I believe if you removed all that wasted space earth woukd fit into a tea cup. Black holes, from my understanding is just a mass of gravity, it can be caused by collapsing stars and what not. And time can also be affected by gravity to the point it flows slower in in places of extreme gravity. This is not my field though, i study biochemistry. Physics is so vast and complex, i think this kind of topic needs higher forms of education to really get into it. People dont need 6+ years of research and learning to become a physicist for no reason. It is also the reason atheists tend to be very well educated because the more you learn the less you can attribute to God(s). |
To be accurate, athiests tend to have more secular education, but it's not as simple as "the more you learn, the less you attribute to God." That is on par with claiming that the more you learn, the less you need food (because more educated people are far less likely to be farmers.) Those who focus on education are less likely to believe in God, but they are a lot less likely to have invested significant time considering him a viable option, and learning about that. While I do think that education can cause many beliefs to be contradicted, it doesn't change the validity of the source of those beliefs. (I.e. person X believes things about God which go both against science, and aren't supported by the Bible. When these beliefs are showed to be factually false(i.e. 6 thousand year old earth), he loses his faith, never realizing the scientific facts don't actually contradict what is actually in the Bible - just his faulty interpretation)
There's also the factorthat being educated makes you feel more equipped to make decisions on things which you have no knowledge about. "I am well educated, I don't believe in all that stuff." There was a period when doctors, in general, felt that it was insulting if someone suggested they need to wash their hands. They were very educated gentlemen, and their hands were clean enough. Ignaz Semmelweis drastically reduced infant mortality rates, simply by washing his hands, before deliverying babies... but his peers didn't want to hear it.
