UM, you don't seem to be listening anymore. We'd appreciate if you also put more effort into your responses, and explain or elaborate like we have. |

And there are other sentient beings in this universe besides humans. Even without humans there is still consciousness. So even if humans died off, there would still be a Universe conscious of itself. The Universe has consciousness, in animals, plants, etc. And some believe as I do that all matter and even space/time is made of a field of consciousness that manifests as energy and matter. I know that science has not proven much in regards to this yet, but it is still a viable hypothesis that science is researching and learning about. |

It's not a matter of "fuzzy understanding"--what we take for reality, particularly our experience of time, is founded upon and driven by a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on here. Independent of our delusion of time and specific, exclusive events, the universe is complete and nothing is happening. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

Perhaps we can look at this another way. The materialist model of reality is grounded in observation, is it not? One must observe a phenomenon in order to study it scientifically. Therefore, this perspective is fundamentally tied to the act of observation. How then do you propose to study "the universe" defined by a lack of observation? To say, "I am going to scientifically study the universe as it is in the absense of an observer" is absurd. It can't be done. |

That question is a great one, because it illustrates the point perfectly. Why try to find out what time it is? The only reason is because it is useful when operating in a consensus reality. Knowing the time is useless unless it is a time that is accepted by other people. |

A theory is not just an idea. Scientists have very strong and supported theories about what things were like before there were humans and before there were any organisms. |

Perhaps you could dream that scientists have figured out that the big bang happened 3.5 million years ago but that 'objective' reality is dependent on the dreamer who dreams it up. |

I am glad I finally tripped you out! Lol |

Haha! "If there are no observers, the "big bang happened abput 13.5 billion years ago!" Very good! |

And our growing understanding of the universe is actually creating the knowledge that we understand. The universe was created long ago, but it is still being created, even in our mind. |

You didn't ask your question until I read it? I think you posted it while I was at Wal-Mart. |
