Off Topic » in reply to Any three points make a triangle. So what?

Interesting comments; thanks.

Three points DO NOT make a triagle IF they are in perfectly straight line compared to each other. :-)

1) I was under the impression that you had seen the Einstein's theory that indicates that mass and energy are convertible to each other trough the use of a constant which requires space in order to exist. Have you seen experiments where space (1), mass (2), and energy (3), do not coexist?

2) You say that: “There is absolutely no relation between science and the Christian religion, or any other religion–and I can prove it!” Then you say: “The Christian religion has been around for about two thousand years. Science based on observation and experiment is historically much more recent.”
Your statements only indicate that religious thought is much older that scientific thought. It does not *prove* that religious thoughts are in any way inferior to scientific thoughts, or that religious thoughts can not have scientific content.

About the concept of Trinity, you say: “The concept is not mentioned anywhere in scripture,”
It is true that the *word* is not mentioned, but the *concept* is generated in the beginning of the Bible.
“Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The word “heaven” has the scientific meaning of space, the word “earth” has the meaning of “mass” or “matter.” The third concept is energy which in Genesis is referred to as “light.”

In other words, the scripture says that all creation is made up of “heaven = 1, earth = 2, and light = 3,” Today scientists believe that mass (1) and energy (2) occupies all of space (3).

One thing I find interesting about the formal system of worship of God, with rules and regulations, rituals and scripture and ceremony, is that it has preserved very important books on history, thought and concepts that were present thousands of years ago.

You say: And just what IS sin, anyway?

I have not studied that aspect thoroughly, but I can form a quick opinion.

From my perspective of trying to unify scientific and religious concepts, I need to explain it in both *languages* so to speak:
From the religious view; I imagine that if you conduct your life according to the ten commandments then your chance of conducting a sin is minimal.

From the scientific perspective; If your actions increase entropy, then that is bad and can be considered as a sin.

It is a shame that there are so many ways to understand the meaning of words.
It seems to me that people can not understand, or they misunderstand the concepts that are being presented by various words and therefore their understanding of each other suffers.

Thanks again for your input.
