    30,000 feet of water?????

    The AI link shows the math. Actually, I did the calculation myself about ten years ago for a Topix post you might have seen since we're both Topix alumni, and came up with the following result, which is roughly the same as Revoltingest's figure and the AI figure. I can't vouch for all of the...

    30,000 feet of water?????

    The most interesting thing about that story is why it's in Genesis. It seems odd to describe a deity in such unflattering terms - it errs in its creation of man, regrets its error and attempts to remedy it in an inefficient and cruel manner, and then clumsily attempts to repair the problem using...

    Why Can't Harris Answer A Question.

    I wonder why there's any cost at all with the free energy sources. We went solar in 2011, which paid for itself in six years. Now, we don't pay for electricity, and we heat our water for free as well using propane only for the oven top and outdoor grill, which cut our propane costs by 2/3 as...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    I hope you don't mind our cover of this iconic song. These lyrics appear at time mark 3:37: And if you're still in the mood, how about some sensuous, sleazy blues?

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    How embarrassing for you to be vaunting your reading comprehension after your blunder above. Your words: By the way, can you explain how the following unsubstantiated source free statement is substantiated by the scientific method? 'We do not see creatures in various stages of completion. In...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Maybe you didn't understand my last post. It's not about being unable to answer questions. I am unwilling to do so again for you. Your condescension is insufferable. You just answered another poster similarly with, "I asked a question, was it too difficult?" I'm actually not interested in the...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Genuine question? Sorry, Tony, but I won't bite again. You did this a few days ago as well. You asked me, "How do we know those things didn't happen? that's simply a belief isn't it?" referring to the Genesis myths and the scientific refutation of them, and I gave you a polite and respectful...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    I define enemy as one who intends you harm (malicious) or is indifferent to harming you (sociopathic), and love as the act of protecting, sharing resources, or otherwise promoting the well-being of another. Using those understandings, the answer is no. Enemies need to be avoided, not supported...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    I've posted thousands of words expressing my beliefs. What I don't believe are insufficiently evidenced claims. Theology as I define it is the set of ideas of interest to believers but not unbelievers. If the god that a group of theologists believe in doesn't exist, then yes, they are...

    Trump Wants to Talk About **** Size

    If you support Trump you do. I don't expect you to learn that until and unless he is elected and YOU'RE living under his jackboot. Still trying to dissuade criticism of Trump? Are you familiar with the phrase concern troll? "In an argument (usually a political debate), a concern troll is...

    Now I wish I was a Pennsylvania resident!

    There may be some merit to those concerns. I can't say. I know I thought about it back before I expatriated when Bush II was president, and I had been quite outspoken and critical of where America was and was headed (surprised?) on a now defunct message board. Why should anybody live in fear...

    From Weird to Weave

    How about Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris? How about nearly half of Americans supporting a vindictive, demented criminal with dictatorial aspirations? Imagine being told that such things were in America's future twenty years ago when Cheney was VP. It would be unbelievable. I for one...

    Trump ordered to pay nearly 355 million in NY fraud case.

    Are you including E. Jean Carroll among the Democrats waging lawfare against Trump? I don't believe that we're seeing anything other than a criminal being indicted by impartial grand juries for obvious crimes and sued for various torts, several cases of which he has already lost in verdicts...

    On Evolution & Creation

    The technical answer is complex, but broadly speaking, the chordates are the fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. They have heads and tails, have symmetric right and left sides, endoskeletons, and brains, spinal cords (neural tubes) and (most have) bony vertebral columns. The...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Yes, I do as do many other educated people. Agreed. The AI explained what is believed by the scientific community in general terms. If you were expecting me to try to teach you, you're probably disappointed that I didn't. I also explained to you why I'm not willing to invest more effort in...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    So no counterargument - just angry outrage at my answer to your question? It didn't take much to set you off. Were you offended by my answer? Is your faith that fragile? You got AI because that's all I was willing to do for what appeared to be a creationist before I saw a sincere interest in...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    That was a reply to, "if by "God" you mean the god of Abraham, who is said to have created the world including the first two human beings in six days, we know that that god doesn't exist, because we know that those things didn't happen." Here's what AI says: "The universe is approximately 13.8...

    Trump Says He Will Invoke the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798

    That's typical Trump. He whines about election interference as he interferes with elections. He complains about the DOJ being weaponized as he outlines how he intends to do just that. I encountered something recently that summarizes this attitude well - Wilhoit's law, or the idea that laws are...

    Politics is the religion of atheists

    It's also a good way to turn people off of religion, or at least the dominant American form of it, which is antithetical to bedrock American principals church-state separation and bodily autonomy. Some people object to the church imposing itself on them, violating the Constitution's separation...
