Trust me, I don't doubt that for a moment!Inspiration is very human. Darwin experienced it when he arrived at the theory of evolution.
Maybe, but are you sure it is not merely math, and thinking, and deduction?Einstein experienced it when he formulated the special theory of relativity.
At least in Darwin's case, I think we can be certain of that! But remember, inspiration or spirit influence comes not just of good spirits.Don't think God had much to do with either of those.
Nope, the whole idea of eternal salvation involves God, and the spiritual. Without that...what you see is what you get!Salvation is a very human concept too,
They are listed in the epistles. Here is someone's take on what they are from a googled site..but it's always fun to hear your idea of salvation, dad, and especially what you think happens to those who aren't saved. Spiritual gifts....you tell me. That seems to be more your domain. What can you mean?
Stop it, you're cracking me up.I'd be more convinced that you did if you'd specifically said, "I know that I'm human". I notice that you dislike being called on this point. Interesting.
Human ability ends before God's spiritual help begins, we might say. When Peter preached to multitudes, thay all heard hiim in their own language. That has nothing to do with human ability.I see. That's the extent of it is it? What Paul said didn't mean much to me, perhaps it does to you. Perhaps you'd tell me what it means to you, particularly pointing out the differences between a spiritual gift and a natural human ability.
When a man cheats, and uses God's cheat sheet, the revealed word of God to man, he can tap into God's wisdom.Groan, here we go again. You are "not a fan of man's wisdom". It might be worth reminding you again that you are a man too. You're wisdom is subject to the same criteria as everyone else's, although this seems to elude you. The fact that you are not troubled by this double standard and see no internal conflict in your logic is what leads me to the conclusions you don't like.
Long as I know that so called science is defeated, and exposed, and truly a con job, and wrong, and know that they really cannot prove their wild eyed lies, that is victory. If any others ever share in that with me, fine. If not, I guess they will have to wait to see...No, you read the bible and then started making up rubbish to make the real world fit the bible. In other words, you stopped thinking. Probably didn't bother to read much of anything else either. You certainly haven't conquered, In fact, how many people have you persuaded of your ideas again? (If you've forgotten, that was one of the questions you've avoided answering in this thread. One of many.)
You joking? Have you ever looked into who the author was? Is that the list written on the back of some parchment? Well, maybe it was the village idiot, hired as kitchen help??I provided the King's list you hold so dear. Are you going to say it is wrong now as well?
Very very easy. The 2000 years are real years! Here is the formula, simplified. Look at the oldest, the first ruler on the list. Who was it, and how are the "dates" arrived at? --We don't need to go any further back than that.So how can 3,000 years worth of Egyptian rulers fit into a period of less than 2,000 years?
Well, apparently knowing good and evil, and having chose the good in the end is a valuable lesson. Remember, eternity is a long long time.Then why didn't God just do that from the beginning? Isn't that the basis of the argument for him giving us the choice in the first place?
Does that mean you have some proof they never happened?So you think the historical truth is more important than the spiritual truth? Does that make Jesus a liar if his parables never literally happened?
Then you will have to stick to the present! My point exactly.We are not replacing God. We are merely attempting to describe the events of the natural world in natural, testable means.
That either the heart came near the time when the changeover took place, or that folding former state matter does not require or produce the heat present state matter would, of course!What do you mean? We know in this "present" state that geologic folding is caused due to to plates slowing being pushed together. The heat generated from the intense pressure causes the rock to bend and fold. That is the explanation we use. What would your explanation be?
Nope. That was last weekApparently you do. Do you not claim to be "God's little echo"?
Physical only matter is what we have now. Spiritual and physical, merged matter, is the stuff of eternity. Jesus had a spiritual and physical body after rising from the dead.Yes, and planes fly because? What exactly is "spiritual matter"?
NoIt is pillow lava. You have already state you did not have a problem with pillow lava forming underwater. Now you are trying to backtrack because I got you.

I am trying to extract a point from you. Forming stuff is easy. We just need details on the stuff. For example, was it in an area where heat was produced by the continental move, thereby affecting the old formation? etc etc..
Then you provide the Egyptian kings list that you go by. Let me see what you have. Put up or shut up.
Look, the oldest are supposed to be spirits!! That is what you are up against here. Finding some flesh and blood woman from actual history will not help you.Or how about start at Cleopatra and work backwards.
