Facts To Prove That Science Supports Bible Facts Than Those Of Evolution. by blueAgent(m): 6:13pm On Jul 19, 2016 |
Does Science agree with Bible facts or that of Evolution?Most Atheists argue that Bible facts like the Creation,are inconsistent with Scientic views.hence they promote Evolution as the Logical answer, to explain the Origin of Man. My purpose is to verify if this Claims are consistent with Science or if Science agrees more with the Bible. 1.Origin of the Universe and Matter. Bigbang theory says the Universe came into existence, as a result of a massive expolsions,but this contractdicts Newtons first law of motion. Which states that a body will remain in its state of rest or remain on a straight line if in motion unless it is acted upon by a force.it also contractdicts science law which states Matter can neither be created or destoryed.for bigbang to occur someone(God) or a force must first create the object that exploded and also provide the force to intiate the explosions.this force its self must have the ability to exert force without itsself ,requiring force and also have the ability to create matter from nothing. Bible answer. Hebrews11:3 Says God spoke the word and formed the Universe from Nothing . God is the Unmovable mover, he created the entire Universe from nothing. This is consistent with the laws of Science i mentioned above.it requires faith to believe in the Bible ,same way bigbang theory requires faith. 2.Origin of Life:Evolution and bigbang cannot explain the origin of life.life cannot originate from lightening or by chance as suggested by atheists.atheists view about origin of life contracdicts science law of Biogenesis, that states all life can only come from pre-existing life. Bible Answer: The Bible in John 5:26 says For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; In Job 33:4 Says "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life" Life Requires a LIFEGIVER.it is impossible to have life without a lifegiver?Only God has Life inherent in Himself. This is, after all, what makes Him God. No one created God, because He has Life inherent in Himself. The Bible also states that God created all life during the first six days of the creation week of Genesis 1. 3.Orderliness in the Universe:Evolution and Bigbang theory suggests orderliness in the Universe came into existence by chance or by action of forces like gravity on the Universe. They believe that Man is responsible for the destruction of the Earth rather than Sin.they believe that random events led to the orderliness in the Universe. This contractdict The second law of thermodynamics which proves that organization cannot flow from chaos. Complex live organisms cannot rearrange themselves into an organism of a higher form as claimed by evolutionists. This is scientifically backwards according to the second law of thermodynamics, which has never been proven wrong.The universe is slowing down. Climate change,Flooding,Famines,Droughts,Frequent Earthquakes .e.t.c are proofs that the World is becoming more Chaotic. Order will always move naturally towards disorder or chaos, Not the Opposite.Our complex universe is wearing down, and becoming more chaotic... Bible Answer: Paul was aware of this when he wrote his letter to the Hebrews: Everything ".. waxes old like a garment" (quoted in both Psalm 102:25-27, and also Hebrews 1:10-12). "This verse "anticipates the famous second law of thermodynamics, or law of entropy, indicating that everything in the physical universe is growing old and wearing out. God created everything in the beginning, winding it up like a great clock, so to speak. Because of sin and the curse, however, it has been running down and "perishing" ever since. Jesus also said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away" (literally, "are passing away" ![]() Isaiah 24:4 Says"The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish" Verse5 Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Verse6 Isaiah 24:6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. A chaotic process can never led to an organised state on its own. 4.Design: It is Obvious that the entire Universe and Human body are a product of design.Evolutionists believe the Universe came into existence by chance. What is Chance? Chance is something to occur unexpected or unplanned.this contradicts Scientific method which is the very foundation of Scientific Research.Scientific laws or principle is established only after the theory has been proven.those laws are based on observed and proven patterns not chances.Their is no way a Man will have a Penis and a woman will have a vigina by chance and yet they complement each other ,or how will a man produce sperms and concidentally or by chance a woman also has a womb that needs that sperm to procreate. Birds have wings to enable them fly ,Fishes have fins and gills to enable them Live in water.the body of both fishes and birds are streamlined to enable them move in water and Air with less frictional resistance. all this can not be by chance they were designed to be this way.infact Science have adopted the shapes of birds and fishes in the design of Airplanes and Submarines. Evolution can not do this. this requires design and design requires a mind and life. Evolution is a process just like burning,farting.e.t.c they lack thought. Bible Answer In Psalms 139:14, it says , I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. This shows that Man and the Universe was carefully designed and made not by chance but by God Almighty.where is the logic in believing, that Robots must be designed and created ,while Man came into existence by chance. 