No need. If you agree to the basic concept here, of the thread, we can then fine tune, however.

So you cannot demonstrate that the image posted is not the correct interpretation?

Sorry if I'm not up on the loonie tune theories. I don't believe in any gaps, just 6000 years. And a known spirit world, that has known effects on the physical!

God-O-Gaps is what happens when things previously though to be supernatural or supernatural in origin are demonstrated to have be natural or have natural orgins. Volacanos and tornadoes and eclipses etc.
Which is exactly what you're proposing. Science cannot currently explain something, therefore it must be supernatural and can never be explained.

Known effects you say? Like what?

Your detection of an absolute proven quantity, you mean. The track record of science detecting it's way out of a paper bag is dismal

What are you talking about? Because of science we know why events previously thought to be supernatural occur. Seems like pretty good 'detection'.

No. Trying to have solid evidence of something not solid, is not strike one, it's batty. Especially when you disregard the Homerun of Jesus, and all the other innings, where the physical only strikes out!

Don't be[font=&quot] [/font]facetious[font=&quot] [/font], what I meant was evidence that stands up to investigation.
Which you have no provided, and I suspect you do not have.

You're catching on!. It is only thought unnatral to those of the box unable to see it or touch it!

So you're agreeing with me that the supernatual is only refered to as such because it is currently outside the realms of science?

So my ideas are almost as unstable as science? I'm glad you said, 'almost'!

I never said almost. I said 'no more stable'. Which means they are more unstable.
You admited yourself that your interpretation could be wrong.

"Prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord..." And millions have. Don't think that the physical only science of the box is the grand exalted judge that all things must fit into!

This had nothing to do with what I said.

The speed of light, when in a complete spiritual/physical state is limitless.
So I'm guessing the implications of this 'infinite speed' are negated as well?
(Isn't the heat from the sun caused by light emited from it impacting and releasing engery?)
Energy is not limited as it is here either. Mass is not physical only either. These are a few indications of the extent of change we are talking about here!

Again, speculation and posturing.
"Wheres the beef?"

Physical only science has only one part of the equation! We could not expect it to arrive at an answer regarding the big picture, and dates, and orgins.

But that wasn't what I was talking about.
Why is your interpretation of the layout of the universe as detailed in the bible, correct when others are not?
Nothing to do with science.

I can accept that.
But I do expect you to give some justification of why YOU are correct.


Nice handwaving, but it doesn't work.
Can you say, with 100% certainty that the 'supernatural' will never be explained by physical means?

People once thought that epilepsy was caused by demons.
IOW, it was thought to be supernatural. Now we know better, that it is the result of increased electrical activity in the brain 'arc' between hemispheres and causing a 'cascade'.
This is an example of the 'supernatural' becoming natural.

Healings, ressurection, answered prayers, esp, ghosts, demonic influence, angels, fulfilled prophesy, medicine men, etc, etc. etc.

Well done. Prove these and you'll get a cool million from James Randi.

Then what do you suggest?

Glad you are seemingly somewhat baffled. I guess I'm like the 'spirit/physics guy'!

let me sum it up for everyone:

dad: AHA! my RANDOM GUESS MAKES PERFECT SENSE IF YOU SUSPEND ALL PHYSICAL LAWS!! HAHA THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR THOSE EVIL EVOS!

everyone with a working brain: you're an idiot

dad: JESUS LOVES ME MORE THAN PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH ME

other christians: shut up, dad

dad: I AM INFALLABLE AND ONLY I CAN INTERPRET SCRIPTURE CORRECTLY AND I AM ABOVE THE COLLECTED WORKS OF ALL SCIENTISTS OF ALL TIME EVEN THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE ALLMIGHT DAD

everyone else: time to move on... this thread is pointless and will not go anywhere

One thing's for sure, Dad's not dumb. He's somehow managed to get a lot of smart people to take him seriously enough to keep arguing with him, despite the evident fact that it's not going to do a speck of good.

Not that I think this will do any good, but I'm bored as well, so why not:

Glad you are seemingly somewhat baffled. I guess I'm like the 'spirit/physics guy'!

Hey "dad," didn't you say that the "spirit" world and the "physical" world split when Adam sinned? So what exactly held this "vapor canopy" in place for the couple thousand odd years between Adam and Noah?

Excellent. I'm glad some people are paying attention. Under this new idea in this thread, we have the split taking time to completely split. Kind of a slow burn. In other words, it now would not have split until the flood time. Perhaps some things were affected right away, others took more time?

Very funny, how can the keystone cops of box science be expected to investigate anything but the box?

Hold still, you're dodging again.

Currently

Good boy, thats just what I wanted to hear.

OK, so my ideas were so bad they were no more stable than modern science!

More to the point, there's no way to falsify your ideas.
The moment something 'supernatural' is revealed to be a normal process or whatever, you can just claim there's still more, or we don't know enough or somesuch excuse.


Proving God is a well known test

I thought that you couldnt prove god, and that you had to accept his existance on faith alone? Or is that just an 'interpretation'?

We won't need any heat from the sun any more. How things have to work in this physical only universe we see is great, but we cannot dream of limiting merged forever realities with pitiful, puny, present processes

I'm not talking about 'needing' the heat.
I'm talking about the massive amount of energy that would be released when particals moving at an infinite speed impact.
Unless of course you're going to say it doesn't matter, and we'll all live in a magicworld without consequences and without evidence or justification or basis in reality.
A fantasty land if you will.


I gottacha.

Everything you've been talking about is you trying to rationalise the inconsistances that the your biblical interpretation has with reality.
"The earth is 6000 years old, but there are stars more and 6000 light years away, therefore lightspeed must have been infinite before the 'split"
"My biblical endtimes fantasy violates known laws of physics therefore the laws must be wrong and ignorable"





You STILL didn't answer the question.
Why is your interpretation of the layout of the universe as detailed in the bible, correct when others are not?Hell, I'll even rephrase it for you.

Why is your interpretation of the bibles description of the universe correct, when others are not?
