Creation vs. Evolution

[TheRedHead]

Whatever it means it sounds like it's opening up a new era of exploration in string theory.

Do you need helium for that?

One may also, for example, believe that a supreme being "created" (or provoked, or whatever) the Big Bang, and set in place the "rules" that led to what we see today. This individual would also believe that the organisms that exist today are the result of eons of evolutionary pressures.

You realize we are debating on the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin, don't you?

This is fun!!!

I'm not much of a physicist or cosmologist and I can not think of a way of testing the Big Bang, so I leave that open to everything from God to nothing to a singularity created by an ulcer in the gut lining of an organism who's digestive tract separates matter from anti-matter.

On the ScubaBoard we never debate the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin, the number of angels that can dance on a pinhead ... perhaps.<G>

In contemplating creation and time and Biblical references to days (aside from Biblical references to God's time, where a thousand years is but a moment) it is useful to include relativity, by which we know that there are places in the universe where no days, indeed not even hours, have passed in the last several million years...
So... depending on where you happen to stand and watch, earth may be 4 billion or six thousand years - or just a few hours... old.

Good point Rick.

So David, if the earth is flat, how did we get to the Philippines the first time? Did we run off and fall into the parallel universe?

 

[Thalassamania]

So does the Journal of Irreproducible Results, but you needent take either seriously.
