Re: How do Christians Expect to Convert Atheists?
You made the claim that quantum effects scale up to larger scales, so it is up to you to provide examples where this is true. However classical (non-quantum) physics describes perfectly the process of navigating between the bodies in the solar system, without invoking quantum physics at all. According to quantum physics the flight of a spacecraft would be random and the craft would only probably reach it's target, with classical physics there is much less doubt about the outcome.

DNA is only found in living organisms but the same form of DNA is found in everything so all live is related but non-living objects do not have DNA.ken wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2017 11:41 am Since you replied to My question about what is the 'one form of life' My point is dna will be found in every physical thing, and if this is correct then ALL physical things are related to each other, and together We are One. Every thing is of the same family of Everything and/or in the same family as 'All of us'. The 'one form of life' IS Life, Itself, seen by the evolving, changing and forming of physical things all the time as One. When one thing interacts with another thing, then this influences and/or creates some thing else. In a way every thing is reacting with every thing else, and thus creating Everything. This One living Being working together as One that is the 'one form of life', which is the created and the Creator, together as One. This Creator IS creating always, and being eternal It could create in all ways also.
'Full Consciousness' by the way is when Life, Itself, comes into being a fully Self-aware Being. When human beings are able to answer the question Who am 'I' correctly, then this is when what I am proposing here can be seen and understood much better.

Because there would still be no living animal to hear the sound so people who hold a very narrow definition of sound would reject that data.ken wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2017 12:20 pmIn reply to the above question I ask why do human beings not just put a video camera and recorder in the forest to find out once and for all.thedoc wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 9:08 pm "If a tree falls in the forest, and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
If you are very narrow-minded you would say that without a conscious being to hear, there is no sound. But if you are more open-minded you would agree that sound is just vibrations in the air and to be a sound doesn't need a conscious being to hear it.

The word is multiverse but universe still means all there is although it usually only applies to this universeken wrote:
what is the new word or new label that you propose and that human beings are now going to use that satisfies the definition of ALL THAT IS
Which is wrong given the actual definition but the popularity of the word over rides this obvious confusion

What about things that cannot be known and are answers that can be known really easy to discover as you apparently think they areken wrote:

What kind of scope do you use to observe the space inside your own head, how great is the magnification?

So can you explain the incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativelyken wrote:

That would be a violation of the law of non contradiction for that which is infinite cannot also be finiteken post wrote:
I can easily see and understand how infinity can be and is complete
Finite infinity is a paradox and an oxymoron and so is therefore impossible both logically and physically

The genes are part of DNA or RNA that control hereditary
traits from one form of life to another. So DNA is different from one form of life to another and much depends on the nucleotide sequencing.

I'm glad that I can be good for something.
Re: How do Christians Expect to Convert Atheists?
I did not say the same DNA code was present in each form of life, but the DNA of all life uses the same 4 letters to write out the code, and to the best of my knowledge any living cell can read the code of any other living cell, that is not to say that the cell could do anything with it, but it can at least read it. Every form of life has a different code and thus a different sequence of letters in the code but each DNA code uses the same 4 letters just in a different sequence depending on how different the life forms are.Philosophy Explorer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2017 8:38 pm"...the same form of DNA..."

Not all life forms are complex enough to be composed of DNA however. For example non self replicating single cellthedoc wrote:

bacteria from which all life is descended from is actually composed of RNA that is comparatively simpler than DNA
Re: How do Christians Expect to Convert Atheists?
I still think that ALL THAT IS implies completion. So I wouldn't use that terminology myself, to me, infinity IS THIS SPACE right here and now, this open boundlessness in constant flux. So I would change ALL THAT IS.....to....... THIS IS ITken wrote:

ALL THAT IS ... sounds like a closed gate.
