Insane.

If you take any religilous book like the Bible or Koran, and removed every copy from the Earth, it would never be re-written.

Because it was written from the imagination of extraordinary individuals.

If you took every science book and removed every copy from the Earth, it may take 100 years, but they would be re written exactly the same.

God is a concept.

And a fine one you will make.

If someone is hearing god, then there is a chance they are suffering paranoid schizophrenia or doing LSD.

Religion is a concept. You can follow it, but you should not be hallucinating about it.

Science on the other hand is built around repeatable facts.

Stick with Engineering. You will do fine.

This is plainly ridiculous. You probably think religion is just a cult of stupid people running around with a book, but its much more than that. While it's true that there are plenty of people who just say they're christian to "fit in" and don't actually care about religion, it's also true that there are plenty of people that are honestly devoted to their faith and would work hard to preserve it even if the costs were high. If that means rewriting the bible from memory, so be it. Obviously the wording would not be exactly the same because human memory is imperfect, but there are plenty of people who are knowledgeable enough to rewrite a part of the bible essentially accurately, and we'd just combine knowledge and we could probably get most of it down, although it might read more like an extended summary of the original text than the actual original text. And in any case, I imagine that we wouldn't be forced to search our memories, as in such a dire situation, it is perfectly plausible that god would simply choose to unilaterally create new copies of the bible.

You missed my point.

If we remove every bible from the planet and give all the Christian knowledge time to pass away.

Then we have a new generation of people with no knowledge of Christianity. The bible cannot be rewritten from scratch.

But a science text book can.

I am not saying religion is a bad thing. But god is a concept to help deal with the fundamental lack of knowledge that humans possess in ancient times.

There is a creator of the Universe. Yes.

Clearly time did not exist before the big bang or whatever theory you want to agree on for the start of the show.

Time started somewhere. Time can not be rewound infinitely backwards.

That means there was nothing, then there was a ripple in the fabric of the space time continuum and space came into being. Once you have space, then time can begin.

So yes, you are right.

Something created the Universe.
