The most glaring mistake in all of Star Wars! LMAO!
Remind you of anyone we know on FR.... someone who doesn't understand "quantity calculus"?
;-)
Sound bite of the week, if not the month, and maybe the whole damned year. Well done.
Yes, it's so good it should have been my line. [Grumble, grumble]
Sorry. It's beer-thirty, school's out, and your homework is speed of electricity/light
So what is the difference between a teacher and a preacher?
When things are written in the language of a horoscope, it is impossible for it to be true or false or to provide any guidance, because everyone will interpret it differently. Think about it for a moment. If the meaning were clear and unambiguous, then there would be no catching up to do, because everyone would know what it meant.
Your link provides a good primer on the subject. It becomes all the more clear that the common man relies upon the observations and reports of others when believing and declaring what is the speed of light. The guys who had the tools and intellect reported. The rest decided. That is what teaching is about.
Throughout much of history there has not been agreement as to whether light is finite or infinite. Imagine Johannes Kepler insisting, as a matter of law, that the observations of James Bradley be disallowed in classrooms. How much more absurd is the notion that intelligent design has no place in the classroom where the observation and detection of information is concerned.
This information did not manifest itself. It had to be sought out, tested, and confirmed. IMO, those who did the seeking and testing should be counted as above the average person where the tools and intellect are concerned. Too bad they were ignorant of a 4.5 billion-year-old earth.
Y'all are bringin' me down. It's a known fact that the Great Green Arkelseizure sneezed the universe into being, and I'm offended, nay outraged that we are wasting time on this "evolution" nonsense when the arrival of the Great White Handkerchief is nigh!
I think he says it best.

I've never seen people with so much testosterone sitting behind a keyboard...it must just fill them with machismo.
Ill pray for you.

First, I am not an atheist. Just because I am not a Christian does not mean that I am an atheist.
However, your loud proclamation of your Christianity is belied by your abject failure to live by the creed you claim as your own.
Second, someone who, like you, insists on telling the Creator how He made the Universe fits the description of being a pompous ass who isn't nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is.
"But Fester made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs."
That line cracked me up the first time I heard it, then made me pretty sick to my stomach every time thereafter.
You are correct in pointing out (#554) that the proposition of a 4.5-billion-year-old earth is as much an article of faith as the proposition that God created the heavens and the earth. There are a good many folks who have difficulty in distinguishing between facts and reasonable conjecture and thus, either out of pride or ignorance, present reasonable conjecture as if it were fact.
To think these same are entitled by law to present their conjecture as solely worthy of hearing in a classroom is, well, disappointing to say the least. As I said in another post, the speed of dumb beats the speed of light every time. The speed of dumber follows on its heels. Just watch this thread.
Job 38:16
Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Ecclesiastes 1:6
The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
are either of these ambiguous? think about it how would "Job" know about the springs of the sea? or noah "great fountains of the deep"
seem quite clear to me.
to paraphrase C.S lewis 'the less the bible is read the more it gets interpreted.'
However, you forget that we don't read words individually, we read them in context.
I like Mary like I like brussel sprouts. Three "likes", two meanings, but noone is confused.
I went back to the store and while I was there I scratched my back and then walked backwards until I hit a backpack.
Four "backs", still no confusion.
When "yom" is used with a number, it always refers to a normal day.
"Please describe how your "six 'yom' -- 6000 years ago" viewpoint explains this:"
Why is that difficult? You don't think God is that powerful?
Note that the redshift of galaxies is mentioned by the Bible as well -- it says He spreads out the heavens, which is exactly what we see.
Try following what the first post of this thread says and "Be nice". It feels like I'm scolding a child.
Those of you that want to somehow shame me into thinking my postings dont live up to a certain creed can shove it. When God asks you what choices youve made in life, he wont accept, "well wallcrawlr acted this way on the forum (whaa whaa) so I dont want to believe in Christs work". It aint gonna fly.
