No! Not because I say so! Ever heard of the three-body problem? Try it with six bodies! The idea that such a system could arise as a result of a steam explosion on a planet some 3 billion plus miles away is NOT PLAUSIBLE! If Pluto was out there by itself, it still wouldn't be plausible. The...

But not in a manner that is convincing. It isn't mere hand waving but it just isn't plausible and it is an entirely unnecessary component to the overall theory. Indeed, if accepting the notion that Pluto and it's five moons (a system that is wildly complex and which couldn't exist apart from...

You know better. Instantly (nearly so) accelerating anything to 160 times the speed of sound would, by itself, rip the molecules into ions, never mind doing so through Earth's atmosphere. No it isn't. There is no logical necessity for any of this part of the theory. Saying it doesn't make it...

I've discussed Mid-Acts Dispensationalism with Chat GPT many times and have had no difficulties whatsoever. Your post doesn't really explain what the issue you had was, by the way.

I failed to finish my thought on that last post but it doesn't matter. I do not deny that there is an argument to be made, it simply falls far short of proof. It, in fact, falls short of even being convincing, if you ask me. Obliterating large quantities of the Earth into ionized gas, doesn't a...

No it isn't vague. You're talking about energies and speeds that wouldn't just rip molecules apart but rip the electrons off the atoms. If Haley's comet came from Earth.

I'm pretty sure the point is that the amount of energy involved is well beyond anything that is plausible.

Finally, in response to pages 595-596, GPT gave the following response, which, once again, it's too dissimilar to the arguments I made before... This section is considerably more mathematically careful than most people would expect, but the core issue is still the same: A mathematically...

In response to pages 589-590, GPT's response mirrors some of my previous arguments... This section is trying to argue that the escaping “supercritical water” jets in the Hydroplate Theory would naturally behave like rocket exhaust and become extremely cold as they expanded into near-vacuum...

Well, I'm not mathematician so I plugged a few of those pages into Chat GPT and had it analyze both the math and the argument. Here's what it said... "The problem is not simple arithmetic. The problem is the model’s assumptions. The argument assumes that long-term comet orbital perturbations...

Monarchy is an entirely different issue. You can have a capitalist economy in several types of government. A constitutional monarchy would work great with a capitalist economy. The question is only what the laws are. If the laws are just then there would be no conflict with a free market economy...

Crony Capitalism is a term assigned to our system mostly by leftists. In actual fact, it is the only sort of Capitalism that has ever been tried for any lengthy period of time and it, as imperfect as it is, has produced a society with the highest quality of life the world has ever seen, by...

If Capitalism is likened to the game of football, the free market is the field on which it is played. A free market is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for capitalism. Capitalism is when private parties, whether individuals or corporations, produce, own, and distribute the goods and...

Umm, it's only the 13th of May and yesterday was Wednesday, not Thursday.

Well, a rose by any other name, right? So, I actually got interrupted yesterday and failed to finish making the point I intended to make. That point being that if a capitalist society were actually allowed to mature out of its initial stages, you wouldn't be able to draw it as a pyramid at...