5.Death and Decay: Evolution and Bigbang theory suggests that objects or things move from simple cells or things to complex things or organism .they suggest that man and the Universe is evoluing into higher state. This is contray to the law of Entropy, The genes of plants,insects, animals, and humans are continually becoming defective, not improving. Species are becoming extinct, not evolving . Scientific observation of the world confirms that there is an inexorable law that things decay from more complex forms into simpler ones over time. Radioactive elements decay into simpler elements over time. A car or house left to itself will decay over time back into the earth from which its constituent elements came. A recent cable-TV documentary called “Life After Humans” affirmed and described this process very well. It asserted that within hundreds of years, even New York City would be reclaimed by the elements. Streets, buildings, metallic objects, etc. would all decay into simpler forms. rends don’t exist.Humans and animals decay immedately after death. In order for evolution to exist, there would have to be an immutable,observable law that simple things automatically and inexorably recombine themselves into ever-more complex forms. It is an observable, testable fact that such necessary evolutionary trends don’t exist. Bible Answer. Ecclesiastes 10:18 , Says By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. All this Bible verses agree with Science law of Entropy. Things wear down. Nothing gets better by itself. In Conclusion There are lots of examples that prove that Science is in agreement with Bible facts and not in oppostion. but i cannot exhaust all the examples due to limited Space and time. No wonder the great Scienctist and Physics great ,Albert Einstein said " Science without Religeon is Lame,Religeon without Science is Blind" Thanks BlueAgent 1 Like 1 Share |

I love it when religious fanatics are trying to associate science with religion. All the rapid and progressive development achieved in science are part of evolution itself. But did you know that Science is a superset of religion while religion is just an aspect of philosophy. If you are not ignorant of what scientific theories entails, you will realize that beliefs and other religious theories are discarded. You can't be a science genius and retain the standard of a real Christian. Science and Religion are two different things. Africans are the only setback that the world has. The whites presented us Education, Religion, Civilization, Science and Technology, but among all these, Nigerians only anticipated Religion so as to easily hide their ignorance and assumptions. Everything about Africans have been lame, irrational and apparently not worthy of emulation. Bro! We don't create value for our lives when we don't know and we are not ready to know. We are the most religious but still unable to control our economy. What a religious jugi - jugi. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

blueAgent: You see it is something remarkable to me that someone can so proudly spew from a blind point of what i'd like to call 'Self induced ignorance' reading this post filled me with a mixed feeling. -One is 'laughter' if i should laugh at such stark naivete and unparalleled ignorance masquerading as an apologetic article. -The other was a feeling on 'being pissed off' pissed off at the arrogance from which ignorance is being shoveled out, pissed because it is a self induced ignorance, straight out dishonesty seeking out which science facts can be reconciled with your beliefs and which is not yet still on a lunatic mission of trying to butter science into old outdated primitive superstitions, i am pissed at the fact that the person that has pulled off such feeble laughable attempt at refuting scientific findings [even though it was a mission aimed at reconciling his beliefs with science but ended up being cherrypicking of scientific findings] you've have done so with a pitiable ignorance on the topics you touched. People attacking something they don't even understand, this is the case and it makes me even more pissed. I am not going to go easy on this reply, i will condescend and i will belittle you, i will reveal the idiocy of your arrogance while swimming in humongous ignorance - because i'm beginning to see my recent mild approach has given people the go ahead to spew nonsense everywhere, my recent silence and so busy schedule has given you lot the leverage to shovel outright absurd apologetic lunacy with abject ignorance proudly - I won't take it easy with you because you don't deserve it. Let us start with the bolded coloured words How so is the discipline of science different from the scientific branch of study: Evolution? this the most idiotic assertion i have seen in a while. Evolution is a scientific branch of study and so is no different from science unless of course you have your own personal definition of science [this is something i thought only kids would be ignorant of but alas a full grown asss adult is the one here - pity] It is clear at first glance to people reading this that the OP is a very dishonest person who aims at distinguishing scientific fields that contradicts his personal beliefs with science. Let us proceed.
