Isn't it funny how creationists seem to know more about how the universe could and couldn't have come into existence than physicists?

    It's not a matter of who knows more. It's a matter of truth as opposed to knowledge.

    If the universe had come into existence through a "standing wave" or other natural phenomenon, there would be roughly equal amounts of matter and antimatter in existence.  So yes, it is funny -- almost as funny and the increasingly improbably theories physicists have to come up with to be able to continue pretending there is no God.

    Yeah, it's funny the way a train wreck is funny; not really that funny.

    My guess is that it prior to about the 1960s when most scientists embraced the "steady state theory" of the universe where it had no beginning or end, they too thought YECs "funny" for thinking they knew better than them because they instead believed the universe had a beginning (Gen 1:1).  Back then, you probably would have been laughing at the YECs too.

    Well, no surprise for YECs, now mainstream scientists have shifted their thinking closer to the biblical narrative, and thus concede that in fact the universe did have a beginning.  I'll admit, scientists can be "funny".

    Yes, let them watch one Hovind video and they're convinced they know more than a doctoral level scientist who has been working in the field for 30 years.

    They don't know more, they think they know more.  Big difference between knowledge and fantasy.
