That's like saying it's more logical to presume that I always existed rather than my parents suddenly decided to create me. Anyway, the current consensus among the scientists is that the universe suddenly popped into existence in a Big Bang. We Christians agree.

This is a picture of photons being emitted in a coherent beam from a laser.
I don't dispute that light exists. What I dispute is that light consists of photons. If light is made of particles, then why can a prism bend it as if light were a wave? If you have a picture of a single photon, I'd love to see it, but a picture of a light illuminating some smoke proves nothing about the composition of light.

Quote:
The laws of thermodynamics suggest that there is in fact no point of creation and that the universe has always existed. Before you try and say that this idea is stupid, do not forget that you believe God has always existed.
Again, both the religious and the scientists agree that the universe has not always existed. Only you seem to believe that it's always been here.

You are no doubt referring to the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that no energy can be created or destroyed. That was determined by experiments that all took place within the last 150 years, so they have no validity whatsoever to the moment of creation.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that disorder (entropy) always increases. If that law is true, and the universe has an infinite age, then at some point in time (call it T) there must have been no entropy whatsoever. But that means that there must have been no increase in entropy from any earlier time to time T, so the Second Law could not be correct! If anything, termodynamics proves that the universe was created. You might want to read up on the subject before you go around making a fool of yourself talking about it.

As for God, since He is omnipotent, laws of thermodynamics do not apply to Him. In fact, those laws were also His creations.

Quote:
When I hook a lightbulb up to an electrical circuit and switch the circuit on, provided there are no faults in the circuit and there is an adequate power source connected, the light bulb will light up. That is not God creating light, that is the light bulb creating light.
God does not create light every time you flip a switch. God created light in Genesis 1:3. Your lightbulb merely liberates the light that He already created, which was hiding in the lightbulb all along. It's like a wayward heifer--you poke it with a cattle prod, and the electrical shock will cause it to move. That's also why lightbulbs burn out--there is a limited supply hiding in the bulb, and once that's depleted, no more light. A light bulb no more creates light than a cattle prod creates cattle.

Quote:
If I build a brick house with no windows and go inside, it will be dark. When I open the door, and it is light outside, light will come in.
Quote:
It is more logical just to accept that the sun casts light. The sun is made of gas going through continous reactions.
That's not more logical at all. The fact that light shines into your house when you opent the door has nothing whatsoever to do with how that light was created. Just like a lightbulb, the Sun releases light that God placed inside it. See Genesis 1:14-16:

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day...

Quote:
We can observe gas going through a reaction and producing light by looking at fire. Can we look at God producing light? Can we go up to heaven and find god playing with his giant flashlight? Of course not.
Where in Genesis does it say God has a giant flashlight? That is the logical fallacy of the straw man--you put words in our mouths that we never uttered, then shoot them down. God created the light in the beginning, and he created the processes in the Sun and in wood that release that light for our use. He doesn't wait for you to open your door to create the light.

Quote:
Where exactly is the edge of the world? Has anyone ever seen it? Do you know anyone who has fallen over the edge?
What do you think explains all of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances? I'm sure it's been seen, but if you get close enough to see it, you'll get sucked over the edge by the falling water and atmosphere. So nobody who has seen it has lived to tell the tale.

Quote:
I have seen it. In a Disney film.
Ridicule is another logical fallacy; you can't win an argument with ridicule around here.

Quote:
How can we prove the Earth is round? Simple logic, maths and of course going into space and actually looking at it. When Mars comes enough close to Earth, we are able to see it with the naked eye and it is round.
We are able to see Mars with the naked eye at all times except when it is behind the Earth, the Moon, or the Sun, not just when it is "close enough." The astronomers all say that, too. Only you seem not to believe that.

Quote:
Mars is a planet, just as Earth is.
You have no proof of that (in fact, Mars is a star, as clearly described in Genesis). Anyway, again you raise a non-sequitur. Whether Mars is round or not has nothing to do with whether Earth is round. Mars has no liquid water on its surface. Does that mean that there are no oceans on the Earth?

Quote:
When you look through a telescope, you can see the other planets, which are also round.
This is very simple: most celestial objects are round, that doesn't mean that the Earth is round. You can claim optical illusions all you want, but we can observe with our own eyes that light simply does not bend enough to create an illusion of that magnitude.[/quote]Of course you can't--what you see with your own eyes has been bent, so it isn't the true shape. That's why it's an optical illusion. We had to wait for Einstein before we understood the true nature of light. If you want to prove that light can't bend that much, then please show us the relativistic differential equations to prove it.

If God had fixed the position of the Moon relative to the Sun, then there would be no phases of the Moon, so there would be no calendars, so how would the ancient men have known when to plant their crops?

Quote:

You seem to use an awful lot of non-sensical analogies in your arguments. Don't you have any direct evidence to substantiate your claims?

So, Sacha, how's that list of papers on global warming coming along? I'm looking forward to our informed, scientific debate.

