Who created the material alluded to in the big bang theory or did it just blink itself into existence in a puff of magic smoke?

I’ll say it’s an unknown Pete. We do not know yet. Dosent mean we’ll never know.

One of the main reasons i remain agnostic is that i believe the main scriptures of all religions have either been distorted, altered, twisted and the true objectives have become so vague as to be contradictory..i am currently studying these ideologies one by one together with scientific data…to date -creationism and abiogenesis/evolution- are the only ideologies under study…it must be said that as a sound basis …i believe the original source of all life and creation is the work of a magnificent superior design…take abiogenesis, the theory that all life began from inanimate matter, the inanimate matter had to be created to start with…..hence…..there can never be any concrete proof of their not being a super-natural designer…which leaves only creationism as a believable ideology, in my opinion.

I have to admit that i don’t have any faith in a god of any form.
I was born into a catholic household but due to how my father brought up religion in a condescending hypocritical way it made me turn away from it all together.

Surely you cant let the past experience map out your future ritzy…as free thinking adults one of the most precious gifts we have is that of the ability to question…..question everything, another problem with scriptures is that the followers often mis-interpret what they believe to be true…its a life long quest thats for certain and the scale of information to establish a sound understanding is phenomenal.

The concept of the supernatural is in the realms of the supernatural. The concept of the supernatural dosent have a crumb of evidence to support it, yet you’re saying because a supernatural designer can never have concrete proof to disprove it’s existence then that somehow makes creationism a “believable ideology”. :?
Who created the “supernatural designer” or did he just blink himself into existence in a puff of magic smoke?

I’ve had a few, and cant be bothered going page 4. At that point it was Pete’s usual contribution of kill him or Gaz’s more liberal approch of where he was brought up.
I think Its somwhere in between. People are products of their upbringing, but this type of thing cannot be excused for anyone.

I also cant see Tel (a 50 yr old man) taking on the persona of a twenty something, and sticking up a load of pics of imaginary mates and imaginary g/f. Anyway common sense would tell anyone it aint Tel.

Ruby is barking mad. :roll:
