With all his knowledge, diligent work, observation, calculations and experiments he could have written a better explanation for the benefit of the thousands who read that newspaper. Thousands of people now believe that the lake is totally refreshed several times a year, when it isn't. It took an amateur to present an accurate picture (although I never did actually present it.......oh wait, I just did).
And such an event would, in all likelihood, be recorded if it actually happened. Eclipses were recorded and they are only a few minutes long at the most. How do you explain that such an event went unnoticed among the general populace?
Well I'm only going to chew that cabbage once.
It was recorded, in Luke 23:44-45.
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Science is myopic.You are in effect stating that the Bible was wrong since you can't find a reliable source that confirms that claim.
Science is myopic.
For the record, I define "religion" thusly:But religion is imaginative.
Yes, but you do not get to make up definitions. You can go by that, but you would be wrong if you expect anyone else too.For the record, I define "religion" thusly:
Just as weight occurs when gravity is resisted, religion occurs when the Bible is resisted.
This definition does two things:
1. It takes [true] Christianity out of the realm of religion, and puts it where it belongs: a relationship (with Jesus Christ).
2. It defines atheism as a religion.
So yes ... religion is and can be imaginative ... just ask Colter.
I've been wrong before.You can go by that, but you would be wrong if you expect anyone else too.
You believe the flood story because it's in the Bible, in association with other stories, not because it sounds true or plausible.For the record, I define "religion" thusly:

That's right.You believe the flood story because it's in the Bible, in association with other stories, not because it sounds true or plausible.
Let's get one thing straight here, shall we?Colter said:You believe angels have sex with humans, not because it's even remotely accurate, but because it's in the Bible.

, religion occurs when the Bible is resisted.

At least these fallen angels had the wherewithal to marry those women.
That means it wasn't "sex", it was "making love," which, I'm sure, is another obsolete term, compliments of a science-driven society, whose goal is to Arab phone or erase every major term in the Scriptures and make way for the Antichrist.
I don't expect you to.I am not cleaving to that definition.
I don't expect you to.
After all, you want to claim that [Christianity] is imaginative, rather than claim that Christianity is obligated to a set of standards delineated in the word of God.
It's sad when people think we can just believe anything we want to unchecked.
In fact, I have a set of Boolean standards I use to keep myself in check and clearly see where my boundaries lie:
My Boolean Standards:
1. Bible says X, science says X = go with X
2. Bible says X, science says Y = go with X
3. Bible says Ø, science says Y = go with Y
4. Bible says Ø, science says Ø = speculate
Prime Directive: Under no circumstances is the Bible to be contradicted.
Dear me.Yes, using the word "sex" to describe activities relating to physical and genital contact either in service to pro-creation or couple bonding is the scientists' way of setting the stage for the Antichrist.
Arab phone ... Chinese whispers ... Grapevine ... Telephone Game?Obliquinaut said:ESPECIALLY when we can "Arab Phone" (whatever that is...).
