Cold fusion...seems that if you stick your hot tongue on a frozen metal object outdoors when the ambient temperature is below freezing, you will directly experience cold fusion.... http://www.atlantisrising.com/issue6/ar6energy1.html Science and humanism of course stand on their own merits, simply because they self define what are the merits that they should be standing on should be. It is a circular position they tread, but it it makes them happy to do the following, fine by me.... <img src=http://jacobsmedia.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/man_hamster_wheel_lg_nwm.gif>
I think that what most voters really want is for their children to be educated, taught how to think for themselves, not to be indoctrinated by theistic or atheistic dogmas in the public school systems.
Kent, Your views on the 'power' of God are akin to those of a flat-earth observer. In fact nobody has any clear idea of these, except that he is The Almighty. Your E = m*c^2 relationship - in fact E stands for energy, not power - is the best earthlings came up with till now, in trying to comprehend something of the realities of the physical world he is placed in. The formula in question is related to the concept of space sustained by 3 spatial and one time coordinate. Who ever said God is 'trapped' in such space, or for that matter in a kind of space that the next Einstein will come up with, God willing, not before at least another 300 years? Your little colored picture of the explosion means nothing compared to processes taking place in God's universe as we believe to observe it these days. Kent, better stick to physics. If you want to know more about God, learn how to pray and take up theology. nononsense
Energy is merely the release of power. Your description does nothing to rebut my analysis. I have no disagreement with you as to the possibility that God "plays dice with the universe," in the probabilistic sense. But, you are interjecting the "maybe" there's some other power that we don't understand argument, and that is pure theology, not science. If you want to change a subatomic particle without applying magical forces, then you're gonna need to shrink either a high or low energy accelerator down to the size of a virus and then place it into Lenski's bacteria petri dish, and if you apply all of the energy required to do that little task, over an infinitesimally small period of time, then the result is gonna be a really big explosion. The alterative is simply that you spread the activity over a long period of time so as to distribute the energy required. And that distribution of energy over time, when concerning the change to biological organisms has a simple name attached: Evolution.
You write the reference, then you say I have the reading comprehension problem. So jem the item between us in this thread now , ... .isn't evolution a fact ?
Who says so? Are you sure? Carl Sagan would make another lill' TV show telling the people about the birth of a new, yet unknown life form
Wrong. Power is the time derivative of Energy. To simple minded people you could perhaps say: "Power is merely the release of Energy", but don't quote nononsense on this.
Relative to the kids... Lmao, spoken like a good relativistic thinker. But anyway, is a worldview dogmatic if it has as a crucial part of its method a mechanism to review and update itself?
