• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation? (2)

Conversely, your approach is to insert God into the places that science (currently) can't explain adequately.
Can science explain it at all.

You accept it even though you can't explain it, and you expects others to accept it even though you can't explain it. How nice.

I say God did it.

If you had your way, whould they ever bother to try?

What are you talking about? I'm not asking anyone to accept anything. I told you, there is currently no definite idea on what initiated the expansion - and LCDM doesn't explain that, it STARTS with an expanding universe.

At the same time, being able to explain back to 10^-43 second after the expansion started is pretty good going, and is consistent with all assumptions made.

And this whine of yours does nothing to change the fact that your argument incorporates bad God-of-the-gaps logic and a false dichotomy. God's gaps are getting smaller all the time, and there is no reason to expect a conclusive empirical proof of God when faith is choice based.

Put God in the gaps and you'll be constantly retreating in the face of science. Or you can use proper logic and be a lot more credible. Your choice.