It's always good to ask questions, but I don't think we should rush to throw out the flat Earth hypothesis. Many of my parishioners in the Unitarian Universalist church are flat-Earthers, and I think we can all gain something in our own quests for spiritual knowledge by looking at the world in a way that radically differs from our preconceived notions.

According to one of my congregants, who is a well respected theoretical physicist, there is considerable evidence (based on the thermodymics of black holes) that the universe is indeed two dimensional, with the third dimension serving merely as an illusion. This is known as the holographic principle, and plays an important role in many formulations of string theory. I wouldn't dismiss the Biblical view of a 2D universe as silly when many of the world's top physicists consider it to be a very real possibility.

Considering your’ location Starkinggrad that parishioner of yours' most likely works for Lawrence Livermore National Lab on nuclear weapons. I am curious why you would even allow a man like that in your precious Berkley Unitarian Church? If I recall correctly his job is against the law there, Berkeley being a nuclear free zone and all that (that issue came up when I was transporting a bottle of Thoruim for our mission their San Fransisco. Had a bit of a nasty time of it with a Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy)



Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

An excellent question. He works at the less well known Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a lovely facility on the University of California, Berkeley campus overlooking the Bay that is devoted to peaceful energy research, including some excellent work in renewable energy. There are also many professors and students from Cal Berkeley in our congretation. I'm not aware of any members who work at Lawrence Livermore, but we do not enforce particular political views on our congregants. We prefer encouraging them to moderate their warmongering views using gentle persuasion, candlelight vigils, and setting good examples.

The City of Berkeley is, indeed, a nuclear free zone, and I'm proud to say that my congregation played a large role in that (though it was before my time here).

Why was your mission was transporting thorium? On second thought, I don't think I want to know.

just wondering if you could explain the holographic principle in more detail, i couldn't get much out of the wiki site, as I have not yet take an elementary physics class, so much of the terminology went over my head.

So if the water falls over the edge, where does it go? and how do the oceans stay at the same level?
for if an earthquake happened, wouldn't that send more water over the edge due to the force of the earth on the water and thereby decrease the water level until the water reappears, however you explain that.

Now, son, I’ve read this thread from end to end and I’ve come to the conclusion that you have fewer brain cells that a dyslexic jelly-fish.

I looked to help you with your search for your “question about light” and I saw a whole bunch of illuminating answers. There is an excellent post by Brother Ahimaaz Smith, who has more patience than I and a deep knowledge of these things, and who shows you the Truth, The Way and The Light.



Why you can’t just see that your questions are those of the cracked pitcher going to the well, I’ll probably never know.

However, you seem still to be in the darkness… I’m beginning to think you are just a wilful retard with a good spell-checker… and I will have an attempt to explain in far simpler terms.

You seem big on stars (or you think you are). See out there, there is roughly an infinite number of stars. Now if each star were only just emitting a small amount of light, as there are infinite stars, the sky at night would be bright as day – solidly filled with stars. Does your wandering, gibbering suppositions based on hearsay and irrelevant science explain that?

But, God created day and night and the moon to rule the night and, although comparatively only as bright as your brain, the night is a bit brighter than the “darkness that was upon the face of the earth.”

Now if God has decided to make it night (which he created) in Australia and day (which he created) in America (which he created), then that’s a matter for him.



Either you can take Brother Ahimaaz Smith’s faultless True Christian™ reasoning or you can just say that, as water is wet and the desert is not, it is night in Australia and Day in America. Either is good as neither contradicts the Bible.

Anyway, why do you want to go poking your nose into the ineffable mind of The Almighty, The Lord of Hosts? He’s told you all you ever need to know in The Bible (KJV).

Oh and on the question of The Sun Ruling the Day and The Moon ruling the Night and yet the moon being visible in daylight – The Queen of Britain, by the Grace of God, rules Britain and The King of The Norway, by the Grace of God, rules Norway… do you think for one moment that if the King of Norway came to Britain he would become invisible?


Amen

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.


God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave.

Your mouth will be too filled with Satan's barbed tallywhacker to even try to scoff. Besides, you will be too busy begging for mercy between anal gang-rapings by Satan & his minions to even think about us, playing badminton with Jesus and sipping wine coolers in the shade of the Tree of Knowledge.

There are two schools of thought on this: First, the water gets recycled by God into the waters in the sky (you know, the ones that make the sky blue, see Genesis 1:7), then fall upon the Earth as rain or dew. Second, the water goes into the fountains of the great deep (see Genesis 7:11), which slowly let the water back into the seas. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

and how do the oceans stay at the same level?
Who said the oceans stay at the same level? I never saw that in the Bible. The oceans have currents, so obviously they are higher in some places than in others. Similarly, ocean levels change as the tides change.

