RC: The issue of which religions among the thousands are possibly true can
begin with a comparison of their respective creation myths and the true
picture of the beginning as understood through the sciences. Any one
So which genesis story of creation should be applied here ?
RC: that is self-contradictory, that is in discord with the known laws and
forces of physics (i.e. thermodynamics, electromagitism, etc.), or that
makes patently false factual statements can be excluded out of hand.
Following this analysis, we will be left with very few--Christianity and
a few others.
RC: One thing that Pim should understand is that Christianity is the only
religion in the world in which supernaturalism and superdemensionalism
are absolutely essential. Without these elements, it would no longer be
Christianity. Moreover, it is the only religion of the world whose
image of G-d demands the 10+ dimensional universe as proposed by Stephen
Hawking.
Oh boy.... I guess the bible also predicted the theory of relativity ?
Given enough stories and enough time and one can always find something
which could be perceived to be a prediction of science.Of course when the
bible fails in its science it should not detract one from the 'truth' ? Is
this the argument ?
And what if Hawking is wrong ? Like those who claimed the earth was the
center of the universe ? Or flat ? Or that pi=3 ?
And how are miracles in accord with known laws and forces of physics ?
