“Of course, Jastrow's comment is exaggerated at best; theologians hardly predicted the Big Bang. If our universe turns out to be closed, hence with an end, this does not mean apocalyptic visions of the end of the world were on target. And even if a beginning for the universe is a successful prediction of one version of theism, this is still not that impressive. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. The Big Bang becomes strong support for God only with an argument showing that such a beginning requires a Creator.” IfsWorldMeanDoeStillsEndsBigsReligionTurnsUniverseCoursesStrongVisionSupportSuccessfulArgumentCreatorVersionsClockTargetCommentPredictionsTheologianEnd Of The WorldBangsImpressiveExaggeratedApocalypticTheismStopped Clock Author:Taner Edis
“So the laws of good driving forbade you to go off the magic ribbon except in extreme emergencies. You were ethically entitled to several inches of margin at the right-hand edge; and the man approaching you was entitled to an equal number of inches; which left a remainder of inches between the two projectiles as they shot by. It sounds risky as one tells it, but the heavens are run on the basis of similar calculations, and while collisions do happen, they leave time enough in between for universes to be formed, and successful careers conducted by men of affairs.” MenTwoEnoughHandsHappensRunningLawUniverseLeftHeavenSoundNumbersCareersSuccessfulMagicHe ManEqualShotsBasesAffairEdgesExtremesDrivingInchesEntitledEmergenciesMarginsCalculationsCollisionRibbonsSuccessful CareerProjectile Book:Oil!
