His theory still doesn't address the Law of First Cause.

His "hacker physicists" who "create another universe", first have to start off with a little matter as Linde said. So, they had to come from somewhere and so did the matter they work with.

When you extrapolate the Law of First Cause to infinity, you arrive at an uncaused first cause....God.

intelligence was behind the creation. there is no other explanation, and objective logic (rather than objectivist philosophy) eventually leads one to this conclusion.

the creation is too perfect and too synchronized to be random. the chicken and the egg analogy dictates some intervention... unless one believes in some form of fractal evolutionary theory.

i read too much.

Or, it's all a figment of something's imagination? What something?

The way most people decide what is naturally occurring and what is a created artifact, is by checking for orderliness and purpose.  A manufacturer's label is a tip-off too.   So when we walk outside and we see a pencil and a rock, we can pretty much guess that the pencil is an artifact and the rock is natural.  

It's real easy to see order and purpose in the cosmos.  IMHO we even have manufacturer's labels and instruction manuals.  The problem comes with the concept of 'is'.  'Is' a characteristic of the universe-- IOW, before the beginning, 'is' wasn't.  

So if anyone asks 'is' there a God?, I might have to answer "no" -- that as far as I can tell, our Creator makes 'is' and can't be characterized by it.

Linde is the poster boy for atheistic ID. Remember next time somebody tells you that ID is synomous with religion that Linde says the designer was Joe Blow in the garage in Universe 6.

Dr Hugh Ross has the best explanations of the universe. The universe was created to the smallest detail. A college girl majoring in Microbiology said there were no atheist in microbiology. Visit Reasons.org and get the details explained better than this guy.

Yes.

Hey, lighten up, OK? I am new at this. This is only my 10 x 1,000,000,000 times that I have tried to do this. Trust me, I will get it right eventually. I just need to tweak a few equations.

In the mean time, with your kind permission, I might take a few precious moments, say 10 x 1,000,000 light years, to work on my Jerk Chicken recipe, if you don't mind. And then, Shazzam! (Shazzam = a Google of light years), I will have the answer for you. As they used to say, back in the 10 to the negative tenth days, keep the "faith baby".

Hang in there people, God

IMHO it has always been a problem of logic....if you're in the box..just how exactly do you determine the outside dimensions and properties?
