Ed, why could no matter exist if the change in entropy could not equal zero?If the change in entropy could not equal zero, no matter could exist. Matter actually exists in the real world, so the change in entropy can equal zero.The equation is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, AKA, real life physics.Wrong! The change in entropy can clearly equal zero, as the equation shows that entropy can be positive or zero, but entropy cannot be negative.Entropy can never go to zero; it has lower boundaries, at least in real science. See Buscemi, Das, and Wilde on that.
Uh .. no, it can't in real life; equations aren't real physics; math is an abstract language, not scientific fact. No surprise you can't make the distinction between abstraction and basic physics.
the equation is a descriptive, not a scientific fact. Nothing can go to zero, it can only approach limits. The 'zero' in the equation is just a plug in, not anything actually ever achievable in reality. That is real life physics.
More likely YOU don't understand it.Could it be that Ed doesn't know howto use the equation?
Stay focused Ed, we are discussing the universe.More likely YOU don't understand it.Could it be that Ed doesn't know howto use the equation?
What would happen if the entropy of a stable atom could not equal zero???
I liked it better when you said I was "money" flinging poo.Ed, why could no matter exist if the change in entropy could not equal zero?If the change in entropy could not equal zero, no matter could exist.

And please don't say because matter exists in the real world like a talking monkey flinging his poo.

If the entropy of a stable atom was a positive amount, then the electron orbiting the nucleus would lose speed/energy and would not be able to maintain its orbit and would split the atom preventing atomic matter from existing.

So tell me, what is the change in entropy over time of the electrons orbiting a stable atom if not zero????I liked it better when you said I was "money" flinging poo.Ed, why could no matter exist if the change in entropy could not equal zero?If the change in entropy could not equal zero, no matter could exist.

lol lol lol Ed now explains atomic theory. lol lol lol
That answer is a testament to your complete ignorance of science.If the change in entropy could not equal zero, no matter could exist.

Really, Ed? You should publish on that; it's a guaranteed Nobel Prize for you.
Do you even know what entropy is, Ed?When it is not a positive number. DUH!When does entropy equal zero?Hey pinhead, that was satire! Your STUPID question didn't deserve a serious answer, but nice guy that I am I followed the joke answer with a serious one anyway knowing it would go over your pinhead.No. It wasn't yesterday. Try again? Your poo missed the mark.Yesterday!And when would that be?
If entropy in nature could not equal zero, no matter could exist!
Does matter exist???
Now try to argue the real answer that followed. Oh that's right, you can't, which is why you chose to harp on the humor
No. I decided you were dishonest.I can do anything I want. I don't need you to get my message out. You have been weighed and measured and found to be lacking.Doesn't matter anymore. You've proven your true character.Where have I ever indicated such a thing? Do you think you are arguing with someone else?
You make a claim that I believe something, I ask when I've ever said something like that, and you just blithely pass it right by. You might want to consider your own character, when you both refuse to give definitions for terms you use and refuse to explain why you think I believe something I've never said or hinted at.![]()
Good for you. Did you decide I was telling you you could not do something? Do you often feel as if people are telling you you cannot do things?
Need a cookie?![]()
No. You are dishonest in that you deny that intelligence/consciousness is the most complex and advanced thing the universe has created.No. I decided you were dishonest.I can do anything I want. I don't need you to get my message out. You have been weighed and measured and found to be lacking.Doesn't matter anymore. You've proven your true character.

If it helps you see him that way.
Why would that even matter to you at this stage?If it helps you see him that way.
The point is that even if there is a god who created the universe, it doesn't mean there is a Christian god, a son of God named Jesus Christ, or a heaven where you go when you die.
In fact, it is almost certain that there isn't a Christian god, if you take your argument to its logical conclusion, since the creation of the universe as you stated is nothing like the creation of the universe in the Bible.
Why would that even matter to you at this stage?
Are you seriously suggesting that you need to know who God is before you can accept that there is a Creator?
Seems a little disingenuous to me. Almost like you want to skip the part you are uncomfortable with and jump to the part you are comfortable with. You won't fare any better in that argument but I couldn't even begin to have that discussion with you until you at least believed there was a Creator, Spinozaian or otherwise. It would be illogical. Think about it. How could you be genuine in your argument of one God over another when you believed in neither.
I love science and when I began my journey I couldn't help but see the connection between the two. What you are really asking me is can I be objective about science while having religious beliefs. Yes, it isn't hard to be objective. In fact, that is one of the central teachings of all religions. Most people just don't know this. To see reality you have to die to self. Which is why it is so much easier to see reality about things we have no vested interest in. Being objective has rewards.Why would that even matter to you at this stage?

The question is, are you really interested in science or instead are you attempting to reinforce your specific religious views?
Because most Christians who attack science and the origins of the universe do so by juxtaposing the scientific argument with the Christian religion. IOW by attacking science, they attempt to reinforce Christianity as an alternative explanation for the origins of the universe.
This, of course, is a logical fallacy and false comparison.
his logic is soundNo. You are dishonest in that you deny that intelligence/consciousness is the most complex and advanced thing the universe has created.No. I decided you were dishonest.I can do anything I want.

Your argument is that since we don't know everything that exists you can't say that it is.
I guess you will never be able to understand the purpose of the universe until you know everything about the universe. That's very convenient for you to ignore everything we do know.
This is just one example of your dishonesty, bro.
And ignore what you do know?his logic is soundNo. You are dishonest in that you deny that intelligence/consciousness is the most complex and advanced thing the universe has created.No. I decided you were dishonest.I can do anything I want.

the dunderhead logic is to make proclamations about what you dont know...thats literal fucking stupidity and why your intellect, trolling or not, is straight trashbags
