Welcome to the forums Saleen!


Guys, haven't you seen demonstrated again, that the belief in a divinity comes from an arrogance that states that it's too complex not to be coming from a higher intelligence? I told you...

The Big Bang is still a theory, and actually, there are many other theories. The point however, is that they are theories, based on facts. They are not part of the body of accepted human knowledge, because there is no irrefutable proof. Just like Einstein, many of his theories have been proven wrong.

Some have theorised that the universe is expanding, and will eventually contract. Some say it's perfectly still. some of those that say it's moving have expanded it to state that the universe's boundary is moving at a speed greater than that of light!

We are however trying to get to an understanding, because it's also in our nature to be curious.

There's been some recent discoveries, about black holes that turned out to be rather surprising: our own galaxy is turning into a black hole, and there are far, far many more black holes than were previously thought. Maybe that's armageddon, maybe that's a hurdle that God put in our path for us to leap over, but regardless, we will survive. (not to worry, your great-great grandchildren won't live to see that day: it's way, way ahead in the future!)

There are still many, many things that science is unable to explain. The strangest of limitations is preventing us from giving clear explanations about all these alleged UFO sightings. When you look at the sheer size of breathable air on this little ball of dirt, it then becomes obvious that it's an area of knowledge that's for us hard to comprehend, because we have not dedicated the required resources to investigate them, so many things still happen that we're unable to explain.

One thing that was explained, is this so called alien abduction. It may still be a theory, but is acceptable (to me): low frequency magnetic waves, which typically appear shortly prior to an earthquake, are suspected to affect our brains in such a way that it makes any vision (or dream) seem very real. There is backup on this effect, but the human brain itself is still a mystery!

Science is limited, but has reached a point where it will clash with some religions.

Recent archeoligical discoveries identified a cataclismic (sp?) flooding of the Black sea, which may have been recorded in some history records, under different forms...

The problem with a faith base, is that many things can be interpreted in many different ways and yet again, without any proof: it's still just a belief. Scientifically, that's called a theory, except that science will have facts as backup.

It's also possible to theorize, or predict, future events. Based on a mix of facts and instinct, it's really not hard at all to predict future events. Nostradamus comes to mind, and although he might have been wrong in a few instances, or off in others, some of his predictions can arguably said to have come true.
