Huh?
If you would like to show that the Tooth Fairy is wrong, by all means go for it.Meanwhile, I will proceed after the assumptions are shown to be valid, especially if it is supposed to be science fact.
GBY, thanks. Not that you needed any help.LOL, Dad --- thanks for coming back!
I think so, the man admitted as much! Look at the OP again, it's right in there. He said something about having his life affected so much, that he dedicated himself much much much more to Jesus. That is an effect. Now, looking at the effect, one should have some clue as to the cause.
A changed life has to count for something. The moon is known to have some influence historically on man. It doesn't make any sense, if all that is at work was a piece of rock up there. Spiritual effects need a spiritual cause.
What kind of evidence do you want, science? Well, at the time of the moon landings, that was, I think, the height of man's science, or part of it. It was not some priests that claimed powerful influences there, it was men of science, or at least men of some science. If one is affected by gravity, one can deduce an object of some mass caused it. If one is affected by things spiritual, one deduces that spiritual things had to be behind it.
Fairy tale. In fact, it is an insult to intelligence. The object almost as big as earth, I think it was, had to hit the earth just right, so as not to destroy everything, graze it just right, then go about poofing in all the right ways into a moon. Utterly ridiculous. They cooked that up using PO past assumption myth, and an advanced computer!!!
Abraham Lincoln didn't fly off into space. Relax.
Why is that?
Well, there is no need to accept that, I don't know, I simply look at biblical indications. As mentioned, Jesus went UP somewhere. Where we don't know. How do we rule out the moon? Because He is not on the surface? How about spirits under the earth? Is that a belly burster as well? Personal incredulity doesn't cut it.
Well, this could be interesting, I consider you like Mr. worldly wise man, in the book Pilgrim's Progress. Someone that seems wise in the ways and knowledge of the world, yet who always seem to play the devil's advocate. Always seems to be on the side of doubt, and against the bible as any sort of true book, etc.
So, let me get this right, every thing I ever thought the bible meant, about any area, is all wrong?
See what I mean? There you go again. God, in the wild and woolly violent past, needed His people to destroy some wicked people. So wicked, apparently, that their kids could not even be spared. Do you consider that God did this in love for man, like cutting out a cancer, so all the body does not die? No. Do you consider that they were so possessed, and maybe practiced bestiality etc, that the animals could not be spared? Or maybe there was serious disease in them as a result of some other wickedness? No, you try to point the finger at God.
I can't speak for Avi, but I am not a street preacher, your accusations are false. Science has nothing to do with most of the things having to do with the creation debate. So, no need to destroy that. The silly, vile, so called science that exalts itself against God does need to be attacked, and destroyed.
That says more about your other points than it does about the challenge.
So you deliberately created an apple that looks just like it came from a tree?
Not necessarily everything but your interpretation that that requires the earth to be 6,100 years old and puts a global flood less that 5000 years is wrong and your "different past" fantasies aren't even Biblical, just fantasies.
God supposedly ordered this massacre of men, women, children, infants and even animals. The twisted apologetics that Biblical Literalists under take to try to explain away this atrocity are just an example of how Biblical literalism destroys rational thought.
What part of repented don't you understand.
Heaven forbid!I was going to say "do it again and videotape it this time", but then I realized that this would make your challenge actually mean something and we can't have that, can we. My answer is that there is no evidence. Of course, that is only valid if you deliberately choose not to include something that distinguishes this particular apple from another one that grew naturally.
So it is an Omphalos Apple. It has the apearance of having grown on a tree but it didn't. You are able to deceive people into thinking it grew on a tree. This "challenge" shows that for all your protests you really do subsrcibe to the Omphalos hypothesis. It's nice that you have finally admited it.
