Russian scientists certain of the existence of God

Interfax- Religion ^ | 06 October 2006, 11:06 | Interfax – Anatoly Akimov

[RunningWolf]

Moscow, October 6, Interfax – The existence of God has been proved by scientific methods, Academician Anatoly Akimov, director of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics, has stated.

‘There is God, and we can see the manifestations of His will. This is the opinion of many scientists; they not only believe in the Creator but rely on certain knowledge’, he said in an interview published by the Moskovsky komsomolets daily on Friday.

The scientist noted that in the past centuries very many physicists believed in God. Moreover, until Isaac Newton, there was no separation between science and religion; science was practiced by clergy as they were the most educated people. Newton himself studied theology and used to repeat: ‘I deduce laws of mechanics from laws of God’.

With your awesome testimony, you came to mind immediately!

Russian scientists certain of the existence of God

Committed materialists
or
Committed theists

These Russians just keep changing their minds!

[RussP]

The young scientist says "Look how clever how I am for discovering this!"

The old scientist says "Look how clever God was to have done this!"

Yes, you'd think that Watson and Crick *invented* the double helix, wouldn't you.

[RussP]

Wow! Great post!

Check out this from my homepage:

"This most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not have arisen without the design and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being." --Sir Isaac Newton, The Principia

Think about it: the greatest scientist who ever lived, Isaac Newton, saw *proof* of the intelligent design of the solar system -- yet modern evolutionists can find no *evidence* of intelligent design in the human body and mind. Someone is profoundly wrong here, folks ... and it isn't Isaac Newton!

[RunningWolf]

No they were always there, but their voices were silenced by the Lenin-Stalin powers (and/or they escaped).

I like your humor though!

That sir is the understatement of the year!

I will check out your homepage now.

Funny how science has deteriorated, isn't it?

[metmom]

Thanks.

There's lots of little odd comments the writers of Scripture put in like that. It's fascinating when you finally notice them.

"No they were always there, but their voices were silenced by the
Lenin-Stalin powers (and/or they escaped)."

Yes, I was joshing a bit.
I don't know about the scientist demographic...but I do recall reading
that Stalin was horrified when his operatives discretely took a gauge of
public opinion after a few decades of "workers' paradise".
It appeared that years of browbeating had just about a zero effect on
the average Russian's (Soviet) personal belief (or disbelief) in religion.

That was discussed in this book:

Hey great article on the '102. I don't think many people knew just what it took to fly the century series fighters from the '100 to the '105.

Back in 1992 I was taking flying lessons from a retired Air Force F-100 Lt. Colonel friend of mine. On my first flight with him he had me doing stall and spin recovery out in the Pacific over Half Moon Bay. I learned how to fly 'by the numbers' from him. He was a fantastic guy. He had also flown the F84 'talk about a lead sled' he said LOL.

The F-100 as several of the other century series aircraft were extremely critical on take off and landing, and if anything went wrong there it was pretty much over for you.

My 'plane of choice' would have been the F-105. Now that was the Cold War Warrior.

In a '102??? How about a 150 or a 152?

[RunningWolf]

You know, getting these links to new sources of information from FReeper's like you is one of the best things about the FR!

Thanks Again!

[RunningWolf]

No of course not, we were not in the '102. But it was a more advanced single engine-prop plane than the 150 or a 152.

As I recall neither of those planes had retracts and what we were flying did.

When one blinds themselves from looking for God when looking at God's wonders due to their strict belief in the god of science, it's no wonder they can't see God.

[Coyoteman]

I did stall/spin training not far from there about the same time in a 150/152 Aerobat. Great fun!

(I don't think I'd like to spin a '102. About six revs and you're a pancake!)

[RunningWolf]

Hey did you ever eat at the little fresh fish eatery there on Half Moon Bay? It looked like nothing at all but a tiny old hamburger stand, and was not to far from where the boats unloaded the catch, and they had the best fish dinner in the world!

I have some stories from those days. Like the time I was pitched off my Excalibur Sail Boat without a life vest on, and spent 7 minutes treading water in that cold Pacific before my partner could bring the boat back and get me in (thats another story, & not his fault)

"I often look to science for evidence of God. I fail to understand how someone can look at the Hubbel deep field photos of space and not see God's handiwork."

And amidst all that beauty, it is most likely we are unique.

I do not fathom the math to consider the probabilty!

[fabian]

thanks for the ping...it is amazing how all science points to God. It's just the darkside that works in our thoughts to try and make us doubt that.

[RunningWolf]

So true

Thanks for the insights. The darkside that works in our thoughts to try and make us doubt applies in most other areas also.

Take care,

W.

Our Christian churches are full of Russians who never gave up, who worshipped in secret and who kept the faith during all those dark years that they had to live under, and let's say it: it was a Godless, atheistic man-made philosophy called Communism. God will always save a remnant for Himself.
