God and Science - Oil and Water?

In a couple replies on an atheist website (for which I am the theist contributor), I find myself telling participants that we must use the scientific method correctly. In other words, the scientific method is a great tool to understanding the world around us, but it is horrible in regards to learning about God. Unfortunately, we live in a society where perception has an uncharacteristic trump card over philosophy and proclamation of religious faith. Many believe that the only way to perceive the world around them is with the five senses. Yet, I tell you that no one has ever seen a thought. No one has ever seen a feeling and we still believe them to exist (no, seeing neuron activity doesnt count). Scientific method cant explain existential meanings. Individuals try to use scientific method to learn more about faith and God. I will tell you right now that if you are waiting to physically see, touch, smell, taste, or hear God, He will never be revealed to you.

The skeptic will say, Why not use the scientific method? The scientific method teaches us about everything we know. It is the ultimate tool for knowledge. Well, there are a variety of reasons. Consider that God exists outside of the physical world that we know; He is outside of time. This is a hard concept to grasp for many, but you actually deal with this concept all the time. For instance, you can physically take three apples away from a pile of five. However, it is not possible or comprehendible for one to take five apples away from a pile of three.

How do we solve this dilemma? We make the problem part of the answer [3-5, 2-4, 1-3, 0-2], and therefore our answer becomes negative two (-2). Negative numbers dont exist, they are imaginary - but they help people such as engineers solve very real problems every single day. This analogy explains the reason why God was never created (I really hate when people ask this clich question). First, this statement assumes that God was created. However, if we perceive of God as outside of the three-dimensional world that we know, then such a question cannot apply. If God is a being that is unlimited and infinite in time (outside time), and if He has access to every piece of time as if it were now, the question of who created God is an invalid question. The question is like asking someone to draw a four-sided triangle - the terminology is self-contradictory. God exists outside of time and space, and if He is the Creator of time and space, He obviously was not created.

Infinite Can be a difficult concept for people to understand. Consider what world renowned religious scholar Huston Smith has to say on the subject:

Think of infinite not just in space, but in worth. When we think about infinite now, it has been pretty much co-opted by science. We think about infinite space or infinite numbers. Well, those are scientific terms. But what about infinite value? Frankly, I believe that reality holds as much in the way of worth beyond what we are able to see with our ordinary experience, as it holds in quantity and size beyond what our naked senses can fathom.

That being said, back to my analysis of the scientific method.

What the scientific method can do is give immense support for God. If you are familiar at all with astronomical constants, you will see that the slightest change in any of the very delicate variables would mean life as we know it would not exist. These constants exist all over the universe. For instance, if the tilt of the earth were just a few degrees one way or the other, climates would be too extreme. If Jupiter were further from the Earth, and not as big, then it wouldnt suck in the great number of asteroids and comets that would otherwise crash into the Earth. If the ratio of protons to electrons formation was less, electromagnetism would dominate gravity which would prevent galaxy, star, and planet formation.

If you want to use some of the tenets from the scientific method in regards to God and religion, you sort of can. One driving force behind the scientific method is multiple tests of a particular phenomenon. Scientists will test over and over in order to develop explanations. This facet of the method can be applied to God (religion). Since the beginning of time, man has always had the notion that there is something greater than himself. If one looks at the prominence of religion and how it has re-occurred time and time again, the most intelligent of individuals familiar with the scientific method will admit that it is very possible we are on to something. Similar and re-occurring results increase likelihood and probability. Again, before anyone begins to waste countless minutes in trying to rebuttal this correlation of religion to the scientific method, know that this is a loose utilization. I should also note that this very concept is explained in great detail (and more effectively) by Huston Smith.

In the end, we need to stop trying to apply God to our limited view of how the creation operates doing so is really a dis-service to both religion and science.

Turn Hair Loss Into Healthy Hair Naturally

One study that was done in Australia showed the prevalence of mid-frontal hair loss increases as people age and affects 57% of women and 73.5% of men aged 80 years and over. The normal cycle of typical hair growth lasts from two to six years. A bit of trivia- the word bald derives from the English word balde, which means white or pale, or the Celtic word - ball, which means a white patch or blaze, as on a horse's head.

Some fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children which is easily treated with anti-fungal medicines. In the past it was believed that baldness was inherited from the maternal grandfather; while there is some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring's likelihood of hair loss. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so it can be treated properly and fast.

Hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, like lupus or diabetes and hypothyroidism can cause hair loss, especially thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows. Traumas due to chemotherapy, childbirth, major surgery, poisoning, and severe stress may cause a condition known as telogen effluvium.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as "spot baldness" that can result in hair loss ranging from just one area on the body to every hair on the entire body. If a medicine is causing your loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine or you may find you really don't need the medicine after all. Poor digestion, parasites and nutrient deficiencies like an iron or biotin deficiency shouldn't be overlooked as possible causes.

