So this guy is reacting to the " End of the World " news every day. I won't like , copy his news , but I will give you just small 5 cents on some Bible texts.



This is the news reaction guy.

Now my take on Bible.



Matthew 24.



Daniel.



Knowledge increase.



I would give you more.

But I feel like Watchman River guy is doing pretty good job, so no need for me to spam his news.

But I kinda feel like he missed this few points so I guess I can post those.

Hello.

I have the sensation the nearer i try and make myself from God, the more isolated i become from men.
Do you think the same, that it's possible it's not a mere sensation, please ?

After all, we live in dechristianised societies.
If societies reject God... This could bring about that, couldn't it ?

Hi Everyone,


I’m coming here because I need some advice. My marriage is in a tough place right now, and I’m scared it’s heading toward divorce. My wife and I have been seeing a counselor (not a Christian counselor), but we’re still so divided on many things.

One of the biggest issues is about having children. When we got married, we both wanted kids, but recently my wife told me she’s not sure she wants them anymore. That was painful for me to hear, but I’m trying to be understanding and compromise.

Another problem is communication. My wife often says that I don’t ask her about her feelings or open up enough. I was raised in a home where we didn’t talk about feelings, while her family has always been very open and emotional. I try hard to communicate better, but it feels like no matter what I do, it’s never enough.

I’ve recently started doing weekly check-ins with my wife where I ask her about how she’s feeling, how things are going with intimacy, and what I can do better. This has helped her feel more heard because I know I’ve struggled with communicating well, especially since I’ve also dealt with a porn addiction for most of my life.


Right now, I’m using Covenant Eyes and really trying to live in the light and stay accountable. But I haven’t been perfect. I messed up recently when Facebook reels showed me some explicit content, and I intentionally watched it, and she found it in my history. She felt completely betrayed, and I understand why. I’ve since deleted Facebook from my phone because that’s always been a weak spot for me. Facebook on my browser has accountability software, so I can browse safely. I made sure to tell her that I know I messed up and that I want to keep healing and fighting for purity.

But when we argue, she brings up all my past mistakes, the porn, my struggles with communication, or that I want someone who’s more intimate but less emotional. It really hurts because it feels like no matter how hard I try now, I’m still just the sum of my past failures in her eyes. I feel like the work I’m doing now doesn’t even get seen sometimes.

I want so badly for things to get better, and I’m trying to take real steps. I just wish she could see that I’m not the same person I was back then.

Recently, we got into a huge argument about politics. She said I don’t care as much as she does, and she wants a partner who shares her level of interest. I tried to explain that while I know it’s important, I just don’t feel as strongly as she does, and I wish that could be respected. But she this as not caring about what matters to her.

Finances are also a point of stress. We have a budget, and I try to explain where we are financially, but sometimes these conversations turn tense. She’s very unhappy in her job and vents about it daily, which adds more strain, and I feel the constant need to try and help her be happy.

Intimacy is another struggle. She’s unhappy with her appearance, so when I don’t initiate sex (and I'm scared too because of her unhappiness), she feels like it confirms her fears of being unattractive.

Another big source of pain for me is faith. In all this I have not been perfect either. I get angry easily because of all these things I feel like I'm juggling, I’ve said hurtful things and cursed when I shouldn’t have. I know that’s not how God wants me to behave, and I pray daily that He changes me.

I’ve asked my wife if we can talk to a pastor for help, but she doesn’t want the church involved. I feel so stuck because when I do try to communicate, it often feels like the blame is turned back on me. She says I should talk more about my feelings, but it’s exhausting for me because I’m already carrying so much at home, I do most of the cooking, cleaning, and caring for our dogs.

Lately, she brings up divorce a lot. She says she feels bad for me, like maybe I’d be happier without her. But I don’t want to give up. I’m scared, and I feel like I can’t talk to my church leadership because she doesn’t want them involved.

I feel alone and I really don’t know what to do to save this marriage. If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it.

