www.bbc.co.uk More about this episode: www.bbc.co.uk Great minds don’t think alike. In fact, offbeat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age. In the second of a three-part series uncovering the minds behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age, James Lovelock explains how his maverick way of thinking led him not only to technical breakthroughs in atmospheric detection systems on Earth and Mars, but also to Gaia Theory – a new way of thinking about the Earth as a holistic, self-regulating system. He tells of his struggle against the scientific consensus of the day, the ridicule of his peers and his passionate belief that the mainstream scientific establishment stifles intellectual creativity.

Does science fit in with your understanding of the world and your belief?
To Dancefly; I made one word mistake in my question, because of being dyslexia. If you are attack me for my English, than I would like to state that I have a BA (hons) Politics and Criminology; MA International Studies. Could Dancefly get those degrees?

i need some help on science
Why did Christians eventually accept the science of heliocentric solar system but NOT the science of Old Earth?

……cosmology and geology?
After all, for a long time Christians were adamant that Biblical statements like "the earth is fixed and cannot be moved" as denied any science saying that the earth revolved/rotated OR that it orbited around the sun. But somehow we as Christians were able to revise our interpretation of the Bible to accept a Copernican model of the earth’s place in the universe. BUT WHY HAS THE AGE OF THE EARTH BEEN AN ONGOING CONFLICT WITH SCIENCE?
So why were we able to admit our flawed Bible interpretation with the one idea but not the other?
=================================================
>proof
You will have to be more specific. Are you saying that Christians were satisfied with the scientific proof for heliocentric worldview OR are you asking for proof that Christians have admitted that their original exegesis was flawed????
The law of physics in space? Is earth the way it is because of the location in our solar system?

I know Scientist know this already but what about this scenario.
A sun thats 1/4 bigger than are current sun would this enable a earth like planet to exist and be 1/4 bigger than our current earths mass? If space has a whole new set of laws in terms of physics what do we know of ideal conditions that allow uor planet to be what it is water etc.. Maybe another sun thats 1/2 times bigger wouldnt have the same heat or radioactive ouput as our sun?
Is it possible that their are mini planets with a tempature of 65 deg average like ours or vice versa giant earths with a very comfterable average temp? When it comes to science its pretty precise 30 deg and it can snow so what do we know of other solar systems and their suns because that seems to be the key in terms of the size of a planet that may be like ours.
My question in whole is this does the suns size and tempature output related to possible habitabal planets that are like Earth. Also does the sun size and output negate planets size. For example smaller suns smaller earths bigger suns bigger earth just father away to compensate vice versa for the smalller sun or weaker star in terms of heat or energy output cause maybe in space size doesnt matter! I the laws of physics on space is something we have no idea about yet.
Is there any hope for humanity as we destroy the interdependent life support systems of Earth?

Don’t we ignore the warnings of science, taking refuge in ignorance, superstition, familiar comforts and aspirations – and the delusions underpinning them?.
Scientifically speaking, is the existence of the universe necessary for human life on earth.?

Most, if not all would agree, that the sun is vital for human life to exist on earth. The sun with its solar system rotates around an arm of the Milky Way Galaxy composed of many stars, which in turn rotates around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy composed of millions of stars. The Milky Way Galaxy
itself rotates around the local group of galaxies, which in turn probably rotate around a larger group. Perhaps this continues indefinately. It appears to mean that for life to exist on earth all these billions of heavenly bodies must exist as part of a great clock perhaps to infinity. If this is true, it is an awesome thought. The cost of our existence is beyond calculation. Is this true, using the facts of science alone ?
Since science says that the Sun is like 4.5 Billion years old, isn't that proof that they're wrong about earth?

As in, this is what Wiki says about the Sun:
"Solar formation is dated in two ways: the Sun’s current main sequence age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.This is in close accord with the radiometric date of the oldest solar system material, at 4.567 billion years ago"
Well they also say that 750 million years ago, or roughly a billion years ago, the earth start having volcanic activity and water started evaporating and stuff, etc, etc.
Well science also says that if the Sun became like three degrees cooler, the earth would freeze. So since a billion years ago, the sun was obviously three degrees cooler because the sun gets bigger over time, isn’t that proof that the things they said happened on earth a billion years ago, well, didn’t happen?
hehe, well I can’t back up the three degree cooler thing, that’s what someone told me that science says. ^_^
Thomas H does have a point. 
well, lets put up Genesis 1 to see what it says:
Genesis 1
The History of Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
He may not believe the earth is billions of years old, I don’t know. What I do know is that he also was no science major, and most likely didn’t like school.
But those are the exact same people who every now and then, say something brilliant.
Religiuous Amanda, are you religious?
I’ve always wondered. ^_^
I did ask. ^_^
Atheists do you understand your earth dating system only works if the half life of elements is constant?

Why do you assume that? Is not science supposed to make no assumption?
