I want to know why the universe exists, why there is something greater than nothing.

The moment you understand the whole Universe, is the moment you slightly begin to understand the way God's mind works

Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers. I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space. I therefore want to encourage public interest in space.

There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.

When I get to heaven I'm gonna find the guy in charge of the weather and kick his rear.

We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them

The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
