God of the Gaps! God of the Gaps! God of the Gaps!
Ya gotta lotta lotta gaps... more and more each year it seems.

Do you have any idea how foolish you look shrugging off your intellectually lazy logical fallacy? It completely belies your supposed quest for truth.

And no, there aren't more every year. Just more questions once we get some answers, as good science always goes.

I could go on.... we gotta a lotta Gaps!

Like a good little trained monkey, you centralize your God of the Gaps nonsense around the admittedly most perplexing and difficult to support scientific idea. Meanwhile, your crusty old man discussion went super deep with the insight that the Big Bang supports Genesis because it says...there is a beginning...

Wow. Super solid, paradigm shifting work there. Holy. S*&^.

You know what else it supports then? Every other God damn origins myth ever to come from a human's brain.

Glad you found a box to put me in... we wouldn't want you going around all confused.

Confused? No. But it did clarify several things, like why you have zero arguments. Ever. Why you throw around logical fallacies like it's your job. Always. Why you fundamentally misunderstand the science you purport to know. Also always. What you've learned is through a distorted lens of charlatans and pseudointellectuals who came to a conclusion first and use the non-existence of answers to their loaded questions as answers, all while producing zilch as far as knowledge of actual usefulness and substance.

Based on the various accounts of "intelligence reports," there probably isn't a clear picture (outside a tight circle in-country) of what's going on with Iran's nuclear affairs. At this point, Israeli estimates should rate on a par with the answers you receive from a Magic 8 Ball (Trump merch version: www.officialtrump2024store.com). Right up there with Trump's yapping.

Tangentially, more than a few times I've wondered if the Iranians had as much of the sort of material they allegedly possessed, why hadn't one or more dirty bombs not already detonated in one or more choice locales? I suppose Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is the opening response. But there are conditions under which that fact alone might not provide a sufficient deterrent.

Theories of the Universe, matter, time are losing credibility:

The Trouble With "The Big Bang"

That we have no evidence for (or against) the Big Bang Event is the reason why physicists have a large number of different hypotheses for the beginning of our universe.

Besides the Big Bang Event, our universe could have been born out of a black hole; or it could have come about in a collision of higher-dimensional membranes; or it could have started as a big network in a non-geometric phase; or our universe could cycle through eons, as Roger Penrose has proposed.

The most popular idea now is that our universe was born out of a fluctuation in a quantum field. All these alternative ideas to the Big Bang Event are possible because we cannot look back in time far enough to tell them apart.

"The bombshell results that demand a new theory of the universe

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story"

"What's the Matter?

Are we consciousness? Are we matter? Are we conscious matter? As "facts" of physics blow apart our comfortable notions of what is "real" we are all exposed to a much broader interpretation of who we are and the limits that constrain us. Hold onto your hat because a quantum wind is blowing!"
