So you're saying time and space weren't created, or what? [Case] The Big Bang theory asserts that space and time came into existence at that instant. The only serious challenges to this view have come from within physics itself. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
