You make no sense, your argument follow no path of logic, period. Your leaps of assumption are unstated and apparently so unfathomably large so as to not be mere 'leaps' but rather grand voyages involving a great panoply of vessels equal to the spanish fleet squared. Your argument this whole...

Feelings =/= facts. Einstein died after a long illness, and died in his sleep in the hospital after an aortic aneurysm. He wasn't recorded as giving a conversion up to the point that he went in the hospital, he wasn't recorded going to churches, he didn't change his will at any time during that...

Well, now that that titillating potential for a fun conversation turned to bollocks, its bedtime for me. Tally-ho good 'gents, and rest well in your slumber.

I'm afraid I find the proof backing such an assurance woefully lacking. If I felt said insurance had any teeth I'd be a bit more religious. In any case, you can't presume a deathbed conversion based upon your belief that someone is burning in hell otherwise, without tangible proof, you are doing...

While this has nothing at all to do with my post, what proof do you have that Albert Einstein had a deathbed conversion? //as a side note, the fact that so many theists resort to the dishonest tactic of inventing deathbed confessions when none happen has sparked an interesting phenomena among...

I've seen it touted on here several times that Albert Einstein was a Christian, and used that to prop up some populum fallacies and whatnot. I hadn't debated such things because the religions of historical figures is neither an interest, nor a speciality for me. I did just come across this...

I don't want to discuss it too far because it will derail the thread, I just wanted to make sure anyone considering such a thing knows that they risk their own livelihood when they consider taking the livelihood of someone else. A CHL is a Concealed Handgun License. Basically, it means that I...

Dominion does not mean 'waste willy nilly' You can have dominion over something and still nurture it carefully to growth- Think of a cattle farmer. If they slaughter all their cows they have none ot breed and hence no new cows. If they keep selling all the calfs for veal their stock grows too...

I'd like to see the math on this, however I bet you it can't be done with fixed magnets. Insert an AC current and you can keep a magnet rotating, but then we have an electric motor, and you'd just be converting electric energy to mechanical only to go back to electrical, thereby getting less...

I just wanted to give a warning to any would-be gay bashers out there: Not all of us are easy victims, many of us have CHL's and use them. So regardless of if you think its your right to destroy another person's life, expect to eventually pay your due for the death and pain you cause. This has...

While two attractive objects (ie, 2 magnets) separated from each other possesses potential energy that is readily converted into kinetic energy, this is, at best a battery. Let's look at two possibilities for harnessing energy from the attractive force of these two objects. First we must device...

Death is predicted by all kinds of superstition. It's also a mechanic of evolution. If things didn't die then iterative progression would be impossible, therefore evolution predicts the necessity of death. Oh no, we have a problem: 2 postulates predict the same thing! The logical next step is...

Good call, just a few posts later we have AV making this exact argument.

If you make a claim, that claim can make a prediction. If your claim's prediction is testable, then it can be used to prove or disprove the claim. Now let's look at this whole 'sin' and 'fall' argument. What's the mechanism by which the sin or the fall would create a pattern of morphological...

"Which are the OTHER PEOPLE’s DESIRES? So we can evaluate those desires." What are the desires of any individual? I want to get my PhD and develop human-level AI. My mom wants to set up a stable life for her kids so they get all the benefits they can give them. My friend wants to setup a...

*laughs* Okay, I just watched the 'newton' videos for this where the 'inventor' explains more about it. His entire idea stems from a misunderstanding of the definition of power. p = v*I (power = voltage * current ) Seems to be an equation this fellow doesn't comprehend. He's conflating current...

I think I found the unknown source of energy in that demonstration: The red cable in the background. :-p This is simply demonstrating the basic principles of AC current we see in use in electric motors. The fans in your computer generate no more free energy than this device.

So, it can be said that creationism makes a couple predictions. Creationism purports an intelligent creator, and that A species cannot over time become another species. Given this, we can say that creationism predicts that if a simple and efficient method of doing something in biology exists...

Free energy is a fools game. While we don't know everything there is to know, it would take a pretty monumental upset of science to create a circumstance in which infinite energy is possible. Energy is conserved- When you have a spinning disc, unless you put more power into the motion, you can...

My understanding is that the OT rules people proclaim to be valid are in some way validated in the new testament, therefore they're not actually following OT rules, but rather reiterations or confirmations of OT rules in the new testament. Since I'm not a bible scholar, I cannot say the validity...
