Re: Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

First, having read about this CONFORMAL CYCLIC COSMOLOGY, and this guy makes a LOT of assumtions (and says so), and deliberatly ignores some stuff (and says so). Basically, it is an idea, nothing more, based not on evidence but on assumptions, many unproven, perhaps even unprovable. Thus it is irrel...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

Good to know you at least understand what I was saying (I wasn't always sure I had clearly explained it). I can understand why you would think that when I said "earth", I meant "earth as you know it" and thus could not see comets arriving without leaving a mark :shock: . I beleiv...

Re: Something I desperately need to know...

Heres a site for origine of life and it's problems http://www.theory-of-evolution.net/ Note that with these problems, it does not prove that evolution did not happen, only that it could not happen by random chance. It could happen if there is a god. However, then you need it to be physically possibl...

Re: Atheist delusions

Proinsias, I exxagerated a little, but not much. Recently there have been several cases where high school valedictorians were not allowed to talk about God in their graduation speeches because some atheist student or parent complained that went against their rights. Today, I read about how the vete...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

If you believe that Gen 1 is literal than there is no reason you should not accept that the days mentioned are 24 hours day, since that is what the literal translation would hold you to, evening and morning. Unless you go metaphorical you can’t say they are millions of years and in that sense, cont...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

Here is the problem, I see you say this, it seems to say that you are certain that the bible does not contain science. The Bible was not intended as a primitive science manual that presented rudimentary scientific facts that would be verifiable at a later date when science caught up. Which is why I ...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

Just a few quick questions (for Neo-x): 1)About these "gaps, well, could I see one? Please show a place where there is a gap (especially in Gen 1), and the evidence that this gap exists. 2) About interperatation of Gen 1, is it literal or metaphorical, if the later parts are literal, such as th...

Re: Atheist delusions

After listening to a Facebook atheist bash Christianity, saying how he won't believe in something theres no evidence for, and all that noise, he said something along the lines of "atheists are the most hated minorities" "their constitutional rights are stepped on because they're not ...

Re: Important question about God's silence and lack of mirac

Well, this one is a bit iffy. I mean, there is no where in the bible where it is said that the Holy Spirit will witness like so. The examples of God speaking from the bible are varied, and seem to change depending on who God is talking to and when. For instance, during some times (like the time of J...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

The basis of the disagreement between Neo-X and myself here is that I believe that the natural world, if studied through science, and the bible, agree on what they say, and Neo-x does not. In fact, Neo-x always shows up whenever I post anything that dares to suggest that what is written in Genesis a...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

You think your idea of a comet rain is supported by evidence? There is no evidence of it. there are roughly five or six impact comets that struck earth in its 4 billion year old history. Uh, read my post agian, I did not say that I thought the way the majority of the water arrived was though comet ...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

secondly, the question of oxygen is not answered by your long copy pasted articles. The point is not if oxygen existed at all but in what proportion. The question was not oxygen, the question was water, on the early earth, existing before there was life on the earth. Your idea about oxygen insists ...

Re: "Where is Noah?" Then and now.

Here is a question for you, where does oxygen come from in this universe? Did it exist before the earth existed? In fact, when oxygen first comes into existance in this universe, is it not pretty reactive? And what is the most abundant element it is likley to react with? And did it exist at the same...
