Why God Did Not Create the Universe

No matter what one believes, we can’t even cure the common cold…LOL…so we’re reduced to one common denominator which is faith….faith in whatever theory you believe in…testing theories against the evidence will never end (a good thing), and if contradictory evidence turns up, the theory must be reevaluated or even abandoned, otherwise it is not science, but myth…

What if the Earth wasn’t in its current orbit and we were 1/4 mile closer to the sun

I heard either we would burn up or freeze to death, depending on the earth placement by less than 1/4 mile. In my younger days, I could throw a rock that far, not really, buy you get the point.

500 years ago, everything we knew about the earth, the sun, our known solar-sytem, well, we were wrong. I'm interested in thinking what our future generations might learn in the next 500 years.

It's nice being in a room with some really smart people.

Being a child of the sixties; Timothy Leary explained it this way; you're god, everything your think is created and infinite, and ceases, when the thought is no longer present. The universe you know is the one created by and for you by others. Thus religion is due more to geographic circumstance than to the existence of quantifiable data.

I’ll see your orbit…

And raise you..

(Now, just to make sure we don't mislead you, the Earth's overall orbit or distance from the sun would make a difference if it were located say where Mercury is or where Pluto is. As Dr. Jack Hall from ecology.com's Dr. Jack's Natural World says: "It's the three bears syndrome. We're not too close to the sun, and we're not too far away. We're j-u-u-u-u-st right!)

Just give me a warp drive.
