  The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough

  by cofty in

  researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.

  ...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.

  scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

  Cofty,...of course the tools the human brain can devise are exactly within the capacity of human understanding ie the brain has reasoned beforehand as to why such things as you have mentioned are constructed. My point is the physical make up ie tissue, nerve, proteins all have a limit we cant go beyond it unless something is added to the mix.

  It begs the question imo that there may be "things"beyond our actual capacity of understanding.

  The spark of creation for example we can only ever investigate within the constraints of our capacity, otherwise you would have to argue our brains have limitless capacity.

  Everything in our world that we understand has a defined beginning and will ultimately end.

  The enigma of the universe/cosmos does not at our present understand seem to conform to our human rational, as we will always wonder what caused the initial spark and so on to infinity.

  Perhaps someday.

  Viviane,...A collective of Ferraris revving their heads off, will only be as good as the one engine which lasts longest.

  You would have to physically join the engines or modify to increase better performance.

  Not possible with the human brain.That capacity remains within one brain.The only difference being influence to change opinion.

  The physical make up of the brain puts the same constraints on all, otherwise we are talking supernatural which is a whole different ball game.

  Any active jws, without using the phrase "God must have..." Can you prove that Noah's ark actually happened

  i have a number of problems with the noah's ark story that i could never find the answer to in the bible and so i thought i could ask here:.

  1.how did noah get animals that are indigenous to areas he could not get to (e,g penguins, koalas, kangaroos, moose etc) .

  2.the flood supposedly happened around 4000 years ago but there is evidence of civilisation dating back a lot further.

  i love this site, i really do.

  it has helped thousands upon thousands of people to sort things out, and see ttatt.

  i would like to propose something to help with the healing process and help people become ex-exjw's, if possible.

  This site has no specific barrier(apart from the conditions we have agreed to)apart from that each one may start a topic on whatever sub they wish , if someone is interested enough they'll respond.simple really.

  You can ignore the JW, exJW stuff if you wish......but will you !!!??

  Slightly of thread, but regarding the water canopy and the earth being perfect and comfortable for gods creatures. I remember an article in the awake sorry don't have exact date probably 70s.under heading nature's radiator or akin to that describing an animal which had an inbuilt cooling system as it lived in conditions so hot tgat other creatures would not survive in.Why would it have such a system if it was created into a comfortable world for all creatures to live in.

  I think the article writer shot himself in the foot as it would seem to uphold the evolutionary process.

  Hi cofty, a bit of a cop out reply methinks.

  Who knows perhaps the 12th cent wasn't so bad, or how about some of the 12th cent benefiting from 21st cent scientific advancement for the positive.

  The human brain will always strive for answers its how we are wired, but that wiring in conjunction with the physicality of its make up must have limitations, as can be seen from some responses on this forum.My own included of course

  Yadda,...Absolutely!...Cofty,...birth of universe;complexity or simplistic...great oxymoronic? Statement can we tell which?

  What bearing on our lives, whatever happened we are all the result.Its surely more important how we exist NOW , and our dealings with our fellowman for the good.

  Love being the optimum objective.

  Science will always inquire, argue, solve, contradict.

  Creation(bring into being) by whatever method, personally I think is beyond the comprehension of the human brain.Its physical make up must have a limit no matter how clever we are.

  Best wishes to all.

  Lets all call it the greatest oxymoron of all time and that the seemingly most complicated answers are in fact the most simple.

  Where does it actually have a great bearing on us as individuals?

  If we are able to control our own destinations, what do we really want in our lives.

  For me it boils down to love for our fellow man starting with our nearest and dearest.

  If you allow anything to stand in the way of that you are inviting a life full of hurt and uncertainty.

  Best wishes to all.

  Emeth, are you seriously saying there was a cavern filled with enough water to flood the world, then the cavern was was emptied and after 40 days it filled up again?

  When you say it's peanuts for god to do, it's more likely peanuts for your brain to consider such non,..sense.

  You are clutching at straws with that reasoning.

  Obviously you are resorting to the god must have mentality and by so doing are insulting your own intelligence.

  It is an ancient story which has been proved to be an absolute impossibility.

  Only time may bring you to understand this .I hope someday you will find that clarity.

  Best wishes to you.

  Emeth,... if there is a vast cavern /reservoir, you would have to believe it did not exist around 4000 yrs ago ie before the assumed worldwide flood.

  Assuming it did exist(which if its there would be indisputable) the volume of water would already be accounted for, which would annul that argument.
