Im sorry, its a proven fact that the definition of time only became universal after the death of Christ which is Anno Domini...  and please, no one recorded time during the big bang.. the scientists in Switzerland failed on their research.  This was in 2008 if you remember. and their experiment was not to measure how old the earth is, it was to discover how the earth was formed and how life began.

Astronomy? the revolution of the earth around the sun? who said that there is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? Human beings, we created time.
how do you define fiction? something that is created, not discovered and hence time is not exact and it not a science.
Im not arguing on equivalency.  Time is created by man, not by nature. period. The carbon measurements used by anthropologist to measure how old an artifact is , is not accurate, and is only basing on approximation.   and theses measurements again are made by man, not by God.

My main argument is that the discussion about time and its accuracy is useless since at first we have different time measurements compared to the time measurements during that time.

Whether or not we celebrate Christmas on May because maybe Christ was born in May, the main point is that, Christmas does not even have a Christian origin as the main proposition states.

Im a Christian and I dont push my religion on other people.  I am at least happy that the spirit of Christmas unites the rest of the world Christian or not in a common celebration of love and giving.

The Origin Of Christmas

      Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.

      It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.

      To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.

      The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.

      In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.

      When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.

      What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?

      You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.

      The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
      Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.

      The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.

      This was done long before the birth of Jesus.

      It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.

      These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.

      Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.

      This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.

      In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.

      The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.

      Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.

      The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.

      The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.

      Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.

      These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.

      The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?

      The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.

      The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.

      The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.

      The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!

      In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.

      A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.

      In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.

      When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.

      These reformers left Christmas intact.

      In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.

      The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.

      Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.

      We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!

      In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.

The birth of Christ is true and good.
His birth is central to Christian faith.
Christmas is part expression of this faith.
Adopting cultures to express this faith is not bad.
Some Christmas symbols are partly adoptations of an existing culture.
Christ is the true meaning behind Christmas.
Christ birth is not diminished with culture used in order to express deeply its meaning.
Christmas is good.

akong question to all of you...

nganong mo feel raman mo ug christmas on december? honest i find it BULL you know why? ug christian gani mo you always carry it in your heart all year round. why only express it in december? isnt it ironic? (not a song ha)

speaking of faith, kay wa man jud ta kabalo kanus-a sha natawo, why you celebrate it on december? is it because somebody told you so? is that faith? i dont think so. it is hypocrisy to me...sorry im just a straight forward.

Date is not the question.  Of course sensitive ang mga tawo on Christmas date because they were made to believe that Christ was born on December 25.  Pero gani, paganistic ang origin sa celebration of Christmas on December 25.  Gihaum ni siya sa mga romans nga na converted to Christianity later on.

Tinood dili issue ang date pero kinahanglan nga naa tay common nga petsa kung when ta mag celebrate para naay unity ang mga tawo. Imagine, ang pasko nato mayo and sa mga amerikano ,hunyo? pinaagi sa common nga petsa, ang tibook kalibutan naay common day of celebrating christmas.

Im not arguing on equivalency.  Time is created by man, not by nature. period. The carbon measurements used by anthropologist to measure how old an artifact is , is not accurate, and is only basing on approximation.   and theses measurements again are made by man, not by God.

My main argument is that the discussion about time and its accuracy is useless since at first we have different time measurements compared to the time measurements during that time.

Whether or not we celebrate Christmas on May because maybe Christ was born in May, the main point is that, Christmas does not even have a Christian origin as the main proposition states.

Direct evidence for a cosmic origin in a big bang comes from three observations. The first, and most direct, is that the Universe is still expanding today. The second is the existence of a pervasive heat radiation that is neatly explained as the fading afterglow of the primeval fire that accompanied the big bang. The third strand of evidence is the relative abundances of the chemical elements, which can be correctly accounted for in terms of nuclear processes in the hot dense phase that followed the big bang.

But what caused the big bang to happen? Where is the centre of the explosion? Where is the edge of the Universe? Why didn't the big bang turn into a black hole? To understand the correct picture, it is first necessary to have a clear idea of what the expansion of the Universe entails. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the explosive dispersal of galaxies from a common centre into the depths of a limitless void. The best way of viewing it is to imagine the space between the galaxies expanding or swelling.

