And there’s that while subtext about escaping one’s socially prescribed identity.The people who made it are clear that it is fiction. (That and the fact that it depicts things that are not part of our reality, so it should be really obvious that it is fiction.)

Wow indeed "man". Distaste for pseudoscience (of which this video is replete) does not preclude one from enjoying sci fi. (In fact I am watching Star Trek right now.)

You asked me what the verse means. I answered. In what way is that playing dumb?
Given the variety of claims you made starting with the OP, no, no I don't.Yes sir, professor, lol. Don't you think I know the absurdity the presmise is?
I thought about it a lot. That was one of the reasons that I wanted to post it, lol. But if we have any sort of an open mind whatsoever then we would reaize that...it just might be absurd enough to be true. Who knows?
I don't know that quantum mechanics (as it is properly known) is more or less "valid" than General Relativity or the Standard Model. (Not to mention the derivative sciences of chemistry, biology, and others.)Well quantum sicens are the most valid science that we have.
No such thing has been found, let alone "proven". It is a consequence of a very speculative idea about fundamental physics call "string theory" which lacks any experimental evidence.And Chuck said they have proven somehow (scientists) that we live in 11 dimensions but only 4 of them are perceivable by the human senses. And their study concluded that our material reality is but a shadow of a larger reality (Scientific American June 2005).
I am. The tiny bit of the video (about 2 minutes) about "electric simulation" is bunk as has been discussed on this site ad nauseam over the years. (It is literally how I found CF.)So unless you're a scientist too, I'll continue to take your sarcasm as laughable and narrow minded.
It's hard to separate that bad idea (a joke you claim) from the other bad ideas in the post and in the video.Lol! I'm sorry you didn't get it, but that a joke. Whoosh!

Absurdity is not a criteria for evaluating the truthfulness or accuracy of a claim.

Huh. Just because something sounds absurd doesn't mean it isn't true necessarily. Can I prove it? No, I'm not a scientist. I don't think you are either.
They publish. That's how things work. Scientists publish their results. String theory is at best a mathematical speculation. This is widely known in the physics community and among those who follow things in the popular press. So far there is no physical evidence that would suggest string theory is correct.How would you even know? Just because you wasn't on the team of scientists that say it is proven doesn't mean they're quacks and your right.
So what. I wasnt hereyears ago and I am now.
Doing it professionally does.Saying I am doesnt make you a scientist.
Physics.What's your PHD in?

Science doesn't work by scripture.Here's where Scripture comes in.
Are you saying your god is made of dark matter or dark energy? Also faith has no place in science.The Bible has been saying the same thing all along...there is a larger reality and it is God and the Kingdom of God. SO of course string theory can has not been proven yet because the Bible says that we are to Believe and have faith in Him. God hid Himself from man. So we can see, what? 5% of our total reality?
It means there is no proof for it, so we don't assume it is true.No proof doesn't mean it is not true.
Actually, I haven't said anything about the "unseen world".All you have said is that you do not believe in the unseen world.
See that little drop down arrow under everyone's avatar? Click on that to find out about any poster.Are you an Atheist?
Thanks for that courtesy..I'll buy that.
I was well aware of this claim and why it is wrong, but I did need to see exactly which parts of it Chuck was claiming.SO what you just said was that you had your mind already made up even before you watched the video.
That's right, it's not some off the cuff reaction. I've read and viewed a lot of analysis of this "claim" and related claims about electricity and cosmology.So it's merely opinion. A professional opinion, yet an opinion.
Well, within the brain I guess we can say it is "an electrical simulation". Our senses relay data to the brain where images are formed with sound, color texture, etc. But the world we experience is a facsimile within our minds based on all that data which may or may not be accurately perceived and transmitted.
Here are mistakes I found in his presentation.
I have left out the molecular biology and evolution aspects for the more qualified to make comments.
(1) “Creation week” violates the second law of thermodynamics, entropy doesn’t decrease over the “creation week” but increases since the observable universe is an isolated system, it doesn’t exchange mass and energy with the “outside” which is causally disconnected.
(2) Each particle having an antiparticle is wrong, bosons such as photons do not have antiparticles.
(3) Zero point energy does not explain why electrons do not spiral into the nucleus, it explains for example why the theoretical energy levels of the hydrogen atom which prevent electrons from spiraling into the nucleus do not precisely match the energy levels observed in experiments.
This is known as the Lamb shift.
(4) Electromagnetic forces are “10³⁶" times greater than gravitational forces, doesn’t take into consideration is that electromagnetic forces are screened by a mechanism known as Debye shielding.
The visible matter in the universe in the intergalactic medium is composed of plasma at a number density of 1 nₑ(m⁻³) which screens the electromagnetic force and greatly reduces its range force down to around 10⁵ m which is insignificant at cosmological scales.
Then there is the simple fact that electromagnetic forces are attractive and repulsive which makes it impossible to explain how ternary or more complicated stellar systems can be stable given repulsive forces are also involved.
On a more advanced level plasma cosmology has been debunked here and here.
(5) Gravity does play a significant role in the universe because galaxies are composed of billions of stars which makes them very massive.
(6) The Planck length is a theoretical boundary when the expanding universe transitioned from a quantum mechanical scale to a macroscopic scale and has not been proven in the lab as it would require energy levels many orders of magnitude beyond current particle accelerators to produce temperatures when the transition occurred.
(7) General relativity postulates space-time is composed of 3 spatial dimensions and a time dimension.
Depth and height mentioned in the Bible are on the same vertical axis and not composed of separate dimensions.
(8) Particle physicists use quantum field theory based on 3 spatial dimensions and a time dimension, not 10 dimensions which falls in the field of string theory which is not mainstream science and has been largely criticized for being unfalsifiable.
What is clearly obvious the creationist wildly mixes mainstream science with pseudoscience and is unaware of the contradictions in his presentation.
He should stick to the Bible and leave science to the educated.

Thanks for that courtesy..
I pointed out the mistakes made in his video and I'm calling your bluff by showing me the "glaring contradictions" made in my presentation.I get it. You think we can from monkeys and before that a mud puddle.
You got a PhD too? I bet you can't the glaring contradictions in your own presentation.
That video is done by a Christian Pastor. But it seems much of his secular life was in the information sciences. So Yeah, it was a good video and I'll stick with him and the Bible!
Doesn't it ultimately depend on whether the Bible is interpreted literally or metaphorically?Nice post
Question: so what in the Bible is in error?
I've considered the fact that you could be as they say, over-educated?
Pi does not equal 3. Exodus is wrong. The Noachian Flood did not happenNice post
