Why do you say that?

And, perhaps, more importantly, why does the answer to that question matter?

Aww, c'mon, really??

Why even post if you've got THAT attitude?

God and his host of angels continue to build, reorganise, destroy galaxies all over the universe. Nobody knows the extent of the universe. The universe is the domain of God and if God is eternal then the universe must also be eternal.

Without ever really giving it a lot of thought, I think I always considered it eternal in size. God creating it could have been endless or not; it would have been whatever He wanted. The Big Bang with Einstein, Hubble, and Hawking I have to conclude it started expanding at the start; therefore, it had to have a leading edge of its expansion. Since it has a leading-edge, it is finite not eternal no matter how large it is; it isn't endless. In comparison to God, it is not much different than us, the eternal one looking at something else finite. So God managing it no longer looks to me anyway as tremendously difficult thing for God to do, in addition to that looking at any part of it with interest, not something that can be judged by size within the universe either.

Like a said just a thought.

What is gained by conjuring up a 'religious' answer - i.e. a superstition-based answer - to a scientific question? What traction does such an "answer" have beyond the traction it has with people who agree with it?
