Answer 1

Did ALL of these become beautiful by chance? I think not † :

Answer 2

What is it with you guys? Do you ever think about the words and stupid phrases your leaders tell you to say? Who has ever said the universe was an accident?

Let me answer that. It is lying and dishonest Creationists who claim that scientists say it was an accident or random event. Anyone with a decent education would know that such explanations are the antithesis of science and, if true, would render science as useless and meaningless as religion in explaining the physical universe.

If you want to criticize something, being informed about it will keep you from appearing so foolish and uneducated…oh...wait… ’uneducated’ is a defining characteristic of conservative Christians. My mistake.

Answer 3

Neither. Reality is neither created nor the result of random chance. It is instead the result of beautiful mathematical laws. These mathematical laws of such great beauty have been selected by our own existence.

The answer to the origin of apparent complexity, is not to presuppose it was created by an even greater complexity. You don't explain a seeming improbability by a greater improbability. We know how complexity arises in complex systems and it is through selection. In the case of biological systems it is through Natural Selection. You don't need to violate Occam's razor by presupposing an infinitely improbable creator to do it.

Look at Wolfram's rule 110 for a simple example , the rule is trivially simple ( Just one line of computer code ). Yet it has been mathematically been proven that it generates any level of complexity desired. You only need to "select" where in the output of that rule you wish to look. Indeed it has been mathematically proven that somewhere within that output one can find any finite output you wish to find. You can find a representation of all of Shakespeare, or all of the DNA of every living thing, or even everything within the observable universe including your beautiful galaxies. The output as a whole is kolmogorov simple however within that simplicity one can select unlimited complexity. The key here is the word "select". Local complexity is selected from simplicity and variance.

In the case of reality we have a profound selection mechanism: "our own existence" We have selected a locally complex and beautiful region of reality because only local complexity and its resulting beauty enables our existence and evolution. For every beautiful region we might find ourselves in there are likely a near infinite number of ugly regions which are completely non-conducive to our existence.

Answer 4

look for me no body can answer any questions concerning universe creation may be it is just a gessing may be right may be wrong
the question in the area of the unknowns which i think will never get answered
we have alot of answer in religions which is take it or leave the whole believe
my personal opnion ,i don't like to tell a detemined stories and history about unknowns it is almost dull

Answer 5

The Universe was born in exactly the same way as you, suddenly it appeared and became conscious. A spontaneous event. If you can remember your birth and pre-existence that is, good luck

Answer 6

Created.

Answer 7

I have sat and listened to a big portion of your recorded lecture, and I read the rest myself. Perhaps you should do some research for yourself, rather than let this clown interpret things for you (whilst being condescending to Atheists in the process, a common tactic of brainwashing).

Go and read up about M-theory, String-theory etc etc etc and you will see that ALL his arguements are beautifully explained naturally without the need of the existance of God.

Scientifically speaking, God has no need to exist.

Answer 8

Catch a grip on yourself- what do you mean God created all things except sin? What claptrap!
The so-called God of Genesis is a murdering, vengeful, thoroughly unpleasant misogynistic myth.

Lets hope the answer to the Universe is a little more inspiring!

Answer 9

I wouldn't refer to the natural cause of the universe as an accident, I think thats a word religious people use to paint my world view in a bad light and then your people accuse my people of acting immorral.

Answer 10

It wasn't created by god, -god was created by man. The Universe is an accident, known as the big bang...

Answer 11

the universe was definitely created
