Quote:Was our universe created? That is, was it brought into being by an entity with a mind? This is a question I began pondering after my recent inquiry into the end of the universe. (For some reason, cosmic mysteries are best contemplated in pairs.) It is the fundamental issue that separates religious believers, ranging from Deists to Gnostics to Southern Baptists, from nonbelievers. To many atheists, the very idea that our world could have been created by a conscious being seems downright nutty. How could anyone, even a god, “make” a universe?
To get a better understanding of this matter, I thought it might be wise to consult the man who has done more than anyone else to explain how our universe got going. His name is Andrei Linde, and he is a physicist at Stanford University……

Is this scientific masturbation? A good idea? Something we have no way of ever knowing?
It made me think of the end of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, where Marvin reads God final message to his creation written in 3 mile high letters of fire:
“We appologise for any inconvenience”
