We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

You have been given numerous examples of the scientific reasons for a belief that the beginning of our time is part of this universe. You refuse to accept physical

Beep beep, back up the truck. You can't have it both ways. Either God is trapped in our timeline or He is not. I maintain He is not. Are you now agreeing with me?
