MORE PROOF THAT THE SO-CALLED UNIVERSAL LAWS AND CONSTANTS ARE ACTUALLY VARIABLE

PHYS ORG:
One of the most controversial questions in cosmology is why the fundamental constants of nature seem fine-tuned for life.

One of these fundamental constants is the fine-structure constant, or alpha, which is the coupling constant for the electromagnetic force and equal to about 1/137.0359.

If alpha were just 4% bigger or smaller than it is, stars wouldn't be able to make carbon and oxygen, which would have made it impossible for life as we know it to exist.

Now, results from a new study show that alpha seems to have varied a tiny bit in different directions of the universe billions of years ago, being slightly smaller in the northern hemisphere and slightly larger in the southern hemisphere.

One intriguing possible implication is that the fine-structure constant is continuously varying in space, and seems fine-tuned for life in our neighborhood of the universe.
EVEN THE SPEED OF LIGHT HAS BEEN MEASURED AND BEEN SHOWN TO VARY OVER TIME.

BOTTOM-LINE:

WE CAN'T SEE. MEASURE, IMAGINE OR EXPLAIN 85% OF THE UNIVERSE.

BUT THE IDIOT STEVIE HAWKING IS SURE THERE'S NO GOD.

YEAH, RIGHT.

NOTE THIS:

EVERYTHING YOU EXPERIENCE SHOWS ENTROPY: THE CUP OF COFFEE GETS COOLER; THE PAINT FADES; IRON RUSTS.

BUT LIFE GETS MORE COMPLICATED AND THE UNIVERSE IS NOT ONLY GETTING MORE COMPLEX; IT'S EXPANDING AT AN ACCELERATING RATE.

HAWKING AND HIS COMRADES CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT.

WE BELIEVERS CAN.

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT:
  • PUT ALL THE PARTS OF A SWISS WATCH ON A DESK.
  • TELL ME: HOW MANY TRILLIONS OF YEARS WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO BECOME A WORKING WATCH?
  • NOW, TELL ME HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR A WATCH TO FORM ITSELF OUT OF THE BASE MATERIALS?
  • AND REMEBER: A WATCH IS SIMPLER THAN AN AMOEBA.
  • WHEN YOU GET AN ANSWER FOR ME, I WILL STOP BELIEVING.

Why wait? g-d has found a way to put the parts of a swiss watch together in the course of 48 hours...he created the watchmaker...

YES: WITHOUT THE LORD AND HIS CREATION THERE WOLD BE NO WATCH - EVER!
