  A comment on Conversation: Religion or science?

  Jan 2 2012: I personally think it's a combination of both. The universe started with a Big bang caused by the collapse of a singularity...what came before the singularity? This is where, I believe, God comes in. But here's another theory. Right now the universe is expanding, but the galaxies are slowing down. Eventually they will stop and gravity will pull everything closer. The pull would become stronger and stronger as the other galaxies moved closer to the source of gravity, eventually resulting in the collision of everything. Gravity would push everything together, tighter and tighter until it is the size of a singularity. Then the singularity gets so small it ruptures and releases a massive amount of energy. Gasses from the past universe are released causing the creation of stars and planets known as a universe. Is that what happened to our universe and the past. But eventually we get to the beginning only to find that this singularity has come from nowhere, the only explanation is God.

• A reply on Conversation: What are the defining qualities of today's youth?

  Oct 16 2011: I feel as though my generation (being this generation) has potential, but the majority of us aren't mature enough yet.

• A reply on Conversation: What are the defining qualities of today's youth?

  Oct 16 2011: Perhaps at the time we are the most intelligent. But the next generation will be smarter because they have parents from the "smartest generation" hopefully teaching their children everything they know.

  A comment on Conversation: Who are you?

  Oct 16 2011: I think people look at me and think "Nerd". I like games, I'm good with computer, and am spectacular at math; so I guess that gives them every right to think that.To be honest, that's what I consider myself, but I don't dislike that I do.
