Michio Kaku: can universes form from "nothing" ?

bohm, implications would be predictions, when observed, by necessity indirectly, it would not prove a specific proposed theory but put it within range of the competing ones. --The emerging additional energy during the accelerated expansion raise the question of the definition of emptiness:-- is that inside or outside the 3D space of the universe; for me, the 4st dimension is a given. It is the movement through time that starts with or prior these coagulations. imho

Just last night I came to page 276 of "Before the Big Bang" by B Clegg. "--the cosmological multiverses theory could be impossible to prove or disprove. As with many beliefs, this ends up with something other than science it is in effect theology, and has no place in cosmological sciences.
shepherless:"-- completely empty space is unstable and via statistics and probability, lumps of energy and mass will coagulate within that space.--"
The problem with these theories is,that they assume the existence of this latent energy in the pre-space nothingness, or empty space, and the nothingness is the "frontier" with space that is empty, still for anything to coagulate, even virtually, it has to have time, time even to the second power. so, I am not versed in multiverses.

God Made Eve From Adam’s Penis, Not His Rib, Academic Claims
by OrphanCrow inthere are days that i drop to the ground and kiss the earth in gratitude that i was born a woman.
at least women didn't have anything to do with writing the bibble.
and women don't come up with this nonsense.

Whatever was used, whoever cloned "eve", they the did a better job on the enhancement of the male/female boobs versus the "p/c" protruding sensitive area. -

Creative day 7000 years, is this correct and how did the Org come up with this idea?

wannabefree: that still leaves the discrepancy between the length of the epochs, the aeons, the 720 000 000 year periods and the biblically derived "rest day" of 7000 + years. to the writers and readers 7 days in a weak are understood to be of the same length, although the weekend is always shorter than the workdays. May be "god" should have granted himself a 2 day weekend too. -

the 7000 year figure is not correct no matter how derived, If you want to chop the "preparation" of the planet for us into 6 periods, you get 750 000 000 years per "day", and our current rest day should be that long too. which would leave another 5 days like that to the end of the endless planet

Do Jehovah's Witnesses dedicate themselves to an organization or not? Which one is it?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inanyone that is/was a dedicated jehovah's witness knows that the worship of the ''faithful and discreet slave'' is the only relationship we know.i don't remember having a personal relationship with jehovah without the governing body being in the way.they make all the rules on every matter.anyone who thinks that jehovah has any control on your daily matters is a fool.jehovah's witnesses only answer to an organization!.
"we do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization.
no, we dedicate ourselves to the supreme sovereign of the universe, our creator, jehovah god himself.

The "spirit-directed organisation" is thrown in to comply with "jesus' " instruction that the Father, Son and Spirit have to be mouthed. In addition, the candidate recognises the organisation to deal with him/her as it pleases. The candidates feels to, that big brother and his father are watching every one of their moves and the spirit will alert the Elders' org to swoop down.
