Nine people can interpret gravity nine different ways.
But the fact remains, under no circumstances whatsoever is gravity to be contradicted.
I'm glad it's sinking in. Gravity is a fact. Scientists develop theories of gravity to explain that fact.
That's a really great question, and it's definitely a theological question, not a physics question.My question is how do you sort through science and religion?
Just let each be its own thing and separate from the other? Have you considered that?My question is how do you sort through science and religion?
That would seem likely. Specifically, physics, nuclear physics, perhaps nuclear engineering, maybe environmental radioactivity.I assume that Schroeder taught science at MIT and Harvard.
Probably not. Why would he? There is nothing in any of those courses or subjects that require a discussion of religion.So does that mean he does not talk about religion in the classroom?
Generally, though many courses are custom made and don't have a textbook. (Most college textbooks are written by professors teaching those classes. I had 3 university classes using the draft of the professor's textbook. Other classes had no textbook at all.)Does he just stick to the textbook and teach that?
Why would any student care about the religion of their professors?Then if you want to know about his religion you have to read one of his books?
Do we? Does it matter?We know that atheism is rampant at our universities.
What "double standard"? Are you implying that atheist professors teach atheism? If so you are wrong. No professor ever even mentioned they were atheists in any classroom I was in. (Who knows, maybe none of them were actually atheists.) It wasn't relevant to the class.Do they follow the same standard or is there a double standard?
Because science in and of itself is agnostic.
I don't recall you saying this before, but yes that is true.As I said before: Punctuated equilibrium was developed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.
Not sure what his death has to do with any of this, but ...Gould an atheist died early from cancer.
You do know that there is not significant difference between "agnostics" and "atheists", right? I tend to think of them as "non-believers who identify as atheists" and "non-believers who identify as agnostics". "Agnostic" isn't an intermediate, half-yes-half-no, position between belief and non-belief.Eldredge agnostic is still alive and may still even be working.
I think cancer is a result of people being in conflict with themselves and not able to work out that conflict.
It's a great question, but not at all a question about physical science.My question is how do you sort through science and religion?
Not always possible if certain articles of faith are threatened by the results of scientific inquiry.....

People can easily contradict the Bible.
But that's the point.
They are contradicting the Bible.
And they're wrong.
We're all going to meet the Author some day.
And we're all going to be shown where we contradicted His word.
Newton said gravity is a pull. Einstein said gravity is a push. They say the math works either way depending on what you are doing.In the end, it's all gravity, isn't it?

Schroeder has a degree in physics from MIT and he taught Physics at Harvard. After he studied all that Physics man had to offer, he went to the Kaballah to learn more. You do not realize how much science is firmly rooted in religious beliefs that were proven to be true. The Big Bang, for example.not a physics question.
Aristotle interpreted gravity as the tendency for objects to reach their natural place.
Newton interpreted gravity as an attractive force between any two massive objects.
Einstein interpreted gravity as the bending of the geometry of space-time by energy.
As far as we know, Einstein's view is essentially correct
Yes, I have a degree in physics too (Engineering Physics to be exact, which is pretty much every course a normal physics major takes but 2, and then I just read the equivalent of those 2 courses over time on my own later). But, I can easily raise a non-physics topic and discuss it of course.Schroeder has a degree in physics from MIT and he taught Physics at Harvard.

I have Degrasse's book on astrophysics. Do you agree or disagree with him? People like Nahmanides talk about this from a Kaballah perspective. The religious perspective has more to do with the beginning of time.Do some believe in the big bang in a religious way?
I've never wanted to read or listen to Degrasse since I had already learned from reading thousands (not hundreds, not just 2 thousand, but many thousands (about on order of ~ 10,000 i recently calculated) of astrophysics articles, reports, news, etc. For that matter you can easily find better than Degrasse just for explaining astronomy. ( Would you like me to find a better than Degrasse recommendation?)I have Degrasse's book on astrophysics. Do you agree or disagree with him?

Who would you recommend for a discussion on the "Big Bang" or on the theory of the collapsing universe.For that matter you can easily find better than Degrasse
