Its all on the table.

Now, Atum doing unspeakable things to himself to make the Universe many not be on the table, nor would the menstrual cyles of Iluna for the Cogi Indians suffice, but it does seem like just about every constant can be bent to yield a new view of how this all happened. That being so, why exactly is anyone so confident about any scientific model for creation?

As far as changing constants and fundemental properties to make the universe happen in a theoretical way, it seems pretty much nothing is off the table:

However, to this day no one actually knows what dark energy is, or where it comes from. Professor Jose Senovilla, and his colleagues at the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain, have proposed a mind-bending alternative. They propose that there is no such thing as dark energy at all, and we’re looking at things backwards. Senovilla proposes that we have been fooled into thinking the expansion of the universe is accelerating, when in reality, time itself is slowing down. At an everyday level, the change would not be perceptible. However, it would be obvious from cosmic scale measurements tracking the course of the universe over billions of years. The change would be infinitesimally slow from a human perspective, but in terms of the vast perspective of cosmology, the study of ancient light from suns that shone billions of years ago, it could easily be measured
The team's proposal, which will be published in the journal Physical Review D, dismisses dark energy as fiction. Instead, Prof Senovilla says, the appearance of acceleration is caused by time itself gradually slowing down, like a clock with a run-down battery.

I mean really, how many freaking variables are there in cosmology? Time, the quantity of matter, the quantity of energy, first density, etc., etc.?

Really. We can't even cure the common cold. People think they're so smart.

Exactly cosmology suffers from the size of its subject matter and sheer number of variables that need to be considered.

While the practical results of the scientific method are there for all to see on this planet in the last 100 years or so we need a great degree of humility when we consider the stars. We know so little and yet we say so much with such false confidence. I believe the most approach is an agnostic one about the various theories until we have a lot more evidence or a word from the Creator Himself!!

I agree.

Corpus delicti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corpus delicti (plural: corpora delicti) (Latin: "body of crime") is a term from Western jurisprudence which refers to the principle that it must be proven that a crime has occurred before a person can be convicted of committing the crime.

Evidence in the case of British serial killer John George Haighcorpse, murder could not be proven because there was no corpus delicti. Haigh had misinterpreted the Latin word corpus as a literal body rather than a figurative one. indicated that he decided to destroy the bodies of his victims with acid because he had the mistaken belief that, in the absence of a corpse , murder could not be proven because there was no corpus delicti. Haigh had misinterpreted the Latin word corpus as a literal body rather than a figurative one.

Mr. Haney (Green Acres)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mr. Haney


Mr. Haney (given name apparently either Eustace or Charleton) was a local salesman and con man in the rural Hooterville community who was a supporting character on the 1960s CBS television series Green Acres.
Haney, portrayed by veteran character actor and longtime Western film sidekick Pat Buttram with the odd, yodeling voice, was the person who had sold his family's ancient, dilapidated farm to newcomers Oliver and Lisa Douglas when they first left New York City for rural Hooterville and their new life as farmers.

In another episode, Haney examines what he believes is a dead cow (actually a plastic promotional item that fell off a meat truck), hoping to parlay the find into a profit, and refers to it as the “corpus delicious”.

Okay, you realize the story about Mr. Haney says something about your propensity for useless trivia, and weird sense of humor, right?

 

[synger]

Or it could show his propensity for following links that come up from a Google search that might not have direct bearing on his actual question, but that might be fun...


*wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing*

Busted.

However, I did Google "corpus delicious" intentionally! Honest.

 

[FallingWaters]

Busted.

It did have that "takes one to know one" flavor to it.
