Helium and Hydrogen did not exist until the clock was ticking after the Big Bang. They were made - "born" - in time. Then other atoms were made - "born" - later.<br /><br />3. In what way is an atom information? I understand that DNA is considered information because it determines patterns that follow. Any number of things can happen to that atom that will be accidental, not influenced or determined.<br /><br />3.

As the atom radiates the unbalance particles is it attempting to re-stabilized itself. The half life (an unfortunate term) means half of the particles need to be expelled (i.e. decayed: another incorrect term in use)have been. In actual practice, in that only half of the particles are expelled in each half life, the time that an atom would take to stabilize might be never.<br /><br />There are almost no naturally radio active atoms, except of course for uranium, and few unstable elemental isotopes other than the 3000 plus that have been created in a nuclear reactor.<br /><br />"And you would acknowledge that atoms had a birth, right, and a rebirth in suns?"<br /><br />NO not at all. Atoms are not born nor created, the atoms heavier than Helium and Hydrogen are assembled (built)originally from Helium and Hydrogen in the core of the stars. The heavier an element is the more stars that have reassembled it. In the process nothing is born, and nothing is destroyed, only shifted to another state.<br /><br />"The notion that "information" cannot be lost is a metaphor as well and so need not be carried exclusively by an "atom." "<br /><br />I rather doubt that physicist see that as a metaphor.<br /><br />"...my response would be that Christ did not turn out to be final and full revelation of God..."<br /><br />If you are considering this all within time and history perhaps not, but then that can't contain God can it?<br /><br />It seems probable that any race of sentient beings would have a finite biological/historical time in the Cosmos. The possibility that those time lines and geographic propinquity would overlap to where we would come face to face with each other is infinitesimally small even in such a large multiplicity of Universes that our Cosmos may be.<br /><br />So Jesus, in what ever perception, could be considered the de facto final revelation for mankind and earth.drlobojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167065726194359838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-69636719794046420882009-08-31T10:11:40.014-07:002009-08-31T10:11:40.014-07:00I suppose that in the hypotheticals of "alien...I suppose that in the hypotheticals of "alien" sentience (do we have a better word than "alien"?) - my response would be that Christ did not turn out to be final and full revelation of God... just as, for Christians, Israel turned out not to be.<br /><br />Though, to be fair, Jews still look for the Messiah.

I hope that it will be able to encompass any further expansion that may occur. If it doesn't it will be more of the fault of the theologians than of Christianity.<br /><br />I see Jesus as unique in the spiritual sense even though he/she may have many names in many places and his or her historical self may not be unique here or there or anywhere. Indeed if the Cosmos is unique then so would be the father of it.<br /><br />"An atom has a life span." <br /><br />Atoms do not suffer entropy and do not cease existence. The information that is an atom can not be destroyed, even if that atom is merged into/or stripped down to another element or is partially or totally converted to energy.<br /><br />The sum of the Cosmos is constant. That we don't know what it is has no impact on the reality of the statement.<br /><br />Implicit in the current Laws of Physics is that before the Big Bang all particles, energy, forces being together as One all knew each other in The Singularity before they journeyed out to form the present.drlobojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167065726194359838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-64369039649505143562009-08-30T12:23:42.771-07:002009-08-30T12:23:42.771-07:00Unique is an aspect of time.

It's parts may be reused in other atoms, but it's life span is a distinction (uniquity) within time.<br /><br />Within Christian theology, Jesus is unique by being uniquely representational: God/Human in One.<br /><br />So far, Christian theology can only encompass creation as we know it: the physical universes and its laws, biological life forms on earth - and perhaps the moon or mars which were shared one way or the other by blast fragments travelling to and fro - and human identity.<br /><br />If we meet "alien" sentience (I don't think "alien" biology would disturb us too much) then Christian theology will undergo it's, perhaps, last expansive absorption into something where Christ is fully and only an instance or trope, and not a universal.<br /><br />A jigsaw puzzle is only about shape and pattern recognition and does not carry categorical meaning.Feodorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216659885831979653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-81608736545289453302009-08-30T12:11:41.490-07:002009-08-30T12:11:41.490-07:00An anglican priest friend of mine feels the mid-we...An anglican priest friend of mine feels the mid-west begins with the New Jersey palisades.
