The God Equation, at last.

The God Equation (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/12/the_god_equation.php) from Pharyngula.

Scientists working in the UK have discovered robust evidence that the creation of the earth and moon was a deliberate act. The researchers found that the earth, moon, and beyond were engineered according to a specific equation. They have dubbed it the God Equation. The equation, which looks like this:

shows a constant, unchanging relationship between the speed of light, the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, and the radio frequency of hydrogen in space. Artificial intelligence engineer David Cumming, CEO of the Edinburgh-based company Intelligent Earth, recently discovered the equation, and said: "I am a scientist and as such I didn't at first really believe it myself. But physics is physics, and maths is maths, and you can't argue with it."

Presumably it has been peer reviewed.

ETA;)

Are they peer reviewing soup sandwiches now?

1. Actually, in addition to the equation being bogus... the _what_ equation? How do you get from an equation to "god"?

Let's pretend for a moment that the equation wasn't bogus. (It is.) Let's pretend they actually did find some equation of the universe there, and it actually describes some Y based on some X in ways we didn't know before. (It doesn't.) How do you get from such an equation to "God"? Why would it be "god" and not, say, "science" or "physics"?

2. Essentially the Omega is just another way to write that frequency. You multiply by Pi and divide by C, and you get omega for a given frequency.

Which would be measured in Hz / (m / s), i.e., since Hz is already 1/s, you get Omega measured in 1/m.

And the only thing of notice there is that if they actually use megalythic yards instead of metres, the value for omega for one particular band of one particular atom, is 0,0123456789 megalithic-yards^-1.

Actually, no, seeing that the frequency is in MHz and C is in km/s that's off by a factor of 1000, which already ruins that nice looking sequence of digits.

But anyway, it looks like it might be meaningful, but it really isn't. It only gets you that number if you use a contrived unit, and really even that number is only significant if you're a dumbass. Assigning some signifficance to such a sequence of digits is numerology, not science. What it is, it's just a wavelength, and with contrived enough units you get get any number out of it.

And, of course, for any other atoms and any other units, you'd get a different number.

Well, I never had any hope that ID "science" would make sense.

Even if it has physics and maths???!!!11:eye-poppi

but it doesn't take the Heisenberg uncertainty principle into account but then again, christians say there can be no uncertainty when god is involved.
