Is this a serious thread?

Where does the Bible discuss a flip, flop or any other reversal?

What on Earth are you talking about?
The bible presents both a future and a past with such pronounced differences, it seems the state of the universe had to be different than the present.
Heaven, spirits, the flood, Eden, living forever, different plant growth and lifespans etc.

How does my logic differ from plain logic? Is it because it does not agree with your a priori assumptions?
Your logic is PO based. It must revolve around that.



Notice how your train of thoughts is convoluted, and rife with non sequiturs and ad hominems.
No, I just like to deal with an issue that makes sense in a post I am in. I figure if I can't figure out what you are refering to, how is anyone else going to??
The point of the verse you brought up is this.
You claimed it could not take two days to burn, despite all the looting that went on of the treasures there. I showed an example of a stone palace in China that took a full three days to burn down.
You have not made any cohesive case since then. I suggested you conced the seemingly lost point. Let's face it, the doubt you raised was defeated totally.

Yes. Do you disagree with my analysis?
You never supported your short sentence claim you call an anaylasis, no. Show us the case. What were the materials other than stone that were so duifferent in each example? How do you know? What is the basis for your claims, if any? Stick to the facts, either you have a case, or not.


Leviticus 26:28-29: Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
You say your god is the horned one. Maybe you should stick to quoting it.
The chastisements He gives are often letting us reap the rewards of our sins. We reap what we sow. Save your pagan interpretations for others. I have the spirit of God to interpret the spirit of what is said.

No, our conversation pertains to the mutability of the physical laws, and the existance of your non-PO universe (which you call the spiritual). The afterlife is irrelevant.
The afterlife is a part of the spiritual. All is is irelevant to is your present box of the physical only universe.

As it happens, Confucious himself said that, at the age of 50, '五十而知天命 (I knew the will of the heavens)'.
Some may even have believed him. So?


Of course you do. I'm just a poor, unsaved, Pagan scientist. What would I know about objective evidence (you have yet to disprove my point. You only cite subjective evidence).
You are welcone to present evidence that space was the same, and the universe here. You are talking too much about nothing. Present your scientific case if you claim you have one.


You have done no such thing. The ressurrection was claimed to have occured ~2000 years ago, and I very much doubt that you are >2000 years old.
We have so. We were around then. We were around since the beginning.


Why? It is not your responsability to ensure that all posters here share the same vocabulary. If someone does not properly understand a term, then they are invariably swiftly informed by the many other posters here who do understand the term.
Just try and be understood. Hopefully others will do the same.



Perhaps. But since this is a discussion between only the two of us, what does it matter?
You have been long in the tooth in part of the thread, yes. But it is not just you here.

On the contrary, this is from Talk Origins:
Prediction 5.6: Speciations

Confirmation:

Speciation of numerous plants....
Several speciation events have also been seen in laboratory populations of houseflies
Who says that some trickle of evolution still does not occur? Cut the strawman act.

Irrelevant, as ever. Try to use something other than a non sequitur, would you?
Being consise, and trying to make sense is very relevant.


That you are making non sequiturs, and then claiming that you have forgotten what we are talking about! How can we debate if you are so... incapable?
Hint: If there was a thought, or point in the above words of yours, someone could respond to it. Sounds like you are talking to yourself or something. Hocus pocus, get in focus.


Do not dodge the question.I have, repeatedly, demonstrate why it is scientific to assume a 'same past'. Now I ask you again: Why is it unscientific to assume that the physical laws were 'the same' in the past?
No, you haven't. Bottom line is that it is only assumption. No reason exists to assume a same past or future.


Ah, so now you are willing to sift through the posts. Interesting.
You must understand that I have not made ad hominems, because I am willing to validify my claims. An ad hominem is a personal attack without justification. I have justification, so therefore your examples are not ad hominems. They may be offensive, and for that I am sorry, but my claims stand unless you can refute my justifications.
No sense fine tuning our beliefs here, you are a witch, and I a bible believer.
So, it is shown you have nothing but assumptions of the same past here. You like to consider that somehow related to science or logic. Unless you come up with facts, and proofs, and evidence, however, it will remain part of your belief system.