Ask Him. My guess would be that real knowledge is best tasted.Then why didn't God just create us with the knowledge of good and evil?
No. But that would sharpen it greatly.So you are claiming a story has to be literally true to have a point?
Speak for yourself. I am no longer using the temporal state to explain the created one.We are. We are using the present to explain the past. If the explanation works using present phenomena, there is no point to assume the past was "different".
Simple. Physical science covers only physical things. The created state involved the spiritual.How? Could you provide an explanation as to how "former state" matter would not require or produce heat? From what you just posted, the only difference between "present state" folding and "past state" folding is that the latter does not produce/require heat. What would be the scientific explanation for this and why?
Well, I think what we are looking at is merged matter in the past and future...both. If you want to know how it is different you need to know about the spiritual. Science doesn't!!! Really. That means it is out of the loop. It should be quiet and act like the fool it is.So what is "spiritual matter"? How is it different from physical matter?
Was there ever water in that area? Careful....then, can you prove that this formation happened at that time precisely? Or not? Etc... I don't read crystal balls, like so called science. I need details, evidence, facts..The pillow lava formation was in the middle of the Australian desert. Pillow lava forms underwater. If the pillow lava formed during the supposed flood, then that means it formed underwater in the "past state" the same way it forms now. If it was formed by a different means in the "past state", then you need to provide a viable scientific explanation as to how pillow lava would not be formed underwater.
Then there is the issue of what was actually being said!!
"It is strange that the writer should choose to note the age of a king in one case and the length of his reign in another..."
Finally, it liste gods and spirits as the first kings!!!!!!!!
"he fact that it begins with an enumeration of gods, demi-gods, spirits and mythical that were supposed to have ruled Egypt before the reign of Menes..."
Look, the oldest are supposed to be spirits!! That is what you are up against here. Finding some flesh and blood woman from actual history will not help you.

Oh look what I found on the website!
It seems like it mentions the kings I listed in my last post!
Besides, the Palermo stone is much more accurate.
So, the dates are important, and you don't have any. You have lists that apparently are considered mythical, which list spirits as leaders. Any more questions?!It is inscribed on both sides with a list of kings from Predynastic Egypt to the middle of the 5th Dynasty. From the 4th Dynasty on, the list also contains the foundations and offerings made by the kings. It is thus highly valuable in the study of the early history of Ancient Egypt.
The Ancient Egypt Site
Why did you use a site that agreed with what I posted?
Objection..speculation.I'm sure that after 3,000 years people would look at the first pharoahs as gods.
You do not prove he lived at the time of Moses. You just claimed it. How do you know?Of course, even the pharaoh at the time of Moses was considered a living god so you do not really prove anything.
Even then, the "mythic god/spirit kings" existed before the 1st dynasty of the Turin list. The 1st dynasty of Egypt, starting with Menes began in 3100 B.C. The Turin list still proves my point.
Care to provide the basis for the dates? The rest is easy.The Turin list still supports the list I posted. Care to explain how 3,000 years of Egyptian history can occur between 2345 B.C. and 31 B.C., as stated by the Turin list?
I agree that God can make a point with a true story.Thank you for agreeing that a literally story is not needed to state a point.
The meaning used for heat is 'killing heat'. Not enough was produced to kill life! That means that it could not have been in the present state, period.Yes you are. When you say the movement of continents did not create "heat", you are using the present state definition of "heat". Every word you use has past state meaning attached to it.
No. I never said that was the only difference. It also apparently was not in a state of radioactive decay. It also allowed water to pass through it better, because fountains of the deep watered the earth.From what you just posted, the only difference between "present state" folding and "past state" folding is that the latter does not produce/require heat. What would be the scientific explanation for this and why?
No one knows that, especially science. But the former state and future state does not have that. It has spiritual and physical matter. Both together. That makes a whole new balance.Explain it to me. What is "spiritual matter"?
Woah! Who says it had to form IN the flood?? Where do you dig these assumptions up?The pillow lava formation was in the middle of the Australian desert. Pillow lava forms underwater. If the pillow lava formed during the supposed flood, then that means it formed underwater in the "past state" the same way it forms now.
