Can you answer this?(scientific question)

here is and interesting question which touches on some points raised in other posts.. can things really move?.

if you haven't thought about it before it may seem like a stupid question, but i'll try to explain.. one of the principles of quantum physics is that things do not get infinatly smaller.there is a granuality to objects so at some point things don't get any smaller.. the same holds with energy if you take energy out of a system you can not go on forever .eventually you hit absolute zero were every thing is still.. in the other direction , the speed of light is an absolute limit.. so what happens if you make smaller and smaller movements eventually you would stop.but what is the next smallest movement between being stopped and moving?.

if we put some figures on it it may make it easier.. if to be stoped is 0 and the next possible amonut of movment is 1 you could not move say 1/2 as that is smaller than 1 and if you could keep dividing forever like this you would never reach absolute standstill.. so like the particals in the universe movment has to be granular as well.made up of definate jumps though very tiny.. if this is the case then there is a problem how does one object , if we imagine the smallest to be a quark jump from one place to another is it technicaly the same object or a new one ?.

sleepy's question:

...if we imagine the smallest to be a quark jump from one place to another is it technicaly the same object or a new one ?
If this is true it raises so very interesting questions as to the nature of things the stucture of the universe and time itself.
So when we move are all our parts really moving or are they jumping from one place to another?.

Easy answer: They are "jumping" (it's not quite correct, but it matches with the idea you have) as long as the "particals" are not observed by any type of sensorium. (Even a subatomar structure can serve as "sensorium). Note: if there is no sensorium to detect (or "observe) TIME, then there is no TIME objectively existent too! And a "distance" is a function of time, you know...
Note: this fact is the reason why physicists had to use "quantum theory" to explain and define the fundamentals of atomar and subatomar structures...

I think the figure of 6 million will survive is way too liberal. It should be more like 1 million...

no, gambler, this isn't: because consequently God had to re-install the hell he has abolished meanwhile..lol

take it easy, gambler. YHVH/JHWH is a kind and merciful God. And most of all: He is sane and not insane...

The law of the land and God's law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

Huchhhhh, thats dangerous.
What if "new light" drives them to the opinion, they we have to obey more to God than to the "law of the land" ...;-( --- back to the "roots" - and if some elders come to the view that I'd be possibly an apostate...

No, Eric, forget it... forget it

Amazing. I will go to check this in my old WT-literature.

Do the Math Erich. 6 million JWs. 6 billion inhabitants on planet earth. JWs are 0.1% of the earth's population. The other 99.9% are not, and according to your beliefs, must be destroyed at Armageddon

Sorry, no biblical statement or message supports this view.

In contrary:
If one watches the social, economical and political processes here on earth during the last decades, one must come to the opinion, that God let the things happen on in a matter that they do not "escalate" to much.

If he would not have done this, armageddon already would have come long ago - for many reasons! Look at the collapse of the UDSSR and other communist states! I'm sure he is willing to help most of all people to survive !

Please do not throw all JW's into the same pot.

I am JW more than 16 yrs and I never have felt "Schadenfreude" regarding those people not surviving armageddon... Most of my friends too. We do not believe that 99,9% of all people will die. Nonsense. Totally.

JW's shall be bootstraps-follower of Jesus Christ. As you surely know, Jesus never had felt Schadenfreude during his whole life (in contrary, he wept about Jerusalem's fall); but his enemies though!

JT:

Don't forget: You have been a "true org-servant" in high position during many many years. Why didn't you leave earlier when you saw
"Schadenfreude" and unbiblical behavior? Why didn't you discuss this topic with D. Sydlik or G. Loesch ??

My theory about the meaning of the name YHVH/JHWH has nothing to do with hidden Thora code or Jewish kabbala mystics. It is exclusively based on scientific fundamentals, on metamathematics, propositional calculus and epistemology, and in addition, on the physical consequences if one has auto-adaptation, self-optimization and artificial intelligence based on linear time-quantizing and analyzing of sensor-signalamplitudes (see my Pat. US6172941 )

About D. Hofstadter: I read this book in the eighties, because it contains the best description of difficult meta-mathematical and logical stuff, about Goedel, Church, Turing and so on.
His opinion about AI got meanwhile overwhelmed through new cognitions which came from informatics and robotics experts esp since 1990 - 95.

Hofstadters philosophy basing on zen-buddhism etc. had no influence to my world-view at all.

If you buy Hofstadters book, please send me an e-mail that I can help you to find out the pages which are most important.

Marry Christmas Jan-evolution goes down in flames

darwin on trial is the title of a book on evolution that has ruffled the feathers of the secular scientific community.

though a christian, author philip johnson critiques evolutionary theory from a secular standpoint as he examines the philosophical games many scientists play to protect their evolutionary ideology.

johnson, a law professor at the university of california at berkeley, attacks head-on the often-heard statement that evolution is both a fact and a theory, an evolutionary dogma that has been a major source of confusion for a long time.

The main problem is that most people (sorry, reputable scientists too!) confound "auto-adaptation" and "self-optimization" behavior in biologic structures with a "type of process/concept which lead to evolution". In truth, mechanisms for

A) Self-adaptation / Self-optimization and
B) "evolution through natural selection"
are two completely different pair of shoes.

A) is
observable, provable and (even) retracable and reconstractable in empirical tests (see new results in informatics and robotics!)
Therefore, it matches with the presupposements you had pointed out in your first posting, namely (Guided by natural law, Explanatory by reference to natural law, Testable against the empirical world, Tentative in its conclusions, Falsifiable etc. etc.)

B) is neither observable (alleged, but not true), provable and retracable and reconstractable in empiric tests...

So, it indeed doesn't match to those presupposements. Easy to understand.

But note, sorry: THE SAME PRESUPPOSEMENTS ARE MISSING FOR CREATIONISM TOO !
Ergo: Neither evolution theory nor creativism are "theories". They are religion, not more and not less.

On the other side, there is a MOST deeper problem.

Scientists today know definetively HOW auto-adaptation processes and self-optimism behavior operates in biologic structures, BUT they have to deny to know it !! That's much more dirty than all dirty restrictions Johnson describes in his books! Because they are observable, provable and empiric-testable scientific facts! THEY NOT ALLOWED TO BE PUBLISHED! If any scientist (reputable or not) would go to try to publish his wisdom in any scientific gazette, he would have no chance !!

Do you guess why ????

BECAUSE THE WISDOM HOW THESE PRINCIPLES OPERATE COULD BRING THE WHOLE EVOLUTION-THEORY-BUILDINGS IN GREATEST DANGER !!!

Yes, its incredible for most of all who will read these lines. But nevertheless, it's true!

To view it as an absolute fact is in my opinion and in your words "an intellectual mistake" and a perfect example of "shortsightedness."

No, that description is part of a unified scientific theory, and is absolutely consistent and provable.

If you do not believe me please go to your university and show it to a mathematics-, logics- epistemology- or physics expert. He will soon prove that all content of my work is provable and status of the newest results of international science. Besides, read the book "Goedel, Escher, Bach" written by D. Hofstadter. This could be of help for better understanding.

Oh yes: I am more open-minded than you may imagine it.
