As far as just Biden goes, I agree that he doesn't sound good. He seems unable to finish words/sentences/thoughts. It seems he doesn't recollect things clearly when speaking extemporaneously. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much of his difficulty is due to some sort of motor speech problem...
But of course it IS about Trump. Because the upcoming election is between Trump and Biden. So while we we're discussing one old guy who, as far as I'm concerned, is far to old to be trusted with the nation, I have to stack it up against another guy who is also old, but who is antagonistic...
I think it is a problem. And as others have said...against another opponent...someone other than Trump, this kind of meandering halting speech would be of grave concern. But then I hear how Trump goes on when he's ad libbing. It's not much different. So, as far as intelligibility in their...
I always thought the story was that Satan was at one time a favored angel who rebelled. He was cast out of heaven because of his rebellion. And 1/3 of the angels rebelled with him and were also cast out.
I never heard it was to purify him or them. What brought that question on? Some...
Oh for goodness sake...you aren't offending me.
Ok, let's go with the 'a computer is like the universe.' A computer...every computer...is formed from previously existing material and in the future, it may cease to be a computer, but the matter/energy of which it was made will continue to...
I'm not sure that study shows with a high degree of certainty that parental affection can only be due to God. It seems just as likely that human babies need parental care...and their emotional and mental development is linked to their physical well-being such that without emotional...
I understand the concept of freewill acts of sacrifice. And, to the extent that humans have freewill, I don't see a problem with this arising naturally. Certainly other species produce individuals who sacrifice themselves so it is very likely that this tendency was part of the human gene pool...
But now you know what I meant, right?
Granted talking about anything happening is a supposed timeless existence is difficult when our entire way of thinking revolves around time. But how do you think and talk about of something happening outside of time? Or do you just assume such...
Your asking what I mean by 'the issue of logistics.'
I am referring to why the problem of infinite regress does not apply to the preternatural. Just because it is other than natural, doesn't suddenly eliminate the logical dilemma AFAIK. Just uttering the word 'preternatural' and 'timeless' in...
That's interesting. If that is the way God can 'do things and still be timeless' then there are a number of points.
First and least important, I am not sure whether the ancients were prescient or just lucky.
Second, I'm not sure that explains how God can think sequential thoughts all at once...
Ok then.
I don't see the universe as resembling a computer. A computer has a milled fabricated appearance that resembles other things humans have designed and created. I see the universe more on the order of, say, a star which forms, emits light and heat for billions o
Yes...I chimed into...
"God, which is the creator"
But you realize that's just a definition, an assertion with little to back it up OTHER THAN it solves a riddle. IF there is a god who creates or if a creator God exists, then that would be an accurate definition. But that's what the discussion is about. We aren't...
Let's address the simple question first...which is how you posed it. I said that if someone...even the most renown physicist...claimed he was typing on a computer the popped into existence with no explanation, I would doubt his word. Do you agree that you would doubt his word...or would you...
