Pluto Not a Planet, Astronomers Rule

Pluto has been voted off the island.

The distant, ice-covered world is no longer a true planet, according to a new definition of the term voted on by scientists today.

"Whoa! Pluto's dead," said astronomer Mike Brown, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, as he watched a Webcast of the vote. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system."

They were wrong about Pluto being a planet but what about the "BANG"?Don't you think that when God spoke the Word, "and it was so" that there could have been some type noise?

NAMERETTI so what your saying is science is not based on any facts, but rather is a theory, and can change at any given time.My God is not a theory and has never changed since He spoke this world into existance.

Answer 1

Depends. Was anybody else there? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around, does it make a noise?

Answer 2

Some astronomers and cosmologists (such as John Dobson, the creator of the Dobson telescope) do not ascribe to the Big Bang theory (or the expanding universe theory for that matter).

Metaphorically and mythically speaking, however, some religions equate a sound vibration with the creation of the universe. In Hinduism the "sound symbol" of creation is the mantra OM (the glyph is actually a design made up of the Sanskrit lettes A U and M, representing beginning, middle, and end). The emanation of the phenomenological world is thought to begin with the inscrutable emergence of this sound/vibration. Some have seen a parallel between this idea and the Genesis story in which it has been pointed out that the operative words are "and God SAID" (with the rest of the passage being flowery elaboration)--the idea being that form emerged from sound (which were words--from where the word "Logos" comes from). This is revisited in the Gospel of John in which Christ is called the Word (logos) made flesh (that is, he is the perfected spiritual archetype become a flesh and blood man as the link and atonement between spirit and matter. In turn, Christ is referred to as the Alpha-Omega --the beginning and end).

Because of these mythical and mystical ideas, some scientists and metaphysicians have posited that the theorized Big Bang was the equivalent of God saying "let there be..."

Answer 3

They weren't "wrong" about Pluto being a planet. There just was no guideline to what objects floating around the Sun were planets and were not. When they finally decided on guidelines, Pluto got dropped. It's more of a comet than anything.

There may have been sound when the rapid expansion of space time occurred over 13 billion years ago. The matter would have still been very condensed...but at the same time, the four forces didn't exist until a few seconds after the "bang" (gravity, electromagnetic, strong interaction, and weak interaction).

Answer 4

I drought there was a bang when God spoke all that is into being.
I do get the point of the rest, and you are correct, that does not mean science is the enemy of God.
Every time a discovery is made in science the odds in favor of a God go way up.
Only the terribly worldly scientist denies God.

Answer 5

Absolutely ! This is a miracle, God came out of the invisible realm and manifested Himself in the physical realm, from this Great, Explosion of His Manifesting His Light, everything else came into existence( read first part of John ) This was an awesome event, everything was like-243 kelvin, where nothing, not even molecules move and then an Explosion of Light like 3 trillion x unfathomable number. Can you see it ?

Answer 6

God is a Gardner. "Let there be" is the planting of seeds in eternity which did and will come to pass in time to the end. All was finished in the mind of God before the beginning. Gen. 2:4 is the big bang.

Answer 7

It doesn't really matter. The important thing is God did say "Let there be" and there was.

We're here now. It's time to look about us and do what good we can for the planet that supports us, and the people on it. What happened to get us here isn't the point.

Answer 8

Does the Bible say there was a "Bang?" If this is something IMPORTANT that we should know, the Bible would tell us- For God gives us HIS word for our understanding....so apparently this is just something that we truly don't even need to debate over. Sure we can all sit around and "wonder" about the things God does not mention in His word.....but the most important thing is TO KNOW what is IN HIS word.

: )

Answer 9

From what I understand (science speaking), it takes air/oxygen to carry sound. Space has no air.

So, maybe no sound was produced, but God certainly did make waves! Thank God for God! Without Him, we'd be nuttin', Honey!

Answer 10

That's the position of several scientists that are also very religious, and an example of how the two thoughts can co-exist.
