It’s not funny really, but the debacle of Royal Society head of education – Michael Reiss – who was allegedly misquoted in the media last week as having said that creationism should be taught alongside science in schools has been forced to resign his position. I couldn’t get the image of the Viz cartoon Dawkins being marched out of the hallowed halls of science by a load of stovepipe wearing blokes…

I have seen the book and it was written by a man with only his on mindless ramblings, the Bible was written by many men with the help of everyday life and God himself.

The word God is meaningless. See the chapter “Does the word God exist?” in the book

So, Carl, does this mean you are a believer of God or an athiest?

I actually kinda agree with you.

Getting back to schools, it has always seemed baffling to me which people are asking for what to include. At first I thought trying to get prayer in the public shools must be an atheist plot, withe believers pretending to be atheists while oppossing it. After all anyone with a familiarity with schools, at least in the USA, would know that prayer in the public schools would result in would result in a loss of religeous customers. I’ve always guessed that religeous belief is much stronger in the USA then other developed countries is that we have always had seperation of church and state, while most european countries have a history of mandatory religeon. I think that with regard to ID similar considerations apply. The public opponents of ID are the same people who anguish over the many polls showing that about half the US population doesn’t believe in evolution, and half of the rest believe that it was guided by God. In that sense at least the ID people are winning. The sports axiom, “always change a losing game, never change a winning game” suggests that ID in the schools would be bad for the ID crowd and good for the naturalist.

Ok, God created everything, that means time, although time wasn’t even recorded until man became smart, cave men probably did exist, but not as humanoids, but more as another animal that was here, such as the monkey. Time was first recorded by a Westerner the first scientist more or less. But you must agree time was then not even precisely calculkated, because they only recorded big things that took place in history that means technically time was never made, although as proposterous as it may seem the Jewish Calender is almost right. The Bible is also marked as a huge thing in history, because of the great dispute fought after as to the way and who should print it, the Bible also is correct and precise as to time, from the existence of intelligence down to the way it will all end, if you look in the Bible, Elisha a very powerful prophet whop prfessed many things and as recorded all of his profecies came true.

Yes, admittedly, we all fall into an infinite regression once we ask what made the universe, that’s a question neither religion nor science can answer. After all, if there were a god, what made it? If that god has been for eternity then what was happening before creation? At least with cosmological theory we might demonstrate that time itself did not exist prior to the Big Bang so there was no “before”

Did I not say science done it, but how would science be able to do it without divine intervention, how was science made, what made the universe? Questions you or I will never fully answer with science, but are so clear spiritually when God is ours.

Those books can’t disprove anything, nor can they fully acknowledge ID a bluff.

That there is still controversy about ID shows the incompetence of the science community. They should have been able to show that ID is nonsense long ago. To see how look at the website

However while chaos is important, and there is a chapter on it in the OAIU book, that is not what
makes the universe, and what it is, so improbable. It is really just coincidences in mathematics, just arithmetic. You should look at the OAIU book. It is startling.
