Do you believe in god?

hmm..... Well, considering the following fact, I think we can make a very good guess:

matter-energy cannot be created or destroyed

If you can't create matter-energy, how is it that any matter-energy exists? and where did it come from if it is utterly impossible to create it by any means no matter how advanced your technology and knowledge are?

The two possible answers are:

1) It just is and was always there

2) Something beyond our comprehension made it

I personally think the latter makes more sense, especially considering that other facts such as the second law of thermodynamics (the entropy of the universe is always increasing) become far easier to explain; but you cannot definitively disprove the first option either.

 

 

Or possibly the second law of dynamics didn't always exist. Just because the laws of physics seem to be unbreakable presently doesn't mean they always existed, it's pretty much assumed that before the universe they didn't exist and even that for the first few moments of the big bang they didn't either.

 

Yeah, that's definitely possible, but imho, it's easier to believe in a "god" than the physical laws of the universe just randomly appearing out of nowhere. (note the "easier" thing to believe is not necessarily true, but most of the time, it seems it is)
