Intelligent Design and the Fallacy of Annihilation
http://www.academic-genealogy.com/science.htm#Intelligent_Design_and_the_Fallacy_of_Annihilation

The scientific method is reinforced by using "intelligent design".
The Santorum Amendment "promoted the teaching of
intelligent design while questioning the academic standing
of evolution in U.S. public schools."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_Amendment

In fact, intelligent design is the result of all true investigations;
theories presented and subsequent orderly facts displayed.
The teaching of evolution as "fact", lessens the process of
academic rigor, within every facet of science curricula. The
process of evolution is not presented with record credibility;
i.e., the evidence offered is hinged upon the unproven theory,
instead of the records of observations obtained being the
initiating force behind the theoretical postulations offered.

Since the records of observations cannot be obtained by
scientists, due to lack of testing instrumentality; (i.e., for
example, no instruments on earth can endure the possibility
of being placed upon the surface of the Sun and function).
Science is not science when it theorizes into the infinite;
assuming it can declare authoritatively what is and is not,
when there is absolutely no possibility it can functionally
measure it. Evolution, the Big Bang Theory, etc., are NIL
on academic rigor. Eternal intelligence is an ordered universe.

Clearly defined, the conjunction of Evolution and Big Bang Theory
is nothing more or less than a new distortion in medieval Astrology.
which "consists of a number of belief systems which hold that
there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena
and events in the human world.". . . ."it is a pseudoscience
because it makes little attempt to develop solutions to its problems,
[when there is absolutely no possibility it can functionally measure
it.]
shows no concern for the evaluation of competing theories,
and is selective in considering confirmations and dis-confirmations."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology

All man made materials are limited by a physical
time differential that does not exceed the depth of
the periods of time under consideration. The fact
that all evaluations are made by physical properties
that are subject to the laws of physics, makes each
evaluation resource limited by the measuring
device itself, which is subject to radioactive
decay. Age calculating all instruments and placing
them within their sphere as to time, relative to
radioactive decay, means that they are each
restricted to a measuring capacity, related
to their own decay process.

No material instrument exists that spans back
to the time of the origins of the Universe.
Therefore, the beginnings of time cannot be
evaluated and any sequence of events proposed
cannot be valid by itself, unless it undertakes
the comprehension of the immediate whole
of the known and unknown Universe. This
is a very real impossibility within the framework
of the finite, mortal human mind, for it is noted
homo sapiens indeed are also subject to death,
as well as other related human imperfections.

Evolutionary "theory" transcends many periods of time,
engineered with "just guessing" adjustments which
result in mixed conclusions. This "Evolutionary GPS"
is not able to send out correct directional signals,
by any trilateration of events in a five-dimensional space.
"Many spacetime continua have physical interpretations
which most physicists would consider bizarre or unsettling.
For example, a compact spacetime has closed timelike
curves, which violate our usual ideas of causality (that is,
future events could affect past ones)." “For us believing
physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future
is only an illusion, even if a stubborn one.” —Albert Einstein.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

"Evolutionary GPS" is derived from the black hole
information paradox, which suggests "that physical
information could disappear in a black hole, allowing
many physical states to evolve into the same state."
In other words, "the universe is largely chaotic",
because information conservation is not preserved
within the quantum realm. The concept is covered in
biology as DNA mutation, at the genetic level, as
[all current species being descended from a single
common ancestor, ]

The very foundations of evolution as presented from
Darwin, forward and backwards in time, are a cause
of great contention, since in very principle, their
assertions violate the physics principle wherein any
complete information about a physical system at one
point in time, should determine its state at any other
time, as found in its wave function, from the standpoint
of quantum mechanics. The Big Bang and related
theories project the same error, such as the Big Rip,
or "the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the
matter of the universe, from stars and galaxies to
atoms and subatomic particles, is progressively
torn apart by the expansion of the universe at
a certain time in the future."

This is completely contradicted within quantum wave level
integrated metabolic processes, of all cells and organisms.
http://www.academic-genealogy.com/science.htm#References
(1) Biophotons are weak emissions of light radiated
from the cells of all living things. A photon is a single
particle of light. Plants, animals and humans generate
up to 100 photons per second, per .15 square inches
(1 sq. centimeter) of surface area. The light is too faint
to be seen by the naked eye, but biophotons have
been detected and verified using photomultiplier tubes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton

According to a leading researcher of biophotons,
German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp, light is
constantly being absorbed and remitted by DNA
molecules within each cell's nucleus. These
biophotons create a dynamic, coherent web of light.
A system that could be responsible for chemical
reactions within the cells, cellular communication
throughout the organism, and the overall regulation
of the biological system, including embryonic
development into a predetermined form.

Is DNA the next Internet?

