Religion & Spirituality - 3 October 2006

Every time it comes on, i never hear them mention the artist names. It puts you in the mind of a Kurt Carr or Fred Hammond song with a female singer in the background that says "I need you Lord, I need you Lord". It is one of my favorites and I thought this would be the quickest way to find out the name before I download it. Thanks and God Bless.

if through science and/or spiritual technological advancement, got to a point where you could be transferred from the body you have, into a new body, like an artificially created body, would you do it?

like what I'm thinking of would be that say you'd get elderly, or critically ill, have the process started and this new, empty body would be made/grown/whatever, and aged to say teens or 20's or whatever as you like, and a procedure would be done to transfer you from your old body, into the new one. mind, memories, soul, everything, you'd go to sleep, and wake up in this new body, still you, remembering everything, and go on living in that body.

I do NOT mean a "copy" system like in the movie 6th Day, but a transfer, such that if you actually died regularly, you'd be dead-dead, but that you could avoid dying from a illness or age.

so would you, and what religious/spiritual beliefs do you hold?

I've read in the bible in many places and it seems to me there is a high value placed on the "Beleiving" such as: Blessed are those that have not seen yet "Believe". That who so ever shall "Believe" in me shall have eternal life etc...

Are you with me....??

It seems clear to me that this "Believing" part seems to be mandatory.

So we have a very old book "the Bible" and the stories written in them...most of us have never witnessed the level of miracles the bible
describes...and then the story of Christ as God and the creator of everything came and died for us...and then asked to accept all of this without question....yet we are required to just "believe" that this happened...and somehow this means we have eternal life in heaven with God...just "believe" that God raised Jesus from the dead...etc


Why the "Just Believe" in something that on the surface seems hard to be believe...but that seems to be the magic key.


help me understand!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The discovery by John Mather and George Smoot of "cosmic ripples," which won them the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday, was lauded in 1992 by cosmologist Stephen Hawking as "the greatest discovery of the century, if not of all time."

While most physicists do not go that far, they are universal in their praise of the experiment, in which the pair and their team designed a satellite and used it to find proof of the Big Bang theory of the universe's origins.

They found faint variations in microwave radiation that dated back to just 300,000 years after the fiery birth of the universe.

These ripples in the microwave radiation, they said, were the primordial framework on which the galaxies, stars and other stuff of the universe took shape. It explained why the universe is lumpy and not a smooth sheet of matter and energy.

"The discovery changed everything," said Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist at Case Western University in Ohio.

"It produced a revolution in what we know about the universe -- we know it is expanding, we know it is flat ... and we can measure that to an incredible accuracy," Krauss said in a telephone interview.

"Cosmology now is a precision science."

Until then, theoretical physicists had cobbled together small pieces of evidence that the universe and everything in it had appeared suddenly about 15 billion years ago from an infinitesimally small point in a vacuum of nothingness.

When the 40-member research team announced some of their findings to a meeting of physicists in 1992, an "audible gasp was heard from the audience," according to the American Institute of Physics.

Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge University physicist who explained theories about how the universe was formed in his popular book "A Brief History of Time," was one of most excited. "It is the discovery of the century, if not of all time," Hawking said in a statement at the time.

FILLING IN THE BLANKS

"I don't think he was completely out of control," Krauss said. People had known what to look for. "The picture, however, had been blank up to then," he said.

"Then it was clear -- it wasn't a vague idea. It was clear the lumps were there."

These fluctuations were faint variations in temperature, and scientists have since followed up on those measurements to try to understand, for instance, dark matter -- mass that no one has been able to see or measure but which must exist because of the amount of gravity measured in the universe.

Some teams have come up with new theories of dark energy -- a mysterious force that may be accelerating the expansion of the universe.

While the implications may far outlast humanity -- the end of the universe may be coming in a few more billion years -- Smoot has been clear on the need for the work.

"It is extremely important for human beings to know their origins and their place in the world," Smoot said in a statement.

Krauss said the prize supports his own arguments -- made to NASA and the U.S. Congress -- that funding should go to similar experiments.

President Bush has urged NASA to concentrate on getting people to the moon and Mars.

"New experiments on the cosmic microwave background, new experiments to probe dark energy, to look for habitable planets -- all these have been delayed and/or canceled because we are sending people back to the moon," Krauss said.

that you are the most superior form of life?

For some insane reason, theists seem to think that those who accept evolution have the convoluted notion that they are the pinnacle of evolution, and gods unto themselves.

I think that understanding evolution helps to convey how lucky we are to exist. And that is a very humbling feeling.

How about you?

I went to this "New Thought" church where there was a guest speaker. The woman who claimed to be able to see auras as a side note also said things like, "God didn't create the earth; we did!" She also said she studied the Aramaic scriptures that were written before the Bible was "mis" translated and Jesus never said anything about the trinity or that you had to go through him to get to the Father or to heavan. What was she talking about? She claimed to be a Doctor of Divinity but when I asked her if she had a PhD she said no.

First,Im not Christian.
But,why do non-Christians have thisoverwhelming desire to harass them? They have a faith,a faith that isnt immoral.Why not leave them alone and attack the immoral population of the world? The only wrong religion (though I know every religion will disagree) are the religions who believe in "killing non-believers" and satanists. But these people are hardly ever attacked.
