Creationist Should Dismiss Genesis Quickly

in your earlier post you seemed to be under the impression that genesis and science were somehow compatible .

however, the truth is the two are not reconcilable at all.

Physical complexity. Not informational complexity.

Information is held by something physical. CPU's must have more physical complexity to do more work. Hard drive (or flash, SSD, SAN, NAS, take your pick) become more pysically complex as they hold more information and perform more task.

What is your definition of complexity? Physical complexity refers explicitely to things that are connected and interact. Random distribution would at least imply that there are ~ as many non-connected things as there are connected. More things inter-relating with each other is what "complexity" is regardless of whether we are talking about information or purely physical systems.

I'm very curious what definition of complexity you are using.

Neither a computer or a brain is more complex physically when processing information than when it is not.

Yes, they are. Again, complexity refers to inter-relatedness and connections. By any definition and use case I can come up with, there are more connections and structure when processing information when idle or with no power.

Satan, perfection, new world, and being s***ted on again

by Tenacious in

according to the bible man was created a little lower in abilities to that of angels.

this means that angels are a tad higher in regards to their perfection.

perhaps they have a word for it in the spirit realm as we mere mortals do not.

That’s why I’m convinced that God doesn’t create evil beings.

Why do you hate the Bible?

Isaiah 45:7 - I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Caedes, what is at the fringes of the natural universe gives us indications what is outside of it

"Natural universe" is a meaningless term. We can't see the fringes of the universe.

The movement, radiation that signals that all that matter has disappeared, out of the universe into a black hole, leaving only it's effects.

That has nothing to do with your claims or the cosmic background radiation.

time stands still in these conditions, and you can not be part of the universe if you do not paricipate in its movement through time.

Math suggests spacetime dilation would be at a maximum. Spacetime flow for observers in different frames of reference would change. In any event, time would most certainly not "stop", whatever that means.

Remember that we live in a fabric of spacetime that is moving, expanding, and black hole matter has left us.

What does that even mean, "black hole matter has left us"? Left who? Gone where?

I know Black holes have nothing to do with the genesis account, but they are part of the ongoing saga of the universe's development, points where time stands still again, because it was so there so dense, so energetic, fast again.

That sentence makes as much sense as saying "derpa derpa wharrrgrrbl".

No it isn't. Data is alignment of magnetic particles. The particles are always there, representing some kind of information, regardless of how much of its space is occupied by coherent "data" stored there deliberately by humans.

Complexity doesn't refer to the number of bits that can have a 1 or a 0 set. It refers to systems or parts that have relationships and interact with other systems or parts. Random bits on a drive are not interecting with with anything nor do they have any structure to do so. There is no definition of complexity that would even suggest that sectors on a drive with a random value are equally as complex as a drive holding a database or files.

Caedes, I agree, and did not say there is a place OUTSIDE time, to the contrary: There was time before there was a place, like space.

Time and space are the same thing.

I wish too, that black holes did not exist

If they didn't, you wouldn't. You're wishing for your own non-existence.

Scientists Should Not Dismiss Genesis So Quickly

nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.

the debate.

for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.

Viviane

So the claim that God created Heaven and Earth matches with science.

Utterly ridiculous nonsense.

This word denotes a sphere not a circle,which could still be flat.

No, it doesn't.

Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.

So... God really is just a guy hoping things don't go wrong and, if they do, can't fix it? Not much of a god you have there.

Im thinking that this site may not be for me. I was looking for a site with fading JW's who need help deciding.

That exactly what you have. The problem is that you are looking only for helping them decide on what you want, not one where everyone can weigh in and call bunk on your beliefs also.

I did not intend to argue creation and evolution.

You started the thread. What did you think would happen?

A young girl shouts down a Street preacher

got to admit that when some of these screechers get wound up, ive felt the same as the young lady.. http://www.9news.com.au/world/2014/11/06/08/34/girl-tells-street-preacher-to-shut-up.

I do, however, invariably feel irritated by anyone who assumes they know how I am feeling whether on the internet or in person. So in the spirit of the video, ZIP YOUR LIPS! SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE!

I know that won't offend you because I'm a courageous female feminist standing up for my opinion and that makes it all good, no matter if a bunch of other people might find it rude!

It doesn't bother me in the least to see you stoop that low. Your choice to become what you found distasteful.
