My Perspective Challenge

[Kenny'sID]

Perspective can be a drag, can't it!?

Apparently, so too can Atheists.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

None of my business, Warden, but did you used to post here under another name?

How is me saying you're annoying anything like consol's anti-religious garbage?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

It's confusing, isn't it?

I vaguely remember asking a similar question of this nature years ago here, and one poster pointed out that, since I didn't capitalize "earth," he assumed the land.

Without a qualifier, some questions can indeed be very simple, yet very hard to answer.

I like what my college teacher once told us:

There are sentences in the English language that can be understood when spoken, yet can't be correctly written as spoken.

Example:

How many [to, too, two]s are there in the English language?

.. oh, jeez. I get it now! I think.

 

[Widlast]

I was kinda hoping for just one answer.

Either a 1 a 2 a 3 or a 4.

Hope springs eternal. If you want exacting answers you should ask exacting questions.
Vague questions get vague answers.

And no, you are not being clever.

 

[Kenny'sID]

No. You're just annoying. Any geek can see that your 'challenge' is flawed right from the off.

What exactly is flawed about it? Are there Straw Men or arguments from incredulity/logical fallacies involved? Godidit's?

I had Delphiki in mind.

If this is about what I think it's about, then it's not perspective. It's just the English language that you find to be the challenge.

Do you find such passages in the Bible as those interpreted as geocentric by the educated to be challenging as well?

Or do you just automatically assume they are geocentric, without being a challenge?

How is it you can't answer my OP without a qualifier, yet you (or your comrades) can read passages in the Bible without qualifiers and assume they are specifically speaking of geocentrism?

Because they clearly describe the Earth as being in a geocentric state. In fact, the most common school of thought that existed at the time was that the sun went around the Earth. It's that simple.

I had Delphiki in mind.

And no I'm not them either. Who ever they were.

 

[AV1611VET]

Thanks for the QED.

Del is just one person, not a 'they.'

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Del is just one person, not a 'they.'

And 'they' can also be used to refer to a singular person.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Thanks for the QED.

Why do you do that?

 

[JackRT]

Since your OP specified "on earth", only the cheetah fits, the remainder being in water or air.

Not too confusing, is it?

What is the fastest animal on earth?

1. Cheetah
2. Sailfish
3. Peregrine Falcon
4. Lightning Bug

Andy Green currently holds the land speed record.

 

[AV1611VET]

Andy Green currently holds the land speed record.

Chuck Yeager could fly rings around him.

This thread is a wonderful example of what is generally wrong with the world today:
too much time spent on mindless nonsense.

Like reading anything by Tolkien, as your profile stipulates?

And for the record, are you making a contribution to 'mindless nonsense,' or announcing an abstinence?
