There are many "scientists" who are avowed atheists and reject the concept that "science is the art of revealing God"... You hear that on the 700 Club? jttmab

"Can you say there are only 3 Dimensions??" Yep. It's easy; especially with cut and paste :>) There are only 3 Dimensions. Can you say there is a fifth dimension? Up,up and away. members.aol.com Time Time is often referred to as the "fourth dimension". It is, in essence, one way to measure physical change. It is perceived differently from the three spatial dimensions in that there is only one of it, and that movement seems to occur at a fixed rate and in one direction. The equations used by physics to model reality often do not treat time in the same way that humans perceive it. In particular, the equations of classical mechanics are symmetric with respect to time, and equations of quantum mechanics are typically symmetric if both time and other quantities (such as charge and parity) are reversed. In these models, the perception of time flowing in one direction is an artifact of the laws of thermodynamics (we perceive time as flowing in the direction of increasing entropy). The most well known treatment of time as a dimension is Einstein's theory of general relativity, which treats perceived space and time as parts of a four-dimensional manifold. [edit] Additional dimensions Theories such as string theory predict that the space we live in has in fact many more dimensions (frequently 10, 11 or 26), but that the universe measured along these additional dimensions is subatomic in size. As a result, we perceive only the three spatial dimensions that have macroscopic size. en.wikipedia.org
