quote: A finite cannot contain an infinite. Science #101. There was once no heat; heat requires dual-entity friction; thus no 'shatters'; atoms [plural]; nor multiverses - these all violate the finite factor. The case in this thread is already vindicated the universe is finite, in which case none can explain its emergence outside of a universe creator or an external, precedent and transcendent force which is infinite and singularly so; namely one not subject to change. IMHO, there can be only one potential, possible exception: if another realm does exist, it will not contain anything which is already contained in this universe; nothing physical or corporeal. Thus none here would be able to percieve it.

Regarding your argument about virtual particles, it appears you are trying to argue against the Conservation of Energy. Physicists do not agree with you that quantum fluctuations or virtual particles violate this important law of physics. To quote from Wikipedia In the modern view, energy is always conserved, but the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian (energy observable) are not the same as (i.e. the Hamiltonian doesn't commute with) the particle number operators.
Well no they dont because they always come to be or start to exsist as a positive and a negative and when they clash they cese to exsist. There are some theories of how they can bend the rules a bit if they pop in to exsistance on the edge of a black holes horizon where on particle is pulled in by the black hole and the other escapes. But still the energy in the universe remains the same there is still a positive and a negative particle equaling 0 it is just that they have not annihilated each other.

Let's be clear about what is currently known.
The current theory of gravity, known as General Relativity, will produce a spacetime for anygiven collection of matter. So first of all, what is a spacetime? A spacetime is a four-dimensional shape, just as a sphere is a two dimensional shape or a cube is a three dimensional shape. However this shape has time built into it as one of its dimensions, so it behaves a little differently to normal shapes, however that doesn't really matter for now. What a spacetime describes is an entire history of a universe, the curves and contours in the shape, describethe paths objects take as they evolve in space and time. As human beings, we see these paths as gravitational orbits. In what follows _ means a subscript and:0 = time 1 = x-direction 2 = y-direction 3 = z-direction The next most important thing is the matter. This is described via an object called the Stress-Energy Tensor,T_uv (_ means subscript). T_uv looks like a matrix, such as this: T_00 T_01 T_02 T_03T_10 T_11 T_12 T_13 T_20 T_21 T_22 T_23 T_30 T_31 T_32 T_33 T_00 is the density of mass, amount of matter per volume T_10, T_20, T_30, are momentum per unit volume T_11, T_22, T_33, are pressure T_21, T_31, T_32, T_23, T_13, T_12, are shear stress. The kind of stress that rips things, orthe kind of stress that occurs when things rub off or flow over each other. T_01 T_02 T_03, are energy flux, for example heat conduction, the transfer of energy basically. G_uv is a geometric object, that tells you about the curvature of a spacetime. Basically youtake an arrow pointing in any direction. For example an arrow pointing in the y-direction: ^| then drag it along a square, with one side along the u direction and the other along they-direction. So for G_12, I'll drag the arrow along x and y directions. First I drag it along the x-direction:↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ then the y-direction:↑ ↑ ↑ ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ Then back along the x direction:↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ ↑ ↑ ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ and back down along the y-direction to complete the square. In a flat space, the arrow will align perfectly with how it started.In a curved space it won't, so this provides a measure of the curvature. G_12 is basically the difference or "gap" between arrow after it travels around the square and its original position. (An example is to be found here, for a sphere:The Riemann Curvature Tensor , just scroll down to the picture of a sphere and you'll see a vector being dragged along.) G_uv is this process for all squares you could try, a z/y-square for example. General Relativity says the following: G_uv = 8pi T_uv. So the change in the arrow is proportional to the amount numbers I gave at the beginning. For example, taking u = 1 and v = 2: G_12 = 8pi T_12 so in a spacetime, the change in the arrow after being dragged along the square I've described above is given by the amount of shearstress times 8pi. Specifically the shear stress coming from an object with momentum in the x-direction pushing against a plane of material lying in the y-direction. So the mass density, shear stress, momentum density and energy flux (e.g. heat flow) completely determine the curvature of the spacetime.If you know the curvature, you know the spacetime, so you have then figured out the spacetime. So, when we look at the night sky we see a roughly homogeneous cloud of gas on the largest scales. Of course it doesn't look like that to us,but on the largest scales that is what the universe looks like. So, we write down the T_uv matrix of a cloud of homogenous cloud of gas. Quite easy because a cloud of gas has no shear stress, so a lot of the terms are just zero. Then we use Einstein's equations to figure out the curvature. The result is a spacetime which gets smaller in space as you turn back time. The "Big Bang" spacetime, because when played forward, its early sections look like an explosion. When we apply this spacetime to our universe, with its particular collection of matter, it turns out the universe would have been about the size of a tennis ball about 13.7 billion years ago. Unfortunately we can't go any further back than this because the equation: G_uv = 8pi T_uv becomes unreliable. So that's it. I don't particularly see anything there that implies a creator god.

The key point is that quantum fluctuations do not violate the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is best to view quantum fluctuations and virtual particles as constant but they simply become observable at specific points as they move about.

That does not mean our universe does violate that law for all we know the energy of our universe is 0, or our universe has a counterpart and combined their energy value is 0.

A finite cannot contain an infinite. Science #101. And since the Universe is an endless series, it is not finite. Science 001.
The case in this thread is already vindicated the universe is finite, Wrong. You've declared that the universe if finite based on criteria that you've made up. We've given you examples of things which are infinite which you have not addressed. Your criticisms of the Universe are no more valid than criticisms of number sequences.
IMHO, there can be only one potential, possible exception: if another realm does exist, it will not contain anything which is already contained in this universe; nothing physical or corporeal. Thus none here would be able to percieve it. That makes your religion invalid, you realize that right?

Well, defeating philosophic arguments is not very hard and philosophic arguments are pretty much as worthless as philosophers in the first place.
This universe seems to have had a beginning but that is no more consistent with the idea of a creator God or Designer then it is with the idea of magic fairies or purple people eaters. There is no evidence of any god or designers while there is overwhelming evidence that causes are usually trivial, insignificant and transient. In addition, you made a series of unsupported assertions to begin your discussion which while unsupported and false, I accepted for this discussion. The point is that even IF the premises you presented were true, they provide no evidence to support any creator God or Designer.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I am happy to invite your scrutiny into the evidence and logic as I lay it out. Well, so far my scrutiny has consisted of asking you a question, which I shall restate: are there (conceivable) universes which would not be compatible with the idea that some omnipotent metaphysical being* wanted them to exist and be the way they are? Otherwise, you see, the observation that ours is one of the universes which is compatible in this way doesn't actually get us anywhere.
* I write "omnipotent metaphysical being" rather than "God" not because I'm addicted to circumlocution (though I am) but because according to many popular definitions of God our universe is not compatible with the God hypothesis, because of the Problem of Evil.

but it is too early to answer them at this point. So you want soooo bad to allow the option for a god, but you have no clue to what end? You have no clue what we would do with that information? You have no clue how that would advance our understanding of anything?"Why don't you call upon your God to strike me? Oh, I forgot it's because he's fake like Thor, so bite me" -Greydon Square

I should have said I mean a sphere the way it is talked about in mathematics, i.e. the surface
of a ball, not the whole ball. This is a two-dimensional curved object.

Simply stated — If there was a big bang, there has to be a Big Banger. And if there is a Big Banger, there has to be a Big Banger Factory, or whatever it is you want to call the thing that created the Big Banger. BTW, "Big Banger" was my nick-name back in High School.
