Tim Mackie does a great job describing creation of the old testament. In its original context. Below are supporting passages: He [Marduk] established the holy heavens. . . Creator of the earth above the waters, establisher of things on high… who made the world’s regions… He created “places” and...

I have given descriptions of what seems reasonable to me, similar to the below, but has been consistently rejected by better and more educated minds than mine, but I still don't understand why. I'm hoping that my earlier renditions/applications just weren't clear enough. So I thought I would...

Multiple universes have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology, music, and all kinds of literature, particularly in science fiction, comic books and fantasy. From Wikipedia

How will the universe end? Humanity has pondered this question for thousands of years. And now science actually has the knowledge and tools to attempt an answer. Until rather recently, astronomers thought the cosmos would repeatedly expand and collapse in an infinite cycle of cosmic death and...

From: String theorist Michio Kaku: 'Reaching out to aliens is a terrible idea' Stephen Hawking said that he didn’t believe in God because the big bang happened instantly and there was no time for God to create a universe, therefore God couldn’t exist. I have a different point of view. My...

https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/amp/ncna1005541 It turns out that there's a "relatively easy" way to reconcile the two Hubble constant figures, but unfortunately the "fix" for the Hubble constant problem also highlights the redundant nature of the LCDM "dark energy" claim...

Hi, everyone. Just to let you know, I'm replying to the following thread that was posted to this "Spirit-Filled / Charismatic" subforum in order to provide people a backup of the news report referred to in said thread (the link to which has gone dead) and due to the overarching primary...

Dark Energy Gets Weirder: Mysterious Force May Vary Over Time For the second time in as many decades, the LCDM interpretation of photon redshift as being related to (caused by) expansion has failed a second major test of that concept. The original big bang model predicted that the universe...

Not only have the results from the lab and from space been rather "unkind" to the dark matter hypothesis, we're also seeing a rebellion taking place with respect to inflation theory between the old guard and a younger generation of theoriests. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of variations...

Fine tuning of the universe is a very controversial issue. Here is a thread for those who wish to discuss the pros and the cons concerning this subject.

The laws of physics tell us: Matter cannot be created (nor can it create itself). Question: Has anyone ever seen something come from nothing? If you have, your eyes are lying to you. Question: Do you believe something can come from nothing? If you do, you are lying to yourself. This hasn't...
