The "theory" of creation is not a theory. It's a hypothesis, as is "scientific 
creationism".

Not really. It's as meaningless as asking what's north of the North Pole.

And here I thought that "The Big Bang Theory" was a funny sitcom?  Damn...
where have I been all this time?   Maybe since I wasn't around to witness it
happening, it didn't really happen, and this is just my own reality, that
you guys happen to be a part of, in my subconscious?

Besides, are we not just all part of "The Matrix" ?   (what's even more
funny, is that I drive a Toyota Matrix... WEIRD)

The "theory" of creation is not a theory. It's a hypothesis, as is "scientific 
creationism".


From Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:

Hypothesis - Synonyms: theory, proposition, supposition, thesis

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypothesis


Thus before the big bang
is perfectly valid whether we could perceive it or not.


Not really. It's as meaningless as asking what's north of the North Pole.


No, this is a false analogy. Again from Merriam-Webster:

north pole: the northernmost point of the earth

As such, by definition there can be no further north than the north 
pole. No such equivalent exists for the big bang event. Beginning of the 
universe? YES. Beginning of time? NO!


Given the discussion, I think the following is in order: BAZINGA * 2

Thank you, I won't be here all day!

Cheers,
Rob.

Totally since deity constructors only started to exist after the second
generation of stars formed since the advent of hadronic life.

> But none of this has anything even vaguely related to PHP.

Sure it does, the origins of the universe for Linux is January 1st, 1970,
just as it is for PHP epoc time. Time for Unix didn't exist prior to that
since there was no prior. People who *think* they were born before 1970
are mistaken.

To further prove my point, try searching for any reference to PHP prior to
January 1st, 1970. It does not exist.

It's a question of asking what existed before anything existed, though.
The answer is not even "nothing" since nothing is something.

There's also something bizarre and ironic in having Unix and Windows-based
epoc sidereal time firmly rooted in a non-event that didn't happen over 41
years ago. The irony is that Unix epoc time wraps the supposed Mithratic
Jesus birth date which also didn't happen, our computers are delusional
but also logical -- amusing.

This whole PHP thing about epoc time is amusing since there remains the
question of what frame of reference the first second of Unix time is
predicated upon. January 1st 1970 has no reality, it was never real, it
was an abritrary symbol etched in to Unix to reference how many vibrations
of an atom excited by a cessium rubidium maser in Goldstone, Colorado
there has been since an arbitrary frame of reference.

That's an interesting point. If you stand at the North Pole where all
lines of reference converge, there is still Galactic North and True North
if one's reference frame is Magnetic North. There are no privelaged frames
of references UNLESS there is only ONE singular frame of reference.

The Big Bang is a singularity event, there were no reference points in
existance until the Big Bang, ergo you're so right, even saying "before
the Big Bang" isn't even wrong. :)
