Why not?

If you snuck up on your food, would it taste different due to the element of surprise?
Yes, if it is still living. So Ramen will always taste crappy without flavor packets.

When was time invented?

Time was invented by the human mind.
Why are we here?

Scientiffically, it's because in a conversation the human body wants to imitate what another person is doing. If you see someone laugh, yawn, sneeze, etc, you almost always do it also.

Sorry to be such a killjoy.

Sometimes, not as much though. It is with some people. I'll try.

How does Buzz Lightyear go "to infinity and beyond", when infinity is not any given point?

It never was invented. It has existed always.

According to the Big Bang theory, time was nonexistent beforehand.

Here's one, how did the Big Bang come into existence?

The Big Bang came into existence via the Big Crunch.

Here's one that's gonna get me flammed. If suicide is a crime against Heaven and the punishment is Hell, then shouldn't God go to Hell by virtue of the willingness of the Son to die, since the Son is one part of God?

The Big Bang came into existence via the Big Crunch.

If that were true, why is our universe continually accelerating? :)

It is still expanding due to leftover energy from the Big Bang. This leaves theorists with three possible outcomes to the universe: The Big Crunch, where gravity pulls everything back together; equal balance, where gravity and the leftover energy balance out; or the Big Rip, where the energy is too much for Gravity and all the atoms eventually rip themselves apart.

If the Universe is all that there is, then what is it expanding into? There has to be a space for it to grow, then what is it?

It is creating time and matter as it expands

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

According to some theorists with general relativity, space and time can be converted. Losing time to time dilation can "create" new space. And my point was, if the Big Crunch was a possible outcome, our universe's expansion should be slowing down because of all the mass in it, creating gravity. But it isn't.

****And the answer can't be "A woodchuck would chuck all the wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood." I want a rate. Ex. pounds/hour

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

As far as we know its not possible to create matter out of nothing

And here's something to blow your mind: According to quantum physics, we are empty space. 90% of an atom is empty space between the nucleus and the electron cloud. As nothing exists between the electron cloud and the nucleus, technically, we don't exist.
