Find Out About the Future of Science
Science magazine writer Charles Seife has written a new book, Alpha and Omega: The Search for the Beginning and End of the Universe. According to Publishers Weekly, Charles claims, "Scientists...now know how the universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of science, even towering above the deciphering of the human genome." A brave statement! Charles is happy to answer your questions about ongoing research that is busily revealing the basic nature of life, the universe, and everything in a serious (as opposed to humorous) sense, so ask away. One question per post, please. We'll post the answers as soon as we get them beck.
I pray the powers of science and reason can answer this!
Instead misuse the tools of real science to attempt to portray religious doctrine as scientific, abuse the term theory by ignoring the extensive proven underpinnings of real science to which the term is applicable. It's fascinating after all. And isn't that the important part?
Look you can ridicule "Intelligent Design" or the existence of God all you like. The truth is, there are significant problems with Evolution as it is currently reported. The fact is, Evolution is a system of faith just as Creationism. Fundementalists have distorted the idea of "faith." All faith is is simply the belief in the preponderance of evidence. It's a belief that the evidence points to a given conclusion. Evolutionists, clergy, you, me, scientists, physicists, we all live with a system of faith or even systems of faith. It just sounds more chic to say "You Creationists bet everything on faith." Well, guess what....we all do! >
