Swimme 3: Birth to Earth

[dorthhop22]

"A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory."

Richard Dawkins

[jawgraphy]

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” -- Carl Sagan

Ultimately, one cannot reject religion and one cannot reject science. Religion is a catalyst for SUBJECTIVE spiritual experiences (that does not work for all people) and science is a way of rationally upholding those experiences through OBJECTIVE research, analysis, and experimentation.

Spiritual = Symbolic

Scientific = Data based

Therefore: Balance is necessary. :)

mike pikey boy has a tiny weiner

[flockofseagulls87]

Why is it that on every science video religious lunatics and devout materialists have to have a pissing contest? The religious will not convert anyone by proclaiming that the heavens declare the glory of god, and the materialist will not convince anyone that all is meaningless. One would think that in the face of this unimaginably vast and incomprehensible universe, a little more humility would come into play. 

[clarissa1133]

exactly your so called father is just an imaginary friend.

[WICKEDMAN9MM]

A very smart, smart, smart man!!!!!

[Other4815]

Praise our Heavenly Father for making us and creating such an amazing universe.

[xllGustavollx]

your "heavenly father" doesn't exists

[saynitso]

smile

@xllGustavollx

Even though God dosen´t exist, you still can´t deny him. Cause just make yourself God.

[chillie56]

consider this. why are we 99.999% genetically similar to apes but the bible says we were created separately from all other life.

[kLav85]

so... if you found the beginning of time... doesn't that mean if you go the opposite way you did, you would still be able to see the beginning of time? The light is traveling, and although it hit us, what, 13 billion years ago... shouldn't that exact same light be traveling still somewhere in the universe?

[Dragoongrl]

We are Stardust. (Song reference & literal)

Magnificent manifestations of billions apon billions of years of conversion of energy, coming together to create a cohesive being.

 in the never ending

in the Continuum, which cannot be stopped .

It will continue as long as there is energy

And there always will be, for us, not so,

but for the amazingly dynamic elements from which we are composed

Eternity is the limit and will not contain the certainess of existance of our energy

-angel

[wisdomoftheancient]

Amazing video!..

Even an idiot like me could understand..

Answering to the question "why God was given a penis". this is my interpretation: -Many ancient peoples said themselves to come from Stars. From darkness, by a Light and a Sound, a Vibration. In the beginning God was both, female and male.

After came the Pathriarc's vision of God.. and the inferior/souless vision of us, women. That's why "the penis" I guess..

[gingerken]

Brian Swimme has a fascinating way of awaking people to the wonder of the universe.

[djred19678]

This is astronomy for hippies.

[Slavesrevolt]

Well he didn't describe how an atom is composed of protons and neutrons with electrons circling the nucleus. The composition of the atom depends upon the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus with an equal number of electrons circling.

This information doesn't change anything. His information is still valid. Evolution is happening and we are a part of it. We can't stop it or change it but we can choose to ignore it.

Personally I prefer to investigate it. Form questions not statements.

[SmokingPhoenix85]

This guy dont sound like he knows what he is talking about, he missed out on the nutrons.

[collectinginfo]

We have created more elements in the periodic chart by science by stress and heat..

[bRUNOXaNDeR]

we only can know what exactly started our lives, by loking to the past.

if big bang really exists, and had created time, only an energy of that equal power, should make him go back...

we are just a fuking miracle, and in my opinion, it starts inside an hydrogen atom, because is a very stupid atom, can produce positive and negative ions, reacts to any kind of other atom, and its important for all our life..btw..the water is one of the most complex thing in our life..

[greycanvus]

i'll this is truly amazing information! that is exactly what i needed to hear!! ...i'm now learning more and more of cosmosology and astrology, lot of amazing and beautiful truths.

[Piero1940]

There is a scientist named Davies that makes the universe in a organized system,he explains how scientists can't find any answer to the question about the self-organized universe,they for some strange reason prefer to not to answer,can explain someone why?

[Piero1940]

Only fools believe in creation of universe from nothing,we are not the product of random situation,I don't understand why certain scientists wants us to believe in chaotic universe,there are others like Davies that put the universe in a organized system.

[bakeingfoo22]

thats true but some scientists believe that the big bang was caused from an energy so yeah just saying

[Piero1940]

Yes but how much energy did it need? I can't imagine it,and where it got from?

[bakeingfoo22]

well god is said too be enternal so that mean that he has been around forever with no time or space so that where it should have came from if it came from anything

[Slavesrevolt]

Where did God come from? Why do you give "him" a penis? Who invented the alphabet he used to create everything with? You know he created everything in the dark and then he said let there be light. Isn't he awesome, he did it all in the dark.

Those fairy tales are appealing to the unenlightened.

Take a trip up the Nile some time and see where all your god myths originated. All the scriptural plagiarism stolen from stuff carved in stone as much as 4 thousand years ago.

[kLav85]

up to 8000 years actually.

That being said, wouldn't that just reinforce the existence of some sort of entity?

I'm catholic, and attend church.

I've NEVER once heard a deacon, Priest, Bishop, Arch Bishop, Cardinal or the Pope refer to GOD as a male, or a female for that matter, or even an elephant. I'm under the impression that God is a spirit / entity. did you prove these so called fairy tails with science? is their a possibility of coincidence? or did you travel back in time?

[dartmouth77]

We need more scientists to make such profound observations available to non scientists...perhaps such a calling would slowly shift skeptics, fundamentalists, away from a dangerous world view

[jenniferjones1000]

Brian Swimme is my all time favorite scientist... this is fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! :-)

[TheREALBoris]

and Allah 'said', "let there be light, and then there was light". very good to know that science supports Allah's creation! :D

[sankaii]

i didn't see any science theory that support the creation of any religion. All the living thing are not just "made" by some1.

[moneymasterjet]

I'm just glad that we're all waking up from that old "story" (religion), and expanding into a higher awareness of things. Thank you Swimme for your work!

[bakeingfoo22]

well they dont mysteriously pop up as well

[bakeingfoo22]

haha your funny real boris
