Wolfgang, what is your explanation for the incredible finely calibrated constants set in the big bang which made it possible for higher life to exist in the universe ?

Maybe a god did it?

This thread is about the Big Bang.
First put forward by a religious man.
Widely accepted by Christians.
But fundamentalists here want to ignore it.
Why can't you incorporate scientific discoveries into your religion?

I will go with the creation story in the Bible, because of its unique nature of moving from creation to the birth of Christ, keeping genealogy records of several races we see today.

Your question doesn't make sense to me.

Some Christian brothers accept a Big Bang theory and some are skeptical.

You may be painting Christians with too broad of a brush.

For discussions of science and faith I like the Christian astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross and his articles and videos in "Reasons to Believe".

" Hugh Ross, Phd astrophysicist -- Why the Universe is the way it is" is a good example of his style.

I had this argument with RJHinds many, many times.

I will say that in addition to what I already said, I don't have issue one with scientific
discoveries, but if all that is being offered are one set of beliefs over another set of
beliefs, I'll stick with scripture if they are at odds.

I like science.
I majored in Computer Science.

I use to subscribe to Nature magazine.
Articles on recent inventions or discoveries have great interest to me.

As a man of faith I have no fear of the scientific enterprise.
Newton and Galileo didn't. Why should I?

I don't take the Bible as intended to be a science book.
But I do take it as God revealing some things to the world that we could not figure out unless He told us.

The caricature of the Christian fearful of the advancement of science just doesn't fit many Christians if it does apply to some.

I expect that as we move more into the 21rst Century the Intelligent Design of life will become more evident in the discoveries to be made.

That the DNA molecule arose by some lucky accidents is beyond superstitious. Its insane to think randomness or something LIKE randomness caused the DNA molecule to come into existence and be so repeatable over many kinds of living organisms.

A good SCIENCE video.

Funny how you believe science can disprove a miraculous creation. Just goes to show your point of view is not of God.

Go on, tell him again what he believes.

I mean since you're so familiar with it that you can judge him over it.

He, like you, believes Satan's lies.

You are such a hypocrite. I don't know how you can be so arrogant and hypocritical at the same time. It is quite the trick.
