Are you suggesting you personally clarify the independent basis by which facts are established? Do you accept the fact of plate tectonics? If so, how did you determine the underlying facts that support that theory?

Interesting list. Wonder how mine would be different? I have read 18 on that list. I think I will look for Penrose—The Road to Reality

A dictionary definition of evidence is good to start with "the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid", work for you, or do you have a different definition

Hard to beat your logic

Hunh, no, I don't make the Ayn Rand mistake because I am aware there are many flavors of Christianity and many interpretations of the Bible and other Holy Books. Which raises the question of why whatever god exists cannot or will not make things plain and understandable The fact that I can read...

Wow!!

Perhaps I do.

God is a word. I don't hate words. I wrote God because Clete used that word. I wrote your God because Clete used that word and to differentiate it from Allah, Thor, etc. Why do you always seem so angry?

To paraphrase Sgt Friday "Just trying to get the facts, Maam, just the facts" Because some people make a big deal of "no death before the Fall" and read that as NO DEATH, which seems a little different than your reading. When I say death, I mean actual death, physically, since I dont accept...

How would Churchill have prevented WWII?

First question I have is how long was the period between Day 6 and the Fall?

Then the definition in ancient times is the same as now. "Blood" is found in vertebrates.

"blood" is the circulatory fluid in vertebrates. that is a definition--see how easy that is. You seemed to have trouble with a definition earlier

Generally blood refers to the circulatory fluid in vertebrates. Haemolymph is the equivalent in invertebrates and plants I guess would be---sap? So using the Biblical language, only vertebrates are alive therefore the "death" of anything else preFall is not considered death.

It was a serious question. "Life of the flesh is in the blood" does that mean without blood there is no life? Or do you need both flesh and blood. Or does it only refer to vertebrates? Or is is a particular reference to humans? Or only connected with humans because other animals do not have souls?

then you Sorry about that double quote. You have not provided a definition. It was a simple question

define blood.

I think you missed the point. The issue was a question about death prior to the Fall. According to JR's post 17 all death does not equal death in the Biblical sense---plant death does not equal death. Do you agree with that? What death counts as death? Insect death? invertebrate death?

Is that the question that drives the decision? If a Marxist Communist dictator, who thinks nothing of killing those who speak out against him, threatens a big war--is it a walk-over for Putin, he gets to do what he wants? He gets to put more people under his thumb? The guy with the biggest gun...

Ukraine has been independent since 1991. Yes, it was part of the USSR. Also I think at times part of Poland and or Austria-Hungary? But sorry, using your analysis the US should still be part of England, there should be no Israel. And I'm not certain that its modern development was all at the...
