A fine article.

Would teachers in the Tennesse public schools be allowed to hold ID up to rigorous examination without fear of being stoned by a knuckle dragging mob of rednecks?

It would be a case of "don't confuse me with facts, my minds made
up"

That seems to sum up the Duelling Banjos silence from the pews...

Ah well, we tried to elevate the debate... thanks, son & aardvark

(And go with god, the rest of you heathens..... too many big words to read?)

God botherers (singing with their fingers in their ears): LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH LAH . We can't hear you, we're not listening.

The reason why I chose creation is because it answers the big question of the origin of time, space and matter. Einstein's theory of general relativity, confirms that there has to be a start. His theory was ultimately verified by Penzias and Wilson, Smoot, and many other recognised scientists.

Spontaneous generation just doesn't make logical sense to me.

Why would anybody dare to answer, if they knew they would instantly be labeled as a moron, idiot or redneck? I tried this before and got shut up rather quickly.

It "answers" the question in a non-scientific manner. There is nothing in Einstein's theories that require "creation" by some supernatural being.

I've heard of Einstein but I'm afraid I don't recognize these other folks.

Sure. Pray give me a more scientific theory on where all the atoms in the universe came from.

Bible Studies is a science, in these last days - didn't you know?

This is good... I really like this....

On the one hand you accept that the universe is comprised of atoms.

On the other hand, you deny the nature of atomic theory based on flux, time & eternity being one, and the spontaneity of all things everywhen.

Pray, let your left lobe know what your right lobes's doing....

Penzias, Arno Allan, 1933–, German-American physicist, b. Munich, Germany, Ph.D. Columbia Univ., 1962. He fled Nazi Germany with his family and after finishing school began work at Bell Telephone Laboratories. In 1964 he and colleague Robert Wilson began monitoring radio waves in the Milky Way galaxy with a radio telescope and discovered cosmic background radiation. Their discovery has been used as evidence in support of the “big bang” theory that the universe was created by a giant explosion billions of years ago (see cosmology). Penzias and Wilson shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics with Peter Kapitza.

George Smoot works in experimental astrophysics and observational cosmology at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (formerly Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory), where he has been since 1970. He is most famous for his research on the cosmic background radiation, thought to be the relic of the intense heat of the early Big Bang.

In April 1992, George Smoot made the announcement that the long sought variations in the early Universe had been observed by the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) DMR (Differential microwave radiometer) team that he led. NASA's COBE satellite mapped the intensity of the radiation from the early Big Bang and found variations so small they had be the seeds on which gravity worked to grow the galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters seen in the universe today.

George Smoot's research group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is titled the Cosmic Microwave Background Astrophysics Research Group.

P.S. Sorry from the copy and paste job. Staight from wikipedia.

So these guys support the "Big Bang" and Comology in general?

And you want to throw your intellectual lot in with them? Sorta...? ...Sorta?

The Big Bang theory is certainly tricky - really, I guess, you had to be there....

I'm not quite making sense of this post, so bear with me...

Yes

This is where I loose you. Atomic theory explains the functionality of the atom, but not the origin of it.

😕 ??? I recognise this from the Bible somewhere. 😛
