You can be both a scientifically rational person and a christian

Your arrogance is astounding. In fact it maybe the only infinite thing we can observe in our universe. However, if you insist upon this being your only argument I have no problem continuing as I have already addressed the issues you brought forth in my previous argument. You may want to take a look at them if you can make it past the pun that stopped you in your tracks before. As eluded to at the beginning of this argument, infinity is a concept that is persistently elusive in our physical universe. We know that the universe had a beginning and we also know that it is still expanding but there is a limit to its "bigness" and is therefore finite. Well if we can't get infinitely bigger, what about smaller. You would think that if I cut a line in half I could take that half and cut it in half again and repeat this process forever always having a line half as big as the previous line but that's not true. You see quantum physics as revealed to us that there are limits to how small you can get before you lose the property of locality. Suddenly if you get any smaller than 1*10^-26 cm to be precise you are everywhere all at the same time. Infinity does not exist inside our physical universe. The only other concept that is as elusive as infinity is true randomness and the closest we can get is pseudo-randomness. That's all well and good but how does it effect what the bible teaches. Well first of all, because of one of my personal heroes, Einstein, who was a firm Jewish believer I might add, we know that we live in more than 3 dimensions. In fact, because of Einstein's theory of relativity we know that we live in 4, back and forth, left and right, up and down, and time. His greatest discovery was that time is a physical property and how we experience time changes due to mass acceleration and gravity. Time is not a constant and is relative to your position in space-time. In fact particle physics has found that "Our universe is but a shadow of a larger reality". This is a quote taken directly from Scientific American in which the article explains that by using particle accelerators scientists have confirmed that we live in at minimum 10 different dimensions, 4 of which are directly measurable and the other 6 are curled in a space smaller than 1*10^-26 cm and therefore can only be inferred by indirect means. Our universe is finite, and not only that but is digital. We know that the universe is composed of atoms and in those atoms you have protons electrons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus and the electrons then revolve in orbitals around the nucleus. However, of the total volume of the atom less than %99.99 percent of it has any physical mass. If I pointed to a table and said there was nothing there and you pointed to it and said there was I would be %99.99 more correct than you. What we experience as solid is nothing more than the attraction and repulsion of electrical charges. Our entire universe runs on a digital code. Now a computer scientist would look at that and then look at the universe and say that there was absolutely no rational way that a binary program as complex as the universe could ever just be. There had to be a programmer and that programmer would need to exist outside our dimensions of time and space. Even so there are those that would say, the bible claims that the universe was created in 6, 24 hour days how then do you explain the measured age of the universe being close to 14 billion years. Put quite simply, both maybe true. If you are at all familiar with Einstein's work you need to ask yourself who's clock are you going off of and where are you taking the measurement from. 14 billion years or six days? Today, we look back in time and we see approximately 14 billion years of history and those years went by. But how would they be perceived from the Bible"s perspective of time? Looking forward from when the universe was very small " billions of times smaller " the Bible teaches that six days passed. In truth, they both are correct. What"s exciting about the last few years is that we now have quantified the data to know the relationship between the perception of time from the beginning of stable matter, the threshold energy of protons (their nucleosynthesis), looking forward and our measure of the history of the universe. It"s not science fiction any longer. A dozen physics textbooks all bring the same generalized number. The general relationship of the stretching of space between the era of proton anti-proton formation, that time near the beginning at the threshold energy of protons when the first stable matter formed, and time today is a million million. That"s a 1 with 12 zeros after it. Space has stretched by a million million. So when a view from the beginning looking forward says "I"m sending you a pulse every second," would we see a pulse every second? No. We"d see one every million million seconds. That"s the stretching effect of the expansion of the universe on the perception of time. The biblical text shows us (and the Talmud confirms) that the soul of Adam was created five and a half days after the big bang creation. That is a half day before the termination of the sixth day. At that moment the cosmic calendar ceases and an earth based calendar starts. How would we see those days stretched by a million million? Five and a half days times a million million, gives us five and a half million million days. Dividing that by 365 days in a year, comes out to be 15 billion years. NASA gives a value of just under 14 billion years. Considering the many approximations, and that the Bible works with only six periods of time, the agreement to within a few percent is extraordinary. The universe is billions of years old but from the biblical perspective those billions of years compress into five and a half, 24 hour days. This excerpt is by Nuclear Physicist, and Doctor of Earth Sciences and Physics, Gerald Schroeder who also taught and MIT for 5 years before moving to Israel and while he is a creationist his work has been proved mathematically sound by many other secular scientists and has been lectured on at multiple universities around the country. He goes on to mention that since this discovery a colleague pointed out that he forgot to account for the increase in the expansion rate, after doing to his results change from 15 billion years to 13.6 billion. The current age according to the WMAP is currently 13.7 billion. Still others will comment, and say what about the fossil record. Using the fossil record is not a reliable way to date the Earth and it come down to how different fossils and rock layers are dated. They are estimated by the assumption that evolutionist Bio-genesis is true even though as stated in my previous argument it has not been proved to be and is built off of completely circular reasoning. Example: How do you know that fossil is 6 billion years old? Well because it was found in the 6 Billion year old rock layer. OK how do you know how old the rock layer is? Well because we found the 6 billion year old fossil. It completely falls apart. On top of this we know that fossilization is very rare process and can only occur under extreme amounts of pressure like the kind that would be created from, oh I don't know, a global flood. That's crazy except by studying the angle at which the all the different rock layers from we find that they could only form under water. Not only this but we have found that some of the fossils still have in tact tissue which implies almost instantaneous fossilization. Not only does this support a biblical view but studies done on the salinity of the oceans, the half life of the Earths magnetic field, the thickness of the moon dust layer, and the rate of sediment deposition of the Mississippi river delta all imply a young Earth. Still atheistic science will never acknowledge any of these and why, because you need billions and billions of years for evolution and instead of teaching what science has shown us, people like you would have us remain in the dark, forever unaware of any opinion other than your own. You would rather propagate bad science and force a lie to be taken as truth, rather than admit that your god of nothingness might not exist. However, I am not a madman, nor will I be willingly ignorant nor do I hold what I believe to be true as unquestionable. I will not close my mind to reason and I will consider whatever is proposed to me but I will test it and see if it is true. You claim that Christians who believe in the Bible or God are fools and close-minded people but you are hypocritical in saying so and contradict yourself. You claim that we close our eyes to science and the reality of the world and but how much have you really looked into and proved to yourself, or do you just listen to another and take their word for it. You have as much faith in your textbooks as we Christians have in the Bible. Everything that science has built as far as astronomy and biology relies on the idea that the Earth has to be billions and billions of years old and yet physics both particle and cosmological, astronomy, biochemistry, computer science, chemical oceanography, and geography all point towards the biblical account of creation and make absurd your notion of a god of nothingness and randomness. As for me and millions of others, we look at the universe and we don't see randomness, confusion, and chaos but the absolute beauty of a highly skillful design.
