Sherlock, when you said,

We therefore have a very obvious contradiction and therefore have to accept that no scientific theory or explanation can exist.

I took that to mean we can’t have any scientific theories about anything, since they all ultimately rest on some assumption. But you clarified,

I did not say that at all, nowhere did I say that science has no use, only that the universe itself is ultimately inexplicable scientifically.

So, fine. I’ve conceded that point several times. Given that we have theories that go beyond our cause/effect observed universe, I hold out some hope that we might be able to figure it out, but you might well be right. And people who do this every day agree with you. They keep trying, but they admit they might not ever figure it out. From the time you arrived here, this has been a trivial point that doesn’t add anything to what we already know. But somehow you think you are telling us something we don’t know.

Do you agree that even if we never explain the origin of the universe, there is still a lot to know? There are still many things to discover, possibly other parallel universes or ways to travel our universe through wormholes, or who knows?
