The difference here is the astronomers and physicists aren't just doing rationality, they are using equipment to observe and measure. So, I tend to lean heavily upon what they observe and measure Apologetics, is what people do when the toss around ideas and have no budget to do observations and measuring and testing.
The data obtained will not change no matter if the scientist is a marxist-pagan, ,or a believing Christian. That is, if both are honest in relating the facts of their work? That's all on them. . -----Original Message----- From: Philip Benjamin <medinucl...@hotmail.com> To: everything-list@googlegroups.com <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wed, Dec 28, 2022 10:46 am Subject: RE: Physics?

Yes, even nothing has laws!!! Matter and energy are all governed by laws. Laws of physics and chemistry govern the properties of matter. If Dark-Matter is real, then it also MUST be governed by LAWS—immutable LAWS. Laws cannot precede analytical intelligence. Intelligence, which is an integral part of Personhood. Only a Person can be a Lawgiver. An amorphous glob of SOMETHING is not Personhood. This is also he issue of aseity. What is more rational—dead matter giving (trans-speciating) LIFE, or is itETERNAL LIFE producing dead matter and life forms? WAMP-the-Ingrate and other Marxist pagans are gropingin incognito territory, of outer darkness!!

This almost goes to the essays by a few physicists which asks, "Are there any laws?" I would say yes, or perhaps evolving laws in an evolving cosmos? But I am not the astronomer or physicist. https://bgr.com/science/the-laws-of-physics-dont-actually-exist-according-to-this-physicist/ I am quite partial to some of the ideas that the laws, as we see them, have much to do with the kind of observers we happen to be. I have collected numerous quotes from physicists who have thought along these lines here: https://alwaysasking.com/why-does-anything-exist/#Why_Laws and here: https://alwaysasking.com/why-does-anything-exist/#Observation_as_Fundamental Here are a couple examples: "The top down approach we have described leads to a profoundly different view of cosmology, and the relation between cause and effect. Top down cosmology is a framework in which one essentially traces the histories backwards, from a spacelike surface at the present time. The no boundary histories of the universe thus depend on what is being observed, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has a unique, observer independent history. In some sense no boundary initial conditions represent a sum over all possible initial states." -- Stephen Hawking and Thomas Hertog in “Populating the landscape: A top-down approach” (2006) "It is an attempt to explain the Goldilocks factor by appealing to cosmic self-consistency: the bio-friendly universe explains life even as life explains the bio-friendly universe. […] Cosmic bio-friendliness is therefore the result of a sort of quantum post-selection effect extended to the very laws of physics themselves." -- Paul Davies in “The flexi-laws of physics” (2007) Jason . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
