Since you answered Yes, I have another question for you. Is it possible that everything you think that you know to be true is false?
This is NOT meant to be hyperbole. Rather, I am asking a serious question.
I know God in the Lord Jesus Christ, and all things are created by Him, through Him, and for Him. He will judge the living and the dead, and those that deny Him will suffer an eternal death. On the other hand, all those born of the Spirit will live in eternal joy of Christ.
Think of evolution for a moment. What of it is empirical? What of it follows the scientific method? Science is not the problem, rather the problem is wrong conclusions and wrong variables assignment. So I ask again, can you demonstrate using the scientific method, any evidence of macro evolution, that is a change of one kind of creature into another?
Is it impossible for God, the God described in the Bible, to exist?
If you can engage in an honest debate, I will. Let's set a time limit of 3 days. Let me know if you need more time.
BTW, the only evidence for evolution is micro-evolution, which is called adaptation. Darwin's finches and the stickleback fish are both examples of adaptation.
There is no evidence for these five:
macro-evolution
biological evolution
solar evolution
chemical evolution
stellar evolution
Anyone who is an evolutionism proponent, can you supply empirical evidence or evidence supported by the scientific method to support any of the five?
Two questions, I'd like to hear from someone who professes to be atheist or an evolutionist.
The bill requires agents to provide a written receipt to the person from whom the agents confiscate an electronic device. I surmise this translates to a situation of today which could develop as such, "Give me your laptop!" demands an agent, and the poor person hands over the laptop with NO RECORD of surrendering the laptop!!!
I nominate Slashdot.com to become a behemoth IT outsourcer within the U.S. (why stop there, the WORLD)!!! The new Slashdot.com will bill Intel, Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, and all the other corporations, and IT folks can get paid:
base rate for 8 hours per day
(base rate)*1.5 for 8-12 hours per day
(base rate)*2 for 12-16 hours per day
(base rate)*2.5 for 16-20 hours per day
(base rate)*3 for 20-24 hours per day
On Saturdays, the above schedule doubles.
On Sundays, the above schedule triples.
On Vacation days, the above schedule triples.
On Scheduled Time Off, the above schedule triples.
I was once on a school bus after a snowfall. The bus was travelling up a hill where it lost traction, and proceeded to "slide" in reverse toward the frigid Puget Sound in Washington state U.S.A. The driver had downshifted in response, but could not re-establish friction. He ordered the remaining children to pile on the seats over the rear wheels. I thought about bailing before the velocity of the bus increased to a speed that would be dangerous to jump out the doors, but I complied. The wheels pressed to the pavement, and the reverse direction slowed with the wheels rotating in the forward direction during the entire incident. The grip came and we proceeded up the hill. To automate such a scenerio would take a tremendous amount of forsight and aptitude on the programmers part!
It did go: God says stone people, people get stoned, God says stop stoning people,
Let's take an OOP abstraction case to garner what's going on here.
Isreal is in something akin to the lifecycle of a person. God allowed the Israelites to be His people. Clean of sin - if they could, but they would need to depend on Him. When Isreal failed, Isreal was instructed to purge itself of sin. That's the stoning to which you refer (also the sacrifices). Follow righteousness, gain the reward (no stoning). It was an object lesson in futility for the young nation of Israel. Isreal was an impetuous young one. This correlates to what Jesus teaches, "If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire." He is telling us to be clean, and we can do this only through His strength.
It astonishes me how this discussion about carbon dating digressed into a negative rant against our Grand Creator and Israel.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and your inquiries are easily answered.
The Ten Commandments comprise a segment of the Mosaic law, and they can be found in Exodus 20. But, let us not quible with enumerating each verbatim. Let me repeat it simply in the words of the Lord:
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
The first commandment Jesus refers to are the first five of the Ten Commandments, and the second are the balance.
The Israelites were a rebellious people, and they were like a teenager, over-confident in their own ability. They were humbled in their captivity in Babylon (not 5). It was not immediate. The Israelites are not God, so Psalm 137:9 is a rebellious rant by an Israelite, not God.
Why do I eat Lobster (even if I don't like shellfish)? Jesus allows us to eat what was once considered unclean. We wear pants because He is a new covenant. The Holy Spirit taught me a wonderful lesson. The justification of sin for a person participating in any type of sin, including homosexuality, lies with Our Father. The Father may enlist me to convey a message of purity in a polite and courteous fashion, but both the means and the end are His. God put a spirit of love in me, so it is my prayer to be used for others to understand the futility of sin; more importantly, that I may be used for others to see the Sweet Reward that is Jesus Christ. I am a sinful creature, but I have hope for one reason. The one reason is my Saviour. I am not good of my own will, so I will not look down on another.
I do not do enough for others. This is sinful of my flesh. I surrendered to Him, I know Jesus suffered for my sins instead of me being cast to Hell, because He conquered death 3 days after His Crusifixion (witnessed by over 500 people), because He ascended to His Heavenly Throne (many witnesses), I have salvation. If you surrender to Him, then you can too!
Just over a year ago, I needed to transact credit cards. I use a self signed certificate authority. The credit card clearinghouse I use said "no way" during the application process. I showed them how I could apply for and receive a SSL root cert by supplying just a post office box and virtually any true or ficticous demographic info. Now, if people really want what is sold on the sites I administer, then they can complain to the browser publishers about the lousy "content blocked" notices. BTW, people still get in because they really want what is sold!
I assumed outsourcing in within the U.S.A,, in particular Texas! Have you ever heard of Copperas Cove, Texas? They could provide a very attactively priced labor market.
