Re: Not a Hypothisis
But the rest of you's theory has been shown to have an unfalsifyable origin.
No, it hasn’t. I can not begin count the number of times it has been written in the BB posts that there is no working model prior to T=10-43. If you’re saying we can’t falsify our declaration of ignorance I can’t but agree with you, but I’ll not call it a theory.

Got that part. How was it distributed?
By work of the omnipotent designer as I've already explained if you would bother to read it.
Sorry: In what pattern was it originally arranged? Was the energy clumped up in gamma ray balls, UV noodles or IR sauce?
To save time I replaced the empty bits of your phrasing with blah, blah, blah. There was simply no content left in your point #3.

Re: Not a Hypothisis
So summing up:
1) The "theory" you oppose to your views to does not exist (as Son Goku told you). It is your invention
2) The "problems" you claim that this rival theory has don't make sense. Either they are more of your inventions (making it a complete strawman) or they don't apply.
3) Although you assert that your theory has no problems with the laws of thermodynamics you seem to rely on violations of the 2LoT (which you obviously don't understand even in the basic form).
4) You seem to confuse "unknown" with "unfalsifiable" and even suggest that if the origin of something is known we can't tell if it is happening or not.
5) It seems that your "theory" also relies on rejecting General Relativity, although you offer no alternative.
If you wish to indulge in idle and uninformed musings that is your business. But why present them as ideas to be seriously considered ?

You did not just say that, did you? Are you seriously claiming that there is no accepted age of the universe?

Incorrect. So far, you have given absolutely no mathematical construct to describe your claims. It would be helpful if you could provide the physics involved.
quote:
My definition of space is unbounded area in which everything exists including particles, photons, gravity; everything.
You clearly don't understand what the term "unbounded" means, then. Current cosmological theory has an unbounded universe, too.
It is, however, finite.
You do understand the difference between finite/infinite and bounded/unbounded, yes?
quote:
Imo, the area/space does not have properties capable of expansion.
And yet, we can directly observe space expanding right in front of our eyes. What do you think the red-shift is evidence of?
And we have done experiments upon the inflation of the universe, too. You do understand the difference between inflation and expansion, yes?
quote:
Rather via work, ID increases or decreases the distance between things in the universe according to the plans and purposes of the designer/manager of the universe.
That's a direct violation of known physics.
If you're going to invoke magic, simply say so.
Why are you continuing to ignore direct questions, Buzsaw? I have asked you quite nicely to provide the physics behind your claims. What are you waiting for?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Buzsaw responds to Taz:

quote:
Buzsaw, lately you seem to have been flinging around the laws of thermodynamics a lot. Would you like to write out for us the mathematical expressions to show us just how exactly do the laws of thermodynamics support your proposed hypothesis? Feel free to spend as much time as you need looking up the laws themselves.
FYO my classroom education amounted to a high school diploma and three semesters at Bob Jones University. That does not mean my ongoing education ended there. At 72 I stop learning when my mind fails or when I die.
That isn't an answer. You are making statements about thermodynamics which you then immediately contradict. Therefore, we have to back up and determine just what you think the various laws of thermodynamics say. No, not the pithy phrases that people come up with (First Law = You can't win, Second Law = You can't break even, Third Law = You can't even quit the game) but the actual, physical definitions.
quote:
Imo the more relevant thing we need from you is for you to address the specific items which I've posed in this thread.
They have been addressed. So far, you've ignored them. Both PaulK and I have come up with very specific violations of your claims with regard to established physics (general relativity, expansion of the universe, second law of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, etc.) You've done your best to avoid them.
It would help if you would actually respond to the violations of known physics your claims require.
quote:
If you think math is required for any particular statement of mine, please explain in detail specifically why math is required for a reasonable response to it.
Because if you're going to claim the universe is eternal, you're going to have to explain why things have not reached equilibrium since all physical reactions reach equilibrium in a finite time. This means you have to actually show how the equations are wrong and what they have overlooked. You can calculate reaction rates to determine how the reaction takes place. If you're going to say that they don't complete, then where in the chemistry have things broken down? What has been overlooked?
Be specific.

But that doesn't explain anything. It isn't a mechanism, there is no mathematical formula explaining how it happens.
F'rinstance, one of the biggest issues with regard to gravity is exactly how it manages to function at a distance. Einstein's solution to this was not to simply say, "God does it." That doesn't actually explain anything. Instead, he developed a mathematical model that describes a warpage of space. Light still travels in a straight line, but gravity warps space so that what is considered "straight" doesn't look that way.

I am also told that GR breaks down at this point and can not tell me what if anything is before T=10-43.
You are the mathematician so what does the math say?
I am not a mathematician but I heard somewhere figures don't lie.
If the numbers break down and can't tell us anything then I must conclude there is an absence of anything at T=0.
Anything between T=0 and T=10-43 is unfalsifiable.

