Riding on a Cosmic String

RE: Riding on a Cosmic String
DeistPaladin Wrote:When we look at reality, this is exactly the universe we find. Reality conforms to the model in which Allah is a made up god.

So your argument is that if Allah is made up, then we would expect to find the religion originate at a "specific" place in the world, and that's a baseless statement because you can't prove that. What if Allah is not made up? Isn't it still possible to have the same effects for this situation as the former?

Chuck Wrote:You seem to have no clue what cosmic string is, why it was really theorized, how it is regarded by the physics community in general, the progress towards it's experimental verification, and what are it's other implications, besides some exuberant quotations from a very partial string theory advocate.

I already posted a lot of information on cosmic strings in the original post. Did I say something wrong about them? If I did, then feel free to point out the mistakes and correct me, or you can give your own understanding of cosmic strings and what are the implications of such a thing. Also, if you do some research on google.com (by typing the words "evidence of cosmic strings"), you'll know that there's more evidence for it's existence than against it.

Chuck Wrote:In other words you appreciation for string theory seems to be based on much the same thing as your appreciation of whatever is said in the Koran. So no wonder they appear similar to you.

It's not just because of my appreciation of string theory and the Quran.

I have clearly outlined the similarities in my original post by supporting them with the most current scientific knowledge of cosmic strings.

True, but in Islam the concept is a little bit different.

thesummerqueen Wrote:And I say that to point out that the concept might equally be due to something in the human psyche as any real relation to a phenom in the cosmos.

If that's the case, then how could something that existed only in the human psyche have so much similarity with the concepts in modern theoretical physics? To me that sounds more like a proof of a divine source.

I'll reply to your comments at a later post when I have more time. No hurry for me. But you did bring up some good points in your post. Smile
