Re 159: The charge on the electron is one of the most fundamental things in nature. All other charges are just integral multiples of it. ..... Just ask a physicist.

Obviously, you are as ignorant of physics as you are of geology and evolution.

Ever heard of quarks? They have 1/3 charges.

And nobody, not even Jesus, had the slightest clue about electrons or atoms. Not the slightest clue about energy. Not the slightest clue about democracy.

What the heck does that have to do with the fact that fundamental physical quantities can't be different from what they are, or life would be impossible?

AFAIK, quarks never occur in an unbound state in ordinary matter--you know, what we evolved primates are made of? Anyway, you say the charge on a quark may not be an integral multiple of that on the electron, but it is 1/n, where n is an integer. It is not something like 3.2895038x 10^24 the charge on the electron. There is a very simple mathematical relationship.

Actually, Christianity is an excellent foundation for a free society, because Christians know that the things they value--virtue and love--cannot be coerced. Forcing people to "do good" is no credit to them. That's one reason why forced sharing--like government redistribution of wealth--is counter to Christianity.

I majored in one of those fields you mention. Again, you atheists are completely unable to avoid slurs, insults, flames, etc. I can remember the guys in grad school who got their kicks ridiculing fundamentalists. Funny thing: they weren't very nice to anyone else, either. Nor were they the ones who did real, creative, original work. They were hacks who regurgitated what they were told by the faculty. Very very few really great scientists are dogmatic, militant, mocking atheists.
