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.


I'd use agnostic for that - "a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God."

It's more accurate than atheist and much less likely to conjure up images of what some call "militant atheists". Peace. :)

They call what the universe expanded from a singularity, and tell us it's smaller than the period on this page. One theory is that the expansion accelerates into a "Big Rip" and the universe is torn apart, the other is we slow, reverse and collapse back into a singularity. Either way the universe ends.

And we're doing this from contemplating what we can see, and math.
