Not within the atoms and electrons , or is it.... Paul saith, "The Bible was written by God? I seem to recall you agreeing with me that it was not but was written by men who claim to have been guided by God. " A slightly different view I had Paul.. The men who wrote it claimed nothing .. Other men in council, claiming the authority to do so, have made a declaration that the Bible is the Word of God, and thus that it was written by men under the "control" or inspiration of the Holy ghost, which means God. We know of other books not gathered among these books, that are also considered as inspired, but not cannonised as so. Also remember that only the original writing can be called inspired.Most if not all of which are long gone. . Subsequent copies are not so inspired or protected from error, and can be corrupted, hence the need for an Authority on earth to check, verify and then authorise, the copies to be true renditions. That extreme variation occurs is proof of such a need, otherwise the claim that it is the Word of God is pointless. After all that, we then come to interpretation, which can be just as varied and contradictory. The Catholic church in council claims the authority to rule on interpretation, but most of it is still in the "do your own thing " category, so long as it does not conflict with basic doctrine already declared. Hence, my quote where He answered Pilate's utterance "What is truth?" with "Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. " Notice the exclusion clause.. eh? I think that is more profound than Pilates question.

I thought this wouldn't work for the same reason that light microscopes can't see molecules. Please don't press me for an explanation -- I'm on very shaky ground here. Proton/neutron did sound an alarm if nothing else from the position of mass but I thought it might just be my ignorance. Proton/electron being a neutron I had not heard previously. The masses and equalised charge sound plausible. Won't venture further. I don't question that the various particles are detectable and countable. IBM wrote -- it is claimed -- "IBM" by depositing individual atoms on a substrate. I don't question that either. What would it profit them to lie? And such feats have a habit of cropping up in next year's trendy disposable toys thoughtlessly and without any sense of wonder, used to fill holes in the ground. We are surrounded by Philistines Phil ... er ... moving right along! |[:-) Philip, I don't think I can recall a single instance of your claiming that any part of science is faked. On the contrary, you seem concerned to preserve what is known and to seek to incorporate it into your philosophy. That you do so by what I see as an artifact is the point where we diverge but right up to that point I have noted many instances where I admire your insight. Keep astonishing me. The Bible was written by God? I seem to recall you agreeing with me that it was not but was written by men who claim to have been guided by God. My suggestion of rewriting a section of the Bible would contain no blasphemy but rather would simply contain the caveats you seem to crave in science reporting. And Pilate's utterance "What is truth?" is about as profound a question as can be asked.
