Atheists and JWs are on the same footing!

by exWTslave in

atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.

jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.

interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.

Viv - I am not entirely sure why you are asking me questions. Is it possible you're motives are to be deliberately facetious? Do tell why are you asking me off topic questions?-Kate xx

You said this universe was mathematically perfect. I am just trying to understand what that means and what a mathematically imperfect universe would look like.

If it's off topic, then you shouldn't have mentioned it. If you're not sure why people ask questions, there are classes on basic conversation methods you can take. If you can't explain what it means, you clearly don't understand it and shouldn't have brought it up.

Stay Alive till '75

"stay alive till '75.

" remember that?

note: this is the year 5774 not 2014. why didn't they tell you that in 5735 (1975 ad?

Viviane

BTW, why are drugs the first thing to come up in any converstion that is out of the box?

Because it sounds like the usual ramblings of either a drug addict or mental patient.

The universe is mathematically perfect

What does that mean? What would a mathematically imperfect universe look like and why?

Design or Non-Design, finally we know, Darwin's Doubt

if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.

this is a game changer.

the bomb!.

HOWEVER it does not do a very good job of explaining how life originated.

It doesn't even attempt to address that issue. Of course it doesn't do a good job of it.

Question about dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and the eventual appearance of humans.

by pronomono in

so i was watching shark week a little while ago and i got to the episode on prehistoric sharks.

they, of course, discussed megalodon, but they also talked about other sharks that were vicious, precise hunters.

then i started thinking about other prehistoric creatures..... t-rex, raptors, etc...... all vicious animals.

Viviane

Im sure that I sound crazy to most, but there is a lot of evidence of cross-breeding in Ancient Liteature, and it is my opinion that many of the Anomalies found in Animal Life exist because of 1,000's of years or Cross-Breeding and experimentation.

Just crazy? No.

Is there Such a Thing as TIme

by givemejustalittlemoretime in

the present moment is real.

however much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present.

the next second of your life is the future.

Viviane

Time looks like it is real in either case since it marks things off. So maybe we have to wonder if our own consciousness is real.

Spacetime is very real and very much a thing. There are various thoughts around the arrow of time, that's it's tied to the expansion of spacetime, that's it's a measure of the increase of entropy in the universe and it will functionally cease to exists with universal entropy reaches 1, that it's related to the non-reversible nature of wave-function collapse or that there is an interelation between entropy and quantum decoherence that yet to be discovered.

No one knows, exactly. Still a mystery.

light has a speed, but also a permanent vector, it comes from the past no matter the direction.

If, as you claim below, it's not a thing, logically it's nothing. How does it have properties?

we send it , or its particles, in the zero-length moment, but it is always vectored into the future.

Again, it can't be an "it" if it's nothing.

Things move through the dimensions.

Time is not a thing.

Spacetime is is something.

about whether "c" is the speed of light. Perhaps this might help. The physical constant for light speed in a vacuum is nearly 300,000 km/sec. But in media in which it exhibits refractive properties ( bent), the velocity of light is reduced, if I remember correctly, factpred by the cosine of the angle of refraction. Maybe this has something to do with Viviane's argument?

Nope. The debate isn't about whether c is the speed of light. Of course it is.

But that's not what John Mann said.

What ever you may believe c is, it is definned by the scientific community as a constant in a vacum on this planet that is equal to 2.998x10^8 metres per second. Seconds are a measurement of time are they not ?

No.

If you can not accept this fact I suggest you write a new set of laws to explain the basics of physics and chemistry.

You can suggest it. Cutting and pasting formulas from wikipedia doesn't make time magically separate from space. You may as well just as incorrectly say that space appears on both sides of the equation.

There is time dimension as there are wideness and heightness.

3 dimensions of space (x,y,z) and 1 dimension of time (t).

You are mixing dimension about an object and conflating it with properties of the thing the object is in. It's like saying algae is a property of a fish.

Yes it is.

It is not, nor will it every be. You're only off by one word.

Viviane Post 1302 - If time is not a function of c, the velocity of light, how do you measure velocity without using time?

c is not the velocity of light.

E = m c^2 implies time, because velocity is the derivative of distance with respect to time.

It doesn't imply time. It utterly requires spacetime.

eah I think time is implied in E=mc^2.

Einstein did a very good job discovering that space=time and gravity=acceleration.

Spacetime. It's simple a ratio of the how much of one property of spacetime is happening. It would be just as valid (and incomplete) to say it implies space.

We feel gravity to the center of the planet because the acceleration in time dimension.

Since you mentioned Einstein, it's described as a curvature of spacetime. Equationally, it's the same as free-fall acceleration in realtion to non-intertional observers. There is no such thing as a "time" dimension. There is spacetime.

It is the body's movement THROUGH time that changes. perhaps you can deal with that model?

Through spacetime.
