Excellent point. He could certainly have collected youngsters, male and female, rather than full grown adults, and fulfilled his command, and its purpose. I suppose it's also possible that even though juvenile dinosaurs might have been on the ark, that not all of the species survived the trip...

They are both concerned with truth, or with facts. With true propositions. I would say that science is concerned particularly with things that can be measured is all. But as I ponder your question I'll also now add that science is also unconcerned with ethics and morality, and philosophy...

Very interesting. So the idea is that the earth was created a solid hunk of rock, and that the flood caused its insides to liquify? So that means no earthquakes or vulcanism until after the flood then. Very interesting. Given this idea, and the competing idea, which let's just call the...

Is part of the nightmare the composition of the Supreme Court? Cos it looks to me like it's still 6-3 in favor of Republican nominees.

There's very little difference between a constitutional monarchy and any other form of liberal democracy. In all cases, the rule of law prevails, constitutionalism prevails, separation of powers exists, the regard for human rights prevails, and the military is under civilian authority, instead...

As opposed to a legal obligation I guess. I don't believe there are ethical obligations, though there are certainly conditional ethical obligations (e.g. if you want to reap a harvest you better sow some seed). Legal obligations that are not also moral obligations are temporary, while moral...

Who actually protects the rule of law? What is the backstop or failsafe for the rule of law? We all know that the Constitution is the highest law in the land, but what if the government established by the Constitution fails to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution? Then there is no rule...

I don't believe that you know the status of Page's privates either, so why are you commenting?

It has something to do with politics if law enforcement is involved in most any way. If anybody in the above is being penalized by the police, then politics are involved. Otherwise, politics is not involved, except that even if l e is not involved, it's not because they couldn't be...

I know nothing about this. For all I know, he or she or neither he nor she is a real hermaphrodite. If so, Page has the right to choose which sex identity he or she or neither he nor she is most comfortable representing to the rest of the world. Human hermaphroditism is a gruesome...

I agree. Philosophy precedes science chronologically and logically. Science requires philosophy, and not the other way around. Science became its own distinct discipline from philosophy, gradually I think at first, kind of beginning as philosophy of nature or natural philosophy. And ethics...

What's your point.

I don't see how, but I welcome your argument. Indeterminacy is either elemental to the universe or it is not, but regardless, we can't tell the difference between it being elemental to the universe or a nonlocal hidden variable pulling strings. And in either case, there can be no unified...

From Wikipedia today: 'Si vis pacem, para bellum is a Latin adage translated as "If you want peace, prepare for war"' Preparing for war, means bearing arms. We have a Constitution that reads, that the right of the people to prepare for war, shall not be infringed.

Is there an authoritative definition of these two terms? My lay investigation says no. There are different views of what these two concepts are and of how these two concepts interact, though every one of them does explain ethics in contrast with morals in some way. One way is that ethics is...

Heat? A lot of heat. Why, is this your area of expertise? Melting planets? Who are you, Thanos? ;)

The universe is composed of particles. Particles are like the blurry edge between matter and energy. According to cosmologists, for every 20 parts of the universe, there is only one of them that is neither dark energy or dark matter. Additionally, the universe is composed, elementally, of...

I'm not claiming that they're really that old! I'm only claiming that all the relevant PhDs (with a small minority of exceptions) say that all of their methods and instruments calculate that the dinosaur fossils are "millions of years" old. Do you agree or not? Not with the content. But with...

The issue is that we're told the fate of this earth in 2nd Peter 3:10 and 12, we hear it read to us in Mass. It sounds just as fantastical as Genesis one does, but I've never heard Catholics try and say that 2nd Peter 3:10 and 12 aren't science, is all. We believe this is all going to be...

It's not. It's specifically correcting a notion where one's ecclesiology is thought to determine his or her or neither his nor her status with regard to God. That was my point. But in the Garden there was no life-container that had to die and get boiled in order for its soil to be fertile...