The idea that space can stretch, or be warped, is a central prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity, and has been well enough tested by observation for all professional cosmologists to accept it. According to general relativity, space-time is not a static arena, but an aspect of the gravitational field. This field manifests itself as a warping, or curvature, of space-time geometry, and when it comes to the large scale structure of the Universe, such a warping occurs in the form of space being stretched with time.

A helpful, albeit two-dimensional, analogy for the expanding Universe is a balloon with paper spots stuck to the surface. As the balloon is inflated, so the spots, which play the role of galaxies, move apart from each other. Note that it is the surface of the balloon, not the volume within, that represents the three-dimensional Universe.

The notion that the physical Universe came into existence with time and not in time has a long history, dating back to St Augustine in the fifth century. But it took Einstein's theory of relativity to give the idea scientific respectability. The key feature of the theory of relativity is that space and time are part of the physical Universe, and not merely an unexplained background arena in which the Universe happens. Hence the origin of the physical Universe must involve the origin of space and time too.

I think you are misinterpreting time in reference to equivalency with space and quantum mechanics with the poetic notion of Time in the Humanities and Artistic regard. If so, then, of course, you are arguing in a different level.

But where could we look for such an origin? Well, the theory of relativity permits space and time to possess a variety of boundaries or edges, technically known as singularities. One type of singularity exists in the centre of a black hole. Another corresponds to a past boundary of space and time at the big bang. The idea is that, as you move backwards in time, the Universe becomes more and more compressed and the curvature or warping of space-time escalates without limit, until it becomes infinite at a singularity. Very roughly, it resembles the apex of a cone, where the fabric of the cone tapers to an infinitely sharp point and ceases. It is here that space and time begin.

Once this idea is accepted it is immediately obvious that the question "What happened before the big bang?" is meaningless. There was no such epoch as "before the big bang", because time began with the big bang.


It is quite obvious that time began in the big bang, and the big bang is not deniable, I say this as a Medical Scientist. In consequence, just because there was a technical malfunction in 2008 in analysis of a this does not disprove the Big Bang, which is and is validated by Astronomical-Astrophysical Science. We, the Scientific community, may not have the technological precision to assess this yet, but the concept and the theory itself is unchallenged.



Colloquially,
Lorenzo

This thread, by origin, will become biblical. There is a time and place to explain the scientific, but when one discusses the biblical, one must answer and address in biblical terms.

We are not forcing our views to anyone, on the contrary, we are sharing views. If anyone takes offense to that, then I merely have to say is to grow thick skin.

We share views. It is up to the individual to take it or not; nothing is forced in here.

So please.

Roy,

Quantum fluctuations are genuinely spontaneous and intrinsic to nature at its deepest level. There is no deeper reason, no underlying causes that explain when a nucleus will decay. It just happens.

hmmmm...

In all due respect,

We celebrate Christ Mass on December 25th because it is part of the liturgical calendar, part of the worship that is in Roman Catholicism. Extrinsic to this, it is also celebrated and observed in Conservative Protestant Churches, namely: Methodism, Lutheranism, Anglican, Presbyterian etc.

One celebrates on a daily basis, but it just happens that December 25th is central and key in the liturgical year. It is the starting point, so to say in Layman's terms. Then it progresses with the celbration of baptismal, then Easter etc. Per Annum continuant.

Do we care what the history of December 25th in regards to pre-Christian epoch? Of course not, we are not celebrating paganism nor do we propagate pagan culture, as paganism in Rome was defeated when the entire city became Christian with the arrival of the Ministry of Christ's message through Peter (Cephas).

Anyone over-analyzing that and delving into the pre-history is missing the entire point and meaning of CHRIST MASS.


Respectfully,
Lorenzo

Absolutely wrong.

We do not use AD or BC anymore, the correct usage is CE (common era) and BCE (before common era).

Additionally, time and space begins in equivalency in a spectrum. At moment of the Big Bang.

It isn't an abstract concept, as you view it in your mind. Time, additionally, isn't an aesthetic or figurative or literary concept.

So please.

Best,

we are not on the same level on the understanding of time.  how is time actually defined? webster says that its a system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another.
and this system for all we know is created by man.  If I was early enough to be born in this earth, i could have also designed a different measurement too.

your "cut and paste "does not help much because your argument is the origin of time...  which is not our concern.  the gallaxy may grow, and the earth is aging of course.. nobody argues about that.  but this has nothing to do on what we have talked about.