Economist Milton Friedman argued that the massive Welfare Bureaucracy system in place in Canada and the USA was terribly flawed and needed to be replaced.

Dr. Friedman argued that replacing the Welfare System with Unconditional but Taxable Income Supplements would be the way to go because if these income supplements were dependent on somebody simply being a USA citizen or legal resident but have zero connection to their last year's income or last month's income, then very little bureaucracy would be needed.

I believe that women who choose to have an abortion often do so due to economic pressure and the stigma of facing life in our economy as a single mother.

I believe that a high percentage of abortions would probably be prevented in America and Canada set in motion Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income style Income Supplements.

If you do a search for Dr. Cindy Jacobs "Word for Canada 2018" you will find a message that she gives in which she predicts that the USA and Canadian dollars will go to par value.

My background is a little different than hers and so I have been thinking and thinking and thinking and praying about all of this and now I finally feel ready to present a thesis from logic that the key to addressing many of the problems facing Canada and the USA and all Christians is to take another look at the writings of Economist Milton Friedman and begin to research and pray about the possible ways that taking the USA and Canadian dollars to par value could be a win, win, win, win, win scenario for three hundred and forty million Americans as well as for forty one million Canadians.

I will soon give you a link into the a summary of the book "Capitalism and Freedom" by Economist Milton Friedman that I believe should be researched and certainly prayed about.

x. The Distribution of IncomeFriedman examines the progressive income tax, introduced in order to redistribute income to make things more fair, and finds that, in fact, the rich take advantage of numerous loopholes, nullifying the redistributive effects. It would be far more fair just to have a uniform flat tax with no deductions, which could meet the 1962 tax revenues with a rate only slightly greater than the lowest tax bracket at that time.

xi. Social Welfare MeasuresThough well-intentioned, many social welfare measures don't help the poor as much as some think. Friedman focuses on Social Security as a particularly large and unfair system.

Click to expand...

xii. Alleviation of PovertyFriedman regarded welfare programs as misguided and inefficient. To replace them, he advocates a negative income tax, giving everyone a guaranteed minimum income.

Click to expand...

xiii. ConclusionThe conclusion to the book centers on how, time and time again, government intervention often has an effect opposite of that intended. Most good things in the United States and the world come from the free market, not the government, and they will continue to do so. The government, despite its good intentions, should stay out of areas where it does not need to be.

So many people are fooled by the propaganda put out by jihadists and their supporters. This video puts forth the truth and the Hamas strategy:

Yeonsoo Go, a South Korean student at Purdue University and the daughter of a beloved Episcopal priest in New York, told a friend she was nervous about a visa hearing last week, given the stream of headlines about the Trump administration’s aggressive pursuit of immigration enforcement.

Her fears were realized when she and her mother left her hearing in Manhattan on Thursday to find US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents waiting for her.

Go, 20, was arrested and placed in federal detention nearby, before eventually being moved – like so many recent ICE detainees – to a facility in Louisiana.

Now, church communities in New York and South Korea are condemning her treatment by US immigration authorities and rallying for her release.

[ICE says her R-2 expired 2 years ago.]

But an attorney for the Episcopal Diocese in New York, where Go’s mother serves as a priest, said Go’s current visa doesn’t expire until December, and Thursday’s hearing was part of her application to extend it.

Or is it possible that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was taking advice from somebody so far up in CSIS that he was actually working toward making Joe Biden and Kamala Harris unelectable in 2024?

This seems like a strange theory but if we look back at these past nine years you might tend to become somewhat suspicious of what the very intelligent people in the life of Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were actually attempting to accomplish?

Could the CSIS connected members of the Liberal Party that Prime Minister Justin TRudeau was taking advice from have been out to back up President Trump and get him back into office by 2024 and was their goal to expose corruption in Ottawa as well as in Washington?

Perhaps this discussion would fit better in the "Conspiracy Theories" forum but when we look at this we cannot help but scratch our heads and wonder what in the world is happening.