Neither have you.
Note that I never claimed to have observed heaven or Eden. I merely claimed that empiricial observations will work in heaven and Eden just as they do now. Prove me wrong.
How can you claim something will work where it has never been observed???? I thought you claimed to be a "scientist"?

No. I assume my mother is real (not 'was'. She is not dead yet), I assume my sensory input is at least a vague representation of the true reality,
So, you can't be more clear than a vogue representation of reality. Fine. I guess we should be thankful you have some grip at all there.


I assume that empirical observations are empirical and not manipulated by some unseen entity.

If it was unseen, how would you observe it???! You just admitted thinking what you DO observe is 'at least a vague representation of the true reality'!


However, you have still not answered my question:
Why should I follow your example when you have not demonstrated that it is better than mine?
Hey, don't worry about that any more. I was kind of being light hearted saying, when you seemed unsure of reality, something like, 'follow me, then'. Now, I can see you best have professional help. Don't worry about it.

Even though you just said: Our rewards in heaven are based on works, not getting there.
So, tell me, how do I get into heaven?
Ask Jesus. Here is a prayer you could pray to get saved. Just say it, and mean it.

'"DEAR JESUS, I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD. THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR ALL MY SINS, AND COME IN TO MY HEART NOW. TAKE ME TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE, AND HELP ME TO SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH OTHERS. IN JESUS' NAME, I PRAY, AMEN"!



Then it fails the scientific method and is rejected. You can believe in it all you want, but it is illogical, irrational, and unjustified.
That is right, your inability to make a science case for the kind of past you claim is that.


Science is a methodology.
PO methodology.

We have hypothesises & theories (explanations of why the facts are as they are), and the scientific method is the first falsification test to see if they are logical, probable, etc.
Natural as we now know it, in other words.

An argument can be unscientific, but that directly implies that it is illogical, irrational, improbable, etc.
No. It simply means that the pitiful limits of science only encompass so many arguements.


I fly the Union Jack by my avatar. You might want to notice this in future.

No, it seems that God played a more active role in His creation than He does now.


Heaven, spirits, the flood, Eden, living forever, different plant growth and lifespans etc.

So, heaven and spirits don't exist anymore?

Did anyone live forever in the "pre-split world"? No?

The flood has been debunked, and the rest you just made up.

So why do we need a "Split"?

That is absurd. If we use an example of fast plant growth, what does that have God doing? Running around like a faiery waving a tiny wand over each tree evey day?? Or, for eternal life Adam would have had, God, what, sends little spirits with nothing better to do to each cell in our body to make it live long?? Then, what, spirits off to each star to quickly usher the light here fast???? Think about it. The simple thing is to assume a different natural. Ask the monk.


So, heaven and spirits don't exist anymore?
Of course they do. But, if you notice we are seperate now. Have you married an angel? No, I don't mean she is always up in the air about something, or harping on something either. Or never has an earthly thing to wear.

Did anyone live forever in the "pre-split world"? No?
They took a deathly detour from the original road of life. We will, though, thanks to the saviour.

The flood has been debunked, and the rest you just made up.
Actually, the hard fact of the matter is that all that the scoffers so called debunked it with is same past assumption based imaginations of the past!!!!! Nothing more at all. And it is now that, that has been exposed, and defrocked, and debunked.


So why do we need a "Split"?
We neede a temporary prison, where lifespans were not too long, I think, for one reason.

-The afterlife and heaven depend on a different state future

how is that a fact
Because if heaven was here now, we would still be dying, and the sun still burning out, and the 1500 mile high gold city as big as our moon would have some gravity concerns landing here, and trees do not grow a different fruit each month of the year here. The lions could not eat straw, and gold would still be nontransparent. Etc etc etc etc etc.

That is absurd.

Of course they do. But, if you notice we are seperate now.

