Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease.

The revelation we've come to is that we can trust our memories of a past with lower, not higher, entropy only if the big bang - the process, event, or happening that brought the universe into existence - started off the universe in an extraordinarily special, highly ordered state of low entropy.

There may be many Big Bangs that happened at various and far-flung locations, each creating its own swelling, spatial expanse, each creating a universe - our universe being the result of only one of those Big Bangs.

There's no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