The second blunder this is - first the big bang didn't propose an explosion rather expansion, a massive inflation of a universal singularity. As usual arguing from ignorance. further more - Laws of physics are observed principles of how physical properties behave in the universe, therefore [even though the Big Bang did not propose nothing] even if you run everything back to a state of nothingness, it means no physical particles or values exists therefore there cannot be a law of physics. If there is nothingness there is no law of Newton meaning simultaneously things can happen from no where - Laws of Physics only apply in an already established universe not in a state of nothingness. -Lets further show your naivete - laws of macro physics breaks down in the micro state, in the quantum level there is no such thing as Laws of motion, every laws of physics we know in this macro state is contradicted when we look down into the micro world. -subatomic particles can accelerate all by themselves without being acted upon by an external force -quantum tunnelling -quantum fluctuations - where particles pop into existence from seeming nothingness And if we agree the macro state is build from the micro bits then there was a time the universe can be referred to be in a micro state and therefore holds no established observed behavioural tendencies [laws of physics ]of the macro state we now observe … If you knew this you wouldn't have pulled out this naive argument. Law of energy conservation (thermodynamics) which even voids your argument below where you are invoking a god to answer the problem of causality. If energy cannot be created nor destroyed as stated above - doesn't this mean the universe [which is both energy and matter -matter still a form of energy] didn't need to be created? You already destroyed your own argument.
You see the idiocy of religious dishonesty? This is the same person who wanted to argue that the universe must require a force [A god he wants to put there] to cause it because of first law of motion he stated then turns around and propose a force that doesn't require an external force thereby contradicting the very first law of motion he pulled out to support his argument. This is not only a blind clutch at a dishonest special pleading it also shoots the OP in the foot bringing out a sad show of someone refuting his own argument without even realizing it. If you propose a force that needs no external force to be caused then why exactly were we looking for a cause for the universe in the first place? Why then don't we apply the same method, save a step and propose the universe has the ability to be without interference from an external force. If you say everything must have an external cause behind then this your proposed force [conscious humanoid it outstandingly is] must require another force which in turn must require another force and we are caught in a chain of infinite regress of external causes. Let me say even if there was an external force behind the universe [not necessarily an ominous weird conscious entity from where] then the question is what is it? If according to obviously what you believe in - is a humanoid who loves the jews, gets jealous, has anger issues and is more childish, petty and insecure than humans then you not only lunatic but lacks deep knowledge and reverence of what the universe stands for. Here we go, the same dishonest clutch at special pleading and again contradiction of own stance. You forgot the third law of motion that states for every action there is an equal reaction, so there cannot be such a thing as unmovable mover, for something to move the other it must have likewise same motion. so going by the Laws of Newton you naively brought up - there cannot be such a thing as unmovable mover, you must be moving for you to move another. God spoke the 'word' this is not an act of design, this is rather magic... it takes a magician and abracadabra to pop out things from no where. Regarding the 'Faith based belief of the bible' you got that part absolutely right on the other hand the big bang [science] do not require faith because it is neither a dogma or doctrine or a claim of absolute certainty. It's a systematic approach through observations and using consistent logic and mathematical tools to arrive at a truthful approximation without at any point claim absolute truth has been reached. 8 Likes 6 Shares |

Nairaland said the reply was too long so i had to cut bit by bit... continued
Just when i thought you couldn't get dumber you just had to prove me wrong, who ever proposed origin by lightening.. lol. Nature itself is ruled by chance, in fact even if there is a God behind the causality of the universe and life it is still a subject to chance that it decided to create us after all. Life is a chemistry, an organic chemistry we are still struggling to understand due to the intricate nature of the chemistry involved, building blocks of life as we know it has been synthesized from abiotic agents through very many means showing life almost certainly arose from abiotic organic factors. .. and this pre-existing life then from another and that one from another and we are in another infinite regress and loop. I think it is more rational and obvious that the universe [which life is not independent of] develops from a simple level to more intricate level with time and random interactions of values within it's confines and life was a result of these interactions and development. Biogenesis and abiogenesis are both scientific hypothesis and i do not recall ever knowing of any law that states 'Biogenesis must be the case' Again almost every experiment is pointing towards an abiotic origin of life, you are basically Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon and these are the most common elements in the universe alongside helium, if life as we know it is made from the most common values there are how is it then a surprise that there is life? Johanness Kepler once asked 'if a letuce, milk, carrot, cabbage has been floating eternally, could there have by chance met and salad is made?' his answer was 'yes' You lot harbour an egoistic mindset placing yourself as the 'purpose' behind universal causality. Life is not the cause of the universe but an effect .... obviously..
