Titan, one of the Moons of Saturn has rivers of Methane, Volcanoes of Ice, and an Atmosphere... it's basically Earth if we were in Hell. *8v)
But studies suggest that Titan has what it takes to develop life.. it just hasn't. Too Cold, the reaction just hasn't kicked off, etc.

If we sent a group of Methane dependant organisms to Titan.. and basically "Play God", is it 'UnEthical'? Or simply a Planetary Petri Dish?

I am a Christian but get VERY annoyed when I hear other Christians be dogmatic about their opinions - especially in areas like science...

Discounting other (usually highly intelligent) people's work without even taking the time to try and understand it, makes Christians look ignorant and limited... not surprising that some people look at Christianity as a crutch for the weak (which it is not!!)...

Take the "Big Bang Theory" as an example... statistically incalculable odds that these events took place... so why can't this be the miracle of God's Creation??

Can parts of Science and Religion acually compliment each other if done so with discernment and Godly assistance?

The lines are parallel to the opposite side but the top and side is not perpendicular. The sides look a little slanted. Top and bottom is straight. And the top and bottom is longer.

The system of linear equations

a(sub)1 + 2a(sub)2 +a(sub)3 - a(sub)4 =0
3a(sub)1 + 2a(sub)2 - 3a(sub)3 =0
-4a(sub)1 - 4a(sub)2 + 2a(sub)3 + a(sub)4 =0
2a(sub)1 -4a(sub)3 =0

Can you explain how to solve this equation?
When I looked up the solution manual, there was
no explanation for it. They just put the answer.
The answer was
a(sub)1 = 4
a(sub)2 = -3
a(sub)3 = 2
a(sub)4 = 0

Can someome please show me the steps of this equation?

EX) a(sub)1 means that there is a little 1(one) next to the "a".
The 1(one) has to be below the "a".

If you have the measurment 7.4kg for example, what does the .2 mean. I thought it meant that the true measurment could be either 7.2 or 7.6 but now I'm not so sure.

I saw a satellite in space with my own 2 eyes and no help with binoculars. It was up in Canada. The sky was dark and clear. I thought it was pretty neat. They move pretty fast. I've also seen mars but with binoculars in Canada otherwise it just looked like some huge star.

If the universe is infinite a point of singularity (Big Bang) never could have unexpectedly occurred.
It would be like drawing a dot on a piece of paper. Except that paper would have to be infinite, and that dot would have to be singularity.

To me that's logically impossible to have something exist in the point of an infinite universe.
Maybe big bangs are happening every where. I think we have it all wrong, I think its something else besides a big bang.
A black hole is formed from one big star collapsing there is no reason that a enormous ball of matter would not collapse furthermore since it has a much greater gravitational pull, and increased density of that of any star.

What I think is that the universe is not infinite at all.
One diverse reason being that even time is made up of particular matter, that co-exists with space

I believe at the end of the universe there is the "stillness of space, and time."
There is more to the theory, but am I missing something crucial
