The Biblical God Incompatible With Big Bang.

In the traditional sense of General Relativity, yes, although there are many extended scenarios where this is not the case. However, I would hesitate to call them 'Big Bang' scenarios as such, even though they contain the same observed expansion and other Big Bang features (CMBR, etc). Yes, but with the same caveat as point 1. Would certainly agree to that. Huh? He does? Can I go visit then in my spacecraft? Should I be concerned if enough atheists (human or otherwise) decide to take a visit with an almighty arsenal of Planckian mega-bombs... I'm sure god will be fine, but those angels and that throne could take a beating! You'd have thought god would have learnt after that debacle with Ar-Pharazn... How many dimensions of space does God require to enable his existence? And of time? Is he 3+1 (3d space + time) by nature, or is he more the 25+1 of bosonic string theory (I've always seen fermions as the devil's invention) If god is bound to our time and he is everywhere in our universe then do bits of him get destroyed in black hole singularities? Or does he withdraw his presence - just in time? Perhaps god has never seen inside an event horizon!

You quote that and accuse the science of being meta-physical Why cannot I travel to the throne by spacecraft if the throne exists in the universe? What physically stops me? How far away is it from here? And in which direction? I'm more than familiar with the description. I can use allegorical and metaphorical scriptures to make any argument I please

All I can say, Buz, is that you have a very weird and unbelievably restrictive concept of God... and you're right: my theology is totally incompatible with your view. I won't be losing any sleep over it...

Suddenly Buz's ideas seem soooo much more sane...

I was thinking more of Sellers/Clouseau... French accent

God is spirit... end of this (exceptionally silly) discussion

I'll make the same point again. If this refers to the actual heavens, i.e. the Universe, we must be able to approach this throne, or at least the vicinity of it. What would we see? Does it orbit a star? Or is it free floating in a void somewhere? How big is it? What happens when we send a fleet of ships to investigate?

Exactly
