• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Can your Cuckoo Clocks cure this?

Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.


Is this the fruit you wish to be presenting?

I'd buy tickets.

Explain this phenomenon ...

Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

... in such a way as to pass peer review and get acclaim in physics for showing how the second law of thermodynamics was suspended back then.

Easy: it's a myth

It is just a bronze age myth. A story told by people who believed the world was flat and in geocentricism! Not to mention talking snakes etc. ^_^

You obviously have misunderstood the meaning of peer review. A non scientific myth simply cannot be used to refute a fundamental scientific fact. You really have no idea how science works AV.

Whatever peer review is -- apply it.

How about submitting Deuteronomy 29:5 as an historical fact?
You really have no idea how science works AV.
And you don't know how my challenges work, do you?

Can you explain Deuteronomy 29:5 in such a way as to pass peer review and get your name in lights?

If not, why are you even posting in this thread, except to ridicule it?

I do not need to explain a myth. A myth is a myth and no matter how you try to dress it, there is no way a myth can be used to refute any law of thermodynamics. You have committed the cardinal sin of assuming a myth is fact!
Your challenge holds no water and certainly no scientific merit whatsoever.

Then if you don't mind me asking: what is your motivation for even posting in this thread?

Just to tell me Deuteronomy 29:5 is a myth?

Mind if I take that as harrassment?

I mean -- are you really that bored?

Dude.... :doh:

Before one can do such a thing, one would have to establish the facts. You didn't establish any facts. You copied some lines from a book. Everything about it suggests it's a myth. There are no facts to explain.

No facts to explain = no explanation to publish.
No explanation to publish = nothing to review.

Before one can explain how the 2nd law was suspendend, one must first show that it was actually suspended. You didn't do that.

We can't meet your challenge, because you don't actually have a challenge.

Get to it then.

Use that 20/10 science to establish the facts.

You didn't establish any facts.

That's right.

I didn't.

I didn't make this thread for me.

This challenge is for you to explain it.

You copied some lines from a book.

I quoted a Bible verse.

God bless America, eh? :)

Everything about it suggests it's a myth.

Here we go again.

There are no facts to explain.

Thanks for your ... um ... input then.

No facts to explain = no explanation to publish.
No explanation to publish = nothing to review.

Nothing to review = nothing to post.

Before one can explain how the 2nd law was suspendend, one must first show that it was actually suspended.

Get to it.

Let's see that fabulous 20/10 science in action.

You didn't do that.

That's right.

I didn't do that.

I didn't make this thread for me.

This challenge is for you to explain it.

We can't meet your challenge, because you don't actually have a challenge.

Bye-bye then.

Exposing your intellectual dishonesty and fallacious reasoning.
That's nice.

You can't answer my challenge, and it's my fault ... right?

On the contrary my good man; all I have done is point out to you that your challenge is flawed.

1: Bible quotes are religious quotes and have no scientific bearing. The Bible deals only with the spiritual world.

2: The laws of thermodynamics are scientific laws and have no religious bearing. Science deals only with the physical world.

To quote an old adage: "You cannot compare apples to oranges". Apples and oranges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :wave:

Yes. Because your challenge is invalid.

You present unsubstantiate religious beliefs and pretend that they are facts. Your "challenge" is for us to explain those "facts".

But what you present as "facts" aren't actually "facts".

It's like asking someone to dissect a chicken and find the kidneys. Only instead of giving them an actual chicken to dissect, you're giving them a plastic apple.

One can't rise to the challenge of pulling the kidneys out of a chicken when instead of a chicken, you're giving them plastic fruit.

Get your act together first and ask a real question.
