I was in med school when a JW lady knocked on my door. She said she had a book from her order and said it cost a quarter. I asked her: “Is your religion for sale?”, to which she was taken aback: “Oh, no!”, she said. She shared some stuff while holding onto a bible. I asked if she believed in the Bible and she said, “Oh, yes!”.I then said: “Some other religious folks had come by, and brought this”, I produced a   Four Spiritual  Laws booklet. I asked about John 3:16 in the book: “Is this in the Bible?”.She turned to it.

What about this: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). There it was in the Bible. Is this true? “Oh no!” she again said. “God demonstrates His own love toward us...

The Accuracy of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity

Image
Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1915, revolutionized our understanding of gravity. Rather than a force, it describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Over the decades, numerous experiments have validated its predictions with remarkable accuracy. Here's a look at the theory's accuracy and some of the key experiments that have proven it: Accuracy of General Relativity: General relativity has consistently passed rigorous experimental tests, solidifying its position as the most accurate theory of gravity to date. Its predictions have been verified across a wide range of scales, from the orbits of planets to the behavior of black holes and the expansion of the universe. While scientists continue to search for deviations that might point to a more complete theory, general relativity remains the foundation of modern cosmology. Top 5 Experiments Proving General Relativity: Here are some of the most significant experi...
