Does it have to say "Some scientists, particularly atheists"? It seems a little silly. There are many religious people, scientists included, who believe in an old universe. I would really like to remove the "particularly atheists" phrase, but considering the [[User:Aschlafly|source]] owns this site, I feel I should discuss it here first.

I don't think this is an appropriate page. Linking to Wikipedia is A: Not really credible and B: Sort of against this site's mantra.--Elamdri 01:47, 12 March 2007 (EDT)
- What is unclear is whether it is only everything that is material, or if it also includes such immaterial concepts as Heaven and hell. While the universe is apparently very large and very old, this might merely be an illusion, created to make life interesting, and to perhaps distract us from spiritual pursuits by filling our minds with material concerns.
- Thanks, user:Ed Poor, for quoting here what you removed that I once typed in the article. Maybe it was bit over the top? Human 22:15, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
