Wasn't talking to you prologos...
But if you are keen to catch the ball, the reference to being lazy is attached to the most basic concepts of science and energy. A trip to the library or 5mins on the amazon book section would result in resources that would allow you to see why these comments are unscientific and inaccurate.
Lazy because we have spoken about these things for years now and yet the same people clearly haven't even read the first chapters of a basic science book. To me, for someone that wants to take their spiritual beliefs into the science realm, the very least to do is read a science book....
Disagree?
Without doing so, how do you even use the words 'science' or 'energy'? It is first important to realise what these words mean.
I am tired of seeing the same peolple argue science and complex physics without the most basic understanding of these highly complex areas. I know my limitations in these area and I know I know nothing.
As for the definition of 'nothing', they are following the evidence, not intuition, not what feels right to us, not what is logical etc etc. Our understanding of the word nothing has no connection whatsoever to do with the reality of what nothing may represent, if we are calling the pre-big bang conditions 'nothing'.
Let's be honest, we can't even define 'nothing'. We can't even give an example of nothing. It is an arbitrary concept ast best, as we in our ignorance think of it, but....it may be totally irrational as a concept in the first place.
How is it possible for nothingness to exist? It is just as unintuitive as assuming there is no such thing as nothing. So rather than use gut feelings, let's wait for the data and evidnece. Krauss does it for a day job, we don't.
I don't want to talk god with you prologos, but for me, simply saying god came from nothing, is infinite and had no beginning.... is neither helpful, evidence based or interesting. I am not assuming you assume this, but from your past comments it may be the case. Anyway, I see no reason why your god is attached to the concept of nothingness, cosmology or the big bang. There is certainly no evidence for a god so far.
Krauss is working with math and evidence, for me, that is where my interest lies.
