Jim Al-Khalili in his book "Paradox" made the following statement on page 148.
"Both our future and our past -indeed all of time must exist together and are all equally real" He also concluded on page 149, "Time is like a DVD movie in which one can jump around."
Al-Khalili goes on to say that there would be no such thing as free will if this is all there was to the universe because of the fact that past present and future all exist and be equally real."
He proposes a solution to this paradox on page 151 and 152. The quantum multiverse. "An infinite number of parallel universes all piled on top each other. And every time a choice is made you are thrown into that universe that looks exactly the same except for that one different choice that you made.
Question does this help the problem of free will?
There are only 2 possible solutions that can happen here.
1. All the alternative universes have to exist there for their past present and future also have to exist.
This solution only exacerbates the creation problem. Not only would our universe have to be created but every other universe almost infinite number of universes would have to be created.
2. We are all God's and every decision we make creates a new universe. The universe that we all perceive we are in right now is nothing more than someones good decision that they made since Earth Science guy is in this one.
This also brings into question what exactly is a universe if they can be created by the thought of so many beings.
As this options is thought through absurdity soon finds its home.
The only answer to a universe in which we perceive to find ourselves is a a universe in which God created every point on the timeline at the same time. This would give everyone the free will they desire and God the Sovereignty that He says that He has in His word.
Conclusion the only answer to this universe is Yahweh.
Yawheh is the only solution for a rational universe.

Both of the events you mention are critical to star formation. Without these two events stars cannot form. So how are you saying they can occur without supernovas?They provide material for the interstellar medium, and produce shockwaves to stir the gas cloud around.

What about the universe is rational?
Checkmate.
You need to explain position. Can you describe how you believe the universe is not rational?

Re: Yawheh is the only solution for a rational universe.
Post #35Stars can from without the two events mentioned (well it's just one event isn't it, a star going supernova produces both of the things I mentioned.) What is critical is not supernova explosions, but what they provide. Star can from without supernovas quite simply because the two critical elements: matter and movement of gas cloud occur without supernovas.EarthScienceguy wrote: Both of the events you mention are critical to star formation.

[strike]Population III stars aren't supposed to have heavier elements.
Anthropic principle invalidate causality, physical laws and constants.
The high density of Mercury cannot be explained.
Mercury shouldn't have a magnetic field.
Star cannot form without supernovas.[/strike]
Don't you think a little bit more preparation before you serve up these easy wins for your opponents would be in order? I mean there are plenty of unresolved problems with our current cosmological models, why not bring those to the table instead these ones that doesn't require anything more google to answer?

Wow!
Make sure you document otherwise your statements are not really believable.

Does it matter who say it? We believe it because we have empirical evidence to back it up.Who said this and why do they believe this to be the case?
Disagree, how? I don't know where you got that impression from, neither of you link indicated that supernova are the only source of matter or turbulence.Here are two articles that disagree with your assessment.

Once stars form, their winds blow material into the interstellar medium (ISM). More material is fed back into the ISM when massive stars die in supernova explosions. Crucially, the stellar feedback replenishes and sustains the ubiquitous turbulence and, with it, star formation itself. Turbulence helps initiate the formation of stars, which feeds material and energy back into the ISM and drives further turbulence. But large-scale dynamical processes, such as the shear induced by galactic rotation and the accretion of gas from outside the galaxy, also drive turbulence. In the turbulence-regulated picture of star formation, it is important to identify and understand the various drivers.

Crucially means of vital importance
