Re: New: It is Impossible for God to be Real

"If He (God) understands Math and Physics then He exists."
/Frank Tipler/.
God is real, if the "One" used the laws of math and physics to create the Universe.

Re: Philosophy of Mind

God and Big-Bang

Before Big-Bang was nothing: no space, no earth, no time. Before God began His work was nothing: no space, no earth, no time. Therefore "At the November 22, 1951, opening meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope Pius XII declared that the Big Bang theory does not conflict with the Ca...
