Something cannot come from nothing.  It is impossible for time to have begun. Time is a measure of change. Any thing that would be claimed to have started time had to have time.  The universe is everything that exists. By this definition, there is no such thing as outside/beyond the universe; ergo, there is no supernatural. The Big Bang is not the beginning of the universe. In cosmology the Big Bang is a model of the initial conditions and metamorphosis of the area of the universe that we exist in. The first sentence in the bible, "Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth", is a presupposition. A presupposition, as in this case, is the implicit assumption that something theists call god exists. Truth is the actual state of a matter and conforms to fact or reality. A fact is knowledge or information based on real occurrences. It is something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. Since god has not been proven to exist and no evidence of god has been exhibited, god is not a fact and since the entire bible is based on Gen. 1:1, the bible is not the truth. Therefore, the bible is a work of fiction as are all other ”holy” books. ______________ Cannabis / Marijuana (and other street drugs) Have Been Linked to Significant Increases in a Person's Risk for Schizophrenia http://www.schizophrenia.com/prevention/streetdrugs.html Excessive Brain Volume Loss Over Time in Cannabis-Using First-Episode Schizophrenia Patients  - http://tinyurl.com/yfh65ed Also http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/marijuana.html and http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/substance_abuse/hic_marijuana.aspx To compare alcohol with pot is a categorical error and a false analogy-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
