Evolution, Big bang religion; no cause= no theory = religion

Post #1

Post by EarthScienceguy »

One the cornerstones of physics is the idea of causality, every event has a cause. And yet all naturalistic religions like the Big Bang religion and the evolutionary religion has its origins in uncaused events.

For example

The big bang theory does not explain how the universe was created out of nothing it simply explains what happen after that the creation event.

The evolutionary religion does not describe how life began here on earth it simply explains what happen after life already began here on earth.

And then when pressed on the issue the response is simply that they have faith that science will eventually come up with the solution. That is by definition faith. They are believing something happen that did not actually happen.

Thesis

Creation theory is a much more robust theory because it does not break the laws of physics. Every event in this universe must have a cause, if they do not have a cause they are simply a believe or a religion.

Romans 1:20

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Why should we give any credibility to what some ancient goat-herder said in Romans 1:20?
George Orwell:: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.

Can we add chaos theory to your list of things you have a problem with?

Here’s a representative sample - by no means an exhaustive list - of debates in which you’ve struggled with:

4. Problem with generating life which we see on this planet

Problem 1: No Viable Mechanism to Generate a Primordial Soup.
Problem 2: Forming Polymers Requires Dehydration Synthesis
Problem 3: RNA World Hypothesis Lacks Confirming Evidence
Problem 4: Unguided Chemical Processes Cannot Explain the Origin of the Genetic Code.
Problem 5: No Workable Model for the Origin of Life

So the problem is how does the gas cloud condense down the Jean length? Several mechanisms has been suggested the main one seems to be a shock wave from a supernova. The problem is there were no stars to produce shock waves for the population III stars. So there is no way for stars to form.

But there is a big problem with gravity.

There is still the problem of stars and galaxies older than the supposed age of the universe.

There is still the problem of a consistent 2.7 degree Kelvin temp of the CMB

There are the problems with stellar evolution in general.

What all of these ‘problems’ have in common is this: they are only a problem for someone who shackles themselves to faith-based dogma and accepts Statements of Faith like this as true. For everyone else, who doesn’t continually get stopped by this biblical roadblock to progress - but who ignores it and instead conducts actual proper science - answers to your ‘problems’ can be found.

I don’t have a problem with evolution, chaos theory, gravity, the Grand Canyon, radioactivity, Mercury, lithium, etc. I do however have a problem with Statements of Faith designed to blindfold people against the fact that what we observe of the natural universe can be wholly understood and explained by natural laws.

Simply stating: “By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record� achieves nothing positive or constructive for human progress. It does not and cannot invalidate the vast body of scientific knowledge we have and continue to amass.

I can confidently predict that as science continues to expand our knowledge in all spheres, your ‘problems’ will only increase in number if you remain on the sinking ship of scriptural relevance, rather than climbing into the lifeboat of scientific open-mindedness.
Christianity has not changed its belief system to accommodate scientific thought.

Wow, spoken like a real close minded person

No not really they are real problems in the scientific theory.

This is an incorrect statement and you sited all the times when naturalistic theory cannot explain the natural world.

I have never said anything about the scientific knowledge we have amassed. In fact, I believe the scientific knowledge we have amassed points to the need for a creator God. As we look farther and farther out into space the evidence in support of a creator God becomes greater and greater.
I can confidently predict that as science continues to expand our knowledge in all spheres, your ‘problems’ will only increase in number if you remain on the sinking ship of scriptural relevance, rather than climbing into the lifeboat of scientific open-mindedness.
That is a great quote I am going to use that. I will definitely give you credit for it. Although my ship is not the one sinking right now.

Did you know that virtually every mammal has 7 cervical vertebrae? Humans, mice, giraffes, seven. Over 5000 mammals have 7 bones in their neck. Exactly seven. Manatees and some sloths are the exceptions. The evidence of evolution is overwhelming.

"One the cornerstones of physics is the idea of causality, every event has a cause. And yet all naturalistic religions like the Big Bang religion and the evolutionary religion has its origins in uncaused events."

Cause and effect are illusions arising from incomplete information. For instance: There is a board fence with a verticle crack. A cat (It might even be Schroedinger's cat!) passes the crack. First, you see its nose, then its muzzle, it's whiskers its neck its forelimbs, then its torso, then its hind limbs, then its tail. After lots of cats (or the same one) pass the crack in both directions are you justified in concluding that the nose causes the tail?

What you have observed is not "cause and effect" but a single phenomenon in a universe arbitrarily, partially, and necessarily obscured by the availability of information limited by the ignorance of the real nature of spacetime (reality). Cats and kittens, humans and monkeys, waves and particles, are localized fluctuations of the one spacetime universe.
