...Created in Gods image? Can we create a universe?
If man can create a black hole then inadvertently or intentionally a white hole may be created. White hole mathematics (inverted black hole mathematics) indicate infinite energy and support the "Big Bang" theory.
If it were possible for man to create a black hole and its inverse a white hole (and a possible explosion of infinite energy) would that not mean that man can create a universe? What are the religious implications?
@Docjp -- Rather than answering an unanswerable question I defer to E=MC^2 and M=E(C^2) which indicates that matter and energy can be derived from each other. Spiritual energy is not part of this equation. :-D
@godless -- From your own resources "The physicist and cosmologist Alan Guth of MIT has put forth the scientific theory, called Inflation, that the Big Bang was just the result of a random quantum event called a vacuum fluctuation" -- still a theory. To be honest I believe that definitive proof of a "white hole" is probably about 15 years down the road, very much like black holes were thought to be imaginary 15 years ago. http://io9.com/5805202/mysterious-cosmic-explosion-might-be-first-ever-proof-of-white-holes (I expected something bigger than a gamma ray burst however...disappointing)
