I do not incorporate either into my worldview.

Baloney. You've been insisting that Cosmoquest and mainstream consensus is something that I should worry about. Why? You simply avoid all the hard questions.

I look at it with awe and wonder. But it does not shape the way I live my life or interact with my everyday world.

Except when you appeal to authority in post after post......

If it were somehow different (expanding/static/eternal/contracting) I don't see that it would affect the price of milk at the market.

And if it's alive?

What is your position?

And Michael, in regards to the cosmology theory of (Lambda-CDM) and (Panetheism) that you brought up, which one do you accept?

.

.

I'm not a fan of Lambda-CDM, but I accept EU/PC theory which is what ultimately what made me reconsider my position on Panetheism.

No. You're coming in late in the game. It happened 2000 years ago. But instead of believing the history of it, you believed the history story that was a ploy to draw out the riff raff, to separate [by intelligent design] the wheat from the chaff. Both stories are riddled, causing one to choose. You did not choose wisely...or should I say, "Professing to be wise, they became fools."

Meanwhile, your playbook offers no more evidence of its claims than we have offered you...except those from your own play book. Which, by your own rules...is not admissible.

He's been appealing to authority throughout this thread, but apparently it's easier for him to feign neutrality since he has no logical explanation for preferring one over the other.

So what of all the other religious texts? Do you accept them as true as well? Do you believe that Muhammad was the prophet of Allah? Did Joseph Smith really find those golden plates? Or are you selective in which supposed histories you will accept as true?

FYI, you're absolutely right that it's possible to integrate both Lambda-CDM and Panentheism, but the electrical aspects of the cosmos is what ultimately got me to rethink my position on Panentheism.

Quote where have I done this, keeping in mind that the appeal to authority is not fallacious when it is an actual authority.
but apparently it's easier for him to feign neutrality since he has no logical explanation for preferring one over the other.
Or, I am speaking honestly. Has that occurred to you?

You misrepresented what I have said. I don't see any value in repeating myself.