Well, start off by telling us about the site. Uplift in the area, history of lakes in the area, etc etc. Don't be like the kid in class that got fed up with his teacher. She kept asking the students to identify birds by looking only at the legs. Each leg of a bird was distinctive she claimed, and could identify the bird. The teacher asked the boy what his name was, when she told him to stand up, before asking him to look at the picture of bird legs to identify it.If it was formed by a different means in the "past state", then you need to provide a viable scientific explanation as to how pillow lava would not be formed underwater. That should be all of the facts you need!
Woah!! Your 'accurate' record speaks of spirits.
"The text begins by listing several thousands of years of rulers — presumed by many to be mythical — predating the rise of the god Horus, who, according to the text, conferred the kingship on Menes, the first human ruler listed"
wiki
!!!! Have you anything to offer us that is not presumed mythical, and that doesn't list spooks as rulers? What a scream.
So, the dates are important, and you don't have any. You have lists that apparently are considered mythical, which list spirits as leaders. Any more questions?!
Objection..speculation.
You do not prove he lived at the time of Moses. You just claimed it. How do you know?
?? Mythical undated lists that list spooks prove your point? In case you are missing something here, show us the basis of the dates for the first kingdom.
Care to provide the basis for the dates? The rest is easy.

Well, some suppose that Menes was actually someone else by another name too. Doesn't seem like they are snorkeling in clear water. If you want to accept the first human ruler, that comes with baggage, you also get the spirits. If you are OK with all that, then, go ahead, and show us the dates and how they arrive at them for the first human king of Egypt. Let's see what is actually on offer here.Menes was the first human ruler. According to the Turin list, which also mentions the number of years that they ruled. If you go from Cleopatra whose rule ended in 31 B.C. back to Menes, it is around 3,000 years of dynasties. The Turin list covers the 1st to the 17th dynasties.
So now you are rejecting the Turin list? The years of the pharaoh's rule are mentioned on the list. I thought you knew this?
No. No one in their right mind thinks they were ghosts. There is no reason to assume less devolved folks, mentally, than modern man would be so retarded.We have done the same with our first presidents. Washington and the apple tree... Granted, we do not view them as "spirits" or "gods" but we often give them credit for more deeds than they have done.
You forgot to show us how Ahmose gets datede 1500 years? The Turin list is not accurate, apparently, in the way you seem to think.Working backward from Cleopatra (31 B.C.) to Ahmose I (1550 B.C, the founder of the 18th dynasty), which is around 1550 years. The Turin list covers the 1st dynasty (starting with Menes) to the 17th (ending with Kamose) , which is an extra 1551 years. Since the Turin list and the Palermo stone gives how many years each pharaoh ruled, we can build a time scale from Cleopatra back to Menes. The Egyptian empire lasted over 3100 years from Menes to Cleopatra.
Then it is garbage. Not reliable for actual time. I refer to the lists because they note spirits lived among men in the early days, not for dating.The basis for the dates is the Turin list you love so much.
I assume the parables were true.You have also agreed that God can make a point with allegory.
No, the core is possibly spiritual also material, so they misread the evidence. Truth is they don't know. Really. But if a planet ful of water fell from above ask someone if heat would be produced, or if continents moved thousands of miles in hours, days, or months.Great heat is being produced right now and it is not killing us. The core of the earth is several thousand degrees and it is not killing us. That means it could still have been the "present state" considering the heat earth is making right now and we are all just fine.
Why not show us some from each state? We'll have a look. Are you sure we even get it in this state?Radioactive decay has nothing to do with geologic folding. Movement of groundwater has nothing to do with geologic folding. I'll ask you again, what is the difference between "present state" geologic folding and "past state" geologic folding? If you cannot give an explanation as to how it was different, then it must have been the same.
What can you tell us about it? So far, it seems it may or may not have been under water. Whopee do. How about the microscopic composition? Anything that makes it same state, and identical to, say, something Mount St Helens cooked up, or whatever?You have yet to explain how pillow lava would form in conditions other than underwater.
Dated?? How, precisely? There are formations on high mountains said to be older than what is under them. But they got pushed up. Can you prove the area had no disturbance and was underwater when it formed?? Otherwise, you are are blowing smoke.The pillow lava formation was in the middle of the Australian desert and was dated to have formed during the Archean (before the split). This is not about the dating methods used, but the formation of the pillow lava.
