The two aren't exclusive of each other. I have a physicist cousin who is devout... and I'm guessing he knows more about science and more about the bible than you and I combined.

You know what devout means. And yes, he's completely devout. Of course you would question that because it doesn't fit in with your particular view. But it's possible to be both religious AND intelligent.

Like I've said lots of times before, I have no problem with your beliefs. I don't consider you stupid or less intelligent because you believe something different from me. So please, don't try to intimate that I'm less intelligent because I believe something different from you. Because it is simply not true. Last edited by Livia; 13-11-2014 at 02:42 PM. |

Not proof of anything. Until mankind can explore the Cosmos and has developed far stronger theories of the universe, only then will we really be able to start really piecing the jigsaw together. And I suspect that may be in more than a few centuries time. .

As for the thread of the thread (if you get what I mean...) some people will believe one thing, some people will believe another. If someone's been through some kind of trauma or loss, they may well have a very different perspective from those who haven't ever been through trauma or loss and they will never see each other's perspective. If this woman thinks she saw Jesus, who am I to tell her she didn't? |

Devout religious physicists or biologists perplex me slightly.It makes me wonder.They can be writing a paper on the origins of the universe and the big bang theory and the origins of life,But secretly not believe a word of what they're writing and think the Earth is only 6000 years old and we came from Adam and Eve.It's as if they believe that their lifes work is a lie.

I'm saying nowt....
I'm of the feeling that there has been a visitation, and that it was that that was recorded at the time and we have in a chinese whispers way totally misinterpreted what was written, and worse manipulated it for money, power and control of the masses.

"Synchronicity - another thing LT won't accept even if faced by 10,000 cases of hard evidence from people on here or anywhere for that matter" "Even if" -- not "When he has been". If you're going to criticise at least have the good grace to read the subject matter. |

LT's response: "I tend to find that the intelligent ones just hide it better" : joker: This coming from someone who pulls out Krauss's 'A Universe Out Of Nothing' (more from me later on this crap) and waves it in triumph as if it once and forever destroys all theism. Once again LT you contradict yourself, because, on the one hand you decry Livia's quite rational statement, that; "it's possible to be both religious AND intelligent." and on the other you espouse Krauss's B.S. book, yet -- Krauss's totally illogical, scientifically impossible proposition is solely based on the 'Big Bang theory' (Yes - that's 'Theory' LT because that's all it is) and the said 'theory' was proposed by none other than Monseigneur Georges Lemaitre - a Belgian Catholic priest. Lemaitre was not only a priest, he was an astronomer and professor of physics, and in addition to being the first to propose 'the Big Bang Theory', he was also the first to propose the theory of 'an expanding universe' - which he published two years before Hubble, although Hubble was accredited (probably because he was not a priest). Lemaire also proposed what we now all call 'Hubble's law' and the 'Hubble Constant', which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble. So much for your contention.

Leather Trumpet's Post:
"That is not true.... we have a very good idea how the universe was created and how with time, gravity and chemistry suns and planets are formed and cool and die and are reformed. This comet may explain why we have water on earth and that would be a huge breakthrough we know how life started and evolved on earth but to look for purpose is just leading down a blind alleyway we are the result of time and chance" We know how life started and evolved on earth"? Who knows? Please substantiate such a ludicrous statement. Once again, you are passing off theory as fact. This response, is actually brilliant. It is the 64,000 dollar question avoided by all physicists who propose or follow the 'Big Bang Theory'. Krauss himself goes to great pains not to address this in his B.S. book, and when he is finally (in the last 20 odd pages) forced to address it, he takes tortuous, illogical, convoluted paths, to not answer it.

Yes, Cherie, but I didn't take it off topic, and am just responding to already off topic posts. I'm glad you like my underlining. I am currently composing a rational critique of Krauss's BS book - quite lengthy by necessity and loaded with lovely underlings. |

In response to your reply to my post Kirk, for me the fact that there's a lot of evidence to suggest how we started and how life was actually created on Earth, dispels the notion of the "gods" presented to us through the religions, clearly we weren't made in anyone's image and space is so vast I doubt we were purposefully made either. Is there some higher power some where that created it all? I have no idea and I doubt I ever will

This thread will have no conclusion,but Kirk what a GREAT thread,the differing opinions are an interesting read,all I will say scientists are just 'men' prone to exaggeration,Chinese whispers ,mistakes and a few porkies so to me they are no more credible than the person/persons who wrote the Bible.

[QUOTE=LeatherTrumpet;7372708]His posts remind me of smallest LT boys Tom Gates books
Ahhh YAWN.... More attempts to conceal the fact that you have no relevant intelligent answer by trying to use ridicule to distract from the important issues at hand. You really have a lot to say when criticising earnest posts by others but never ever offer genuine reasons for your criticism nor ever offer anything relative by way of counter argument. Before anyone reports me, I am merely offering a legitimate response to repeated ridicule by someone - and surely this is my right on a democratic forum? If it isn't then why is the original groundless ridicule allowed to persist unchecked? Humorous 'ribbing' as part of, or additional to, relevant and serious posts is always acceptable, but that is a far cry from mere ridicule for ridicule's sake in splendid isolation from any accompanying and worthwhile contribution to the subject under debate. Such inane tactics become tedious and intellectually wearing, and lead those who genuinely wish to discuss matters, to think; "Why bother", and this - surely - leads to an impoverished quality of discussion. So LT, instead of your usual tactics (look back through this thread or any other if anyone does not believe me) keep your sense of humour by all means - it is admirable - but please try to envelope it with at least some type of relevant comment which contributes to the subject matter.
