@GabeLakmann @CatLord @BowsacNoodle Besides obviously making a negative claim unashamedly It really betrays the midwittery of modern scientists, assuming that they can make metaphysical judgements from a completely material and physical perspective. The question "why is there something rather than nothing" doesn't even enter the equation. They'll just mechanically describe the theories of universal genesis like a computer defining the hue and saturation values of a the colours in a beautiful painting when asked to describe it, completely missing the point.
