Canons are just required in order to adjudicate when needed. In spite of Paul instructing us to not take one another to court, if we somehow end up in court anyway, then we need canons. They are traditions of men, and not of God (canons are not strictly speaking Apostolic), but they are...

So the problem with the evidence is the lack of 'intermediate' species. We should, you would expect, see a much more continuous fossil record than we do, if what you're proposing is what actually happened. It's not proof positive that you're wrong, it's just consistent with a six day creation...

Are you even 'allowed' to tell people to not do something because it's evil? And if so, with what justification? It's not because you're in danger of 'burning', it's only because it's a human rights violation, and not profitable to be evil, but not because you're going to hell if you invade...

Nope. There's no reason to suspect that we cannot synthesize all the biochemicals needed to make a soup that can generate fresh life. Once you have all the right chemicals in the right proportion all you need to do is build a structure. You're going to build dozens of structures, and they are...

It's remarkable for "intelligence" to mean something as simple and consequential as "there are tons of Russian troops, guns and materiel surrounding Ukraine right now".

OK.

Weighty.

My impression of MAD is the impression that everyone who is not MAD has of MAD ethics. I'm not lying, I'm informing you, and making a representative argument against MAD, which is a challenge to MADs, defend your theory. It would be good if you or some other MAD could dispel any false...

"IMPOSSIBLE" is rhetoric. By their own admission the 'odds' are extremely long. "Impossibly" long, you'd say (I'd tend to agree), but this is an interpretation, that supports your own personal narrative, because "impossible" means to many people that the odds are zero----that there is...

I have little difficulty thinking of Mr. "OJ" Simpson as a murderer (in spite of him not being convicted in a court of America----I mean law), but I have not seen enough strong evidence to persuade me that President Biden is a rapist. I've seen more evidence to support that Supreme Court...

So again, and I'm repeating myself, if I understand that when Paul uses "the law" he means what I basically think of as the "Old Testament" part of my Bible (and I have like 40 Bibles), then we don't get the 'antinomianism' that I'm sure everybody's heard about, that's always talked about like...

You've been accused of publishing misleading information. Once you acquire this reputation, there are a lot of people who will just 'tune you out', and this is part of how sites become 'echo chambers'. I've asked you about the hospitalizations data and chart that you provided, are you now...

This is either going to escalate to WWIII or it's not; A or ~A. If it does, it will be because Putin wanted WWIII, even if unintentionally (in other words because he's an IDIOT of EPIC proportions), it will in no way be because we have the wrong American leader. It's just because of Putin...

Yes. It's my main contention against both MAD and Calvinism, they are ethically void, and it's because of their own individual soteriologies yes but mainly just because their ethics is different, and that because their interpretation of the Apostles' place in the development and operation of...

So how does that look? A mother of one species gives birth to or lays multiples both male and female who can only marry each other to multiply? Basically every species is ultimately a product of full sibling incest?

Do you mean, because we've never directly observed either one, who cares?

He's such an idiot, and I only started thinking that yesterday.

"When one species becomes another", or when a new species is generated?

Everybody . . . thinks they're on this hand. Radical, irrelevant minority extremists are conspiratorialists. "Outright lying" and "over-the-top rhetoric" are partisan critiques.
