yes there are "two" creation stories in genesis. the "J" (older - where adam/eve were individuals. and "E" (where adam/eve were plural "mankind" ---------------we know the whole 2 stories, God made plants after - no! before man - 2 of each - no! 7 of the clean and 2 of unclean - for the ark. etc. an...

Nope. I don't see humility as a virtue; don't see bein' humble as virtuous. So: I got no reason to cultivate such a thing (a vice). Humility is strictly knowing your place from a neutral perspective. It is not about denigrating, and obviously not uplifting, yourself. It really is about centering on...

An article said that aside from its opposite charge, it's the same as ordinary matter. yep. So far the scientists are unable to account for antimatter's instability (compared with matter). WTF? we are not talking about radioactivity!!!!!! Anti matter is as stable as matter!!!!!!!!!!!! the only reas...

Antimatter is matter converted under special circumstances. It's not a common* part of the universe, nor has it ever been. not so. you misunderstand. 1. matter and antimatter are thought to have been created in BB via 50.0000000000000000001 and 49.9999999999999999999 percent respectively. 2. matter...

my understanding is that the BB made more matter than antimatter.

if not so then there would be no matter for us to be/converse.

why so?

ask your God, not me, i offer no answer to your inquery.

my understanding is the speed of light was different back then. why is that you understanding? If so, what was going on with light and how did it settle at its current constant and can it change in the future? 🇺🇸PhilX🇺🇸 I can't answer the above until i know why you think the above above was so. tha...

Consider a 2 dimensional universe.. like the surface of the Earth for example... it has a centre .. but the centre is nowhere on the 2 dimensional universe..

that would be war, but concur.

Beauty might not be the right word. Preference is better I think. Like the female peacock, who prefers the males with the most rediculously exaggerated tail feathers. And yes, it's genetic. yes, well said per peacock reference. i to think "sense of beauty" (per man's reference here) - inborn. and o...

for me: in order: 1.2001 A space odyssey - why: nature of "alive/conscienceness"(Hal9000),nature of man vs animal /superman(starchild to man) to man - i.e evolution from one state of nature to the next (movie assumes a higher one). another "why i like" - its slow and quiet and empty in the middle ma...
