Plasma cosmology

Hello, CF! I had to look up the references that you have cited and here is what I found:Some astronomers look at the stars and planets through a telescope. Author Danny Faulkner views them through a biblical perspective in this unique book. Written for the well-read layman from high school through adult, Universe by Design explores and explains the historical development of this science, including current ideas in the field. From a creationist standpoint, Faulkner also addresses common misconceptions, difficulties, and critiques about relativity and cosmology. This book would be an excellent supplement to any home school curriculum. This sounds like an interesting book, but I am not much of a science guy. I have read some of the articles distributed by Answers In Genesis and Ken Ham, but as a believer (also a Christ fanatic) I concluded that I.D. did not make sense. You seem much better educated in science than I am,however!I believe that this topic would be better placed in Intelligent Design. Big Bang and Cosmology is a science perspective rather than a creationist perspective. Do you object to this topic in Intelligent Design? I realize that one of the drawbacks is that you cannot interact with many of the people here because they already do not believe in the I.D. theories. Aside from what Faulker believes, (which no doubt is convincing) why do you believe in Intelligent Design?In other words, science forums use references from other scientists.
Faith forums use references from the Bible.You have one primary reference from an author who touts the I.D. perspective. You DO seem to have a scientific quest, however. If you want to explain to me why you think that Faulkner makes sense, lets discuss it!I am one of the Faith moderators here at EvC. I love Jesus, and I like science a lot! My questions and perspectives concerning the Big Bang and Cosmology are these:
1) Eternally existing Creator? (Yes)
2) Possibility of Creator allowing life to "evolve" on Earth? (Yes)
3) Will humans "evolve" so as to understand the mind of Christ/God? (No)At this point, lets discuss what you believe if you wish...or you can ignore the "faith" aspect and continue in your discussions with our many biologists and science minded folk. Most of them do not believe that I.D. is a compatible science...perhaps in your dialogues with them you will soon see why. And if you wanna talk about it casually, we can meet in the coffee house! Hang in there!This message has been edited by Phatboy, 09-18-2005 08:53 AM
