> dhw; Yep, the Big Bang Theory favours creation, and the No Beginning Theory favours creation even more (which it always did before anybody came up with the Big Bang Theory). So theists can't lose. Nor of course can atheists. Nobody knows what preceded the Big Bang if it happened, so you can still have time going back infinitely far, and in the course of infinite time you can have infinite big bangs and infinite combinations of matter, thereby infinitely reducing the odds against a life-inducing combination. So as I said, whether it's Big Bang or rainbow gravity "doesn't make the slightest difference to the God argument one way or the other."-True enough. But the argument for God involves much more than the Big Bang.
