Science Through the Eyes of a Wolverine

Question #1

OK, here we go again. I think that many of you missed the point of last week’s question. It makes me feel good to know that so many of you believe in God regardless of what others may think or say. Many of you even tried to prove His existence. This, however, was not the question. The question is basically this…

Let us assume that God does exist–not that we have to prove that He does–He already exists. If this is true, does it matter whether a person believes He exists? Will He still exist even if Billy Bob or Mohinder has never heard of Him? Does it matter if they are atheists? Does their belief change the fact that He exists? Can God exist only for those who believe in Him or does He always exist–if we already assumed that He exists?

Don’t try to convince me that He does. I liked all your responses of how you tried to prove His existence, but right now, we already are assuming that He does.

The other side…

If there is no God, does it matter how much I believe that He exists? Does my belief in God make Him exist? Again don’t tell me the Religion answer. Tell me what your answer to this question is.

This brings us to the 2nd part of the question…

If pollution or global warming or the misuse of technology exists, does it matter if I believe it? Don’t give me your opinion on these categories–you are just giving me your position. That is not the question. Let us assume that global warming exists. Does it matter that I think that global warming is a hoax? Does it matter that the reports I read tell me that GW is silly. If it really is true, does my opinion change this?

Also, let us say that GW is not real. Does it matter that I firmly believe that GW is happening at an alarming rate. If it really isn’t happening, does my opinion change this?

Next part…

Can both opinions be right? Can you ask two people whether or not God exists, get two opposite views, and both be right? Can a person believe in something very strongly and be wrong–or–is truth based on how strongly you believe in something? Ask yourself the same for environmental issues. Can two opposing views both be correct?

Finally…

Restate Acts 1:8. How does this commission apply to the questions above? Or doesn’t it? Why or why not?

Question 2:

What is fractional crystallization?
