Where there is no court, there is no law. Okay, then it is both you and the proposed Constitution that is trying to have it both ways. An unenforceable law is no law at all. The fact that the king would answer to God is no different than any other criminal except that right now, the king gets...

If this is the case then what are we even talking about? What is the legal penalty if the king rapes someone? If you say anything other than that he is tried in court and executed upon conviction then don't talk to me about the king being under the law because he isn't. You simply don't get...

I don't understand how you find so many words to say in response to such a simple concept as not setting a man in a de-facto position above the law, which you admit is precisely what your proposed system would do. If the nation in question had a covenant relationship with the living God such as...

How is making it so that an evil king has legal carte blanche to do whatever he wants not an even shorter road to tyranny? The judiciary would not be able to remove the king by fiat or whim over a long weekend. The process for removing the king would be legally complex thing to do that would...

I haven't the time to respond to each point so I'll have to keep this generalized.... The point it seems you are missing is that judiciary is already under the law in the system that you are advocating. In other words, I am not placing the king under anything other than the law because the...

Yes it does prove it. It proves it for the same reason that Enyart's "Evolve" computer program back in the 90s proves the theory of evolution false. Not because it is mathematically "impossible" but because it is so wildly unlikely that it is practically impossible. Pluto's system did NOT arise...

Unresponsive, unsupported claims do not an argument make. (i.e. Saying it doesn't make it so.) They haven't done so because it cannot be done. Explosions do not create more order, they create far less. Pluto, flat out, was not ever part of the Earth - period. The second law of thermodynamics is...

Repeat yourself all you like. Your implication that such details are relevant doesn't make it so. At the end of the day, we are talking about an explosion of one sort or another producing an orderly system of planetary bodies billions of miles away from the energy source that supposedly produced...

Think of it this way. Imagine a much easier scenario. Let's pretend someone was trying to create a stable system that rested inside one of Earth's Lagrange points. Let's say, for the sake of the hypothetical, that the technology existed to allow us to send any quantity of material into the...

I do not need to know anything more about what it does or how it behaves beyond the fact that it is an uncontrolled explosion, columnated as it may be, that supposedly is capable of accidentally creating a stable binary planetary system some 3 or 4 billion miles away from where the explosion...

There are really really excellent reasons why this line of thought has been understood to be a fallacy for longer than anyone has believed in the doctrine of exhaustive infallible foreknowledge. Appeal to Tradition Fallacy (29 Examples + Definition)

We are repeating ourselves. Those six bodies wouldn't have been the only six pieces of debris sent there in such an explosion - granting for the moment that ANY debris could have been sent there at all. Pluto has orbited the sun less than 20 times throughout the whole history of mankind. There...

It is not merely a mathematics problem. The mathematical difficulty reflects something true about reality itself, namely that extremely small differences in initial conditions can produce radically different long-term outcomes. This does not mean that every system containing three or more...

That is a LOT easier to say than it is to do.

It would have lit up the sky like a Christmas tree. The biggest meteor showers recorded in history would have paled in comparison. However much you think landed on the Moon, 10,000 times that would have fallen back to Earth and every piece of it the size of a grain of sand or larger would have...

Your third option isn't precisely the same as the second but it is little more than a modified version of it and it would fail for the same reason. Objects with the size we are talking about simply do not do gentle collisions, they do not cluster together and there simply hasn't been sufficient...

I don't know how any of you tolerate interacting with him.

My post was too short and conveyed hostility that wasn't intended. The simple fact is that neither of us is making any progress toward convincing the other. I present a dichotomy that you call a false dichotomy and then firmly sit on one of the dichotomy's horns. I talk about how much energy it...

We're done.

Oh, yes it does! Pluto and its five moons would have had to leave the Earth together, in close proximity with each other and in just such a way as to end up in almost perfectly circular and very very stable orbits. The three-body problem demonstrates how entirely impossible such an idea is. It...
