If the universe is impossible as we understand it, perhaps we need to change our understanding of it.

As Mattias Desmet said, "science adapts its theories to reality, but ideology adapts reality to its theories."

Must be time to rethink our theories.

They dont like doing that.

Academical dogmatic inertia.

They don’t like entire careers that turn out to be wrong.

Prof. Jeffrey Kripal calls it the “cats in the library” problem.

The cats will never understand the books in the library—but both cats and the library are real.

P.S. Neither the cats nor the library are “good” or “evil”.

;-)

I saw a a lecture by Michio Kaku, physicist at New York University, in which he stated that he has come to the reckoning that a universe created by intelligent design is probably its best explanation. He said that the everything in the universe is so finely tuned, to include the four forces of nature, that the odds of everything accidently happening just right could be 1 of 10^200.
