    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    You didn't watch the videos you said you did, or you didn't pay very good attention. Nah. A ton of the Earth's surface right now is basically uninhabited (I'm exaggerating, but there's plenty of room in deserts for more life, there just isn't any water, which is ironic). Now go back...

    What's the advantage to that view? What does it explain better than just thinking of them as categorically non-human?

    They didn't have the Word. The Logos. They didn't speak, or reason. We can train primates to use language, but they never then use language voluntarily with their own kind. They never try to spread language. It isn't in them, this is a categorical difference, between creatures with reason...

    Republican Civil WAR: MAGAs vs. RINOs -- Who Will Win?

    What did former President Trump do wrt the SCOTUS? Oh yeah right he overturned Roe. Yeah he's a rhino for sure, 'hunded (remember my Boston accent, so second D can be and sometimes is silent) percent. (y)

    Republican Civil WAR: MAGAs vs. RINOs -- Who Will Win?

    It's why the Supreme Court is so censored important. We are living an object lesson, and it's being captured for all history, on every possible form of record, all right now. The Supreme Court is super-duper important to the Constitution of the United States of America.

    Before Time Began?!

    I did. My post stands. None of it means anything to me. So, like a verb then? Like how every verb is also a "time word" according to your view? Because verbs also only have meaning in the context of time? Begging the question.

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    What's technically an authority? This is one of those times when we have to come to terms, to have a meeting of the minds. What if I have my authorities, but I don't recognize any of the people whom you consider to be authorities? Then I'm just begging the question, aren't I? If I just don't...

    Before Time Began?!

    Wow and you have that same Strong's 166 word in Titus 1:2 twice "in hope of eternal life" which is elpidi zoes aioniou, and "before time began" which here is pro chronon aionion Word 166 modifies first "life," and then "time." Life eternal, and then time eternal. So life eternal is compared...

    Before Time Began?!

    I mean another Biblical phrase meaning basically the same thing is John 1:1 "In the beginning," right? The foundation of the world, in the beginning, and maybe, here in the OP's passage, before time began. Maybe they are all just basically parallelisms and mean the same thing, meaning they are...

    Before Time Began?!

    Most conservatively I'd say it means that there was a time before God created the universe. In such case it's basically "before time began," which is kind of a metonym for before the universe was created, which basically just means the foundation of the world, which is a phrase used numerous...

    Ukraine Crisis

    There's a link in a recent post in my fossils thread in the HPT forum. That's exactly what one side of the bickering says. You couldn't be more condescending if it were a school assignment to write the most condescending thing you could think of. The more important question and or matter for...

    He's looking at it like a dividend stock, not like how Joe Schmo is looking at twitter stock. Musk owns the profits now, all he wants is a nice dividend yield.

    I mean it's a computer program. Do you need 7500 people to maintain a computer program? Maybe 3700 people could maintain a computer program? Doesn't seem unreasonable. Worth a shot.

    The Second biggest evidence of the Flood. Fossils

    Is this an absolute policy for you? If instead of discussing the Flood, you were preaching the Gospel, you'd work with someone who "[approaches] it in the wrong mode," right? Even if they led with, "Christ's Resurrection and Christian faith and the Christian Gospel is pseudo-science," you'd...

    The Second biggest evidence of the Flood. Fossils

    Carbon-14 contamination of the sample or in the lab, sure. But these labs that do carbon-14 dating are well aware of the risk, so they impose policies which prevent carbon-14 from even being in the facility, to prevent contamination. (Carbon-14 can be used as "tracers" I believe in certain...