Even if they are born and die all of the time, there is still a finite number at any given point in time. I can in no way count the number of grains of sand in the world, and the number is always changing, but there is still a finite number of grains of sand in the world.

No, you must not conclude anything. You do not know my middle initial; from that, conclude my middle name.
Anything between T=0 and T=10-43 is unfalsifiable.
Please, you’ve got to explain this to me:
In the philosophy of science all parts of a valid hypothesis must be falsifiable. If it weren’t we’d not be able to tell if it were real or rubbish.
For a hypothesis to be falsifiable it has to have certain characteristics, not the least of which is having been made. As no hypothesis has been made for the time interval 0T10-43 no hypothesis can be falsified.
To what end do you move by constantly repeating that a nonexistent hypothesis is not falsifiable; which, thought true, is exceedingly trivial?

Re: Re-NitPick
How many of those deities told us the stars were innumerable? Science has a lot of guesses.
Nobody seriously believes the stars are innumerable. Too many for a human being to count? Sure. Not too many for a computer.
But aside from that, it's hardly rocket science to look at the sky and say "gee whiz, there sure are a lot of stars up there. i don't think I could count them all." You're making a gigantic leap in assuming that your religious text's flowery language and poetry somehow corresponds to science.
How many of those deities told us the universe was stretched out. That is expansion. Treated as a scientific fact.
Again, you're making a huge leap in assuming that the flowery language and poetry of the Bible somehow correspond to scicne, [i]especially[/]i in light of how many things the Bible gets flat wrong.
How many of those deities told us the earth was going to melt with fervent heat one day. Scientific prophecy. Sun going to swallow the earth.
Biblical prophecies don't bear any resemblance to an actual red-giant type of event. They refer to what could conceivably be nuclear war or volcanic eruptions of meteor impacts, but not stellar expansion. Hell, the timescale is way off - I thought it was supposed to happen soon, ICANT, not in a few billion years.
And once again, you're making that gigantic leap in asuming that poetry and flowery language refer to science.
How many of those deities told us there were wandering stars? Science calls the one leaving the Milky Way outcast.
I'm not even sure of the passage you're referring to with this one. But then, the planets look like stars from Earth without telescopes, and they "wander." Hell the night sky rotates seasonally due to the changing perspective from Earth. Your particular religion is hardly the only group to have noticed this - there were entire belief systems arranged from observations of stellar movement.
Once again you imply "the Bible knew it first." Once again, you're wrong. As usual.
How many of those deities told us there were stars that had gone dark and remained dark forever? Science calls them a white dwarf.
There are many reasons stars go dark, ICANT. Black holes would be one of them. But again, stoneage observers can notice that they can't find a given star for any number of reasons - such as the object not being an actual star at all.
And besides that, you're still making that giant leap and assuming that flowery language somehow corresponds to modern science.
How many of those deities told us all the nations would be able to see dead bodies lying in the streets in Jerusalem? Science calls that technology.
Once again with the massive logical leaps.
The deity Buzsaw is talking about told all those things thousands of years ago.
The authors of the Biblical texts wrote poetry and flowery language and vague references to events that can be interpreted in hundreds of different ways.
You compeltely ignore that half of even what you just said is completely wrong. The stars are not innumerable, for one.
But how about the "pillars of the Earth?" What about the "circle of the Earth?" What about referring to pi as being equal to 3?
What about global Floods and 6-day Creationism and a 6,000-10,000-year-old Earth?
In one sentence you claim that the Bible predicts science, and in the next you'll deny that the Bible has any inaccuracies. You aren't even self-consistent, ICANT. Does the Bible agree with science or not?
As for how many of the thousands of other religions have made similar descriptions, I have no idea - I don't make a serious study of thousands of religion's ancient poetry, scouring flowery language for things that might bear a hint of resemblance to something in modern science. Do you?
Or do you only look in your Bible for such loose connections, and disregard all others?
You're using typical apologetics, ICANT, and trying to smash the evidence to fit your pre-made conclusions. That only works when you're preaching to the choir.
God Bless,

