"A woman who has a baby in her stomach does not have the right to kill it before it is born because it is her own dang fault!"
I would like to point out that a woman who has a "baby" in her stomach is already in the process of digesting it though the stomach's protein-digesting enzymes and strong acids.
Since 2 is defined as 1 + 1 (at least in base 3 and above), 2 != 1. If 1 = 2, then mathematics would fall apart because everything would equal everything else. Example: 666 = 1337 (which may or may not be true ;) ).
Proof by contradiction:
1 = 2
1 + 1 = 2 + 1
2 = 3
Since 1 = 2,
1 = 2 = 3
Repeat:
1 = 2
1 + 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 + 1
3 = 4
Since 1 = 2 and 2 = 3,
1 = 2 = 3 = 4
and so on.
You can also go in the negative direction:
1 = 2
1 - 1 = 2 - 1
0 = 1
However, 0 is defined as 0 + x = x and 1 is defined as 1x = x by the existence of 0 and 1 axiom. Therefore, if you try to substitute 0 for 1 or 1 for 0, you get contradictions: 1 + x = x and 0x = x. Since an axiom cannot and must not be contradicted, 1 != 2.
"Look at the British Colonial empire — the most magnificent empire that the world ever saw. The old Spanish boast that the sun never set in their dominions, has been more truly realised amongst ourselves." - Sir Henry Ward, 1839
You cannot assume the universe will collapse upon itself again into a singularity. Current understanding of the universe dictates that the universe will expand indefinitely, causing the density of matter and energy to asymptotically approach zero, hence the death of the universe.
Your theory lacks a mechanism to cause the universe to contract after the aforementioned period of expansion. Scientists have already concluded that the force of gravity has been overcome by the mysterious force accelerating the expansion of the universe, which had led to the general acceptance that our universe will die a cold and dark death.
'God' is a concept, authority and/or symbol conceived by humans to explain extraordinary events, to unite and control people to work towards common goals, and/or to act as the perfect role-model whose qualities and/or actions are to be duplicated to the best of the abilities of the worshipping practitioner.
God(s) is/are everywhere and nowhere as the idea of him/her/it/them is/are ingrained in the human mind, yet nonexistent in the natural world. The average human being will not be able to interact directly with (a) God with absolute certainty that what he/she is 'interacting' with is actually God; instead, most humans must place faith in the words of a minority who truly believe they can interact directly with God.
The idea of God(s) is fed and reinforced perpetually by various cultural forces and the inability of individuals to comprehend bizarre, marvelous and/or inconceivable phenomena on a regular basis. However, as science has progressed evermore to explain a staggering number of natural phenomena, especially those once classified as 'miracles', human belief in God has been dwindling increasingly.
Ultimately, no one can be certain of what God truly is because, like the ideas in a novel, there can be many interpretations of the same ideas that were devised by other fellow humans. Unless humans today are able to interrogate the many people who originally spread the various ideas of 'God', we may never know what each of the hundreds of known Gods truly are.
