Perfect understanding of what?

When you split the atoms you are releasing the energy which is part of the atom. The atoms are not destroyed they are transformed and the energy from joining the atoms together is released. "First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another." Please note the use of Law indicating this considered a scientific fact versus a theory which is and educated guess.

An atomic bomb derives its energy from the splitting of the U-235 or Pu-239 atoms. During fission, these atoms split into smaller atoms. For example, when the U-235 atom splits, it becomes Krypton-92 and Barium-141 and two free neutrons. The resulting total mass is less than the mass of the original U-235 atom. The lost mass has been converted to energy and is governed by Einstein’s equation, E=M*C^2.....and that energy is the explosive power in an atomic bomb. Similar idea for a fusion bomb....there is still a loss of mass when two hydrogen atoms are fused into a helium atom that is converted to energy.

To teach creationism in the form of the Big Bang requires faith, not fact. To teach creationism of God requires faith, not fact. So why is one prohibited in classrooms?
|
No, Ken, like I said, the Big Bang theory requires observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and theorizing. And with all that, the understanding that it is a theory and parts of it or the whole thing could change with new discoveries, technologies, hypotheses, etc. That's the wonders of science, Ken....you, observe, hypothesize, experiment, and theorize....with the understanding that you may not have the whole picture....and that future discoveries may drastically affect current ideas.

Darwinism is a fine theory, but it cannot explain life.

Well, it doesn't really explain how life began.

Of course for all we know evolution is God's way of allowing for his creation to adapt without constant micromanaging. Science and religon are not mutally exclusive, except in our government schools that force kids to learn that religon is a myth by excluding it from education.

First of all, Ken, why does excluding it make it seen as a myth? Faith is a very personal thing and there are many different kinds of faiths and beliefs...even inside Christianity alone. So, isn't the best way to placate everyone is just to leave it out of the public forum and let everyone pursue it in their own personal way? Teaching any religious faith or belief as a myth would also be a violation of the Separation of Church and State. And, second, so you want to include faith-based teaching in public schools...OK, whose faith do we teach?