Actually, I haven't noticed much of anything.

Have you married an angel? No, I don't mean she is always up in the air about something, or harping on something either. Or never has an earthly thing to wear.

Married an angel? Are you feeling all right, dad?


They took a deathly detour from the original road of life. We will, though, thanks to the saviour.

So, it never happened. Thank you, that's all you needed to say.

The bible had the sons of god in our past doing that, as you know.

It did happen!!! Adam is alive forever, as are all the olt testament believers, as are we, and as we will forever be!!! So, the answer is yes.
As I said, they had to take a detour down sin road, but it came out at etrnal life boulevard anyhow!

No, we needed the shorter lifespans to limit the wickedness of man.

Your logic is PO based. It must revolve around that.
Nonsense. Demonstrate that my logic is flawed in your 'non-PO' universe.

You say your god is the horned one. Maybe you should stick to quoting it.
Why? We are not discussing my beliefs. We are discussing your beliefs. If this upsets you, we can stop. But until then...

The chastisements He gives are often letting us reap the rewards of our sins. We reap what we sow.
So you condone the cannibalisation of our children?

Save your pagan interpretations for others.
I have not interprited, I have simply quoted. You deny literalism?

You are welcone to present evidence that space was the same, and the universe here. You are talking too much about nothing. Present your scientific case if you claim you have one.
1) Throughout recorded history, the physical laws have remained the same.
2) Therefore, we assume that the physical laws are always the same.
Corollary: claims that deny immutable physical laws must demonstrate why assumption (2) is false, lest said claim violate Occam's Razor and hence be unscientific.

We have so. We were around then. We were around since the beginning.
We? I take it you are referring to your fellow Christians. It may come as news to you that Christianity was not around since 'the beginning'.

Just try and be understood. Hopefully others will do the same.
You are the only one who seems to be unable to understand me. You don't even know basic conventions. I think it is you who needs to try harder.

Who says that some trickle of evolution still does not occur? Cut the strawman act.
That was not the point and you know it.
You asked, 'Nothing is demostrated in the lab of the kind.'. I demonstrated. Do not miss the point again.

Hint: If there was a thought, or point in the above words of yours, someone could respond to it. Sounds like you are talking to yourself or something. Hocus pocus, get in focus.
I give up. You clearly are unable to engage in a simple dialogue, even when the previous posts have been clearly laid out to you.

No, you haven't. Bottom line is that it is only assumption.
Yes! Finally, you understand! It is an assumption! Just as yours (different physical laws) is. The only thing that can tell us which assumption to prefer (since one must be picked, and both are mutually exclusive) is the probabilities of each being true. Occam's Razor posits that the assumption with the least entites is the most probable, i.e., mine. Thus, it is logical to make my assumption. QED!

No sense fine tuning our beliefs here, you are a witch, and I a bible believer.
Indeed.

So, it is shown you have nothing but assumptions of the same past here.
And you have nothing but assumptions of a different past. Your point?

You like to consider that somehow related to science or logic.
Indeed it is. Probability is the only thing that distinguishes mine over yours.

Unless you come up with facts, and proofs, and evidence, however, it will remain part of your belief system.
Nonsense. Do you even know what science is?

How can you claim something will work where it has never been observed????
Because there is no reason to assume otherwise.

I thought you claimed to be a "scientist"?
And I thought you had a scientific argument.

So, you can't be more clear than a vogue representation of reality.
No, I said at least; 'I assume my sensory input is at least a vague representation of the true reality' . It is, at most, an entirely accurate representation of reality.

If it was unseen, how would you observe it???!
Because the unseen is not necessarily unobservable. Another case of asynonymous terminology, I'm afraid.

You just admitted thinking what you DO observe is 'at least a vague representation of the true reality'!
No, I accepted that my sensory input is at least a vague representation, and at most an entirely accurate one.

