Do you know the difference between creatio ex nihilo and creatio ex materia?
-_- yes. Creation from nothing and creation from existing matter. I am assuming you are including energy with the latter, based on your commentary. And I am telling you that no place on this planet naturally has sufficient conditions to produce a loaf of bread from energy alone, let alone the typical amount that would be found inside a vacuum chamber. The amount of energy required would be so immense that you wouldn't even have to be near it to feel it, and it doing so is so unlikely on Earth that for all intents and purposes, it wouldn't really matter if existing energy drawn from the universe from various places was used or if the energy was generated specially for the purpose of making the bread. This would be a miracle.

Do you have a magnum opus to date?
I would say no; none of my posts or threads shines above the rest enough to warrant special notice. Some of my posts are better than others for sure, but there isn't one I'd call "the best".

Hmmm ... okay.

How will you recognize it when you make it?

I most likely wouldn't. I am my own worst critic, viewing all posts I make generally as garbage. I depend upon the responses of others to determine if my posts are good, I could never objectively judge my own writing.

Do you have a post or thread that you consider your magnum opus?

If so, list it here.

I consider two threads to be mine:
  1. My Apple Challenge, which shows creatio ex nihilo leaves no evidence.
  2. My Raisin Bread Challenge, which shows you can't make something ex nihilo without being accused of deception.
Note: this thread is not for debate purposes; only to list your accomplishment(s).
Mine would be my “Adam and Eve Materialized on Evolved, Populated Earth.”

Your knowledge base impresses me.

It should be impressive since I've just graduated as a Biomedical Sciences major. Impressive in terms of biology with an emphasis on medical aspects, that is. And some chemistry. I'd rather not have wasted years of my life in college.

It's not the information, but how well I communicate it, that my inner critic bashes. XD I don't think I'd participate in debates if self doubt constantly made me question my own knowledge to an unreasonable degree.

Maybe God wants you to use it to glorify Him on the Earth?