"Veljkovic and Cosic proposed that molecular
interactions are electrical in nature, and they
take place over distances that are large compared
with the size of molecules. Cosic later introduced
the idea of dynamic electromagnetic field interactions,
that molecules recognize their particular targets
and vice versa by electromagnetic resonance.
In other words, the molecules send out specific
frequencies of electromagnetic waves which not
only enable them to 'see' and 'hear' each other,
as both photon and phonon modes exist for
electromagnetic waves, but also to influence
each other at a distance and become ineluctably
drawn to each other if vibrating out of phase
(in a complementary way)." --

"There are about 100,000 chemical reactions
happening in every cell each second. The chemical
reaction can only happen if the molecule which
is reacting is excited by a photon... Once the photon
has excited a reaction it returns to the field and is
available for more reactions... We are swimming
in an ocean of light."

energy whose gravitational effect approximates

today the concept is termed dark energy
or quintessence."
http://rmp.aps.org/abstract/RMP/v75/i2/p559_1

(4) Biophotons are weak emissions of light radiated
from the cells of all living things, which together, in

(6) Thus, essentially and truthfully, Evolution and
Big Bang are conceptually, statements of a belief
in annihilation, as [defined as "total destruction"
or "complete obliteration" of an object.] This could
only occur if it were possible to create, or in the
Universe, there was a vacuum state. Conversely,
it has been suggested, that even for matter that
falls into a black hole, "information gets imprinted,
forever and ever, onto the surface of that black hole's
event horizon". Therefore, in principle, evolution
is an invalid theory and the Big Bang hypothesis
fails miserably, in replicating or copying the
messages found in the elements and in life forms.

REPLY:
I do not interpret Revelations. I have no authority to do so.
I am too old for a mid-life crisis. I am listed as a genealogy
research specialist. As such, I evaluate and compare all
record sources dispassionately, for rational considerations.
It is not my opinions I present. I have done a lot of reading
in my life. Spent about three years investigating UC Libraries.

I will note the following for your interest. It comes from
A Discourse by President Brigham Young, Delivered in
the Tabernacle, Great Salt Lake City, February 27, 1853.
It is a very short quote, re: Organization and Disorganization
. . .
In the first place, matter is eternal. The principle of annihilation,
of striking out of existence anything that has existed, or had
a being, so as to leave an empty space which that thing
occupied, is false, there is no such principle in all the eternities.
. . .
It cannot be annihilated; you cannot annihilate matter.
If you could, it would prove there was empty space.
If philosophers could annihilate the least conceivable
amount of matter, they could then prove there was
the minutest vacuum, or empty space; but there is
not even that much, and it is beyond the power
of man to prove that there is any.
http://jod.mrm.org/1/112

Now, intelligent Albert Einstein says the same thing,
from a scientific Jewish standpoint, of course, and
much later in time, since this was from A.D. 1853.
----------------------------------------------------------
Now as for the "stoic" Batman, I note:
. . .
Batman and Robin are camping in the desert,
set up their tent and are asleep. Some hours later,
Batman wakes his faithful friend. "Robin, look up
at the sky and tell me what you see."

Robin replies, " I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" asks Batman.

Robin ponders for a minute.

"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there
are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Chronologically, it appears to be
approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it's evident the Lord
is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems
we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you, Batman?"

Batman is silent for a moment, then speaks:

" Robin, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."
http://www.angelfire.com/hero/batgirl1/Batmanjokes.html

I hope I have not stolen all of your thunder.

You've mistaken the nature of discourse on T.O. Any time science
illiterate wingnuts post up religious writings, they're not the

Or at least, you could show there are black holes.

Oh, I see. It's from 1853, and Brigham Young wasn't Jewish. That,
somehow, makes it relevant and right. Silly old me.

Yeah, we just can't trust anything we see through our telescopes and
spectroscopes and the Ulysses space probe.

That really lays it on the line.

We might as well go back to geocentrism.

Actually read your own limitations in your own literature.

NASA says:
. . .
The nature of the processes that heat the corona,
maintain it at these high temperatures, and accelerate
the solar wind is a third great solar mystery.
. . .
Several mechanisms have been suggested
as the source of this heating but there is no
consensus on which one, or combination,
is actually responsible.
. . .
The precise causes of solar flares and coronal
mass ejections is another one of the great solar
mysteries. Here again, we now know many details
about these explosive events and we understand
the basic mechanisms, but many details are missing.
We still cannot reliably predict when and where a flare
will occur or how big it will be. This problem is a little
like trying to predict tornadoes.
. . .
The nature and causes of the sunspot cycle
constitute one of the great mysteries of solar
astronomy. While we now know many details
about the sunspot cycle, (and also about some
of the dynamo processes that must play key
roles in producing it), we are still unable to
produce a model that will allow us to reliably
predict future sunspot numbers using basic
physical principles. This problem is a little
like trying to predict the severity of next
year's winter or summer weather.
. . .
The Sun should produce more than twice
as many neutrinos than are observed.
. . .
This has led many scientists to question
our understanding of neutrinos themselves.
This final mystery may thus shake some
of the foundations of Physics itself.
. . .
http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/quests.shtml

