    Why It's HARD To Land on Mars

    So if they could land there in '76, surely that worked? Isn't science supposed to be repeatable? Isn't progress supposed to accumulate? I'm having that same feeling that I got when someone first pointed out that there was no blast-crater under the lunar module. I'd like to believe. I believe...

    Can any creationist tell me ...

    So you accept abiogenesis then? That the wonder of your consciousness arises due to a particular arrangement of mud?

    How do you Define God????

    If you compare two actions, one always has a better result than another, even if the difference is marginal. So if God eliminated all evil, even very small amounts of evil, we would be like robots always making perfect choices, in fact we would have no choice. So to allow small errors...

    Proof against black-holes

    tunneling is a verb, requiring time to be moving so that a particle may be in pre-tunnel; inside a 'tunnel'; and also be in post-tunnel phases. But the 'black-hole' stops time from operating, allegedly anyway; so the 'reputable' theory contradicts itself. My prime point being that according to...

    Jesus used dark energy to walk on water

    Well, the Jesus bit is semi-tongue-in-cheek speculation; I'm hoping others might be inspired to answer better than the opening post. The way I see it, for dark energy to overcome all the gravity in the universe, it must also be a force (in opposition to gravity); and thus it would have to be a...

    Evidence for an ancient earth

    38*10^10mm divided by 38 mm certainly does not yield a number starting with the digit 4 for the number of years for earth-moon separation, instead that would yield earth-moon separation of ~10 billion years. Estimates of age of moon and earth are geophysical, so its only the surfaces that...

    Is There a Cure for Metaphysical Dogma?

    Only if you consider time to be a physical entity; which I suppose that many people do. But not me. Physical mechanisms are reversible in time (supposedly), but it is only consciousness that apprehends time; it is our minds that are confined to temporal events. But you DID avoid the question...

    Is There a Cure for Metaphysical Dogma?

    Aah. But which came first? The world or the self - or both together. If you answer: 'the world' - its physicalism, and all else will be labelled supernatural whether you like the label or not. Sooner or later the fence is a very uncomfortable place for the philosopher to sit. (Now who said that...

    Is There a Cure for Metaphysical Dogma?

    Metaphysical Truth: Dualism. Mind is quite distinct from Material. The purest logic comes from the keenest minds. The universe is underpinned by impeccable logic, (math) thus it originated in the perfect mind: God (Thanks Aquinas & Plato) My own thesis comes to me from direct contact with...

    Science vs. Gnosis

    I was about to start a thread on 'The Logos' when I saw this thread. I see it that Gnosis and Logos are verb and noun of the same concept. It seems to me that scholastic science has no appreciation of how the laws of nature are uncovered by the Theistic theorist being part of the living...

    Evidence for an ancient earth

    So we are informed that the moon recedes from the Earth at 38 mm per year, and that the moon is (conveniently) 380 000 km from the Earth. So lets see some arithmetic: How long ago did the moon and Earth separate?

    Is there limit of Knowledge?

    Aah, but if God knows all, then God must also know: not-knowing. So to also know what not-knowing is, God must choose to not-know some events. Just because God CAN know everything, does not mean that he DOES know everything.

    Liberal Christians I need some things cleared up

    How can we really know of those who were killed by those people, who is innocent and did not deserve to die? I actually played a bit-part in the pursuit of Bin Laden, and felt he was certainly in need of capture/elimination. It was not a decision taken lightly to partake in a man-hunt, however...

    Proof against black-holes

    The only objective verifiable evidence, is that the LIGO group detected a wave-form that was a force that was propagated at the velocity of light. This is that wave-form. What force caused the LIGO detector to oscillate is a matter of theory and logic. The most astounding analysis in...

    Proof against black-holes

    The Standard model is a cataclysmic event. Note this quote from the mainstream article in the link: The 'pair of black-holes' are said to emit the waveform due to them being a binary system, that is why the orbital frequency of the pair dictates the 75 Hz. That is a gross conflation of: the...

    Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God

    Sure. Most people that call themselves Christians do so because of family tradition. These are termed sacramentarians, its like the difference between a band that plays covers of Jimi Hendrix, and then the real musician. This difference between the clone and the authentic is surely evident in...

    Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God

    Suffering of a purely psychological nature, eventually leads one to realize that we trap ourselves into that suffering by our own beliefs. So the result is that we then transcend such superstition and liberate our minds from the limits we have allowed ourselves to be tricked into holding.

    Jesus used dark energy to walk on water

    So then how is it that the entire universe, at its origin, did not stay eternally as a big dull blob, held together by gravity? *Speculation permitted*
