PastorAIO: If an electron and a positron collide, both the electron and positron will cease to exist, but their energy must be conserved. As such, they will most likely emit electromagnetic energy (photons) which will exist indefinitely unless absorbed by another system, in which case, it will simply be converted to another form of energy. The reverse process is trickier! It's not so easy to covert a single photon into an electron-positron pair (massive matter) since the electron and positron will have to go in different directions to exist (change in momentum from the original photon). For this to happen, the photon must collide with something (typically an atomic nucleus). However, multiple photons can be converted to massive matter and still conserve energy and momentum (since massive matter can have zero momentum). In all cases, something keeps converting to something else. There is no conceivable scenario in which something pops out of nothing, or for that matter, no conceivable scenario in which nothing exists! 3 Likes 1 Share |

AgentOfAllah: Thanks for that. I think that your last statement would depend on how you define Nothing. For instance would an empty vacuum be classified as nothing. Or would Nothing involve also the non existence of Space and Time. |
Re: Are Atheists Qualified To Speak On Christianity? by AgentOfAllah: 6:48pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
PastorAIO: Even if we presuppose the existence of absolute vacuum, it would just be the absence of matter in general. Since matter isn't everything, it would not necessarily be nothing. In fact, vacuum is known to possess quanta of energy known as zero point energy, which, when summed up in all of space, amounts to something quite significant. On the other hand, the non-existence of space and time is something quite speculative. In the best case scenario, we can shrink the known universe to the diameter of a Planck's length by going back in time. Below this, we know the universe existed in some sort of singularity, but we don't quite know for how long it remained in that state. Additionally, the nature of singularity is so nebulous as to defy conceptualisation. How then does one begin to understand nothingness when we are still unable to see beyond something? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Who qualifies who in this world of freedom of speech? |
Re: Are Atheists Qualified To Speak On Christianity? by PastorAIO: 7:10pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
AgentOfAllah: Hmmm this is absolutely fascinating. So basically we are dealing with nebulous poorly defined terms when we say things like 'the universe came out of nothing'. Or rather when Olaadegbu says, ' the universe came out of nothing'. It seems that this isn't really the position of most contemporary scientists and would in fact reduce this thread to one big massive straw man argument. But what a poorly strawman, the straw is not well bound and there are tufts of straw falling all over the place. sigh. 2 Likes |

Martinez19:Here is what Hypatia used to define what we human beings term as nothing. Doctufos: Hypatia 2:3-7 Hypatia existed around the fourth and fifth century AD when micro-organisms were not yet discovered and it could be well said those days that it was 'nothing' that was responsible for the spoilage of their food(germs), formation of things seen with naked eyes(atoms)etc. But Hypatia believed that such 'nothing' were actually something which they might not know at that time. Now scientists have discovered that those nothings were actually germs which get food spoilt. So IMO, continuous study of the universe will explain the near-nothing of Richard Dawkins to these religious people. I call that near-nothing the first cause. Even vacuums are not nothing, but something. |

Jupxter: I'm cool You? In fact, the study of our physical universe always makes one feel so close to the answers, yet, so far! Although, I'm very comfortable without answers too. Answers collapse the imaginative field within which questions naturally thrive, thus killing all the fun in possibilities. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Martinez19: 'Using the Bible to prove Bible' is perfectly in order. Will it make sense to you if I say the best way to prove that President Donald Trump lives in the White House is by looking into the White house? |

HeyCorleone: It doesn't make sense to argue from a position of ignorance. If he is sure that he knows more than the Professor let him get some qualifications to that effect. You don't even have to be a rocket scientist to differentiate between evolution and science. Evolution is the religion of atheists but they pretend that it is science and the wise knows the difference. |
Re: Are Atheists Qualified To Speak On Christianity? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:06am On Dec 05, 2017 |
PastorAIO: You don't need a science qualification to discern the lie of evolution being dressed up as 'science.' |

Re: Are Atheists Qualified To Speak On Christianity? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:10am On Dec 05, 2017 |
Martinez19: Typical of atheists. When would you realise that the belief in 'evolution' does not make you a scientist? |

OLAADEGBU: You don't understand the harsh realities of the academic world. Simply disagreeing with a theory or rule can deny you opportunities and positions, even what you have much knowledge. In the case of the atheist, he doesn't want any qualification. He's just intent in knowing, and disagreeing. C'mon now they are many things you have knowledge in but disagree with but does that make you less knowledgeable in that area? |

HeyCorleone: I understand that you have to subscribe to the lies of evolution before you can pass, teach or practice science. HeyCorleone: It is a matter of imposing the religion of evolution on everyone from kindergarten to tertiary institutions and also in employment. The liberal Government would not even allow 'evolution' to be debated neither would they permit creation science to be taught in schools. |

PastorAIO: isms are ideologies not science. Creation science is true science. Evolution is based on blind faith while Creation is based on faith in God. Faith in God is not blind faith, it is based on the fact of God's existence seen clearly through creation. |

@op, You are not qualified to speak on Evolution because:.................... 1.You do not know what it means!!! You even think it has something to do with the origin of life!!! This is imbeclic!!! 2.You do not even understand what it tries to explain!!! Evolution predicts that at one time, toads and frogs shared a common ancestor!!! For you to claim that Evolution is not real, you are indirectly(and foolishly) implying that frogs came from planet Kermit, while toads came from the buttocks of Mr Snufflelufagus!!! |
