A lot of the replies on here are about Big Bang Theory - which has to do with the origin of the Universe.

But the OP asked about the World. The origin of the world is easily explained by conventional science. The formation and evolution of the solar system is described in a straightforward way many astronomy textbooks and science publications.

The OP asked the question "How was the world created?"

Well ... it wasn't! It evolved from a giant dust cloud between 4 and 5 billion years ago. There is no evidence to the contrary.

However.....

If god created adam and eve, he created them in adulthood ie allready x number of years old.

So could he not of created the universe thousands of years ago, but allready old...

We don't know for certain how it all started but we do know for certain that traditional religion got it very wrong.

Science has done much better so far, and I'll plant my flag with science. That said, the scientific revolution as we know it may just be one step in many yet to come.

Years from now science may be looked at in the same way that I currently view religion.

My point is there is no "believe" when it comes to science.

Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

imagine the universe was just one single thought from some obviously larger entity..that thought can last billions of years to us, and only a fraction of a second to it.Now imagine those thoughts multiplied into infinity.

the same process might work exactly on our level, with the smallest of particles , living their own existence and possibly knowing us as a huge cosmic force

The real leap will come from artificial intelligence, that is 'self-aware', I cant see that as impossible, and in fact it could be our ultimate evolution, and the only way to survive the changes the extreme conditions we would face when the sun dies(and of we are of course possibly not needing to rely on planets etc)

I'd ask this as a last point..if we kept destroying our environments..would we be classed as a cancer to the larger universe entity that we inhabit?

Yep.

The observable evidence fits the notion that the number of gods is .... zero.

If that is not certain but only probable, then there is equal probability that the number of Gods is N where N is any number greater than zero from 1 to Infinity (and beyond)?

Why all this talk of one God and not of the multiple Gods that might exist (if there were any Gods at all)?

God Is Dead? - Black Sabbath 13

Reply privatelyReply in forumReply +quote
 

By *plankyMan
over a year ago

Beeston

the Black Sabbath song repeats "I don’t believe that God is dead" before getting to the chorus "God is Dead".

But how you gonna prove something is dead if you can't prove it ever existed?

And when there are so many exclusive claims that the only god is christian or Jewish or Islamic (and ignoring all the possibilities of many gods).

Just to make it interesting:

Here is what the Islamic God says in Quran 5:33 "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter".

And here is what the merciful omniscient Christian / Jewish god says in the Bible "If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."

A possible answer to the OP's question is that the world I.e. this planet was created by 2 planets colliding, this theory stems from the unusually high levels of iron at the core. Where those two came from I have no idea.

But time is another matter, time is not a constant it's a variable. We calculate a year from one revolution of the orbit round our sun. If the orbit was larger or slower then a year would be different. Days are a revolution of the planet on its axis, therefore time is only relevant here, it's different everywhere else. So 4 billion years is no time at all to whatever our sun may be orbiting.

That's irony of the religious nutters ideas.I would say theory,but a theory is an idea based on tested evidence.

Anyway back on track

They ask for scientists to produce evidence of the big bang etc yet they base their whole belief on a man made story without a atom of proof to back it up.

Well, obviously when one puts the light on, the dark goes. But where does it go? I think it all squishes together in shadows and stuff.

Anyway, I think the world was created by bits of stars and elements and rocks and dust all being attracted to each other by gravity (as someone earlier in the thread mentioned) and coalescing into bigger lumps and so on. Easy peasy physics.

Theres a new theory that explains a lot of the unexplainable theories at the minute such as what started the big bang? What caused inflation to end (if only it was the monetary inflation) and dark matter.

The theory is our universe is in fact inside a black hole.

"A possible answer to the OP's question is that the world I.e. this planet was created by 2 planets colliding, this theory stems from the unusually high levels of iron at the core. Where those two came from I have no idea.

But time is another matter, time is not a constant it's a variable. We calculate a year from one revolution of the orbit round our sun. If the orbit was larger or slower then a year would be different. Days are a revolution of the planet on its axis, therefore time is only relevant here, it's different everywhere else. So 4 billion years is no time at all to whatever our sun may be orbiting.

Time does exist, it's the way we choose to divide it up that is man made. Time is a dimention, as real as up or down.

Well yes and no, a day was calculated as 1 period of dark and one period of light, this must have been the case unless we later forgot the world span on an axis. This unit of time was split into smaller units by someone (I have no idea who came up with hours but have seen some pretty old sun dials that indicate someone did) getting split into minutes and seconds, probably came later when other factors required a closer measurement of time, THEN we discovered a second is second is 9billion (approx)radiations (motions) of caesium 133, some time after we discovered caesium 133.

Point being that every observation on time is based on a viewpoint from this planet. Which is pretty close to the truth of every scientific observation of anything as we don't have a frame of reference for any other observational point.

In space there is no up or down up or down.we perceive up as the direction away from the centre of gravity if you were looking from space at earth my perception of up in teesside would be completely different from someone in Australia. If you are in space and you want to go up which way do you go? There is no fixed point no reference to gravity

I should rephrase what i said about "time". Time s a human perception that describes motion. For example the earliest form of time keeping was a sun dial this progressed to clocks now if we measured the speed of a car we are comparing its motion to the motion of the hand of the clock and thus to the fractional movement of the sun. These references could be compared without any reference to time.

