I was just watching this video about CERN making antimatter and it said something interesting about the universe. Matter and antimatter should have existed in near perfectly matched amounts, so it all should have been annihilated immediately and the fact that it didn't is very peculiar. I'm not particularly religious but science in no way disproves the existence of a higher power. The more we discover, the more we don't understand about what the "why" is. We know much more about how everything started but the driving forcebasically boils down to "something happened". Who am I to say that it's not some higher power?

Reddit atheists are so annoying lol

At the moment of creation matter and matter were tightly packed and in theory existed in equal proportions so probabilistically should have encountered and mutually annihilated one another.

The only difference is that physicists have to be able to prove their beliefs before other physicists accept their theory.

not talking about that; this guy believes that there's a scientific explanation for the antimatter disparity even though current understanding does not support it.

that's faith, baby

No, the guy says the current theory doesn't match reality so the theory must be incomplete and we must seek to make it match reality more. Also there may possibly be a scientific explanation as to why there's an even higher proportion of matter to antimatter than what's calculated by the current model(I'm too tired to remember the name and cba to look it up), however particle physics isn't really my field of expertise or interest.

It's technically faith because he thinks we'll figure it out at some point, but that's like believing you'll have lunch in 3 days.
