It was not us who spoke about God and our world and worlds outside our view. No human can do that.
I have books that us humans wrote "about God and our world and worlds outside our view".

One is called the Holy Bible. Goggle if you never seen a copy.

No matter how you try to increase your view, you can never see how much money that is inside the wallet of a man standing at the bus stop, nor can you see the Agofure bus leaving Ughelli nor can you ever see which woman would be lying on coolusername's bed.
What you've described above is nowhere like what I'd call "increasing ones view", and in fact might better be seen as poking sticks in ones view so one does not see any view at all. For how is it that increasing ones view extends to someone else's wallet or woman?

I've heard something about a big crunch hypothesis.
According to this big crunch hypothesis, the universe ends in a reversal of the big bang or a collapse of the universe and then another universe begins afterwards. The hypothesis claims that our universe may not be first or last, but that our universe is just one in a never ending cycle of big bangs and big crunches. This hypothesis indicates an infinite cycle of universes.

Although, it's just a hypothesis.
Thank you very much. I too have heard many hypothesis, and it is conceivable that something must have come out of something as the big crunch hypothesis suggests. The big bang theory suggests the same thing to me, since something has to exist to go bang if one thinks about it.

What I admire more is your "it's just a hypothesis", as in something to further consider, as opposed to something to be believed and stop asking and knocking and seeking.

There are only two possible explanation, it is either the universe came into existence or the universe has always being. If the universe has always being then there would have being an infinite amount of time before we could ever get here, meaning we would not have existed at all.
I am reading your "being" as been. Correct me if i misunderstand please.

The assumption that there are "only two possible explanations", I doubt, considering the numerous universe creation narratives believed. In fact, isn't this discussion the dispute of myths themselves, or would you like to argue anyone saw a big bang?

That said, yes, I agree that the universe must either have always been or it gradually came into being, and evidence suggests the latter at least from our earthly observation, that it gradually came into being, hence the many creation records like "God said" and big bang, all we humans way of understanding what we observe and writing it in books to disseminate it to those who can not observe for themselves.

Your claim though that "If the universe has always being then there would have being an infinite amount of time before we could ever get here, meaning we would not have existed at all", I don't think I understand.

It seems like you are claiming that if a very large and long amount of time had passed, we humans would not have existed.

Can you explain what you mean by "infinite amount of time", please, and tell me why say, if the universe was born 10 million years ago, humans would not exist.

Steep:
The cyclical model of universe has being debunked. the law of thermodynamics only works in one direction which is disorderliness essential hence the universe could not have being eternal at all leaving only one possibility which is that the universe truly came into being and was not eternal.
I assume eternal means always been. Do atheists claim the universe is eternal?

In fact, I'll ask them myself.

Atheists! Is the universe eternal?

Steep:
Funny how atheists could trust their brains if their brains were a product of cosmic accident?
First, I'm beginning to think it is scientists that you mean when you say atheist, like you abhor their use of their own senses.

Second, I do not think atheists claim their brain is a "product of cosmic accident". In fact, I'd say the atheists claim is their brain is a product of development over a very long period of time, and that humans have evolved consequently from single cells with perhaps some accidents along the way.

Should we ask atheists, again, maybe, instead of you trying to portray them as you seem to think they are?

Steep:
By the way atheism didn't give anything, technology is a product of Intelligence and only intelligence can produce intelligence.
I never said atheism gave anything, I hope.

Steep:
You are deluded! Go and learn properly.

you are an ignorant person.
You are rude!

Steep:
Let me summarize for you, the unverse has a beginning because physically and mathematically it is not possible for the universe to be eternal hence many atheists are forced to say the universe came from nothing......
That doesn't then give anyone the right to impose their god in the gap and tell everyone to just believe it especially if those people would rather go ask and knock and seek with their own hearts and souls and minds and beings, is what I think.

Still, I have never heard an atheist or a scientist claim the universe is eternal. They think they so smart they know when the universe was born.

Steep:
The current cosmological science backed up by evidence shows that the universe ( space-time-material) has a beginning. It therefore mean that whatever brought the universe into being is outside the universe (space-time-material).
I have always maintained that something has to exist to go bang.

Steep:
Therefore that being is spaceless times and immaterial.
Read the italics below, and tell me if it is not trying to say the same as what you said above.

The Big Bang theory, while explaining the expansion and evolution of the universe we know, doesn't offer an explanation for what existed before the initial singularity. This singularity is a point of infinite density and temperature from which the universe is thought to have emerged.

Steep:
Many atheists scientists in trying to fix their poopoo try to conjure infinite unverses which ended up not helping them at all but infact pushed their dilemma further.
Funny. The technology learnt along their search (and by the way, they are not all atheists as more scientists since the beginning of time have been religious than not), has increase human life span alone, and that's apart from empowering you to converse with me over a long distance. Or would you rather we remain ignorant and without satellites?

Steep:
All evidence points that there is a being that is immaterial and outside of the universe that created them.
I am trying to convince myself that you are capable of accessing "all evidence", and I feel very certain you will not disappoint me.

Steep:
Now the stupid question atheists usually ask is "who created God or where did God come from?"
Imagine! You would think they read somewhere that they should ask and knock and seek with all their hearts and souls and minds and beings and they will know.

Steep:
God cannot be created because he is timeless, God cannot come from anywhere because he is spaceless or else he will not be God.
And yet it is possible to date when humans created their Gods, and God didn't exist everywhere, least not in my great grandfather's time until it was brought to where he was in a book. And there were Gods before God. And God isn't even the oldest God since some Gods have existed before God, though many have since died I admit.

But seriously. Teach me master.

Every sane person knows that we are all talking from the limits of our world and God dwell in worlds outside our view, so you are truly talking nonsense.
So, you are talking about things outside your view and beyond your limit and want us to just play along with you?

Have you considered increasing your view and looking outside perhaps, instead of asking me to stoop to your limit?

God is not an example nah. Chai. Nawa oh.

Eternal and infinite life is an attribute of God.
How do you know this? And why is God not an example?

Why is "Eternal and infinite life" an attribute of God?

In fact, do you understand that infinite means immeasurably or inconceivably great or extensive, and that because you are incapable of measuring a thing does not mean it is eternal?

FIA impose further Max Verstappen penalty after Russell Spain GP crash

The stewards deemed Verstappen to have caused a collision and issued a 10-second time penalty, dropping him to P10 in the final classification.

Post-race, they took further action by adding three penalty points to Verstappen’s Super Licence.

That moves him up to 11 for the 12-month period, meaning just one more would trigger a one-race ban for the reigning World Champion.

Ironically, the stewards announced post-race that Verstappen would not have been punished for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, but Red Bull told their reigning four-time World Champion to concede the place to Russell, a call which did not go down well with Verstappen.

You probably focus too much on food in your awake state, which might be because you don't or had periods when you did not have much to eat.

When I was much young and broke, I used to dream I found lots of money. I dreamt it so much that I used to devise plots on how to bring the money from my dream world into my real world. I finally cracked it with work.
