Change the title of this thread to "If natural selection was true, why are there constants", if you are to be correct, for evolution exists reasonably, not randomly - chance is an illusion. The theory of randomized natural selection is wrong, but evolution in essence is absolutely indisputable.

Vadoma people





So does god have ten or four toes?

How did this happen - no it is not a photoshop - it is real I have seen it with my own eyes as they come from region where I was born Livingstone

I keep posting this and no creationist ever explains why this happened. Cat got your tongue?

There's an interesting discussion on Constants (Including Planck's) here:

Are the universal constants changing? - Urban Astronomer

It seems to me that the question posed by the OP Lee, is meaningless, or perhaps not clearly put.

In terms of 'evilution' (since Lee's Creationist definition is remote from what evolution theory is actually about) whether constants change or remain unchanging or are altered by different conditions, whatever they are, why should it be a problem that what worked in physical terms is what we actually have, whereas what didn't in terms of what would work together long enough to produce the illusion we call 'matter' would not be around very long.

The idea that 'something' (read 'Someone' ) had to decide that it would be this way is what Lee is of course suggesting. In fact the question, correctly put, would be, how could there be constants (unchanging or not) unless God made them?

Is this observed Science? Or is it Religion? Does it require GREATER FAITH to believe that these constants arose by random chance or that these laws are the natural byproduct result from a never changing constant Creator?

Wouldn't we expect randomness? but we observe constant laws of nature. So who is being Rationale?
If the theory of gods were true, why is there no proof whatsoever?

You said the truth, but they don't agree about the truth: they have their religion of the Evolution which is the falsehood.

They are fanatic about their false religion of the Evolution, and they don't want to see any other thing as true and correct.

In fact when (lee9786) said "constant", he did not mean the arithmatic; he means the things are stable, so why they don't change according to your alleged evolution?

On the contrary, there is no proof of your atheism; your famous leader Dawkins admitted he is not absolutely convinced that there is no god.

But, to me, I am certain of God Most Gracious: One God the Creator of everything in the universe.

Again we see the difference between those who explain their position, explain the argument and present the evidence and those who simply spout religious Faith.

It is telling that Dawkins even (supposedly) conceding that a creator of some kind can't be disproved is regarded as a weakness of faith whereas bone- headed denial of everything other than Faith - based claims is considered praiseworthy strength of belief.

If we require natural laws to be stable to survive, it's not surprising that we would observe stable natural laws : Anthropic principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ah ha the passive aggressive "answer a question with a question". The fact is the evidence of pretty much any proof whatsoever is telling against god.

You are wrong; you only assert thing that is not correct.
