Prove God Exists - Act Three

[erickcid]

A passage from the Tao Te Ching.

Therefore,
When the Way is expressed verbally,
We say such things as
"how bland and tasteless it is!"
"We look for it,
but there is not enough to be seen."
"We listen for it,
but there is not enough to be heard."
Yet, when put to use,
it is inexhaustible!

Any of them spam?

I think the real question is "Are any of them not?"

Is this supposed to be proof? I don't think it is!

I'll look for one.

Um supernovas don't produce energy, they only change it from one form to another un a quite spectacular fashion.

But supernovas do produce a TREMENDOUS amount of energy when they "explode".
The sad thing is that all that energy goes wasted for us: if we could only find a way to use that energy for our interests, WOW!!!(maybe I read too much science fiction).

No it doesn't produce it, it just spews out a large portion of it in a very short period of time. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

 

[King Alexander]

Yes, I know what you mean. I just "stuck" some times, if I want to describe in English a complicated scientific proccess! I leave this "explanations" to you, then!

So, do you understand why your criticism of Sim's post was unfounded?

Interesting fact rarely mentioned by evangelicals: 1 Kings 22 presents God as deliberately lying in order to mislead someone. Therefore you can believe that God always tells the truth, or you can believe that the Bible is true in every part, but you cannot consistently believe both.

Read it again. God did not lie, one of his angels put a lying spirit in the mouths of Ahab's favored prophets. God sent the truth, of His strong disfavor of Ahab, to Ahab via Micaiah. Ahab ignored the prophet he hated, the one who told him the uncomfortable truth, and listened instead to the lying prophets God's angel deceived to deliver Ahab into death in battle. Had he listened to Micaiah, and hearing of God's disfavor, changed his ways, his rule might have been longer and happier.

As it stood, everything God warned Ahab about happened precisely as He warned Ahab it would.

Once again, people who skim fail to heed the context, and end up confused.

 

[King Alexander]

Yes, but don't expect me to explain it!
So, the question is: where does God find that extra energy? (I've answered already).

BTW: I haven't congratulated you for your #9,000 post! [dance]

@Plotinus: Do you want to start an Origen fan club?

Exaggeration

So if you saw it yourself, if in fact it happened after you escaped slavery in Egypt by passing through the parted Red Sea, you would conclude that the evidence of your own eyes was exaggeration? Whatever. I consider this point won, you refuse to even put up a fight.

Not really, "Let there be light" does not neccesarily implicate big bang theory, much of genesis is out of order the arrival of man is a given, I mean honestly, it would be silly if it didn't. The fact that you can stretch it to make it fit does not mean it matches exactly, there is no miracalous correspondance.

Yes, and of course, that's the ONLY point of correspondence between current ontology theories and the Genesis account. Whatever.

perfection: It was intended as something to think about in context with the other messages,

 

[King Alexander]

Please, can someone explain to me what "Origin" means? I've looked in my digital dictionary, but it doesn't have any info on this word.

EDIT: Never mind, I had typed the word wrong!
EDIT 2: I haven't yet completely waked up, and maybe that's another reason for not understanding very well.

Yes, because if your oppoenent missunderstands you, you automaticly win You were obviously refering to exodus and I was refering to my interpretation of exodus. If I was there than yes, it's most likely I'd believe (granted its truth). However, I was not there and so I can easily atribute to exaggeration.

I never said there weren't others. My main point is the fact that you can weasel it to fit, which you clearly have, anything, the correspondances are illusary. I could come up with thousands, nay millions of interpretations of genesis given the proper amount of time. If my theory is that the earth was plucked out of a purple chicken's butt I could still weasal it to fit the bible.

 

[FearlessLeader2]

Ok, do it. Use the Bible to prove your 'purple chicken's butt' theory.

 

[Perfection]

Ummm, I started to, then things kinda got really disgusting, really fast, I don't think the mods would allow it.

I'll let you pick some absurdity and I'll show it's correspondance to the bible.

 

[FearlessLeader2]

Let the mods decide then.

 

[Perfection]

Nah, I'm not going to rewrite the thing (I didn't save it) and complete it (I knew it wouldn't pass quite early on) just to have it struck down by mods, trust me, it was disgusting. To be fair I'll let you pick the absurdity.
