Why does Christianity (and other faith-based groups) claim quantum mechanics backs up their religion?

September 29, 2009 - 1:21 am 18 Comments

I am a physics major and as of yet, I have seen nothing in quantum mechanics to either refute or justify Christianity. In a way, quantum mechanics is a jigsaw puzzle that physicists are trying to piece together and there are spaces still left empty. I’m hearing from some religious groups that these "spaces" are empty because only an act of God can be the explanation. However, couldn’t it be that the "space" is filled in with something like an undiscovered elementary particle or something? Or perhaps that part of quantum theory is just wrong? Why do various groups try to use quantum mechanics to either refute or justify God’s existence when it really seems to do neither?

FINALLY AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION ON HERE – THANK YOU!

I have seen the What The Bleep movie (have you?). I haven’t personally heard Xtians use QM/P to justify their version of reality. What I’ve heard is scientists saying that the mere fact that things you’d think would be provable are not provable, and that in itself brings into question the genesis of our universe and the force behind it. I think they answer the question of life with a question – that we’ll never know the answer to, but the inquiry is fascinating and we keep learning that we don’t know as much as we think we do. Reality is not as real and solid as we assume.

Hi

Fist time asker!

I read a booked called The Jigsaw Man and I cant seem to find a book that comes closes to it. The book is by Paul Britton and I did try and get into his follow up but it wasnt that great.

Are there any other real life crime (crime psychologist) books out there that anyone can recommend?

The Night Stalker: The Life & Crimes of Richard Ramirez – by Phillip Carlo
Helter Skelter – by Vincent Bugliosi
Depraved – by Harold Schechter

Hope you enjoy the suggestions!

Can someone tell me how to word my search of hospitals?

September 26, 2009 - 10:29 pm 4 Comments

I am trying to find a list of hospitals in tulsa oklahoma in the year 1968/1969. I can’t seem to figure out the wording needed to narrow my search to a list to look at.
I’m not real experienced with researching things on the internet, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

My suggestion is to call the Reference desk at the Tulsa Public Library and ask them to pull the phone directory for that year and give you the names and addresses of the hospitals.

The problem with using the internet is that hospitals have gone through massive transformation with mergers, sales, divestures and reincorporation over the last 30 years. Even if it’s the same building that it was in 1968, it may have changed its name 4 times. So go back to the 1968 directory and you’ll get the correct wording and spelling of the names. Then you can track their progression to today using the Oklahoma Dept of Public Health and http://www.smartpages.com to find the current contact information.

How could we be able to find the java file where a such word i search for exists on eclipse?

September 25, 2009 - 1:19 am 2 Comments

For example, in a java project I have created, I have segregated the files into different packages. But I forgot which .java file the phrase "Hello World" exists… I would want to go to the java file, but I do not know how to do that in Eclipse 3.4, if that is possible.

Is it possible to search for files containing specified words in a project using Eclipse 3.4? If it is, then how? Thanks in advance.

shortcut key : searching particular java class is
ctrl+shift+T

All short cut keys can be found with
cntrl+shift+L

will give you handy short cut keys

Hope this will work
Cheers:)

Will my jigsaw blade work on ceramic tile?

September 25, 2009 - 1:19 am 15 Comments

I am installing porcelain tile flooring and need to use a jigsaw to cut special cuts. The blade I have (recommended by the hardware store guy) isn’t working (its edge looks a little like sandpaper). The book I have said to use a tungsten carbide blade. If a jigsaw blade (the one that came with the saw) cuts metal, will it work for porcelain tile and make a decently clean cut? The edges will be covered with quarter-round shoe molding so it’s not vitally important, but would be nice.
PS: I have the jigsaw…I just need the actual blade. They are the little skinny ones…not the rotary ones…the ones with the saw are about 4-5" long each.
Also…I have a coping/hand saw. If I have to resort to that (holy manual labor) will it work?

The last few times I cut tile, I just paid the guy at Lowe’s to make the cuts. At $.50 a cut, it saved me a lot of money on tools and time! If you make a few marks on the bottom of the tile with a sharpee, he can get most of the cut done then you can use nippers to finish it up. Using a saw is the tough way to go; I have done it that way and I ended up sore with an hour invested in one lousy tile (but it was a beauty! It goes around a pipe and nobody can even see it).
If you go this route, take some earplugs; the saw he’s got cuts through tile like butter but makes one hell of a racket.

I been trying to find someone to answer my question about selling my completed jigsaw puzzles. This is a hobby of mine which I enjoy alot. I have put many puzzles together, framed them and given them as gifts,and they do make nice gifts. My question is, you think anyone would want to buy completed jigsaw puzzles that are framed in nice frames? I also try and add my own little touches to the puzzles. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks!

I think they would, i’ve seen other people selling them. You can take a look at http://www.etsy.com, http://www.ecrater.com, http://www.artfire.com just to name a few

Microsoft Word Question – is it possible to search for words from the file name?

September 20, 2009 - 10:26 pm 2 Comments

Hey all, not sure if this is possible so it is worth a shot to ask. Hope I can make this sound right.

Say you have a folder on your desk top full of Microsoft WORD files. Is there a way to search those files for a specific word or in my case s/n that has been entered in those documents without opening each file and searching individually?

Yes. Just right-click on the file, then select "Search."
