Sorry, Charles.
Was that Youtube link to something by Dawkins?
We can't get Youtube in China.

Anyway, this is about #76210.

It´s a weird way to tell anyone that!

A universe from nothing. The physicist Lawrence Krauss explaining how the universe was measured, what it consists of and the flat shape of it and why. Quantum fluctuation can cause the universe. No excess energy to start with. The cosmological constant causes it to speeed up. Confirms WMAP.
Hubblediagrams through time.
Takes us through the history of physics also.
If you look at the news on your right, he is mentioned.

It might 'appear' to be flat at this time, with current scientific understanding...the same as the earth was consider flat at one time but was later discarded...

Never the less...why aren't the obvious intrinsic intelligent processes that govern the Universe never addressed by science?

These processes are the very foundation in the belief in God.

But yet, science refuses to look at the actual processes behind the Universe...

Science just calls these processes "natural" ("Existing in or caused by nature")but never really questions the actual processes directly.

Why?

Science is an ideology, that for the most part is anti-religion...
There are really only two ways to look at the creation of the Universe...either it is the result of a inconceivable intelligence ...or it somehow magically manifested itself out of nothing?

So which is more rational?

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"

Observer effect (physics)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_...

"However in quantum mechanics, which deals with very small objects, it is not possible to observe a system without changing the system, so the observer must be considered part of the system being observed."

..."and God saw that it was good."

omnipresent...

Adjective:

1. Present everywhere at the same time.

Luke 17:21
"nor will they say,‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

So Isaiah 40:22 calls the world a circle.
Does that mean the world isn’t flat?
Pizzas are circles, but pizzas are flat.
Furthermore, if you put that verse in context, you find that God is up there, sitting on his throne, and watching all the people, who appear to him like grasshoppers.
If the world is round, he can only watch half of us at one time.
Anyway, either the Book of Isaiah was a group project or Isaiah contradicted himself, because Isaiah 11:12 says,“He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”
Those four corners, whatever they are amd wherever they are, get a lot of attention in the Bible.
Job 37:3 says,“Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.” Job 28:24 and Job 38:13 likewise speak of “the ends of the earth.”
Revelation 7:1 speaks of “four angels standing on the four corners of the earth.”
How do you explain the tree which Nebuchadnezzar saw?
According to Daniel 4:10-11, he had a vision of a “tree in the midst of the earth ...and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.”

Also, there are verses which state that the earth is immovable ( I Chronicles 16:30; Psalm 93:1; Psalm 96:10; Psalm 104:5; Isaiah 45:18).

Also, how did Satan take Jesus on a mountain top and show him all the nations of the world (Matthew 4:8)? And how is it possible that “every eye shall see him” when Jesus appears in the clouds (Revelation 1:7)?

“The very comprehensibility of the world points to an intelligence behind the world. Indeed, science would be impossible if our intelligence were not adapted to the intelligibility of the world. The match between our intelligence and the intelligibility of the world is no accident. Nor can it properly be attributed to natural selection, which places a premium on survival and reproduction and has no stake in truth or conscious thought. Indeed, meat-puppet robots are just fine as the output of a Darwinian evolutionary process.”

No, it is an honest statement regarding the knowledge of the one making the statement.

"God did it" is a statement of laziness and pure unadulterated ignorance... and you have it in spades.

Isa. 40:21 Have ye known him sitting AND Isa 40:22
Rethoric Questionmark inferred.
None has ofcourse, it is inspirational talk.
No mention whatsoever of shutting up.
But you should learn to read the bible.

Please, intelligent design is laughable. Why do you think they call those who believe that nonsense IDiots.

inferred in the infinitesemally small, in all.

Well it@s alltogether not that obvious since thingies that small repulse each other. We frankly end up with more nothing.

But nothing happened suddenly.(that should be cryptic enough to satisfy any religion') It took however a long time to make a start of our environment and life but once it got going it snowballed.

But only in revelation you find god of the universe.
Not in Job.
