I cant' find how to start a new thread, so this is as close as I
can get.
The subject of giantism validates or ruins early Genesis. So
here is the point of this intro video: giantism and the evil
races of pre-Israel Judea are not two topics.

Most interesting was the expression 'these individual rocks are
so large, they are not weighed...' There are hundreds of
example of this around the world that make uniformitarianism the
infantile fantasy explanation that it is.
Now, I'll try to get back to the thread's discussion.
Everyone is welcome to show me where the NEW TOPIC button is. I
have been here 5 times and I still don't see anything close.
Just MARK READ.

[font=arial]When people reach what is commonly called the age of
reasoning; some of their very first questions are: Why am I
here? Where did I come from? What is the meaning of life, and is
there a purpose for mine? Is there a reason why I exist?
I think it's very normal (or at least very common) for people to
seek a justification for their existence; and without it, they
can only conclude that the human experience is futile; which can
be roughly defined as serving no useful purpose; for example:
Nobel Prize winner, author of several best-selling books, and
recipient of at least a dozen honorary degrees, physicist Steven
Weinberg (who views religion as an enemy of science), in his
book "The First Three Minutes" wrote: The more the universe
seems comprehensible, the more it seems pointless. But if there
is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least
some consolation in the research itself . . . the effort to
understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts
human life a little above the level of a farce and gives it some
of the grace of tragedy.
What a dismal appraisal. In Mr. Weinberg's opinion, the human
experience scarce escapes the categories of farce and tragedy;
its quest for knowledge seems the only thing that gives humanity
any justification to exist at all. The universe? It's just a
meaningless void decorated with fascinating objects --a carnival
side show of cosmic curiosities, so to speak.
Wouldn't it be sad if we only lived and died like insects and
fungi? I mean, what would be the point of it all? They say a
mind is a terrible thing to waste. What real advantage is it to
have something so useful as a human mind if it's only going to
die and stop working after many years of learning and
experience? And what real advantage is it for the mind of the
present to make the world a better place for the next generation
of minds if the mind of the present doesn't live to see it?
That's really no more significant an existence than that of the
individuals in a bee hive or a termite colony.
I think people find comfort in perceiving themselves part of a
grand scheme instead of walking across the stage of their
all-too-brief life as an insignificant speck in a pointless
cosmos. Belief that there's someone somewhere above themselves
gives people's existence meaning and purpose which, in my
opinion, is at least one of the reasons why supreme beings are
so popular.
Galileo felt that science and religion are allies rather than
enemies-- two different languages telling the same story; a
story of symmetry and balance: heaven and hell, positive and
negative, weak and strong, right and left, up and down, night
and day, hot and cold, God and Satan. Science and religion are
not at odds; no, in reality, science is just simply too young to
understand.
Dr. Robert Jastow, founder of the Goddard Institute for space
studies at NASA, in his book "God And The Astronomers" says:
Strange developments are going on in astronomy. One of these is
the discovery that the universe had a beginning. And that means
there has to be a Beginner. The scientist has scaled the
mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak,
and as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a
band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.
