    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    I don't believe I actually said that -and certainly did not mean that. One of my basic points here is the difference between -and what lies between -what must have been a very complex singularity and initial simplicity. Fairly sure you equated initial simplicity to the big bang -not me.

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Physics as we know it is far removed from greatest possible simplicity -though most basic physics allowed for present extremely-complex physics. The question is whether most basic physics required creativity to become present physics. Present physics once did not exist as such -but is an...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Complex, yes -but not necessarily BIOlogical. Different -even simpler or more basic -things can have similar function and arrangement. (Calculators were made long ago employing water rather than electrons, computers show that decision does not require biology, etc.) Creativity is a necessary...

    A proposed solution for Young Earth Creationism

    I have not checked that against the names and years lived given. Might try to calculate that some time. Either way, there is no scriptural reason to assume there were not others outside of Eden when there were only Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel.

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Just realized how confusing my initial post was. In summary... Humans evolved into creators -but based on a present nature which is extremely complex and -at the very least -now purposeful. Present nature is different than previous nature inasmuch as previous nature was arranged into present...

    A proposed solution for Young Earth Creationism

    That is only if we assume that Adam and Eve were the first "humans" by scientific definition -and if we assume that the 7 days of genesis described the original creation of the heavens and Earth. When we read scripture, it is very easy to assume things the original writer did not mean -and did...

    Some questions about evolution (genetics etc) and possible implications for creationism

    DNA/evolution would not have been a surprise to a God who designed, packaged and initiated the universe. The singularity became countless worlds and environments within which the elements could interact and assemble into that which they logically would. Evolution does not need to be false for...

    A proposed solution for Young Earth Creationism

    Young Earth Creationism exists due to a misreading of scripture. The bible does not say the Earth is 6,000 years old. There is no reason to make anything fit that timeline. It is not biblical. Adam would have been created about 6,000 years ago -the first man by biblical definition -not...

    What do you like better?Brownies with walnuts?Or none?

    Rather have a chocolate chip cookie -don't try to slip me an oatmeal raisin, either. I am wise to that trick. The only brownies I have liked were from a box -and tasted like chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Pecans if anything.

    Abolition of Alcohol

    A surprising number of foods naturally contain alcohol -from burger rolls to soy sauce. Drinks obviously contain more -as the point is to catch a buzz. A beer, cocktail, wine after a hard day's work is just awesome -and alcohol definitely helps some be relaxed and more sociable. I don't think...

    If Hell is a place of eternal torment

    A more accurate understanding is indefinite/dependent.... an ultimatum. 1 Cor 3:13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath...

    How Does the Existence of God Negate Darwinian Evolution?

    If "Darwinian" translates to "In the complete absence of creativity", then that would be negated by the existence of a responsible creator. A creator shown to be responsible for creating the Earth and all therein about 6,000 years ago would show aspects of Darwinian evolution to be false -but...

    Administration Sends Military To Afghanstain And Other Countries

    I purposefully did not identify any group as good or bad guys -and did not refer to that scenario -just made a general statement. Groups are made up of all sorts of "guys", anyway -so that gets pretty tricky.

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    I was considering HOW things are in bondage to decay -and that what is necessary to counter it is "refreshing". We cause many things to continue by refreshing this or that -and design things to be efficient so as to be spent less easily and require less effort to be refreshed. It's a pretty...

    Administration Sends Military To Afghanstain And Other Countries

    If it becomes necessary to go somewhere due to existing conflict, reducing conflict as much as possible and respecting/acknowledging/referencing the culture and -more importantly, people -of the region in order to help them cause and maintain their own peace is optimal. More peace=fewer...

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    It would seem complexity is the border between the physical and spiritual. Our spirits now perceive and act from within a body limited and isolated from the spiritual/more basic yet powerful -by complexity and arrangement. Our spirits -if perceiving and acting from within a body which interfaced...

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    Everything in existence is connected -there is nothing truly separate -any separation is by logic/creating some sort of border. I prefer to get more specific. I don't believe we are made of different stuff in our physical body than we will be in a "spirit" body, but on a different level of...

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    You would not be entirely different -but only in that one way. I actually think you are technically correct, but have no problem with such things. That's the issue some have with the concept of Star Trek transporters -but I'd be more worried about errors -some kind of "ooops" than being a...

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    We are a sort of emergent pattern already. Most of your cells are replaced every seven years anyway. Nothing stirring about, say.... terraforming by fiat or such things? Your spirit/mind/personality are just given a better interface... Though not specified, the new interface would also allow...

    Natural "bondage to decay"/Children of God

    (I put this here because it deals with the ultimate way science and religion could possibly get along.) Many believe they will "go to heaven" -but biblical scripture actually says we are to inherit the Earth first -then the entire creation -the entire universe -"the heavens". It also says we...
