I am either regular high or ultra high.

No they didn’t, but an incompetent “government” discharging COVID patients from hospital straight into care homes, because of a shortage of hospital beds, did.

“Well, I don't believe that the Bible teaches any sort of predestination.” Even coming from an Arminian, that statement is unbelievable. Have you ever read the thing? “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus...

Even if it is objectively true that the first single cell organisms was created directly by God, it still wouldn’t be science, because there is no way of reasoning from empirical facts to the conclusion “Therefore the Christian God.” It will always be a matter of faith, no matter how suggestive...

Sorry, but brand new is brand new. The age of the wood it is made of is 100% irrelevant. In any case, the wood in the outer rings of the tree will be younger than the wood on the inner rings of the tree.

But she isn’t, and the canoe isn’t a thousand years old.

That just has to be capstone of creationist logic.

That “abridged and edited version,” is typical of the reconstructions to be had from scholars such as Geza Vermes or Paula Fredriksen. Neither of them are Christians.

If you are to be believed, he did. When you make something, it is by definition brand new. A forger can try to give an “antique” he made yesterday the appearance of age, but it would still be brand new. So to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, shall we add God the Forger or...

He wouldn’t be accused of anything if he didn’t create crystals in a deliberately deceptive state. Zircon crystals are only used to extract the chemical element zirconium, and they can be any old age for that. Unlike the crystals, there is nothing in the chemical element to betray how long...

Rubbish again. If the creation was miraculous it wouldn’t take even one nano second to create zircon crystals with all the appearance of being billions of years old. A mere act of God’s will would bring it about instantaneously.

Rubbish. It might be science if Behe & Co could make good on their claims, but so far they haven’t.

Why, pray, did God create zircon crystals, which show every sign of being billions of years old when, in fact, they are only 6,000 years old? Did he have to create them as “adults?”

It is a out time that one was put to rest. An Atheist Historian Examines the Evidence for Jesus (Part 1 of 2)

I kinda guessed that. Just as there are enough pieces of the true cross to populate a rain forest. It was a rhetorical question.

Intelligent Design, with a capital ‘I’, as championed by Behe & Co, tries to claim that there are aspects of nature which actually require the existence of God for their explanation. All of the examples they have put forward so far have been explicable without reference to God. On the other...

Even if it could be carbon dated to the first century, I would like to know how they could be sure it belonged to a particular person.

Treating somebody as an object is sinful, but being sexually attracted to them is not.

I’m not sure I even understand the question.

If he was fully human, he would have had no conscious control over his reactions to a nubile young thing. In any case, who says sexual attraction is sinful?