I don't care where the outsourcing occurs. The people who care, Dell executives with a vested interest in the Dell brand and logo, will encounter a significant gap in their ability to manage quality. The outsourcer can "just move on". The customer gets the raw deal. DOA units were low with Dell. 1 in 10. Now we see 1 in 4. We've moved to HP.
The Apache OFBiz (http://ofbiz.apache.org/) contains a calendar with project management to boot. It's actually a lot more that just a calendar, including open source enterprise automation software (ERP, CRM, SCM, SCM, MRP, EAM, and by adding http://www.opentaps.org/, financial accounting. I just started testing, but it looks good at this early stage.
"boy, no matter what, it seems God is working that." , scientists tend to say "we'll just leave this unknown for a future generation to ascertain."
I intentionally used the word "tend" because there are scientists who indicate the finger of God shows through the precise location of the radiation rings emanating from the Big Bang.
Email From Independent Security Researcher to Micorsoft Security
We discovered a race condition in Vista TCP/IP stack which reduces system performance to near zero. When a person clicks the Start button to attempt a shutdown, Vista encounters a buffer overflow resulting from the dynamics of resource allocation due to the race condition. Merely connecting to Vista or responding to a SYN/ACK with Vista may result in a remote compromise.
Email From Micorsoft Security to Independent Security Researcher
Thank you for your submission. We will undertake investigation of the assertion you presented.
BTW, you violated our intellectual property (how do you know it is a race condition and bugger overflow), EULA ( performing analysis of Vista), copyright (you wrote Vista without permission), and trademark (ditto for Microsoft).
You are summarily notified by this message that according to the EULA and DMCA we assume full ownership of your assertion. If you mention your assertion to anyone, then you will be subject to civil and criminal proceedings. If you remain silent on this matter, then we will not press charges on your outstanding infringements.
Thank you, and we hope not to hear from nor about you.
Something preceded the universe as we recognize the universe. Do the laws of physics regulate the universe's predecessor? God knows.
Your argument of "There is no point from which the Big Bang erupted. Time is parabolic that early on." suggests a point of inflection. What existed prior to that point of inflection? According to scientists, there are three potential cases:
elliptic
parabolic
hyperbolic
This is like arguing about imaginary numbers. I wonder if Professor Hawking used any imaginary numbers... Back to your point, originating at point zero is a potential according to the scientific community.
You state that "we can create the conditions needed to create a virtual energy density necessary to inflate a bubble universe", but speculated conditions to create another speculated condition (virtual energy density) to create another speculated condition (big bang) supposes a LOT of faith.
This is all fascinating.
I beleive Jesus Christ walked on this Earth, and Jesus is God. I beleive God created the Heavens and the Earth.
If you stumbled over a volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica while hiking through a forest, would you say "look at this naturally occuring book" or would you say "I wonder who left this here for me to stub my toe?"
According to the scientific community, a DNA molecule contains the equivalent instructions, in terms of volume, as a volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Do you say "look at this naturally occuring, random chance molecular structure" or do you say "Wow, the Grand Creator created this and my toe?"
Consider this, DNA requires protein, and protein requires DNA. Energy spontaneously tends to flow only from being concentrated in one place to becoming diffused and spread out (The second law of thermodynamics). In a universe of chaotic forces, why would random atoms coalesce instead of diverge? This question applies to the initiation of a lineage as well as the initiation of the universe.
We homosapiens share our biosphere with other species. Does it make sense that commonality exists?
I suspect Microsoft is trolling for patentable (or unpatentable) concepts related to Linux. If they find the concepts, then they will patent it. Perhaps Microsoft will claim they are patenting the concept on behalf of their "partner". Eventually, that "partner" will either be consumed by Microsoft or destroyed by Microsoft.
Perhaps Microsoft will arrange to conglomerate their Linux "partners" into one cohesive organization, I'll call it MicroLinuxSoft. Then, Microsoft can sue MicroLinuxSoft for patent infringement as well as copyright infringement because the protection and IP sharing contracts are similar to Microsoft's EULA, non-assignable and with Microsoft's newly implemented and patented non-transferrable stipulation.
Purging one's inbox seems similar to purging incomplete to-do tasks.
Sometimes, I make a judgement call to clear my to-do list of all tasks that fall under my pain threshold. I define the pain threshold as "what life impact will deleting this to-do incur?" I rate email requests similarly. If the request requires time to complete, I fire off an estimated time to completion. Also, I transmitted "this is not on my radar" messages.
Email is not dead. If a businessperson or academician decides to stop accepting email, then, IMO, that person commits career suicide!
Ron Paul is a Republican. He is under consideration by the Contitution Party as a potential nominee under their party, and it appears the people in the party strongly desire his transfer.
Libertarians believe in individual rights as well as social responsibility; furthermore, every Libertarian with whom I associate believes people have the right to the pursuit of happiness. Libertarians desire the return to the fundamental Constitution of the United States.
Before disparaging all people who beleive the best approach for the U.S.A. as a nation of freedom and liberty lies with the Libertarian Party, you should review the Libertarian Platform.

The task: replace failed XP box which runs a process control application.
The constraint: the process control application requires XP, only.
The procedure: administrator installs XP using various spare parts, and arrives at WPA dialog box.
The bottleneck: Microsoft responds with a simple text string: HaHaHaHaHaHaHaUpgradeNow
The result: sewage control gate actuators do not receive instructions from absent XP box!
