Evidence for God from Science

There's the claim that the pentagon was hit by a missile, and another that the twin towers were brought down by a controlled demolition, which is shown here: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc7.html

While most of them hold little merit, the Controlled Demolition is considered the most controversial of all, it does kind of seem strange.

Also, there's a movie called Loose Change which discusses this, however I don't reccomend it because the film has already been shown to carry much dishonesty and lies which have been debunked.

What do you think?

The twin towers were designed to collapse exactly as they did, so as to cause minimal damage to adjacent buildings. A fact that escaped Bin Laden as, by his own admission, he was expecting the towers to fall sideways so that maximum damage is affected. These conspiracy theories are nothing new; most people know what the deal is, though.

Wow. I didn't know that. It makes sense though. So they were made to collapse in this kind of Catastrophe or was it a safeguard as it was being constructed?

University of Wisconsin prof to teach class on 9/11 as US conspiracy

A dhimmi professor lends respectability to the most paranoid conspiracy theories circulating in the Islamic world. "Investigation Over 9/11 Teachings," from Inside Higher Ed, with thanks to MSG:

Two months before the start of the fall semester, one syllabus at the University of Wisconsin at Madison is getting a very thorough review.

Patrick Farrell, Wisconsin's provost, announced last week that he would review everything about the course “Islam: Religion and Culture,” in light of comments made on a radio show by the instructor, Kevin Barrett. In his remarks, Barrett said that the United States planned the 9/11 attacks as a way to start a war in the Middle East. Barrett also indicated that he planned to share his views during the course this fall.

Barrett, a temporary instructor, received his Ph.D. from Madison in 2004 in African languages, literature and folklore. He has taught one other course at Madison, but it was not about Islam. Barrett is a founder of a group called the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth. On that group's Web site, he elaborates on the views that he discussed on the radio, writing, for example, about the “big lie” of 9/11 and of the “compelling evidence” that the attacks were “an inside job.”...

I think that a terrorist would like to hit the building as low as possible so that other buildings and less people will be likely to escape, however, the actual results and attempt were differant in such a manner that nothing else was really damaged but the target itself and there was still plenty of time for people to escape on the lower levels. I don't even think anything smashed into the pentagon, there was an investigation done and supposebly, nobody found any tracks of any planes because the pentagon claimed that the plane first landed on the ground before it hit the pentagon. There were no signs of tracks or anything that proved this.

The reason the building collapsed the way it does is because it did not use the traditional steel skeleton framework which most skyscrapers have used, to support its immense size. Instead the World Trade center employed a steel exoskeleton envelope like structure to give rigidity to the building. This opened up space inside, in an unprecedented manor. An unintended side-effect is that failure in one section would not cause the building to collapse. The entire exoskeleton had to be compromised in order for the building to fail. And that is exactly what occurred when the top floors failed and put undue pressure on the floors below. thus the buildings collapsed straight down.

But this only applies to the "Twin Towers".

Now the original article didn't involve the two main towers. The conspiracy involves 7 World Trade Center. At this point in time the government has yet to release an official report recounting the cause of the collapse of this building.

I was told this by an architect. Maybe he didn't know what he was saying. I was led to believe that this is a question that is asked of architectural designs particularly in metropolitan areas during the official review process.

If it isn't, I think it should be.
