First law of thermodynamics vs God vs Big Bang

by EndofMysteries in

first law of thermodynamics, that energy cannot be created or destroyed but changed from one form to another.

how does that fit in with god and the big bang to you?

does it make one make more sense then the other to you?

Bohm,

Eden one is my non-evil twin with another picture of Hobbes for an avatar! Easy mistake to make though.

As a lowly engineer I will bow to your superior knowledge of physics, Hopefully the rest of my explanation is sound though?!

How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?

in addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.

i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.

this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.

Perhaps it's just annoying because we are so much better informed!

Fisherman,

I presume that you are trying to suggest that I don't know the meaning of the word documented, however, I was responding to the use in your initial post of the words documenting and reporting. The use of these words is intended to give the reader of your post the impression that the bible writers were unbiased reporters. The facts are that the bible writers were not reporters hence the widely dissimilar writing styles throughout the book. You are also ignoring the vast amount of time that the stories presented were passed on verbally and the length of time between the events happening and the time of writing.

I assume your difficulty in comprehending this is perhaps understandable given the poor writing, woeful grammar and incomprehensible sentence structure in the second part of your response to me.

There are a number of differences in the way that Newtonian physics and relativity work. Newtonian physics works very well for physics as we experience them here on earth, so much so that they are still used by engineers and physicists the world over. However they start to break down when you look at the application in scenarios that involve large gravitational speeds and velocities approaching the speed of light, hence planetary orbital calculations using purely Newtonian physics are not as accurate as calculations that take account of relativity.

The best example of relativity in the modern life is the fact that Newtonian physics would not predict any difference between a clock here on earth and one in orbit. Relativity predicts that the clock nearer to a large gravitational field would run more slowly. In order for GPS satellites to work the on-board clocks have to take this difference into account.

Newtonian physics also does not take into account the fact that all motion is relative and that the speed of light is constant no matter what the observer is doing. If for example you were in a spacecraft travelling at the speed of light and shone a torch out of the front window then Newtonian physics would say that you would see a beam of light out of the window. Relativity states that the beam of light would travel at the speed of light, the same as your spacecraft and hence never leave the torch.

I hope that is a sufficiently simple explanation of the differences, I have assumed that is the question you were trying to ask when you referred to the tangencies between the two. I ought to point out that tangencies actually implies the common points between the two theories but I tried not to read too much into your use of the word!

Since you so very kindly allowed me to believe what I like about your posts I will also assume that I am free to state that you are very badly in need of a remedial class in English comprehension and a good dictionary.

The second link states it does have HDMI? That is a bit confusing

How do you reconcile Newtonian physics with Einsteinian with Quantum Mechanics? Are Bible documentations of "miracles" an other Bible reported phenomenons facts or myths? And how do you know?

Fisherman

Newtonian physics is already reconciled with relativity. At the moment physicists cannot reconcile quantum mechanics with relativity, anyone able to do so would be on their way to pick up their Nobel prize. That is one of the biggest unsolved problems in physics today.

Since the bible is a collection of stories handed down by word of mouth I would not describe them as "documented", I presume you have played Chinese whispers at some point? It is a natural part of being human to exaggerate our stories to make them more interesting. With this in mind I can easily discount biblical "miracles" as simply tall tales that have grown into supernatural tall tales over time. If you don't have empirical evidence and it sounds too good to be true then it is too good to be true. It is also worth remembering that the bible was written much later in time than the events described.

Mash,

I did think about that but figured I spend too much time being a pain in the arse to do much justice to a fluff piece!

I think it's amazing that the sniffer dogs can tell the difference between a Cornish pasty and a Devonshire pasty by smell alone. (for the uninitiated the only difference is that the crimp is to the side in a Cornish pasty and on the top for a Devonshire one)

As for the personally tailored search results, in my defense...nope I've got nothing.

Just a word of warning don't look up pasties on youtube as it has a whole other meaning that is not safe for work! It's a good job I have my own office now!
