The flood.
THE FLOOD AND SANTA CLAUS Want me to prove to you that Santa is real? Just give me enough arbitrary assumptions, i.e. assumptions made only for the purpose of answering objections to your hypothesis, and it is a piece of cake. For example, you might say that nobody sees his workshop at the... -
The flood.
Water is a fairly common molecule in the solar system, found, for example, in many comets, so the straight forward answer is that water was part of the original material of earth as it condensed from the dust clouds surrounding the early sun. Venus and Mercury were too hot to retain their water... -
The flood.
All religions have tales that have to be essentially taken on blind faith or re-interpreted as poetical license. Islam, for example, has the mountain moving to Mohammed, and Hinduism has its re-incarnations stories. Christianity has its share with the Noah tale being a prime example. More... -
The flood.
The Bible is not a science book. The writers were not writing research articles to be published in Scientific American. When the Book of Job talks about YHWH shaking the 'pillars' of the earth, this is poetry, not science. IMHO, one can miss the deeper meaning meaning of the text if you try to... -
The flood.
No, the layers of rock support the the accepted scientific geological time-scale, as does the types of fossils found in each layer. You will not find, for example, trilobyte fossils with rabbit fossils. However, this discussion probably belongs in the science forum. Not in my Bible. Where in... -
[_ Old Earth _] Does Atheism Make People Smarter?
Einstein quote: "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." However, back to the OP...- Physicist

The flood.
First, lets deal with the scientific issue. There is NO credible scientific evidence for a universal flood four thousand years ago and overwhelming evidence that it did not happen. You have to presume that all modern physics, geology, meteorology, archeology and biology are wrong to believe... -
[_ Old Earth _] BANG!
My standard nitpicks We also have the background radiation discovery that won Penzias and Wilson the Nobel Prize. This is the leftover radiation from the BB. First, we live in a 4 dimensional space-time continuum (or 10 dimensional if String Theory is correct). There is no 'edge' to the...- Physicist

The Emptiness of Atheism
Genesis is poetry, not science. Its description does not match current scientific thinking about the origin of earth and life upon it. I find it interesting that Muslims make the same claim that you do for the accuracy of the Quranic 'earth origin' tales. As an outsider, I find both claims... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
Astronomical is the number of stars and planets in the Universe. Yes, it's unlikely that we are here but it is not unlikely that life would appear somewhere. Consider the lottery. It is unlikely that a particular person wins, but not unlikely that someone, somewhere, will win. However, Rick W... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
Noted. My apologies. A vice of old professors is that we sometimes tend to ramble off topic if the subject looks interesting. -
The Emptiness of Atheism
Certainly religion has inspired scientific inquiry by some individuals. Gellman labeled his quark model 'the eight-fold way' after Buddhist terminology. Nor can we rule out that new models of the Universe will replace our existing ideas. History tells us that this is almost inevitable. However... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
scientific skepticism Here is where one has to exercise his/her scientific skepticism. Sometimes, scientific claims are not substantiated by peer review. Remember polywater, cold fusion, and Martian fossils, to name a few. I am not familiar with this journal but the article said the claim was... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
I think we have to realize that the OT writers were more poet than scientist and we need take their language in the figurative, rather than literal, sense. Thus Job speaks about the earth hanging on nothing while at the same time talking about the pillars that hold it up ( Job, Chapter 38)... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
Aristotlean physics has been replaced We have learned a lot about the natural world since Thomas Aquinas. We don't use Aristotlean physics any more. Aristotle (and Aquinas) thought that if you didn't have a force on an object, it would stop. He was wrong, as Newton demonstrated. As near as we... -
Catholicism & Islam: Ties That Bind
Both religions (I would throw the Mormon's into this mix) encourage large families and impede birth control in one fashion or another. Dawkins introduced the ideas of memes and memeplexes to describe collections of ideas that have self-propagating features to them, in analogy to genes... -
What is Biblical Faith?
Question As a physicist, I have believe that Maxwell's equations will describe common electromagnetic phenomena. This is based upon the logical structure of their derivation from existing laws and countless experiments that have verified them. I would not say that I have 'faith' in Maxwell's... -
The Emptiness of Atheism
Actually, atheism simply refers to a LACK of belief in God(s). It says nothing about what the person does believe and, in fact, the worldviews of atheists are quite varied. To illustrate this point, suppose we group people into two categories, those that like broccoli and those that don't. If... -
[_ Old Earth _] Was Jesus an ape?
The non-science community seems to have difficulty understanding Darwin's Theory. They latch on to the random mutation component but neglect the major role of natural selection. I have developed a simple example to illustrate the power of a selection rule like natural selection. Suppose you ask...- Physicist

***THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE***(cosmology)
Your replies to my posts. At what time did the Universe not exist? Remember, time before the BB is as meaningless as temperature below absolute zero. No, no more than the Planck scale, as a singularity in spatial scale, affects our concepts of infinite spatial dimension. I have made no...
