Let's first agree that the bible is historically accurate. Remember that other historical texts validate the bible and also that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference. (I think Nelson [Nestor?] Glueck [Gluek?] said that last part). We know that Moses lived and roughly when he lived in history. Now, God talks to Moses and tells him what animals they are allowed to eat:
1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: 3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.
4 “‘There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. 5 The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. 6 The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. 7 And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. 8 You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
This is actually a complete list. There are no other animals in the world that fulfil these descriptions. We can either conclude that a) Moses was well traveled and cataloged every animal he could find, or somebody told him (ie GOD).
edit: yes, I understand this does not prove anything. Just something to think about.
I assume that everyone atheistic believes we are a product of random chance brought about by millions of years of evolution. This is something that is completely unproven and in fact requires just as much faith as belief in a deity. There are 6 types of evolution:
Cosmic Evolution: the origin of time, space, matter, big ban, etc.
Chemical Evolution: higher elements evolving from hydrogen
Stellar and Planetary Evolution: creation of stars/planets
Organic Evolution: life out of non-living materiel (ie, it rained on the rocks for millions of years/lightning/heat/pressure/whatever and now you have primordeal soup)
Macroevolution: all forms of life on the planet share a common ancestry
Microevolution: creatures reproduce according to their kind
Of these six, only one is supported by evidence. The other are supported by theory and faith.
There is no scientific proof the first 5 exist. Remember for something to be scientific fact it has to be testableobservableand repeatable.
My faith in God is no less religious than your (this is a generality, not directed at a specific person) faith in "science."
I was checking out Kotaku today and noticed that Blizzard had unveiled their new difficulty level. Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno. Here's the link. What do you think about it?
Hey, I know there are dozens of older threads out ther about this, but I figured...what the hell.
My computer is about 4 years old and at the time could run Crysis decently. It's at the point where new games will not run on it. I'm not too worried about being able to play D3 on it, but there are some others that concern me. I'm a Mass Effect and an Elder Scrolls fan and want to be able to run those. Looking at the Skyrim game play videos, I don't think my computer can handle it. Can somebody help me out with a build (for not too much money) to be able to play Skyrim at...say...at least XBOX 360 quality? I'm looking to spend under $600, I already have screen/keyboard/mouse/speakers so don't worry about that.
Does anybody know their way around GIS applications...especially ArcMap10? I'm trying to do some self taught stuff and had an old teacher send me the course requirements for the GIS class he does. Anyway, I have a map, now I need to code multiple addresses into it, preferably from an excel file, or something tab-delineated. This is the only forum I'm active on, so you get to answer my questions! Don't you feel lucky!?!?
Go ahead and purchase your humble indie bundle 3!
Link is HERE.
You pay what you want and your money goes where you want.
I think in the past the more money paid to the bundle, the more content you got.
Go ahead and sign up. Great games.
I was just thinking about playing this again.
I was, however, under the impression that certain quests were unavailable on MP games.
Is this true, or is it just significantly lower chance to trigger?
Wow. I was expecting to see maybe 50 bucks or something. I'll be sure to let Hpnot1Q know when I get a key and let you pay for my collectors edition of d3. I could wait 4 extra months to play for that kind of money
I was just thinking about this today when I was looking at the Blue Tracker. Everyone is (understandably) obsessed with the D3 beta and the so-far lack thereof. I was wondering, what is a beta key worth to you. Say for instance that Blizzard releases their beta keys and I happen to get one. Me, being the astute business man that I am, immediately offer my beta invite on Ebay. How much would you be willing to pay/how much would I be able to get. Now, I'm sure Blizzard has some preventative measures to keep this from happening, and if I get a beta key and you don't...TOO BAD. But, hypothetically, how much could you make selling a beta invite?
So, I'm at a new job and have been doing training for two weeks. Today is the first day of process training and I have to be up at 4:30. So here is my sleep deprived question for the masses...
Ya, it is kind of stunted. I don't know how long it will really hold my attention, but even in the 2-3 months a long time ago when I was paying for it I don't think I played anything over level 25/26ish. I might have kept going if I was playing with somebody, but an MMO without friends gets kind of dull. Next time I log in I'll see what server I'm on and let you know.