As yet, no one on this list has gone out of the
influence of the solar wind, or, as far as I know,
has been able to technically investigate the Universe
from outside the solar wind area of the Universe,
and bring the data back into the area of the solar
wind, without realizing the possibility of distortions.
http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/SolarWind.shtml

The surprising thing about the waves that Cluster
observed is that they pointed perpendicular to the
magnetic field. This is in contrast to previous work
from the Helios spacecraft, which in the 1970’s
examined magnetic waves closer to the sun.
That work found magnetic waves running parallel
to the magnetic field, which can send particles
moving in tight circular orbits – a process known
as cyclotron resonance -- thus giving them a kick
in both energy and temperature.
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/sunearthsystem/main/cluster-turbulence.html

For anyone on this list who actually reads the literature,
(1) From actions on the earth to actions on the sun,
there is still a tremendous amount of mystery and
gross uncertainty, which questions many of
the current scientific knowledge systems.
Now this is what NASA says, not what I say.
(2) No real credibility or confidence can be placed
on esoteric theories based upon such models;
i.e., "understood by or meant for only the select
few who have special knowledge or interest",
when extrapolated to include the whole universe.
(3) Until and unless a more basic understanding
of the workings of our immediate area of the solar
system are presented, it is unreasonable to assume
origins of the Universe are capable of comprehension,
at least, from the limited perspective of the scientist.

Let's ignore for the moment that you don't have a clue about science.

What you're saying is; we can know nothing until we know everything.
That makes you a nihilist. Except you're a special kind of nihilist;
one with a god. And you approvingly quote a little bit of Brigham
Young as "da troof" on exactly zero evidence.

Please share with us how that works.

It is necessary to visualize the Universe from the standpoint
of a "web of light". It is then acting in the same manner as
a good spider web. "The study showed that, as one might
expect, when any part of a web is perturbed, the whole web
reacts." Thus, even as a spider web is specifically constructed
to establish the "Path To Failure"; so likewise, on a larger scale,
"durability" is key to the survival of all life forms in the Universe.

A "spider's web is organized to sacrifice local areas
so that failure will not prevent the remaining web from

"This is a clever strategy when the alternative is having
to make an entire, new web," he adds. The Universe is
expanding at an ever increasing rate, becoming more
complex and intense in order, with black holes being
local areas of failure that prevent the remaining total
areas of light in the Universe from malfunctioning.

Galactic winds are streams of high speed
charged particles often observed blowing out
of galaxies. With speeds of between 300
and 3,000 km/sec, these winds can either
blow material out into the halo of the galaxy,
possibly to mix with the hot X-ray emitting
halo gas, or expel the matter from the galaxy
completely to mix with the intergalactic medium.
Galactic winds have two sources of energy:
starbursts and active galactic nuclei
(i.e. the supermassive black holes
lurking in the centres of most galaxies).

OK, I can't ignore that you know nothing about science. Nor, it would
appear, about putting together a coherent argument. Where is your
point in this cut&paste word salad?

Point: A string is a string and a particle is a particle,
and never shall the twain meet? No, not if you think.

A particle is a particle when measured as a mass
object, and an energy level within the region of any
given particle manifests the observations of a string,
in relation to other particles of mass in the Universe.

However, when broad forces negatively affect any area
of the Universe, all the combined localized mass objects,
"membrane" together within the universal web of light,
disposing of the negatively forming materials through
manifestations measured as "black holes"; and then,
return to the former state of stability and relative "rest".

"The principle of separation, or disorganization,
is as much an eternal principle, as much a truth,
as that of organization. Both always did and will exist."
There have always been black holes and galaxy systems.

Well, he was able to spin a good yard and found a moderately successful
religion, with only a list of names as supporting evidence. Then he
started a commune in the wilderness so that his followers could not
check any details of his bullshit.

The beliefs of Mormonism are really no wackier than the beliefs of any
sect of Christianity, or, for that matter, any of the successful
religions around the world today.

Dig into the fundamentals of any of the religions around today. They
all have patently impossible events as part of their beliefs.

You want Golden Tablets, or virgin birth, or the millions of atomic
explosions of Teegeack? Get religion!

But, you seem to be content with "Primordial soup" theory,

Healthy word "salad" vs. anemic, insipid, "Primordial soup".
Biological life does not arise from inorganic matter through
natural processes. The fact is, that [life is an irreversible

The word "incoherent" doesn't appear at all in your reply. Perhaps
it's an emergent property of the way you put words together.

Please tell us which definition of "entropy" you are using.

S = Integral of dQ/T (Q=heat; T=absolute temperature)

(State variable in a thermodynamic system.)

This one?

S = k log W

(Boltzmann entropy.)
By the way, this definition is on Boltzmann's tombstone in the Central
Cemetery in Vienna.

This one?

Or some other?

Or are you using "entropy" to mean chaos, disorder, noise, etc.?
