PETER KATT: DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?

As to motivation – I am not a theist. To channel Groucho, I wouldn’t belong to a group that would have me as a member. But my self-study of intelligent design, including cosmology, has nailed down my deism).
According to celebrity physicists Stephen Hawking and Lawrence Krauss humanity is luckier than my beating a healthy Tiger over 18 holes. They assert that the Universe is undirected and purposeless. This is one of two early- to mid-twentieth-century axioms. The other was an infinite Universe. But the infinite part started falling away in 1917 when Einstein’s calculations showed him the universe was collapsing onto itself (therefore not infinite) causing him to falsely create a fudge-factor, adding a cosmological constant (anti-gravity factor) that kept infinity in play. After a lot of intrigue, Einstein officially admitted his trickery in 1929. As a sign of cosmic- serendipity, physicists concluded in 1998 that this constant was indeed needed, but this time supported by the data.
This constant is one of many (~ 34) that combine with the vast math/physics’ laws. One slight variance from any of these and there are no galaxies, stars, planets, earth or you. With apologies to most cosmologists, it is as certain that you (the reader) exist as it is that the Universe has purpose. Many leading cosmologists begrudgingly, sort-of admit (with feet shuffling and throat clearing) that “there is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the Universe is in several (sic) respects ‘fine-tuned’ for life” (physicists Paul Davies), then comes the “however…”: But this “broad agreement” is as solid as vapor.
Their Harlem Globetrotter hide-the-fine-tuned Universe tricks, makes researching this topic for a novice (me) like Mr. Magoo finding the right bathroom at night in a Donald Trump house. Instead of a reasonably direct line from: nothing-to-everything in a split second (Big-Bang); expansion; formation of stars; galaxies forming; death of stars; solar systems; earth; and finally humans, I had to wade through: but for the grace of undirected fortune, carbon-based humans would be silicon-based boobs in a different galaxy: singularity-did-it, bubble universes; string-theory: M theory, multi-universes: dark matter; Higgs boson; inflation; g-spot (just kidding) etc. Hawking, Krauss et al. really want don’t want us to make the obvious connection between a cosmos-from-nothing to sentient humans figuring out the math/physics of the universe at the exact place and time to do this. (Our position in the Universe is ideal for observation and much earlier or later we couldn’t see back to the beginning).
Separating the wheat-from-the-chaff became easy with some experience. The chaff comes from the atheism-or-materialism-as-an-ideology crowd (both scientific based and whackos), new-earth Christians and cosmologists proselytizing their special hypothesis. The most informative are thoughtful / reasonable Christian sites. For me, the most helpful is a Catholic site with a specific science/cosmology section http://www.strangenotions.com/science/cosmology/ whose contributors are truly experts, some who challenge the “company line” that generates stimulating debate. I especially like the often skillful and insightful comments (lots of them). This site is involved in a bit of a dust-up over banning and deleting hard-core and vicious atheist comments. Bully for them!
By far the most informative video presentation that starts with the present and works back to the Big-Bang (scaling it to travel between Seattle’s Space Needle and the Empire State Building that provides great perspective) is by physicist and minister (Reasons to Believe) Hugh Ross. Of course he has a strong Christian bias and motivation, but his piece is a wonderful tutorial of the Cosmos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY5sjCGqsNg. As would be expected the long-knives from three sides are after him – cosmologists, materialist/atheist kooks and new-earthers – with equal venom. If you want a contrast to Ross’s Judeo-Christian-friendly presentation try the materialist version of Neil de Grass Tyson’s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzC3Lf9dQi8.
It really appears that the cosmology academy is “back in US the, back in the US, back in the USSR, you don’t know how lucky you are,” which figures, since some of their theories incorporate time travel. The commies required their physicists to hold to an infinite, steady-state Universe view to support their atheism.
Let’s check back in with our celebrity physicists, Professors Hawking and Krauss. Both appear to hold more than an unexceptional human view. They exhibit humanphobia. Hawking (Presidential Medal of Freedom winner Obama – 2009) has stated that humans are stupid, purely destructive in need of changed DNA to produce super-humans though foresees political problems from unimproved humans. Krauss is a bit kinder to us when stating that the most poetic thing in this Universe (his model is an infinite number) is a supernova, not humans. “Get over Jesus, stardust is what made you”, he giggles.
To place the state of cosmology into most readers’ wheelhouse, cosmolgists are comparable to Thomas Freidman because neither will ever accept “a one state solution” – (single-state Israel with 1973 borders or being satisfied with one known Universe).
Cosmologists (Big Bang to first cell) and Darwinian evolutionists (first cell to you) assert humanity has no purpose. Ah, but climatologists have found our purpose – destroying earth. To the rescue comes the stop-the-breeding group VHEMT with the moto “may we live long and die out” – the solution for environmental purity and man-made suffering. Obviously, a fringe-fringe movement, but is given a neutral explanation in Wikipedia (something that intelligent design doesn’t get http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/intelligent-design-and-human-exceptionalism?f=challenges) and has been referred to positively in the San Francisco Chronicle, Guardian and Salon to name three.
The scientific community is a major part of the Marxist/progressive army. They don’t allow dissent any more than their Democrat masters do. What these geniuses won’t figure out until it is too late, is that their grant gravy train is going to end as progressives finish off the economy. Debt will keep it afloat until it doesn’t http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/dont-look-down. That’s actually the good news. The bad news is they may end up cleaning camels under the Caliphate. Either way it doesn’t matter, their science sucks.