Minoxidil is a drug that is used daily to prevent hair loss but may create heart problems; the hair it grows is very fine, only on the top of the head and may fall out again soon after the drug is discontinued. There are hundreds of hair loss products on the market today used as remedies and treatments. There are many natural home remedies and all sorts of recipes for making mixtures to apply topically to the scalp.

Surgery is another method of reversing hair loss and baldness, although it is considered an extreme measure. Topical application of Ketoconazole, which is both an anti-fungal and a potent 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, is often used as a supplement to other medical approaches. Minoxidil is available without a prescription and is for topical application only, but one needs to consider the side effects.

Products for hair loss include: shampoos, shampoos with conditioners, conditioners, lotions, creams, concealers, thinning hair shampoos, laser combs, laser brushes, the Lasertron Hair Growth Brush, herbal-based products, chemical- based pills or tablets, Nizoral shampoo, Neutrogena T-Gel, and many others. Studies done on subjects of various adult ages suggests that weight training alone may increase testosterone in studies where aerobic exercise only was compared to either weight training or a moderately sedentary life. Propecia (Finasteride) and Minoxidil (Rogaine in the U.S and elsewhere as Regaine) are drugs that have reported having shown some success in partially reversing loss but one needs to consider the negative side effects and long term usage.

Massage the scalp nightly with an oil mixture made of one part rosemary oil and two parts almond oil. Make sure to test all remedies on a small area first and check with your doctor or skin doctor before trying any natural home remedy if it includes any irritating ingredients. You can try lying on a slant board with head down for 15 minutes a day, but clear it with your doctor first.

The Russian cure with honey and vodka remedy - combine one tablespoon honey with one jigger of vodka and the juice of a medium-size onion; rub mixture into the scalp every night, cover with a cap and shampoo in the morning. Polygonum Multiflorum is a traditional Chinese cure for hair loss; whether the plant itself is useful, the general safety and quality control of herbs imported from China can be very questionable these days. Vodka and cayenne remedy for hair loss - mix one jigger of vodka with a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (test on skin first for sensitivity) and rub it on the scalp; blood rushes to the hair follicles stimulated by the vodka and cayenne pepper - but be careful if you try it.

The olive oil and rosemary remedy for hair loss - use equal amounts of olive oil and oil of rosemary; combine them in a bottle, shake vigorously, massage into the scalp, put on a cap, go to bed and shampoo in the morning. The raw onion remedy - take half a raw onion and massage the scalp with it; cover the head overnight, shampoo and rinse in the morning. Resveratrol, from the skin of grapes, is a lipase inhibitor and by decreasing the body's ability to absorb fat through the intestine walls, it reduces the total fat and calorie content of a person's diet.

Circulation to the scalp is of utmost importance. Saw Palmetto is an herbal DHT inhibitor often claimed to be cheaper and have far fewer side effects than finasteride and dutasteride; unlike other 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, saw palmetto induces its effects without interfering with the cellular capacity to secrete protein specific antigen (PSA). Apple cider vinegar used as a hair rinse may also stimulate hair growth.

Keep in mind that hair loss should be continually treated, preferably naturally however, even after the loss stops. Sometimes it will indicate a disease or condition that hadn't been recognized or diagnosed before. If you experience any form of hair loss that causes you concern, make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist to discuss the treatment options available to you for your particular condition.

Causes of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can be caused by any number of factors in a persons life or by many factors all adding together. However, the hard truth is that if you dont control your blood pressure, it can lead to many serious medical conditions, including heart attack and stroke. By understanding the causes of high blood pressure, you can learn how to prevent your levels from exceeding the normal range and therefore promote in yourself and your family a healthier overall lifestyle.

One of the major causes of high blood pressure is cholesterol. In most cases, a person with higher than normal cholesterol levels will also suffer from high blood pressure. This is due to the fatty deposits left on the artery walls from the cholesterol in your blood stream.

The body actually needs no cholesterol, since it produces enough on its own, but the foods we eat often introduce more into our body. When no more can be absorbed into the blood stream, the cells deposit fat onto the walls of the arteries. This fat turns to a hard plaque, making our blood vessels smaller and smaller over time. The same amount of blood needs to flow through these smaller spaces, creating a higher blood pressure.

An unhealthy diet also causes high blood pressure in another way. When there is too much sugar in the blood stream. Glucose, or blood sugar, increases due to diabetes, in which the body does not produce the chemical that regulates blood sugar.

