THIS is the guy I was talking about. He uses quantum mechanics to explain retraction of the universe at a certain threshold (but never gives the formula for the threshold). I find it highly unlikely that this would be the answer simply because of the fact that we have Dark matter and Energy. Dark Energy is quickly expanding the universe, and it is unlikely we can ever reach critical mass, therefore debunking this hypothesis.
Dark matter and energy still (if they are ANYTHING like real energy and mass) should warp spacetime in a negative divergent fashion. Sorry, that was too nerdy, that should read: gravity, due to (dark)matter/energy, should be attractive, thus a contraction is not contradicted by darkmatter but expedited! Dark energy is also not responsible for the expansion of the universe... my cosmology is getting a bit out of date (not billions of years out of date, maybe back to 2008 or so hehehehe). It could be due to dark matter/energy effects but we know so little about them now it is difficult to pin down.

Indeed! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Nothing like getting hit in the groin to humble a physicist talking like a know-it-all.

Ehh, cut him a break, you know that whole Eintstein quote about imagination>knowledge... cliche but true.

Although I myself am quite a spelling nazi, Especially on a forum with spelchek.

I would if I didn't read enough of his posts to deduce how close-minded he is, incapable of objective thought.

Atheism simply means a lack of belief in god(s), it does not necessarily imply an active disbelief in the lack of existence of god(s). Quoted from Soup.


How can lack of belief in god be any different from an active disbelief in the lack of existence of god? Not believing asserts non-existence, either you assert that something exists or you assert that something doesn't exist.
E standing for God exists.
You can believe:
E
~E
~~E still = E
~(~~E) = ~E
It isn't that I don't understand this subtly you are speaking of, I simply don't think the distinction makes any sense.

I just chuckled.

Did you intend Zenoo to be the phonetic spelling of Xenu?

I don't think atheist is a belief, its a lack of belief, and i doubt many atheist would still be atheist if they were shown proof of god and i think thats the point.
Everything in science is fact until disproved.

There are a few psychological benefits to atheism if you can handle it.

1.) No inherit point to life means freedom to make up your own.

2.) personal responsibility, no deity to put blame on.

3.) no fixed morality based on ancient texts and pseudo Representatives, meaning logic and emotion and experience to find your own true morality.

What really fucking bothers me is that it seems 99% of people do not know what family Humans belong to or the difference between monkey and ape.

Hey everyone, this is common knowledge here, monkeys and apes are two totally different things! Stop posting a picture of a Chimpanzee and saying it's a monkey. IT'S NOT A FUCKING MONKEY! Neither is a fucking gorilla, bonobo or orangutan. FUCKING APES PEOPLE NOT MONKEY. MONKEY= SMALL WITH TAIL. APE= BIG WITH NO TAIL (basically).

And for fucks sake, wake up. HUMANS ARE APES TOO. Humans belong to the great ape family. We are as much ape as a Chimp, Gorilla or Orangutan. Just because we have thinner hair (atleast in some places) and are smarter does not exclude us from the ape family. Shit, a Chimpanzee is more closely related to a Human than pretty much any other animal, except bonobo but those are basically lithe chimps. If we're not apes, their not either.

Woah, I honestly didn't realize this thread was this old. I kind of lost track browsing through the forums. I'm kind of embarrassed now... My apologies for the necro.

Not going to bother reading this entire thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but just wanted to comment on this...

In science....if something can be proven and reproduced then it can be called a LAW if it can NOT be proven and hasn't really been tested or maybe it's been slightly tested but they don't have a lot of evidence it's a HYPOTHESIS. If it is something that they have done extensive research on and are positive that their statements are fact BUT It can not be reproduced or proven in a lab then it is called a THEORY.

So just because evolution is a theory does NOT mean that the scientific community considers it to be something that didn't really happen.

Speaking as someone is both a Christian AND a scientist (But NOT a Christian Scientist [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) I don't feel that "believing in" evolution and believing in God are mutually exclusive.....

The bible says it took 7 days for God to create the earth and yadda bladda...it does NOT state that it took 7 revolutions of our planet. it does not indicate if it was 7 of His days or 7 of our days. I'm betting that it was a more extensive period of time than 24 hours. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
