According to Publishers Weekly, Charles claims, "Scientists...now know how the universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of science, even towering above the deciphering of the human genome." A brave statement! Charles is happy to answer your questions about ongoing research that is busily revealing the basic nature of life, the universe, and everything in a serious (as opposed to humorous) sense, so ask away. One question per post, please. We'll post the answers as soon as we get them beck.

Instead misuse the tools of real science to attempt to portray religious doctrine as scientific, abuse the term theory by ignoring the extensive proven underpinnings of real science to which the term is applicable. It's fascinating after all. And isn't that the important part?
Look you can ridicule "Intelligent Design" or the existence of God all you like. The truth is, there are significant problems with Evolution as it is currently reported. The fact is, Evolution is a system of faith just as Creationism. Fundementalists have distorted the idea of "faith." All faith is is simply the belief in the preponderance of evidence. It's a belief that the evidence points to a given conclusion. Evolutionists, clergy, you, me, scientists, physicists, we all live with a system of faith or even systems of faith. It just sounds more chic to say "You Creationists bet everything on faith." Well, guess what....we all do! >
If i sound annoyed by the grand statements by these over confident intellectuals it's because I am.
I would be extremely happy if present and near future science theories could never predict what happened before the big inflation.
And how the hell do you figure out what exactly happened when we can't even determine all the particles that make up the universe.
Pure egotistical horseshit that reminds of a commment a scientist made once that said science will be finished and done with in just a few years and we will know everything there is to know. The scientist said that in the 1800's. Reference was made in Steven Hawkings book.
The Bible sez it will end in fire.
/.ers will burn in hell for moding this down!
