This is how the Church's first martyrs saw martyrdom, because of the everlasting glory. I can't wrap my head around that one, but I'm trying.

But that's what I said. It only works in our neck of the woods. In order for it to work everywhere we have to invent hidden matter and hidden energy because otherwise the necessarily implied gravitational constant must swing wildly and apparently arbitrarily all around. Every galaxy has its...

LOGOS must also mean content and not only form. The Ten Commandments are almost basically called, in Greek, the "10 LOGOSes." DECALOGUE, DECA 10 LOGUE LOGOS.

idk what that means. It sounds Aristotelian or Thomistic. That's begging the question. I read your argument and I remain unconvinced, but constructrively unconvinced I think. There is a word LOGISMO /logismon /logismou /logismos which does literally mean reasoning or logic (it's obviously a...

Our math only describes gravitation in our neck of the woods. Therefore it can't be a real, immutable law of nature or physics. In the literature I'd be called a physical law irrealist. (Compare to a moral law irrealist, someone who doesn't believe in evil in any absolute sense, there is no...

idk if I know what that feels like or not. It's definitely not a united front, idk if that's your experience over there? a united front against you? It was from the beginning (of the internet). There were multiple philosophy forums of course, but for theology, TOL was the only game and only...

I'm there too, but I haven't looked into surgery ... yet. Have you done all the available surgical options? or are you on the brink of having to decide to go under the knife now? I have to modify my lifting program according to my current chronic injury. I'd love to do one exercise in...

1 The most important thing to have as a middle-aged or old, man or woman, lifting weights, is a good supply of micro-plates, which are much smaller than the standard smallest weight plate out there, which is the two-and-a-half pound plate. You need two of those plates to make the smallest...

Ukraine war still burning. We the West are funding Ukraine, against Russia, which is in the East. Israel now wages a just (defensive or preemptive) war in Gaza. The West is divided over whether Israel is in the West or in the East. And it's a paywall for me but here's the front page...

Don't forget we've been dumping free money into Ukraine and they're still not even in the top ten.

They were able to evacuate a chamber. Why not weigh the chamber before and after, make a valve and disconnect so that the vacuum tube is detachable? Weigh the thing full of air and then empty it and weigh it again.

Now do the American founders. Here's my top handful: 1. Murica 2. Germany & Japan 3. the UK 4. France, Spain, Italy 5. Israel 6. Canada and Australia and New Zealand 7. South Africa 8. Belgium & Switzerland 9. Russia

Will they agree to include teaching the kids to not plagiarize? and that plagiarizing doesn't pay? also in the curriculum? or is that asking too much?

I couldn't find the Clown World thread but this will work here too:

Right. It's unnecessary to say so.

I think it's easy to know, and it's because the temptation is a key plot point in the story. The story doesn't go without a plot, and a plot doesn't go without a plot point. The primary plot point is the temptation. I think it's fair to ponder what it means that the only way God could make...