Ingesting food high in sugar, such as most desserts, can also cause your blood sugar to increase, as can stress, hormone levels, and infection. When there is more glucose in the blood stream, your blood is essentially thicker, and harder to push through your arteries and veins, creating a higher blood pressure.

High blood pressure does not only come from an unhealthy diet, but can also occur due to drug intake as well. People who drink alcohol excessively, for example, increase their risk greatly of having high blood pressure.

Caffeine is another drug that is proven to raise blood pressure, especially in combination with nicotine, which is found in cigarettes. Many other narcotics, especially those that are illegal in the United States, have also been show to increase your blood pressure.

Genetics is a final factor in the high blood pressure battle. Some estimate that 30% of high blood pressure cases can be attributed, at least in part, to genetics. We do not have any control over our genesgenetics refers to the coding used in our bodies that produces everything from the color of our eyes to our height to the ability we have (or do not have) to curl our tongues. We get this genetic make-up from our parents, and so there is nothing we can do to stop ourselves from having a high blood pressure risk when we are born.

However, we can prevent genetics from playing a major role be overall living a healthy life. By taking steps to reduce our high blood pressure, we can create a better future for our bodies, whether our parents suffered from high blood pressure or not. Living this healthier lifestyle, including eating a low-cholesterol diet, watching our sugar intake, and introducing less drugs into our bodies can help us overcome high blood pressure.

Beginning A Floor Remodeling Project

Installing a tile floor can be a difficult remodeling project. Flooring is not a project that can be rushed, as it takes time to properly prepare the floors and place the new tile. Acquiring a home design software package is a good way to start. Most have a section about laying tile. Though the program cannot actually prepare the floor or lay the tile for you, it can help you visualize the final result and avoid mistakes along the way. You will find useful tools such as design alternatives, help with measurements and advice on dealing with glue and cutting tile, among other topics.

Choose the tile for your floors accorder to your style taste, but keep in mind some of the differences in the options available. Stone and slate tiles are beautiful in appearance, but are generally higher priced than ceramic tiles. Stone and slate tiles also require sealing once the project is finished in order to prevent staining and allow for easier cleaning.

Be sure to think about how you will prepare the floor area. If the floor is smooth and not too worn, old vinyl or linoleum can be used under the tile. Keep in mind, though, that over time it may experience warping and soft spots under the tile may cause cracking. If you have a concrete surface, check to confirm that there are no high spots. This can be accomplished with a 2 x 4 but finding one straight enough is often a challenge. You can check by taking two boards and laying them against each other. Turn one board around 180 degrees and lay it against the other board again. This allows you to see if the board were simply curved in the same direction, rather than being straight. If there are high spots in your concrete surface, you can use a coarse belt or disc sander so smooth out these spots. Small bumps can simply be chiseled away tough be careful not to make the situation worse.

No surface will be perfectly flat, but any bump or high spot in the surface more than one-sixteenth of an inch can lead to loose tiles, or rocking. Since the tiles are glued, they will not actually rotate in place, but the pressure differences across the floor can result in cracks during use of the floor. It is important that floor surfaces are strong enough to prevent flexing that would lead to the same rocking problem. Uneven floors can be strengthened and smoothed by using a cement-fiber board or a composite spread cross the surface with a wide, flat tool.

Before using glue to permanently lay the tiles in place, dry lay a few rows of tile to get a feel for the tile pattern. You can experiment with spacing for the grout and floor design. Once the pattern and spacing is determined, you can use the adhesive to lay the tile.

Being very passionate about installing flooring, Ray Walberg published a lot of informative papers in the field. His contributions on hard wood flooring can be found on his webpage and also other web sites. Floors should set for a few days to a week before use.

Human Relations in 21st Century - Relations in Age of Internet

We are in the 21st Centuryand here the life is BusyVery Busy. We dont have time that is what we say to others. Lets see, if we dont have time or if we dont know how to manage our time or our intentions are not right.

We all carry mobile phones (also known as Hand Phones and Cell Phones in other parts of the world)all the time, walking, eating, working, travelingeven also at the time of sleeping, but we dont have time to send a message or give a call to our parents or relatives.

In this era, it is impossible to think about a life without Internet (Earlier having internet at home was status symbolbut now it is a need)we have Internet in officewe have Internet at home, but we dont find even few minutes in a day to write few words for our friends.

We are living in Jet-Agewe can reach anywhereany part of the world, in less than 24 hours. But we dont have time to see our siblingsbrothers or sisterswho are living in same city, probably in the same colony.

We never forget to read newspaper or watch television to keep ourselves updated with the latest newslatest happening in the worldbut we hardly get time to know as what is happening in our colony or in our family.

