Very good. Banana. One other thing kicking around in my mind is how all the fish died too. That means the waters were poisonous or toxic anyway, at least for a while until things settled down. Or maybe they were just very hot! That's one thing we don't have in the Bible, is the temperature...

Yes this moral theory believes in human rights but it believes that there is basically just one right, and all the others basically 'grow' out of it like a tree trunk supporting limbs and branches. It proceeds from the principle of self ownership, which is fine for unbelievers but it conflicts...

Once they are converted and regenerated, you mean. Before conversion, though the elect is assured of eternal salvation, they are not saved until they are actually regenerated by the Holy Spirit, coming to faith in the Gospel of Christ.

What do you think about the trolley problems?

Woke up this morning thinkin about oil. Black gold, Texas Tea, bubblin crude. Oil is, we are told, the degraded remains of tissue. The fact that there are benzene rings in oil is consistent with this theory, because how else would benzene rings get made if not enzymatically, within an...

So what do you think? Do you believe that all the waters of the Flood preexisted the Flood, or that it was created ex nihilo at the time of the Flood? No offense or antagonism implied or intended here, just very curious!

Thing is, He was conceived, in an instant, and before that, He was not yet conceived in Mary. So in that instant, something physical happened, something changed, even though it was miraculously caused, the effect was physical. So I find that amenable to scientific inquiry. Are we going to be...

There's no dark side of autodidadacticism or self-education. But you do actually have to educate yourself, otherwise it's not really autodidactism. @ffreeloader read some political science. Get into political theory, political philosophy, get into liberal institutions like separation of...

I hate trolley problems. But I think that in this case we can imagine one that's actually easy. Imagine there are two people [presumably fertile] man and [presumably fertile] wife, and no one else, and if they don't multiply then well that's it for the human race. But the wife resists and is...

LIFTING What's lifting? Lifting is when you pick up your 'tablet' off your desk. What I mean is, anything more than 'body weight' exercise is lifting.

Link worth reading. Argument is that it's partisan electioneering. They didn't want Republicans to nominate the first Black lady justice, and they didn't want Republicans to nominate the first Latino justice either, and when they got their chance (present day), they nominated a judge who...

RD#1 NOPE you're WRONG jk you're right. tyvm. e4e. As I said in another thread to @Stripe I am "level zero" geology!!!! OK. Fair. I don't have any problem with your supporting these men and their theory. I have read through many pages of the website you keep linking to (and that is...

Which is why if it can be substantiated, a significant subterranean layer of water between the mantle and the crust that was "broken up" (Genesis 7:11) causing the Flood, would simultaneously disprove atheistic cosmology, and prove God and His 'ex nihilo' Creation miracle, and that physically...

Anarchism with 'gold-bug-ism' then. Either way, you're dropped like a phone call from this serious discussion about potential WWIII. I know that anarchism's ultimate end, whether you want to admit it or not, is permanent war. Anarchism idealizes a political situation with no laws and no...

Point being, it might not be the West who assassinates Putin the Idiot. It might be Ukraine. Then what?

Perfectly Catholic.

International relations with Russia is beyond deterioration at this point, it's just disintegrating. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-united-nations-general-assembly-voting-rights-united-nations-linda-thomas-greenfield-6b4f311e6099315aa4efc2d5772ab80e Here is an historical example of...

Versus the "bogus" book of Romans, written to the Roman church. Rolleyes. Declaration. Saying it .... Bald assertion.

Agreed, which is why 65-68 is really the warmest I'm comfortable with, if I have my druthers, because the humidity doesn't really matter. It's either going to rain or it's not, no in between lol.

And a utilitarian legal positivist. "Originalists" are the justices we expect Republicans to nominate and confirm Romney!
