  • 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.

I think that QM is a very good example of "infinity=chaos".

I'd like to give a reason for why there must be:

Now, anything has value so long as it exists in infinity. The domain and range in existence are (-infinity to +infinity). But I theorize that the Perfect is the only thing that includes these parameters: [-infinity to +infinity] because it is infinite. That means everything is in it, and everything together is it. It is a singularity, in that, there can only be one thing that acheives this, otherwise they would just be the equall, or, the exact same thing.

Now let's say, for the sake of example, all existence is three spankings. I know it doesn't make sense, but let's just say it is. 3 spankings is a value itself in infinity. Therefore, infinity must exist for the value to exist. Not only that, but so must every variation from (-infinity to +infinity). If it is the only thing in existence, the other variations must be cancelled out by some process. Infinity has precedence over the values in it::: if there is a value, there must have been an infinite amount of variations. Infinity is like the system in which values exist, and with that system, there must be a value that is always the greatest.

Now that was an example with the stability of "spankings" in place. But in real infinity, everything that can possibly be related to value exists simultaneously. Since something "stable" comes out of this chaos, we know that chaos does not completely cancel out, though it seems it should. Something of an infinite potency has caused values to not exist while other values to exist. It has caused some values to cancell out, while some values to stand out.

Everything has value in infinity. Nothing has "not value" in existence. The Perfect can have omnipotency and do everything, but it seems it should never not do something. What I mean by this is, if it does not "want" to do something, it will make an action not to. Making an action to not do something is just as much an action to do something. If they do not cancell out all the way, it has the ability to "choose" what to do.

hehe. ok, well the way I see infinity is as a space, volume, or set of values of some description in which things exist. it doesn't really have any other properties than the thing which exists itself. It does not nescessarily follow that the infinite is all powerful, or even nescessary (particularly when considering infinite attributes like infinitely kind, infinitely evil and so on)

Oh yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. Earlier I had distinguished between the infinity and the infinite Perfect. The infinity is a system that values exist in. The Perfect is the value that is infinite in infinity. It is the "ever-greater-than" value. It is this Perfect that I mean to be talking about now, instead of the system. It does, infact, fill this system. And it is the only thing that can. I believe that it has qualities because it is infinite.

Now, I mentioned earlier that anything that can be measured as a value, is infinitly spread abroad in variations. I suppose this might even include kindness, evilness, and so on. I believe that the Perfect also has infinite potency even unto limiting its potentially chaotic self.

Have you even GONE on Hovind's website?
Who are you asking?

Me? Many times. I also live in the same city as Hovind. I've never been to Dinosaur Adventure Land or whatever it's called, but I could visit if you wish. I've driven by there dozens of times.