We have time to go to Movie Theaters, Picnics, Shopping malls but we dont have time to visit our kids in their school or college and enquire about their performancetheir strengths and areas of improvements and if we dont have timethen of course, they will be Arrogant, Egoistic, ill-mannered and will behave in the same manner as I mentioned in my last write-up Learning from experience. (You can read the whole article at: http://ezinearticles.com/?Case-Study:-A-Great-Company-Plus-A-Great-Recruitment-Consultancy-Firm
...And-A-Great-Goof&id=291674
)

In this fast paced worldas we are growing; growing in terms of wealth, recognition, fame, rewards etcbut what we are loosing isthese Human Relations.

Time is moving fastpeople are growing fast. The mantra of life is The more I get the more I want. Gone are the days when people use to say, Saayian Itna Deejeye jaamey kutumb samaye. Mein bhi Bhukha na rahoon, Sadhu na Bhukha Jaaye (Oh God, I dont need anything extra I just need to be enough for to take care of my guests and my family.

I have seen, couples staying in the same house or probably in the same roombut they only meet on weekends. It is only on weekends that they get time to speak to each other.

For years togetherwe dont see our siblings and then when we meet, we say Oh my lovely neiceItni si thi jab dekhi thi. Kitni Badi ho gayi hai (When I last saw youyou were just a kid, now you have grown so much). If you dont get timeyour niece will not stop growing, right?

Friendsthe purpose and emotions involved in this relation have gone for the toss. We only call our friendswhen we are in need. I knowsome of my known friends who call only at the time when they need any jobor any advice or suggestion.

So, where are we actually going? Where are we heading for? Is this what we all want in our life? Are we willing to pay this cost for what we want in our life? We need to look within to find the answer. Are we so poor in managing our time? Or we are so poor in understanding the importance of Human Relations.

No one likesopportunistic relations or Just in need relationspeople want to be in touch. Spending time for these relationsis not wastage of timebut PROPER INVESTMENT OF TIME.

Well, these are my views on Human Relations and their importance. You can have different perceptiondifferent thinking and beliefs. Let me have your comments and feedback on this.

Looking forward to your feedbacks and comments.

Have a great day and stay in touch. Take very good care of yourselfbecause you are differentyou are special.

The Various Health Risks Associated With a Non Ergonomic Working Environment

It doesnt take any form of magically induced knowledge to know that working in an environment that isnt ergonomic can affect your life greatly. However a lot of people claim they have worked in non-ergonomic working environments for years without risking their health or their safety as well. Making smart choices about the way you work can increase the chances that you have of staying well and safe over a long period of time.

The fact remains that any form of overt stress on any part of your body, whether that set of body parts is your muscles or tendons, can affect your immune system as well as your mental state of being. Ergonomics relies on the convergence of different aspects of mental, emotional, technological and physical self in order to better create a healthier working environment.

The lack of an ergonomically designed workspace could be a precursor to exposure to a huge number of physical ailments and these aliments include:

  • Carpel tunnel syndrome You can avoid this aliment by using keyboards and ergonomic office tools that are better aligned and easy to use.
  • Tendonitis Ergonomic office equipment that is created to fit the type of worker in question can lead to protection from this ailment.
  • Fatigue Simple measures such as the use of glare filters on computer screens can help ease eye strain and save employees and workers from any form of fatigue.
  • Constant colds and flu Stress can lead to failure of a persons immune system. With ergonomics the level of physical and emotional stress that people suffer from is improved. This can be easily done by improving the way that these people see the jobs that they are assigned to and the resolution of easier ways to complete these jobs. One more way to avoid any potential physical ailments is to make your office environment much more comfortable temperature wise. People who face temperature extremes in the office tend to develop one ailment or the other on a rather frequent basis. By regulating room temperatures you can easily alleviate these problems once and for all.
  • Mental health By lowering the level of stress through the use or ergonomic furniture, you also lower stress levels. Feelings of frustration and incompetence also disappear with an improved environment.
With the better understanding that you now have of the dangers and ailments that may occur when you work in an environment that isnt ergonomic. You can easily take the time out to make sure that any office equipment that you make use of is comfortable to use. Desks and chairs must also be placed at the right heights in order to prevent an undue amount of back and neck strain as well. Extra lighting should also be installed as it easily stops the strain on the eyes. Keyboards which are specially created to sort out problems of the wrist and hand must also be used as well.

The environment you work in should be comfortable as well. This means getting rid of any external influences such as plants that can cause allergy symptoms. The temperature in your office or cubicle should also be raised or lowered to provide the best level of comfort. Soft music may also help you relax and concentrate better too.
