Drmorgansx - Yes, a few of those theories of note are Roger Penrose, Sean Carroll, and Hawking toyed with it as well.
But a cyclical universe still begs the questions of the origins of the original materials, and the physical laws that describe whatever it is such materials obey.
That seems to me to be trying to overcomplicate it in order through desperation to deny God and the spirit world.
Speaking of which, Sean Carroll's theory is the nearest I have come to a description of something like a spiritual dimension, the non specific quantum fields.
Thanks for your input.

Naomi @ 10:58 % 11:11 - you seem to take great pleasure in calling me out to tell me what I don't know objectively.
Fair enough, but the police use exactly the same method when say, they come across a dead body.
Natural causes?
Suicide?
Accident?
Foul play?
If they rule out the first three, they know there is now a miscreant about, but that's all, and then using logic and reason together with whatever clues they can gather, they build up a picture.
I am doing nothing different, but you are trying to jump ahead of me in order to criticise my method.
What would you suggest?

Quite simply two ways.
1) God is spirit and being all powerful could materialise whatever He wanted.
(I don't like that theory).
2) Our material world, when broken down into its subatomic constituents defies common sense and to me is the very essence of spirit coalesced into materialistic building blocks, he!d together and sustained by God Himself.
So, very sorry, no B&Q Nectar points for you this time around :-)

Atheist - As always I follow the evidence.
I am most surprised at your post.
Pixie has my deep respect for her friendship, her intellect, and her grasp of the issues.
Never would I insult her by using your language of dismissal and debunking.
I doubt you meant that, and I'm sure you might wish to rephrase it.

Well thanks theland :-). I'm glad neither of your two options make sense to you either...!
Pixie - Once we begin talking about quantum fields be prepared to suspend your expectations of an easily understood theory that fits nicely into your preconceived ideas of reality.
It does not, but that should not prevent further searching.
Don't you agree?

Theland, //Once again you have amply illustrated your total lack of ability to follow the argument in your haste to project yourself to front and centre.
Never mind.//
And once again you have amply illustrated your total lack of ability to reason, your only recourse, as always, being to attack me. Quite pathetic.

Theland, Khandro; my question at 18:56 was not meant to be dismissive, it was asked in good faith. I do try not to sneer or be dismissive but I am interested in what leads you to have certain faiths or views. Neither of you seems to be interested in explaining. Asking questions is not meant to be insulting or to entrap you; asking questions is to try to understand the other's point of view.
