>God can do anything, he lives outside of time and is past, present and future. you should read the Bible and find out for yourself.
Right, so you just invent an exception. "My assumed being is special". It's literally just special pleading. It's not an answer to anything. You just look at the universe, note that we don't know everything and then just assume that "a special power being that I define as having characteristics that make it beyond query" must therefore exists. It's completely unsatisfactory and fundamentally unevidenced.
>basically that article is saying the universe is expanding into itself and the universe is infinite. which means there is no end. scientists cant even figure if Pluto is a planet or not and yet they can speculate on the size of the universe.
You do realise the question of "planet" is purely that of astronomical object classification, right? The scientific community updated classification guidelines and standards to include "dwarf planets". They did this because otherwise the Solar System would have like 20+ planets.
And for your sneering of science, it is literally the field of study and experimentation that eventually culminated in the modern society we see today. Religious ideologies did not provide us with modern technology.
>scientists used to think that asbestos was a good idea.
Okay, so should we just stop bothering to research anything? After all I guess we could all be wrong about what we think now, so therefore we should have just remained living a tribal life. Is that what you are intimating here?
>what existed before the big bang?
We don't know.

I didnt invent anything. its literally explained in the Bible which is God breathed. men wrote it, but God supplied the words. all the places and people listed in the Bible are real, have you even bothered to read it and study it? if God isnt real then please provide evidence that proves otherwise.
God provided us with technology but giving us wisdom and knowledge. if human beings are so smart then why did it take 10,000 years to invent a combustion engine? and if humans are so smart then why do we kill each other?
we think people from 1923 are stupid and cant reason how they survived. in 2123, people will think the same thing of us. thats if we dont destroy ourselves.
God speaking the words is the big bang. our existence is too perfect to just happen by accident. our Universe and everything in it is unfathomable by our tiny brains.

I didn't reference the bible when I said you were special pleading. I don't give a fuck what your bible says, nor your apologetics for it. No reason to believe that "god supplied the words". That people in the past who wrote things down can reference real places and real people doesn't mean their assertions about the universe are automatically true.
>God provided us with technology but giving us wisdom and knowledge.
No reason to believe this.
>if human beings are so smart then why did it take 10,000 years to invent a combustion engine? and if humans are so smart then why do we kill each other?
When did I say "we are so smart". We're smart enough to do those things, in the end. How long do you think a "smart" species would invent a combustion engine?
>we think people from 1923 are stupid and cant reason how they survived. in 2123, people will think the same thing of us. thats if we dont destroy ourselves.
I don't think people in 1923 were stupid.
>God speaking the words is the big bang. our existence is too perfect to just happen by accident. our Universe and everything in it is unfathomable by our tiny brains.
We're not perfect at all. You observed that yourself by noting how stupid we (apparently) are. Our planet is not perfect.
And yes, the universe is very hard to understand. So?

You don't understand the burden of evidence. You made the claim. Should we just assume everything is true until it's disproven? Does that mean that Islam is true unless I can prove the Qu'ran is false?
>why did doctors endorse smoking? I thought humans were super smart?
Because we discovered via the *scientific method* that smoking was bad for you. Are you saying that unless we know everything, that we know nothing?