Here in europe, its one hour plus in the winter and one hour minus for the summer. in asia its different. We dont have consistent measurement of time. Thats why, back to the issue on the time of the birth of Christ, this is not at all debatable, because they have different time measurements, and. an important note, the length of days and nights were different, climatic conditions were different.

How did this topic on time arose? it is when you based factual questions on biblical descriptions!!!
Our time now.!!! climatic conditions, time measurements are different.

so when the bible described that  the shepherd were lying on open fields, you cannot conclude its summer!!! for christ sake..

different time measurements,
different lenghts of days and nights,
different climatic conditions..
different human reaction /adaptation to climate

more than anybody else, you must know all these.  It is even hard to compare this winter of 2008-2009 to winter of 2007-2008.


any more cut and paste? i enjoy reading

The information I provided in the post was from a physics website, which I provided to answer your question of time itself. Your post declares that time began in AD as you quoted and the concept of time itself evolved. Or so how you meant to say it.

On the contrary, what I was trying to do, Roy, was proove to you that the concept of time existed even before that. Even in ancient civilizations such as in Sumeria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Hittite, the Assyrian, even the pre-classical Nubian civilizations have their own concept of time and the beginning.

The classical Christian concept of time, which you tried to effervesce begins in what is now considered CE or formerly AD, which begins in  O. The year O.

The post that I shared, bears to mind the scientific and physical answer of the beginning of time itself. It bears in mind, Roy, that time and space and the spectrum that both occupy begins in the center of the conical concept of the Big Bang. Time did have a beginning, and it is thoroughly supported by Einstein's own Theory of Relativity.

I just like correct your misinterpretation of thinking that Time is nothing more than an abstract concept defined by man. Nay, time existed before man. Time existed even before the conglomeration and the propagation of common elements--which occurred after the Big Bang. (which I would share in detail if we were to discuss this in a physics thread, in all all due respect).

The information I provided and shared by 'pasting' nonetheless does not weaken my argument. Which I stated time and time again (no pun intended, lol).

Time has an origin. And time is not a human concept, in the view that you have.

Perhaps you have difficulty in understanding or digesting my argument?


Best,
Lorenzo

who told you that A.D. and B.C. is not used anymore when the Humbolt Universität zu Berlin School of Social Sciences still used it?  please dont say it when you are not sure.

we are not on the same level on the understanding of time. 

your "cut and paste "does not help much because your argument is the origin of time...  which is not our concern.  the gallaxy may grow, and the earth is aging of course.. nobody argues about that.  but this has nothing to do on what we have talked about.



It may be so, you're arguing on the concept of time and the definitions of webster. You're viewing it in aesthetic and linguistic point of view. Thematics.

I'm arguing on basis of scientific origin.

Secondly, I would like to refute your statement that the concept of time isn't being argued. On the contrary, its a hotly debated topic in Physics and Astronomy as well as Cosmology. You would be surprised to the level of discussion of said topic.

We in the scientific community do not use AD or BC any longer. The scientific community prefers to utilize a more secular CE or BCE.

Time begins at moment of the Big Bang.

I was merely adding depth to your own argument. lol.

Agree with you, I love this discussion.

stop contradicting yourself

this were my claims
1. time is created by man hence it is fictional.  We have differnt measurements of time during the ancient civilization and during the time of christ.

2. please dont base your answers on biblical foundations when the question is factual.  this is misleading.

ang topic lagi. date sa birth of christ.... and kamot an nako .... bible basihan tungod sa descriptions...


again..

differnt time measurements
different climatic conditions
different human reaction and adaptation to climate


there is no argument on the beginning of time..l of course hahaha. there is a beginning of time...
of course, the earth is aging.  but do these support any of your claim.. wala


so stop the intellectual arrogance....

Roy,

It isn't contradiction since my argument is unchallenged. You're arguing on aesthetics and literary concepts.

You fail to understand the importance of scientific truths. Perhaps since you're far more in depth into the social sciences.

We are arguing concept of time. Man's concept of time changes according to his understanding. This can be seen in the limited understanding of man some a millenia ago or two. However, in the light of scientific understanding and the brilliance of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, it brings understanding that time, and space begins at an point of origin. A beginning.

