The Thoery of everything, science and religion

This has drifted too far from the topic of astronomy. Anyone feeling compelled to continue the religious discussion should take it to email. -|Tom|-

Well the title of this sub forum is "The Theory of Everything Science and Religion" so on that point I disagree.

In agree debating the impossible is just futile

Sharp, you are breaking nothing to me, with your logic; any figure in history could likewise be a fairy tale

Some say there was no Newton Muhammad or Bubba or Abraham Lincoln

I agree that we should let this subject die as it just leads nowhere

What I might call the theory of everything has to do with what I consider to be one of the basic components of the universe, and that is life. Nobody denies the universal existence of chemistry and physics: to that I would add life as a force of nature. It will arise wherever it has the slightest chance to do so because life already exists on a higher scale, just as chemistry and physics do.

The Milky Way has about as many stars as we have cells and there are about as many galaxies that we can see as there are stars. If the speed of gravity is the square of the speed of light, their impulses would be felt across the galaxy in tenths of seconds, just as nerve impulses are felt in our bodies. This would imply that there is at least one force even faster which would binfd the galaxies.

We call it God because it is the unknown which is the life that is larger than ourselves and to which we are somehow connected. We cannot know it because it is of a kind different than our own and we don't have the equipment for it. Perhaps we are making that equipment with the conciousness that is awakening on the internet. Web bots are already gleaning understanding that individuals cannot see.

Alan, I live in the south and I assure you that Bubba is alive and well.

The world "God" is meaningless. The originality of the humans is that they think and are able to transmit their thought. When their thought is coherent, it may be accepted by other men, and it is the start of science.
But the extension of our thought is limited by our limited brain and the complexity of the Universe.
The power of science is that it accepts that a lot of observations cannot be , at a time, explained using logic applied to simpler, previous observations. Destroying logic by the religions is a refusal of logic hardly set by the evolution of the brain of the mammals.
