A Noticed Parallelism
There is no before the Big Bang and God was not created.
BBists say that as we follow the expansion of the universe backwards we get to a point where there is no before.
IDists say that as we follow the irreducible complexities backwards we get to the original creater that was not created.
The BBists ask the IDists what created god and the IDists ask the BBists what is before the Big Bang. Neither can answer.
If we trace the complexities back to a point where no creation is required, then we can't say that all complexities must be created.
If we trace the expansion back to a point where there is no before, can we say that a current state must be from a previous one?

Re: A Noticed Parallelism
most will argue that God is the same. but by my observations, God IS
I don't believe you...
How do you know it is God?
and the proof only needs to be debated by individuals and science seriously, before they will be understood.
You seem confident... too confident.
so also, must the laws i have brought be tested.
Please link me to these laws you have brought. I don't know what you're refering too.

Re: Makes More Sense
No ordered form can exist on top of chaos without direction.
False. Salt crystals can form perfect cubes without direction.
all the elements are too ordered to have existed without direction
That's false too, although I won't refute it because basically it is an Argument from Incredulity.
So existence is a synonym for God, in that in the begining, there was intellegent energy that existed singularly, and created all that is based on faith that it was/is.
Then this god is not Christian God.
Debate the law. its sound.
While your conclusion might be sound, it is based on false premises so your conclusion is false.
Sound does not mean true.

Re: Makes More Sense
salt crystals are an ordered structure. not chaos.
Sure, but a salt solution, from where the crystals form, is without order. Order can come from disorder without any direction or intelligence needed.

Re: Makes More Sense
Your example doesn't show that. Salt obeys a design principle which is directional.
Nuh-uh

Seriously, though, what evidence suggests that salt obeys a design principle?
You can't use the order, itself, as the evidence because that is what is suggesting design and that would make the reasoning circular.
Moreover, there is every reason to think the origin of information and design stems from intelligence.
There is also every reason to think that it doesn't.

If I put salt in water to make a solution and then evaporate the water to let crystals form, those crystals can form perfect simple cubic crystalline structures all on there own without any aid at all.
Why do I need to add intellegence to the process when it works fine without any?

Re: Makes More Sense
water is an ordered structure, and salt is an ordered structure,
Salt water is not an ordered structure. Salt crystals are. We can get order from disorder.
the reaction with them both together is exactly as it should be under the condition that the two properties exist. its this complication of perfect order that shows to me a design of intended purpose.
You're wrong. You assume design, a priori, and then look for something that can seem to be designed, then you conclude designed.
There is nothing in the growing of salt crystals that suggests an intelligent designer all on its own. You have to assume design to see design and that's why its bullshit and worthless.
in no instance will you find absolute disorder maintaining order on top of it without direction.
At the end of the day, that statement really means nothing.
either A: its an ordered form, behaving as designed, or B: a chaotic or apparently chaotic form conquered by direction.
See right there in "A", you're assuming design before you even look.
but you'll not see that, because you see God as above heaven and earth. when he is a part of it.
Nope because I see god inside me as well. He'd have to be a part of it for that.
the marriage of the lamb is where God accepts man back into his body even tho we denied him here, as long as christ will speak for you. and so what does he say about denial? i cannot judge how the denial will be considered an offense for death, but I'm not ignorant of it, so i cant deny him what is him.
perhaps for some it would be better to be ignorant, but even as the story of the talents, what God says to gamble in the markets, so do i gamble the money he gave me to gamble.
I've failed to make any sense out of that mumbo-jumbo.

Re: Makes More Sense
your name would show you are a scientist and a christian.
Its true.
but you argue against creation?
Actually, I do believe that God created everything, I just think that Intellegent Design is a piece of shit.
an ordered element is order and behaves as it should for its property.
elemental tables. ordered elements with natural behaviors for its ordered form.
now, almost all of the elements we have forced into creation exist only a short time because they cannot maintain order in that form.
therefore, the elements of salt, and water, and even together apparently as one, behave as they should for the condition they exist in the natural "order"
Wow, just wow. All of that shows just how little you understand.
The funniest part is that water is not an element, but is made up of two elements: oxygen and hydrogen. But your general misunderstanding of what an element is and how they behave, and the false assertion that "almost all" of them are unstable, are also pretty funny.
if you disagree, then i cant hope for you to understand the science.
I have a Bachelor's of Science from one of the top 10 universities in the United States so I'm sure that I can understand the science.
You've just exemplified how little you understand and how much you misunderstand. Actually, I suspect that you are a young person.
But anyways, I bid you farewell. I don't feel like wasting anymore time on you.

