  • 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.

Somehow this is suppose to have something to do with Holograms but I have not got that far yet to find out what the connection is. I was watching a lecture by Leonard Susskind on youtube.

In Physics we hear about black holes. Nothing can escape from a black hole. They are singularities and they are infinite. Just as we are told that god is a Singularity and Infinite. We know that black holes exist even though nothing can excape or be detected. A black hole possesses a gravitational field so powerful that not even light can escape. It has been said that all of the information in the universe can be contained on a mustard seed or smaller. Science tells us that a thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion bits of information can be stored on one proton. 10 to the 66 power. This is a Planck unit for area. If you add one bit of information to a black hole it will expand by that amount.

Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the universe was created by fthe word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of gthings that are visible." "ethings not seen."

We see a reference here to "the Word of God". (rhēmati) We hear teaching about the rhēma word of God. In Genesis chapter one we read about what God SAID and what God SAW. The Hebrew words for said and saw are very common works used many times in many different ways. In the Greek Rhema and phainó are more select and not used very often.

God isn't a singularity the way it is meant for a black hole. And a black hole isn't infinite either. So I'm not sure what all that is supposed to refer to. Fyi, gravity doesn't affect massless things (like light), but masses warp space—to an extreme at black holes—such that light can't escape.

footnote for further fun: During some eclipses, it has been possible to see stars 'around' the sun (or 'behind' the sun) because the light from the stars is 'bent' enough by the sun's gravity.

Even if that is also described as 'warping' space, no problem.
