Question for you Matt: Why are certain things in the Bible embraced, while other things are ignored? A curious question, considering the elevated place in greater society that the Bible holds. Curious indeed.
Politics? Maybe...

LMAO
Way to tanked up to ask that...I have no idea

Time in any sense that we perceive it is meaningless to macroscopic workings of the universe. It is a measurement strictly dictated by and relative to the observer. The faster you go the slower time passes for you and vice versa. Now let's look at the idea of time running backwards. Certain characteristics of a reverse time universe are not what we would think they were. The laws of thermodynamics dictates that all closed systems move towards entropy with time (utter chaos) and it has nothing to with the "direction" time is traveling. Therefore, say a cup falls off the table and shatters into bits, in a reverse time the cup would not assemble itself and hop back up on the table it would still be in bits. The pyramids would still slowly erode and we would not reverse age, but age as we do now. Entropy is king when it comes to time's direction. Other events would go in reverse, like a person on a bicycle would be pedaling and moving in reverse the whole time, aging and the bike wearing down from friction. There is a quantum approach to a "god" element that is innate throughout the universe and it is called the Higgs field which consists of the higgs boson. Still only in theory it is believed to be more elementary than the quark and the energy needed to release this particle from confinement is literally on the edge of infinite. Quarks are similar in that their rest state is 0 the farther apart they become the higher their attraction energies become scaling to the point where we never see free quarks because there just isn't that energetic of activity going on in the universe any more. The micro seconds after the big bang occurred the universe was still hot enough and dense enough that it was a plasma of free quarks, a minute after it had cooled to wherre hydrogen and helium was created by quark attractions making the electron, proton and neutron. three quarks in the proton and neutron and I believe 2 in the electron. Not even supernovae liberate quarks. The Higgs boson is in state by exponentially larger amounts of energy. CERN may have the juice to show that the higgs field does indeed exist but maybe not.
Well there's a little of what I retained from quantum mechanics.
Oh bring me some CHUNKY PUDDING, and bring it RIGHT NOW!!!
Did you study that at school..if so that is WAY more interesting than the stuff we do in the UK!!
There is a great documentary (on you tube in many installments) called Down the hole or something similar and it mentions too the idea that has been held by hippies, Buddhists and in even Christians, that everything in our universe is eseentially one.
I found the way in your post and in the documentary above fascianting the way the concept of 'God' was addressed and expalined within Science too!
This documentary has a theory that scientifically this is so too and weaves this in with string theory.
You even get a great explanation that proves my mum wrong for all these years that you can be in two place at once!!
Thanks Mike great read!!

I am a physics nut Matt. LOL I really enjoy theoretical physics and wished I would have invested the time of learning higher maths than calculus when I was younger. When you get older the brain isn't able to comprehend certain levels of mathematics. Isn't that odd? Everyone seems to have this mathematics barrier and everyone's is different. Einstein for example had to invent a completely new branch of mathematics that allowed for space-time curvature and it was based on, curves and spherical surfaces. In your late 20's and early 30's the brains ability to absorb further into mathematics goes away and you have to really work with math constantly to retain where you peak or it rapidly slips away. My grandfather could read books written in pure mathematical formulas, no words in them. I am amazed when I look at some of them. "It's all Greek to me" comes to mind. lol

Well my understanding of science is like someone who can play the 12 blues shuffle rhythm and a few chords yet who still loves what he can play and thoroughly enjoys it. I buy New Scientist and just love reading about it...but the fact remains I am a science strummer
Your Physics knowledge Mr Lowery sounds like soemone who knows how to do sweep arpeggios, palm mutted riffs in 7/8 and knows all the modes and scales.
yiur Granddad sounds like the Frank Zappa!!!

Wareagle, your just screwed up in all kinds of areas aren't you?... LOL Hey I agree, probably, 180 percent with you, it is ANCIENT B.S. and even though it is ancient, it still doesn't smell very good either.
Oh bring me some CHUNKY PUDDING, and bring it RIGHT NOW!!!

Oh ye of little faith.
Work Sucks!! Thats why I am on here reading posts!!
The Romans put Jesus to death. Yeah, I know Pontius "washed his hands" of it, but it was still the Romans. As much as I love (really, I love) being politically incorrect, I do not like equating Jews with putting Jesus to death...Anway, such passages in the Bible as well some works by Martin Luther and John Chrysostom have been used to promote anti semitism.
