You know, it's an interesting question. With all our technology, the super computers, all the DNA and Genome knowledge we are acquiring, we still can't create 'Life'.
My son thinks Aliens seeded the Planet. That's as good as any other theory I've heard.
Jack...
...the answer to the question, "Can something physical create itself?"...
...is...
...wait for it...
...I DO NOT KNOW...AND NEITHER DOES THE UGLY ONE.
Nobody does.
If what we humans call "the universe" is a creation (something we do not know, but people like the ugly one blindly guesses is the case)...
...anyway, if what we humans call "the universe" is a creation...it either was created by something else or it was created by ITSELF.
We simply do not know.
Fact is, we actually do not even know if this thing we humans call "the universe" IS A PHYSICAL THING.
It may not be. (More about that some other time.)
The fact is that science may some day determine that SOME physical things CAN create themselves. It may even determine that this thing we humans call "the universe" DID JUST THAT...CREATED ITSELF.
Or it may determine that it, or its precursors, ALWAYS existed.
Ugly is being a dickhead about this...but ya gotta understand it. He thinks that "Creator" of his might find a reason to punish him by having him endure torture for all the rest of eternity.
Big motivation for all that bullshit of his.
By the way...Ugly is pretending to ignore me. He's supposedly not going to see any of this. You might want to discuss it.
