Eh? In order to measure space, you can go from one point to another. If you didn't hit anything on the way, you went through that distance of space.

Now obviously if the universe is empty than you can't really measure it, but then it's moot anyway because neither you nor I would exist.

Didn't those things within the singularity exist or were they suddenly created?

Before the Big Bang?

There was bumping, and thumpin,
and someone said , "Was it god for you?"
Then some idiot just had to light a cigarette.

My understanding (and IANA physicist) is they did not exist but were created at the time.

Were the componets of which they were comprised exist before the sudden expansion of time space.

How would you locate a point in empty space? IOW what's you're frame of reference?

I'm not sure of the question. Of what components are space and time comprised?

That image there is an apt reprensation to the cult of evo, built upon lies and a very sad state of affairs it is.

What does Planned Parenthood have to do with a scientific theory?

Programmer's analysis of "Prime:" 1 is prime, 2 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is... a feature, 11 is prime, 13 is prime...

I'll go out on a limb here and say "space and time."

But just like the Big Bang, evolutionary theory is based on an appeal to false authority...

Alas, I am afraid the Big Bang is based on strong observational evidence for an expanding universe. That evidence consists of the cosmological redshift, and the cosmic microwave background. Do you have some alternative explanation for these phenomena?

The components, shall we say, of the matter that took shape as the universe expanded. Did they arise from nothingness or were they contained in their entireity within the singularity?

Well it has about as much to do with a scientific theory as the cult of evolution has, or anything you post here as well. IOW a lot or not very much at all.

"Godless: The Church of Liberalism," it wears the cloak of science (pseudo) in the form of evolutionary beliefs.

I see. Factual information really causes you a problem, doesn't it? I see you can't even answer why you posted what you did.

Of course, we now have to deal with the "cult" of astonomy, the "cult" of physics, the "cult" of chemistry.

So many "cults," so little time.
