No, Adam was fully formed (age = 0), intended to live indefinitely. God's Word (Creation) is not a lie. He has given us the intellect to read it (science).
Great way of saying it is a false image, but not a false image. Erosion doesn't count?
I'm open to a good theory on the Grand Canyon, but however quickly it was formed does not prove any argument that the Earth is not as old as it seems. Quick events can occur in the context of a long time frame.
You don't need to lecture me on the changing Earth. I was on hand to see the effects of the Mount St. Helens eruption and the Nisqually earthquake. The magnetic poles have been wandering over continental distances within human history, yet no disaster has resulted. I'm just not a doomsday junkie.
It never said that in the Bible. It is an inference made by mortal men, so if you would rather believe mortal men than what is in God's Word (the Creation), good luck.
What a lot of people misunderstand is that God's Word was first manifested in the Creation (as a work of Christ, also "the Word"). The Bible came long after the events recorded in it. I don't subscribe to any conflict between Creation and the Bible, but I simply do not believe that mortal men can divine facts from the Bible that are not stated in the Bible. Or that their interpretations of the Bible (His Word) are superior to quantitative understanding of the Creation (His Word).
According to the Constitution, ONLY the state legislatures DIRECTLY can make law with respect to elections. Not the state Governor, the state Supreme Court, nor any creature of State law. The state legislature can and should declare any such pronouncements as election interference and prohibited.
People do not understand that the state legislatures have two spheres of duty: one to their State Constitution and one to the Federal Constitution. No State Constitution has authority to supersede the Federal Constitution, and according to the Federal Constitution, the state legislatures have complete plenary authority to determine all matters concerning Federal Elections. If there is to be a judicial challenge, it must go before the federal courts.
I prefer to apply physics and mathematics, neither of which I have seen in reference to a supposed event that may be entirely subterranean. The magnetic pole has been wandering about in historical times, yet we simply don't notice it. The Earth's rotational pole (angular momentum vector) will not change; there is no torque to change it.
I don't subscribe to the hypothesis that God is a liar and creates false images of reality.
That could definitely be a problem, along with typhoons. The south coast of Kaua'i had a nice enclave of beachside hotels at Poipu Beach in the 1980s. There was a serious typhoon. When I revisited a decade later, the hotels we stayed in were abandoned ruins, off limits to passers-by. Quite a shame.
However, that is always the problem with frontage on the Pacific Ocean. No easier for California, Oregon, Washington, or Alaska. Not to mention earthquakes (e.g., Anchorage in 1964).
Then you need to contact an astronomer. Nothing unusual about its rising and setting where I live. I should ask, has this been happening in summertime?
The Outer Space Treaty is old news. The only prohibition is the placement of "nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction" in orbit. And, "States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects..."
The treaty therefore prohibits a Fractional Orbit Bombing System (FOBS).
I'm sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about. I've seen Kaua'i more than once. Far more erosion than 6,000 years.
Regarding Hawaii, you have to understand that the island chain was formed by the underlying crustal plate moving over a deeper magma hot spot. Midway Island was the first, working down to Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Maui, and the big island of Hawai'i. A new island is building to the southeast of Hawai'i. Once the plate moves an island off the hot spot, the volcanoes go extinct and remain so. The big island is 0.4 million years old, but Kaua'i is 5 million years old.
Bottom line: If Zuckerberg builds on an older island, that would be ideal to NOT experience volcanism.
I take no issue over the wisdom of any such construction. It looks to me like an affliction (or fad) of the wealthy who have anxiety problems.
To be clear, what is this "it" that you noticed (or not)?
Most encouraging Christmas message I have heard to date.
Macgregor is branching out from the strictly military-political to the economic and cultural.
My own view is that he would make an ideal Secretary of Defense. He has a deep and broad vision of how our forces need to be restructured (and resupplied) to face the future.
Can you refer me to any "world space treaties" that prohibit satellite hunters? I used to design orbital weapons and no such treaties were ever mentioned as a constraint.
I'm open to the subject, but your argument is poor. Natural chemical processes are subject to thermodynamic conditions, such as temperature and pressure. It is possible that high pressure can disable a slow process. And that a sudden reduction in pressure (e.g., by extraction of the reaction product from geologic layers) can enable the stalled process to revive and continue. Something can stay corked up for a long time, once all the easy paths have been blocked.
Dream on. We still depend on satellites and submarines, not imaginary super-weapons.
Satellites and submarines.
You have to understand their code-speak: "democracy" = rule by Democrats. Once you understand this, all their rhetoric reveals itself with literal truth. E.g., Trump is, indeed, a "threat to democracy." I hope to God.
"Gall," but only a spelling error. Full speed ahead.
And I was just being accurate. You don't have a thing against me other than your dislike of my critique against the sloppy thinking being pursued on this page. So you have company. More's the pity.
(If I had a "track record" it wouldn't be a matter of "opinion." You dream up support where there is nothing.)
Nope. You flunk.
That many?
Just as a character witness, I can vouch for Rummel (correct spelling). Once upon a time we worked together on a book project for the Reason Foundation. He was straight-up, honest, and meticulous. As a libertarian, he was highly critical of government-sponsored genocide. He is all about "receipts."
Oh, and you were there to bear witness? Or who was? You do know there are stars we observe that are farther away than 10,000 light-years? They had to exist that long ago in order for their light to arrive today. And that's not the farthest distance we observe, either.