Is Jesus exposing corruption within the governments of Canada and the USA?

Did Jesus set up the whole past nine years as a warning to all Christians about the future "Mark of the Beast?"

You all know that Adolf Hitler used the Nazi Party to spread rumours that special types of diseases could be spread by Jews and other groups of people that Hitler hated.



Canada tells us of Covid21 -the plan now what is coming

Recently, I am reading Experiencing Grief by H. Norman Wright. What struck me about the book was that his description of how grief affects people going through it was a more apt description for many intangible things I have lost over the years, not just loved ones who are asleep in Christ awaiting resurrection.

Here’s a list of things that I’ve lost over the years that I’m wondering how to properly mourn the loss of.

Jobs/Career Opportunities
Interests that I wanted to pursue (namely programming, I seem to lose that over and over again trying to get it back)
Time/College (I got my college degree but I lost 10 years of my life doing it.)
Personal safety
Personal stability
Self-respect
Self-confidence
Desire for Singleness (this was incredibly brutal to lose and made me feel like a spiritual failure)
Trust in God and ability to understand Him
Forum accounts (no, seriously, at one point I went to full trauma and grief over losing one of those. I had emotional priority issues back then.)

Any advice? For some reason I think the intangible losses are actually harder for me to grieve than the tangible ones. My default mode for an intangible loss is “get that back and make everyone who took it away from me pay!” which is sin nature loaded. It’s like sitting in front of God and being like a little child shouting “noooo! Give me that back! Evil unbelievers stole my toy!”. So if anyone has advice to help me construct a more faithful and mature response to this, I would appreciate it.

We who are in Christ, by biblical God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in the Lord Jesus, are the called of God to his service. Even before God formed us in the wombs of our mothers God knew us and he predestined us to be conformed to the image (likeness) of his Son Jesus Christ. Even before the ages began, before he laid the foundation of the world, he chose us in him that we should be holy and blameless before him. And in God’s book were written the days that were formed for us, before one came into being.

[See: Psalm 139:13-16; Romans 8:29; 2 Timothy 1:8-9; Ephesians 1:3-4]

So God has a unique plan and purpose for all of us individually as well as he has a collective purpose for us all, too. He did not call us to salvation just so when we die we get to go to heaven and not to hell. He called us to die with him to sin and to be reborn of the Spirit of God to now walk in holiness and righteousness, in obedience to our Lord and to his commands. And he gifted us with spiritual gifts and he assigned us our body parts within the body of Christ so that we will now live to fulfill his purpose for why he made us.

So God does not save us by his grace so that we can go on living in sin and for self and for self-pleasure and not in walks of obedience to his commands. He does not save us so that we can chart our own course and decide our own future and where we will live and what we will do with our lives while we might (or not) give him some of our time in a daily quiet time of Bible reading, and/or in attending a weekly “church” service. He has a very specific plan and purpose for each one of us he wants to do in us.

Now we are not all called to be prophets like was Jeremiah, but we are all called of God to be his witnesses in taking the message of the gospel of our salvation to the people of the world, teaching them to obey our Lord’s commandments. We are to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth in preserving and in spreading to the world the truth of what the Scriptures teach us regarding the gospel of our salvation. And we are to be those who proclaim the excellencies of him who called us out of darkness into the light.

[Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 28:18-20; John 4:31-38; John 13:13-17; John 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 26:18; Romans 10:14-15; Ephesians 5:11-14; 1 Peter 2:9,21; 1 John 2:6]

But if we are going to be the Lord’s servants and witnesses who are taking the message of the gospel of our salvation to the people of the world, we need to be students of the Scriptures who study them in their correct biblical context so that we make certain that the “gospel” we are spreading is the one that Jesus taught, and that his New Testament apostles taught, and not the diluted and altered version of the gospel that so many are spreading today in the name of Christ, and of truth, and of salvation from sin.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

And no excuses for why we cannot be who God created us to be, doing what he created us to do, as those who profess faith in the Lord Jesus. For I can attest to the fact that God can give us knowledge and talents and abilities beyond anything we would have ever imagined or even thought of. He can give us the words to speak and the lessons he wants us to communicate. We just need to be open to hearing from him and to following him wherever he leads us to doing whatever he had planned for us before we were born.

