Scientists Can't Explain...

[Dr Adequate]

... all sorts of things, the big silly-billies.

Dreams are one of the few paranormal phenomena which scientists can't explain, but can't deny, either.

Scientists can't explain how humans can be so much more complicated than fruit flies, which have roughly half as many genes as humans.

Scientists can't explain singularities. That means they don't know how to explain the Big Bang.

Our world and the universe contain atoms and particles reacting very remarkable. They have characteristics scientists can't explain.

It is our MATERIAL way of thinking that makes things 'paranormal'. If we could think otherwise, thinking in terms of ENERGY, a whole new world would open. When you meet somebody, we speak of the first impression, but wouldn't it be better speaking of the first 'reception' or 'the first exchange of energy'.

As abundant as water is and as familiar as it is, it is amazing what scientists can't explain about it. Why does it have such properties of cohesion? Water has a very high surface tension though it is such a small molecule. Why? What causes ice to expand as it gets colder?

WHAT THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS KNEW... AND MODERN SCIENTISTS CAN'T EXPLAIN...

BIOGEOMETRY: THE EGYPTIAN SCIENCE OF ENERGY

BioGeometry is a science which uses shape, pattern, color, sound, and motion to create specific subtle energy fields. It is a remarkably well-rounded and universal system. Training in BioGeometry is now available in the US. Hundreds of students have learned how to

* Use simple methods to directly detect, measure, create and transform specific energies.

* Discern between a wide spectrum of energies with different effects.

* Apply the three essential subtle energies found in all spiritual power spots, in all human energy centers (such as acupuncture points and chakras), and which regulate the human immune system.

* Create energy emanations from buildings, ritual objects, and spiritual practices with the actual methods used in Ancient Egypt."

Western scientists can't explain nonlocality at all. Nor can they explain why so many people believe they have experienced extra-sensory perception (ESP)...

Homeopathy is a mystery. Scientists can't explain it, and neither can those who use it. But for more than 150 years, people have been saying it works. Should you give it a try?

I don't believe that sub-atomic particles make a choice or that's it's based on randomness or some such. Just because scientists can't explain/see what's really going on, that doesn't make it RANDOM, I think it's completely ridiculous of them to say so.

Just as scientists can't explain how an electron can move from one orbit to another without traveling inbetween, the Holy Spirit moves from one place to another in a manner that transcends time and space. No one understands how this happens, but it does! It happens all the time.

Scientists can't explain, replicate, and understand how a bee flies...yet it does....

HALF-HUMAN, HALF-ALIEN BABIES PUZZLE SCIENTISTS

ROME -- Baffled scientists can't explain why, but tests show an astonishing 1 in 4 babies conceived after April 9, 1999 and due to be born in the year 2,000 appear to be human-alien hybrids! That's up from just 1 in 100,000 last year -- a sharp rise some experts in the field call frightening.

(Mind you, this is from the Weekly World News, so they're just doing their job.)

Scientists can't explain exactly why the earth has endured ice ages and warm spells in the past.

CONSIDER OUR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. Scientists can't explain how THAT all came about either. They just want you to believe it.

"The second law of thermodynamics says, that left to itself (that means chance) any isolated system will go toward greater entropy, which also means towards greater randomization? End of quote. Now this is just a law of the universe. If you leave a system, or an organism, to itself to develop by chance, it won?t become more organized. It won?t develop. Rather, its organization will become more and more random. It will deteriorate. This fact is observable throughout the world.

Now it is true that scientists can't explain this great law any more than they can explain the law of gravity. No one knows why it is true, but its outworking is seen in every part of nature.

As Morris says: "Everything left to itself tends to grow old, and to run down and finally die." (Page 36). You see, although evolution is accepted by many people, it is still only a theory. Never in history has anybody ever observed evolution from kind to kind in action, in spite of claims to that effect. Supposed, yes; but observed, never. And now, with the discovery in recent years of the two laws of thermodynamics , we find the whole concept of evolution is flatly contradicted by known and established laws of the universe.

It makes you think, doesn't it? It makes you wonder what Darwin and his associates might have written if they had lived a hundred years later, and not in the day of scientific infancy.

(This guy is well worth a look. He attributes snowflakes to intelligent design. Really.)

