CG While this stupid topic isn't worth anyone's time to read or respond to, this paragraph about Stephen Hawking is worth everyone's time: "In Chapter 11, I come to believe that a major problem with God is not whether He exists but how one defines Him. Indeed, scientists from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking have looked at the universe and acknowledged a being, or mind, or architect before whom the only response is awe. The "God" that scientists can accept, in His most recent iteration, springs in part from quantum physics, the mysterious behavior of the very smallest particles. I caught a glimpse of this physics in action at a research institute in California, where I watched as one person's thoughts appeared to affect another person's body. This, then, is where mysticism meets science, and points to a God who may be the medium through which our prayers and thoughts are transmitted to others." Have just started to read the book and can understand why it is a bestseller written by an award-winning journalist. Sela | |||

I have come to believe that a major problem with man is not how he defines God but how God might define him. Peachy | |||

Peachy, That's a very good point. Sela | |||

Well, that sentence misstates both Hawking and Einstein's positions. It was written by a competent journalist who was a Christian Scientist until her mid-thirties by her own account. The only awards she's won, to my knowledge, are religious-based awards. She's not an investigative reporter or a scientist. Since she published HER book, Hawking has clarified his own position on God and said this in his latest book: Source: http://www.age-of-the-sage.org...he_grand_design.html Anyway, regardless, since you seem admiring of Einstein and Hawking, Sela, I take it you share their views that the earth is about 6.4 billion years old, right? And share their acceptance of evolution? And share their lack of belief in Christ as the Messiah? Because if you don't share those essential beliefs of Hawking and Einstein, why do you cite them as people whose religious views are admirable? Jeff | |||

6.4 billion years? Is that a typo? | |||

Henry, Actually, the ignoramus picked up the number of people in this world when he was searching the Internet. Sela | |||

Actually, this ignoramus had a typo, writing 6.4 billion years instead of 4.6 billion years. The population of the Earth is 6.8 billion, not 6.4 billion. Is that what religion does, Sela? Make you so vicious about every little thing? Jeff | |||

Calling CompGuy an ignoramus reflects rather badly on you Selia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tee "Blaming other people for your problems is self-defeating - even if you're right. - WJC | |||

Ah, yes, it's amazing the thinking of men. Calling someone an ignoramus who posts on the religious forum just to attack Christians and knows as much about the Bible as a third-grader, is not nice, I am told. But it is okay for these same atheists to send trojan horses, viruses and spyware into my computer to suppress my posting! Shows how shallow the minds of unbelievers think. Sela | |||

Do you really think I'm doing something to your computer Sela? How would I do that? And why would I want to do that? Jeff | |||

Sela, Jeff notes,
He wouldn't: simple and to the point. A few years ago as most of you know, I was the Moderator for the Abortion and Birth control board. I am fairly certain that someone sent my wife an email with a virus attached. When she executed the attachment, there was some funny stuff on the screen and her whole system went down. It was a good job. And it was a person long removed from this board. At that we are talking latter 90's. As much as Jeff and I may disagree at times, I have never doubted his integrity. In fact if you suspect you are getting nasties, Jeff may well be able to help you. I am sure he knows all the latest and greatest anti-virus software. (And yes just as you put a lock on your front door, good system protection software is a necessity in these days.) So it bothers me that you would even think such a thing. Regards, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glenn | |||
