Only a fool would say definitely "there is no god"
A intellectually honest person would say "i definitely have no idea if there is a god". So I am reading this book and not sure where to go to discuss it. It is a book by Gerald Schroeder, Ph.D. called 'Genesis and the Big Bang'. Schroeder got his PhD in Nuclear Physics from MIT, for those that would question his credentials without looking him up.
I always did well in physics classes in high school and college but by no means is it my professional expertise but in doing prior reading from Stephen Hawking, Lawrence Kraus and others I feel I have a pretty good grasp of secular cosmology as well as Einstein's laws of general and special relativity. So this read for me is just a interesting take on what the time dilation of the biblical pre-Adam 6 days could mean. But it is also a reminder of how nothing about cosmology or big bang creation is conclusive and to treat it in any other manner than inconclusive is contrary to science.
It still surprises me that there are some atheist (or rather anti-theists) out there that not only think the verdict is out on this topic of creation and big bang but think so sufficiently enough that people that believe in "gawd" can be mocked and that all religious thought should be mitigated into obscurity. I am not so naive in this. Which is why I read the things I do. It is hard to get a fix on what I believe in this regard because as special relativity demonstrates we cannot even properly qualify time except from the position of the observer. I mean unless someone can definitely give an answer to how the mu-meson can travel 200 microseconds in 4.5 microseconds. I mean some people discount the idea of a creator and do not even understand relativity and probably don't even know what a mus-meson (which are produced when the cosmic rays slam into the nuclei of the gases in the atmosphere).
Now this is not true of all atheist and I am not saying religious people have it right either because both seem for the most part demonstrate often a lack of full study and consideration. It just seems so intellectually lazy to throw out either perspective without careful consideration and respect for the other. Then again it is hard to do that when both seem dead set on destroying the other. As I see it Hawking and Kraus are both too political in a agenda and too emotionally invested in their anti-god crusade to be truly objective in there observation. Schroeder IMO does a better job of removing emotional involvement in the same manner Einstein did. Whether or not they personally believe in a creator is obviously going to have some impact on their observation but at least they are intellectually honest with themselves about it. Hawking and Kraus seem pompous and arrogant.
Sorry for the long rant but I find it frustrating that not only do some of these professional physicists commit serious logical fallacies but that pseudo-intellectuals often worship their words and theories as absolutes. Keep in mind that even if every thought about God, Gobs, the bible, the Quran, Confucianism, mythology and any other thought or theory on the nature of creation was proved wrong does not by default prove there is not or was not a creator that guided the first elements into being. By the laws of nature Hawking and Kraus (and many other anti-theist scientist) believe in something that is impossible, it is a paradox referred to as the infinite regression.
Alright let's see if I get crucified by the secular philistines. lol
