enter der Hindus and their Pantheism.
basically they claim there was no big-bang. things have always been, and always will be. that differs from the various strains of western theology of course.
in other words, no beginning and no end. sounds kinda like "God" to me? no?
but who are those pantheistic hindus, and why is there such animosity between them and the monotheistic muslims?
and if the earth collided with another planet, would the overall cosmos skip a beat and then keep on ticking?
