Actually if you throw something at the ground hard enough it will create order: there are crystalline forms in rocks that come from heat and force of impact.
Which (besides the other nonsense) should be enough to tell you to stop paying attention to the attention-seeker and instead put a Bible app on your phone and listen to a chapter a day.
“Breaking”?
Sorry, but retrocausality has been a thing of discussion for longer than you’ve been alive.
This is a form of click-bait, sensationalism meant to garner views – kind of like “Scientists find a star older than the universe!” and such which takes some finding and deliberately misunderstands it to draw attention.
I am so tired of “Science Clickbait.” I’ve gotten good at spotting the astronomy ones but still working on the other disciplines. “Scientists find planet better for life than Earth” is a classic, by the way. Which one? Any one would suffice.
Do you know of any good Bible apps?
This kind of change is something like saying if you could change the position of one water molecule by a centimeter you could stop a tsunami – retrocausality applies to quantum events, micro-events at best, not to macro events. To not have the Romans use crucifixion would require macro-intervention in the entire ANE because it emerged from a whole array of cultural influences.
I use Dwell, which has choices for voices/readers. It also comes with devotional material that I’ve never bothered with.

Is this in reference to immigrant detention places?
Yes. I follow and am personal friends with some immigration lawyers and rights activists. What is reported in the news in only the tip of the iceberg of evil. The policy is now to send all pregnant girls to a concentration camp in Texas, San Benito. The administration says they all got pregnant during their illegal migration or before being detained, but activists say over half of the pregnant girls have become pregnant in detention, and some are as young as 13.
Thanks for that sobering update. Concentration camps anywhere are distressing. And here under our noses… a cause for anger indeed.
Yeah. Who needs that Second Law?! You might want to look at this fairly recent discussion: Could the universe function without the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
@mitchellmckain might be able to address your question as a professional who understands qyantum physics. Probably some of the other scientists here, too.
As a non-scientist, I wonder:
What the …? The detention centers are cesspools. Substandard conditions, poor food, non-existent medical care. Similar situations occur in for-profit prisons run by private corporations, but at least those have some form of oversight. ICE detention centers? They won’t even let members of Congress in without 24-hr notice.
I can guess the reason all the pregnant girls are sent to one facility: There’s little to no medical staff or nurses at the others! And if the girls had access to lawyers, it wouldn’t be too hard to determine whether they were impregnated before or after they were detained. Eventually, they will have access to lawyers, and I hope they file a class action suit that specifically names Stephen Miller as one of the defendants. He deserves to wake up broke and disgraced one day.
On the disrespect thing: When Christians as a group behave reprehensibly, it’s not an injustice for non-believers to show a lack of respect for both the individuals and the religion. Evangelicals jumped wholly on board with Trumpism, and they will go down with the ship when MAGA sinks beneath the waves of history.

Most of the credible scientists I followed left Twitter/X after the Musk takeover. (I left too.) There are still many left, so I would encourage you to do some searches on astronomy and try to find some real astronomers to follow. As @knor said, a critical approach to media is a crucial skill. Avoid obvious clickbait with headlines like, “This discovery changes everything we know about (whatever).”
Note: I should also add that I’ve seen quantum effects cited in all kinds of foolishness. I generally avoid anything about QM. I barely understand the basics, so it’s very easy to be misled by someone spouting the jargon.
No one can or should absorb everything. Be selective with your time and attention. Both are limited.
A master of the short story.
This treats Xnty as though it’s identical with fundamentalism. Its counter-part would be to identify physics with alchemy. Every claim is demonstrably false of the vast majority of Xn theologians and apologists. Do write to me. Roy Clouser
Hey @St.Roymond and @Jay313, do you know what is going on within this account?
I’m no social media expert so I don’t know what the structure of this account is meant to be. Again, I don’t use social media much so when I came across this by mistake I had no idea what to make of it. However, a few Christian accounts I do follow have referenced their own users to his account so I don’t know what to think of it.
Sorry, but to me nothing on X is worth paying attention to.
Alrighty. Again, I don’t usually go into X but accidentally stumbled upon this in my browser.
The account is simply reposting other people’s stuff, and it looks like they haven’t posted anything since 2025. I second what @St.Roymond said about X. The only social media atheist worth paying attention to is The Friendly Atheist, Hemant Mehta. (I’m not counting scientists and others whose atheism is incidental, not their primary social media persona.)
Alright. Thank you for your input!
Fascinating. So it seems like a Christian message seems present somewhere or another.
