Watch out for the universe creating spider. It makes its web to trap lunch.
Its very different because its a new theory. Just like Einstein's theory was very different when he first proposed it. I don't think that somehow makes it less valid.

And it is down to earth. It seeks to explain our very existence from a scientific perspective. Do you want to go back to Newton? Should I just disregard all contemporary theories?

I can't post everything about Quantum Theory in one post. Feel free to do the research yourself. It gets complicated.

And if philosophy counts, spirituality and myth would be considered philosophy. Many people cite philosophical sources when making an argument. Which is why sources from the Bible would be valid.

No need to disregard all contemporary theories. But I would think there should at least be some plausible tangible evidence to show that dinos and humans lived together 900 years ago. There is none, unless you feel that the stegosaurus carving at Angkor Wat is proof. Do you think the carving is of a stegosaur that was alive at the time of the artisans who made the carving?

They were there first, for thousand of years. They probably wonder what you're doing in their home.

I don't care either ... but you entertain me.

myth definition | Dictionary.com

Myth doesn't seem to correlate with fact, so probably would not take that as such. And spirituality seems to be a personal belief.

And I don't see how Quantum Theory relates to the Bibles events, can you give me your interpretation?

If a theory states that many realities can be present in the same space and time is valid, then that means that reality is not absolute and that leaves room for infinite possibilities. Not every possibility has to be proven - that would be impossible because the possibilities are infinite. The only thing that needs to be valid is the theory.

Glad I can entertain.... forum would be boring if not entertaining.

And as far as I know spiders live in webs, my home does not resemble such. They are welcome to live underneath and stay away from me though!!!!!! I come equipped with a pretty powerful arm, sadly for them I don't do the screaming girl thing, they are probably used to.

This is a debate forum. No need to get the dictionary. Myth does correlate with truth. In fact, that is what myth seeks to present. And of course spirituality is personal, so is adhering to Plato or Socrates. I don't see how that makes it less applicable in discourse.

As for Quantum Theory and the Bible - see my other post.

Be nice to spiders and spiders will be nice to you . I'm really just joking about the spiders by the way. Although I think they are very unique, and I do respect them. Do you know they are starting to use spider webs to make material for space equipment? They use it because its stronger than the material that we currently use.

How so? Unicorns are a Myth and Giants and such they are true? All myths are true? Personal belief does not equate truth, to the person maybe but not in the society as a whole.
