Untitled[edit]

In his latest article in The Daily Telegraph, John D Barrow states that "the nucleus of every carbon atom in our bodies has been through a star". This I can not believe, as in the Bible it says that the Earth was created on Day 1, and the Stars were created on Day 4. As Man was created on Day 6, from the "dust of the earth", how can this statemant be true! Regards, Andrew Smith

If a carbon atom passes through a star and Andrew Smith isn't there to believe in it, does it make a sound? JackyR 23:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing in the biblical exposition there that says that the earth (and hence its dust) was not made from a star... If the earth was made at the same time as the stars or whatever, then I guess you're going to have to choose who to believe; it's God or John Barrow. I know whose side I'm on...

I'm sorry Andrew, but John Barrow (who is a great bloke by the way) is quite right. Carbon was created by nuclear fusion in a star, and then scattered when that star reached the end of its life, this matter then formed into a planet - our Earth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.252.188 (talk) 10:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joke[edit]

Andrew Smith: your idiotic literal interpretation of the Bible is a joke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.11.72.4 (talk) 04:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Getting a photo[edit]

How do I add a picture? I like this one here.

You can't just add any photo, it has to be one with a free license or public domain. I have had a look on Flickr and can't see any of Barrow. You can get a free one by finding an image and then getting its copyright holder to release it. Richard001 (talk) 01:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Books[edit]

The list of John Barrow's books are not in chronological order (book #18 is his most recent, proceeded by #1). (Also, I trust that the book in French is not just a translation of one of his English books? - He's had his books translated into tens of languages, so a mention of only one title would be odd). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.212.215 (talk) 16:01, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proponent of ID?[edit]

Is he a proponent of ID? The German Wikipedia mentions that. --Chricho ∀ (talk) 20:04, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Barrow...[edit]

John, you'll never get the Nobel Prize. Get over it.
