Short reply to Jack. I would say that committed Christians by and large show a level of humility above that which is shown by the secular world. I disagree. Humility is a natural trait stemming from shyness. . committed Christians? How do you assess these?? 14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! 15 Beware of false prophets, What about Kelvin's 1st Law of thermodynamics? According to that, materialism cannot account for the universe,s existence without sidestepping it. This is like evolution's problem with abiogensis! Just because a man or group of men are materialists, and cannot conceive of a creator, (been there done that) is no justification for accusing him of lying and deceit or lacking in integrity. If the cosmos is geocentric, as we believe, then how did NASA manage to do all the things you give them credit for? How do they prove that they have performed these experiments without us relying on their honesty and integrity? We can't reprocate these experiments independently. Jack I believe you have stated that you have no particular engineering or scientific training. Therefore I would not expect you or myself or many others to be able to replicate many of the applications of science. I have no problem relying upon their honesty and integrity. I know what keeps the boiling water in the billy when I swing it upside down over my head. However, I do not deny the influence of (a) politics at the local puppet level, (b) religious (occult) at the top , and (c) The money power which is the main tool of the occult conspiracy. I can accept that many in scientific employment of these influences can be duped, even if not willing participants in fraudulent science. Some may even consider the justification for a "good Lie" especially when their livelihood depends on having this opinion. That is where the true Christian must "flee from it" . Again I ask you how would you know the outcome is the truth? You would be relying on NASA telling the truth and not from some verifiable experiment. Yes and why not. Unless there was some undeniable evidence to prove Nasa does not deserve our trust, then we can be justified in accepting their word on most things. OK so you claim the Appollo missions a hoax.. The evidence is circumstantial, but even if true, the cold war tensions of the time would have had me going along with it.. Communism was then a real fear, today they have merely won the war.. the fear is less... But this does not make every scientific principle upon which NASA bases its scientific progress in space as false.. They most certainly could have landed a man on the moon if it was not for the Van Allen belts. You need to stop using your imagination and use your senses especially the 'common' variety. You are using assumptions to try and prove your position. You neglect the idea of an aether with everything embedded it it. (isn't that underlined an assumption? Amazing! how many times have I postulated the aether..and you wrote that directly efore my next paragraph, explaining one concept of the aether, " I see a gramaphone record spinning. Its fluid allows local systems movement. There is nothing else outside that fluid. It could be TIME. PART OF A FOUR DIMENSIONAL OBJECT." And then you went so angry, It could be this or it could be that, where do you stop? This kind of speculation is cheap and quite useless, I'm sure edison and friends speculated on sources of light and even on the idea of a telephone. Are you suggesting we should have stopped way back then? certainly in the way that it is expounded as being the truth. I agree, but most people speak with hope as though it were true. How many times have I heard an alleged Christian say, "God helped me, God spoke to me et al They could NEVER know with any certainty such a thing. Astronomy theories are full of words like, it may be, it could be, it is believed. These are words of faith and not science. well are you not contradicting yourself here? Are they not admitting it is a hypothesis, and you accuse them for having faith in it. I have a lot of faith in the atomic theory of electric current, to the point I write it as a fact, whereas I should say "it is believed to be true, it may be" yet you condemn my science either way. The tern science has been twisted out of all recognition and is fast becoming an 'ism'. Only to you Jack! not us all. Finally you say, However MS science is never going to accept the idea of un-caused first cause - a Creator. Any evidence they find that points to this will have to be suppressed with lies, deceit and censorship. It would not be science if they did. Without real evidence belief in a creator is a matter of faith, and above, you have already condemned science when ever they do demonstrate faith based science. The difference is that their faith in the electron is based on evidence that can be ascertained and reasoned upon.. Faith in the creator has no direct evidence, other than the word of some few. Miraculous interventions, even you condemn as being of the devil, yet you can produce none that is from God. an uncaused first cause is a contradiction of basic Physics. Science is looking for a loop. maybe... I would replace the word science with physics in all of the above. Physics is more definitive.. Philip. