How Did The Big Bang Arise Out of Nothing: [sciencealert.com]

There was not an absence of everything. Matter and energy are interchangeable in extreme circumstances . At the big bang there was a change of form from energy to matter. Possibly an explanation?

"truth is determined by the concept of logical necessity developed by philosophy" But scientific method and logic were there already waiting to be discovered analyzed and spread from the wiring mechanisms within brains. True philosophers gave some brains a whirl but is that the same as developing it? i.e without any understanding of how the brain works?

At age 8 or 9 I tried to repair a bed warmer which was basically a light bulb in a metal case. For a second or two I held a live hand conductor but somehow manged to shake off the 240 volts. At age about 50 during a medical checkup with a BCG,they discovered a diagnosis of LEFT Bundle Branch Block, a heart condition in which electricity finds its way to the muscle by its own rout and not the usual rout . It has no effect on my life except [as it mimics the results of a heart attack] I have to warn the medical staff that I have the condition which they would assume I did have a previous heart attack

You buy a replacement, disassemble the machine and fit it all back together.

Identities, mainly race, gender and sexual orientation, are today's substitute for religion.

Mcflewster comments on Aug 28, 2020:

Religions usually have sets of conclusions ( for example the 10 commandments) which they try to shame people into keeping faith constant. I do not think that "Identities, mainly race, gender and sexual orientation," are in any state to reach widespread conclusions yet .They are still recruiting supporters yet . They are still fishers of men(and women) to their causes which often clash.

Mcflewster comments on Jul 31, 2020:

I have some time thought that there was only one source of knowledge ..... observation and the rest of science methodology. In fact I have asked one or two Christians " Why do we need two sources of Knowledge? " Would god have completely no use for methodologies like those in science? And yet "Man is made in the image of God" I do not see that Inspiration is a source of knowledge. Inspiration is an excitement (or energy boost) which gives you the momentum to find out the reason why you should copy the source doing the inspiring. "Tradition which is probably the most important source of knowledge" Whilst I value some traditions i hate others - e.g Wigs on Barristers.I think Tradition is just a way of sometimes retaining the sometimes annoying views of elders [and betters?}. Sympatheic understanding can certainly only come from scientifics processes started by lots of questions

**My own feeling as to why people use this word**: Quite rightly, at some ages, one's mind is preoccupied with procreation so it is quite natural. It is really a process where you get together with another human who has different ' Bits ' from you. The pair does the business together to bring both types of ' bits ' together . Then they completely mix up . A particular pair or two succeed in locking on and the rest die. The chosen pair or maybe few more go on to make a very desirable out come - a new Human or two. Translating that into your feeling to when you hammer your thumb, It means " I cannot handle this I need to think of something more pleasant". OR "lets mix all my troubles up , go back to basics and start again. I think it is far from being a swear word.

I was somewhat disappointed with this video as it concentrated on business innovation and the mechanisms of keeping the economy going.

It sounds more like an advert for sunglasses. Religionists insist that there are TWO ways of knowing but I believe there is only ONE. I am glad that you retain the word FAITH tho, It is one of the words Religionists have taken over. We all need faith - not when we are doing science but to keep sane until we reach the enlightenment of science.

Other wise, they just shut up at least for quite a while while sensible policies are established . Fractional groups do not, cannot work without a lot of ugly public aggressiveness. !

I reckon that youngster aged 7 or above occupy the limited amount of time they have for critical thinking on their siblings ,human nature being what it is . That is if they are lucky enough to have a sibling. Resentment against siblings usually lasts until they are all married off and that could be a long time. How about asking them to list what bad points that their siblings would say about themselves ie get them to be self critical. Make it a competition for the longest list . Competition to be judged by Mum and Dad of course. Prize would be in multiples of weeks off rota duties. Extra points if your siblings do not mention a fault that you have yourself. A single child family would have to be " make a list of all the faults you have EVER been told off about"

Should teachers be allowed to wear religious badges or jewelry when in front of a class?

Mcflewster comments on Mar 21, 2020:

**Possible duplicate claims ** These are provided by the website and they are other people's attempts . The website has to resolve which is best if there is a clash. They can choose at any time throughout their life. The influence of the teacher outside the child’s school life is not wrong The principle of free expression should not apply to teachers because what teachers say can have lasting effects on children. The teacher does influence the decision of the child There is no basis to say that children have this right. Whether or not the teachers symbol supports or opposes what the child is taught at home should not lead to restricting the rights to jewelry,headgear or other religious token. What the teacher actually says and teaches will have far more influence on the child than what the teacher wears. Therefore, ensuring the subject matter is taught is neutral is far more important than restricting teachers rights to. wear the jewelry they desire. Teachers should keep it unobtrusive and, if it comes up in conversation, the teacher should say there are many religions in the world and this symbol represents his or hears The power imbalance between the pupil and the teacher means that we should err on the side of guarding the benefits to the child,rather than the teacher.
 Children will know what the belief system of their teachers are - even if the teacher does not explain it.

I can understand that some will want to keep away from these sites altogether. Because I messed up several people thought that I was promoting the site and commented accordingly. My apologies - this is a second attempt. *********************Text from the meetup site**************************** What we're about Public Group Do you struggle to connect with more institutional forms of church or religion yet yearn for a genuinely inclusive community where Christian spirituality can be explored and deepened and where creativity is embraced? Do you long for a faith-space where it’s safe to search and disagree, where questions are welcomed and where it’s ok to be “not ok”? A place where generosity, hospitality, welcome, laughter, honest dialogue, prayer, justice-seeking, children, grace, worship, vulnerability, love, and a passion for life are prioritised and treasured? Perhaps one (or more) of the following movements, approaches, writers or thinkers mean something to you? Richard Rohr, Anne Lamott, Rob Bell, Brene Brown, Jean Vanier, Brian Maclaren, Rachel Held Evans, Henri Nouwen, Shane Claiborne, John Bell, contemplative spirituality, the emerging/alternative church movement, mysticism, Greenbelt Festival, new monasticism, creative worship... to name but a few? Maybe you haven’t heard of ANY of these but you are intrigued. Or you’re a skeptic who likes the idea of a wild, transformative God or feels inexplicably drawn to the person of Jesus? Perhaps you find yourself wondering if there are other people in the Newbury area asking similar questions or exploring creative ideas of faith and Christianity? Anne Lamott says that “the opposite of faith is not doubt; it’s certainty”. We agree. However, there is at least one thing we are certain of: there’s no such thing as a perfect church.
