These answers are easy to ignore. Your complete lack of an answer to question 1 reveals the scientific inability to explain the most basic of questions: Whether matter or energy, when did it start? The so-called Big Bang pre-supposes existing matter that exploded. How was it created? What caused it? What ever happened to cause and effect? (For the story of the mighty being tearing it all down read Revelation 21:1 and 1 Peter 3:12.)

Regarding Cantor: I am talking about physical reality, not sets of numbers - numbers being a formless idea. Also, a finite region must have borders or risk being infinite. Even if there is no structural border an end to the region must be understood for it to be a region. What lies beyond that borderless-but-finite region called Space? Or is it actually infinite? Explain that... scientifically, of course.

In the macro sense we do not have the experience to have observed the Universe exhibiting a general entropy. But, in the micro sense we see the opposite happening regularly. New plant and animal life have occurred throughout measurable history, each time seeming to become more complex. How can this be? If you believe that the entire Universe will eventually experience the kind generalized entropy that the Second Law points to, considering the constant creation of new stars and systems, you have greater faith than I. Unfortunately, what you have faith in does not love you.

Of course they are; I didn't really expect anything else from you. Sometimes someone in this forum surprises me with a flash of honest scientific curiosity, but not today.

There are plenty of things I'd like to know more about, and maybe you're an expert on one of them, but science and mathematics definitely aren't it. Let's try something more promising: religion (not my favorite subject, but I'm trying to play to your strengths). Which is a worse offense, to forget to observe a holy rule, or to remember it but deliberately break it? And why?
