    What Would Be The Essential Components of Ensuring Eternal Life in Heaven.

    Ad nauseam!? I don't think so! I have attended church my entire life. I used to watch "Christian" television on virtually a daily basis and have intentionally studied the various doctrines that differ from one Christian church to another. In short, in one way or another, I've been exposed to...

    Real Science Radio: One Way Speed of Light Measurement Proposal

    Real Science Radio: One Way Speed of Light Measurement Proposal In this thread I want to discuss the measurement of the one way speed of light, which virtually all physicists will tell you cannot be done. It would probably be a good idea for you to watch the Veritasium YouTube video on the...

    @Right Divider, Is there a thread that discusses that episode of RSR?

    Does light have a tail?

    I wasn't unaware of it at all. I don't buy it but I also don't know of any Christians who believe it and so I tend to discount the whole notion as being, at best, a red herring. It's usually thrown out what amount to a poisoning the well fallacy, implication both that the belief is common among...

    Does light have a tail?

    So, the more I think about Bob's proposed experiment, the more I think it does sneak in the two-way speed of light. :( The mirror that they have at one end of the bottle isn't the only mirror in the experiment. In fact, every particle of milk in the slightly milky water is a mirror and every...

    Does light have a tail?

    I just listened to that episode. I can see no reason why their proposed experiment would fail to measure the one way speed of light. (My inability to see a reason, doesn't mean there isn't one.) So my question from my previous post stands on this point. How would your rotating laser experiment...

    Does light have a tail?

    How? Explain it to me again. My bet is that any such rotating laser experiment uses at least one clock. Also, if you can find a link to that RSR episode, please post it. I'd like to listen to it. (Never mind! I just found it!)

    Does light have a tail?

    Doesn't seem relevant. And I am responding in kind. If you use a single clock, you cannot measure the one way speed of light. It will always be the round trip speed of light. If you use two clocks then those clocks have to be synchronized in order to measure the one way speed of light but you...

    Does light have a tail?

    Who's being defensive? Do you like it when you have to repeat yourself over and over again? Do you like it when most of the substance of your posts go ignored? Do you like it when direct questions go unanswered? Do you like it when you get asked questions that could not be asked if the subject...

    Tachometers are clocks. Do you understand what a clock is? Of course not.

    Does light have a tail?

    It wouldn't work! A tachometer is a clock, or more accurately, it uses a clock. Look man, you really need to watch this video. It explains the issue as clearly as it is possible to explain it. If you skip the ad at the end, ti'll only take 17 minutes and it'll save us all a bunch of needless...

    Does light have a tail?

    It's not that I object, it's that it means your experiment doesn't overcome the issue of measuring the one way speed of light. So long as ANY clock is involved, it cannot be done. The point I'm making is that you aren't understanding the problem, not that you can't design experiments.

    Does light have a tail?

    Once again, you say no clock is needed and then go on to describe the use of a clock. Do you understand what a clock is? A clock is the use of regular occurring events by which to compare any two events. A clock includes at least three things. A start point, and end point and a regularly...

    What Would Be The Essential Components of Ensuring Eternal Life in Heaven.

    No. What did you think, that it's been 48 hours and so I'd forget that I've already responded to this idiocy and that I told you that I wouldn't answer any further until you respond directly to what I've already said? In short, I'm not stupid enough to allow you to bait me into accepting your...

    What Would Be The Essential Components of Ensuring Eternal Life in Heaven.

    There are not two standards of righteousness. We've not been given a new set of rules by which to live... Galatians 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law...

    He also spent his entire ministry telling people not to ever allow themselves to be placed under the law. It isn't about following the rules. You can live by a list of rules or you can live by the Spirit. Not both. Romans 7:6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we...

    What Would Be The Essential Components of Ensuring Eternal Life in Heaven.

    As I said, you seem not to understand what it means to love your neighbor! It certainly has nothing to do with paying their bills for them (duh!) Regardless, to teach conditional blessing is to teach law, which Jesus did, most especially in Matthew 5 which begins with the so called...

    @Jefferson, Do you know of a reading list that Bob ever compiled? If so, can you get it and send it to me?

    What Would Be The Essential Components of Ensuring Eternal Life in Heaven.

    I actually wrote a rather lengthy open letter to Standford one time and discovered that he had passed away before I was even finished with it. I still have it around in some box somewhere. I never sent it because I figured no one in his organization was going to be convinced that he wasn't being...