Everywhere He Sends Us
An Original Work / August 4, 2025
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

I haven’t been walking with the Lord like I should be. I don’t pick up my cross and deny myself. I’m stuck in lust.

My wife's friend had her baby a couple days ago, it was a difficult pregnancy wherein she learned the baby would probably have Down's Syndrome. I don't know if that's been confirmed or not but another problem is they have to perform surgery on her GI tract. I don't know the details beyond that but please pray for a successful surgery, a swift recovery, and a return to normalcy as much as God wills. Her daughter's name is Ana Lucia.

Thanks friends!

Was this just for Jeremiah? Or does God still speak to our hearts and minds, via the Holy Spirit, and show us things we did not know before? And is prayer just a one way street where we do all the talking and where God says nothing? Or is it two-way communion between us and our Lord where he speaks to us, and where he guides and directs us specifically in the way that he has for us, and where he opens our eyes to things we were previously blinded to? I believe it is the latter and not the former. The Spirit speaks!

Let me give you an example of this. In 2004, when the Lord called me to this ministry, he began opening my mind to so many things I had no knowledge of previously. He put in my mind names of people and places and objects and groups and events I never heard of before. And so I looked them up at a time when the internet was more wide open and not so locked down as it is today. And he gave me much understanding of all sorts of things I would never have chosen to adventure towards ever before.

And this covered such subjects as politicians, presidents of nations, the US government and military, the Bilderbergs, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, NATO, the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, Freemasons, Zionism, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the deep state, the WHO, Big Pharma, the WEF, the powerful elite, the New World Order, the All-Seeing Eye (national symbol), international law, the UN Bill of Rights, the shadow government, and Washington, D.C. history, etc.

And I was literally clueless about most all those subjects previously. Never heard of most all of them before. So God, by his Spirit, was making me aware of all these institutions, and so much more, because they all play a critical role in the rule of the beast, which is in motion, and which is certainly alive and active and rising presently. And he was teaching me about weather manipulation and all sorts of evils being committed by the US government and their political allies on a consistent and habitual basis.

And he did visit me in dreams, but the dreams were more like parables like Jesus told to the people when he lived on the earth, which taught biblical truth. And he has used such parables in my life ever since then to show me what he wants me to focus on and what message he wants me to convey specifically from the teachings of his word, not in any way to alter the truths of the Scriptures, but just to let me know what he wants me to focus on and to what extent, i.e. particularly where he wants the emphasis to be.

And all of this was happening in conjunction with my daily devotions, for he had me reading the Scriptures from start to finish, and then from the Psalms to Revelation for several years, and then from the Prophets to Revelation – all of this over a period of about 13 years before he had me begin using Bible Gateway for their “verse of the day” which he expands on with additional Scriptures. I have been using Bible Gateway primarily the past 8 years, though not exclusively. But as I read the Scriptures he began showing me how they were being realized today in our present day world events.

But it wasn’t just that. He was correcting some things I had gotten wrong from teachings I had received throughout my life from pastors who taught the Scriptures. And he was opening my eyes to biblical truth I had not discovered before in the Scriptures, that I had just not picked up on before. All from the Scriptures themselves and not from any outside sources, but just truth I had missed before. For when you read the Scriptures in their full context, but you haven’t done that before, it brings the truths together.

Now there are some people who will claim that we cannot hear the Spirit speak truth to our hearts other than through the 66 books of the Bible. And I agree that we need to be very discerning so that we are not led astray by those who are adding to the Scriptures what is not of God and that which is contrary to the will of God and to his teachings. But the Lord has so many things he wants to show us that we need to be made aware of and so that we don’t end up following the beast thinking we are following God.

