“The hard swallow built into science is this business about the big bang…
This is the notion that the universe, for no reason, sprang from nothing in a single instant… notice that this is the limit test for credulity.
Whether you believe this or not, notice that it is not possible to conceive of something more unlikely, or less likely to be believed.
I defy anyone. It’s just the limit case for unlikelihood: that the universe would spring from nothing in a single instant for no reason… ”
-Terence McKenna
Easy, it all depends on your definitions of, "reason", "nothing" and "spring". I mean, after all, now that "recession" doesn't mean recession, why should those other words be a problem?
