Avi Loeb, bestselling author and the former chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, penned an op-ed in Scientific American this week positing that the universe could have been formed in a lab by an “advanced technological civilization.”….

Yes, even if there are two universes, one with a laboratory!
We’re making progress if the author and his “scientist” peers have come around to the idea of creation, instead of a spontaneous “big bang” from an infinitesimally small point….
It’s amazing to me how this flies over the head of supposed intelligent people. Yes, we are living in a simulation. Yes, we were created. Duh.
Our universe is in a molecule in a drop of water which is in a glass about to be drank by person who, in turn, lives in a universe that is in a drop of water which is in a glass about to be drank by person who, in turn, lives in a universe that is in a drop of water which is in a glass about to be drank by person who, in turn, lives in a universe that is in a drop of water...
That scientists brain was cooked up in a laboratory and constructed specifically to conceive his ideas.
Reminds me of old SNL “Rosanne Rosanadanna” skits.
Ha! I miss Larson’s humor….perfect
Ain’t education grand Moe.
You forgot the cosmic juxtaposition of the oxymoronic yin-yang principle...as it posits(this is very important)...”Always, no wait, never...”

Amen. It’s always interesting to see some of these people creep right up to the line, willing to believe in an ‘advanced technology civilization’ creating humans or the universe, but not God. I guess very idea of The Lord scares them too much or they are too egotistical.
I used to have a quote pinned over my desk to the effect “centuries ago, humans viewed the universe as a clockwork mechanism, more recently as a giant computer, now it’s seen as a hologram of sorts... in coming years, what manner of toy or human construct will we imagine the universe to be?”
So it’s a computer simulation now, a created universe...
Why is it so difficult to just eff the ineffable and accept that this thing we know of as “the universe” came into being by a supernatural being, and stop the mental masturbation games?
On the other hand, the structure of the universe IS mathematical, but inquiry past origin has its limits - for now.
Not in this universe, no way! You must be confusing me with my former roommate, the chemistry major, who used to drop acid and then climb trees (stayed all day) — went on to get a PHD from John’s Hopkins. True story!
Maybe he changed his name to “Tony Tran”. He was never quite right to begin with….
A non-falsifiable non-scientific theory.
We have known all along what the truth is:
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
You write: Don’t tell me. It was created by a black, african scientist with ties to Farrakan.
No, the screed must have been written by an atheist Jew who has rejected Genesis.

The secularists insist that “intelligent design” is a dog whistle for .. . you know, those sneaky Christians.
But an advanced technological civilization creating the known universe in a laboratory is A-ok.