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Lewis To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 2:51 AM Subject: [geocentrism] True Science Dear Philip, I've copied some of your responses from your last 2 e-mails here so that I can reply in red. Jack you cannot be so cut and dried about it. Especially with your judgemental attitude of lumping types of men together, assuming them to be lacking in humility or other attribute. This is being presumptive, a characteristic you criticise in science.. The natural order of men exists in all men, ye even in, and perhaps more so, among "religious" men. I wasn't cut and dried in lumping all scientists the same. I merely was drawing attention to those Christian scientists whose beliefs were reflected in their attitudes to science. Here's another one for you; I would say that committed Christians by and large show a level of humility above that which is shown by the secular world. It can be said that generally those who show an attitude to life stemming from a belief in Creator and a Christian based morality are more likely to show humility than those who believe life is meaningless and have a morality that is relative and changing. Regarding astronomy you must be aware of the many experiments done on earth, which simulate motion and mechanics which confirm the interactions of bodies. Why is it so improbable that we cannot assume these laws to apply on Mars or anywhere else.. How do you assign properties to these astronomic bodies for Earthly simulation? How do you measure their interactions with each other? In fact I would consider it rather ridiculous to think otherwise. It is based upon these laws that astronomy can make very accurate predictions. What about Kelvin's 1st Law of thermodynamics? According to that, materialism cannot account for the universe,s existence without sidestepping it. This is like evolution's problem with abiogensis! And finally, ignoring the obviously irrational presumptions that we have all played with here by accusing science in general and NASA in particular of being rogues liars and cheats, it is obvious that astronomy or science cannot be getting it all wrong, in light of the highly technical and many times successful probes to other bodies in our solar system, and in particular the Sun. If the sun was a weightless airy fairy lump of fire, as some have tried to suggest, we can be certain the satellites orbiting and flying by it would never perform as they do. The fact that they do so fly is all the confirmation any one would need to affirm that astronomy has got it right as regards its mass and general composition. Most definitely likewise the moon. If the cosmos is geocentric, as we believe, then how did NASA manage to do all the things you give them credit for? How do they prove that they have performed theses experiments without us relying on their honesty and integrity? We can't reprocate these experiments independently. For any one to deny these facts is evidence that they are indeed lacking in knowledge of basic physics, and as such have no right to make such outlandish claims. If science did not speculate, no progress would ever be achieved. e.g. The experiments in the Mars probes will confirm or deny some of these speculations. Again I ask you how would you know the outcome is the truth? You would be relying on NASA telling the truth and not from some verifiable experiment. As far as I can imagine, if it is impossible for the sun to encircle the earth daily at 3.14159x 2 AU per day, Then anything up to infinity likewise. (I'm assuming I worked it out that this orbit was faster than 186000mps, ) some way back, but the principle stands even if I am wrong. I could have asked for Sirius. You need to stop using your imagination and use your senses especially the 'common' variety. You are using assumptions to try and prove your position. You neglect the idea of an aether with everything embedded it it. I see a gramaphone record spinning. Its fluid allows local systems movement. There is nothing else outside that fluid. It could be TIME. PART OF A FOUR DIMENSIONAL OBJECT. It could be this or it could be that, where do you stop? This kind of speculation is cheap and quite useless, certainly in the way that it is expounded as being the truth. Astronomy theories are full of words like, it may be, it could be, it is believed. These are words of faith and not science. The tern science has been twisted out of all recognition and is fast becoming an 'ism'. God is smart and powerful enough to do that is He not? And sections of science are already well and truly discussing this. We are just simple 3D folk. Well I'm glad to hear that more scientists are giving credence to there being a Creator.However MS science is never going to accept the idea of un-caused first cause - a Creator. Any evidence they find that points to this will have to be suppressed with lies, deceit and censorship.
