If you knew the answer to the question, you would know what I'm getting at.
The topic was wisdom, and you somehow claimed the question was a 'scientific' one, no?
Is that your demonstration of self-righteousness then?So for a self-wise to call a person self-righteous is ... shall we say ... ironic.
Notice what Paul says here:Is that your demonstration of self-righteousness then?
I was born foolish and carried on that way until I get enough of the board of education applied to the seat of knowledge to increase wisdom in me.
So you accept and embrace brutality as the means of improving your knowledge?I was born foolish and carried on that way until I get enough of the board of education applied to the seat of knowledge to increase wisdom in me.
"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will drive it far from him" (Proverbs 22:15).
So says the human author of such parables ..Notice what Paul says here:
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Parables?So says the human author of such parables ..
I see a continuing process of acquiring wisdom, with reflections upon mistakes made along the way.How many times have you seen that "parable" fulfilled?
None.AV1611VET said:Specifically, how many atheists do you know who claimed to be Christians at one time, and now are not Christians because they had questions their pastor couldn't answer?

Thus we are wise by virtue of the fact that we are human beings.
So for a self-wise to call a person self-righteous is ... shall we say ... ironic.
I put what I believe right up front for all to see.Wow, that deserves a Buckley:
"I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting you really believe what you just said" - William F. Buckley Jr.

How about you?
Believe me ... I don't think that.In case you missed it, I was talking about your idea that naming our species 'homo sapiens' makes us wise;
For the most part, yes.FrumiousBandersnatch said:You may put what you believe right up front, but do you believe all that you put right up front?
So you made an explicit claim that you don't think is true...Believe me ... I don't think that.
Maybe you had better read what I wrote again:So you made an explicit claim that you don't think is true...
Evolution can take a hike.My point is that, according to evolution, we are "Homo sapiens," which means "wise men."
Some level of mitochondrial heteroplasmy is found in most, if not all cells. High levels are associated with a number of different diseases, including cardiac. But so what?
So link to the video then. Otherwise I'm beginning to think that we're all getting hustled, because when asked for this supposed evidence all that you ever do is at best give us a link to the website where we can buy the books and videos.if any of you ever researched such things you would hear on video Q&A such as chain of custody issues discussed.

Is that it? Are we getting hustled? If not, give us the evidence already.
I just got interested in out of body experiences.
The books cost me £50. 4 total
Pretty much what it cost to study Double slit quantum experiments and philosophical theories on the meaning of the outcome.
Another £50 4 total
But then I’m interested in Lourdes cures.
Another £50 , 5 books.
The shroud.
Now that was expensive, at least 15 books.
I’m guessing £300 some are expensive.
Eucharistic miracles probably 10 without counting them.
