» Brian Tubbs - Honest answer

In response to Logic? posted by Migisi:

You're right, Migisi. I don't know - as in with absolute, 100% certainty - how the universe came into being. The only way, methinks, anyone can know anything with certainty is to directly observe it via their sensory capabilities. Since none of us was around 14-15 billion years ago (or 6-10,000 years ago - from a strict Genesis reading), then none of us knows. I agree with you - as far as the word "know" goes.

There is a hairline between science and faith in how and what people believe to be true.

In response to seeing stars posted by Migisi:

"Can we even fathom such a nothingness?"

That to me is arguably more amazing than trying to fathom a universe that can't fit into the biggest 'backyard'. And I imagine waking up after I'm dead to see what's happening without me. Same-o same-o...as life carries on despite me. In the same vein methinks as Brian's reference above to me being a (horrible) figment of your imagination. ABC I do know though, you do my imagination a power of good.

I hang out with little kids, Red. THEY possess all imaginative power. They ~are~ the universe - at least, they think so. When did you and I lose that idea?

If you have the time, here is a great program you can watch. I'm not exactly sure how you will feel it fits in with this thread; but, maybe it does.
.
Here is the site link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/
.
When you get there, click on Epigenetic Therapy. I believe you will be impressed.

WOW!! FANTASTIC. The article was so easy to understand, too. If only my mom could've lived a few years longer - she may have benefited from this drug therapy. Thanks for posting this. Anti-inflammatories, ay? An aspirin a day keeps the cancer away.

And the videos are particularly engrossing.

Do the videos have something to do with Spirituality or anything to with the thread here, 'Communicating with God?'

I think so.

But, it's pretty deep stuff; so, maybe it'll be over your head?

» pink101 - An Important Question

In response to A Great Program posted by pink101:

My hope is that others here will take the time to watch the videos under Epigenetic Therapy at this site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/
.
That's my hope.
.
Brother Jones- raises an important question when he asks if any of the site's presentation have anything to do with communicating with God.
.
Yes, they do. But, you're going to have to get into the videos to have any understanding of my answer. This particular video is an in depth look--see at the goings on in the human Genome--deep into the building blocks of your being. In it, we are able to see how a miniscule error in the genetic code causes a person to to prone to diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as appearance characteristics like baldness or eye color. So, in a very real sense, we are able to see exactly how our creation as an individual being is affected by some characteristic of the way the genes are organized. And, it is interesting to know that the errors are passed on from generation to generation.
.
What is exciting is the fact that through the process of testing to learn if an individual carries such mistakes in their genetic make up, science will be focusing in on learning how to turn the mistaken messages off so that the person will not be threatened by cancer in the first place. That will, of course, require a great deal of science into the workings of stem cells, etc. Will science, under such conditions, be in some communication with God? That depends on whether or not a person thinks that God has any control over individuals as they develop in the womb, doesn't it?
.
I think the answer is, Yes, in response to Brother Jones' question.