Science as it's usually practiced is too narrow. At any given time, science works within a paradigm or model. Things that don't fit in are anomalies. There are a lot of things that scientists can't explain, and I believe we can learn the most by studying them.

Sheldrake explained how his concept of morphic fields is that nature is organized in series of levels, in which higher levels incorporate lower levels. There are organizing fields for everything we observe. There are crystal fields for crystals, tissue fields for tissue, society fields for society. Sheldrake explained,

These fields evolve in time, and have a kind of memory.

Thanx for recommending the book! So nice of you! I haven't read it yet, but I surely will! As for the Dead Sea scrolls, I've read a bit about these as well. Conventional science holds that these scrolls were written by members of a Jewish sect, who went away to live in the desert and practice their faith. To me, the content of these scrolls sounds very different from the dogmas of Judaism, and I don't really know how could these people, if they were Judaists originally, develop something so totally unlike Jewish teachings. To me, it sounds more like Buddhism or that sort of thing. So, maybe the theory of Atlantis has some truth in it! Anyways, there are loads of things modern scientists can't explain satisfactory, although they're sure they can... [Wink]

(The book she's referring to: The Law Of One (TM) and the Lost Teachings of Atlantis)

The x-ray is the kind of discovery that scientists can't explain in 'logical' terms and the discovery seems to be applied rather than thougth about.

And if there was nothing but difference with no connection, then we'd all just be a swarm of autonomous pleasure maximizers, devouring each other until there would only be one left, with nothing to love. That's called the "survival of the fittest." And, by the way, the fittest would not be living, for life itself is a community: oxygen, nitrogen, cells, hair, fingers . . . all in community. Scientists can't explain why. They can explain death, but not life... think that's why homosexuality grieves God so. It's a deep loathing of diversity..."

(He doesn't explain why he feels that cannibalism would maximise his pleasure. A lot of fundie apologists seem to be psychopaths restrained only by their doubts about evolution. This is scary.)

Scientists can't explain for sure what causes a black hole in space but they know they exist because they can detect them.

Faith helps to explain things that scientists cannot. For example: miracles; scientists can't explain that, but faith can.

There are countless more reported sightings than I have written of here, but they all bear a striking resemblance to one another. Something is out there, no one has ever gotten a good look at it, scientists can't explain it or explain it away. So what is it, and why does it fascinate us so? It has been 70 years since the 1933 sighting of the creature reported by Mr. and Mrs. Macky, yet there is still no explanation of not only what may actually be lurking in the waters of the Loch, but how whatever it may be manages to elude sonar, underwater cameras, nets and countless people watching from boats, the shore and on the remote cameras whose images are seen all over the world, each hoping to be the person to finally get irrefutable proof that Nessie exists.

Energy can't be destroyed! it transfers from one form to another.

Human energy our soul transforms into another form of energy after death that scientists can't explain, therfore there is a heaven and a god.

Atheists are depressed people who are living a life of no purpose."

Exercise enhances your mood. Scientists can't explain how or why it does this, but there's no question it does.

Everything that now is can only be traced back to the time of Noah's flood. Scientists try to tell us that the whole of our middle western farm area is the result of great glaciers that brought all that wonderful topsoil down as far as central Missouri, where the ice began to recede. That sounds like a "logical" explanation. But there are a lot of things that those scientists don't tell us. Most of you are aware that glaciers are made up of snow and ice, but there is only one way that they can move - by gravity. How then, can glaciers that began in Canada have traversed elevations of over 2,000 feet, in order to wind up in the midwest? They have no answer for that. We also know that glaciers can grind to powder, the great rocks of granite over which they pass, so how can we still find in those same areas fossils which are intact when they are much more fragile? They weren't destroyed in the glacial move. And the scientists can't explain that either.

When you look at the earth now, know that this is the way God prepared it when the waters left the earth. He laid down the farm lands, the coal beds, the oil pools, the gas pools, the rivers, the canyons - all these things came on the scene when the flood waters began to leave. The next time you go to the Grand Canyon, ask one of the guides "How much deeper is the canyon now than it was when it was first discovered?" He'll have to say that it's not much deeper now than then - maybe an inch or so. It hasn't really gotten much deeper. But why not? If it was cut by wind and water erosion, why isn't it still being cut?

