How old do you suppose this planet really is?

[Kaido]

The elements are infinite. Earth is 100% recycled. So it depends on if you want to know how old the bits & pieces or, are the date of manufacture

 

[Kaido]

The earth was created and then given form over several days and by the time the 6th day rolled around we had people, animals and foliage.

That assumes the units of time measurement are the same. Look up 2 Peter 3:8.

 

[Kaido]

I'm back from vacation. How did the thread turn out?

Ask Slartibartfast.

 

[Kaido]

I created the earth last Thursday so it's only a few days old.

How come you didn't leave the dinosaurs here?

 

[Kaido]

I actually wrote the Bible

How come you didn't use Google Translate? Over the years, it seems like there have been some translation errors in the same vein as the telephone game.

 

[Kaido]

How can you claim both? Either it's the words of God, and you're following it, or just a bunch of jibberish that mentally challenged people imagined the words to be whatever they want. Choose one.

West Wing actually had a good segment illustrating this:

And all of these complex, rational sciences explain how a bunch of bipedal creatures with fulfilling lives full of relationships, stories, music and art (the human experience) who poop, pee, and procreate via shitting babies out vaginas came to be.

Living on a giant ball orbiting a giant fireball.

That's not absurd because evidence supports it? It's absurd even if there is evidence.

And I'm not going to state this again: I am only pointing out that all explanations for the origin of life are ridiculous and absurd.

Que stock responses that ive heard before, including the one above.

I'll give you a few minutes to realize you're arguing a strawman.

Need a hint? I'm just pointing out absurdities--both magical and rational explanations are totally absurd.

Seriously ?

The language and understanding was very different back then.

The Tower of Babel incident really screwed things up...

 

[John Connor]

Apparently. LOL

It was a total jerk move on the part of God, no point in it but to be a jerk, like a brat sibling kicking over your blocks.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

It was a total jerk move on the part of God, no point in it but to be a jerk, like a brat sibling kicking over your blocks.

The entire old testament was nothing but jerk moves. Even if such a maladjusted, petty, insecure, vindictive entity could be honestly viewed as a "supreme being" why would anyone worship him? Kick him to the curb and invent a god with enough maturity so that he doesn't create humans as broken piles of shit and then blame them for being broken piles of shit.

 

[John Connor]

Yeah, the old testament is pretty much jerk move. All I really care about is that red lettering in the gospels. Very interesting stuff.

That assumes the units of time measurement are the same. Look up 2 Peter 3:8.

That whole "Is as" statement is relative. If it said "is equal to" then we'd have an absolute reference for the temporal difference. Then it goes on with "and a thousand years as one day" which is another relative statement. I've heard too many preachers use this example as an absolute reference which I do not agree with.

Not only that but then they take the 6 days of creation and use this passage to skew the meaning into that people would exist for 6 thousand years and on the 7th day the millennial reign would occur. Many believe that we're at the end of the 6th day right now. The other thing is that I don't believe that globalism has evolved far enough yet to allow for some of the things required such as the socioeconomic mark of the beast. In the season? Yes. Put a date on it? Nope. I believe that if this were the case that the scriptures would be much clearer on this matter but they aren't. Jesus does say that people would be busy doing their normal things when he comes back for the church. He also said that no man knows the day or the hour only Jehovah so I don't even try to guess.

Great big onion surely?

You don't think Trump is going to usher in the Armageddon?

Why not a parfait? Everybody loves parfaits, Shrek.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Trump is the reason that the GOP fought so hard to keep him from the nomination in the first place. He's the party's own Armageddon and every day he opens his mouth the damage increases.

Onions go better in Martinis though...

at least the small ones.

I've always preffered olives though, less layers.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Speaking of onions what do you guys think of that blooming onion the Outback sells? I really like them.

I haven't even went to the Outback here in many years.

We used to go a lot was funny one time we had some friends from NY come down once and hit a n Outback we normally didn't go to. We had a local one we'd hit normally, but was over in mouse land.

Sat down placed our orders, and then just sat around for about an hour waiting and just bsing, drinking beers,etc.

One of the servers finally showed up and asked us how the food was delivering the check, I pretty much said we never got our food without being a dick about it.

The food that came out about 5 minutes later was pretty epic, I think they doubled everything, you could not have piled more on those plates.

We had a few leftovers, I don't think I would put Outback in the high end fine dining range, but they do try to please the customers.

Haven't ate a blooming onion in a long time, but you have to eat em fresh really, they never reheat very well.

It takes a bloomin' onion to fully appreciate the role your gall bladder plays in digestion.

Too many 3rd world areas without any reliable communications infrastructure or power grids to institute a globalized standard governing all aspects of life. The global clamp down that is coming will not be escapable which is a very easy feat these days. Not being able to go underground requires surveillance that is not yet in place indicating that there's still a little bit of time before this happens. How long remains to be seen but the bible is clear that in those day there will be no place to hide.

Not being able to conduct any kind of transaction unless you have this special indicator seems to denote that a stable global communications network will have to be up and running everywhere in order to validate whether or not a person with the mark is authorized for that type of transaction. Since this mark will also be forced upon you then persons without it who refuse to take it will be beheaded indicating that this system will not be anything less than tyrannical.

We can see elements of this system in place now. For instance, your smart meter keeps track of everything drawing power from the grid and can generate a monthly report showing your power usage by class. If you were trying to hide in your home your smart meter would report on the specifics of your usage. If your stove and other food related appliances were showing high usage they'd know for sure that you had food. They'd also know that someone was in the structure.

I also wonder about mandatory electronics such as your smoke detectors. What if these mandatory devices do more than we are led to believe? Since they are in every home and office what if they did something like offer authorities the ability to listen in on you without drawing any attention from you? They are everywhere and if they did something like this then you could be heard at home without your knowledge or consent making hiding at home impossible. You would be speaking freely giving up personal information like combinations, door codes, key locations, safe combinations, credit or other account numbers, etc,. allowing them to access your personal information quite easily without any paperwork or warrant. Corrupt people could use it as cover to deny their illegal actions. There are so many possibilities about how this could go.

It definitely an onion. I have proof!