Hell the night sky rotates seasonally due to the changing perspective from Earth. Your particular religion is hardly the only group to have noticed this - there were entire belief systems arranged from observations of stellar movement.
Once again you imply "the Bible knew it first." Once again, you're wrong. As usual.
Rahvin. I just want to back you up on this one.
I haven't any idea what ICANT's talking about either, but he's not the only one making an asinine assertion of this magnitude re: stars.
There's a girl on CARM arguing -- with all seriousness -- that there are no planets, only stars. Because the bible said so.
It appears that evolutionists don't how stars generate light because they laughed at me when I said that scientists claim that stars reflect light. So I though I'd illuminate them. (Forgive the pun).
How do you know? Afterall, pluto isn't considered a planet any more. So what defines a planet as opposed to a star? So sorry, until we visit stars, scientists no more know what they're made of than they know how many stars there are in the universe. All we know is that the light from all of them is the same.
How do you know? Sorry, but the sun looks a lot different than any star. The light from the stars looks exactly the same as the light from Mars. So scientists are wrong again, as usual.
Sorry but whether or not you call a planet a star or not, it still gives off light. So again, where does the light come from? And evasions & attacks will be ignored.
So when astronomers look into their telescopes, do they see balls of fire in the sky far away? Sorry ergaster, but there's no way to prove that the stars generate their own light. It's all speculation. And that's why the astronauts looked for signs of life on the moon and on Mars. Because they didn't know what they were made of until they got there. And it's the same with the stars.
So again, which science do you put your faith in? Today's science or tomorrow's science that corrects today's science? Or how about the scientists of the future who correct tomorrow's science?
So because scientists change their minds all the time, then those who believe them will look as foolish as they do. But God's truth never changes. Never.
God supports my theory and he's the only one who matters. The problem is that humans are subject to influence by Satan which is why no human is omniscient.
So I rely on God's word for the truth. And God said nothing about planets. In Genesis he said he craeted the stars, sun, and moon, to give light to the earth. So giving stars names like planets and planetoids is no different than naming one's children. It still doesn't change the make-up of the stars nor where they receive their light.

Re-Stars
Hi Rahvin,
Rahvin writes:
Nobody seriously believes the stars are innumerable.
If I remember correctly you told me that the pea sized universe that began to expand was like a balloon with ants or dots on it. If expansion is true the universe had to expand in all directions equally.
How wide is the universe? If I remember correctly the last time Percy pointed this # out to me about 3 months ago Wikipedia had 74 billion light years across. It is currently stating 93 billion light years across. That is what is visible today.
ABE I did not remember correctly it was 92 billion light years wide.
The latest estimates says that the universe is at least 156 billion light years wide.
I will use Percy's numbers. If someone with the same equipment as we have was 46 billion light years (1/2 of 74) in forward of our position, what would he be able to see?
If the balloon analogy is correct He should be able to see 46 billion light years forward.
If this was repeated approximately 289 times the person at position 289 should be able to see the point we are at.
If that was the case the balloon would have an area of 6,647 billion square light years.
I think the stars in that area would approach being innumerable.
If it is 156 billion light years wide it would have an area of 19,113 billion square light years.
Rahvin writes:
Again, you're making a huge leap in assuming that the flowery language and poetry of the Bible somehow correspond to scicne, especially in light of how many things the Bible gets flat wrong.
How about we deal with the items presented, instead of what you think is flat wrong. Unless you want to present them.
Isaiah 45:12 "even my hands have stretched out the heavens." Also Jeremiah 10:12 says "he (God) hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion.
Lots of flowers in that, but I can't find the poetry.
Rahvin writes:
Biblical prophecies don't bear any resemblance to an actual red-giant type of event. They refer to what could conceivably be nuclear war or volcanic eruptions of meteor impacts.
2Pet 3:10 (KJV) b. the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Don't sound like nuclear war or volcanic eruptions of meteor impacts to me. Looks like it disappears in a ball of fire to me.
There ain't no flowers or poetry there.
Rahvin writes:
I'm not even sure of the passage you're referring to with this one.
(KJV)Jude 1:13 wandering stars, to who is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
I called attention to a particular star called outcast that is leaving the Milky Way traveling at 1.5 million mph.
Rahvin writes:
There are many reasons stars go dark, ICANT. Black holes would be one of them. But again, stoneage observers can notice that they can't find a given star for any number of reasons
But I was not giving reasons for them going dark. I was asking for references or books from the other deities that told us there was wandering stars that would go dark forever.
What giant leap in: "to who is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever"? What flowery words, or poetry?
Rahvin writes:
Once again with the massive logical leaps.
Please explain the leaps in this.
Reve 11:8 (KJV) And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
That says these dead bodies will lay in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days. It says the kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies. It also says they that dwell earth shall see them and rejoice over them.
This was not possible until the TV Satellite system was in place. It is now possible as I watched the Gulf War on CNN.
Rahvin writes:
trying to smash the evidence to fit your pre-made conclusions.
You are the only one doing any smashing here. I gave you point blank statements from the Bible. There is no poetry there and there is no flowerly language.
I will ignore all your other rants for the time being.
God Bless,

Hi SGT,

Even if they are born and die all of the time, there is still a finite number at any given point in time.
OK I got no problem with that. Thanks for the answer.
My point was that they were innumerable. That simply means there are too many to be numbered. To number them you would have to count them. Not extimate them.
God Bless,
