Thank you Muhammad. :) I did read the Qur'an once (in English), a very long time ago. I remember reading a story about a boy and his dog(?) that went in to a cave and slept, waking up 300 years later...... or something like that. And many references to the Old Testament. I ought to read it...

What are Surahs, Tony? Are they simply Qur'anic verses?

Happy New Year! I should not wish time away but I'll be happier when spring comes along!

Hello Tony. Have you actually got a translation of the Qur'an? Your six book series, is that giving a Baha'i interpretation of the Qur'an?

Indeed I did. And I showed you my reasoning with a very brief definition of methodology which Google offered me. For your convenience I will show that again, here.......:- I think it's just fancy talk. :) A google description reads:- methodology:- a system of methods used in a particular...

Korean scientists claim to have found that the expanding Universe may slow, stop and return, presumably to a single point in space. I have always thought that the most natural future for the Universe would be to pulse rather than expand for ever, and so I would agree with the big bounce theory...

My name is Badger. Explanation?

I mean that every atom and jule of energy is a part of God. Everything. Every thing, force and anything else is God. That's a fairly clear definition. Indeed, we do know know if the universe has always existed.....or not. 'Insist' is a very strong word, I think. When people insist that...

Oh no.......... I think that God IS this universe, plus all the others and anything else. So vast that the idea that we are special is ridiculous to me. Universes may be as many as grains of sand upon a beach. But we are a minute and tiny part of that. But so are our little dachshunds, the...

Simply put, AI is racing up the road to control. Scary.

I'll bet that you are a reductionist if a neighbour moves your fence posts! Oh? Are you a neurologist or just imagining neurological answers?

That is not correct. We simply do not know whether the universe existed before the great expansion or not. It might have been a collapsing mass that then burst outwards, a condition known as the big bounce. In any outcome the universe may very well be a small part of the whole. That's right...

You are asking a question in order to force your preferred answer there. If you want to pop a deity in to the answer box then you can, I suppose, but that can only be your faith or your superstition. True? None of us have any experience to help us answer the 'how did it all initiate'...

I think it's just fancy talk. :) A google description reads:- methodology:- a system of methods used in a particular area of study or activity. 😁

Ha ha! Bob Mortimer is an absolute scream, and his appearances on 'Would I lie.....' are cherished. Brian Cox is amazing. Although he has the status and knowledge of Professor, his ability to deliver basic lessons about advances in space exploration is brilliant.

Thank you for that. Yes. I would much prefer to see which part (or stage) of 'scientific method' is being performed, rather than see that term being punted. When I retired (Jan 2010) I turned away from my past work and have never looked back, or I would have been consumed in anger several...

Can you tell me the difference between 'methods' and 'methodology'? Do they mean the same thing? If so, why use them both?

All very good. I live in Kent. I have just noticed that my mobile spell-checked my 'pastors' to 'pasties'. Now I would enjoy a pasty!! :) There are both 'street' and 'beach' pastors in Whitstable/Herne Bay.

Hello Eric, the real Jesus was of this World, he was a man. Well, that's what I believe. This is our heaven, or our hell, and imagining some future kingdom is ok, it's fun maybe, but I don't think it's there. Christians can quote ten thousand verses, but how many of them live exactly as Jesus...

3i/atlas has been seen to have significantly different chemical compositions to solar system comets. With spectroscopic analysis equipment our scientists have found out a great deal about this interstellar traveller. From Google: The differences in the molecular composition and ratios of...
