Evolution And Nothingness - Videos To Help Educate

[gilbert]

I have linked these two videos in another thread but I thought I'd make it into a topic to help or further educate people's knowledge of evolution and a universe being created by nothing. I think a lot of believers do not fully understand these topics and so that is why its a lot easier to think that a god created everything with a snap of a finger. It requires less thinking and stress rather than thinking about these topics critically and trying to understand it all. Even I dont fully understand it yet. There is a lot to take in especially if you are not as familiar with these topics.

These videos obviously do not give every piece of information there is to know about the topic presented but it does provide a lot. Its a presentation, not a book.

I just watched part of it but I know what it is about, ive head all this many times.
I love astronomy gilbert, I really do, its one of my favourite, and it?s the most interesting science I know. even though you can say that sometimes its more history... anyways, sometimes much of it is just theories, we both know this so they don?t really know for sure how everything is... to the thing about God, ask yourself, what is God really, no one knows, its not like we believers know, he can be part of the 70% of universe that we cant see, the dark and anti-matter, he can be the energy of the universe, really we don?t know. but just as big bang was created, why could not God have started some kind of chain reaction, just like the big bang did? can?t God be behind the Evolution and the natural selection? What makes it so difficult, since God can be pretty much everything you are capable of imagining... God is not just sitting around and controlling everything, he created something that can evolve by itself, I mean that?s the smartest thing to do right?. I don?t either think that we are alone since there are millions of millions of galaxies, and each one of them have billions of stars, so some of them must have a planet like earth, it doesn?t say in the bible that there are no other then us, really we cant know... it all comes down to the beliefs, if you believe as the scientist that its nothingness and randomness, sure that?s your believe, but I prefer to believe that god had something to do with all this science, it makes more sense than that everything is just random and comes from nothingness, I still believe much of the science as long as its not just theories, since physics have like 100 theories and only one usually is right....

On the contrary to the video, Albert Einstein, ment God, he was a very religious person, just like me, he believed that all this was work was the work of God somehow, he just used science to try to understand it as an human...

It all up to you my friend, neither big bang or the thought that God was behind this ?big bang?  is wrong here, its up to you, what to believe...
