To God Or Not To God.

Posted by Alexander on July 5, 2001 18:06:04 UTC

Once again, if you are familiar with the origin of natural laws (physics), you do not need god(s),devil(s), etc.

For anyone else, Santa Claus the Creator, or Allah the good ruler, or Satan the bad one, or Jesus the peacemaker, or even Zeus the thundermaker is JUST FINE.

After all, most people on Earth are NOT physics educated, moreover - even some physicists are not educated enough about fundamentals.

So, just stick to most convenient for you explanation of why, say, Sun crosses the sky - whether it is Ra pushing it, or God telling it to do so, or rotating Earth.

After all - who cares?

        Not exaclty. - motumos - July 6, 2001 - 04:03 UTC
        
        I agree with you on the level of complexity - stormcrow - July 6, 2001 - 04:17 UTC

        I see your point, but doesn't this prove the Bible's ambiguity? - stormcrow - July 9, 2001 - 19:31 UTC
        
        Doens't prove the bible's ambiguity - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 20:16 UTC

        Caprinicus - you don't know how brain, universe, etc works. - alexander - July 9, 2001 - 18:43 UTC
        
        Here's the difference - aurino - July 6, 2001 - 13:55 UTC

  - Energy conservation is an observed regularity of nature (nt) - harvey1 - July 6, 2001 - 14:05 UTC
    - So, you answered your question. - alexander - July 6, 2001 - 17:16 UTC
      - So - harvey1 - July 6, 2001 - 22:45 UTC

        re: Universes that pop out of math books - harvey1 - July 9, 2001 - 22:26 UTC
        
        On a small scale universe is quantum (i.e, everything fluctuates - alexander - July 10, 2001 - 18:38 UTC
        
        Hmmm... - harvey1 - July 10, 2001 - 20:16 UTC

        Please explain - harvey1 - July 10, 2001 - 20:37 UTC

        Gods hiding in tons of smoke and evils behind every mirror. - alexander - July 11, 2001 - 18:50 UTC
        
        God doesn't need to hide - harvey1 - July 11, 2001 - 21:03 UTC

        On Plank's constant! - doctordick - July 12, 2001 - 19:30 UTC
        
        I do not understand - yanniru - July 12, 2001 - 21:35 UTC
        
        Do the problem! - doctordick - July 12, 2001 - 23:17 UTC

        To Harv, - doctordick - July 17, 2001 - 19:31 UTC
        
        Why are you not credible with those who know math? - yanniru - July 18, 2001 - 12:00 UTC
        
        I am not sure what you mean. - doctordick - July 18, 2001 - 14:02 UTC
        
        I look at your assumptions - yanniru - July 19, 2001 - 12:20 UTC
