Well Moe, that's almost as profanely comprehensive as the Trinity Doctrine would try to have us believe. sad2

whoa Apparently, there's something reassuring to Trinitarians about God coming to Earth to kill himself, and then, resurrect himself.

So, Karma is cause and effect with moral implications.

Where-as, Revenge is a deliberate effort to enforce moral repercussions.

Really, there's probably no-end to the number of quotes from the Quran on this subject.

(Surah 3: 185)

(Surah 4: 56)

(Surah 7: 37+38)

(Surah 10: 11)

(Surah 14: 42+43)

(Surah 35: 45)

I've met immigrants from other countries who've come to Canada and while they claim they were formerly Muslim they've now converted to Christianity.

They find it strange I was formerly a Christian, of sorts, and now I'm a Muslim.

When I ask them about what it was they were disgruntled about from where they came from and their religion, that's when I find out they're primarily entrenched with Hadiths.

It could be said they've never actually known what Islam was originally supposed to be.

******************************************

It has also come-to-mind that there are those who'd assume I'd never had an authentic indoctrination of what Christianity is supposed to be, as well. spock

It's complacency for ignorance that's taking over the world.

Age of the Universe


15 Billion Years or Six Days?

Today, we look back in time. We see 15 billion years. Looking forward from when the universe is very small - billions of times smaller - the Torah [The Bible] says six days. They both may be correct.

What's exciting about the last few years in cosmology is we now have quantified the data to know the relationship of the "view of time" from the beginning, relative to the "view of time" today. It's not science fiction any longer. Any one of a dozen physics text books all bring the same number. The general relationship between time near the beginning when stable matter formed from the light (the energy, the electromagnetic radiation of the creation) and time today is a million million, that is a trillion fold extension. That's a 1 with 12 zeros after it. It is a unit-less ratio. So when a view from the beginning looking forward says "I'm sending you a pulse every second," would we see it every second? No. We'd see it every million million seconds. Because that's the stretching effect of the expansion of the universe. In astronomy, the term is "red shift." Red shift in observed astronomical data is standard.

The Torah doesn't say every second, does it? It says Six Days. How would we see those six days? If the Torah says we're sending information for six days, would we receive that information as six days? No. We would receive that information as six million million days. Because the Torah's perspective is from the beginning looking forward.

Six million million days is a very interesting number. What would that be in years? Divide by 365 and it comes out to be 16 billion years. Essentially the estimate of the age of the universe. Not a bad guess for 3300 years ago.

The way these two figures match up is extraordinary. I'm not speaking as a theologian; I'm making a scientific claim. I didn't pull these numbers out of a hat. That's why I led up to the explanation very slowly, so you can follow it step-by-step.

Now we can go one step further. Let's look at the development of time, day-by-day, based on the expansion factor. Every time the universe doubles, the perception of time is cut in half. Now when the universe was small, it was doubling very rapidly. But as the universe gets bigger, the doubling time gets longer. This rate of expansion is quoted in "The Principles of Physical Cosmology," a textbook that is used literally around the world.

(In case you want to know, this exponential rate of expansion has a specific number averaged at 10 to the 12th power. That is in fact the temperature of quark confinement, when matter freezes out of the energy: 10.9 times 10 to the 12th power Kelvin degrees divided by (or the ratio to) the temperature of the universe today, 2.73 degrees. That's the initial ratio which changes exponentially as the universe expands.)

The calculations come out to be as follows:

1. The first of the Biblical days lasted 24 hours, viewed from the "beginning of time perspective." But the duration from our perspective was 8 billion years.

2. The second day, from the Bible's perspective lasted 24 hours. From our perspective it lasted half of the previous day, 4 billion years.

3. The third 24 hour day also included half of the previous day, 2 billion years.

4. The fourth 24 hour day - one billion years.

5. The fifth 24 hour day - one-half billion years.

6. The sixth 24 hour day - one-quarter billion years.

When you add up the Six Days, you get the age of the universe at 15 and 3/4 billion years. The same as modern cosmology. Is it by chance?

But there's more. The Bible goes out on a limb and tells you what happened on each of those days. Now you can take cosmology, paleontology, archaeology, and look at the history of the world, and see whether or not they match up day-by-day. And I'll give you a hint. They match up close enough to send chills up your spine.





These six inconsistent days of creation must of really tried the patience of the Angels.


I'm imagining a conversation among the Angels and Jinn, "What's God doing lately ?"

Response from another Angel,"yawn Oh, the same old, same old. (Sigh)"

There is no mystery in the quartz seams. It is just a compressed layer of sand. River beds are full of them. A seam of sand in an otherwise thicker layer of gravel metamorphoses into granite with quartz layers. It's very common.




By why doesn't gravity seem to play a role in any of these formations ?

These seams are heading-off in all directions, often in the same piece of rock only a few inches away.

oops Here's what happened, Jesusmyall and Pansytilly...

Everybody has heard the phrase, "Holy Hanna !" or "Holy Dinah !"

I'd remembered the story about Shechem and Dinah, but for some reason I'd remembered one of Sampson's wives, Delilah.

***********************************************

Pansytilly has emphasised the point I was trying to get across to IamwhoIam1.

I'm wondering if the Jewish community actually sees this as a good recourse of actions from the past ? noway
