Ugh, I hate to comment on something so old but I feel this needs clarification. Star_Stuff is correct, gravity is the weakest force of the four (in order of strong to weak it goes strong, electromagnetic, weak, gravity). She or he just didn't go far enough into the explanation. The ruling force depends on distance.The strong force is the strongest but has very limited range while gravity is weaker but has a far greater range. Looking at the atomic level the strong force is dominant but looking at the cosmological level gravity wins out because the strong force doesn't have the range to affect things like galaxies, stars, etc. Though I suppose you could consider the strong force to be the ultimately dominant force because when it comes down to it the larger objects would not be possible if the strong force couldn't hold protons together in a nucleus.   See 11 other replies

That's actually kind of funny, I had no idea that there was a real Professor Faust. I took the name "Prof. Faust" from a story I am rather fond of: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe%27s_Faust>   See 5 other replies

Interesting how everyone forgets that what Darwin said is that we are 'most like monkeys"after all we most certainly are not more similar to reptiles,birds,tigers or anything else on the planet. although I will admit that some people I've met do seem more like vegtables or minerals.   See 5 other replies

I don't see any reason the two sides can't co-exist. Perhaps the "book"describes a time of darkness, then in the blink of an eye there was light, and everything that exists came into being. Hasn't science shown us that the bible is a historicle text. That smoeone decided that we needed to record history. Perhaps the people didn't know how to explain the things they saw. And perhaps science can no longer accept the idea that there's a little old man floating arround in the sky that has nothing better to do than grant our wishes. Jesus nor Moses either one believed in building temples paying tything or holding one person as better than the other, and they both believed in seeking knowledge above all else. So it's time to climb out of our temples and praying to apease god, because we fear his rath. and start embracing knowledge.   See 21 other replies
