So it isn’t the evidence you were asked for. Ahem: https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/sciam3.pdf Its already starting strange... CP is one of those things that is so sacred its not even on the table to be looked at, even if that is the place science took a wrong turn (which is my opinion).

"because fred, if we arent random its possible were in a special place, and you know what that means" "oh i see, well cant we just get rid of the big bang bob"? "thats what were working on now fred" These are discussions that are happening today, bob and fred arent real people btw By what they are saying it is safe to assume that they are completely clueless.

Sorry koti, just saw this. By definition, you (the observer) are at the center of your observable universe so I guess Earth kinda is in the center of the Observable Universe as we know it. Of course not the actual universe.

Im sory but no. Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun in our solar system which is placed on the edge of the milky way galaxy which is not in the center ot the universe. Unless you want to state that every point in space is at the center of the universe this is not true.

No, that is not where your "conversation" came from, so I still think you made it up. 2. That article is about inflation; I struggle to see the relevance to either a creator or the Copernican principle. Perhaps you could explain. why you think it is. 3. It is about a widely accepted idea being discussed and challenged by scientists, which rather goes against your religious belief that this doesn't happen. Look up the Copernican principle on Wikipedia. It points out that (a) it is a "working assumption" (which means it very much not the same as The Truth) and (b) it has been tested and there are suggestions of other ways of testing it. Why would people be testing an idea if they were so "scared" it might turn out to be wrong.If scientists found evidence that the universe was created or that the Earth is at some special place, then the overall reaction would be "Wow!" (and Nobel Prizes all round). Basically, it looks like you are trying to invent some sort of martyrdom to make your religion more authentic sounding. No one is buying into your faith. You need to try harder. Or stick to science.

But first science would rather chop at the big bang and what kind of variations they can come up with before messing with the CP, which is a mistake imo. You keep thinking i am some sort of religous person, i came to this conclusion based on what we see in the sky and earths bewildering history. Not one ounce of "evidence" from the bible or other religious text has me convinced we were created. You are like, the troll of the century actually. -2

Nobody cares about your feelings or beliefs. If you want people to take you seriously, you need to present some evidence. You are unable to do that and so your beliefs can be dismissed as baseless. 12 minutes ago, Scotty99 said: Here is the problem with scientific thinking minds, and why we could never see eye to eye.

That is not a problem with scientific thinking (after all, it has been shown to work). It is a problem with you (and other religious people) who think their guesses are as valid as objective evidence.

If it wasnt for the things ive found in the past two years about the universe i likely would continue to be a nonbeliever as i once was, just like you.

It took me 2+ years to come to the conclusion i have. Scotty, consider the following: I have been contemplating the meaning of life, the origin of the universe, the role of humanity, and the like for half a century. It has taken a major effort to determine what is relevant and what is not and assemble it into a cohesive whole. With that work complete it is apparent that by adopting methdological naturalism, humanity has obscured the importance and reality of teleology in the emergence first of structure, then of life and finally intelligence and self awareness. The source of the guidance and direction of evolution, in the general and the biological sense, I have determined to be recursive action by what humanity will become, influencing the universe from its very earliest moments. Faced with that statement would you not be inclined to ask for evidence? If the author of the statement replied the evidence was too much for this place, what would your reaction be? The rational reaction would be to say, "Fine. Thank you very much. If you ever change your mind let me know." Edited February 13, 2018 by Area54

Again ive made that thread here before, it devolves into nonsense because people agree to disagree on what the history ACTUALLY says. This isnt a black and white issue as it takes TIME to sort these things out when researching such difficult topics. If people are genuinely curious and have no idea what im talking about you would need to go back to galileo as a starting point of where i feel the discourse began. 10 minutes ago, Area54 said: Scotty, consider the following: I have been contemplating the meaning of life, the origin of the universe, the role of humanity, and the like for half a century.

Nonsense. But you have a history of misrepresenting things. For example, when told that GR can't disprove egocentrism you go on to claim that GR supports your beliefs. I have no idea what aspects of history you are misrepresenting but I have about as much trust in your grasp on history as your grasp of science or logic (i.e. none). 3 minutes ago, Scotty99 said: If people are genuinely curious and have no idea what im talking about you would need to go back to galileo as a starting point of where i feel the discourse began.

If I understand you correctly you have made that argument before and others disagreed with the accuracy of your evidence. So this time you've decided to present your argument without the evidence in order to avoid controversy. How's that working out for you? 1
