  1. we can't even predict the weather 24 hours in advance with certainty. The arrogance and foolhardiness of thinking that we can predict the behaviour the universe, especially when there are at least 5 poorly understood forces at play (quantum physics, dark matter, dark energy, pressure and time), is nothing short of farcical.

  2.  @disregardthat  Ah massive pedantry nice. Feel better now? Except I was using the word as in "something acting upon or influencing." And no, my point was not remotely disingenuous. My point was, there are so many factors influencing weather, some of which are still completely not understood, yet someone is going to tell me about events trillions of years in the future with factors not even REMOTELY understood. And no, pressure is noT well understood - it is only understood at the narrow range of pressures that we encounter. Even exotic high pressure experiments act on such minute scales as to be of dubious value on large scales. Our "comprehension" of the universe is proven to be wrong on a monthly basis, so how about showing a little humility of that fact, and admitting that this is just one possible theory, like the bounce theory, oir a curved universe or 25 dimensions.
