More "miscellany" (General)

Cosmic philosophy: Big Bang or not?

DAVID: I can't write what I mean? Guth's theorem is accepted! It is the best we've got! Something had to precede the BB. Not material. Therefore God.

dhw: But you keep telling us that his theory is that the universe came from nothing and there was no “before” the BB. Does he say that something had to precede the BB and it couldn’t have been material and therefore it must have been God? Or is that you disagreeing with him?


Guth as a true scientist dare not mention God. As far as he is concerned we appear from nothing. Stop quibbling.


How whales sleep and How bat echolocation works

DAVID: As usual, I don't accept your magical designing cells.

dhw: OK, but you still can’t explain how every single wonder, including all those that disappeared countless millions of years ago, could have been in preparation for and part of the goal of evolving humans and our food.

DAVID: Back to necessary ecosystems for our food.

dhw: So every single life form and natural wonder in the whole history of life, including bat echolocation, was necessary to provide us with food. What the heck are we going to do if bats become extinct, and what the heck would we have eaten if there hadn’t been brontosauruses 150 million years ago?


Today's ecosystems work just fine to feed us. The past brontosaurus fed just fine in his systems.


Bechly on Darwin’s gap problem


dhw: I would like to know if you yourself debunk the record of apelike to human. And I’d also like to know Bechly’s own explanation of the gaps, which are universally acknowledged.

DAVID: Again pure Darwinism. Charles hoped for fill-in forms. They don't exist! Bechly offers a truism. If we hunt for 160 years and always find the same gaps, there must be gaps. So dhw, keep on dreaming for unfound forms.

dhw: I am not denying that there are gaps! I have offered two possible explanations for the gaps. Meanwhile, I have asked you two questions which you have not answered. I have bolded them for you.


Second first: Bechly simply accepts them as true gaps in God's design. And yes I am sure God designed us from His ape designed forms. Any good designer designs from past preparations or knowledge. My medical office designs came from my previous experiences.

Once again we rush into your naïve idea of design. Your plays are allowed to act in your mind to create themselves. Many playwrights write to make a point and you know that. That is now a real God works assuming there is a real God.
