Note to original poster - if you don't already know, you can safely disregard any posts by Daniel Joseph Min. He's a notorious crank and troll.

Why would you call his well written posts trolling? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I do humbly thank you for your civilized, and appreciative, reply. It is a rarity around these groups, to say the least. The religious orthodox ILLiberal Atheists, such as to whom you previously replied, are consistently, ergo predictably, pathologically intolerant of all non-Liberal/Atheist views, observations, tests, theories, conclusions, teachings, etc. Thank God the Pinko Atheists have permanently lost control. They're just kicking & screaming on their way to the grave. :) Enjoy!

Thus, if there really are any "big bangs", then they would occur locally on a scale which can only be deemed relative. Alleged evidence for a cosmic "big bang" is flimsy at best, but I respect those who believe in one or more variants of the "big bang" theory. Just as I respect those who believe in the theory of "evolution". But they need to acknowledge that a very significant percentile of the world's populace do not confine their own personal beliefs to what orthodox science or religion believes, teaches, etc. That's one reason I believe that the theory of Intelligent Design will become a tremendous springboard, a renaissance for academia, which will catapult science and religion into new and uncharted territory: by including the plurality of theories, observations, tests, conclusions, teachings, etc. in the mainstream curriculum of public schools, and higher education across-the-board. I believe humankind will learn to respect the great diversity of scientific and religious opinions, and will thus learn a great deal from each other, and in the process learn a whole lot more about themselves. All Hallow's Even, Daniel Joseph Min http://www.2hot2cool.com/11/danieljosephmin/ |
