No. I've never heard of Justin Johnson. Watching his video on the attributes of God now. (I won't have to time to watch it all this morning.)

He's certainly the best that is on Christian television - by a mile! I'm pretty sure he was an Acts 2 dispensationalist, which led to some unavoidable errors, but, leaving relatively minor doctrinal issues aside, he was indeed an outstanding teacher. I cannot, however, agree that he was the...

Asking GPT about accelerating the dime within super-critical water was smart. I hadn't thought to do that. However, I read nothing there that's inconsistent with what I'm saying. The mechanical stresses alone.... "it could heat up enough to start melting or even vaporizing, depending on the...

Excellent argument. There are online resources that can give you the numbers, not the least of which is ChatGPT, which is easily the most readily accessible. When I asked GPT the question, it seemed, without being baited into doing so, to verify that there is no material that could survive such...

Okay Lon, I didn't see this post until this morning because I've had you on ignore for a while. I can no longer remember specifically why I put you on ignore which I usually use as good enough of a reason to take people off of ignore. Here's hoping it lasts, because this is one of my favorite...

Because 360 is a very much easier number to work with. That's one interpretation but superstitious cultures probably liked the "perfection" implied by the number 360 and they concocted all sorts of beliefs and ceremonies and rituals and the like surrounding the extra days. So what? Are you...

The videos explain the answer to both questions.

Escape velocity, I have no problem with. It's the idea that these very large amounts of material were flung, not just into orbit around the Earth and not just around the Sun in extremely eccentric orbits but that way more material than that was flung clear past Mars and even out past Neptune...

So, look you guys, it doesn't do anyone any good just to relegate these ideas to something so simplistic as parallax and/or the apparent angular size of an object in one's field of vision. These effects are real and have been experimentally verified to happen. In high-energy particle...

Again, the fact that an object takes up a smaller and smaller amount of your field of view as it gets further way, nor anything else related to parallax for that matter, is being discussed in those videos.

I don't think the fact that an object takes a smaller amount of your field of view as it gets further away has anything to do with it.

None of them had ACTUAL 360 day calendars! They used callenders that had 360 days but they all added the extra five days in one way or the other. The point here is that Bob's theory is their use of 360 days is a left over from the time before the flood but that's speculation. The fact of the...

Okay, so I want to point out that I am limited on time with these posts and that because I don't have all day, everyday to spend on this stuff, I go a lot on memory from what I've read in the past and on the fact that you guys are usually very honest and quick to agree about one point or another...

Exactly! Verse twelve explicitly states that "there is no distinction between Jew and Greek". I mean, I don't understand how you didn't just concede my point! By your logic Romans 11 doesn't apply to us either because Paul is talking about Israel throughout that chapter, and Romans 12 and 13...

100% true! Welcome back, Dave! I've missed you!

Quite so, which was the point I was making. He wrote it in layman's terms. I'm not saying that he couldn't write the stuff up in more scientifically formal ways and do the math and all that. I'm sure that he is very capable of doing so. In fact, I wish he would, or, if he has done so already...

It was no less called for than when he said it to me. Indeed, more so because I actually responded to that point by demonstrating that a month can be pretty nearly anything close to 30 days and, in fact, the passages of Genesis are not there to intimate to us that months are 30 days. That isn't...

No kidding! That's what I already said!!!!!@ What planet have I been transported to here?!!! And says nothing at all about how it could actually happen in real life.

On the contrary. I've read the book and watched the videos and NONE OF IT addresses the issue I've brought up. It's taken till today for you to even act like you understood the argument I was making and so you haven't addressed it either. I'm perfectly open to being shown that I am wrong but...

In other words... Don't confused me with the facts... I've already made up my mind.... got it.