Here we go again another nonsensical special pleading: Life must be given by a life giver and then this life giver even though also alive does not need another life giver - therefore life does not necessarily need a life giver as you'd want to argue.

Bolded is so on point: Gravity is in fact the leading cause of cosmological patterns we observe in the universe. As i have always said here: You need a thorough teaching on these subjects before you can ever grasp it because you always argue from a simplistic ignorance. In the universe it is evidently clear that is is both chaotic and random and these activities leadings to a resulting pattern. Both order and randomness are equally represented in the cosmos and these orderliness are always effects of chaotic interactions. It will take a total dunce to assert a universe where asteroids and other planetary bodies crash into planets, galaxies colliding into each other, intercepting wobbling orbits and so many others is perfectly ordered, it shows total ignorance on the premise being argued. This was the same very mistake Johannes Kepler made when he argued for a perfectly ordered cosmos, perfectly geometrical orbits that later as he studied turned out to be irregular ellipses and not perfect circles leading him to say " The truth of nature, which I had rejected and chased away, returned by stealth through the back door, disguising itself to be accepted . . . Ah, what a foolish bird I have been!" Following this same line of thought - Kepler once thought after observing moon craters that they must be works of intelligent species on the moon, that such perfect circles could not be a work of chance by random nature. But he was also wrong - Moon craters even though perfectly ordered geometrical depressions were not made by any intelligent species neither does it need any, turns out nature is fully capable of making such highly ordered geometrical perfection from randomness, chaos and by chance. A falling rock of great speed [meteorite or asteroid] impacting on a surface would produce a local explosion, perfectly symmetric in all directions and would carve out a perfectly circular cavity This contractdict The second law of thermodynamics which Bros please stop disgracing yourself, thermodynamics deals with heat [temperature] and other crude form of energy manifestations not biology. it is a very obvious fact that complexity is derived from simplicity.
Damn!!! is "thermodynamics" the only word regarding scientific laws you know and you always attribute wrong propositions of your own making to it. Please sir the universe is not slowing down, it is actually speeding up most recently. And if the universe is to slow down then it is a reach of gravity sir which will lead to a reverse of the course crunching everything back together [if the universe has enough matter] and if this is the case it means the universe is a circle, an unending regress of end and causality, then if the big bang be true, it certainly was not the first or last. if the universe has not enough matter then it will race on forever. . Let me again reverse this argument - [even though the universe is not ordered as you'd have us believe, you are trying to explain the universal complexity and order with God (an even more ordered and complex entity that should be) because for God to be intelligent and conscious enough to create the universe then it must be equally as complex at least or far more complex than the universe. if you aim at explaining universal complexity with God then you'd need to invoke another God to explain God's complexity and again another infinite regress. But if you maintain God is uncaused even though more complex than the universe - then you have defeated your own argument since you have shown something can be complex without being caused by another therefore you have no case against the universe being complex without being made so by another complex thing. It is clear that complexity is derived by consistent intrinsic development of simpler values.
and they laugh at your delusion of an ordered cosmos.
Another shouty load of half baked nonsense - like saying cold can become hot but hot cannot be become cold.
Here we have it people, the boy hews his cosmogony from biblical passages which he is trying to hard to reconcile with modern science even though he believes the bible is an absolute truth. [since the bible is the literal absolute truth shouldn't every other part of human enquiry be the ones hoping to reconcile with the bible and not the other way round as you are doing here?] To even stretch his dishonesty more, he is cherry picking the parts of science to reconcile with his beliefs and chastises ignorantly the parts he feels are direct threats to his beliefs. it's obvious you are not aiming at finding the truth of nature with open mind just hoping to find feeble reasons to make yourself feel good with the fantasy of religious correctness. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

LOL.. 'Let there be light' is not design, even the pope agrees and avows that it takes more of magic. You must show us what an undesigned universe should be like so we can compare to draw a conclusion.
