Time is not an illusion it is relative. Reality is an illusion.How does science stand its ground on the age of the universe, when science cannot agree that Time is anything but an illusion?
I am not sharing my opinion.But you do need to defend your opinions here, if you wish that they not be dismissed.
Nothing ventured nothing gained/lost. Your call.I see no reason to be concerned.
I never said science doesn't study time. But, yes, if you will not be going on from here, you need not bother.Back to the OP; to be clear, your concession that science does not study "Time" (whatever you imply by that capitonym) renders this thread meaningless.
Very good! We have a winner! I was simply quoting the "expert."Time is not an illusion it is relative. Reality is an illusion.
An appropriate term, where you are not presenting facts.I am not sharing my opinion.
There is my intellectual integrity that I'd rather not lose.Nothing ventured nothing gained/lost. Your call.
Scroll back - I wrote "Time". Such is the nature of capitonyms; the capitalization changes the meaning of a word in manner that you have used it.I never said science doesn't study time.
No worries. I'm always ready to give my opinion of your opinion.But, yes, if you will not be going on from here, you need not bother.
Plural experts. Einstein was much indebted to Planck for verifying his theorys.Very good! We have a winner! I was simply quoting the "expert."
It use to be that I could trick them by quoting one of their sages and then they would argue against themselves because they thought I said it. But after a while they catch onto that. It is easy to mine quote from the people they hold in high regard.I am not sharing my opinion.

There are too many people here who think being irritated is a form of prosecution. The Christian's of the West have pretty much had a cakewalk of a life and shouldn't describe what they are going through as persecution unless they've been in the hands of Isis.In the unlikely event that some of you do not know this, the Christian narrative as expressed in the Bible really does tell believers that they will be persecuted for their faith - that people will "hate" you (the believer) because of your allegiance to Jesus. Fair enough, as a believer myself, I believe this certainly does happen. But as if it were not really otherwise obvious, this, of course, does not mean that any challenge or critique directed at Christian constitutes this form of persecution.
Sometimes Christians express incorrect views, and often ones that are wildly and disturbingly incorrect. Like believing men and dinosaurs communed together, or that it's OK to pillage the planet since Jesus is coming back soon.
Unfortunately, and as I am sure many of you already know, this belief that persecution will come to the believer provides a tempting excuse to dismiss legitimate objections. When you believe that you are going to be persecuted, it becomes all too easy to dismiss other people's objections as manifestations of such persecution.
You are asking the wrong person (which I have told you many times). I also explained that I can tell you of it and describe it, which I have and you just refuse it.
How many times do I have to tell you? If you want the evidence you are asking for, you need to ask God. He is the only One who can deliver spiritual evidence.
The one thing I've found about asking things from God is that it really depends on how you ask him. Those who don't believe sometimes do so as if they were asking a rag doll in their child's playroom. I'm not saying you did this. I have no idea who you are, you could be the best person I will ever meet here. I was just commenting on your post and trying to relate my understanding in this matter. You have a wonderful day.You haven't described it.
Already asked. No one answered.

That is only true if the observer looks for bias in the words of others. It is an internal thing that doesn't represent anything other than the mental imagery that one fixates on and not the intention behind the response they received.One of the biggest indications of bias is when you claim a person isn't doing it right when they don't get the outcome you expected.
No, it is the experience one gets after one, who has been an Atheist and has called upon God to answer something they indeed asked as if they were asking a doll. I have done this and it is from my own experiences that I pulled my last response to you. I don't know how you could get biassiness from that, but I would have wished you would have asked me before you insinuated that which you did.If you have to believe before you can believe, then the source of bias is pretty obvious.

I have no problem talking to those who are without faith. I think that in many ways those outside the faith are just as much, if not more stimulating than those who are within. You guys make me think and rethink my take on things. I just wish you could see me as more than just a robot mindlessly mouthing out that wish someone else placed inside my brain.
Kevin.
There is my intellectual integrity that I'd rather not lose.
I have not been referring to "integrity" or "opinion"...but life or death.No worries. I'm always ready to give my opinion of your opinion.
I described it.You haven't described it.

Yes...this is all God's, and He has placed conditions on you and I. We don't get to put conditions back on Him, it is not our prerogative, but His.If you have to believe before you can believe, then the source of bias is pretty obvious.
