If a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing Christian falls out a 73rd story window and plummets to the ground at 32 feet/sec/sec, what will be the outcome when said Christian reaches the sidewalk?

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.

Someone will have to clean up the mess, I suppose. A little Windex should do the tri-ew . . . Maybe not.
Unless they forgot to hit the ground, but there are theological implications if a human could do so. Or is that the Babel fish I'm thinking of?

Science will take a hike.

Depends on what you mean by "final". The guy's body is doomed, sooner or later, barring ascension, but his immortal soul defies science!

He will make an impression on the public.
What you're overlooking though, is that my thread is supported by the book of Revelation, which shows the earth clearly in existence.
This is the same concept that can be used to show that Abraham knew his son would be resurrected, despite the fact that Abraham may not have known anyone who was, since God mentions Isaac having children.
Your problem is, you don't have any Boolean Logic to support your OP.
If a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing Christian falls out of a 73rd story window and plummets to the ground @ 32'/sec[sup]2[/sup], and the Bible mentions said Christian calling his wife the next day, then rest assured that when he hits the pavement, he won't die.
As I have shown before, even though Jesus' heart burst inside His chest cavity, which should have killed Him instantly, He still made three more statements from the Cross.

Perhaps both, if the Christian is right. The body will make an ugly stain, but the Christian's soul will tell science to take a hike and go to Heaven.
Realistically, I tend to believe that the ugly stain is all there is.

Hiking is fun

"Knowest thou not that to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that you have none, apart from God, neither protector nor helper? S. 2:107"
"I know where Odin's | eye is hidden,
Deep in the wide-famed | well of Mimir;
Mead from the pledge | of Odin each mom
Does Mimir drink: | would you know yet more? Völuspá 1:29"
"Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. Moroni 10:3-5"
"A time is envisioned when the world was not, only a watery chaos and a warm cosmic breath, which could give an impetus of life. Notice how thought gives rise to desire and desire links non-being to being. Yet the whole process is shrouded in mystery. Rig Veda"
Random quotes are also fun.

It's not really gravity that has the final say, it's electrostatic repulsion. As the old saying goes, it's not the falling that's so bad, it's the landing. The reason a falling person stops suddenly is because the negatively charged electron clouds of the atoms in the sidewalk repel the like-charged electron clouds of the atoms in the Christian's body. (This is why all solid objects, which are mostly empty space, don't simply pass through each other.) The kinetic energy dissipated into the Christian's body as a result of this repulsive force will cause considerable damage.

On the plus side, if this were to happen in New York City, it's quite possible that said Christian would have a big hit on Broadway.

That would be a vote for ugly stain then. Science does indeed take a hike when it comes to immortal souls, so there's no reason to vote for it in regards to the body.

Since most skyscrapers have windows that it is exceptionally difficult to get through I'd have to think there is a good chance our falling christian did this as an intentional act. That would mena that he either deicded on an act that Jesus declined to do (See where Satan tempted Jesus) or he intended suicide. Either way I think this means he is in deep trouble.
