THINK ABOUT THIS: The Life-Giving Miracle of Water
Where would we humans be without water? Well, there is a reason the Bible uses water to symbolize life and salvation — without water, there is no life, simple as that — as at Revelation 21:6.
Dr. Michael Denton, author of “The Miracle of Man.”
That said, the physical properties of water are amazing and go a long way toward explaining why life is impossible without water.
That’s according to biologist and medical doctor Michael Denton of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and author of “The Miracle of Man.”
The viscosity of water, for example, is just right to enable the flow of blood throughout our bodies. And remember, as we saw yesterday, the human heart pumps an estimated 100 million red blood cells through the miles and miles of capillaries in a body with every beat.
Then there are the evaporative cooling capabilities of water, which are essential to maintaining body temperatures at a life-sustaining temperature. These are just two of the multiple examples, which Denton describes in fascinating detail in the following 8:05 video:
“Your mathematics is correct, but your physics ls abominable,” as Einstein wrote to cosmological theorist Georges Lemaitre in 1927, dismissing Fr. Lemaitre’s rejection of the General Theory’s extraneous “cosmological constant” constraining Hubble’s red-shift expanding universe– an adjustment Einstein later called “the greatest (mistaken venture) of my life.”
Just so… absent compelling rationale, William of Ockham’s “Principle of Parsimony” holds– never multiply cause-and-effect beyond necessity, for “nature does nothing in vain, and more is in vain when less will serve.” In context of an extrapolated Big Bang, undetectable Dark Matter/Energy, “many worlds” conjectures from MACHOS and WIMPS to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (“quantum-gravitational” effects called MOND), present-day cosmology needs concepts unifying phenomena on macro- vs. micro-scales.
What’s missing are syncretist accounts addressing Special Relativity’s time-dilation/interval vs. quantum-probability’s Universal Present; a circulating complex/virtual (“imaginary”) vs. material-physical (“real”) interface accelerating “finite but unbounded” expansion into probabilistic phase-space by hyper-geometric elements incorporating Cantor’s “consummated infinite” called Aleph-0 plus Mobius-twisted 2-D strips as complementary time-streams pursuant to Euclid’s paradoxical “parallel postulate.”
If 1800 to 1899, 1900 to 1999, are any indication, 2000 to 2099 will see advances literally inconceivable to conventional thinkers in 2022.
Thanks for taking the time to do a detailed and interesting response.
Very nice gibberish. You will be very successful in academia. Still it would be nice if you showed some effort to make the comment about the subject of the post: water.
The “Ultimate Giver of Life” is… Water?
Hard to imagine a more pagan claim, methinks.