Why do people like Mr. Ib-Shamiq make such statements when there is no real basis for evolution? Scientists are constantly finding out that the evolution theory is wrong. If man came from an ape, why are there still apes today? How can so many animals of different species live in the parts of the world they do and be a result of evolution?

There was no big bang and an amoeba didn't grow into a fish that climbed out on land and developed legs and started to walk upright, became an ape, then a man...because of some made-up theory of evolution.

Charles Darwin must have been on drugs when he came up with this theory. Just looking at the above tells you this couldn't have happened. Scientists can't explain where the big-bang theory came from, since they say there was nothing out there...

And then there is the world itself. Scientists can't explain the world around us and all the laws that keep it going, but it's there.

("The world around us". Just one of the many things that scientists can't explain. Arrgh.)

Despite three years of Pfiesteria outbreaks in neighbouring North Carolina, and its spread this summer to Maryland and Virginia, scientists can't explain what's happening.

Some area residents blame pollution, primarily chemical runoff from huge poultry operations. Area farmers say they're willing to comply with new anti-pollution controls, but only if a definite link is established between their operations and dead fish...

During the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy the world will go through terrible times. As God judges the earth there will be widespread disease, plagues, and famines. This could be a foretaste of that time. This is a terrible microbe that not only hurts the fish but also humans who consume the fish as part of their diet. God is already beginning to judge the world.

You're making my head hurt

 

[SpaceFluffer]

Hmph...with all those things we can't explain, I guess we should give up now.

I'm off to sit naked in a field and bang some rocks together...

You should never type "scientists can't explain" into Google.

It's like opening Pandora's Box, if Pandora's box were filled with stupid.

Amazing! A whole smorgasbord of what scientists can't explain, and not a single dish of bumblebees.

The eleventh quote down. Sorry.

[/size]

Buh Hu! Why would that matter? That is precisely what science is all about, not knowing, but trying to find out. And, for the record, we quite well know that number of genes has no effect on intelligence. YOU might think that Drosophila Melanogaster is less complex then a human, boy, are you wrong!

[edit for latin spelling]

 

[Anders]

The eleventh quote down. Sorry.

Well, Dr Adequate, I believe Science still know how a Bumblebee flies, last time I checked anyway.

 

[Psi Baba]

When will you realize that You not being able to understand something is NOT the same thing as scientists not being able to explain it?

Ach! I did a page find for "bumble," and that quote only refers to "bees." Needless to say, I wasn't going to read all that stuff. Well, leave it to the author of that quote to not even get his myth-peddled-as-fact correct in terms of the content of the myth.

"The second law of thermodynamics says, that left to itself ... any <font size=36>isolated</font> system will go toward greater entropy...

(emphasis mine)

You may ignore anything that comes after this which attempts to apply the law to a non-isolated system such as the earth's biosphere.

Thanks, Ashles. I had to wipe the coffee off my monitor after that one.

Phildonnia.

Your links don't work for me.

I'm curious about water.

Hmmm.... having read all that, I've decided that I'm off to play Counterstrike online and shoot some people.

Ugh, I just bought that. What a waste of money. I already had "Day of defeat", which I quickly realized was much superior.

The last thing scientists can't explain is how the author(s) of this crap make it through the day without regularly bumping into the walls and rendering themselves unconscious.

Conversation I had with a guy on this very subject (and yes, it was this surreal):

Him: Science doesn't know how bumble-bees fly!
Me: [pause] Bumble-bees don't fly anyway.
Him: ??? Yes they do!
Me: Then scientists do know. Otherwise they wouldn't fly.
Him: But they don't know...
Me: Well then, they don't fly if scientists don't know how.
Him: ???! But they DO fly!
Me: Then scientists do know. Make up your mind.
Him: But they do fly and scientists don't know why.
Me: What makes you think scientists, those people who design extraordinary jets carrying hundreds of people thousands of kilometres, and intricate spacecraft that roam the solar system, haven't discovered by now something simple like how bumble-bees fly?
Him:.................................Scientists don't know how cockroaches survive a nuclear blasts!

 

[Batman Jr.]

Scientists don't know whether or not people turn into robots for five seconds at some point in their lives only when no one is examining them. They also can't explain timecube.

Apologies for the derail.

I've been trying to get on DoD for 6 friggin' weeks now. Everytime I get a replacement copy of Half Life, I'm told my CD-key is a duplicate. Any suggestions for someone on a very tight budget?
