Re: Evolving from Simple to Complex?
Hugh: Stu says that "You don't have to understand the intricacies of how something (Miracles) happened" and Philip says that "Hugh, merely admitting that "SOMETHING occurred" is not meeting the criteria of faith as per the specific wordings of Scripture." Which of thes...

Re: Did Obama wiretap Trump?
Spinning this story, either way - whether Trump was correct on the wiretapping, or not, is far too soon. There are many entities and many agendas within the halls of power, with connections to the cloak and dagger crowd. I don't care where this stuff leads, as long as we get to the bottom of who aut...

Re: Is God's will immutable?
Is God influenced by prayer? Only to the degree that the prayer matches up with His will for a particular issue or situation. But that influence from our prayers, as well as His will (and thus ALL of His responses), have ALWAYS been known to Him. There is no NEW information that God's decisions or w...

And: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/devin-nunes-donald-trump-surveillance-obama-236366 What this likely indicates is that, for those in high official positions that did not know about this, the right hand often doesn't know what the left hand is doing. If but several things come of this mess,...

Re: Evolving from Simple to Complex?
Hugh: Yes, I thought you might. The answer, as I wriggled away with just now, is that I don't know. In several circumstances we have an undisputed before - a dead body in a tomb - and an undisputed after - men being put to death for the preaching the message of the resurrected Christ - but not, at ...

Re: "Tree" or "Web" of Life? A Tale of Red Wolf "Species"
So then, "species" seems to be what us humans like doing most -- trying to put things neatly into boxes with a nice label. In a nutshell, there is no purity of species or humans. Humans - we're all mutts. The way genetics work, we'd only know when there are shared genetic similarities, bu...

Re: Did Obama wiretap Trump?
The supposed wiretapping at Trump Tower was a reaction to Trump's private conversations with other leaders getting leaked. So, he was extremely angry over that - and it happened more than once. So, he was likely paranoid, and not truly understanding how things worked, who could order what, etc. - he...

Re: If Trump the liar claims:
We just better hope the fat boy isn't suicidal or just plain crazy! We also better hope that he's enjoying being alive and in control. Or, if he ever grows desperate and ready to end it all, that any potential murder-suicide he might enact doesn't involve million of people. Hopefully, he has enough ...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
The old school def for the second one is "agnostic." Of which there are two main types: Those who truly and honestly don't know of any evidence that proves God exists, and those who don't care/don't know/don't want to know/and willfully avoid any exposure to evidences that might change the...

Re: New Theological discourse happening

Re: earth's age and God
God has NO age! Age is but a number, but it is always SOME number, nonetheless. ETERNAL/ALWAYS existing - there is no number for that - He transcends those parameters.Does the bible compare the age of earth to God's age or something? I've heard this but I haven't found it, even on google.
