Quite a myopic view of reality you have there Bibleman. First relativity does not predict time travel. It Predicts time dilation. It also predicts the speed of light as being the ultimate velocity. The correctness of the theory of relativity has been born out experimentally. I won't bother you with the details. If you are interested in learning, I'm sure you can find them for yourself. I'm sorry you don't understand it. I'm sorry you don't like it. But it works. To deny it in the face of all evidence is as simple minded as denying that the Earth orbits the Sun. Of course uninformed religious zealots have done that too. Haven't they? Your personal FEELINGS on the subject don't constitute anything more than lack of knowledge.

As far as history is concerned. Read something besides your precious holy book. Try Archeology Today. Oh btw the bible, if you accept current fundie teaching, began to be written 3500 years ago not 6000 years ago. You know, Moses c 1500BC? So you have at least 2500 years of hearsay going on there B.M.

The moon is ROUND! No S**t Sherlock! Actually my scientifically deficient friend, all very large celestial bodies take on a spherical shape its simply the effects of gravitation. And you don't even need relativity to prove that. Good old Isaac Newton will suffice.
Abiogenesis the beginning of self replicating molecules. Most biologist think it occurred with basic forms of RNA. It is not YET known which exact path or paths it took. It is being approached from the only way that can yield an accurate answer. Experimentation and scientific study. Just like the discovery of the double helix of DNA which took years of mind numbing research, so too does this or any endeavor to find truth. And that is what science is my friend, the SEARCH for truth. There is no way for the human mind to understand truth with out science. Everything else is metaphysics and mumbo jumbo.

I have a very simple question for you. If you will indulge me, please try to answer it in the simplest, most direct way that you can. How do you know God exists? Not from a biblical stand point but simply by the things that you observe.

I await your response

Ford