Quote:
if an earthquake happened, wouldn't that send more water over the edge due to the force of the earth on the water and thereby decrease the water level until the water reappears
Yes. Earthquakes in the seas cause tsunamis, which increase the amount of water flowing over the edge at any given time. This is why tsunamis eventually stop--if the oceans were a closed system, with no outlet, then each tsunami would continue zipping across the oceans basins forever. You have to understand, though, that the amount of water in a tsunami is small compared to the total volume of water in the oceans, so a little extra water going over the edge does not dramatically affect sea levels worldwide.

I can't explain it, since my degree is in theology, not physics. I asked a physicist in my congregation to give me a two to three sentence summary, and here's what he said (like most physicists, he took more than three sentences, but that's true of theologians as well, so I won't complain):

In physics, we understand the world around us in terms of mathematical models. For example, we can write an equation that tells us how much energy is required to stop a car of a certain weight going at a certain speed, and we can use this to design brakes for automobiles.

Mathematically, objects in three dimensions can be described by equations in just two dimensions through a process called projection. It's difficult to show exactly what this means without graphs and equations, but think of it as something like your shadow--it is a two dimensional representation on the surface of the Earth of a three dimensional object (you).

A hologram is a two dimensional image that looks like a three dimensional object. If you haven't seen one, look at the funny colored sticker on most credit cards. It's obviously flat, but the object looks like it has depth, too. A hologram of an object tells you a lot more about the object than that object's shadow does. This is, in essence, the holographic principle--it says that all of the information needed to describe a three-dimensional world can be condensed into just two dimensions.

To be clear, I'm not saying that we can take one of our dimensions and throw it out the window (i.e., the holographic principle does not say that east and west and north and south are real, but up and down are illusions). If the principle is true, then the "real" two dimensions are constructed in a very different manner than east/west, north/south, and up/down.

One trend in modern physics is to think of our universe as containing not space, time, matter, and energy, but rather information (remember, physics is about building mathematical models of the real world, and information is something that can be described easily with math). If that concept is correct, then there really could be no difference between a three-dimensional object and its two-dimensional holographic projection, so we could say that the third dimension really is just an illusion.

Is the holographic principle true? It's hard to say. We certainly don't have a full-blown model of the universe that can be described holographically. On the other hand, theoretical results from the study of black holes (objects that are so massive that even light cannot escape their gravity) indicate that the information content of a black hole is proportional to the surface area of that black hole, rather to than the black hole's volume. That's a tough concept to grasp--if I told you that a balloon filled with water weighs exactly the same balloon filled to the same size with air, you'd (quite rightly) think I was crazy--but there are very good reasons to believe that's exactly the way black holes behave with respect to information.

Why does this matter? On a superficial level, it doesn't--we experience the universe in three dimensions, and if it's really just a two dimensional universe of information that appears to us to be a three dimensional universe of matter and energy, what difference does that make to us? It is important to physicists, however, since it turns out that many calculations are much easier to do when we think of information in two dimensions rather than matter and energy in three dimensions. Moreover, the holographic principle is our best explanation of the way black holes work--but if it's true for black holes, it has to be true for the rest of the universe, too, including you and me.

Let me add that there is currently no experimental evidence directly saying that ours is "really" a two dimensional world. There is a chance that, once the Large Hadron Collider in Europe begins operations this year, experiments will help us to see whether holographic models stand up. At the same time, there is no evidence today that would disprove the holographic principle.

In summary, it may truly be that we live in a holographic universe, and we cannot abandon the hypothesis out of hand, but it would not be accurate to say that our universe has been proved to be holographic. One dominant lesson from physics in the last 100 years or so is that the way universe really works is usually far stranger than we imagine, and, any way you look at it, the holographic principle is strange.

There seems to be an awful lot of laughing at other people's imagined future pain going on around here. Wouldn't it be better to think of how you will rejoice when someone else finds the path to a fulfilling life, however you might personally define that (that goes for the "True Christians," too)?

Hey uh.. you guys should know that I have unfalsifiable proof the earth is round. My Uncle, Jeffrey Williams, (Kyle M. Williams typing to you now) was on the space shuttle Atlantis back in 2000. He actually showed me pictures taken from just inside the shuttle (you could see the rim of the port hole) of the earth, they were orbiting when it was taken. (really nice pictures too! )

As I don't have a scanner, I can't upload them, but I assure you from the looks of them, and the from what billions of people , more unfalsifiable proof, say, and of course thousands of scientists, the earth is in fact, round. Sorry. We have the technology now to view what our planet looks like. After all, if the earth was flat, how could satellites orbit? Or ISS for that matter.

Only fools, Atheists, Cathewlics, Democrats, Communists, Muslims and colored Negros would believe that the Earth is round! Ha ha ha...such heressy! Why, if the Earth were round, then Christopher Columbus' ships would have fallen off the edge when they got there during the voyages of discovery in the name of our lord. Silly people, next thing you know, they'll be claiming that man has landed on the moon...

That was a funny joke, I liked it and there is some seeming truth to it.

and truth be told, I really have been taking everyone's word that the earth is round.

that leaves so many unanswered questions though