For so many people today who profess faith in Jesus Christ are following after people and nations and governments that are not of God, and that are against God, in reality, which we would realize if we could see all the evil they have been doing throughout our lifetimes and times well before us. And so many professing Christians are believing the lies and the liars who have persuaded them as to their lies. And this fits perfectly with the teachings on the last days before the return of Christ and of the rule of the beast.

So I want to encourage everyone reading this to pray and to inquire of the Lord as to whether or not you are believing lies of the enemy, and whether or not you are putting your faith and trust in ungodly and evil people and rulers of nations, believing that they are of God, but may not be. For the Scriptures teach us to test the spirits to see which ones are of God, and we need to be diligent about that, for we live in an age of massive deception. And be students of the Scriptures who study them in correct context, too.

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

Things Which You Do Not Know

Please pray for Tony, his girlfriend is abusive to him, physically and mentally. They have a baby and he fears for her. He has reached out for help with a counselor and spoke to the police who came to the house. He was told he should try to get custody of his child. He is now saying he does not know what to do.

Hey everybody, I’m Matt. I grew up in a Lutheran family in Fargo, ND. Found my way to the beautiful shores of Florida. I’ve had a 39 year, very interesting, walk with God. One with lots of ups and lots of downs. Doubts, certainties, and endless questions.

I felt myself called here, open to seeing where this shall lead.

Cheers!

The fastest-growing Christian denomination globally is Pentecostalism, particularly its Charismatic expressions. Estimates suggest it has grown from fewer than 1 million adherents in 1900 to over 500 million by 2025, with projections to reach 1 billion by 2050. This growth, driven by high conversion rates and active evangelism, is especially strong in the Global South—Africa, Asia, and Latin America—where Pentecostals thrive in economically distressed areas, offering vibrant worship and community networks. Annual growth rates for Pentecostals and Charismatics are around 1.88%, outpacing other Christian groups like Evangelicals (1.8%) and Catholics (1.3%).

There are some people, some who preach the Scriptures, who believe that the only way that we can hear from God is through the written word of God in the 66 books of the Bible (Genesis to Revelation). And so if you were to say, “God said to me,” or “God showed me,” or “God led me to,” they would say that you are not hearing from God because what you said you heard from God was not a direct quote from the Scriptures. But is it true that none of us can hear God speak to our hearts apart from the written word?

In the following Scriptures we will learn that God does speak to us through his Spirit in words which may not be direct quotes from the Scriptures, but which align with the Scriptures and which do not contradict the Scriptures. For, as followers of Jesus Christ we are to be those who are being filled with the Holy Spirit, who are being led by the Spirit, who are living by the Spirit, and who are walking by the Spirit. And we are not to be resisting the Holy Spirit nor quenching the Spirit nor putting out the Spirit’s fire.

And I am going to interject this here. If I believed that I could not hear God’s voice apart from the written word of God, I would have refused the call of God on my life 21 years ago. I would not have written and posted on the internet what he was teaching me each day from the Scriptures. I would not have written the songs he put in my mind to write nor the poems he put in my mind to write nor would I have recorded the video devotionals he directed me to record, nor would I have written the Christian memes, either.

For all of that has been directed and inspired by the Holy Spirit living within me who shows me each day what Scriptures to read and to talk about, and who directs me in what to say, as he is doing right now. And this is not a bragging point, because all this comes from God, not from me. But if I refused the voice of the Spirit, God would not have used me to share his gospel daily with people in nations all over the world, via the internet. I would not be here, for this is not something I thought up of my own accord.

In summary, what the following Scriptures teach is that the Holy Spirit will give us words to speak, and he will teach us what to say. The Spirit will reveal things to us that are for us personally. And he will teach us all things, and he will guide us into all truth, and he will speak to us, and we will be able to hear him speak to us in our spirits. And some of us will prophesy, and see visions, and dream dreams from God kind of like the parables that Jesus used to tell, to illustrate biblical truth and to teach its lessons.

