Not concerned because you can argue that the universe is encased in a greater construct and then when you say where did that come from, you are just asking the same question and not getting a final answer.The only satisfactory answer is that the very beginning of all has to be:eterrnal/infiniteintelligent/awarehas a personality that is conducive…[Read more]

Quote (Istari @ Jan. 17 2011,19:57)SF,T8,The problem most everyone seem to be having regarding 'elohim', 'God', is that there seems to be an attachment of the TITLE term 'God' to the Almighty God.While it is correct to say that Almighty God is God, it must also be acknowledged that the Title of God is a title than can be given to many others.As…[Read more]

China will be a superpower, if not the superpower of the 21st century.I worry about our part of the world and China's ambitions. I think Australia will be fine as they are investing billions in defense and warheads. But New Zealand thinks that they are too far away for anyone to attack, and thus we cannot defend ourselves.Our national anthem is…[Read more]

I should also mention that some quote part of the post that is relevant. That format is much easier to follow.If you can't part-quote, then just make a post and copy and paste the part that you want to quote and click the quote button, paste in the text, and click the quote button again to close the tag. If you can't do that, then quote the text…[Read more]

Why do people quote whole posts when the post is just above their reply.Think about it. It is much easier to read a conversation when it has one reply after another. When it is nothing but quotes inside quotes inside quotes, then I don't know about you, but I lose interest in the conversation.

Quote (Stu @ Jan. 17 2011,20:20)It is true that ice takes up more volume than water, but it is not the melting of the ice so much as the thermal expansion of the water that is the mechanism which will raise water levels.StuartYeah that was my understanding. But if you talk to the average person, they think the sea levels will rise because there is…[Read more]

Quote (DennisTate @ Jan. 16 2011,12:28)Later on I read Stephen Hawking's Universe. in his chapter The Anthropic Principle he speculated that perhaps there were an infinite number of unsuccessful universes out there somewhere in which was no life due to the fact that electromagnetism, gravity, weak and strong nuclear force were not properly tuned…[Read more]

How did we get from Star Trek to the Quran?Beam me up. I'm outahere.

Not sure what this topic is about. Trash, Stuart, or are they the same thing or something?

OK, so God evolved. Who wrote the program called Evolution/crafted the logic by which he was subjected too?

Yes, it is easy to observe how much cooler a forest is compared to an adjacent plain with no trees. I read somewhere that Israel effectively changed their climate and is one of a few places where desertification is reversed.When desertification takes place, it also blows hotter air to areas outside of the desert and drys out the plants, nopt to…[Read more]

Just a side not. If icebergs melt, then wouldn't the space that they occupy be filled with more water than the original ice?I know that water in general expands in a warmer climate and that part of each iceberg is above the water. But most is below, and if icebergs melt first, then there could initially be a drop in water levels. OK, I know that…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Jan. 16 2011,09:46)Does having the word “elohim” applied to one necessarily mean that one is “NOT” God Almighty? YES or NOWJI am not sure that you can answer yes and no to this one in the same way that I can say, “have you stopped robbing banks”? Yes or no obviously doesn't work for that question either.Not all who are…[Read more]

Jesus never went around saying that he was the messiah. He answered correctly when asked.If the two witnesses are 2 men, then I would imagine that they will not go around saying, “I am one of the two witnesses”.

Editing rights is given when a user has been posting for a while. The reason it is not given to newer members is that it stops spammers from abusing that feature. i.e., they post a legit post and change it later. A member who has posted for quite a while and has good posts earns editing rights because they have a good track record. Sorry about…[Read more]

Unity is a good thing and not striving for it is a shame. We are always going to see things in a unique way. This doesn't compromise the…[Read more]

I think he was probably referring to humans given that we can inherit eternal life. I don't think that rabbits are leaping about in the third heaven for instance.
