Clear off a table in your house.Place about 25-50 plates carefully on the table (overlapping them as needed).Set the plates so that they are more or less uniformly spread out and stable....What have I just demonstrated?

You have 50 guests coming for spaghetti.

Clear off a table in your house.

Place about 25-50 plates carefully on the table (overlapping them as needed).

Set the plates so that they are more or less uniformly spread out and stable.

Place a tablecloth over the plates.

Place a sheet of paper, cut into seven segments but all together as one sheet, on top of the tablecloth.

Lightly shake the table and observe the movement of the pieces of paper.

(Assume the table has an edge on it to keep the plates from falling off.)

Here's my challenge:

What have I just demonstrated?
You have no idea what plate tectonics is, nor what an expierment is, nor what a challange is. Or you don't really care.

With a few exceptions, my challenges are so easy, you can't (or won't) answer them.

lol...

Your challenges are meaningless. They make about as much sense as asking, "How do you account for Harry Potter without saying that magic isn't real?"

I doubt you've read half of them.

Especially with your post-and-run style, where you show up only occasionally to inject your rudeness into basic doctrine, then disappear ... sometimes for days.

People who come back with good points have to wait to see what you're going to say, just to see that little green triangle disappear for ... well ... days sometimes.

Not so much "easy" as "transparent."

One would think that after years of formulating "Gotcha!" questions in order to make yourself sound clever and superior to your SUnday School audience, you would've at least developed a modicum of talent at it.

Easy, transparent, call it what you will.

I usually call them "unanswered."

When the hunter sets a trap, and the prey is smart enough to spot and avoid it, it's a poor hunter who blames the prey...then again, it's a poor hunter who sets such an obvious trap in the first place.

Don't get me wrong.

I've often mentioned how you guys are too smart to answer them.

Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Then you have nobody to blame but youerself for not raising your game.

I think I'll leave it right where it's at, thank you. :)

That could pose a problem for your alleged "Great Commission" -- it's one thing to try and fail, but do you think God is fooled by you doing nothing but going through the motions?

Jonah didn't fool Him, and you, sirrah, are no Jonah.

Translation: The Great Commission and apologetics don't go together?

I never said that -- in fact, you've found many creative ways to fail at both simultaneously.
