Thank you uncleal, I can't believe we are finally in a greament on something. I never thought it would happen. I just got a great laugh reading what you wrote. Not bad mon.
You are not just a disgruntled chemicaluncleAl thast I thought you were, you are also a very sensitive, and funny guy when you want to be. You have potential.
Permit me to add to what you have so eloquently write, though, what follows is mostly a continuation of the idea spelled out in my previous post, see above.
Also, I hope, Juicy_Fruit_2005 (nice name) that this will solve the problem you seek to solve for school: remember though to tell your teacher: it is not the quantity that, but the quality that counts:
The Big Bang miracle and its litter of Black Holes involve the relaxing or suspension of the physical laws of nature and the enacting of supernatural forces. (Miracle, or, Dunamis in Greek, is defined as ‘inherent ability…works of supernatural origin and character, such as could not be produced by natural agents and means’). True miracles are therefore contrary to, outside of, and above nature, physically and naturally impossible. The miracles of Bibletimes continue, however, to produce Faith (Jn. 20: 30,31): the Perfect thing.
What the world is dealing with, then, is not a problem of nature, but of the mind. The question is hardly startling. In a sense, the world’s imagination has been tainted with blaring assertions of brutal candor for eons. Recall an ancient Hindu text:
If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One.
I am become death, The shatterer of the worlds.
Why are the big bang high priests themselves divided on the issue? Really, they are not. There is one phrase in the English language that best outlines the central belief, the consensus omnium, and aspiration among cosmologists worldwide. “There is no God other than the big bang, and inflation is our prophet.” But this phrase exemplifies the Grand Unitarian Theories, (GUTs).
Even the average person with no theological ax to grind is apt to envisage both black hole and big bang singularities as stealthy objects or events indistinguishable from the bewildering array of such creatures as ghosts, goblins, fairies, phantoms, angels, demons, devils, gods, demigods, imps, jinns, trolls, sprites, nymphs, Keebler elves, fauns, wish-nicks, poltergeists and other apparition-like spirits. Some of them are compassionate; some are malicious, though the majority alternate amid the two extremes, and all of which are the cosmythologists worst nightmare. Beloved, rejoice that a great blunder is about to be undone.
