But, but… order can’t come from chaos…

Researchers’ discovery of self-organized electromagnetic fields in counter-streaming ionized gases is paving the way for scientists to have new ways to explore how order can emerge from chaos in the universe.

“We’ve created a model for exploring how electromagnetic fields help organize ionized gas or plasma in astrophysical settings, such as in the plasma flows that emerge from young stars,” said lead author Nathan Kugland, a postdoctoral researcher in the High Energy Density Science Group at LLNL.

I know that this will upset some, but this is interesting. All sorts of theological possibilities here.

    as usual secular scientists proclaim a conclusion before they have demonstrated that they are correct.

    • ahhhh… yes, so you don’t know how to read, nor how science works. I am unsure as to why you feel you must continue to proclaim your ignorance every time you comment.

        i do know how to read and I do know how secular science works and it is wrong, just like you. You rush to take science over God’s word and it undermines everything you say. You say you are a christian and that Jesus lived, died and resurrected so man can have salvation. Yet science cannot prove Jesus lived, that he died or that he rose again yet you accept those passages of scripture because it gives you some type of hope or benefits you.

        BUT you reject other passages of scripture because science can’t produce any evidence for them either. Your cherry picking, hypocrisy and belief in science over God’s word destroy you.

        • Actually, I reject nothing of Scripture, but take it all. I do, however, reject a mortal’s interpretation.

          Now, I understand you do not know how science works, what the business of historians are, and the such, but you really need to pick up some basic rules of logic. To conflate as you have done is to present a fallacy. To argue a fallacy is to get into an argument with a wall.

          I would suggest, Dave, that either you stop being an idiot, or feel free never to comment on my blog again.

          As you are nothing more than a prattling pretender, you are now considered banned.

    I don’t think theologically, so the possibilities escape me. Can you share one or two with me?
