My Suspended Entropy Challenge

[[serious]]

Explain this phenomenon ...

Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

... in such a way as to pass peer review and get acclaim in physics for showing how the second law of thermodynamics was suspended back then.

Simple, just use the perfect English meaning of the bible. Their clothes and shoes are not made out of wax. Quick, some physicist acclaim me!

What? this one: 55?

Thanks for bringing it up.

Now I have to forget it all over again!

I'll take that as you conceding the points to me, shall I?

That is:

• You have no questions about how my daughter flew around on the night in question.
• You do think the truth can take a hike.
• You agree that there is still stuff to talk about if evidence is presented and therefore, when you said, "If there was proof that it actually happened, what would there be to talk about?" the answer is "Plenty."
• And finally, that you were indeed just blowing smoke.

Thanks, AV.

The top I was wearing is made of a cotton/poly blend. There's definitely no wax in there, but I will be going to Hell due to a violation of one of those pesky laws in Leviticus.

Deutronomy 29:5: And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.


We must take the whole chapter in context, let's read the next verse:
Deuteronomy 29:6: Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

We know they ate mana. This means that God preserved their clothing so it did not become "old".

Here are some more verses with "waxed":
Genesis 18:12: Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

Genesis 19:13:
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

Genesis 26:13:
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

Exodus 1:7:
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

I can give numerous other verses. "Waxed" simply means "made". In Deutronomy 29:5, God is saying that in the 40 years that God has led them, he has not made their clothes "old" and has fed them with mana.

Read your King James Bible!!!!!!!

Actually, "wax" in this context means to grow. It's where we get the term "waxing moon" from. Also, "waxing poetic."
