Probably not the best time to put pen to paper (was just having numerous beers with my neighbour and telling him about the diversity expressed in the "suggestions to stop war in the middle east" thread), but it struck me there are so many educated opinions on religion and origins of life etc expressed on this thread, I thought an extrapolation might be in order. Now, I believe in a higher power/God, as many cultures do, but how did we get here? and I don't mean evolution, that's a no brainer.
I am not religious, atheist or agnostic but the thought crossed my mind, forget the bible/koran, how did we get here, physics is based on a few principles but the one fact that fascinates me is can you get something from nothing, the universe cannot have been here for all time, so somewhere along the line we got "something from nothing" and this goes against every current physics principle. What are your opinions?
