    I answered your question in a number of ways. We are limited creatures, attempting to figure how we got here. Science admits that from the beginning, stating clearly that nothing it claims is ever certain. We are always learning and always proving earlier theories false. There is no way out of that. Scripture agrees, as when Moses asked to see God and God shows him his backside.

    I’m not going to defend Krauss’ use of the word ā€œnothingā€. It does not fit with my daily use of the word. But Krauss and physicists aren’t writing papers for me anymore than I could look at a blueprint of a skyscraper and comment its terms. But I will go up in a 100 story elevator, because I trust the process. It’s not arbitrary. It’s not a roll of the dice. It’s trust based knowledge of the process of engineering. Do you know what I’m talking about?
