jake.com Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 a recent substitute was trying to use the face that no two snowflakes are alike to prove that some higher power or energy was acting upon it. can somebody explain why snowflakes are like this?

Phi for All Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 So when we see symmetry and uniformity in nature it must be a higher power acting upon it, and when we see complete randomness with no two objects alike it must be a higher power acting upon it? Is this the same higher power that acts upon the simple and elegant as well as the incredibly complex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is why he is a substitute and not a teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well the "higher power" that makes snowflakes is the laws of physics. Snowflakes are a type of water crystal. There are several types of water crystal, some of them are hexagonal. Guess what shape snowflakes are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
