Evolution - A Weak Argument for the Anti-Supernatural?

Discussion in 'Politics' started by ShoeshineBoy, Nov 27, 2007.

  1. I appreciate your play on words.

    From nothing this world comes, and to nothing shall it return.

    This world is "something for nothing".

    It is much adieu about nothing.

    A mountain out of a mole hill.

    It is literally meaningless.

    Meaningless, it cannot be understood.

    Unable to be understood, it cannot be known by God.

    God did not create it, no matter how much Shoeshineboy insists that he did.

    It remains nothing.

    As far as God is concerned, it does not exist.

    It can only be loved for what it is not. It is not the truth, nor real except to it's believers.

  2. Think of it this way: God is everything. He gives everything to his Creation. So his Creation is also everything.

    Beyond everything is...???

    Nothing.

    This world is Everything attempting to have everything and also nothing.

    Talk about greedy!

    The rest is history...the story of how nothing has been valued in every way possible.

    To have nothing, or to value nothing, it must come at the cost of everything.

    So to get nothing, one must sacrifice everything.

    This sets a trap:

    Now, in order to get everything back, those who have sacrificed everything think they must sacrifice something of great value. But they have nothing. So they look for something of pretended value [ie. blood] from which they can get something for nothing.

    Rather, I ask that you sacrifice nothing in order to get everything back.

    As long as you try to sacrifice value-added nothingness, you will get nowhere.

    Nothingness will remain in your experience until all the value you've given it is withdrawn.

    Having withdrawn value from it, you sacrifice nothing to have everything back.

    Nothingness, invested with value and meaning, makes the world what it is.

    This is how you can be worldly "rich", and yet still poor.

    To "sell everything and give to the poor" means to withdraw the value you have placed upon nothingness so that you have something to give to those who still invest in nothing.

  3. In other words...

    In reality, having and being are the same thing.

    So, what has everything, is everything.

    If everything wants nothing too, then everything must somehow become nothing.

    The rest is history...the story of everything as anything...anything but everything.

    Anything is: man, male, female, bird, beast, tree, rock...anything!

    None of these things are everything.

    Add them all up and all you get is energy, which is nothing.

    Give nothing a body and you have nobody.

    Now nobody has to do something to become somebody.

    And so it goes...nothing comparing itself to nothing in order to seem like something.

    Such is the world.

    Jesus

  4. Because everything in time happened simultaneously, evolution is a smoke screen...a deception.

    If you will notice, everything in the world is designed to look like it came from something else...in the world.

    The world is like a theme park. The theme is: The world causes you. You do not cause the world.

    This is in fact a reversal of cause and effect, which is the effect of denying that the Father is our Father.

    Instead, we have a "dad", and we call ourselves "Johnson", or "Olefson". We think of ourselves as the "son of man".

    The world is an ingenious way to deny Fatherhood to our Father, and take it upon ourselves to be our own creator.

    That is why I said, "call no man father".

    Man is made by the maker of this world which was made by...YOU!

    "You" are the prodigal Son. You are the cause of this world because there is only one Son of God.

    Time decieves you.
    Evolution decieves you.
    Birth decieves you.
    Death decieves you.
    Genesis decieves you.

    You underestimate the extent of the devil's deceptive realm.

    The devil is always trying to make it look like God made the world.

    This serves to validate it's thought system, and decieves you into making it your God.

    By limiting your idea of "the universe" to time, and form, you underestimate the power of the true God, and the power of his Son. So you don't know who you are, or who your Father is.

  5. Do you really think that by piling up words that you have no clue of, you can appear intelligent? Actually it makes you look foolish.

    1. Planets are formed "after 3rd supernovae?" Who taught you that? Ask for you tuition back!
    2. The electromagnetic, strong and weak forces, along with gravity, are the four known forces in physics. They are not "coefficients." And there are not "about forty others."
    3. Singularities, by definition, are singular, ie, they are points. So if somethings were "birthed at the singularity" then there is no "very tight ranges" to speak of.
    4. "Accretions" (whatever you mean by it) don't need tuning. Around every big gravitational field there are accretion discs. See the rings around Saturn. Somehow I don't see the Saturn rings sustaining life.

    Wherever you got your education, go back and ask for your money back. You've been badly conned.

  6. Sorry, but it's true: rocky planets as we know them are formed after a 3rd supernovae event. That's how heavy elements are built up in our universe.

  7. I hate to tell you but you've finally met a Christian who really loves science. I'm not perfect and make some mistakes but this time I'm right. Paul Davies, a skeptic, is the one who first began finding some of these. Since then other astronomers have added to the list.

    Notice that these are just the astrophysical constants. There are many more similar constraints on our solar system.

    Anyway, here is a list of about 30 for your perusal that I have actually posted on et before. But, believe it or not, there are now more than 40. And keep in mind that all of these are in a tight range or bandwidth:


    strong nuclear force constant
    if larger: no hydrogen; nuclei essential for life would be unstable
    if smaller: no elements other than hydrogen
    weak nuclear force constant
    if larger: too much hydrogen converted to helium in big bang, hence too much heavy element material made by star burning; no expulsion of heavy elements from stars
    if smaller: too little helium produced from big bang, hence too little heavy element material made by star burning; no expulsion of heavy elements from stars
    gravitational force constant
    if larger: stars would be too hot and would burn up quickly and unevenly|
    if smaller: stars would be so cool that nuclear fusion would not ignite, thus no heavy element production
    electromagnetic force constant
    if larger: insufficient chemical bonding; elements more massive than boron would be unstable to fission
    if smaller: insufficient chemical bonding
    ratio of electromagnetic force constant to gravitational force constant
    if larger: no stars less than 1.4 solar masses, hence short and uneven stellar burning
    if smaller: no stars more than 0.8 solar masses, hence no heavy element production

    if slower: heavy element fusion would generate catastrophic explosions in all the stars
    if faster: no element production beyond beryllium and, hence, no life chemistry possible
    mass excess of the neutron over the proton

    if greater: too much radiation for planets to form
    if smaller: not enough matter for galaxies or stars to form
    polarity of the water molecule

  8. You're avoiding my point: the universe was birthed with certain constants and these were tuned within very tight ranges for life. That is why scientists with materialist leanings are desperately searching for excuses for multiple universes.

  9. Sorry but you're too cosmic for me. If you want to discuss I'll be glad to, but not where you just ramble off gnostic, New Age philosophy and jargon...This is like talking to JohnnyK again...

  10. You're missing the point here. The galaxies and later planets could never have coalesced if any of these physical constants had been tweaked slightly. Look at the top example above:

    If the strong nuclear force constant was tweaked just slightly the entire universe would be hydrogen and life would be impossible.