Yes there is no way some organisms reproduce sexually while others reproduce asexually.. isn't 'sexual' reproduction your example of design? meaning 'asexual reproductions are 'undesigned'. lol.. face it brother no matter how much you yank it nature is very diverse, uncharted and unplanned, happens in every way. Diversity of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms developed from a simpler initial asexual form, splitting of daughter cells, assimilation of mitochondria into the cellular composition, these add credence to a consistent development. Let me further buggle your mind - even if we add a God to the picture it still falls down back to chance. - a chance that there somehow is a God and not 'nothing' -a chance that this god turns out to have an ability to create - a chance that in a literal unending loop of existence this god just pops up one day and decides to create everything - a chance that the things created are part of the things he created and other inexistent things are not. You cannot ruled out the infinite reach of chance, how ever you may try to wriggle around it, it will always fall back down to remarkable chance. Yet again this God you are invoking; isn't it precise? isn't it a functional system like every other living entity? Isn't it equally as intricate or more? If going by your argument humans must require design then won't this God also require design if we follow your arguments? -since complexity connotes design to you therefore this God must require design, if not your argument shatters as usual or is it just a conscious nebulous cloud of nothing
wouldn't wings be a very wonderful thing for humans to have also? why don't we have it then? Ostrich has wings but yet don't fly, did the designer encounter difficulty there or should be we say it is incompetent of pulling off a better design? Adaptation and natural selection.
Human body also is, snakes also have that even more so but there move on land. It points to a random selection since these features you may point out also exists in other examples starkly unrelated to the given examples.
showing design require pre-existing materials and inspirations to occur and not magic 'let the oceans produce fishes' is not design. we did not design an aeroplane by speaking to ourselves without any pre-existing inspiration and materials and it took very many long periods of trials and errors.
Says who? but yet they produce result.
If this universe is your idea of a carefully made system, you have a serious problem of observation of obvious facts.
You see where your problem lies is arguing against a premise you simply don't even understand. One can simply point out - Natural selection.. An evolutionary mechanism, organisms that are capable of adapting to a given habitat continues and thrives while ones unable die off [extinction] Evolution is not a linear process of improvement, it is diversely random. It can go any way and every way in coincide with the given factors involved. Not a linear one way development. You need to read, understand before rushing off to argue against things you don't even have an idea of.
The truth is you don't even know what the word evolution is..simpler values can accumulate into intricate values and complex values can be broken into simpler values - thus is the relationship, the complex things derive a fundamental bedrock from simpler values. tiny atoms makes everything from these micro scale and not the other way round, giving cliche examples like humans decaying lends testimony to the fact that complex values are dependent on micro values. hydrogen and oxygen molecule reacting will move from being simple elements into becoming a complex compound : water or hydrogen peroxide which still can be broken down into oxygen and hydrogen bits. Accumulation of varying simple values leads to a complex system, a consistent building from the scratch not a remarkable drop of fully complex system from no where.
Drop the bible, pick up more science books at least you may yet go past this pitiable stage of always yapping about "thermodynamics" and always getting it wrong and pully out laws of thermodynamics from no where. Or equating thermo manifestations to biological activities.
