I can explain more of the ideas of the video, and they should be useful for your in your online discussions with naturalists/atheists. <br />I am a physicist by profession, and I think we know more than your 'don't knows' might suggest. <br />IanIan Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225626428359340605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-47269622080625865632013-06-09T09:35:00.266-07:002013-06-09T09:35:00.266-07:00I feel I should add more to my comment.

My minimalist comment was not meant to imply disapproval of your fine film.I have been thinking about some of the aspects of your film and reading about them for some time. In fact the idea that we don't know what subatomic particles really are made of. I've been researching that in m armature way and received a great deal of derision form atheists and science types for saying that. When push comes to shove they have no alternative. They just say "O we can't give you a full four year university education on this message board. God take some classes."<br /><br />I am grateful to you to see that your film confirms what I've been thinking on that score. The implication is that we don't know what it means to say "matter is solid." Nor do we really know what it means to speak of energy. The standard answer I get is "it's made of charges." what are charges made of? More charges!<br /><br />I am interested in your views on Swedenborg he's very interesting but I have some theological problems with him.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-21875648165335757432013-06-09T09:34:12.900-07:002013-06-09T09:34:12.900-07:00I find very much of value in what Swedenborg has w...I find very much of value in what Swedenborg has written, and (as interested in philosophy, theology and life) find many of his ideas useful for further rational development.Ian Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225626428359340605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-7818558920097904302013-06-09T09:29:32.657-07:002013-06-09T09:29:32.657-07:00Nice film.
