The term 'event horizon' is most often heard in reference to black holes and the concept is this: The gravitational pull of a black hole eventually becomes so great that nothing escapes the pull - light, etc. Beyond the event horizon, it becomes impossible to measure or detect anything further. What's more, nothing that happens beyond the horizon can affect anything outside the horizon - so you can't even deduce indirectly what might go on in there. By definition, it's impossible to know anything about the universe beyond that horizon - as far as science is concerned, it may as well not exist. The event horizon concept applies to more than black holes, though. It also applies to the big bang for instance. In science, the big bang is considered the 'start' of the universe and also an event horizon. Science does not speculate on what happened to cause the big bang, or where the big bang came from because there cannot be any evidence of anything before that point. God is another event horizon. If you set out to prove God's existence, you first have to demonstrate evidence of God's existence and you cannot do so because God (Christian-like God anyway) stands outside the rules of the universe - it created the universe and all the rules, and therefore can't be a part of such. You can't disprove God either for the same reasons. You can argue that the world appears more than 5000 years old and there is more evidence for evolution than creation, but these can be refuted simply by stating the God set it up that way because that's the way God wanted it - it doesn't matter if it makes sense to us. This is why people who invoke both God and science in the same thread are wasting their silly time. It isn't that God and science can't co-exist, it's that faith (in god) and science have no relationship. So can the God vs. science crap already folks - it's a black box. (beg, beg, beg, beg)
