The Origin of the First Light In the Universe

StartsWithABang writes Before there were planets, galaxies, or even stars in the Universe, there really was light. We see that light, left over today, in the form of the Cosmic Microwave Background, or the remnant glow from the Big Bang. But these photons outnumber the matter in our Universe by more than a-billion-to-one, and are the most numerous thing around. So where did they first come from? Science has the answer.

Don't fall into the trap. The sky has always been falling on our heads, whether it be foreign invaders, disease, nuclear war, the youth of today, asteroid strike, climate change, alien invasion etc. If one thing is constant throughout history it's that somehow there always seems to be a threat of sudden extinction, and when it's found to be overblown we simply find something else to replace it with. Sure one of them has to be right sooner or later, but worrying about it won't help

It worked, I have no faith in him what so ever. Frankly he's a right prick. Ooh, lets test those parents faith by giving their new born child some hideously painful cancer. It's ok though because their baby will live forever up in heaven and it's worth it to cause all that pain on the offhand chance one of its parents makes the grade.

I'd be a better god than that jack ass. If he really does exist I want nothing to do with him and given half the chance I'd beat the shit out of him when I saw him.

If God were to stop it, and supposedly he could, it would mean that he would have to override the consequences of what are supposedly freely willed human decisions, making the very point of giving us free will in the first place moot.

As you say.... you can't have it both ways. Either we are free willed or not...
