Archaeology of the New Testament

[Melchizedek=Tecumseh]

Just because it never occurred to you to investigate the reasons atomic matter and structure even exist in the universe doesn't mean other people haven't investigated it.

That's got almost nothing to do with it.

Fine tuning is the framework of fundamental physical constants taking on invariant universal values, which if they all didn't converge on these precise values would mean atomic matter and structure would never have existed. I would add that the universe is curiously finely balanced between net positive energy and net negative energy, and without being balanced on this razor's edge the universe either would have flown apart so fast atomic matter and large scale structure wouldn't have coalesced, or the universe would have collapsed back in on itself within fractions of a second.

What caused the Big Bang! That's what always trips you up! A Spiritual event caused the Big Bang!

 

[Cypress]

you don't know what 'entropy' means!!

The Universe is unorganized. It is a random dust cloud!!!

Maximum entropy would be a state of thermal equilibrium and complete randomness in the universe, where all structure and complexity has been dissolved. That is not the universe we live in.

We couldn't have landed astronauts on the moon or make predictions of the next solar eclipse if velocity, momentum, and energy did not behave predictably and in accordance with universal mathematical principles.

entropy is a direction not a destination.

entropy is a direction not a destination.

All closed systems ultimately evolve towards high entropy.

If and when the universe achieves maximum entropy and thermal equilibrium, then you and your pals can holler about how the universe is completely randomized.

there are no closed systems.

there are no closed systems.

The universe as a whole is one big closed system from the viewpoint of astrophysics

no it isn't.

you don't speak for "astrophysics".

 

[Cypress]

no it isn't!!!

no argument presented. argument of the stoned.

 

[ZenMode]

YARP. Try to stay on topic at least.

You're the one that went off topic.

 

[ZenMode]

The Theory of Evolution is not sentient.
The Theory of Natural Selection is not sentient.

YOU made the erroneous statement, moron.

Your multiple opinions are noted.

How can any event cause the Big Bang? There is no Universe for such an event to take place in!

Maximum entropy would be a state of thermal equilibrium and complete randomness in the universe,

Nope. Not the meaning of 'entropy'.

Entropy is the inverse of available energy for work. The higher the entropy, the less energy available for work.
The Universe is a random dust cloud.

where all structure and complexity has been dissolved. That is not the universe we live in.

There is no structure to the Universe. It is a random dust cloud.

We couldn't have landed astronauts on the moon or make predictions of the next solar eclipse if velocity, momentum, and energy did not behave predictably and in accordance with universal mathematical principles.

There is no such thing as 'universal mathematical principles'. Buzzword fallacy.

Mathematics is created by Man.

Solar eclipses are predicted by applying Kepler's laws and by experience.

Velocity is a meaningless word by itself. Buzzword fallacy. The only way you can measure speed is by relating it to something else. There is no absolute zero speed. All 'dis is relative. Remember Einstein?

Momentum is nothing more than constant speed (no acceleration).

Energy is not a single thing. There are several forms of energy, such as light, kinetic energy, thermal energy, potential energy, etc.

 

[Into the Night]

entropy is a direction not a destination.

Entropy is not a direction or a destination.

 

[Into the Night]

All closed systems ultimately evolve towards high entropy.

All open systems do as well.

If and when the universe achieves maximum entropy and thermal equilibrium,

Already there.

then you and your pals can holler about how the universe is completely randomized.

It is completely random. It is a perfect randR generator. The Universe is a random dust cloud.

 

[Into the Night]

there are no closed systems.

Any system with a definable boundary is a closed system, NoName.

 

[Into the Night]

WRONG. The Universe is an open system. There are no known boundaries.

You aren't discussing a topic, Void.
