I think I'll take your advise and not read what you have to say.

Okay let me see if I understand all of you supporting that God is unleashing his wrath on the USA. God didn't care about the sin in the USA until homosexuals wanted to have equal rights and a legal form of marriage or partnership. Something about that apparently causes God's grace to be shut off...

This is a problem one I would say. For one your wife has an issue of confidentiality with the previous pastor and his wife; as she was both a friend and on the staff. Also, it can be unfair to burden the new pastor with issues that involved the previous pastor. IMO definitely do not talk to...

Premises do not lead from one to the other. You're argument therefore is not valid.

I don't believe in evolution; I accept that evolution has and is occuring. I also accept that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. As a Christian I do believe that everything was created by God.

Mark, I would submit the position I have taken. That Genesis is not to be taken literally but taken as a piece of literature that simply says God created. Timelines or trying to say the order of creation even does not matter. It is simply God created. Another reason I take this position is...

Actually that is a misconception by many of the genealogies in Matthew and Luke. They are not complete. There are gaps in places. I admit I accept that the Universe has been around for about 13.5 billion years and the earth for around 4.5-5 billion years. I accept that God created everything...

Anyone interested in playing Fantasy Football? I have a league that is just for fun - no money involved, just good fun. If you are interested reply or send me a PM so I can give you information on how to join in. Draft will probably be this weekend or early next week.

It wouldn't take any of these things. However, I will admit I almost renounced my faith because of how other Christians treated me. The lack of grace and love that sometimes is displayed in the church makes me really wonder sometimes. But I have not lost my faith as of yet and it is stronger...

We are to serve God not the other way around. Tithe is a charitable offering in my view as a result once I have given it away it is not up to me what happens. However I do like something I heard Anthony Campolo once say, "God here is my 10% do with it as you will. If I starve now its on you."

Still would be a bad business decision and that scripture is full of proverbs about making foolish decisions.

You're trying too hard there.

Actually a blocking effect is exactly what is happening as this image illustrates. As for your video of the sun. That was a video simply taken after the sun had cleared the horizon. The tail is a result of diffraction with both the wave effect of light and light going through the atmosphere...

No I never said the buildings disappear. I am saying the curvature of the earth is blocking the view of lower buildings. Your space example fails as you are describing an unobstructed field of view. I continue to think you don’t know what you are talking about.

Law of Perspective is an art term not Physics. Plus, that photo image I share is of both a close picture of the Chicago skyline and a distant zoomed in photo. You don't know what you are talking about.

Premise 2 does not lead directly to premise 3. Your logic is flawed. This is like the argument: All Hares are White. Paper is White. Therefore; A Piece of Paper is a Hare. In your logic you ignore all the other buildings that are not visible.

I stand corrected in my statement.

What you don't believe a telescope can see beyond 52 miles?

Compare them the order of creation is different. They are two stories that the author of Genesis stitched together.

Put a drop of water on a flat surface - it will be concave. Water in a gravity free environment (such as space) will form a sphere. This is because of how the molecules attract each other. Facts do show curvature. I live in Chicago, you can calculate the curvature of the earth by looking across...
