[QUOTE="James Redford, post: 56541979, member: 251810"] As Prof. Frank J. Tipler points out in his TEDx presentation, the known laws of modern physics (i.e., General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and the Standard Model of particle physics) are simply special cases of classical mechanics (i.e., Newtonian mechanics, and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation). For the details on that, see the following articles: * Frank J. Tipler, "The Obama-Tribe 'Curvature of Constitutional Space' Paper is Crackpot Physics", September 20, 2008. [url]http://ssrn.com/abstract=1271310[/url] * Maurice J. Dupré and Frank J. Tipler, "General Relativity As an Æther Theory", arXiv:1007.4572, July 26, 2010.

[url]http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.4566[/url] Science and Christianity have been closely intertwined since the birth of science. A myth was developed in the late 19th century by antitheistic supporters of Karl Marx and Charles Darwin that science and religion are mortal enemies and polar opposites. Both the university system and the field of natural science as a systematic discipline are the inventions of Christianity. The Christian Weltanschauung was a unique develpment in the history of thought, since it held that God is rational and that (unlike in, e.g., Judaism or Islam) the mind of God could be better known through the systematic study of His creation--as opposed to the arbitrary and capricious gods of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It was this change in worldview which made systematic study into the physical world possible. Jesus Christ founded the only civilization in history to pull itself out of the muck, and along with it the rest of the world. For much more on this, see the below article and book by Prof. Thomas E. Woods, Jr.: "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization", LewRockwell.com, May 2, 2005 [url]http://www.lewrockwell.com/woods/woods40.html[/url] How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization (Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 2005).

For these men, their scientific investigations were driven by their desire to better know the intellect of God. [/QUOTE]
