity's existence and very being, or NON-BEING, as the case may actually be. It takes a lot of faith and a lot more unconditional acceptance of the unknown to survive in this, our current (physical) form and situation. Posted by ALTRAV, Monday, 27 July 2020 6:58:02 PM

runner: You said, "It would be a lot easier to be an atheist if they had not have invented the idiotic unscientific big bang and evolution fantasies. So funny that people mock those who have faith in Christ while believing such nonsense."
The big bang theory was largely "invented" by this bloke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre By-the-way, just so that you know and to save you from making more comments from sheer ignorance: he was a priest. So presumably he believed in God. Many theists accept the big-bang theory and even drawn inspiration from it because it is a consequence of the theory that the universe had a beginning. And that beginning they say is "The Creation", a the work of God. Posted by thinkabit, Monday, 27 July 2020 9:39:26 PM

The question is:
What lies beyond THIS universe?
Is it infinite, and goes on forever and we are swallowed up into our own subconscious, and become a spiritual entity, if so where do we reside in this form?
If we say that the universe has a physical end, it stops.
OK then what is beyond that?
Now let's see if there are those with faith and in what context, if they can answer these questions at all.
