^ Exactly!

(In simple terms) Is time a fundamental law or is it merely our preception of all of the actual fundamental laws of the universe as they interact?

A lot of research out there points more to the seocnd then the first. As uncomfortable as it may seem/feel.

So maybe there is no beginning and end, because time is a human concept not a natural concept.

More critically though, knowing what is a 'wrong theory' (focusing on creationism here, not 'belief' itself) does not mean you know what is the 'correct theory'.

Science is merely the on going search for the 'correct theory'.

Relgion consists of a bunch of 'wrong theories' that people long ago made up because they lacked the ability and know how to look for the 'correct theory'.

One can disprove religion(s) as a wrong theory without knowing the perfect theory just as one can know that the LA Kings (Or NY Knicks or Manchester United for that matter) WILL NOT win the Stanley Cup while not knowing who will win it. A scientific based examination though could narrow it down to both the 'mathmatically possible' and 'most likely', etc.

A die hard LA Kings fan could argue until he blue in the face that LA will win the Stanley Cup, and while cute, we all know he would be just as wrong now as he will be in 8 months.
