I'm glad you asked that question before I did. The bible is not the "larger" picture. That is your guess of what it may be. That doesn't answer my questions at all.
Fine tuning is precisely what is observed.
That video is a red herring in what we are discussing. I'm well aware of how the universal forces support our form of life as we know it and how adjustments would be catastrophic. The problem is you are confusing the cause and the effect. Life evolved from this universe and became finely tuned TO the universal forces. If it didn't it would have never evolved in the first place. No evidence suggests the universal forces were adjusted to support life. And again, we're talking our known form of life. There could be others, and its possible that if the forces were indeed a little different, life would have still evolved, it just would be very different. It also could most likely not survive in our universe. Our ability to measure forces does NOT mean they were designed, it's merely a measurement of the way things are. If we don't know the cause of the forces, we can't just take wild guess about them, well at least not in regards to science.
If the sole purpose of the universe was for life, designed by an all powerful creator, then why is life so rare in the universe? Why would supernovas be necessary for life to evolve? Why the constant extinction level events? If the universe was created, it was certainly not by an all powerful being. I'd expect to see a planet with life at every star in a designed universe, unless the designer(s) were indeed limited in their power, and used a very inefficient and time consuming process. This still has nothing at all to do with evolution. Believe me, I'm agnostic to the possibility of creation, but as far as science goes, there's nothing that suggests it. Only people's opinions.

And what you just did here is called "preaching"
It isn't based on objective evidence...compared to the theory of evolution...

Your premise is based on misplaced concreteness.
The theory is needed to force the conclusion. With a Creator, the conclusion forces itself upon the implication of the observation.
Not only this, but the latest theory revisions support the conclusion of design to such a degree that little doubt can be left.
. Sun and moon are 2 becoming one??? I don't follow your conclusion in the least. How do you explain asexual reproduction?
To assume that the universe is devoid of life is to assume we have direct observation. We don't have observation to determine the presence of life, but we do have one example that is a duplicate of what we see all around us in the universe.By the one observation, we then draw the simplest conclusions. Two become one for life on a planet. This is a process that is repeated like all unions in nature. The entire enterprise is designed for the support of consciousness in a bio-mechanical vehicle. The purpose is to discover and observe the hidden God.

Theory is stacked on theory to force the conclusion. This is the problem evolution has because the entire premise is built on the theory, not evidence. As I have stated before, entropy in information theory and collapsing wave function in quantum mechanics destroys the theory in place of the truth. Life is designed.
[Evolution must agree with all scientific theory. The theory specific to evolution is based on the negation of design as a factor. The most obvious cause of life is design, yet the theory goes out of its way to avoid the possibility. This is not science. This is bais.
Apart from the sun and the moon being in the sky, there would be no life on the planet. Life starts by the union of the two as a primary mechanism for deriving energy in living systems. No sun and moon equals no life. Seasons, tides and migration all happen as a result of the moon cycles and our orbit around a magnetic center. Not only this, but all life derives its energy from the sun first. The entire focus of nature is two becoming one. It's a pattern that is centered around a design that all of nature obeys. Evolution has no answer to what governs the process. This is why evolution is an observed result of the rest and not the cause. A concept does not cause a universe. Law causes a universe and energy is the prima materia of the collapsing wave function as consciousness changes the states of matter through information. As I easily point out, entropy is caused by information in movement. It's the same reason your computer gets hot.
Leonard Susskind demonstrates that the universe is holographic in nature. A hologram of gemeotery, information and energy to form cannot be accidental. Entropy is caused by information transfer as the states of matter change. Consciousness is the only thing that can change the states of matter for a purpose. Did you watch the video below? The lie is to cling to the deception that creation and design cannot possibly be the simplest answer that fits all of the latest theory.

The gematria number value of YHVH is not 777 but 26:
Yod: Y = 10
Heh: H = 5
Vav: V = 6
Heh: H = 5
Total = 26
Before you can understand nature, you have to master gematria.
Please forward me to Susskind's peer reviewed scientific experiments that prove holographic universe. I'm not looking for the same youtube lecture that's already been posted. I want to see the hard evidence that his lecture is based on. Holographic universe is FAR from being proven, and if you've got something that shows otherwise, I'd love to see it.

I asked for the peer reviewed studies that confirm it. I can't watch youtube videos at work, so I'll be hoping that when I get home tonight the peer reviewed experiments will be posted as I requested. Youtube videos are NOT peer reviewed science experiments. Don't get me wrong, I'll still take a look at them when I get home, but I'm more about the hard science.

I see. Twelve apostles. 12/7 = 1.7142857.. The seventh digit is seven. Yes, this proves everything. In all seriousness, what do you think gematria proves, I mean other than the writers and editors being familiar with it. Also, jews don't believe into a trinity, so your interpretation of 777 symbolizing it is almost certainly wrong.

The Kabbalah contains the Trinity. Putting this aside, we can look at what the Bible says of the subject. First, on science.
For whatever reason, what we experience as witnesses now will be taught to us correctly later. We are witnessing a shadow of what is to come by example. With this reasoning, the shadow of things to come is locked into the word in such a way that it defies our reasoning of it at this current stage. It is not unnoticed to us. The divine nature of the Word of God goes way beyond our ability to see clearly. I feel that this is why Jesus addressed the angles of the churches and not the churches themselves. There is a larger world beyond our view. There is an evil element and a divine element. We are caught in the middle, but protected by the divine. It's all for a purpose that is outlined from Genesis to revelation. The main secrets are outlined in Ephesians.

If you are calling that hard evidence, then I guess that's where the problem is. I admit the math adds up and there is probably a lot more to quantum mechanics, but it's not proof of design. That could just be the way that it is. Using the metaphor of pixels for particles isn't the same as saying we are digital or programmed. Everything in the universe essentially is energy. What else would you expect when examining energy at its deepest level? If you interpret that as design, I got no problem with that, but it's certainly not hard evidence. It's definitely a cool theory to read about.
As for the evolution video, Kent Hovind is a proven fraud. Stephen Meyer essentially does the same thing you are doing now, by throwing random scientific facts around and then making assumptions about them. Not a single one of those guys has a peer reviewed science paper published, let alone "hard evidence" of anything. Hovind lies constantly and personal interpretations of scientific facts are opinions.

But did the inventor of Kabbalah write Torah (e.g. old testament)? I don't think so, so again, your interpretation of 777 symbolizing trinity is almost certainly wrong. Also, I read that the Kabbalah containing the trinity is but one interpretation, e.g. there is another one that posits 10 gods (look e.g. here, no trinity, but 10). But I guess, we are allowed to interpret stuff as we like so it better fits our preconceived notions, right?

All this, proven to you by gematria? Care to explain, how exactly? Preferably in your own words instead of Bible quotes..edit on 3-4-2012 by rhinoceros because: (no reason given)
