Ex nihilo?

I know better than that.

He stopped creating ex nihilo after six days.

So that means you are doubly responsible to understand what your home is telling you. I mean, assuming you want to continue using your computer, your phone, your tv, your car, eating food, drinking water without dying, those sorts of things... (ie all the fun things)

Perhaps it is true (not right, but true): the more a false god demands of its adherents, the more they become devoted to it ?
So true, my friend!

And their devotion comes from another source, as well.

A Biblical source.

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

These people spend boocoo dollars to walk the halls of higher academia; and they'll guard what they've been taught with their spiritual lives.

They sell their souls to Satan.

Yupper.

I live in a house built by men whom God gave brains to; and they used their education to make our lives better.

Unlike the Nimrods of the world who use their God-given brains and talents against Him.

That's pretty insulting to those who have dedicated their lives to understanding their home

Because we all benefit from the knowledge.
You mean that "so clear" knowledge that makes you have to buy a $250.00 scientific calculator that your professor has to program for you?

One of my first ever threads here:

I have found both the MISSING LINK and ABIOGENESIS!
Ex nihilo?

I know better than that.

He stopped creating ex nihilo after six days.

Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his [ex nihilo] work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

The universe started out at a mass/energy level of zero; and in six days God raised it to its current level today.
Strange, I can't find "ex nihilo" in any of these versions:

Genesis 2:2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

I have never seen a student that dense, but then again things may have changed since my days at college.

Which of those do you think are selling their soul to Satan as you said in another post?

Unlike the Nimrods of the world who use their God-given brains and talents against Him.

Oh I bet a lot of the wonderful things you use every day were made by people who don't believe as you do. Are you sure you're using the PURE knowledge? Or is some of the knowledge you take advantage of gained from the sale of a soul to Satan?

You better get to checkin'.

When I was in grad school I skipped paying rent and electricity for a month or two to buy an HP 11C. Still have it. Best calculator I ever bought. (Cost north of $120 at the time if I recall).

I've even heard there are some people SO EVIL that they simply ENJOY LEARNING about things like the earth just for the fun of it! Poor devils.

Strange, I can't find "ex nihilo" in any of these versions:
That's why if I taught creationism, and you sat in my class ... I'd flunk you faster than Darwin's finches could fly.

Here's a test I made up in another thread:
  1. Explain the difference between creatio ex nihilo and creatio ex materia; and give two examples of each.
  2. Explain the difference between "God" and "LORD God".
  3. Eden in the Bible is known as __________ on a secular map.
  4. The triune Godhead is a violation of what scientific law?
  5. Put the following in order that they appeared in the universe: whales, stars, trees, sun, land, sea, outer space.
  6. What day was Adam created on?
  7. Was the universe created a closed system and, if not, what kind of energy did it run off of? if it was created open, what closed it?
  8. Describe terra aqua and what kind of water it consisted of and why.
  9. Photosynthesis required light from the sun prior to the Fall. true or false?
  10. Explain how a 24-hour day could transpire before the sun was created.

I bought it when my old TI died. I had always wanted an HP and to have a reason to learn RPN. Only poor decision for me was that I decided to jump to RPN in the middle of P Chem. I probably could have planned that a bit better. :)

One thing one learns as a teacher is that sometimes it's not the students fault when information fails to be transferred. Just sayin'.

Here's a test I made up in another thread:
  1. Explain the difference between "God" and "LORD God".
One has the word LORD in front of it.

  1. Eden in the Bible is known as __________ on a secular map.
New Jersey.

  1. The triune Godhead is a violation of what scientific law?
Math. 1=3=1.

  1. Put the following in order that they appeared in the universe: whales, stars, trees, sun, land, sea, outer space.
Whales come from space and they require trees to hatch in here on earth but they have to have a sea nearby. So it's anyone's guess which came first....

  1. What day was Adam created on?
His birthday.

Wow! The only test that I know of that shows the student knows more than the teacher.

Here's a test I made up in another thread:
  1. Explain the difference between creatio ex nihilo and creatio ex materia; and give two examples of each.
One is real and one is make believe.

  1. Explain the difference between "God" and "LORD God".
  2. Eden in the Bible is known as __________ on a secular map.
  3. The triune Godhead is a violation of what scientific law?
  4. Put the following in order that they appeared in the universe: whales, stars, trees, sun, land, sea, outer space.
  5. What day was Adam created on?
  6. Was the universe created a closed system and, if not, what kind of energy did it run off of? if it was created open, what closed it?

  8. Photosynthesis required light from the sun prior to the Fall. true or false?
  9. Explain how a 24-hour day could transpire before the sun was created.
Oh my, so much nonsense that I dare not answer them properly.

Just the questions alone tell us that the student knows more than the person that wrote the test. That is quite some accomplishment AV.
