Default Re: God and Free Will

But such things are only proven in our universe. If we try to extend these theories beyond space-time itself, all it really amounts to is dubious hand waving. Sure, it sounds good and scientific on the surface and makes you feel smart ("Oh, now I *really* know everything!"), but honestly all it amounts to is playful theorizing.

Hrmm, this post sounds antagonizing but I don't intend it to be. Basically my point is that these supposed theories are like religions unto themselves -- they are unprovable explanations to where we came from. Just because they sound "smarter" doesn't mean they are better than another explanation, and people who don't even fully grasp these theories certainly shouldn't go around insulting religion. (Keeping your thoughts on the matter respectful or to yourself is perfectly fine obviously).
