I speak a little more quickly, and I have a bad habit of mashing my words together when I speak, so often times I have to catch myself and enunciate more clearly when speaking to people who aren't all that familiar with me
Thanks for posting that song! Good to learn about new groups and I like their sound
If we are posting songs about healing though, we have to include Heilung - especially when the song is specifically about healing!

The heat problem
The forces at work during the flood event would create enough heat to "vaporize the Earth's oceans, melt the crust, and obliterate the surface of the earth-" and that is just the heat problem associate with radioactive decay and doesn't include things such as the plate...
I'm not sure we can entertain ideas of "transcending all things" without leaving the realm of reality and stepping into the realm of fantasy. What would it even look like for something to "transcend all things?" Seems like an impossible concept that cannot exist such as the concept of...
So all things must logically abide by this necessity except for this one unexplainable transcendent mystery thing? Eh... That don't sit right with me
Ah ok
How is that so different than a big bang due to a totally mundane reason? What's the point of adding the "transcendent" element?
If this were true, I'd be curious to know how this logical necessity doesn't also apply to the transcendent mystery source. Also, how do we know the mystery source is a thinking being? Who's to say it isn't just a natural occurrence?
Not sure how you can believe pandas wouldn't die without bamboo when they are currently dying out due primarily to their food source, bamboo forests, shrinking. Can you show me examples of pandas in captivity being fed anything besides bamboo for long periods of time and surviving? This is...
I love how this thread has turned from a science vs. religion debate to a joke thread about ignoring people. Should the mods move this thread to the joke section?
I can't avoid something that's unapproachable. You are trying to compare something that cannot exist without a creator vs. something that is self sustaining and self perpetuating. Those things aren't comparable. That, specifically, is what you are failing to address
How is a house similar to...
Another comparison of a house (something that can't possibly exist without a creator) vs. reality itself (something that perpetuates by itself without any need of any outside help). It's a false comparison
Ehhh, yes but change still happens - albeit, much more slowly in the case of religious dogma. The march of time continually moves forward, and religions that don't follow risk irrelevancy. That said, there are many that dig their heels in as much as they can get away with before reluctantly...
...Until god changes his mind. New covenant vs. old covenant. This isn't so different from secular laws changing in the face of a changing culture. Religions change their stance on changing culture all the time. It's no different
How is morals via religion any different than morals via moral...
Bamboo makes up 99% of the food they eat. Yes, they eat other things as well, but without bamboo they die
Were there no monophagous animals before the flood? How do animals go from being omnivorous to eating only one thing or else they die within the span of thousands of years? Do we have...
