Talk:Alexander Vilenkin

- did Edge copy this article or was it the other way around?

- Is Alexander Vilenkin related to N. Ja. Vilenkin (who did pioneering work on special functions and Lie groups)?

William Lane Craig
This guy (Alex Vilienkin) has become famous because Wiliam Lane Craig is using him to justify his Kalam Cosmological Argument - i.e. that no matter how many universes there are, including the multiverse, it must have a "beginning". Apparently, even Alex Vilenkin thinks that this is untrue, because there is different applicability. Sounds like someone came toa conclusion and didn't like it too much because of their theological belief...??? Anyway, Wiliam Lane Craig should be included in this article, because this is how Alex Vilenkin has "any" relevance to modern society - otherwise, I doubt he'd have a Wikipedia page ;) 182.255.99.214 (talk) 06:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Or else it's like including an article on Wikipedia about Barack Obama but ignoring his presidency... 182.255.99.214 (talk) 06:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Most of Vilenkin's articles are about a universe "out of nothing" even though he is a so-called "physicist" so I agree with this - Craig must be included 2001:8003:6A23:2C00:C854:CEBC:2ED0:EAFB (talk) 12:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Anti-semetic
Why does this article say that Vilenkin is "Jewish" yet says that he believes the universe came out of nothing. That seems a bit anti-semetic... 2001:8003:6A23:2C00:C854:CEBC:2ED0:EAFB (talk) 12:08, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