But in all of this, God must get the glory.

IF E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude...

Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) --- Making this eternal stuff... All mass is basically cooled plasma

Atoms - Encapsulated forms of energy and light - C2 in the denominator makes for the potential of a lot of energy!
Cells - Trillions of atoms within a single cell
Body - Trillions of cells in a human body

It would take quite the mind to create living organisms out of plasma energy!

For many of us, our first picture of Jesus came from a movie, a children's book, or a painting. It's the image of a soft-spoken man with long, flowing brown hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and often, a serene, almost otherworldly gaze. But is this familiar image a help or a hindrance to our faith? Does the "popular culture Jesus" distract us from the historical and biblical Jesus?

The Bible itself is notably silent on Jesus's physical appearance. We're given no description of his height, build, hair color, or eye color. The closest thing we get to a physical description is found in Isaiah 53:2, which prophecies that the Messiah would have "no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."

This prophecy suggests an ordinary, unremarkable man. And this makes sense—if he were incredibly handsome or physically distinct, it would have been hard for him to move anonymously through crowds, and Judas wouldn't have needed to point him out to the Roman guards.

This leads to a few key questions for our discussion:

• Why do you think God chose not to provide a physical description of Jesus in the Bible?
• How does the popular, idealized image of Jesus (often European in appearance) affect our understanding of his humanity and divinity?
• Does our focus on a specific visual representation of Jesus get in the way of our faith, which should be based on what we know of Him through the Word?

Let's discuss this together, grounding our answers in what Scripture tells us, not in what we've seen in art or on screen.

Our culture, and skeptics in particular who defend evolutionary theory, often criticize the believer who embraces God and Biblical creation as unscientific, ignorant and foolish. This, despite some of the greatest scientists in history openly expressing their belief in God, acceptance of Biblical creation, and rejection of evolutionary theory. Here are 10 such men that discovered many of the laws of science we value so highly these days.


The way I see it, the skeptic who criticizes Bible believing creationists infers their pride and ignorance not only upon current Christians, but upon some of the most brilliant scientists of human history. And for those that have no respect for these historical sources, I offer this exceedingly interesting video interview with the newest, perhaps smartest mind on the planet. Everyone on both sides of the creation/evolution issue is bound to realize this sooner or later. Best watch it now and reassess your views appropriately.

Feel free to leave your comments below, but I have no desire or intention of arguing creationism vs evolution with others here in this thread. I merely want to share this extraordinary video with others.

Psalm147:3 Pray the brokenhearted family & friends of all those who died Air India 171 crash on 12 June25 are healed & for the binding of their wounds:

Many fundamentalist theists want to reject the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection because they are not convinced by the available evidence to believe it has been proven true (Spoiler Alert: Nothing is ever proven absolutely true in science). These theists tend to reference skeptical counter-arguments from apologists and/or so-called "experts" who operate under the notion that divine creation should be the default position until the evidence they are demanding for the Theory of Evolution is provided as proof. The problem with demanding proof for the truth of Evolution is that science does not function to prove any of its hypotheses are absolutely true, and there are very good reasons for this.

To begin with, science requires its hypotheses to be falsifiable. The hypothesis that claims species evolve through a process of natural selection is, indeed, potentially falsifiable. Every time a qualified and reputable scientist conducts an experiment in a relevant field, there is an opportunity for the results to disprove the Theory of Evolution. In fact, the exact purpose of every scientific experiment is to try and disprove the corresponding hypothesis. So, what justification do scientists have for not attempting to prove their hypotheses are true? Isn't the primary purpose of evidence collection to prove a claim is true? No, such a perspective on the role of evidence would consistently leave scientists and their conclusions susceptible to Confirmation Bias. Accordingly, the Falsifiability criterion has been instituted as a mitigation for the possible influence of confirmation bias.