No dad. The one who introduces new concepts has to prove them right. You are introducing a different past. Very well, so the burden of proof lies on you.Let me get this straight, you claim that you do not need any evidence whatsoever for the premise you use to formulate scientific claims about the creation era. OK. So, let me ask you, why would anyone else need to, according to your standards? You will need to learn the difference between knowing, and making up any ungodly little fable you wish, and calling it science.
Wrong. The fact that we can analyse and understand events of the past, with the present understanding of the physical world is prove against your alleged changes. We see ancient cultures applying the same physics in their buildings as we do, we see them applying the same agriculture as we do. We see the same elements in the light of distant stars as in near ones etc etc.Well, I claim that you have no scientific evidence for your assumption that the earth was in a certain state. And you don't. Anyone will see that you have failed, and will fail to provide any. Instead, you appeal to ignorance, in that you seem to think we somehow just need to take your word for it, for no reason whatsoever. Can you see the chink in your armor here?![]()
I don't care about what god says. I'm talking to you. You wrote in this thread, so it's up to you to answer.It is not I that claim it was different, so much as God.
Do we? Then show me that record!Fossils? We have a record of all sorts of hyper evolved from the kinds creatures.
Does it?Archeological evidence, geological strata, astronomical data? It all supports a different state past! Don't throw out such vague quasi claims.
What? Do I have to provide proves for your allegations? You may wait a very long time for that.If the universe changed, I might ask you, how is it they would behave as if they were not in this universe??? But, since you brought it up, ..prove it!!! I am interested to find out if the whole universe was changed, or just a more localized area near earth.
Not at all. It proves that starlight coming in, is in the present state light. How long that was so is the issue. Try to get you head round that one.
So what, remnants of the past are continuously changing to reflect a concordance with present physical laws and constants? You are introducing more and more ad hoc hypotheses, just to cover up your bias.You are talking about a change IN this state and fabric of the universe and laws. That is not an issue. It was NOT a change IN OUR laws. That moots your point, somethin fierce.
I have to confront you with your own words, dad:It is precisely what you do NOT know, that I am exploring! Work on that.
So no. Science is not sticking to what it knows. But tries (and it does so very succesfully!) to explore the unknown.Calm down. My normal life happens to be in the here and now. Right in this present state. As long as science sticks here, to what it KNOWS, it is real science. (even though much of that is evil, like womd)
It is not my allegation that science rests on the premise that the laws and nature were the same. Really. It is their point, and yours if you defend them. It is indefensible.What? Do I have to provide proves for your allegations? You may wait a very long time for that.
No indeed. I agree. The created light in the created state did have information, some of which we still see in our light. We just see the stuff that can exist in this state, and that includes info from far stars.So what? Spectral lines being added to the star light while travelling? No dad.
The star emmitted the light, with spectral lines of known elements, and it proves that the physicla laws and constants were the same at the time of the emmission as now.
No I won't. If you can't prove it was the same, rather than assuming it for no reason, it remains unknown to science. Besides, it is not just changed light, but a changed universe, including light. Science can't deal in that. So when God says it is a temporal state, you have nothing to say about it.If you try to brush this aside with "changed light", you will have to provide a mechanism for that change.
So what, remnants of the past are continuously changing to reflect a concordance with present physical laws and constants? You are introducing more and more ad hoc hypotheses, just to cover up your bias.
Actually, you are exploring nothing.It is precisely what you do NOT know, that I am exploring! Work on that.
Well, some suppose that Menes was actually someone else by another name too. Doesn't seem like they are snorkeling in clear water. If you want to accept the first human ruler, that comes with baggage, you also get the spirits. If you are OK with all that, then, go ahead, and show us the dates and how they arrive at them for the first human king of Egypt. Let's see what is actually on offer here.
Well, before we get to that, we need to get past the spirits. Then, if you can accept them in your package deal, we need to look at how any particular king is dated.
No. No one in their right mind thinks they were ghosts. There is no reason to assume less devolved folks, mentally, than modern man would be so retarded.
Because they were butwhipped so bad that they tried to cover up, would be my guess.
You forgot to show us how Ahmose gets datede 1500 years?
The Turin list is not accurate, apparently, in the way you seem to think.

Actually, I am to, nya nya. I know I am, but what are you?Actually, you are exploring nothing.
You tell em.Nah, driewerf. Nah. When Dad tells you to work on something, you work on it.
Understand.
Is what what who really wants? I think anyone reading a thread would want you to be clear.Is that what you really want?
