What is your alternative to "poof, instant world"? Can you give us a beginning of the universe scenario that doesn't sound nuts? It doesn't matter if you leave God in or out of the picture, it always sounds nuts because reality IS nuts.

If you went to the circus and saw a man pouring wine from a bottle that never ran out wouldn't you wonder where all that wine was coming from? You see the equation e=mc squared all over the place but have you ever really thought about it's implications? Where did all the e come from? And since c is a constant, e and m are interchangable. Is that not nuts?

Do you believe the moon is there when you're not looking at it? Because science says it's not. Poof, instant moon. People need to at least try to wrap their minds around some basics such as Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation instead of just scratching the surface before they give up and say "it's hard - just too hard to think about these things - i'll just make up my own reality instead - and it's going to be composed only of what my senses can detect."

It would have been the same had Kerry won - he was just using a different set of fears to motivate his base.