I'm gonna be nice and try to help
then how come you cannot understand the difference between order, and disorder?
Because you are using unconventional definitions. (or just plain don't understand it)
water is an ordered structure. the elements that exist are ordered structures. if disorder, they would not hold form.
By conventional definitions, water (meaning water molecules in the liquid phase) are NOT an ordered structure and it does not hold form. Pour a glass of water out on your desk and tell me the shape of its form. Because liquids have no resistance to shear, they will not hold form. Ice, on the other hand, can hold form as it is a solid, which has an ordered structure.
The elements that exist don't have just one specific "ordered structure" (as you put it). Take carbon. If it finds itself in the ordered structure of a hexagonal crystal, then it is in the form of graphite. However, if it finds itself in a face-centered cubic structure, then it is the form of diamond.
But again, these are not the definitions that you are using.
I think by saying that water is ordered, you are meaning that water molecules have a specific molecular geometry. The are bent molecules, in the shape of a 'v', with an angle of 104.5 degrees. If that angle was off by a little, then ice would not be less dense than water (and would not float) and life on this planet as we know it would be impossible.
It seems that you are trying to make an Anthropic argument.
The problem is that you don't know what you are talking about. And on top of that, you are acting like you think that you know what you are talking about and are condescending to people who try to correct you.
Nobody is going to give you the time of day if you don't respect them and act like you are going to try to learn something.

In Message 77 you wrote:
quote:
an ordered element is order and behaves as it should for its property.
This definition is a tautology. you could have said as much saying that a red item is an item that is red
quote:
now, almost all of the elements we have forced into creation exist only a short time because they cannot maintain order in that form.
Radioactive elements don't have shorter half-lives because they cannot maintain order. Again, you are misusing (probably misunderstanding) the terms and then trying to act like you know what you are talking about.
Basically your argument comes down to that god must exist because things are they way that they are. You haven't really brought anything profound to the table.

Re: for CS
so also, is the existence of this universe and everything in it, dependant on the condition that sustains it. this condition is existence itself (God) and without that..nothing is.
so you ARE making an Anthropic Argument?
Here is the wiki page on the criticisms of the Anthropic Principle.
Enjoy.
so also, is the existence of this universe and everything in it, dependant on the condition that sustains it. this condition is existence itself (God) and without that..nothing is.
I also want to point out, again, that while I don't have a problem with you defining your god in this way (as the sum of existence in the condition that everything is dependent on the condition that sustains it), but when you define god like this, you are no longer talkin about the Christian God, who has been anthropomorphized throughout the Bible.

Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

Re: for CS
If you're going to quote the Bible, then at least QUOTE THE BIBLE....
quote:
Luke 4:4
4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
mark 13:31
31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
mark 12:27
27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
1 Corinthians 8:5
5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Mathew 23:19
19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
What do any of those passages have anything to do with our discussion?
i fail to understand why you don't see that without God nothing has been, nor will be at the end.
What makes you think that I don't see that?
it is true that man has separated themselves from God, and God gave us medicine to eat and drink, but God did not leave anyone or anything, but sustains it til the time appointed that only that which is of him will be retained.
So what?
All this has nothing to do with the failure of your argument.

I take god on faith, as he desires it. Its stupid to try to prove that god exists. Plus, if you did, then you wouldn't have faith anymore.
ID is a piece of shit. That's what your going to see me arguing. It is bad science and even worse theology.

Re: for CS
by your words, you attack me in anger
Nope, there's no anger.
do you call yourself a christian, and call christ lord, but do not do what he Say's?
How would I know that it was HIM saying it. If a martian dressed up like Jesus and told you to jump off a bridge, you would just do it?
that you do not understand science, nor the words of the Lord, because you try to separate the two.
Well fuck you too. Actually though, I don't separate them.
no law of science can contradict God, therefore, being science established truths, that science is in harmony of God and God in harmony of science, because one begets the other.
therefore also: neither can any religion or law in religion contradict science which would be a contradiction of God, from whom science was established by.
An easier way to say this is that science investigates how god did things... just sayin'
But, ya know, whatever dude.

as you see it, so be it.
Good then.
So, I better not see you posting anything like this ever again:
quote:
the proof are these laws many have sen i posted them, some tried to debate them, all failed to prove any law wrong, and no one can prove them wrong, because they came from God because he loved me, and science is no longer a reason to deny him. but proof of him.
...
The laws of science that prove God:
Under this basis: you are. not maybe are. not could be are. but do, exist:
Energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, but changed from form to form.
No ordered form can exist on top of chaos without direction. (remember direction.)
Something cant come from nothing. (it can "appear" to, but impossible to "litteraly" not come from nothing.(because we are)
This means: although we cant see the energy of God, nothing outside of energy is real. that is reality.
Existence had to be established, and all the elements are too ordered to have existed without direction.
So existence is a synonym for God, in that in the begining, there was intellegent energy that existed singularly, and created all that is based on faith that it was/is.
Debate the law. its sound.
Because now we all know that that has been refuted.