The feeling of time is probably a concept created by our mind to order and make sense of the world which is filled with motion and change.

Interesting! I get what you're trying to say, with no reference point "up" and "down" don't really exist but even in deep space you can still move in three dimensions.

Using your space analogy, if you were completely motionless in space, time would still pass, it is completely independent of motion.

" measured the speed of a car we are comparing its motion to the motion of the hand of the clock and thus to the fractional movement of the sun. "

The speed calculation is also flawed as it takes no account of the rotation of this planet, nor it's orbit around the sun (both of which we have numbers for) but then the sun is possibly also orbiting something at a speed we have no basis of calculation for as we don't know where or if that something exists, perhaps it's God?

Or of course the sun could be an electron happily spinning around some neutron and proton arrangement which in turn joins with others to form a cell in a tasty morsel, which could at any time be gobbled up by some predator, we could possibly survive this small galactic tragedy, but eventually we would end up in the shit

"Using your space analogy, if you were completely motionless in space, time would still pass, it is completely independent of motion. "

Yes time would still pass but as a measurement of relative distance, if you were on Mars then a year would take approx 686.98 days but a day would be pretty close to an earth day. you could of course take an atomic clock from here and presuming no Mars based differences changed the known constants, could technically still work on Earth time, but it would not be a relevant time to the orbit or rotation of that planet.

In space I am presuming you would not be spinning over any given constant so the concept of days would be meaningless, but would be orbiting (gravity would be a bit harsh if you were not) so the concept of a year would exist but not necessarily take 8765.81277 hours.

I actually meant deep space, not on another celestial body either in this solar system or another.

I wasn't talking about time as seconds, minutes, hours, days or even years. I meant time as a dimension. However we choose to define it is irrelevant, it would exist without us to perceive it.

Einstein had a good theory on space being a finite sphere, which stacks up with gravity and movement being the basis of all our knowledge. He ended his presentation of this theory with a question of what is on the other side of the sphere?

I think we have an inbuilt fear of infinity, which makes it our nature to build walls start and stop points, which makes the concept easier to hold on to. hence the big bang theory being much more popular than the question, what went bang?

Yeah, it really annoys me when people say something is "just a theory". If they can't grasp the difference between a hypothesis and a theory then their opinion isn't worth anything. The other one that annoys me is correlation does not imply causation, a lot of pseudo-scientific crap ignores that.

I chose wiki because we're already online and it's become the go-to source for most things but you could easily look it up in any number of books or places online, it will always say that a theory is not the same thing as a hypothesis.

I hate this kind of pedantry. Rather than discuss the topic the focus becomes fixated with the definition of which words are used.

Some people have ideas. Other people agree with them. If enough believe there's credibility in them some may call it science.

Ultimately it's all people's ideas. Often based on others ideas. Sometimes those ideas on which they're based prove incorrect and this has a ripple effect on subsequent ideas.

But still they are ideas.

Once upon a time it was religion that was considered 'reality' while science was not. Ideas about that have now changed.

But as no human appears to have been present when the world was (or was not) created all that we have is ideas.

Well, that's my theory

Search your feelings, you know it to be true. (I can do Star Wars references too) "

a guy i met a long time ago told me there was absolutely no way AI could ever happen...that might have been in 2002

cant people see tech advancing tenfold or am I just stupid and some scifi freakbag...whats that...blending human brains with computers? how fucking silly, I must be off my rocker

Here and there

I said it earlier and I will end my argument with it.

Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

And if perchance I have offended, think but this and all is mended.

We'd sooner be ten minutes back in time, for all the chance you'll change your mind.

Fair enough.

So what's your view on how the world was created?

A bit off topic but who cares how it started

YEs looking at the lessons of histroy we can try not to repeat mistakes in the future but we are all living on a dying planet, with limited resources, expanding populations, increased life expectancies and nowhere really to go, orbiting around a dying star.

Should science or religion be asked what happens next and what does the future hold

The planet won't die - at least not through the things you mention. That's just man's arrogance. The planet was here long before, and will be here long after we have gone.

Man has been on here for a couple of million years or so. How long we're the dinosaurs here for?..

Well I had intended on ducking out of this argument and going to bed.

Do you just mean how was earth formed? Or are we talking solar system, galaxy, universe?

If it's just this planet, it was formed like all of the others from an accretion disk around our star. It was initially smaller than it is now. At some point in its history another rocky planet approximately the size of mars collided with it and out of the wreckage of that collision the moon was also formed.

what happens next?(bit of bladerunner really)

things will be automated, social unrest(we wont hand out food to those unneeded)

it basically starts with military.construction robots...then on a consumer level(theres lots of sci fi films that explain it)

there hasnt been much on cybernetics(in long term effects on a society), ony disabled ppl seem toi be the target of cybernetics so far.............but google many things about cybernetics

Ive said in previous forums, the only way to TRY surviving the galactic mess is to essentially become machine like, and the way the quantum world has actually made us warp our own interpretation of time , distance.....so we are actually visiting ourselves. sometimes not knowingly

How do mermaids reproduce?