Bros you simply have no point here, not even one. You first of all need to understand science from the basic level before you can come back and try again. You only poured out your personal beliefs all hewn from one ancient book you probably should be way above but rather choose to be bound mercilessly in a primitive ideology that deserves respect only as a product of human enquiry and probing audacity but must be recognized to be just as naive as it is ignorant and limited like most other ancient works. All you have done here is to show you have no idea about the premises you have invoked but instead of agree to ignorance you fill that void of ignorance with the word 'God' convincing yourself that you've got the answer even without honest enquiry. Through out the course of history and scientific development- things attributed to Gods has always dwindled and waned as more breakthroughs and discoveries are made. God has always shown to be no more than the projection of human ignorance, a placeholder for ignorance. E.G: Ptolemy of the Hellenistic age after observing planetary motions remarked "As i observe for my pleasure the to and fro movement of the planetary bodies, i no longer stand on the earth with my two feet but in the presence of zeus himself" Ptolemy was awed by the remarkable manifestation of celestial motions, his ignorance more so inducing greater awe instead of agree ignorance to how their came about or the mechanism behind it, Ptolemy invoked God, zeus. Centuries later, isaac newton figured out the problem of planetary motion - gravity and God was canceled from the mechanism of planetary motion as Ptolemy did because unlike Ptolemy he figured out how they happened. But Newton came to the problem of solar stability, he came to the apex of his knowledge and mathematics, he was ignorant of that level of solar orbital dance, he did like Ptolemy and invoked his own God [christian God] Laplace came along years later and solved the problem of stability with this calculations of perturbation and thus goes, the God of Newton was shattered from the equation; a small beautiful maths found in the 'principa mathematica' removed the God of newton from the solution of solar stability. when asked the role of god in the equation leplace simply answered "i have no need of that hypothesis" You see; Gods may exist or not [billions of them if you will] but if you only hide God in a place shielded by scientific ignorance in order to derive basis or relevance for the existence of god then i'm sorry that is a feeble attempt because as more discoveries are being made and as study progresses 'God will always be a receding pocket of scientific ignorance' as Paul Heinrich Dietrich, Baron von Holbach once out it "If a faithful account was rendered of Man’s ideas upon Divinity, he would be obliged to acknowledge, that for the most part the word ‘gods’ has been used to express the concealed, remote, unknown causes of the effects he witnessed; that he applies this term when the spring of the natural, the source of known causes, ceases to be visible: as soon as he loses the thread of these causes, or as soon as his mind can no longer follow the chain, he solves the difficulty, terminates his research, by ascribing it to his gods . . . When, therefore, he ascribes to his gods the production of some phenomenon . . . does he, in fact, do any thing more than substitute for the darkness of his own mind, a sound to which he has been accustomed to listen with reverential awe? " ......
Exactly cus science and religion are siblings, children of philosophy. but there is more to religion that yours. there are very many religions with deep profound cosmogony very relatable to modern scientific findings even though very old more so than your bible - Hinduism even on ones with no pointer to creator deities - Taoism, Buddism, Jainism. and i have always found them more honest, sincere and open minded to the possibilities that are and always recognize their postulations and myths to be eloquent human philosophies and speculations about the natural world that possibly may be or not be true. even though Hinduism proposes a deity, it always holds the idea of an unending universe going in circles going through births and rebirths [Almost same as the big bang cosmological model proposes of there is sufficient matter in the universe to reverse the expansion like i mentioned earlier above] But yet in one of the hindu Vedas: One of the hymns in the Rigveda speculates on various cosmic forces which might have fashioned the universe. It concludes with a passage of most Sophisticated scepticism , beginning: 'But, after all, who knows, and who can say whence it all came, and how creation happened.' That is a remarkable and deep clear cut honesty and intellectual humility something both you and your religion lacks rather boast of intellectual dishonesty buttered with arrogance even in ignorance. that is surely a dangerous factor to the intellectual evolution of the human species.
Thanks too, hope you learn a thing or two. at least intellectual honesty and humility and learn more before attempting to teach to avoid the sad show above.

felixomor: The universe again is your answer... we know nothing outside the universe. the universe is the totality of everthing.. You simply do not know how to phrase a question: your question should have been. Is there anything apart from the entirety of the universe that operates itself..? another answer - The stars. 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: Logic hole 1: 'the universe is the totality of everything" You are WRONG. Even no scientist has ever made that statement because no one has been able to traverse the universe let alone going outside it. U need a totality to sucessfully make an exclusion E.G. To say that there is "no policeman IN A CITY" means you must traverse the city thorough and sucessfully exclude the personality of a policeman, before making such statement. Years ago, there were "only nine planets". But we now know that that statement was false by whosoever made it that time. My dear i hope u see ur fallacy. Your answer should have simply been "i dont know, sincerely" And a more truthful answer would av been 'nothing really starts operating itself, its a scientific law, yet to be defied by any experiment'. But its typical aethist pride, we know. And its right at work in u, even though u r not yet an aethist |

felixomor: It's always like playing a board game with a kid when arguing you theist, please how exactly does traversing the entirety of the universe related to avowing the universe is everything? You should simply read your posts before posting them... No scientist has ever made that statement - i wonder what scientist mean to you lot [ The Universe is all of time and space and its contents. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe ] Talk trash next time.
