  If the multiverse theory is true, then there was never a true beginning of everything, and there will never be and end. And since it's not possible for there to be a beginning with this theory, then it also means that it's not possible that the 4 forces were created, because the 4 forces allowed universes to form, and the timeline can go in infinity in either direction, so they must have just been always there. No exceptions, no nothing.

  I believe that Science is mankind's revelation or realization of the world around us.
  Think about how many times science has changed! Atomic Theory is an excellent example.
  
  It's natural for human beings try their best to understand the laws that surround us. That's what science is all about.
  Laws were present he moment the universe was created, not when human beings discovered them. People didn't always know about gravity.
  
  As for getting something out of nothing ... I believe it would technically be thermodynamically "improbable" since it would have to be a process requiring high entropy (randomness). Even if you got something to be created, you can't compare that something to the complexity of not only our Earth, but our universe.

  Also known as Strong Nuclear Force.

  
  
  Funny you should mention Strong Nuclear Force.
  Look at the diagram carefully and tell me whats wrong with it.
  
  If you guessed that there are two particles with positive charge being attracted to each other, you are correct.
  Like charges attract, whereas opposites repel. We know that due to observations with magnets.
  It is a known scientific fact!
  
  But at the atomic level, protons are held together in the nucleus - when in reality they should repel!
  So? What do scientists do with this discrepancy? They call it "Strong Nuclear Force" and claim that charges can differ from the macroscopic and atomic level!
  (How does that stance agree with the nature of chemical reactions? O_O)
  
  Strong Nuclear Force cannot be measured nor quantized. Yet, there it is. Being taught as Science. I learned about it in AP Chemistry. But likewise a belief in God is crazy. Just crazy.

  Well the sun will eventually explode and everything in our solar system will probably be destroyed and all of mankind will be wiped out unless we somehow come up with the technology to move to a distant planet with its own atmosphere and three states of water with a similar star to the sun to provide heat and light.
  
  Yeah we're all dead, anyways. Who cares?

  We have 4.6 billion years to come up with that technology. If we don't have it by that time, we DESERVE to die.

  Assuming we don't wipe each other out with wars beforehand, or just use up all the fossil fuels, since at this moment, green power wouldn't be enough to compensate for the loss. There's so many ways humanity could die off it's not even funny.
  ..maybe a little funny.

  And if we survive that war! The next war will probably be over pure water, like the drinkable type. :>

  Yeah, asia's really suffering in that regard, it's way too crowded...
  Bottled water is so bad for the environment, too, but....
  /totally guilty of only drinking bottled water

  You should buy those Brita water distillers thingies. We have those.

  ^ This. They actually work quite wonderfully Kazuni and you would save yourself money in the long run.

  Lol.. I actually had quite a few of those.
  
  We used to have one with a spout, like one of those water cooler things without the cooler. I would refill my plastic bottles.
  Now we have a filtering jug, but I don't use it. The spout is too wide to refill bottles efficiently and I don't like water in cups/mugs. I like a cap on my water and I like the feeling of clear, thin plastic better than any thick plastic water bottle. Most water bottles have a strange smell, anyway.
  
  The only time I drink out of cups is when we're absolutely out of bottled water (almost never), and when I drink juice/coffee/tea.
  
  I like to spend time in my room and I drink a lot of water, so it's easier to have lots of bottles by my bedside than having to run for water each time. Plus, I live in a very busy area, on a busy street, so it's kind of dusty..

  I actually don't like the taste of water from water bottles tbh.
  
  Some brands have this weird taste that makes me go "Ugh, no gusta I wish I had water from my house."

  Yeah, I'm actually really really picky about water brands too, lmao.
  
  I only drink kirkland (costco) or purelife (nestle). I tried this one called arrowhead or arrowroot once, and it had this weird sweet/sour taste. Funny story about that one, my dad actually went to the states and told me to try american bottled water, but it turns out that it's from a Canadian spring not too far from here.
  
  Also..
  Religious beliefs -> bottled water??
