Can you prove the external world exists?

[COOL_BREEZE2]

Sooooooooo AEF. What's your favourite movie series?

Matrix by any chance? Spill the beans. Ain't no shame in that.

Of course god existing is a possibility. Everything has a possibility. That doesn't mean it truly exists though if the probability of it existing is so small and microscopic that its ridiculous.

How is it any different than the possibility that in some strange way that we don't understand, the laws of the physical universe can be broken in such a way that something can be created from nothing?

That's a paradox all by itself, but you accept that it happened without doubt.

Why is it not as "ridiculous" than our idea? In my small brain, it's the same thing.

One shows more evidence than the other of being more likely, but i'll never convince of that so I'm not going any further.

Wait a second, you're not getting off that easy. How is there ANY evidence of something from nothing in the physical universe as being possible??? :willy_nilly:

I'm not talking about how it began but how it IS, supports big bang. I admit that I don't know how everything began.


Where is your evidence of something that always was?

I've never really thought much of the Big Bang Theory. (The new show called that's pretty good though.)

I just think that it's weird that people think that everything in the universe was just a big ball of crap until it exploded for no reason creating stars, planets, stuff like that, but laugh at people saying that it always could've been there. I mean, if the Big Bang was real, what surrounded the big ball of crap? Nothing-ness? sounds kind of strange to me...

I say, agree to disagree. Neither of you will be able to convince the other either way. Everything has a beginning though. The universe is life after all.

What came first? The chicken or the egg?

That's actually not that hard of a question to answer.

The creatuon story is even more out there. At least this deals with actual science. Just read the wiki on it.

Then by all means, I'd love hear your theory.

Okay, I've answered this question somewhere before... think it was in AEF's 'Ask AEF' Thread? Anyways, the egg most likely came first. The chicken was most likely created through a series of mutations that happened either suddenly or through a period of many years. Either way, the chicken would've had to have been born out of an egg, because the only things that could've mutated into chickens were dinosaurs or something of that sort, not mammals that did not lay eggs. There's no way a chicken could've just popped up out of nowhere.

Wouldn't that mean dinos happened before the egg?

No, I just used common sense.

I don't feel like reading that, too tired now, and Wikipedia articles are too long.

Does it agree with or go against my theory? To be honest though, I don't see what's so hard about that question. Mutations are all too common, just look at modern and prehistoric sharks.

Wouldn't that be the same with dinosaurs and gators?

Now you get it.

This is what I mean when I say it cannot be explained either way. It's paradoxical both ways unless you consider extra dimensions (which my theory happens to lean towards)
