New astrophysical discoveries leave little to no room for Atheism, expert says

This is all well and good, but I wonder what he thinks about membrane theory (which attempts, using 11-dimensional mathematics, to explain what happened before this singularity -- essentially promoting the idea of multiple universes sharing multidimensional space).

Ping to read tomorrow.

This is all well and good, but if you REALLY want to see evidence for the existence of God, check out the Mandelbrot Set.

idea of multiple universes sharing multidimensional space

That would explain those mornings when I wake up in a whole different world.

.....unless the Universe is closed-collapsed....in which case the Big Bang may have been one of an infinite number.

Although, I tend to believe in a Prime Mover, of some sort.

I think one could sufficiently write up a convincing dissertation (or thesis) proving that God withholds certain elements of “common sense” from those in the upper echelon of science (such as the above)..and grants it to the poor.

Just a note to all you heathens/pagans.

"John 14:6"

That's all you need to know.

“Every single Big Bang model shows the existence of what scientists call a ‘singularity,’ ... The priest physicist then proceeded to explain the different, complex versions of the various Bing Bang theories.

The Big Bang Never Happened.

The apostle Paul did something along those lines in Romans 1.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...”

[M Kehoe]

Think about this, all you atheists reading this post.

If I am wrong about G-d, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and His Son, Jesus the Christ, what do I lose?

But, if I'm right...

Is a little knowledge a dangerous thing?

[markomalley]

Nothing like Pascal’s Wager, huh?

[Verginius Rufus]

I’m guessing that Fr. Robert Spitzer is not a close relative of Eliot Spitzer.

“If I am wrong about G-d, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and His Son, Jesus the Christ, what do I lose?”

Isn’t this called Pascal’s Wager?

[markomalley]

Don’t know if this is appropriate to ping your lists or not, but consider yourselves pinged...

[JRandomFreeper]

I know which way I place my bets. Pascal's Theorem is a pretty good idea.

“This is all well and good, but if you REALLY want to see evidence for the existence of God, check out the Mandelbrot Set.”

Please explain; I am not questioning you on this to be critical, I honestly want to know your explanation for how this provides evidence of God. I looked into the Mandelbrot Set, and it seems fascinating, but somehow I missed out on whatever evidence you saw for God.

A singularity does not necessarily imply that there is a God.

What the singularity does imply is a nexus to another dimension of space time.

Whether “God” is there or not, can only be proven by accessing that gateway ( which some say we do upon death.)

This is an interesting aspect of science, but a singulariity to another dimension could just as easily connect to hell as well as heaven, so we have to be very careful about what we assume.

We know little about singularities. In fact some scientists believe that micro-singularities might temporarily exist throughout our own universe and even on the Earth itself.