To understand how the falsifiability criterion secures the unmatched credablity and reliability of all currently accepted scientific theories, it is necessary to explore a little bit of philosophy. Let's begin with the Problem of Induction. Inductive reasoning is demonstrably unreliable when evaluating a claim because the resulting conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from the supporting evidence. An example of this fact is the inductive argument for the claim that all swans are white. At one point in history, swans had only ever been observed to be white in color. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to inductively infer from the evidence available at the time that all existing swans must be white. But how could the truth of this claim be verified to rule-out the possibility of confirmation bias?

To verify the claim's truth, every individual swan in existence would have to be observed to determine if all are white in color. Obviously, this evidence is not reasonably obtainable. Consequently, the possibility for a different colored swan existing somewhere unobserved could not be reliably ruled-out. So, the truth of the claim that all swans are white turned out to be Underdetermined by the available evidence. Therefore, the possibility of confirmation bias could not be ruled-out. However, it is important to note that a single observation of a different colored swan would function to reasonably falsify the claim.

As it happened, someone did eventually observe a black swan in Australia. This discovery reasonably demonstrated that the claim, "all swans are white," was a product of confirmation bias after all. So, while it wasn't possible to observe every individual swan in existence at the time to determine the claim's truth value, it was possible to reasonably falsify it. It logically followed from this outcome that falsifiability was a more reliable and justifiable criterion for scientific claims than the verifiability of their truth given the problems of confirmation bias, induction, and underdetermination.

The fact of the matter is that these problems are not unique to science but apply universally. Science may have uniquely solved these problems by implementing the falsifiability criterion for its hypotheses, but nothing seems to logically prohibit this solution from functioning in non-scientific contexts as well. If theists want to reject the solution provided by the falsifiability criterion, then they must provide a justifiable alternate solution to the universal problems of confirmation bias, induction, and underdetermination that equally apply to their religious claims about divine creation. Otherwise, despite the quantity and quality of the supporting evidence theists might have for their unfalsifiable creation claims, the unresolved problems of confirmation bias, induction, and underdetermination will provide a reasonable justification to dismiss their corresponding apologetic arguments as logically fallacious.

Meanwhile, the falsifiable Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection continues to survive all tests designed to try and disprove it. Accordingly, it is widely accepted as the most reasonable explanation. Please note that the acceptance of this scientific claim does not necessarily correspond to any assertions about it being absolutely true. Sure, many science communicators may colloquially refer to Evolution and other scientific claims as being "proven true," but such phrasing should be understood to mean that the theory is falsifiable yet has never been disconfirmed by any quanity or quality of evidence discovered to date. Therefore, all arguments rejecting the Theory of Evolution on the grounds that the available evidence is insufficient to prove it is true are fallacious and should be immediately dismissed.

At the same time, any suggestion that some quantity or quality of newly discovered evidence will function to falsify the Theory of Evolution should be carefully examined and considered. However, anyone defending the Theory of Evolution must be mindful to identify and expose where intellectual dishonesty exists in the objections they encounter. In all previous circumstances where such invalid objections have been made by duplicitous individuals, the proposed disconfirming evidence turned-out to be either manipulated or misrepresented.

For debate: Any arguments theists could give to justify the acceptance of unfalsifiable religious claims about divine creation in the absence of a solution to the universal problems of confirmation bias, induction, and underdetermination.

Eighth Sunday After Pentecost/


On the particular judgment: sermon on the eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Part-time Pennsylvania police officer arrested after taking inappropriate photos, videos of children at YMCA​

[A mom confronts him.] However, the man denied taking any pictures or videos, refused to identify himself and refused to show his phone. The mother then reported the incident to the YMCA lifeguards, who approached the suspect and asked for identification.

The lifeguard said the suspect refused to identify himself, but instead showed his police badge.

Investigators said the videos appeared to be taken by Mackrell, who can be heard making sexual comments about the juveniles in multiple videos.

According to the affidavit, Mackrell also serves as a youth monitor at Abraxas Academy, a multi-service facility offering secure residential treatment and detention services in Morgantown, Pennsylvania.
