Piers Morgan has been having deep thoughts and the entire universe owned him
Piers Morgan has been having deep thoughts about the beginning of time and the existence of a higher power, that sort of thing.
Atheists can never say what was there before the Big Bang.
They just say 'nothing' but they can't explain what 'nothing' actually is.
No human brain can, which is why I believe in something that has superior powers to the human brain.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 1, 2018
Bit late for a mid-life crisis, but it comes to us all.
If he hoped it would prompt a debate than it certainly got one. Just not necessarily the one he’d have wanted.

My average intelligence 11-year-old would ask: then what came before *that* superior something? A more superior something? If theism is your answer to “what came before the Big Bang?”, then you need an infinite Russian doll of ever superior gods. https://t.co/TwrmGylxjS

Before the Big Bang was the teaser trailer for the universe where Jupiter did a backflip on a unicycle while Sabotage by Beastie Boys booms out of the speakers. https://t.co/ErOVexflfW

Just to go on the record, I, too, believe there are powers in the universe superior to Piers' brain https://t.co/MmevTGGvuv

“Science can’t explain this yet, therefore God exists” is the lamest premise in the history of humanity. It’s fallen down hundreds of times over centuries of science. But hey, maybe this is the one. https://t.co/R4LX55wtNs

What we need here is someone like Brian Cox. Oh, hang on …
If you mean the Hot Big Bang then there may have been a period of rapid expansion before known as inflation. This theory is able to account for observed features of the universe, including the CMB power spectrum and the flatness and horizon problems.
— Brian Cox (@ProfBrianCox) July 1, 2018
Of course, inflation was before the hot big bang (reheating) but inflation is not geodesicaly complete, so we still have a beginning, right?

I’d say the answer to that is we don’t know. Remember the theorems you refer to are classical. Until we understand quantum gravity there isn’t much we can say. The full stop is important.
— Brian Cox (@ProfBrianCox) July 1, 2018
OK, but that still doesn’t explain what ‘nothing’ is? What was there before ‘inflation’? https://t.co/xKLLME41Tp
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 2, 2018
We don’t know. The universe might be eternal, there may be no beginning. We need (at least) a quantum theory of gravity. But the laws of Nature as we understand them today are compatible with the Universe simply existing. Why is there something rather than nothing? Why not?

At least Ricky Gervais didn’t get involved. Oh.
We are on a rock travelling around 1 of 100 billion stars. Our species is 1 of over half a billion that have ever existed. Our chances of being born are about 1 in 400 trillion.

Atheism, per se, makes no claims. I wrote this to help clarify that seemingly odd statement. pic.twitter.com/0VFTYIYRgi

So what was there before nothing? https://t.co/7yFaqdAdwg
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 1, 2018
I don't know. https://t.co/zatCA08OOT
— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) July 1, 2018
Yet you KNOW it doesn't involve a God… https://t.co/Xoemo7EKrX
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 1, 2018
Nope. I simply have no reason to believe it does. https://t.co/dWyjeiVZRL

Then this happened.
If there's superior being. Can you explain why it allowed/s the atrocities human suffering,disaster in the world . With a multitude of religions all preying to God which one is right who is the right/real god ? Sorry mate i go with the scientific explanation @gmb @piersmorgan https://t.co/JsTNoCvljf
