I believe the Scripture says all the fish died. As far as plants go, since they reproduce with seeds and spores or whatever, I don't see that as a tough nut to crack. Seeds are survivors!

These people and others like them can shut the argument about abortion, just them existing. That's the whole argument. These two in the womb are some of the most vulnerable human organisms known to man in countries permitting abortion. One is the result of a violent rape. The other has no...

A robot with a reproductive device and another robot with either a compatible or with an incompatible reproductive device. The first robot does stuff with its own reproductive device to the other robot, or it does stuff to the other robot's reproductive device, or both, and the other robot is...

Yes agreed. She is sinning against him. So if she is breaching the contract you take her to court, for divorce. You don't rape her.

Anna, you're making it sound as if no one should read. Because it's dangerous. You do know how medieval this sounds, right? And nothing prevents an autodidact from self learning about those things you mentioned. I know all about them, partly due to formal education, and partly due to...

I'm asking a question.

OK, but doesn't that only sustain the claim that the Church is the seed of Israel, and not the same thing as Israel?

lol!

BODY WEIGHT EXERCISE Walking, running, squats, pushups, pullups, chinups, all the exercises you do without adding any weight (beyond shoes and clothing) are body weight exercises. Adding any weight, even just your 'tablet' lifting it up off your desk and carrying it to your car, is lifting...

Very good. Banana. One other thing kicking around in my mind is how all the fish died too. That means the waters were poisonous or toxic anyway, at least for a while until things settled down. Or maybe they were just very hot! That's one thing we don't have in the Bible, is the temperature...

Yes this moral theory believes in human rights but it believes that there is basically just one right, and all the others basically 'grow' out of it like a tree trunk supporting limbs and branches. It proceeds from the principle of self ownership, which is fine for unbelievers but it conflicts...

Once they are converted and regenerated, you mean. Before conversion, though the elect is assured of eternal salvation, they are not saved until they are actually regenerated by the Holy Spirit, coming to faith in the Gospel of Christ.

What do you think about the trolley problems?

Woke up this morning thinkin about oil. Black gold, Texas Tea, bubblin crude. Oil is, we are told, the degraded remains of tissue. The fact that there are benzene rings in oil is consistent with this theory, because how else would benzene rings get made if not enzymatically, within an...

So what do you think? Do you believe that all the waters of the Flood preexisted the Flood, or that it was created ex nihilo at the time of the Flood? No offense or antagonism implied or intended here, just very curious!

Thing is, He was conceived, in an instant, and before that, He was not yet conceived in Mary. So in that instant, something physical happened, something changed, even though it was miraculously caused, the effect was physical. So I find that amenable to scientific inquiry. Are we going to be...

There's no dark side of autodidadacticism or self-education. But you do actually have to educate yourself, otherwise it's not really autodidactism. @ffreeloader read some political science. Get into political theory, political philosophy, get into liberal institutions like separation of...

I hate trolley problems. But I think that in this case we can imagine one that's actually easy. Imagine there are two people [presumably fertile] man and [presumably fertile] wife, and no one else, and if they don't multiply then well that's it for the human race. But the wife resists and is...

LIFTING What's lifting? Lifting is when you pick up your 'tablet' off your desk. What I mean is, anything more than 'body weight' exercise is lifting.

Link worth reading. Argument is that it's partisan electioneering. They didn't want Republicans to nominate the first Black lady justice, and they didn't want Republicans to nominate the first Latino justice either, and when they got their chance (present day), they nominated a judge who...
