The new news that a couple of quantum physicists have found a way to dispense with the Big Bang and all the problems associated with so-called “dark matter” has been raising philosophical posts on Facebook in the past couple of days.
On one post, a fellow commented,
…as many Buddhists have been saying for centuries. It solves the Creation ‘problem’ and dispenses with the need for a Creator. And, let’s face it, ‘My Creator is better than your Creator’ is the source of many of the world’s problems.
And I almost responded,
These days it’s more like “We have the same Creator but He likes me better than you.” Which, reductio ad absurdum, becomes “Mom likes me best, so nyah nyah nyah KABOOM.” (At least among the three major “Western” sects.)
But I thought better of it, and put it here instead 🙂
