Universe age should be an arrow to infinity.

Also, you can go faster than the speed of light.

You’re welcome.

“Photonic energy or a form of electromagnetic radiation is you prefer.”

Not light?

Interesting intellectual exercise, but much ado about nothing important. How the universe began or even if it began, is a fun question to tussle with but has no conceivable bearing on our lives. Like pretty pictures from the new satellite observatory. Fun to see what some galaxy far far away looked like a billion years ago.

I had issue #1 of the Silver Surfer...

My all-time favorite comic, and character. Especially the Ron Lim run in the late '80s, early '90s.

A radical thought:

The universe is eternal.
God is eternal.
The universe and God are the same.

And in His immensity He loves us.

The headline suggested to me that the universe did not have a beginning...and not simply that it’s beginning had a quick inflationary phase.

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

I guess you and I are the only two Douglas Adams reading Freepers!

Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

alternatively...

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Everytime I kiss you
I taste what other men had for lunch

The only thing that can
Get you off, is to see me in pain
But I think, I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart scream
You took everything
Oh, wild thing

Wild thing, you made me trust you
Then stuck the knife in my heart
You’re a lying, unfaithful, untrustable tramp
But I think, I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart scream
You took everything
Oh, wild thing

Wild thing

Oh, we all got some kind of wild thing
That went through our lives and made it Hell
‘Cause everyone’s had one
You and me, nobody likes to lose

And you know she’s out there laughing at you
I don’t care if it was last week or third grade
Someone broke your heart, what was her name?

Wild thing, I’ll never forgive you
You make my heart scream
How do you live with yourself?
You took everything, you never loved me
Oh, wild thing, you used me

I hope you slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood
(You make my heart scream)
Why didn’t you tell me you were a Demon from Hell?
(You took everything)

You deserve the men your gonna meet, you loser
(Oh, wild thing)
Railroad bums, transients, out of work guys
(Wild thing)

Guys that are gonna use you like you used me
(Wild thing)
Guys that are gonna take money out of your purse
And crawl out a window
(Wild thing)
Oh, oh

(Wild thing)
What’s her name? Yeah

I believe that the universe is so vast for a reason, the distance between stars so great for a reason. God is that reason and if he wills it I’ll be privy to His reasons when he so chooses. In the meantime I appreciate those that continue to explore the universe in search of answers, it’s a noble pursuit, but at the end of the day I hope those same scientists spend a little time under a clear night sky and marvel at what God has created.

I am by no means an astrophysicist, nor do I pl ay one on tv. That being said, the big bang theory as always seemed a bit off to me because of a few things...

1. Scientists believe that the universe is expanding, but I have never heard of from where. Where is the starting point? Have they discovered where the big bang happened? Wouldn’t is be near the center of the universe?

2. How can you make something rom nothing. Elementary science class taught me that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so if the big bang created everything in the universe, how did it create nothing from something?

3. Light can travel at the speed of light...obviously, but matter cannot. So how did the big bang send matter that has formed into galaxies, stars, planets, etc. billions of light years away from wherever it supposedly began? If the age of the universe is supposedly 13.8 billion years old, matter wouldn’t have had near enough time to travel that far in order to form together to make those things. In fact, the farther away from the center of the big bang that you get, you would have less and less matter...meaning less and less galaxies, etc., but this isn’t the case as galaxies are to be found pretty much throughout the entire known universe.

issue #1 of the Silver Surfer is worth $10k last I checked.

I also had many other #1 issues of several DC and Marvel comics.

I had possibly well over a hundred comics in all from the mid to late 60’s.

My mom threw away them all when I joined the Marines.................
