  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I woke up this morning to nothing. Alexa was playing the 1986 Heart song: "Nothing at all". When love is gone and you have nothing at all, then why is there pain where there use to be something?

I use to try to imagine NOTHING when I was in High School. If there is no God, then there is nothing and according to Science, at least Degrasse Science, nothing is impossible. There is always something.

We talk about possible and probable. According to perplexity "
Possible means that something could happen at varying degrees of certainty from 1% to 99%, while probable implies that something has more than 50% or higher chance of happening. In scientific research, the terms possible and probable are used to describe the likelihood of a hypothesis or theory being true. The Government FDA requires at least 50%. Because the placebo effect is 1/3. You can actually repeat the placebo and your results will be greater than 50%. The power of suggestion and the power of positive thinking is very powerful.

Therefore, while the probability of something happening may be very low, it is never completely impossible. If we have nothing, like at Cern, we still have a vacuum. Some people believe we still have the laws of physics even if there is nothing for those laws to work on or have an effect on.

It is important to note that the probability of an event occurring can never be exactly 0% or 100%, as there is always a small chance that something could happen or not happen

When a female prairie vole received an oxytocin injection in her brain, she huddled with her partner more and formed stronger bonds. Another hormone, vasopressin, related to territoriality, has been found to promote pair-bonding in males. So the nothing you have is a low level of vasopressin. If we want to mate, we have to find someone with a high level of oxytocin or vasopressin. If levels are low, then there is a good chance that you will end up with "nothing at all".

I'll give you a 100% possibility and that is the return of JESUS. It will happen 100% and will happen in the Generation of the Fig Tree I will 100% guarantee it!!
That would be theology, not science. Science can only give us a 99% chance. The Fig tree is interesting though. It was the fiber of the fig tree that Adam and Eve used for their cover or clothing. Or try to cover yourself with the dead works of religion.

I know a girl who says she has been dead 22 times. YouTube is filled with NEO's and you begin to wonder how death is able to claim anyone when we are so good at keeping them alive. I died last week, but I was revived and I am still here talking about God.
And you believe that stuff? A person dieing 22 times? I find hard to believe not impossible but

I'm not sure what point the OP is trying to make. It is true that what many proclaim as impossible is technically only improbable. However, from a definitional perspective, many things are impossible. If I define a right angle to be 90 degrees, it then becomes impossible to have a right angle of 42 degrees. The law of noncontradiction is foundational to logic, and therefore anything accepted to be properly formulated by formal logic de facto identifies impossibilities, e.g. true cannot be false. Mathematics, a close relative of logic, has therefore arrived at Godel's Incompleteness Theorems; a consistent system cannot prove all truths within that system ... an impossibility of knowing. Science built on logic and mathematics faces similar issues, e.g. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle that the position and momentum of a particle cannot both be fully known simultaneously.

But I would guess the OP aims at things often shouted as impossible that are technically only things we have not personally experienced - resurrection, etc.