I was kind of being light hearted saying, when you seemed unsure of reality, something like, 'follow me, then'.
That is not what I said and you know it. Do not put words into my mouth. I accepted the possibility that what we observe is open to external manipulation. I assume that this is not the case, but I am nonetheless aware of alternate possibilities. You, however, are so close-minded that you do not even question fundamental concepts.

Ask Jesus. Here is a prayer you could pray to get saved. Just say it, and mean it.

'"DEAR JESUS, I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD. THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR ALL MY SINS, AND COME IN TO MY HEART NOW. TAKE ME TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE, AND HELP ME TO SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH OTHERS. IN JESUS' NAME, I PRAY, AMEN"!
I think not. This is an appeal to your messiah to forgive me of sins that I did not commit. Why do I need forgiveness? I cannot lie; I do not believe that Jesus is the son of your god, nor that Jesus died for me.

That is right, your inability to make a science case for the kind of past you claim is that.
A science case? I think you mean a hypothesis.

PO methodology.
If you reject science, then there is nothing more I can say to you.

Natural as we now know it, in other words.
Unless you can explain to me why we should assume an alternate natural, then yes (don't go all 'Where is your scientific evidence for a same past???????!!!'. It gets old real fast).

No. It simply means that the pitiful limits of science only encompass so many arguements.
Care to show me an argument that is both logical and unscientific?

I have. Guess you figure no one else reads this stuff.
I am not blind. I am aware of the posts of others. What is your point? We were on a half-hearted conversation about dollars and pounds.

So, like you said. God is absurd.

As I said, they are seperate, so you can't see em.

Can't see what?


The bible had the sons of god in our past doing that, as you know.

What that before or after the unicorns?



It did happen!!! Adam is alive forever, as are all the olt testament believers, as are we, and as we will forever be!!! So, the answer is yes.

Except even the Bible says that Adam died. In fact, most everyone in the OT meets a demise sooner or later.

As I said, they had to take a detour down sin road, but it came out at etrnal life boulevard anyhow!

Proof?

No, we needed the shorter lifespans to limit the wickedness of man.

So your idea of mercy is murder. One would wonder why your "God" would bother letting anyone be born in the first place.

-It took time for Eden's creatures to start showing up in the fossil record.
And this means something??,


-You have no science to evidence a same past

That does not prove you right, it is not evidence for your cause

-All dating of the far past depends on a same past
That does not prove you right, it is not evidence for your cause

-The spiritual is well known worldwide and always has been.

And even if this is true, it is in no way evidence for a split, the spiritual, is something beyond our world, you are the only person, on this planet, I know, of who believes, that the two separate worlds were joined at any point in time, the spiritual is known worldwide, for always being separate

-There is no evidence for evolution beyond created kinds.

This is not creation vs evolution. This is about you evidence for a split, creation or evolution does not come into play here

-The afterlife and heaven depend on a different state future

No they do not, a soul/spirit is able to inhabit a physical body during life, and at death travel to the spiritual world

-All your info is based on the present only.

Again, I ask for evidence for a split

And you say, well no one has any evidence for evolution, radiocarbon dating, or info on the past


May I ask my q/n again?

Do you have one fact, or one piece of empirical evidence that supports you theory? (if so enlighten us)

Nonsense. Demonstrate that my logic is flawed in your 'non-PO' universe.
Can you demonstrate that there is such a thing??? If not, how would you assume your ideas even matter on what it may be like??? If you can demonstrate it, then we will see how well your logic applies there!


Why? We are not discussing my beliefs. We are discussing your beliefs. If this upsets you, we can stop. But until then...
We are discussing the utter lack of science and evidence you have for your falsely so called science claim that the past was the same state as the present universe! And, guess whose belief that is? Not mine, that's for sure!
Nowthen, if we are to add in other beliefs, like which God I may believe in, then we will add the one you claimed you believe in, the horned one, as you called it! From a Christian perspective, that sounds a lot like the devil, as you must know.

So you condone the cannibalisation of our children?
No. Do you? You don't have to speak fror your god, the bible gives us the goods on him. We know all about what he inspires. God let them know how bad a state their rebellion would end them up in. A real disgusting place. As disgusting as those that claim God is in the same evil rebellious place as the sinners in question here.

