Be careful, at one time the notion of the Earth circling the Sun "defied logic".
("Don't be ridiculous, if the Earth were moving we'd feel it, or fall off!")
Armchair "logic" is fine for brainstorming some ideas to test, but sooner or later you need to reality-check them or it's all just alchemy.
3: The third option is that matter was created.
Right, by the Big Bang. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
This option is not only logical, it is the best explanation of all and solves the difficulties of the first two explanations. This is the only option that has some evidence in its favor.
Indeed.
It did not defy logic, it defied popular scientific belief. Your statement can be used as easily against evolution. Push it to it's ultimate conclusion and the assertion becomes "logic is unreliable." Such a statement is an attempt to exempt your belief system from the laws of logical thinking. If your system of belief must be exempted from the laws of logic then it is nothing but a primitive (!) religion devised by men fearful of facing the God from whom they have fled.

I'm all for that. Lets put a reality check on your explanation for the existence of matter. Understand, Mr. Dan, that much of your theory is alchemy. You have still failed to address the issue.

I think you might be in over your head as well. Why would you, Dan Day, who defends what he calls a scientific theory, ascribe to an explosion the attributes of deity? Do you still claim evolution is not a religion?
