Sure, I wouldn't say no to charitable donations, though I accept no responsibility for the donations themselves getting used for the implied reasons of donating...
I believe the last rugby game I saw was state of Origin game 3 of this year... Queensland won.
You're welcome.
:banana:
Welcome to da "big show".
:think: Would you describe yourself as a hard, soft, or semi permeable Atheist?
And welcome aboard...also, thanks for suggesting the hug elsewhere. There are some things one can never have enough of, don't you think?
:e4e:

Thanks.... *now has WWE wrestler 'Big Show's entrance theme stuck in his head*
I would describe myself as someone who believes in intellectual honesty, I use the term 'atheist' for ease of reference because I don't believe in a theist god but calling myself an atheist is a bit like labelling myself an 'acucumberist'.
They are the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel.

I'm an asportist...

Hmmm .. I guess someone who eats road tar would admit to almost anything....
Anyway. You're welcome on TOL.

Well, cool then. You view YEC in the same terms as I view evolution (the everything-has-a-common-ancestor version).
So now that that's out of the way, I have an unscientific question that's just a curiosity; do you believe that most Christians would say that God knows the future exhaustively?
And one more thing. When I worked late I'd listen to Australian talk radio. Are there some rules against what the political talk hosts can say? They always seem to pull their punches on some topics.

Then this is cause for discussion.
Well I wouldn't presume to claim what a majority of people believe without having met most of them... Though omniscience would imply future knownledge so if I met someone who believed God was omnisciencent I would probably make the assumption they believe he knows the future, why do you ask?
I honestly would not know, I'm not a law buff I'm unsure if Australia has any legal restrictions (I would assume not since that would violate free speech), I'm also not much of a radio listener so you'd have to ask someone else. If I were to venture a guess (which would be purely speculation so take it with a grain of salt) I'd say a lot of business who own radio stations would encourage 'pulling punches' to avoid either biasism or to avoid offending people.
I'd love to, but I don't have time. Give me 2 weeks to make a substantial reply and I'd try.
Because most of the people I've met that are atheists, the majority that are agnostics, and also the majority of weak Christians, believe that God knows the future exhaustively.
BTW, I noticed you said "they believe he knows the future". However, I asked if God knows the future exhaustively because the problem of evil is very different if God knows some of the future but not all of it.
And that's why I asked, because I'm getting a feel for how people tend to think about that question, and then I make an off the cuff prediction about how they view the problem of evil.
Hmmmm, could be. Still, listening to Australian talk radio is interesting.
A Yorzhik sighting!! :shocked:
