    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    Back before Russia began encircling Ukraine on three sides, we were some 'distance' from WWIII. When Russia began building up their forces to invade, we got a little closer. When Russia invaded, we got a little closer. What's happened to our chances of global nuclear conflict in the meantime...

    Which makes the abortion dispute that much more thorny. Pregnancies from a rape can be seen as punishment of the victim, who has already been unjustly punished by the unconditionally violent criminal himself. So many people have difficulty not permitting the rape victim from deliberately...

    Extend this conceptually to murder though. What if in some universe murder is difficult to prove, maybe people can kill with their minds, and there's never and physical evidence of who did it. That situation doesn't render the right against being murdered any less absolute. The two are, as...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    No I don't think so. Pressure is pressure, if you have pressurized gas cylinders they can just sit there indefinitely and all that stable pressure (omnidirectional force, iow a scalar quantity, meaning all outward vectors) will remain in the cylinder, but at any time if you drive a nail into...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Agreed. Water that's underneath say 10 km of rock, at about 3x the density of water, is easily at supercritical pressure, and plus there is still some natural supercritical water today under the seas. Black smokers Super critical water is what we're supposing the fountains of the deep were.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    It would have been an earth capable of the Flood. It would still take divine providence to bring it about, whether through indirect means and permission, or through direct intervention, @Clete 's "cork" popping. This anyway is the theory we're working with, rather than God more miraculously...

    Eh, you get used to it I guess. Wore ankle socks all winter for the first time this year. Our temps vary from -18 to 38 basically. Boston.

    False and your proof text does NOT prove your point. But the wine was and is real wine. Which has been the point all along.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    What am I even thinking. Water above the atmosphere is in vacuum. It'd vaporize instantly or freeze solid or both.

    Ukraine Crisis

    Plain. Not when it's entirely due to macroeconomic intervention in the market, that's literally the opposite of natural growth in value. Nobody . . . nobody is buying rubles because of gold. 100 USD notes are actually worth more than their weight in gold, in contrast to what you're saying...
