But equivocation still means the same thing, as does theory. When it's not a theory, it is called a LAW.

No. In many ways theories outrank laws.

You are still conflating the generic use of the word "theory" with the scientific use of the word.

In science it is a very specific term.

Here is just one example that shows theories can supersede laws. Einsteins theories of gravity corrected Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Theories can correct laws.

Modern science no longer creates 'laws'; they only exist as historical names. It got too embarrassing when things like Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation turned out to be inaccurate. Theory is the strongest possible statement in science.

and a definition of theory is not subject to what the theory refers to.

The scientific definition of "theory" is different from the layman's definition. Scientific theories are not subordinate to facts. Scientific theories explain facts. Einstein's theory of general relativity is more accurate than Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Guessing(theory) is the strongest stance false science proclaims. Well thats boring and unproductive.

Im suddenly encouraged to claim truth seperate from false science.

14,

You are typing these messages on an electronic device.
I would wager that you live in a home that is served by electricity, gas, phone, etc.
I would wager that you drive in a car or bus or train regularly.
I would wager that you buy food from the markets - food that has been mass-produced and transported to you.
There's a good chance that you have travelled by plane.
I'm sure you have watched tv and have witnessed the evidence of our explorations in space.
Like me, I would wager that you can rely upon good medical care if you become sick or injured.

ALL of these things exist because of the process of science and because of the tens of thousands who have devoted their working lives to furthering our knowledge in these areas...

Pretty "unproductive", huh.....!?

Ummmm....that would be 'you're' not 'your'....

Oh...and I have found wisdom in reading the Greek myths, the Book of the Dead, The Brothers Karamazov, Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss.....but, none of them are real either.....

It'd be nice to thank you for being nice to a Christian on a forum for Christians.

This section of the forum is specifically in place to allow non-believers to participate on a equal footing with the religious. You have no special status here, any more than I do. I am therefore not required to afford you any more civility than I would anyone else.......Christian or not, if you present silly arguments they will be mercilessly dashed upon the rocks of reason and logic...

Ignore the wisdom, that isn't news.

So, the answer is no. You are incapable of following a conversation.

This is how the conversation just went because you don't read/understand:

I ask: What will happen next? Will they ignore or deny the argument?
You say: God is greater... ? (what?)
Then you respond with a post showing you ignored the argument.
I state that those who bet on "ignore" won the bet.
You say "Ignore the wisdom, that isn't news", I guess trying to say that I ignore wisdom or something, completely misunderstanding the context of every post you've read. But really, if you actually follow context, you would be remarking about yourself without realizing it.

What? WHAT?!? :confused:

Your lack of comprehension explains a lot about your beliefs and position.

How do you know the Bible is the Word of God?

How do you know that God wasn't lying?

How do you know?

The Bible also has two (or more) creation stories. Which one is true? If they are both true, how can we reconcile two contradictory truths?

Evidence suggests that it is not.


There are no "two" Creations of the physical world in the Bible. You need an Interpreter. Plain and simple.

That's one view, there are others you know.

You are use to "hearing men". You are in the arena of human opinions and dust facts.


Dare you become aware of His voice through His Spirit? Being void of the Spirit, and His work, prevails upon those tangled in unbelief and dust only perspective.
