The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What is the word for someone who has no opinion on whether or not there is a creator.

If you aren't actively a theist, by most definitions you are "a-theist".

If the universe didn't exist, we wouldn't be here to contemplate it. (The Anthropic Principle) I do agree that Event One is fantastic, whatever it was. I suspect that someday we'll know. We're still collecting data and doing math.

the total universe is probably much bigger than we can see by several times

Almost certainly. Due to expansion, numerous objects 'disappear' from view every year. The speed of the expansion causes them to be unviewable. Which is a weird concept, but that's what appears to be happening.

Learn to live and thrive amid the confusion? Ok!

Good attitude. That's really all we can do anyway. But we are curious creatures, and we will continue to strive for understanding. I like knowing the latest thinking about such matters, even if it doesn't affect my daily life.
