I was just listening to a lecture on CD about the decline of science under the Third Reich, and it was mentioned that Hitler was a firm believer of a theory that the universe was created from ice orbiting a large sun. He apparently built a observatory dedicated to the research of this and the...

April 2002 issue. It is a posed theory by Alan Guth, starting on page 33. The article is entitled, "Guth's Grand Guess". "....Big Bang....saying where babies come from is like saying babies come from maternity wards..." "All matter plus gravity in the observable universe equals zero. So the...

I have never heard this theory before. This is my own theory. If you have heard it before, then it is a coincidence as far as I'm concerned, because *I* never have. We are readily accepting the theory of evolution as fact...not theory. Correct? But evolution has been confined to the organic...

Atheists constantly rant about how Genesis is wrong because science has proven the universe is billions of years old. HOW DO YOU KNOW? If you are asking about evidence for the age of the Earth the appropriate section is in "Science....". Please ensure (as per your Membership Agreement) you post...

I was wondering how scientists know that the universe is expanding. I understand red-shifting, but doesn't it still take time for light to reach us? So in other words, if scientists are looking at starts right now - that are 15 billion light years away and they are red shifted - how do we...

I was having a chat on Christian message board about evolution. They said: To note on intelligent design....question. If any evolutionists in here stumbled upon a TV in the woods, what would be the first impression that comes to your mind? Would it be that the TV came about by millions of...

http://www.acsinuk.freeserve.co.uk/ This site is kind enough to put its main hypothesis at the very top of the front page: "Throughout the universe there is time. For if there was no relative time then nothing has space to move in, a reason for moving or time to even exist. At creation, there...

i was talking to someone about the shamanistic worldview rationally and about how hallucinogen abuse is just a simple anatomical reaction to an inanimate substance of atoms. He much to my surprise claimed that there is tonnes of scientific proof for the supernatural worldview, such as...

Sorry if this is a repost: http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/01-06a-05.asp ... I see ...

Once again, the cosmos was the topic of discussion with my father (I'd say I'm blessed with my relationship with him, but I don't believe in blessings). He's still arguing that it should be possible to discover the point of origin of the universe. He says that it should be possible to use the...

Hello, Has anyone heard of this "The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe"? It is the baby of a self-procaimed genius named Chris Langan. I don't trust him. The theory sounds like Creationism on steroids. He seems to have a contempt for the scientific establishment and seems like a...

I just had a thought... god definitely has a beginning and end as Universe itself has not deserved such a punishment as to having to put up with god for ever.

I was cruising the gospel kingdom website ( I had googled refute atheism) They say this refutes it! Web page One small step for God, One Giant Leap for the Antitheist by Dr. John Polkinghorne In the early expansion of the universe there has to be a close balance between the expansive energy...

Last night on NPR I was listening to them interview some people from the Chicago Tribune about their Endorsement of Bush . They read a little bit of it on air and this line stood out WTF? Do these people live on the same planet I do? Did this editorial accidentally leak into our universe...

Here is a question (that may be totally silly and useless to debate) which somehow stimulates a few (and that's all I have left) brain cells in my head. So here it is for those willing to toss it around a bit. If the universe never had and never will have any life, can it (the cosmos) be proven...

I had this debate with a friend recently. I argued that if life as we know it is common in the universe, then intelligent life is more likely to occur. Using Drake's equation, it would seem that there are most likely numerous examples of intelligent life in the universe, or at least a large...

Anyone familiar with Michael Talbot and his "Holographic Universe" notions? A fellow on another board is constantly quoting the guy. I checked Amazon's reviews, and it sounds like utter woo-woo psuedoscience, treading the same ground Fritjoff Capra did 30 years earlier with the Tao of Physics...

A very cool concept, reported in the NYT and other places. This guy proposes the aural concomitant of the big bang. The sounds are embedded in the presentation found on hi web site here

Quite an interesting article: http://slate.msn.com/id/2100715/

I've been listening to several debates recently, most notably one between Michael Shermer and Hugh Ross. The major point on the side of 'creation' in that one seemed to be that the universe is so 'finely tuned' to fall within a very small range of possible universes capable of supporting life...

Hello Folks! Its me again. I've been talking with a creationist friend of mine, and according to him, the Oscillating Universe Theory was thrown out the window in favour of a "Newtonian Heat-Death of the Universe" type of scenario. He also claims that (and I find these figures very suspicious)...

It sure seems like they're not watching the same game as everyone else: Priest apologizes for linking abuse, native culture

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase my question... The observable universe expands, like the rest of the universe. But as it does so, is there more and more of the universe in it? Specifically, if there's a galaxy currently outside of the visible universe, will we ever see it? As we look...

Let's examine existence with God... ... on second thought, let's not. See, even if we do assume that "He" does exist (for which I personally, for the avoidance of doubt, see no evidence), he's either not omnipotent or he's quite frankly not a very nice guy. Either way, not a "God" that this...

Let's examine existence without God... Without God, there is no primal-cause for existence. A primal-cause is, by definitive default, the only determining factor of existence. Such a cause has no external needs or influences in the creation of effects occuring within it. If we apply reason to...

I realize there have been a lot of threads dealing with God...the universe...how it came into being, etc. But the specific question I ask begs an answer. Science wants us to believe that it just came into being of it's own accord. Apparently it all is, just because it is. But look around you...
