Incidentally, the bigbang dovetails with Hindu cosmology. At the begining there was only Brahman. then he divided himself into many and the universe of matter and life came into being, complete with all the laws we see. Bang, bang! We might as well argue that this proves hindu sages had recieved knowledge from supernatural sources.
See, it is not neccessary to look through christian perspective after all. |

BLoggins02: You took my quote out of context. I never said everything has a cause. I said, everything that has a beginning has a cause. Whatever caused the universe is outside of time, and therefore has no beginning, therefore has no cause... This "Necessary Catalyst", God, or whatever you want to call it, just happens to match the God of the Bible.
Hinduwoman: Excuse my ignorance, but how does Hinduism deal with a finite amount of time? I always assumed Hinduism dealt with an infinite amount of time, with reoccuring birth, death, rebirth, etc. |
