Yet Again
The unanswered question remains; what properties of space render space capable of connecting the two ends of an absolute straight unbended bar?
On the scale of the Universe "straight" is a relative term just as "level" is on the scale of any significant portion of a planet's surface. (In the case of the Earth, more then about five acres or about 150 linear meters.) Nonobservant people tend to believe that a level line is also straight. And if one pays extra-special attention one can observer that a straight line isn't straight either. You need to expand your understanding of the meaning of straight.
To directly answer your question, again: Space is curved. For a line to be straight it must follow the curve.
AbE: Sorry, NN, didn't see you there.

When I was young I loved everything about cigarettes: the smell, the taste, the feel . everything. Now that I’m older I’ve had a change of heart. Want to see the scar?

Warning: Do Not Eat Buzsaw's Chicken Stew.
My straight bar model does not have to be level.
When your father told you about the birds and the bees did you go out into the barn and do anything to the chickens, or did you understand that analogy?

My Hypothesis
A Japanese beauty jealous of a rival in the Emperor's court hired a Korean circus troop to train a trio of acrobatic sun bares to prevent the rocks from making it to the bottom of the hill. She did this to discredit a 7th century mayor of an adjoining town who once, when accused of dipping into the treasury, said "If I am guilty let rocks roll only half way down a hill." Her motive being that if she discredit this mayor his Great-great-greatgreat grandson would be so humiliated that he would shed a tear, which would be collected by by his nurse and delivered to the apothecary who would use it to make a love potion that would be administered to said rival. The rival would fall in love with the shamed descendant, moving away from the court to wed and live in seclusion forever.
I would hope, Daniel4140, that you would not find my hypothesis very scientific. Nevertheless, this hypothesis is better then the God acts hypothesis that you present. Why? Because no individual element of my theory is beyond investigation or reason.
  • Are there Japanese beauties?
    Most certainly.
  • Could she have a rival?
    Most certainly.
  • Could she be jealous of this rival?
    Most certainly.
  • Are there Korean circuses for hire?
    Most certainly.
  • Can sun bears be trained?
    Most certainly.
  • Could I go on?
    Dare me.
I have not provide a stick of evidence that the elements came together, but at lease I can provide evidence that the elements exist.
Can you do as much for yours?

Genesis 2
17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness.
18 And we all live happily ever after.
