Religion is a hypothesis.

[OPTIONAL777]

As to what may be truth, your credibility is shot by the things you state but are obviously determined to understand nothing about.

stu, the self appointed judge of credibility...

If that is not the surest example of hubris to the nth degree...

...as well as someone who cannot simply show where someone is wrong, but needs to tell them off without proving the point...

Quote from stu:

You are either suggesting the existence of the Universe is in question OR how the Universe came into existence is in question.
Which is it?

There is evidence the Universe exists. There is no such evidence God exists.

You haven't yet determined nor have you apparently understood the difference in how the Universe exists and God doesn't, yet, you are evidently conceited enough to presume to know scientists are "dismayed" and are discovering "nothingness".

As to what may be truth, your credibility is shot by the things you state but are obviously determined to understand nothing about.
Which is exactly what religion teaches you to do.

false dichotomy,

Both are in question depending upon what evidence one accepts/rejects,you fool.

I obviously rattle your cage enough that you still.... after what,...... years feel a clear need to try reply to nearly every post I make to defend all your absurdity.

A Trolls argument for God is ....

trees can't see the forest.
H2O becomes water

Are you seriously suggesting it is true the Universe exists or not , simply depending on what someone considers to be evidence?
Only personal evidence leads to fact?

You can have your own opinions but you cannot have your own facts. Or had you not noticed that?

There are those that would argue, myself included, that the existance of the Universe is the evidence of a Creator.

How do you view the Creator's role in creation of the universe? Did it create the first cause then let things unfold or does it have an active hand all the way to present?

That's a damn good question. I am conflicted, but if I had to make an assumption right now, I'd be more inclined to believe the Universe was created with all elements for life to occur in whatever random twists and turns those elements would take until a higher level being evolved. That would be us. At that point opportunity would exist to establish communication with the Creator. While communication is now possible, I think there's a long ways to go in perfecting that communication. It's easy enough to believe that all events occuring are still random, but I suspect we humans are mucking up the events rather than the Creator. It's all about evolution and we are still evolving to a higher level of understanding. What appears to be cruel, may all be part of the learning curve. I know, there are many holes in my theory.

[OPTIONAL777]

longshot loves stu.

stu loves killthesunshine.

Therefore longshot still has his tongue up stu's butt even with the new handle killthesunshine.

stu slums it with longshot, thus ruining his credibility.

Some things never change...
