@ Nathaniel: I agree with Bowles. Genesis is symbolic. :3 (My two cents worth) @ Bowles: How do you revive someone? D: |

Well, you know when someone has a heart attack, or for some other reason, their heart stops. They are clinically dead. Then someone gives them CPR, or gives them a quick electric shock, and their heart restarts, they are alive! Genesis, and the bible, IMO was written by humans. Not to mention its been copied thousands of times, so there are bound to be errors. |

Out-of-body experiences: Some people saw gates, some a tunnel and a white light, some just whiteness or blackness. It's subconcious - what you expect to see. A day to God is millions of years. Yeah, most believable explanation. 'Everything in science has to be repeated to be true' - there's only one of me. But seriously, the Big Bang only happened once.

Its impossible to know anything about the big crunch, its even mroe than a theory than the Big Bang. But it would seem nice if everything repeats itself. As for Sentynel, hes generally a clever person *waits for cookie* |

The big crunch is only one of three possible outcomes to the universe, and is looking more and more unlikely as time goes on. The three possibles are: 1) The Big Rip. Everything accelerates away from everything else faster and faster until even quarks are ripped apart. 2) Stabilises. The amount of matter and energy in the universe is just right for everything to stop accelerating apart, but not start accelerating together again. 3) The Big Crunch. The Universe is heavy enough that it collapses under its own gravity. At the moment, it looks most like option 1 or 2, depending on who you believe. As to why I'm knowledgable or stuff? I haven't a clue where I get a lot of it from. *throws foliots disguised as cookies at Gladstone* |

Other variations include IMHO, in my humble opinion, and IMAO, in my arrogant opinion. |

But seriously, the Big Bang only happened once. ^ How do you know that? I happen to believe that the Universe has been created and destroyed innumerous times. Maybe that's a belief born of ignorance, but I happen to think the Universe has been recycled over and over, maybe compressing into a singularity then exploding. Whatever. Like I've said, these topics are worthless because it's merely speculation. As for the gates thing, that's either true, it's the subconscious, or it's a publicity stunt. |

Because the Big Bang being able to happen more than once relies on a Big Crunch, which as I said is looking very unlikely. It's looking unlikely because of the fact that acceleration away from us is speeding up. Of course, that isn't absolute fact, it's the current theory. Only one Big Bang has been observed though, so my point stands even if the universe is recycling itself. |

...And if the Big Crunch comes and then the Big Bang all over again then nobody would be able to prove it because they'd be dead and we'll get back where we started. |

Coming back to the out-of-body thing, how does that happen in a controled environment, like are scientist killing people and bringing them back to life. I read a book once about a girl with ESP. She could leave her body at will. |

Somebody is in hospital, being monitored by lots of instruments, as you are when you're badly ill. Instruments show they're clinically dead. Then they get revived. That's a pretty controlled environment. As for the girl with ESP. Can't be proved in any way. |
