Actually the Bible does mention the age of the Earth. Bishop Berkley discovered from his extensive bible studies that the Earth came into existence in 4004 BC. The Bible also teaches that the Earth has a ceiling called "the firmament" and that Mars is stuck to that ceiling with divine putty.

"You are not loving Jesus?"

This is hilarious. Wonderful satire. I only wish you had more.

Religion is like a leg cast, Annoying and a pain in the ass.

@MRClarke1987 Religion = Slowed our advances by a thousand years. Good job!

[MRClarke1987]

I could be way off here, so dont flame me, I'd rather be corrected with a positive answer, so every one can realise what religion has done to our race.

religion = war

religion = 1000 years behind in modern technology

religion = jesus tv or whatever it is

Science = Medicine, Better understanding of space

Science = Better, Cleaner technologies and energy

Science = Fired the Hubble up God's anus

If I go to hell for what I said, I guess I will have to bite the pillow and sing for England!

no, but for the sake of a thought experiment, we'll say imagine a dice was a perfect random number generator, until a hand past near, then 6 became more likely.

There are strange things at that level, such as particles not being distinguishable: they are effectively indistinguishable, unlike real world objects, and that creates changes in how the system works.

You can never relate an electron to anything in the macro world. Its nothing like a marble with a negative large.

[formless777]

But dice aren't a properly turbulent system. If you are properly aware of the start condition you can always predict the outcome. There is actually an industry in scalpel blades which breaks coke bottles and always generates a 1 micron edge blade that always falls in a red circle near the bottle dropping machine. That system doesn't even rely on a perfect knowledge of start conditions.

It does point to something deeper, yes, but the solution wont be anything like classical physics. It will probably just get stranger. I cant see quantum uncertainty disappearing any time soon. Its well established.

It hard to just let go of classical physics, where everything makes sense in the normal world, but to do quantum, you have to. Is hard to accept or understand what's going on, but it all works. Its not this world at that level. We can't compare. The maths models do well though.

[geoffart]

quantum texts, at every opportunity its drilled into us again and again and again that it isn't a lack of information that causes indeterminism and uncertainty. That those things are a part of the world at the quantum level. The maths is amazing, because it predicts things, such as why electrons repel each other.

imagine a load of dice that keep changing their value randomly, but when a hand is near the chance of a 6 becomes greater. maybe cant see the hand, only its effect: a prob wave.

[formless777]

Do you really think it is the reverse ? I think the inherrent randomness in the system does a lot to debunk god, and quantum indeterminism is actually just the current limit of human knowledge which will probably fall within my lifetime. There are already "chips" emerging.

[geoffart]

current theory and experimental results: it says an electron has no trajectory and does not even travel as a particle (like a ball for example). It travels as a probability wave, which collapses upon measurement. It collapses to a point, where the probability of the collapse at any point (where the particle is) is proportional to the amplitude of the wave function squared.

[geoffart]

what physics is really about is observing things, noting down what you see and how a system behaves, then if you come across another system, you may see those same rules. If you do, then you know there is a link. Stats is a tool just to confirm the pattern here. This is the point where Einstein said "god does not play dice" interesting how indeterminism threatened his believe in god, where as in this discussion it is the reverse.