My friend, it is the very basis of Cosmology, as well as Astrophysics as we know it.

I would be the one to dare say challenge you on your understanding, perhaps you're thinking too much on the humanistic concepts.

Time is absolute. Aesthetics and philosophy is but something that is man-made.

Time and Space, is scientifically absolute and has a beginning. It is not fictional.

You are focusing too much on secondary and peripheral points that do not substantiate your claim.

Your claim was time is fictional. The word fictional is 'untrue' 'made up'.

To declare that Time is fictional is to completely debase the Theory of Relativity, to debase and to reject The Big Bang.

To completely de-legitimize the Schools of Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology.

Your rhetorical statement of time beginning in AD is unfounded. Time begins in the apex of the Cone. In equivalency with space and the entire continuum.


Your arguments make no sense.
Too much puff and no proofs.

who was around when the big bang occured to conceptualize time? 

i dont argue on the beginning of time. as ive said. the earth ages.. thats fact.

But when i said time is fictional, on the premise to the discussion on the date of Christ..

it is.. why?

because time measurements were different.... and please, how can you base your argument on the bible on the exact date of Christ?  basing on descriptions  we are in different situations man?  different climatic conditions, different adaptation..

and to note, aesthetic is a critical judgement of the beautiful by kant has nothing to do with the discussion.. simang na sad.

what are the scientific means to consider in determining the birth of Christ?

una,  you consider carbon dating kung naa pa iyang bukog.. maybe pwede pa...

second... is only through history!!!
kay kung na prove pa na sa pure science..  naa na unta kay exact date karon!!!!

Im sorry, its a proven fact that the definition of time only became universal after the death of Christ which is Anno Domini...  and please, no one recorded time during the big bang

Refute:


Incorrect, how is it a proven fact? Does everyone in the world agree to this? To be a fact or a Law, it must be substantiated or universally accepted.

And actually, The Big Bang began is estimated to have occured some 13.73 ± 0.12 billion years. Which is in basis of the Cosmological Principle, which states the isotropicity and the homogeneity of the universe. The present proofs that substantiate this is the Hubble-type of expansions observed in the redshifts in distant galaxies.

My main argument is that the discussion about time and its accuracy is useless since at first we have different time measurements compared to the time measurements during that time.

You are arguing the concept of time in terms of the social aspect, in terms of civilization and growth. In terms of the humanistic.

The discussion of time and its accuracy is not useless consider it is in equivalency with space. It is imperative to the understanding of the age of the earth, the age of the galaxies, imperative in calculating time shifts, calculating the Hubble Concept.

So please.

lets go back why weve discussed time... why? because you cant support your answer..

always contradicting...

exact date of the birth of christ...based on figurative desccriptions of the bible...

this does not hold water....

main proposition: bad origin of christmas
sub proposition: date of christmas
sub proposition 2: birth date of Christ

isnt it you who argued on biblical bases the date of christ why I commented that time is fictional... most importantly in this sense?


isnt it you who may have taken the drugs intended for your patients...  hehehe joke

Incorrect, you complete tried to debase Time. In your own words you called it 'useless'.
So please, bud.

Secondly, you said the concept of time began in AD, I merely added light to your comment by saying that you are arguing in humanistic viewpoint considering that many other civilizations prior to classical Roman Epoch had their own concepts of time.

My argument, Roy, is that Time begins not in the start of the AD epoch, nor does it begin in the beginning of different civilizations. You are being rather provincial. My argument is that Time begins in the Conic Apex, in parallel with Space itself. That is why the Universe is in constant expansion, that is why the common elements seen in the Periodic Table of Elements are also found in different planets (per se Mars) and in our own Moon where elements such as Zinc, Lead, Cadmium, Copper, etc are also found in the their terric surface. Same as in earth. This suggests a singularity and a common similarity in the chemical composition--which IS TRUE. Which therefore suggests that there was a gaseous phase--per se Hydrogen. Which facilitated the coring of materiel into planets. Now if we maintain and uphold that--and take into consideration the Cosmological Principle and the Theory of Relativity--it substantiates the Big Bang.

If you are having difficulty in digesting this, which in my opinion--is rather BASIC..then I only have a recommendation that you read more into it.


Best,
Lorenzo
