At 11/29/2004, you wrote:

. . . in the big bang theory we start from nothing and end in nothing. The universe is circular so as we expand we are also contracting. Eventually we will contract to such a large mass that it will implode into nothing and give birth to the next big bang.

So, from nothing to something to nothing? Am I the only one who can't wrap his brain around this?

That is why so many weak minds need the crutch of religion. It is difficult to grasp but to me it makes more sense than any other mythology I have heard.
