By God EvidenceThe question of whether there exists a Creator and Ruler of the Universe has been answered in the affirmative by some of the highest intellects that have ever existed. Nyc Summer Programs 2011. Charles Darwin, the founder of evolutionary biology, as cited in his book Descent of Man. As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our goal, we do not see the horizon in the distance tower still higher peaks, which will yield to those who ascend them still wider prospects, and deepen the feeling, the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science, that Great are the Works of the Lord. Sir Joseph J. Thomson, Nobel Prize winning physicist, discoverer of the electron. Thomson, who was a devout Christian, is recognized as the founder of atomic physics. A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world. Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., who received the 1. Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the first known binary pulsar, and for his work which supported the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe. Taylor is a devout Christian. The more I study science, the more I believe in God. Albert EinsteinThe Wall Street Journal, Dec 2. Jim Holt, Science Resurrects God. Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum mechanics. It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom. The universe is also weird, with its laws of nature that make it hospitable to the growth of mind. I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it passes beyond the scale of our comprehension. Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of Gods gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences. Mary Albertson Vista. You ask what is the meaning or purpose of life I can only answer with another question do you think we are wise enough to read Gods mindPhysicist Freeman Dyson. When Einstein died, there was an opening for the title of most brilliant physicist on the planet. Dyson filled the opening by assuming Einsteins professorship in physics at Princeton University. He is the winner of the 1. Wolf Prize in Physics, the 1. Enrico Fermi Award, the 1. Max Planck Medal, amongst many other awards. I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts the rest are details. Albert EinsteinFrom E. Salaman, A Talk With Einstein, The Listener. Jammer, p. 1. 23. God is the author of the universe, and the free establisher of the laws of motion. Physicist and chemist Robert Boyle, who is considered to be the founder of modern chemistry. Boyle was a devout Christian. One way to learn the mind of the Creator is to study His creation.

You ask what is the meaning or purpose of life I can only answer with another question do you think we are wise enough to read Gods mind. Trinity College Dublin Press. It may seem bizarre, but in my opinion science offers a surer path to God than religion. People take it for granted that the physical world is both ordered and intelligible. The underlying order in nature the laws of physics are simply accepted as given, as brute facts. Nobody asks where they came from at least they do not do so in polite company. However, even the most atheistic scientist accepts as an act of faith that the universe is not absurd, that there is a rational basis to physical existence manifested as law like order in nature that is at least partly comprehensible to us. So science can proceed only if the scientist adopts an essentially theological worldview. Physicist Paul Davies, the winner of the 2. Kelvin Medal issued by the Institute of Physics and the winner of the 2. Faraday Prize issued by the Royal Society amongst other awards, as cited in his book God and the New Physics first quote, and from his acceptance address of the 1. Templeton Prize second quote. Astronomers who do not draw theistic or deistic conclusions are becoming rare, and even the few dissenters hint that the tide is against them. Geoffrey Burbidge, of the University of California at San Diego, complains that his fellow astronomers are rushing off to join the First Church of Christ of the Big Bang. Astrophysicist Hugh Ross, former post doctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology and author of The Creator and the Cosmos How the Latest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God. Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact. Robert Jastrow, the astronomer and physicist who founded NASAs Goddard Institute of Space Studies. Please see Jastrows book God and the Astronomers for further reading. I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism. If you study science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God. Lord William Kelvin, who was noted for his theoretical work on thermodynamics, the concept of absolute zero and the Kelvin temperature scale based upon it. Kelvin was a devout Christian. The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who in their grudge against traditional religion as the opium of the masses cannot hear the music of the spheres. Albert Einstein. God created everything by number, weight and measure. In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of Gods existence. I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily. Sir Isaac Newton, who is widely regarded to have been the greatest scientist the world has ever produced. Newton was a devout Christian. Both religion and science require a belief in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations To the former He is the foundation, to the latter, the crown of the edifice of every generalized world view. There can never be any real opposition between religion and science for the one is the complement of the other. Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the religious element in his nature must be recognized and cultivated if all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect balance and harmony. Cetacea Wikipedia. Cetacea are a widely distributed and diverse clade of aquatic mammals that today consists of the whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Cetaceans are carnivorous and finned. Most species live in the sea, some in rivers. The name is derived from the Latincetus whale and Greekketos huge fish. There are around 8. Odontoceti or toothed whales, a group of more than 7. Mysticeti or baleen whales, of which there are now 1. The extinct ancestors of modern whales are the Archaeoceti. While cetaceans were historically thought to have descended from mesonychids, molecular evidence supports them as a relative of Artiodactyls even toed ungulates. Cetaceans belong to the order Cetartiodactyla formed by combining Cetacea Artiodactyla and their closest living relatives are hippopotamuses and other hoofed mammals camels, pigs, and ruminants, having diverged about 5. Cetaceans range in size from the 1 m 3 ft 3 in and 5. Mauis dolphin to the 2. Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism. They have streamlined bodies and two external limbs that are modified into flippers. Though not as flexible or agile as seals, cetaceans can swim very quickly, with the killer whale able to travel at 5. Dolphins are able to make very tight turns while swimming at high speeds. The hindlimbs of cetaceans are internal, and are thought to be vestigial. Baleen whales have short hairs on their mouth, unlike the toothed whales. Cetaceans have well developed sensestheir eyesight and hearing are adapted for both air and water, and baleen whales have a tactile system in their vibrissae. They have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin to maintain body heat in cold water. Some species are well adapted for diving to great depths. Although cetaceans are widespread, most species prefer the colder waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They spend their lives in the water, having to mate, give birth, molt or escape from predators, like killer whales, underwater. This has drastically affected their anatomy to be able to do so. They feed largely on fish and marine invertebrates but a few, like the killer whale, feed on large mammals and birds, such as penguins and seals. Some baleen whales mainly gray whales and right whales are specialised for feeding on benthic creatures. Male cetaceans typically mate with more than one female polygyny, although the degree of polygyny varies with the species. Cetaceans are not shown to have pair bonds. Male cetacean strategies for reproductive success vary between herding females, defending potential mates from other males, or whale song which attracts mates. Calves are typically born in the fall and winter months, and females bear almost all the responsibility for raising them. Mothers of some species fast and nurse their young for a relatively short period of time, which is more typical of baleen whales as their main food source invertebrates arent found in their breeding and calving grounds tropics. Cetaceans produce a number of vocalizations, notably the clicks and whistles of dolphins and the moaning songs of the humpback whale. The meat, blubber and oil of cetaceans have traditionally been used by indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Cetaceans have been depicted in various cultures worldwide. Dolphins are commonly kept in captivity and are even sometimes trained to perform tricks and tasks, other cetaceans arent as often kept in captivity with usually unsuccessful attempts. Cetaceans have been relentlessly hunted by commercial industries for their products, although this is now forbidden by international law. The baiji Chinese river dolphin has become Possibly Extinct in the past century, while the vaquita and Yangtze finless porpoise are ranked Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Besides hunting, cetaceans also face threats from accidental trapping, marine pollution, and ongoing climate change. Baleen whales and toothed whaleseditThe two parvorders, baleen whales Mysticeti and toothed whales Odontoceti, are thought to have diverged around thirty four million years ago. Baleen whales have bristles made of keratin instead of teeth. The bristles filter krill and other small invertebrates from seawater. Grey whales feed on bottom dwelling mollusks. Rorqualfamily balaenopterids use throat pleats to expand their mouths to take in food and sieve out the water. Balaenids right whales and bowhead whales have massive heads that can make up 4. Most mysticetes prefer the food rich colder waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, migrating to the Equator to give birth. During this process, they are capable of fasting for several months, relying on their fat reserves. The parvorder of Odontocetes the toothed whales include sperm whales, beaked whales, killer whales, dolphins and porpoises. They have conical teeth designed for catching fish or squid. A few, such as the killer whale, feed on mammals, such as pinnipeds and other whales. They have well developed senses their eyesight and hearing are adapted for both air and water, and they have advanced sonar capabilities using their melon. Their hearing is so well adapted for both air and water that some blind specimens can survive. Some species, such as sperm whales, are well adapted for diving to great depths. Several species of odontocetes show sexual dimorphism, in which the males differ from the females, usually for purposes of sexual display or aggression. Toothed whales feed largely on fish and marine invertebrates. AnatomyeditCetacean bodies are generally similar to that of fish, which can be attributed to their lifestyle and the habitat conditions. Their body is well adapted to their habitat, although they share essential characteristics with other higher mammals Eutheria. They have a streamlined shape, and their forelimbs are flippers. Almost all have a dorsal fin on their backs that can take on many forms depending on the species. A few species, such as the beluga whale, lack them. Both the flipper and the fin are for stabilization and steering in the water. The male genitals and mammary glands of females are sunken into the body. The body is wrapped in a thick layer of fat, known as blubber, used for thermal insulation and gives cetaceans their smooth, streamlined body shape. In larger species, it can reach a thickness up to half a meter 1. Sexual dimorphism evolved in many toothed whales. Sperm whales, narwhals, many members of the beaked whale family, several species of the porpoise family, killer whales, pilot whales, eastern spinner dolphins and northern right whale dolphins show this characteristic. Males in these species developed external features absent in females that are advantageous in combat or display. For example, male sperm whales are up to 6. They have a cartilaginous fluke at the end of their tails that is used for propulsion. The fluke is set horizontally on the body, unlike fish, which have vertical tails. Hind legs are not present in cetaceans, nor are any other external body attachments such as a pinna and hair. Whales have an elongated head, especially baleen whales, due to the wide overhanging jaw. Bowhead whale plates can be 4 metres 1. Their nostrils make up the blowhole, with one in toothed whales and two in baleen whales. The nostrils are located on top of the head above the eyes so that the rest of the body can remain submerged while surfacing for air.
