Reply #72: The beginning of my very last post answered exactly that question.

Besides, you apparently can't even follow who you're talking to. You asked skepticscott that question, not me.

How incredibly lazy of you. You just manufacture an excuse to complain about something, and, very predictably, say nothing more to any other issue on the table.

Is every nit you want to pick going to be a 10-word post laid down as a show stopper for you, while you leave scads of questions unanswered?

Here, I'll answer your question to skepticscott: Q: Where did the matter from which the Big Bang banged come from? A: I don't know, and neither do you.

And now I'll repeat from my last post, which addressed the above quite well:

"Something, be it a god or a physical universe, either always existed, suddenly came into being, or doesn't fit easily into human conceptions of time allowing us to form a proper origin question. Occam's Razor favors not introducing extra "entities", and you just have to say "I don't know" when you can't figure out more, with or without a god."

Any other delay tactics or diversions left to get out of the way? Or is it finally time for a terse expression of exasperation to cover your ass on the way out?
