Rather than focusing on cosmological questions, I think what truly interests you is whether the universe could really have no purpose. Do I have that right?

Re: Kind of.
Your Message 3 is a pretty good starting point all by itself. I'll fix this up and promote it. I'll hide your Message 1 content, but you can still see it with peek so you can feed it into the discussion as appropriate.

A Few Brief Comments
To those who know who you are: Let's quit with the wise-ass comments.
​
To ChristianJuggalo: While you don't have to accept current cosmological theory, there are some here at this forum who understand cosmology very well. There is an opportunity here to gain a much better understanding of things like the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe then you had when you started. It doesn't hurt to learn what the theories actually say.
​
To everyone: This thread is actually going very well for one tearing along at breakneck speed. Congrats to all!

If we could nip this sub-discussion here that'd be nice.