I have not interprited, I have simply quoted. You deny literalism?
Depends how it is defined. I advocate getting savedism, so we can understand what it isism, that God was talking about all alongism.


1) Throughout recorded history, the physical laws have remained the same.
Nope. The bible records history from day 1!

2) Therefore, we assume that the physical laws are always the same.

YOU assume. You ASSUME. That is right, that's all you do for the far past. But you're caught.

Corollary: claims that deny immutable physical laws must demonstrate why assumption (2) is false, lest said claim violate Occam's Razor and hence be unscientific.
No, no one needs to do squat just because you make baseless claims from assumptions. Many of us look at the evidence, not just what you feel like assuming for no apparent reason!


We? I take it you are referring to your fellow Christians. It may come as news to you that Christianity was not around since 'the beginning'.
It may surprise you that it was. Jesus was walking in Eden, and Jesus created the universe. All things that were made were made by Him. And without Him was not anything made that was made.


You are the only one who seems to be unable to understand me. You don't even know basic conventions. I think it is you who needs to try harder.
What I may understand, and what I may tolerate from you may sometimes depend on a few variables. If you use the E word we have to look at the connotation in each instance.


That was not the point and you know it.
You asked, 'Nothing is demostrated in the lab of the kind.'. I demonstrated. Do not miss the point again.
Evolution is a created trait, as I said. That is not what I mean can't be demonstrated. I mean the worm to elephant baloney in the dream past that never was. Where is the lab work there? No one is talking of the ability to evolve and adapt, only the claimed rock crack birthing of all life on earth.

I give up. You clearly are unable to engage in a simple dialogue, even when the previous posts have been clearly laid out to you.
Look again, the mumbo jumbo, hocus pocus, murky and substance lacking phrases might mean something to you, but do not form a complete thought on paper. At least not in the instance you just refered to.


Yes! Finally, you understand! It is an assumption! Just as yours (different physical laws) is. The only thing that can tell us which assumption to prefer (since one must be picked, and both are mutually exclusive) is the probabilities of each being true.
Hey, take your pick of beliefs, just don't call them science, and we're cool.


Occam's Razor posits that the assumption with the least entites is the most probable, i.e., mine. Thus, it is logical to make my assumption. QED!
And, if I recall, you think that that is the highest law in heaven or hell! We had that chat, and I pointed out your old age samepast concepts takes many years to comprehend, and even then, I wonder how many are on the same page! The creation, and new heavens coming is so simple, that a child can get it over breakfast! In the simple war, the primordial rock crack , and the universe in a pepper sized speck of hot sweet nothings, is not even a contender. It is the ultimate complcated mess to avoid.


And you have nothing but assumptions of a different past. Your point?
I have plenty more, you have nothing more! Since yours is a science claim it ought to hang it's head in shame.


Nonsense. Do you even know what science is?
Not a study of spooks and the supernatural, I assure you. It is stuck in the natural. That is it's fishbowl.


Because there is no reason to assume otherwise.
There is if you get your head out of your assumption.


And I thought you had a scientific argument.
Only as much as you do.

No, I said at least; 'I assume my sensory input is at least a vague representation of the true reality' . It is, at most, an entirely accurate representation of reality.
So, you aren't really sure of reality. I get it already. You hope for the best.

Because the unseen is not necessarily unobservable. Another case of asynonymous terminology, I'm afraid.
Right, like people see observe the unseen, then? Specifically the spiritual?


No, I accepted that my sensory input is at least a vague representation, and at most an entirely accurate one.
Let us know when you pick one some day, eh?


That is not what I said and you know it. Do not put words into my mouth. I accepted the possibility that what we observe is open to external manipulation. I assume that this is not the case, but I am nonetheless aware of alternate possibilities. You, however, are so close-minded that you do not even question fundamental concepts.
Reality is a concept that best remains solid, I contend.


