In 7 days?

close but no cigar.... wasn't the 7th day a day of rest?

I never said that. Deflection.

 

Anyway, why do you think a God day is the same length as an earth day? Do you think God lives above planet Earth?

 

BTW, the Bible was a history story written by people that thought the sun went around the earth. It wasn't a scientific paper.

garbage in garbage out. It can only start with the limited reality we provide.

It's a direct quote from you. Now go back and read your own post. 😀

People are, IMO, too afraid to admit that they know sod all about the universe, or how it was created, so they seize on any plausible scenario to believe in. Sort of like imagining that there are more than 2 genders. They want it to be true, so they believe in any old theory that supports their druthers.

In some ways you are correct in others, perhaps...I won't say incorrect...you feel a kind of mistrust. I mean you no disrespect because you are not alone. Our two best theories to date (overall) are quantum theory and general relativity and they seem to be correct as far as 'local' experiments are concerned. General Relativity has for most part has given us some hope because its result seem to fit many observations but...GR can also predict the (initial) 'big bang' by reversing direction but then it such suggests infinities...which is just another way of saying we don't know how/why/what etc happened in the first place. (A similar situation applies to Black Holes which GR predicts but then tells us nothing about the inside of a BH). Quantum Theory (and experiments to date) give us some idea of how the constituents of matter behave and we extrapoltae from there. (The Sun is a good example. The point where astrophysicists call the 'surface' is very much cooler the outer corona and as yet we don't know why. That's why probes are being sent to find out which one of the few ideas they have (magnetic fields, special types of waves etc.), is closer to the truth.)

As I have written elsewhere, our science/knowledge is in its infancy and anyone who thinks were are an advanced species are just plain wrong. There is a lot of mistrust about what the science fraternity spews out and that mistrust is well founded. So many 'papers' are products of just ideas and not proper reserch.

In a blog post, Neven detailed Willow's astonishing capability, stating that it performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's most advanced supercomputers an almost inconceivable 10 septillion years to complete.

 

How do they know it got the correct answer?

I agree with most of your post and of course that part as I've been saying that for a while myself.

 

Unfortunately a few ( or many ) actually believe that our science is infallible and fixed.

One of the main posters claiming that science ( and polls ) was all knowing seems to have vanished. Perhaps back under a different username, given how wrong he was on so many things.

It occurred to myself when I read the OP that a lot of unprovable claims were being made. I suspect he doesn't know, but they need to sell the things and a spot of propaganda doesn't go amiss for that.

 

Be interesting to ask what the probability of humans still being here next century is, or if God exists.

It seems to be a desperate piece of PR to me.

If it doesn't perform as promised it will join Windows 8 in the trash can of dodgy tech.

MARVEL comics has brainwashed us enough... so when can I buy one?   zero to never ?

sure, 1000x ...   stop eating, drinking, smoking, injecting JUNK...

 

but it tastes so good, that most people prefer chemo, radiation and surgery...

 

your anti parasite meds could... well google it, claiming nothing...

Same BS they said years ago and was debunked in a week.

this topic is a bit deep for AN, no?

I don't think so, just because most members are expats doesn't mean that they aren't interested in science. I would agree with you if complex scientific details were discussed but here we are really just discussing casual elements. Someone here may have noticed that this morning another similar topic in the media appeared saying that NASA experiments suggest a parallel world with time going backward. IMO it's just another bit 'sensationalism' from the media but we can discuss it about should it appear on AN.🙂

Because the answer was 42.
