***THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE***(cosmology)
Perhaps you should study the modern concept of space-time. If you do, you will understand that, according to the General Theory of Relativity, it is a property of the Universe. Hence, irregardless of whether the clocks on earth or alpha centauri agree, there is no 'time or place when/where the... -
***THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE***(cosmology)
No, the Universe has existed for all time because time only exists as a property of the Universe, You have not shown that the Universe needs a Creation device. As an analogy, the ancients used to wonder what held up the Earth. The correct answer was nothing. It is a meaningless question since... -
[_ Old Earth _] The Age Of Earth
This does indeed sound like HRG's hypothesis that his cat created the Universe last Thursday. I cannot prove that what we take as Reality isn't simply a computer program like the movie, "The Matrix". However, by applying Occam's Razor, we need to describe Reality as we presently observe it and...- Physicist

[_ Old Earth _] The Age Of Earth
What science does What scientists actually do is attempt to find relationships between observed phenomena.These relationships are then used to predict expected behavior of objective reality. A set of relationships may be combined into Laws or Theories, as, for example, Newton's Laws or...- Physicist

***THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE***(cosmology)
Better answer, by Occam's razor, is that nothing created the Universe. We know, at least, that it exists. Therefore, as long as we are speculating, we might as well take the simplest speculation. If you create an additional entity, say God, the Invisible Pink Unicorn, or space alien from... -
***THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE***(cosmology)
The protons (and other hadrons) formed when the Universe had cooled sufficiently for quarks to stably combine. The Universe may itself be part of a larger system called the multiverse. There are tests that are not practical to perform at present, but possible in principle, that will determine... -
contradictions in the bible
Re: A fair challenge Dear Panin, I assume that you are aware that Mathematician Brenden Mckay showed that amazing numerical patterns can be found in the book" Moby Dick" or any other long text. The mathematics behind this is complicated to explain, but, rest assured, that there is nothing... -
Can God's Existence be Proven through Science?
Simpler is better In physics, simpler explanations are generally better. While Newton's Laws or epicycles can predict to a high degree of accuracy the motions of the planets, Newton's Laws are far simpler and have more predictive power. Upon occasion, scientists will propose some new... -
contradictions in the bible
Arbitrary assumptions Virtually any textual discrepancy can be reconciled if the reconciler is allowed to use additional arbitrary assumptions, i.e. assumptions that have no external justification and are only made for the purpose of patching the conflict. For example, suppose there is a hit... -
How wrong is the KJV
Considering the date of the date of the original KJV (1611), I think it is an amazingly accurate translation. Some newer translations seek to re-write the words for what can only be called political correctness. The KJV translators did not do this. Of course, we have additional textual research... -
Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS
Perhaps a trip to the library Your conclusions are in disagreement with the world's scientific community. Why is that? These men and women have spent their lives researching and studying the natural world. Do you think they are stupid and don't see what you claim to be true? Is there some... -
Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS
Re: geography I guess I am back to Occam' razor (who, I agree, was a Christian). My hypothesis is that spiritual experiences are natural phenomena overlayed with cultural interpretations. This requires presuming no additional forces or entities. It can also be tested by, for example... -

Atheist Dialog 1: Euthyphro Dilemma
Re: Judge Judy Consider Deuteronomy 20:13-14. However, we are getting off topic here. Why is morality as decreed by YHWH objective but morality as decreed by Judge Judy subjective? It seems to me that they are both subjective, Granted, one has more power, but are we then to conclude that... -
Atheist Dialog 1: Euthyphro Dilemma
Judge Judy But it still is totally arbitrary. YHWH is all-powerful according to Christian dogma, so what you are saying is that 'might makes right.' We have to follow YHWH's whim and declare it good because he has the biggest stick. This makes your moral system completely subjective... -
Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS
pragmatically not true I think we started with naturalism, i.e. a minimal assumptions world view. If you would like to get into details, I recommend Harbours " Intelligent Person's Guide to Atheism'. What I stated was that naturalism works, as opposed to, say, Christian theology, that leads... -
Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS
Re: Why do Atheists not believe? Naturalism is the pragmatic choice. I cannot prove that the world is not an illusion, and we are simply brains in a vat run by computers, like the movie, Matrix. However, the pragmatic option is to take the world as it is with as few axioms as necessary... -
The Literal Bible and Evolution
Mathematical physics While I am not a biologist, I have taught probability theory and can therefore claim some expertise in disagreeing with your above statement. First, I should probably point out that ambiogenesis is not part of the evolution of species, explained by Darwin's Theory of... -
Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS
Re: Why do Atheists not believe? All Christians are atheists, when it comes to Vishnu, Thor, Allah etc. In fact, the only difference between them and atheists is that the atheists add one more god, YHWH, to the pile of non-belief. Why do you reject Allah? Historical, literary, and... -
a question about Jesus???
I would say a more accurate statement would be that different NT author's describe Jesus differently. The Mark gospel has him as a man transformed by the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:10) into the Son of God but definitely the lesser to YHWH ( Mark 10:18). Paul and John paint a more Gnostic Jesus...
