Evolutionists: What is the fascination with the origin of the universe?

For theists, it's a simple answer. God created it. But for believers in evolution, it's like an obsession. Why would you want to know? Why would you need to know? If you're an evolved being, your current state is more sophisticated than your former state. Your future state would be more sophisticated than your current state. What's the obsession with the past? If Bill Gates wanted to make something better than Windows 7, why would he want to go back to Windows 1.0? Just a thought.

    The evidence for evolution is and has been interpreted from a Philosophical and ideological Bias, THAT alone destroys it, They employ a False Dichotomy, meaning the evidence HAS to be this or that But IT cannot be God,

    In The series of Below Listed Videos, Lee Stroble a FORMER ATHEIST Honestly and Objectively did his own research without the influence of a pre-set world view and Contaminated by a Hostile anti christian Philosophy and ideology.

    I suggest watching them from an Unemotional Objective point of view and consider the Possibility of the fact that Evolution teachers have lied to you for More Philosophical reasons than for Pure truth of Science, Ohh I know, some people will answer with all these Long winded answers trying to sound all smart with walls of texts and links and think if they sound intelligent it has Validity, Fact is it doesn't, Don't be fooled by high-sounding words from Fools,

    Um, evolution is a biological process, not a cosmological one.

    Understanding evolution helps us understand our place in life and allows us to make predictions based on the relation between organisms. That seems to be quite relevant.

    Your Windows version analogy is rather odd. Creating an operating system would still require base-level programming so an understanding of the x86 architecture would be advantageous to Windows programmers. Since we know the origins of x86 architecture and have documentation for it, we don't need to research its origins and reverse engineer anything. We don't have a manual for reality. The mathematics equasions that describe the interaction of photons didn't come to us from the universe's inventor, it was determined through rigorous testing and repeated observation. If Windows 1.0 was 'God given' and came with no documentation I could understand the analogy, but it isn't.

    I think you mean astrophysicist.

    Anyway the goal of evolutionists is not to create something better than what we have now, it's to better understand what we have now. It's like if Bill Gates died and willed you the source code to Windows. Windows 7 code is so complicated you can't understand it so you go back to Windows 1 to get a glimpse at the bare bones of the Windows system, then you work your way up from there.

    Just by looking at anything you're looking into the past. Sure, in the ordinary experiences, this is hardly noticed. But in the scale of the galaxies and the universe itself, looking at distant things is seeing them as they were thousands, millions, or even billions of years ago.

    I want to know what the limit is, and I want to know how those conditions came to be. My fascination could only be described by saying I want to know what the limits of the universe are, and what the conditions were that permitted the universe to exist as it does and as it will.

    I'm not concerned with sophistication as you've put it.

    I'll turn the question back on you. What's the fascination with a mythical deity that screws around with women on earth creating 'sons'. What's with the fascination with a deity that somehow creates enough water to cover the earth. Where did all that water go? No, blind faith in a myth doesn't make you right. It just makes you stupid.

    You're not going to believe this, but there actually are people who concern themselves with ultimate questions such as "Where did it all come from?" and "What is man's place in the universe?" Of course, as you realize, such inquiry is a total waste of time, nonethess, certain strange people persist in their search for answers. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to a special showing of Justin Bieber.

    People can make an answer but there is no a reason. (This is your so-called free will.)

    God can make a reason but there is no an answer. (This is your so-called destiny & chance.)

    Sometimes I say, newton's apple is more clever than newton.

    Let's go!

    Time has two properties.

    Progress(related to evolution) and Event(related to Creation) by turns.

    and Probability exist between two properties.

    Mobius strip explains it very well. (one progress, one event, one probability)

    Look at this!

    Chicken (event) Egg (progress) & Egg (event) Chicken (progress)

    Schrodinger's cat was placed between one properties, just event. So, probability can not exist.

    The reason, Wave-particle duality of light. I think so...

    Progress / Event / Probability is a time. This is my trinity.

    --------------------------------------…

    Does time have the shape? Does soul have the shape?

    Everything has the shape but these two in the world.

    So, I made a great assumption "Time is soul(thinking, knowledge, memory, etc.)".

    It was the beginning of my UNIONTERA.

    We know...

    To our great discouragement, these doesn't have one way by us.

    Time walked to the way of science. Soul walked to the way of religion.

    Now, I propose a great reconciliation.

    Light up candle for a second. A second of light exist permanently or not?

    --------------------------------------…

    Einstein deceive our world. Where is our common sense?

    I mean, why he didn't tell us this so easy common sense.

    The only base which can be the cause of Einstein's assumption...

    [Assumption] "principle of constancy of light velocity".

    [The only base] "Time of light is different from the starting point time."

    This base is not an assumption but a common sense. Can you see?

    In my opinion, he already knew this base.

    This common sense is a certain evidence for me.

    This is my uniontera.

    Existence is the time expressed by light itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN1jTwHUC7E

    - Key Point -

    1. Arrow A is the laser work. (Same time work)

    2. Arrow B is the reason of gravity. (also, Higgs boson individually / Different time work)

    3. The rose line is the beginning light. (result from Bible)

    4. The existence of different time. (result from relativity of light)

    5. 2 dimension is not a space. (result from 2-axis, math)

    6. Universe came from nothing. (result from No.5 / cf. Playing with bubbles)

    6-1. A barrier[posititon] exist between the inner and outer bubbles. But universe do not have that barrier. (Cause of Inertia)

    6-2. Nothing is not a no existence. No existence is a zero dimension. There is two zero dimension. One has a position. The other doesn't have a position. These different positions were connected by something. That "something" is not a what but a way. (Cause of Light)

    7. Progress / Event / Probability is a time. (This is my trinity.)

    8. Wave-particle duality of light, creation & evolution, uncertainty principle, etc (result from No.7)

    9. Coalescing of different time (Cause of Rotation / Equator has plenty of time.)

    10. Your so-called black hole is a wholly condensed time. (cf. Kerr spacetime, math)

    11. The reason of "your so-called magnetic field" (result from step3 and 4)

    12. The reason of "your so-called electric field" (result from the crack of time / Same time's crack is a different time's coalescing. / Cause of Static electricity)

    13. Your so-called "space" is a crack of time. (result from No.12 / Cause of Lightning)

    14. Boundary is a crack of space. (result from No.13 / Same space's crack is a different time's contact. / cf. Fractal)

    15. Boundary is nothing. Your so-called hole is a boundary itself. Also, nothing is K=0 temperature. (result from No.14 / cf. Calabi-Yau Space, math)

    16. This is a wall of your so-called fire. (result from No.15) - copyright ⓒ uniontera

    Our nonsense have come from one time. Uniontera is a key.

    English is not my first language, sorry!

    If it is difficult to understand, just remember & enjoy "Hand touching everything is a time". This is the only one result of uniontera.

    Sadly you prove that it is not your so called "evolutionists" but BAD christians like yourself!

    The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!

    Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!

    Nice that christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense!

    But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology!

    Surveys suggest that 29% of American christians are so extremist in their beliefs that they fall well outside of the accepted bounds of christianity!

    At least be honest and state which extremist sect you belong to so that GOOD christians can disassociate themselves from you!

    The simple answer "god did it" is what theists use to explain anything they don't understand. Other people would like to learn the reason for things they don't know about.

    The theory of evolution explains the origin of species, not the origin of the universe.