Very off hook analogy, you are relating an analogy of "No policeman in a city" to an assertion "the universe is everything"
You need an upgrade before you can pin point fallacies because all you did was create one in your head starkly unrelated to my assertion and then dance around it.
Oh i gave a very simple answer - The universe again is your answer... we know nothing outside the universe. which is the truth, we know of nothing yet that can be pointed to be outside the universe. so the self operating nature of the universe remains our number one example.
Why do you lot always talk so much crap with so much arrogance - just after i have treated ignorant misconception above. "Cause and effect" is a law of the macro state, breaks down in the micro level, quantum tunnelling, quantum fluctuations, Physical laws of the macro state breaks down in the quantum state. quantum level contradicts basically almost every macro law of physics. In fact let me also give an example of things operating themselves with external influence - certain subatomic particles can be induced to speed up all by themselves with any external force. http://news.mit.edu/2015/self-accelerating-particles-0120 This murders your naivete that no experiment has defiled laws of cause and effect [motion] I sure do hope you argue less from ignorance now.
Anyone who reads this can only imagine how confused or idiotic you must be - i'm sure you are the one who states who is an atheist or not. "I'm having a personal relationship with the supposed creator of the cosmos, but oh atheists are the proud one" And it's atheist not aethist[/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: First you start by quoting wikipedia. Even kids edit wikipedia. Whats that, its called shallow work. Please be specific Please lets not deviate too far from the question, i asked if u ever know any other thing "apart from the universe that operates itself?" And then u make it clear that universe is everything by citing wikipedia. But here is what some Cosmologists think Read it here: http://io9.gizmodo.com/5799335/five-weird-theories-of-what-lies-outside-the-universe I dont think their reasoning is stupid either, or are they? Again, it shows u have limited your thoughts all by yourself. Moreover you use the word "contents" Every "content" has a "container" My issue with u is that u cant even position your brain in a place to ask "what is outside of this container"? Yet u claim to b scientifically oriented Again u ask how does traversing the entirety of the universe avow "universe is everything" Is it that u have problem with the word u used? "everything" The word "everything" completely excludes "every other thing" Please if u dont know, know now. And please let me tell u how you sound when u try to proclaim "everything" from inside and within the universe. U sound like the capacitor telling the transistor what "everything" is, meanwhile they are both inside and within a television box. How myopic could that be? (if u like twist the analogy) Afterall its obvious u didnt get the "policeman in the city" analogy. Overall, u clearly dont know that "everything" excludes "every other thing". "we know nothing outside the universe" You dont know that this statement can give birth to another true statement, "we are inside the universe" Or u want to disagree with that? And if u are 'inside' the universe, how were u able to verify there is nothing 'outside'? I hope u see how ur thinking has been restricted? You want to be a professor of 'everything' yet you are 'inside' something. How better can it get? You keep saying "certain subatomic particles can be induced" Please why the "induction"? ("induction" from the word 'induced" which you used, so that you wont swallow me.) Is the induction not an influence? Moreover macro and micro can both affect each other. Actions and events at micro level can be an effect of what is happening at macro level. It even buttresses the theory that what you see within the universe can be an effect of whats going on outside it. Well u can argue against that, i am not in any way trying to win u over. Atheists need no personal definition from me. Atheism has long been associated with pride, The man who says there is No God despite the biillions of evidences around him is only full of his own brain. He refuses to think of the possibility of what is outside the universe, what is the origin of the consciousness I posses? Why did my heart start beating all of a sudden when i was in my mother's womb? Pride can never be more than that. If you want to see the best of an atheist, make him the supreme leader of a nation. I know u are not one anyway. |

felixomor: And the circle keeps going, a simple reply "we don't know anything outside the universe" is so hard tocomprehend, please how can you provide an example of something outside the universe when you don't know of any?
