I'll pass.

Miracles can do much more than magic.

Indeed -- they can inspire worship.

 

[TLK Valentine]

And we can count on unbelievers interchanging them, can't we?

Nah, we know the difference: "magic" is the diminutive term for the other guy's "miracle."

I dont care if you are a beliver or not. Words have meanings, I use the ones that I find correct.

Like "nihilism"?

 

[VirOptimus]

Like "nihilism"?

Why do you ask?

Only try that with a giant cake, instead of paper, and see if any "cracks" show up.

Take a giant cake and tear it into five big pieces, without creating any fault lines or wrinkles or anything marring the surface of the five pieces.

Good luck.

Don't have a cake handy, but a sheet cake should be pretty easy to do that with. split the paper it's on and there should be enough force to tear the cake as you've described, though it would resemble a paper tear rather than a meander I suspect.

 

[[serious]]

Five.

You're either forgetting the Panama canal, or you're forgetting the Suez canal.No.It's both.

"When I pull you apart, thou shalt split where I say 'split'"

Got it now?

(Either that, or all the others that split, He said, 'Get back there!')

Again, only Peleg and his generation knows for sure.

Nope, what's the quote from?

I thought I explained the meanders quite well ... salted with Bible verses?

Me.

I made it up for clarity.

not so well that it was understandable, so no, you didn't explain it well at all.

Well, you missed on the clarity part.

Too salty?

As expected.

We discussed this in Post 43, didn't we?

If the Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River, wouldn't you expect it to be widest at the top than at the bottom?

Yes.

It is wider at the top, therefore it is most likely to have been formed by the Colorado River.

Take that, creationists!

I guess the "Flood forming the Grand Canyon" idea can take a hike, eh, AV?

Seriously?? These posts are the epitome of epic pointlessness.... -_-

Can I have a go? Here's one!-: How much does Peter Pan weigh when he's flying? Serious discussion pls!

 

[AV1611VET]

That's a value judgment that's hers to make.

And overlooking the not so important can also lead to overlooking the important.

Just ask the sci... er ... engineers that built the Titanic.

Is he flying up or down?

Weight occurs when gravity is resisted.

In fact, I use that very example to define religion:

Just as weight occurs when gravity is resisted, religion occurs when the Bible is resisted.
