    As is 'something' as is everything as Einstein theorized. Now ask yourself.....Relative to what? Can you see where this is going?

    The problem with the Martian atmosphere is that it's equivalent to Earth's at 100,000 feet. So even with a supersonic parachute there might be a very real problem of having enough air pressure to slow down the payload, especially at high speeds.

    Frankly, I don't know it it works or not. It just seems illogical to me.

    Maybe they will come out with some star pictures. If you notice they never have shown any, either from the moon or from Mars. I never have seen any. Maybe someone can post a link to some. I'll appreciate that.

    It would have been great to have seem those zombies in Jerusalem and Jesus walking on water. A lot of people believe those things happened. I don't.

    Can you visualize nothing in space? If you were at the edge of the universe what would you see? Could you even comprehend it? That would be the most awesome sight ever. Everything behind you and nothing at all in front of you. Not even an atom of any kind. But what would nothing look like? Would it have any color? Would it even be black?

    Nah, I'm pretty sure Western religion is just as good at understanding the sky fairy.

    does it make anymore sense to say there was nothing, that eventually created a God and that God Created us?

    Is that true? Isn't the cyclic or bouncing universe scenario just one possibility? It's convenient for atheists, since they can postpone indefinitely the how and why questions and say the universe has always been there.

    God is not needed to explain anything with or without the cyclic universe or the many theories floating around.

    So God created the universe? That's cute. Who created God?

    Who created the nothingness that just exploded the universe into existence without any reason?

    Your argument is moot.