There are numerous theories as regard possibilities of universes, Multiverses, bubble or over laying universes many of them. the truth remains nobody still have any idea of things outside this universe, so quoting theories still in no way helps your case because these hypothesis we recognize are speculations of possibilities. again how can you give examples of things outside the universe when you know of nothing outside the universe.
Extra-terrestrial universes are areas i am firmly rooted in when it comes to cosmological terms, it is still a starkly uncertain topic only reachable by assumptive speculations. The facts remains: Nobody knows if or what lies outside the universe, so you should straighten your points better.
Everything is a unifying word, a bundle of an entirety. . . Everything we know of is part of our universe, it sums up the totality of our space/time. I wonder the so hard thing on something this simple to understand
Every expanse and constituents of space/time is the universe, if there are things outside the universe. -other universes -hypa-universe. we do not know yet therefore we cannot give such an example when we don't know of any other thing outside the universe.
total mesh of nonsense.
Exactly the point, a very simple point you always miss in your hurry to engage in an infantile effort with meaningless circle of words. "We know nothing outside the universe" therefore we cannot give an example of what we don't know. keep on asking for examples after this.
You see now how you always employ nonsensical fallacies of ambiguity redefining a term to suit your own self even if means misrepresenting it. The post suggest we know of nothing outside the universe therefore we cannot give an example of something outside the universe - how exactly does this elude you?
As usual simple terms eludes you cognition - it infers a distinct condition of physical quality.
OH this correct - micro is the foundations upon which the macro is built, the physical properties of the macro are due to the configurations at the micro bits. So in line with the infinite universe theory [everything is a universe of it's own] the universe we know might in fact be just a micro bit in a much larger plain, a defining constituent amongst lots more of a larger manifestation.
As usual replacing the ignorance of your mind with the sound 'God'. . . it takes attendant idiocy to always hope to replace a gap of ignorance with any assumption that comes to mind. Posing questions that are all parts of our scientific enquiry but then having a preconceived answer in the face of ignorance. -You have no evidence to support your claim of a deity, only hiding behind places of human enquiry shielded by a curtain of scientific ignorance. that there are questions you have no answer to doesn't mean gods did it, it simply means you don't have the answer yet. invoking gods would rather terminate your research while deluding you with the notion that you've got the answer. -Give us evidence of your God. You cannot point at a tree to infer tree fairies exist, provide empirical evidence for them not tender your claim as evidence.
I'm sure you know, isn't that what religious belief is about? Pretending you KNOW something you Don't. That's a trait and arrogance only simpletons can harbour |

johnydon22: Now u have suceeded in bringing "uncertainty" into the discussion. Which is better though. And I know u wouldnt have done that had i not pointed u to other possible theories of what lies outside the universe. Afterall, what is outside "everything"? Now u see that ur 'everything" is only what you know? Lesson: never use the word "everything" when you are not an authority in a field of discussion. So when I asked earlier do u know any other thing that operates itself. Why didnt u point out some level of unceratinty, by saying, "we have not seen any other" or say "we dont know"(as u just did above) Now you are trying to use long lines to make ur "everything" look relative between u and i. *yinmu* That aside. Moreover its now obvious there is a possibility of some other things that "operate themselves" outside the universe. And also outside your "nature". And u are arguing quantum "theories" yet you dont want people to argue metaphysical "theories". Mscheww My best advise for people like u is just to stay in the middle. If they ask u anything, just say "i dont know" It will save u so much rather than trying to be professor of "everything", yet you are inside "something". I admit me myself am also in the container called the universe, but I can rely on someone outside (who operates based on spiritual laws also, not only physical laws of time, space and matter) to tell me what is outside and that Person communicates with me through what you call 'consciousness" I dont expect u to unravel consciousness. Not even the most elightened atheists have done that. So Cheers |

^^^So much ado about nothing. How can we even say something exists outside the universe, when we don't know how vast the universe is. The universe might be unending, nobody knows, so spare us the tale of existence of something outside of it, or give us proof. |
