Davis,

The only way I could imagine that the universe is “done”; would be (and some scientists do have interesting arguments to back this up); if another big bang was to occur. But this would be more of a reset; than a state of completion in this case.

I’m curious to know however; what you are defining as “completion”. What exactly makes the universe complete? I think that like biological beings; the universe itself evolves, changes and adapts in its own way.

Completion and universe dont belong in the same sentence as there is no reason to consider te universe as some project.

It is actually you who mentioned completion…not me.

The way I’ve looked at this for some time is that when anything is in the process of design; there are going to be problems until completion.

So judging by how you have explained away the epic failures in the design and order in the universe…it seems as though you think they are inevitable kinks in the process…until some completion arrives. But the only completion you can think of is another big bang. So…all of these flaws in the design are part of a process leading up to another big bang?
