Does anything precede physics, in your view? Does the universe have borders if it is expanding?

It seems that the human mind just finds it so hard to drop the idea of borders. We can't think of this as having a beginning and an end.

Wouldn't conceiving a beginning and end (instead of unlimitedness) be a philosophical confinement, conjugating borders if you will?

I myself am a strong Atheist so no I do not believe in any type of omnipotent being that created the world. Science is logical to reality very much unlike religion.

Thanks a lot Basilides, I'm very happy to be a part of the community

The Bible even says there's a God
I don't see the point of this topic
That is a very silly statement, the point in this topic is a sensible discussion in who believes in god, why or why not? The Bible is not considered proof in gods existance whatsoever, if it could prove god to be real without a doubt we wouldn't be having this disussion. There have been many religious books written throughout time but this obviously does not mean they are all true.

You guys should watch some Red Dwarf. I know it's a comedy, but it has some excellent theories throughout the episodes.

So lets hear the password...I want in.
Well, from my personal experience, the password is LSD.

i don't believe in god and i don't necessarily believe in science either. Physics is more concrete but science can be just as much as a realigion as christianity is.
