The way that this is involved is because it unravels the beginning of time as we know it. It proves that the plane of existence is composed of an infinite number of parallel dimensions. It proves that the big bang, or the creation of our universe, was the aftermath of two parallel dimensions colliding. At least that is how I remember the explanation of it. If this is scientific fact, then it rules out the possibility of a god creating this universe.Quote:

Christianity and creation are not beliefs that are in conflict with the Big Bang. You've heard the the joke, "I believe in the Big Bang: *Bang*... God created it." Well, not only is it not that funny, but it isn't even a joke. Who is to say that an infinite God could not use an infinite number of parallel dimensions outside of space and time as we know it to create a collision resulting in creation?Quote:

Most astrologers (Christian and non-Chrisitan) today believe in the Big Bang. That is a fact. It is not at odds with Christianity in any way, shape or form.
String theory is pretty much philosophy imho as it's almost unfalsifiable - we are unlikely to be able to prove it either way for the forseeable future.
In a way I somewhat agree, because most people do believe in a big bang of sorts, but there are those who do take the word very literally.Quote:

The Bible also didn't say that it *didn't* happen, So people will fill in with "Maybe God did it that way". I'm not saying there's no God, but I AM saying that Biblical texts are no more proof than mere observation.
I meant they took it as a belief system of infinite possibilities. You can't truly predict anything, because we can't prove that we are in a universe where it doesn't change. Therefore anything could happen after death. Anything can happen in life.
At least that is the way i took it.
WayOfTheLeaf, did you take your username from the Wheel Of Time book The Eye Of The World? If so that's awsome!:D I'm reading it myself right now.
i took it from the entire series my friend :) i love it. read all eleven books on the upper half of ten times. Reading the first one again right now.
Entire series eh? So the leaf people are coming back, that's interesting. I'm only just near the end of the first book for the first time. Seems I discovered the series late. Please don't tell me anything though!
lol i won't. I swear to god if robert jordan dies from the blood disease he has before finishing the last book i will do something insane. I have no idea what. But it will prolly be on television and make you go wtf.
The last book he said he didn't care if it was 2000-6000 pages and you had to carry it in a wheelbarrow, he is only writing one more.
