My Dimension Challenge

[SelfSim]

Just philosophy.

.. and yet religions are critically dependent on the products of philosophy?
(Whereas science detects and isolates them .. and proceeds with its business by treating philosophically held beliefs with indifference).

 

[SelfSim]

It's an excellent explanation as to how everything could have fit aboard the Ark, with plenty of room to spare.

Only because you say so ... (and not much else).

 

[AV1611VET]

Only because you say so ... (and not much else).

Should I keep quiet about it when someone asks how all those animals could fit aboard the Ark?

Or should I keep quiet about it when someone says all those animals couldn't have fit aboard the Ark?

Depends on your reason for putting yourself in the situation of having to provide an answer to the question in the first place, I suppose.

An honest 'I don't know' is probably the answer enquiring minds are seeking .. you can't rule out the possibility the question is aimed at probing your honesty (and thus your credibility).

I'd say he has been watching too many episodes of Dr Who.............

Yes .. I suppose the Doctor's phone booth is the vital key(?)

 

[essentialsaltes]

It's an excellent explanation

Perhaps you should make your explanation more explicit.

But let me ask you this:

Knowing that there are eleven dimensions of space ... or even thinking there may be ... why would someone ask how all the animals fit aboard the Ark?

A more potent question:

Knowing (or suspecting) there are more than three dimensions of space, wouldn't it be disingenuous to say x,y, or z couldn't fit aboard the Ark?

I don't need Dr Who to figure this one out.

Albeit God gets the credit for opening my eyes to the fact that even scientists believe in more than three dimensions.

 

[AV1611VET]

Perhaps you should make your explanation more explicit.

Sure:

3 + n = >3

 

[essentialsaltes]

Sure:

3 + n = >3

Are you granting that three dimensions is not enough?

 

[klutedavid]

Sure:

3 + n = >3

This statement is untrue if n=0

 

[Yttrium]

Knowing that there are eleven dimensions of space ... or even thinking there may be ... why would someone ask how all the animals fit aboard the Ark?

Knowing that there is an omnipotent God involved, why would someone ask how all the animals fit aboard the ark? All you need is magic.

 

[Occams Barber]

Are you granting that three dimensions is not enough?

I think he's trying to explain that, if space is so big, why couldn't you stick a couple of elephants in the gaps between sub-atomic particles. By utilising this wasted space AV can fit anything and everything into the Ark.

I think he's come up with a brilliant hypothesis.

I don't have great confidence in his success.

Oh ye of little faith.

[AV1611VET]

I'm not sure, to be honest.

But for those who swear by the town clock that three dimensions aren't, I would like to introduce them to what string theory can do for them.

 

[AV1611VET]

This statement is untrue if n=0

And here I thought someone was going to say n = -1.

 

[AV1611VET]

Knowing that there is an omnipotent God involved, why would someone ask how all the animals fit aboard the ark?

Good question.

And for those who avoid the question mark like the plague and just affirm that all those animals couldn't possibly do so ... well ... I have to disagree with them.

Wouldn't you?

Amen! Thank you!

I give God the credit though.
