It is relative to us, now. If you want to break it down, you can. And in the (relatively) distant future when things have shifted significantly, if we are still around there should be terminology that emerges to reflect or correct previous terms/units for measurement in relation to...

To repeat what others have said... It is relative to use, as observers. It is an approximation.

To be honest, if a theist were to simply state that belief is an act of pure faith, I don't really have any problems with that. I am not a theist, but that would be more honest. The problem for me is when theists try to provide rational, empirical justifications for belief - in other words, to...

From my understanding, the reason the issue of time is theorized as being "nonexistent" in our universe prior to the big bang is because, according to theory, prior to the big bang what later expanded to become our universe after the big bang existed in infinite density and heat in a space...

Are you assuming an approx. 6000 timeline for earth's history a la Biblical literalism? If so, some things may have changed in varying degrees but there hasn't been nearly enough time for changes so profound that one could even begin to entertain the idea that a scant few thousand years ago the...

Atheism is more justifiable from a scientific perspective - meaning that I have concluded that there is no rational or emperical way of proving the existence of [G]od. Interestingly, while I now consider myself agnostic, this was my conclusion even when a Christian and while in Christian...

So this is where things go wrong for arguments rooted in faith. Before I proceed - I am not commenting on religious faith itself. This is specifically about the types of arguments as the one presented here. To assert the Bible has authority over science itself would work out much better if...

Assuming we could never get out of our own "fishbowl" a la Hawking...Reality is subjective - that would be my statement in a nutshell. But, experientially that is all we know - this reality that we are traversing. I just have a difficult applying a universal concept of "absolute" here...

One of the debates/discussions stemming from recent discoveries and observations in quantum mechanics and its role in cosmology challenges that notion. It seems it is entirely possible that there is more than one reality. Not just in terms of perception in terms of our reality but also that of...

Actually, we should be asking you that question - when ever did Hawking concede black holes do not exist? You are misinformed here - he conceded on a debate about whether or not energy could escape from a black hole - look up Hawking Radiation... The xrays being observed are not escaping from...

Actually, the theory of black holes has steadily and significantly gained acceptance and validity due to continuing observation...it is no longer a quack theory or minority view...

Look deeper at the center where there likely resides a supermassive... Black holes do not bend light. Their intense gravity warps space-time which curves the path of light (not photons themselves). Do you understand that the phenomena related to black holes is intrinsically tied in with the...
