    This relates to the scientism issue: what you "believe in" (faith) is different in kind from what you assent to as true (belief). Do you agree?

    Even if true, status today, the question is what is more amenable to determined that. Any viable candidate, apart from reding tea leaves, and playing tarots, or invoke religious beliefs that fall in the same category? Ciao - viole

    Form where sun got its energy in the first place ?

    Everything with mass has energy. Tautologically, since mass is energy. ciao - viole

    Historical Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

    Did Licona reply to the simplest naturalistic explanation of all? Namely, that all that has been written is just fiction? Completely made up nice stories, possibly written as entertainment for some bored Roman matron? A sort of "Adventures from the colonies"? Think about it. If the story would...

    What is your opinion?

    Why not? If you think that, then they own you, already. Congratulations. Ciao - viole

    What is your opinion?

    I am Swede and I fully support the right to burn the Quran, or any other so-called Holy Book, even though I am not really into burning books. It is freedom of speech. Religious sensitivity, or my opinion about burning dead wood, is far less important than that. What is mind boggling is that...

    Reasons To Believe In Yeshua/Jesus Christ Our Lord

    Yes, I once converted tap water into Dom Perignon Champagne. And not into some motor oil wine from the colonies like other losers claim. Yuck. Convinced? I can write something about it, if you need evidence. Ciao - viole

    Should I Put This On RF?

    reading the little pat of text, I had that impression. if the OP confirms that it is not what is implied, I am out. ciao - viole

    Should I Put This On RF?

    whether people care is not particularly useful in any rational discussion. Therefore, equally irrelevant. The point is that the segment you posted seems to indicate the entailment: paganism ==> cultural degradation. Which is obviously a non sequitur, as I have shown. Someone could have equally...

    Should I Put This On RF?

    Could be, but that does not entail cultural stagnation, either. You are making a moral argument that has nothing to do with philosophical, scientific, and more general cultural progress. ciao - viole

    Understanding Chaos Theory, Fractal Math, and Nature

    Chaos theory, does not defeat determinism. It defeats predictability, to a certain extent. Not the same things. Ciao - viole

    Should I Put This On RF?

    Could be, but for sure it defeats the claim that paganism entails cultural stagnation. Ciao - viole

    Should I Put This On RF?

    Yes, like in ancient Greece and Rome. CIao - viole

    Afterlife?

    I believe it as much as before birth. Ciao - viole

    Signs of Holy Spirit guidance in Christians?

    Why do they need guidance to start with? Is the information in the Gospel not sufficient? Ciao - viole

    What does God want from you?

    This is the main reason why they made Him up. Definitely not. I don't want anything from you. :) Ciao - viole

    What does God want from you?

    There is no logical entailment between "creating X", and "wanting something from X". According to the myth, He must have created carrots, too. I doubt though that He wants something from them. Ciao - viole

    certain human health problems (e.g. childhood cancer, birth defects, downs syndrome, etc)

    Why not? In my case it took 1 millisecond. Half a millisecond before I was a Christian, half a millisecond after, I was not anymore. Ciao - viole

    Why Jesus must be the Messiah

    Just in case that it was not self evident that He was. Ciao - viole

    Historical Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

    These are just nice stories written in a book, you know? I wouldn't go crazy to interpret something that could simply be pure fiction, without first showing evidence that it is not fiction. Good luck with that. Otherwise, it would be like analyzing the true mechanical force that locked...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    The problem with Satan, is that when you invoke him, all the bets are off. And if you do not invoke him, then where does evil come from? For sure that makes any belief system with Satan in it, possibly compromised. Ciao - viole
