My Snowman Challenge

[AV1611VET]

I create this guy ex nihilo:

Immediately true or false: he is partially melted?

 

[Cabal]

Please don't tell me this is an oblique reference to tektite formation....

 

[selfinflikted]

I move to petition the higher-ups to create a subforum for AV's "Challenge" threads. That way, I won't even have to look at the thread titles any more.

True.

 

[pgp_protector]

So you're god now?

 

[Cute Tink]

I see no evidence to confirm or deny that this snow"man" is a "guy"... Therefore, I declare your challenge failed.

Silly, you have to ex nihilo the snow first.

 

[Orogeny]

I'm pretty sure nobody would create that hat ex nihilo. Surely your taste isn't that bad, AV. I mean, you could create ANY HAT YOU WANT and you chose that one? Nah. Just...Nah.

I am not real comfortable with the concept of nothing. Even to say something comes from nothing is nonsense. The Bible talks about things we can not see, but that does not mean nothing.

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 cor 4 18

Wow... I agree with you again! Even GEN 1 doesn't start with nothing.

I ... um ... shall abstain from commenting here.

Aww Avet. That's too bad. You should have simply created the unmeltable snowman. Would be better for proving your point.

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope -- North Pole, middle of the Sahara, or in the Mariana Trench, it doesn't matter.

I will admit though, I almost came back and changed it to ex materia, but chose to leave it as is.

Genesis 1, vis-a-vis McGraw-Hill 1, is about as out-of-place as a roller skater at a figure skating exhibition.

Okay ... I'll give you a point for that one --

Not too many people are, and it causes them to err, in my opinion.

As I said, I almost changed it to ex materia, since Adam & Eve were created ex materia, not ex nihilo, but decided against it.

Even to say something comes from nothing is nonsense.

Yup --

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Perhaps that is why they say to error is human. We know that Science is filled with error. Although Science is considered to have less human error because of the scientific method they use. The only thing I know free from error is the Bible. God watches over His Word to do and to perform what He says He will do. So the Bible remains true. Generation after generation finds the Bible to be true for them in the time they live.

I know, but won't you agree that it takes a scientist to err over nothing --

I mean, a little child is not going to understand the concept of ex nihilo -- but even new converts can understand nothing.

It takes someone with a real education to misunderstand nothing.

Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

I think creationists are the only people I've ever met who think education, knowledge and intelligence are a disadavantage.

I think creationists are the only people I've ever met who think education, knowledge and intelligence are a disadavantage.

And I think atheists & scientists are two types of people who show us right.
