The moment you are not looking, God replaces your hot cup of tea with an identical, cold cup of tea. Hot things do not evolve into cold things. That is completely unbiblical.

Only if God is prepared to be a deceiver by creating an object that appears to be far older than it really is, to be made by humans instead of a God, etc and so forth.

Did you actually read beyond the first sentence? I am beginning to think you have serious difficulties parsing information, AV. Of course they do. You are believing things happen without evidence. That's called crazy.

The Qur'an is hardly good evidence to leave behind.

We see a universe with history. Which means God has made the universe to look like it has a history, even though it doesn't have one. What a crafty deceiver he is!

Well done! I was wondering when you'd get there.

The OP makes a valid point. Mach (and Einstein) spent a lot of time trying to make acceleration operate on the same level as velocities, i.e. it should be a relational property, not absolute. To some extent Einstein succeeded, but certainly not in the way he would have envisioned. There's a...

It's 26,000 light-years away. The light would have reached us 140 years ago, so we say it 'happened' 140 years ago. The light we are seeing now was released 140-years after it went bang.

So the answer is: the most recent galactic supernovae event! A mere 160 years ago.

I can't imagine it will be anything but black-hole x-ray emission from the centre of the galaxy. Previously we had inferred its existence from tracing the path of stars in tight orbit around the galactic centre, and using the very simple Laws of Kepler to calculate the mass of the inner most...

The 'wave particle duality' nonsense was clumsy and daft, and everyone knew it. Feynman gave an excellent description of how that phrase describes a state of confusion in the scientific community during the early 1900s, before quantum mechancis was fully developed. These days 'a photon is an...

Yeah, that worked. Except before I could do so, the virus would get onto my computer, and would reinfect the formatted stick... Anyway, eventually the university network got rid of it and I managed to purge it from both my computer and the stick. But what a pain!

This isn't strictly true. You can use SR with accelerating frames, or with accelerating objects, but you have to add in extra 'rules', just like you must add in extra rules in Newtonian mechanics when you work in a non-inertial frame. The difference is GR treats all frames equally.

Also worth noting that when the speed of the object is much less than the speed of light, the SR result reduces to the boring old Newtonian result. Which is why we don't notice these effects without extremely sensitive measurements, or until we encounter speeds a significant fraction of the...

Following similar precautions to Chalnoth, I've not had a virus issue in over four years either. The exception was one the university network once caught, which managed to infect first my USB stick, then my own computer. My virus checker caught it pretty swiftly, but the stick was not so...

The only people doing that are the ones like you, who idoltarise the Bible and insist your version of Christianity - the one that has been found false - is the only version of Christianity there is.

I love how there are more people that don't know what it is, than there are who want it taught.

The speed of light has been measured to be identical in all reference frames. There are only two consequences that can result from this measurement: 1. Special relativity. 2. The laws of physics are different in different reference frames (your 'optical illusion' claim), which produces a...

Washington, you are not playing the game. You are supposed to be making up some ridiculous statement, claiming it is part of some well-known and widely held belief, and then pointing out how ridiculous it is. Like the way Christians are always talking about shopping trolleys were the first life...

I'm not on anything. I'm just pointing out that Christianity must be wrong. It's daft to pretend you could grow a pumpkin that large, and Christianity is based on the notion vast numbers of people live inside a pumpkin. It's simply impossible.
