| False religion (the big phonies) are just the ponds for war lords. Faithful Christians (only living by bible morals- Greek scriptures) will not bless the guns, or worship the flag, nor pledge to do good or bad for their country. In war time all are asked to pick up the gun and shoot your countries e... |

| I like to think of myself as relatively free. One often does not know to what extent he is controlled, manipulated, forced. You know your parents, wife, children, boss, and other employees. Then there is the TV media, government, religion, etc. We all think we are free, but we are all victims of our... |

| It takes more energy (work) so as to create stored potential then just that stored energy alone. There is no perfect energy transfer - will always be waist because of work done. Where did the energy come from to store all that energy into a singularity so as to be stored potential energy ready for ... |

Plants are not natural, and their systems are not natural either. (Bio-machinery - with intelligent DNA programming).
None of what grows is a natural process. And it still takes more energy in then you get out to create potential energy.

| Having the universe as a singularity gives us two choices. (1) It was happy to be a singularity and was its natural state, and so was at equilibrium at all times. (To change would be against Lot2) :wall: (2) was not happy to be a singularity and was not its natural state, and so was not at equilibri... |

| reverse entropy? Look at the formation of a solar system in the short run. (it's first say 1 billion years) Reverse entropy can occur without design on a local basis... local in space AND time. Gravity, the self-replicating nature of certain molecules and a few other properties of matter are all th... |

| Create a physical model and then do your magic. Show us all what fools we are - demonstrate the trueness of your winsome words. Working model please. Glass of water with a mix. Paper clips in a box. Any basic model showing reverse entropy without intelligence. That’s up hill without horsepower :lol: |

(1) DNA is evidence of super-human level of intelligence - biotechnology of making machines that think they themselves are alive. ... |
