In essence: "Lots of people believe in God, and this supports my belief in the Vapor Canopy." Listen to what you're saying. [ Jesus rose from the dead, and the bible is full of miracles, as is the planet of men! Of course things support belief in a spirit world! Unlike granny.]
You're still advocating an unsupported assertion, now you're just adding the appeal to numbers fallacy (and a non sequitur, at that) on top of it. [ Hey some asked for some numbers, don't blame me!]

So you cannot demonstrate that the image posted is not the correct interpretation? Sorry if I'm not up on the loonie tune theories. I don't believe in any gaps, just 6000 years. And a known spirit world, that has known effects on the physical! God-O-Gaps is what happens when things previously though to be supernatural or supernatural in origin are demonstrated to have be natural or have natural orgins. Volacanos and tornadoes and eclipses etc.
Which is exactly what you're proposing. Science cannot currently explain something, therefore it must be supernatural and can never be explained.
Known effects you say? Like what? Your detection of an absolute proven quantity, you mean. The track record of science detecting it's way out of a paper bag is dismal
What are you talking about? Because of science we know why events previously thought to be supernatural occur. Seems like pretty good 'detection'. |

Out with it then. I should remind you that once you 'prove' the supernatural it ceases to be supernatural, and becomes natural. [You're catching on!. It is only thought unnatral to those of the box unable to see it or touch it!]
Strike Two: Again, your interpretation of the bible, which you have admited could be wrong. Sounds to me like your ideas are no more stable than the science you claim to be limited. [So my ideas are almost as unstable as science? I'm glad you said, 'almost'!]
You didn't even provide a forumula to test. ["Prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord..." And millions have. Don't think that the physical only science of the box is the grand exalted judge that all things must fit into!] Only your speculations and interpretation.
Could you explain how E=MC2 would be changed by your idea? [ The speed of light, when in a complete spiritual/physical state is limitless. Energy is not limited as it is here either. Mass is not physical only either. These are a few indications of the extent of change we are talking about here!]
Thatta boy. It wasn't that hard was it? [No]
Sounds nice, but doesn't answer the question.
Why is your interpretation correct, and others wrong? [Physical only science has only one part of the equation! We could not expect it to arrive at an answer regarding the big picture, and dates, and orgins.]
I wanna see some justification.

Don't befacetious, what I meant was evidence that stands up to investigation.
Which you have no provided, and I suspect you do not have. You're catching on!. It is only thought unnatral to those of the box unable to see it or touch it!
So you're agreeing with me that the supernatual is only refered to as such because it is currently outside the realms of science? So my ideas are almost as unstable as science? I'm glad you said, 'almost'!
I never said almost. I said 'no more stable'. Which means they are more unstable.
You admited yourself that your interpretation could be wrong. "Prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord..." And millions have. Don't think that the physical only science of the box is the grand exalted judge that all things must fit into!
This had nothing to do with what I said. The speed of light, when in a complete spiritual/physical state is limitless.
So I'm guessing the implications of this 'infinite speed' are negated as well?
(Isn't the heat from the sun caused by light emited from it impacting and releasing engery?) Energy is not limited as it is here either. Mass is not physical only either. These are a few indications of the extent of change we are talking about here!
Again, speculation and posturing.
"Wheres the beef?" Physical only science has only one part of the equation! We could not expect it to arrive at an answer regarding the big picture, and dates, and orgins.
But that wasn't what I was talking about.
Why is your interpretation of the layout of the universe as detailed in the bible, correct when others are not?
Nothing to do with science. |

I can accept that.
But I do expect you to give some justification of why YOU are correct. It can be explained, never, however merely with physical only explanations.
Good and bad spiritual forces even now are at work in the world, and can influence these things.
Behind the scenes things are at work you cannot see. Physical science can provide explanations for some things, but can not detect how also things can be affected by the spiritual. To say all these things are always only physical is to miss a lot!
Nice handwaving, but it doesn't work.
Can you say, with 100% certainty that the 'supernatural' will never be explained by physical means?
People once thought that epilepsy was caused by demons.
IOW, it was thought to be supernatural. Now we know better, that it is the result of increased electrical activity in the brain 'arc' between hemispheres and causing a 'cascade'.
This is an example of the 'supernatural' becoming natural. Healings, ressurection, answered prayers, esp, ghosts, demonic influence, angels, fulfilled prophesy, medicine men, etc, etc. etc.
Well done. Prove these and you'll get a cool million from James Randi. http://www.randi.org/research/ What a scream. Pretty good detection that does not even detect a spirit world? That does not detect it's past or future influences?
Pretty good detection that thinks physical present decay etc was always the same? The only thing box science is good at detecting is the box!
Then what do you suggest? |

I'm worried.
What if we approch an 'idiocy event horizon' from which there is no return? |

Which you have no provided, and I suspect you do not have.

I never said almost. I said 'no more stable'. [OK, so my ideas were so bad they were no more stable than modern science!] Which means they are more unstable.
You admited yourself that your interpretation could be wrong. [In the sense of taking the split all the way out to the flood, yes. Not in knowing there is a spirit world.]
This had nothing to do with what I said. [Proving God is a well known test]
So I'm guessing the implications of this 'infinite speed' are negated as well?
(Isn't the heat from the sun caused by light emited from it impacting and releasing engery?) [We won't need any heat from the sun any more. How things have to work in this physical only universe we see is great, but we cannot dream of limiting merged forever realities with pitiful, puny, present processes]
Again, speculation and posturing.
"Wheres the beef?" [The bible indicates that travel can trancend time and space. Spirit 'mass' has different properties, such as Jesus suddenly appearing, going through walls, disappearing, etc. Yet He still cooked and ate fish. Light and heat from the sun will no longer be needed. The light that reached us from distant stars could not have been our physical universe present light, as time would forbib that, it is too slow. Energy also will work different. We will not have to eat, but could if we wish. The sun will never burn out, as it is forever, so energy must work differently. etc]
But that wasn't what I was talking about.

Nothing to do with science. [In the sense that science has nothing to do with God, you are right. The point is, physical only science cannot be superimposed on a spirit affected world past, to the ommision of people's beliefs in a creator with any authority now. It cannot prove wrong the split, even when we understand it to have gone on till flood time. So don't teach children it can.]

Glad you are seemingly somewhat baffled. I guess I'm like the 'spirit/physics guy'! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