I think not. This is an appeal to your messiah to forgive me of sins that I did not commit. Why do I need forgiveness? I cannot lie; I do not believe that Jesus is the son of your god, nor that Jesus died for me.
So you are perfect then, OK. He came not to save the righteous but the sinners who know they need saving.


A science case? I think you mean a hypothesis.
I mean backed to the hilt with material proofs, and solid evidences, and observations, and repeated actual testings, etc. A case based on good hard science.
That really is different than an assumption that has no reason for living!


If you reject science, then there is nothing more I can say to you.
I don't reject PO methodology! I simply put it where it belongs, in it's little pace.


Unless you can explain to me why we should assume an alternate natural, then yes (don't go all 'Where is your scientific evidence for a same past???????!!!'. It gets old real fast).
If you can't prove the present natural was in the past, why would you expect someone to prove some other natural was??? Just say "I don't know, science does not know". If ever you do know, do tell, now, eh?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch here, the bible dances all over the past and present, and future!!! We can know! You can't. Don't blame me.


Care to show me an argument that is both logical and unscientific?
Love.


I am not blind. I am aware of the posts of others. What is your point? We were on a half-hearted conversation about dollars and pounds.
Right. Better to drop that.

But those tales are a lot more plausible than your own.
In your mind, the crack that gives life was a rock crack. Not everyone finds that as plausible as you.


No answer. So they weren't known. That's all you needed to say
Known well, and long by billlions and billions! Funny it is 'not known' to you.
Refresh my memory, did not you say you used to be some sort of Christian? Why I ask is that if that is true, you likely would have said you had some reasons to believe it yourself, one time, no?
If you were lying, why would we believe you now???

God depends on the Natural being different? Why?
How would I know, you just made it up, you tell us???
I say the past and future natural as described in the bible are different. I see no need for some tooth fairy pixie god, flying around doung miracles for all the trillions of differences that would have been needed.

Except even the Bible says that Adam died. In fact, most everyone in the OT meets a demise sooner or later.
The gift of God is eternal life, even though the wages of sin is death. Only our bodies die, we will get new ones.

Look around, you think this is natural, as God would make it, or a result of sin?



So your idea of mercy is murder. One would wonder why your "God" would bother letting anyone be born in the first place.[/quote]
No, He had to limit our lifespan, so we s would not get so wicked so fast, we would not be able to be saved. God gives life.

And this means something??,
It means we expect a fossil record where man and mammals, and many plants are absent in the early record.

That does not prove you right, it is not evidence for your cause
But it knocks you out of the ring.


That does not prove you right, it is not evidence for your cause
It invalidates your dates.


And even if this is true, it is in no way evidence for a split, the spiritual, is something beyond our world,

Right. But for those that believe the bible, and see yours is just assumption, we can walk, head high, smirking at science now, rather than trying to twist the bible to comply with it!
We can also see all evidences we do have fit.

you are the only person, on this planet, I know, of who believes, that the two separate worlds were joined at any point in time, the spiritual is known worldwide, for always being separate
Show me anyoneone that 'knows' the spiritual is always seperate! What a weak claim! Name anyone that believes in the bible heaven that thinks we won't live with aggels and God Himself one day!!!!?


This is not creation vs evolution. This is about you evidence for a split, creation or evolution does not come into play here
Creation happened in the past, as rockcrackism was claimed to have done. Your total inability to prove it was a past that was the same state as the present is the crux of the matter.


No they do not, a soul/spirit is able to inhabit a physical body during life, and at death travel to the spiritual world
No!!!! That is only true for a short time. We come back with Jesus to get our physical bodies raised from the dead, so that we will, like Jesus, have our complete immortal bodies, not JUST spiritual!!!! Why else would we need the our old bodies, or atoms or dna, or whatever from them?

Again, I ask for evidence for a split
I gave a link with lots of bible evidences.


Do you have one fact, or one piece of empirical evidence that supports you theory? (if so enlighten us)

The ressurected body of Jesus! It was spiritual and physical.
