When I was 11 or 12, my dad worked for JPL on a small part of the Voyager spacecrafts. He was allowed (or maybe he just took the liberty) to etch his name on one of the crafts. He passed away last year and I can hardly imagine that something with his name on it is over 13 billion miles away...and he is not here...
The universe, finite or infinite, is beyond my ken.
@hakima saidI'm sorry for your loss hakima.

I've lost both my parents, and the world isn't the same.
@hakima saidSorry for you loss. An amazing story.

@kellyjay saidYes, most likely.
Is the universe we live in eternal in size or scope?
I say, no.
It is an error to view the big bang as the start of everything.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidReally, at worse I would have thought it was just a piece of the puzzle that points to a beginning. You have something you can put up next to the Big Bang evidence that suggests what you are saying is not the error instead of the other way around?
Yes, most likely.

The universe has always existed, in one form or another. There are endless big bangs and big crunches, negatating any notion of a beginning. And hey, time is merely a human construction anyway to make the incomprehensible comprehensible.
We can debate this for a few days if you like, or simply agree now that I am right.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat is a heck of a truth statement, and you know this how?
Yes.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI choose option two, I disagree. 🙂 I bet you didn't see that coming. LOL

@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo, I'm just being clear that God, and a god, are not the same by any reasoning.
If you need a particular God, let's go with Waheguru.
