RE: "ALL PHYSICS BREAKS DOWN"
The fact that ALL physics and chemical laws breakdown before the BB and at times t less than the Planks time after the BB reinforces that fact that whatever initiated the creation/expansion of the universe cannot be subject to natural laws. You cannot empirically prove that which you cannot grasp.

RE: "Smartest thing you have said in this thread after 4 pages of complete bullshit"
What's with the raging hormones, bro? You getting emotional?

@Sheldon
You're asking for empirical physical evidence for the one who initiated the laws of physics and chemistry? LMFAO!

Next joke please!

@Cognostic
I should get a Physics degree? Pretty fucking rich from the same dummy who said this: "The cosmos may be a closed system from which the Big Bang"!

Like SMH. What does that even mean?

@Cognostic
"The cosmos may be a closed system from which the Big Bang emerged!"
Kindly explain yourself

Atheist assertion:

"God" is not created.
GOD is the agency of creation itself (ie. is in/of the creation itself).

The Hebrew word 'god':

el: towardness "bestowing"
oh: conduit
im: sea "receiving"

as in a figure 8, reciprocity of bestowing/receiving via a shared conduit (ie. a point of mutual interest) ad infinitum. Therefor, when two conscious beings who contain their own 'I am' establish a connection with one another, their relationship revolves around whatever 'that' is between them. Therefor 'I am that I am' is not a being, it is a state of being assumed by a connected couple wherein 'that' can be anything they both so collectively will, and each 'I am' is... either boundless or bound by an identity.

1. I don't think pointing to a post on another forum as your source can be considered authoritative. It's like me directing someone to a post on reddit that says Robert Downey Jr is the president of America as authoritative info. Not saying physicsforum is a bad site, but like most public forums, it is open to opinion and speculations.
2. I did read d entire thread u cited and d same post u clipped ur snippet 4rm goes on to say the universe is probably closed in answering the posters question. He only put d part u clipped out in other to break down what the OP was trying to mean by his question

Anybody can click the link to fact check and probably just read the full answer.
3. I wasn't really weighing in on whether the universe is a closed system. I just think you have a different understanding of the word cosmos.

@reedemption re: 1. I don't think pointing to a post on another forum as ur source can be considered authoritative.

IT'S NOT AUTHORITATIVE. It's a physics forum. That is the whole point. Go over there and express your nonsense.

2. Do you know what the word "PROBABLY" means? We do not know!!!!!!

Arguments have flown both ways for decades and no one has yet reached an agreed upon conclusion. Some theories require an Open universe and others a Closed universe. Choose your poison but do not pretend you have the only right answer.

Go post your offal on the physics forum.

Re: Who made god?

I'm gonna take a stab here and say it was the milkman. You see, Grandfather God was always away creating his six-dimensional universes. He would be gone for twleve days, come home and rest for two days, and then head back out for another twelve days to create another universe. Naturally, this was not working out so well for Grandma God, who was always home alone and bored. As a result, Grandma God eventually ended up having a little fling with the milkman. And then - OOPS! - Grandma God had to do some quick-thinking explaining to Grandfather God when she became pregnant with the milkman's baby.

Grandma God told Grandfather God that she had been "Divinely Impregnated" by the God of a much higher level of omniscience and omnipotence. Strangely enough, Grandfather God totally believed her. (Either that, or he just really didn't give a shit.) Anyway, he claimed it was a "miracle", and then immediately left out to go create another universe.

So, roughly about eight eons later, the god we know as Father God was born, and he grew up and eventually created our three-dimensional universe after streamlining Grandfather God's six-dimensional plans. He was even able to create our universe in half the time (six days) with only one day of rest. And everything was actually going pretty good for him for awhile. That is, though, until he messed around and got some young virgin human girl pregnant. Shit just went downhill for him at that point. Like father, like son, I suppose... *shrugging shoulders*...
