Time For This Challenge Again

[bhsmte]

Truth can be disturbing and unsettling, but truth nonetheless.

Truth can also be demonstrated, with something other than personal opinion.

Sorry. I was referring to admission and treatment time. Hospitals have lots of empty beds that need filling thus the fast admission. Of course our systems are different. You can afford to get sick, many Americans can't.

In todays world, if that hospital cant justify that admission is medically necessary, they wont get paid by insurance.

Now you burn anyone in the womb with saline solution and use their remains to heat your hospitals, don't you?

Thanks for the report from the Telegraph from 2014. This reprehensible practice has been stopped. Numbers are a little vague - "The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an investigation has found." It never tells us how many were used this way

I still don't get how you could use such a report to feel superior? Yes it was a dreadful thing to do by a small minority of NHS Trusts using "private contractors" if the reports are true, but it does not happen any more. It really seems like you are grasping at straws here.

I'm always amazed how a person can go from:

I don't know how hospitals are heated - can you back up your claim.

... to:

Yes it was a dreadful thing to do by a small minority of NHS Trusts using "private contractors" if the reports are true, but it does not happen any more.

... within seconds.

It tends to make me suspicious of the person I'm dealing with.

Because I read and accepted the source you provided. You use this as evidence of..........what I'm not quite sure and you are suspicious of me?

Cool. Man can define whatever truth they desire for themselves. If they want to convince others they have the truth, just spewing opinion is going to fall short with many.

Everyone, even (gasp) Christians have some truth. Here's one that most don't know.

Flossing teeth.
You must floss teeth until they 'squeak' to be most effective.
You should brush and floss daily before eating anything. Bacterial plaque begins to produce enamel etching acid within minutes of eating refined carbs like sweetened cereal, orange juice, etc.
Waxed floss is worthless as it doesn't remove plaque. It just smears it around. Unwaxed floss removes and absorbs plaque but must be used generously or it is no better than waxed floss. The largest diameter floss that will fit between your teeth should be used as well.

Proper flossing is crucial for the prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis.

And the 'godawful' truth is the neither your dentist or hygienist will tell you this.

Do you work for Johnson & Johnson?

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, but things that are actually true are true for EVERYONE.

Yes, but it is determining what is "true" that is the challenge. Is it true everyone should floss?

 

[Kylie]

Yes, but it is determining what is "true" that is the challenge. Is it true everyone should floss?

The word "should" implies opinion, and thus a "should" statement could never be an objective truth, which is what I was talking about.

It is objectively true that flossing does have many health benefits. However, it could also be objectively true that for some people, there could be risks that outweigh the benefits.

The following link may not address the "700nm range", but might be informative.
"Creation or evolution?" is not much of a challenge for the one that know God and His written Word. Theistic evolution is even out of the question.
"In the beginning God created" are the very first words of the Bible.

Holy men invented the false belief that their writings were written by God. Book worship is a religion of its own. It’s a form of idolatry or fetishism.

Were they willing to die for something they knew was a lie?

And not just a lie, but a lie they themselves fabricated?

Oh no, the elite preist class who rewrote the Old Testament didn't get martyred, it was the rank and file years later! Today they mainly make a laughing stock of religion! We need to rescue Jesus from the Bible!

I guess that means Islam is true then. Lots of people have died for their faith in THAT religion!

Or maybe the people who knew it was all made up are now dead...
