You guys will pick this apart, then whine because I'm not making sense, or replying to your posts.
If you see eight Fords sitting in a parking lot with ten other cars --- all ten different makes from ten other countries --- would you not conclude that the eight Fords all come from the same company?
Would you also conclude that the other ten cars are foreign cars?
In other words, you can easily spot the American-made cars.
(I know --- Fords have parts on them made from other countries, etc. You guys will pick this apart, then whine because I'm not making sense, or replying to your posts.)
This example has no bearing on the discussion.
The appropriate version is:
If you saw 8 Fords all sitting in among 10 other makes of cars from different countries, would you assume that the Fords were made by Zeus and Vulcan working together at Vulcan's forge and are therefore indestructible flying vehicles?
No, you'd say, well the Fords look the other cars in many many ways, therefore they are probably all human-made cars and all have various commonalities, including problems with the engine or occasional quality control issues, but will all do just what regular human-made cars will do, ie get in them, start the motor and drive on the ground to your destination.
You will have to drive them on the ground since none of them fly. You will have to pay attention while you drive because they are not indestructible, and you will have occasional quality issues because none of them were made by gods.
THAT'S the appropriate way to structure that analogy.

I read the first five lines, then quit.
Ok, but, I claim all the women.
Jesus would be so proud of you.I read the first five lines, then quit.

Celsus said:"the following are the rules laid down by them. Let no one come to us who has been instructed, or who is wise or prudent (for such qualifications are deemed evil by us); but if there be any ignorant, or unintelligent, or uninstructed, or foolish persons, let them come with confidence." - Origen's Contracelsus Chpt 44
Martin Luther said:Reason is the Devil's greatest harlot; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious harlot; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed harlot; harlot eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism... She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, to the closets.
Martin Luther, Erlangen Edition v. 16, pp. 142-148
As reason is the Devil's greatest harlot, I would be under the influence of this harlot if I reasoned that Luther's words are truth.But Luther further gilds the lilly with:

I'm not talking about tares growing within the pages of the Bible, Itself; I'm talking about other versions.
Once again, just compare the AV1611 with Its seven predecessors, and see if any tares have entered.
(Start with 1 John 5:7 --- the most likely place a tare would appear --- and you'll see none.)
(I know --- Fords have parts on them made from other countries, etc. You guys will pick this apart, then whine because I'm not making sense, or replying to your posts.)
Hmmmm, yeah I'd be willing to admit that my evidence is inconclusive.... but being inconclusive is not the same as leaning in the other direction.... suppose there's another "book" that says the Universe is 300 years old, and yet another says 500, and still another says 400 trillion years old (and suggests that the dalite aged super slow for most of that time and just appears a lot younger than it is).... all of those explanations get exactly equal plausibility....CHAPTER ONE
You hold in your hand a rock known as, let's call it, Dalite.
This Dalite emits one particle called a Dalon every year on January 1.
Analysis shows that the Dalite you're holding has 10 particles of Dalon embedded in it.
CHAPTER TWO
Absolutely without fail, observation shows that every time Dalite is formed (keyword: formed), it always forms with 100,000 Dalons embedded --- irregardless of the size of the rock.
CHAPTER THREE
Chris T. Ian claims that, according to The Book, this universe has only been in existence for 100 years, and the following converstion ensues:
YOU: Not so --- I have a Dalite rock with only 10 Dalons left. This is evidence that this rock is 999,990 years old.
CHRIS: Not so --- when God created (keyword: created) Dalite, He must have created it with only 110 Dalons (embedded age); but when it forms, it forms with a process that embeds 100,000 Dalons into it.
QUESTION
Would you be willing to admit that your evidence is inconclusive?
im this:
[bible]Matthew 17:20[/bible]
So basically, you can spot which cars are which. Wonderful. Now, which one of these was made to run perfectly? How do you tell which car is better than the others and is the car for you?If you see eight Fords sitting in a parking lot with ten other cars --- all ten different makes from ten other countries --- would you not conclude that the eight Fords all come from the same company?
Would you also conclude that the other ten cars are foreign cars?
In other words, you can easily spot the American-made cars.
But I'd still be justified in saying that whatever the age that the dalite appears to be, that's when God made it!!
But you don't. What you have been asserting all along is that Earth is both 6100 and 4500000000 years old, which is as impossible as it is unsupported.Then hows come I'm not justified when I say that whatever the age that the earth was at Creation, that's when God made it? (Which is what I've been asserting all along.)
