1.
all existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos. The universe is believed to be at least 10 billion light years in diameter and contains a vast number of galaxies; it has been expanding since its creation in the Big Bang about 13 billion years ago.

Maynman:
If we define universe as existence, then won’t the question “who created existence” be more interesting than “who created the universe”.
These creator can’t be a BEING.

BEING comes from BE-Ing, meaning i am.
The word “is” also means the same thing as “being”.
This “is” a car.
This “is” a dog.

Dtruthspeaker:


Only you ask whether universe na existence and na you still dey talk say universe na existence, you don mad finish. Na to dey laugh for market as you dey walk naked with your dada hair remain.

Dumbest theist on nairaland, I said “If”.

Dtruthspeaker:

Maynman:

Dumbest theist on nairaland, I said “If”.

The D has to stand for something!

1MILLIONLiGHTS:
I believe God created the universe. I theorize that the universe is vast and endless.

Maynman:

Okay, yahweh worshipper.

Maynman:
Universe means everything that exists, then a “creator” that created everything that exists will be non existing.

Maynman:
Can we define universe as simply Existence?

budaatum:

This is illogical. The statement "a “creator” that created everything", implies the existence of a "creator" that created something, since a creator that is "non existing" can not have created anything that exists.

Perhaps the creator created itself first, though I can't yet figure how it would or could.

budaatum:


No we can't. Unless we wish to subscribe to humptydumptyism where words mean whatever you want them to mean.

Maynman:

What then is Universe?

budaatum:


Wikipedia pretty much defines it as all that exists.

The universe is all of space and time[a] and their contents,[10] including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy.

Maynman:

I don’t care if the thread is derailed. It is all for fun.

budaatum:


Bad teachers tend to make the mistake of spending more time with class disruptors than their learning students. The consequence is that no teaching occurs.

Maynman:

So the whole of existence?

budaatum:


Pretty much.

Maynman:

Spending more time with class disruptors is also learning. Sometimes teaching is not needed, just observe.

budaatum:


So, just observe them. Perhaps?

budaatum:


Your learning I guess. So, just observe them. Perhaps?
