  • 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.

Christianity is false!

The most distant galaxies exert a pull on you, as you do upon them--immeasurably tiny to be sure, but present just the same.

:) Seek and ye shall find

Mathew 13-13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
Close as I could get in a few minutes :)
No, no, the idea of time dialation surely works. That's fine.

But the idea that there is time dialation such that the earth is moving considerably slower than the rest of the universe rests on the proposition that the earth is at the center of the universe, which is simply untrue. Were it true, we would observe a blueshift instead of a redshift in our astronomical findings.

Ohh. I see your thinking. Nah I just meant within the Earths gravity well. Which is also within the suns gravity well, and the center of the Milky Way galexys well. Combined bending of spacetime could be considerable but I don't think it would be enough to even get close to such a huge dialation. We don't know much about anti-matter or dark-matter yet but it all goes nicely with another of my favorite rejoinders. "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" "As many as God wants." hehe, so, like, "How many billion years could God squeaze into a day?" You see the analogy :)
