So Jesus could in fact have walked on water since He would have had access to the truth about creation? Philip was transported, too. It has to be possible.

So how did you post the whole article without the strange text? :)

The left is getting squishy about science-speak. They are so out of touch of reality that fast science talk impresses them.

That’s interesting too.

Indeed God’s ways are fascinating.

On the left it’s not required that one know anything about anything, no less science. Thus all this global change nonsense.

Good conservatism, OTH, requires lifelong learning.

If there is EVER an earthly explanation for Jesus walking on water ... THAT explanation is flawed and false

I wouldn't allow that thought a nanosecond of existence

On a similar note about fractals, you could never draw a completely accurate map because when you get down into fractal territory, the length of line necessary to portray a coastal area, for example, would border on infinite.

I get it; you’re one of those people into practical things like learning to tie shoelaces and brushing your teeth, not cerebral stuff and definitely not theoretical physics.

Ah. When Jesus calmed the storm, did He not have control? Just thinking outside the box of blind faith. I have faith in my Father and Lord who created this universe and who designed all the rules. Faith and the soul-body link I believe are also within those rules because we are molecules.

For me, it is a wonder and awe that we are His handiwork as is everything in this creation. It is not denigrating in any way shape or form that there is a reason for the miracles.

What is funny is that when the new heaven/earth is created there is a whole new set of rules. All knowledge will be done away with (history, anthropology, astronomy, etc), as with prophecy (makes sense), and languages (we’ll all speak one language again). Love never stops.

When I was an undergraduate I thought I was smart enough to be a physics major. So I took a lot of physics classes. Trust me. When physicists talk about light they are talking about the entire electromagnetic spectrum. ‘Cause it’s easier to say, “The speed of light is c,” than it is to say, “the speed of all frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum is c.”

Unfortunately, this causes a lot of confusion among laymen because they’ve always been correctly told that light is only a small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum that your eyes can actually see. But physicists don’t have occasion to talk about that part of the spectrum very often. So to them light means the whole thing.

I would have accepted that explanation had he not used the qualifying and exclusive term, “sole” Which I highlighted. The explanation is easy, he made an error.

But wait! There’s more! ... The speed of light is slowing down as the amount of energy in the zero point field increases!

There’s still nothing like the universe to bring you down to earth.

A manifold by any other name should taste so good.
