Satan and his angels do not have the ability to create. Here is a resource for some study
ToLiJC, you are spot on with your quotation of verses. It is important to be not decieved. But it is beyond the power of Satan to create anything. He is himself a created being. He can manipulate the created things however. Especially if some human person give himself over to him. Actually, he can not manipulate anything unless he has a living person to operate through. Without that he can still whisper into our mind. And I believe, that is about it. That is how much he can do.
Impressive Peter, thank you for the insight. I have a B.S.E from Jacksonville St. Univ. (1972), M.Ed. Univ. of Memphis (1975), M.S. Univ. Memphis (1977). The latter is in Earth Science, which consists of Oceanography, Geology, and Climatology. My area of concentration was Paleoclimatology, with my thesis on the occurrence and causes of continental glaciation, in which Plate Tectonics plays a major roll with respect to continental position and configuration. I'm retired now but spent most of my professional career as a research chemist and process engineer in private industry. I also have some 7 yrs. teaching experience as well.Yah,
First I studied for 2½ years at the technical university of Denmark. which is number 149 in the world on some list. Then I made the rest of my education at Roskilde University, which is not even on that list (which made the boss of the Roskilde University reply that those lists are amateur work).
My professor at my thesis was this one: http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tove_Atlung
In my thesis I had to develop a new experimental setup - to use a column coated with DnaA protein to "fish" for proteins interacting with it. It had been done with interaction with DNA. You could actually fish the DNA sequences that bound to the protein. But as far as my project went, it did not "succeed" with the protein-protein interactions. I can tell you, I really searched and searched the literature to find a trick that would make the setup work. That would have been a feat, and certainly worth an article in a scientific journal.
Well again, I have to ask why you would embrace the peer review literature in your own field and completely ignore it in a field you know nothing about? And being familiar with scientific methods, you should know that models are not based vague ideas, rather actual observed data. But aside from that, plate movements and their directions are now measured by GIS. The fact that we can physically back-track those movements with respect to latitude and their time frames is how we know about the supercontinents Gondwana, Laurasia, Pangaea, Pannotia, Rodinia, Columbia, Kenorland, Ur, and Vaalbara.
Again, thermodynamics 101, think about the energy to move such masses, and what mechanism moves them?
Few people recognize my avatar which is that of Alfred Wegner, the person who proposed the original theory of "Continental Drift". Wegners theory was not accepted by the scientific community because he could not it could not explain the mechanism that could have moved the the continents. However, after WWII oceanographers and marine geologists begin mapping and taking core samples of the oceans. In doing this, they discovered the magnetic reversal striping of the sea floor increasing in age as it moved away from the oceanic ridges that were extruding new magma. They also discovered subduction zones where the oceanic plates were subducting into the mantle. Thus it could be seen that upwelling from the mantle explained the oceanic ridges and mechanism for plate movement. With this new information, orogeny processes became much more clear explaining how oceanic plates could be pushed up as mountain ranges.
Indeed.
Its just that I've seen a lot of involvement by the mods lately pointing that out. And I must say, I'm glad to see that involvement.
Another thing I would to do while evaluating the scientific literature is to see what the objections to the consensus exist. Usually in my experience, those differences involve new and updated data or just something to do with details that don't really change the consensus at all.
You remind me of another poster here: Thaumaturgy.
