My last post as well....
A couple things to relate and ponder....and it is scientific:
1.
Scientists in our day have come full swing to an unbelievable conclusion! The conclusion is that the universe "actually" had a beginning! Unbelievable because for several hundred years all of the scientists around the world essentially were unanimous in their conviction that the world (universe) was eternally existing.
They had a simple reason for this. The citadel of our science is called the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, which states that a "natural process" cannot bring into existence something from nothing!
Take a guitar as an example, since it is existing and "something", and since a "natural process" cannot bring into existence something from nothing.....then....whatever it is ultimately made of must have been in existence forever. This is known as the "Steady State" theory.
Virtually every scientist were convinced this had to be true! Interestingly enough,.....before the turn of the century(last), theologians have been interpreting the first 3 words of the bible,......."In the beginning...."
They were pondering God's creation out of nothing. An "ex nihilo" creation (something out of nothing).
Comparing the two you will have a violent contradiction.
So.....how can you have a beginning when scientists are completely convinced that a "natural process" cannot bring something into existence?
It was just in the last 10-15 years or so that the cosmologists of the world came to the conclusion that the universe INDEED had a beginning! A creation out of "nothing". And now what we find is that the new Inflationary Theory of the Universe and is approximately 10-15 years old has mathematical equations whose interpretation is consistent with this understanding! It appears theologians had this right all along!

But perhaps what's even "most" staggering than all of that! ……
…..is the fact that all of our cosmological models (and they do differ), are all unified with respect to one conclusion!.....
When the universe came into existence, it should have almost immediately thereafter…… gone out of existence!!
As a matter of fact, it should have gone out of existence in a time interval so short that it would be……..(deep breath taken)….. ….
1 ten millionth, of a billionth, of a billionth, of a billionth, of a billionth of a second!
This would be written a decimal point followed by 43 zeros then a 1!!
Called a Planck time.
The universe should have gone out of existence virtually instantaneously after it came into existence!
Why did it not do so? Why is it measured today to be around 13 billion years old or so?
For the simple reason, (and we don't understand why in a scientific sense we don't), that it was "tuned" at inception to better than 50 decimal places! ..Astonishing!
There is no natural process that even approaches that degree of precision!!
This fine tuning has been likened to balancing a needle on it's tip on a flat surface. The "minutest" deviation in balance in any direction will topple the needle! This means that the "minutest" in deviation in the expansion rate of our universe will have devastating consequences. Slightly slower and the universe collapses in on itself. Slightly faster and matter would not coalesce.
It is fair to say, that that kind of "tuning" could rationally be called a supernatural tuning if you will, the "inorganic" fingerprints of an intelligence of unfathomable dimension!
(Manning, I enjoy your intellect.....Peace)
Peace all.
I'm out.
ps. Clarky, been following your threads! Definitely enjoy your approaches to CC and morphing!! Still following!
