True wisdom will come from being humble and understanding that there are many things in this world that you will never understand.

So in other words...magic.

Did I say magic? I meant "supernatural".

Science 101 is down the hall.

Materialism isn't the subject here. You're transposing a modern materialist world view onto a non materialist one.

Magic is something used by witches and sorcerers. Mostly today, smoke and mirrors. Which are you, the smoke or the mirror?

Gosh, ouch. I'm hurt.

So it is "supernatural" then. And exactly how is that distinguishable from magic?

Yes, it would be foolish to think you know everything and equally foolish to avoid inquiring into all things.

Chad, I am mad at you for making me give you kudos TWICE in a single day!

WTF??

@stone

Well this just proves your whole analogy to be bullshit.

Your first problem is that when you don't understand something, you make up answers and call it 'truth'.

No. Regardless of what you suppose this totality to contain, you cannot avoid the fact that change is a product of time, and time itself is contingent upon the very existance of this universe.

I ask you again...

If the bible posits that God created the universe...

Which inherently gave time meaning and existence as time and the universe are one in the same.

How is it that the God you defend existed in a state of change before change was possible?

Come on!

You're better than this!

Don't make up guess works to conform to your beliefs.

What is this telling you?

It's obvious...admit it!!!! Lol Wink

If you take the God part out of it, it's merely seeking understanding for yet another phenomena that also has an explanation.

You don't have to just keep jamming god into the equation where he obviously doesn't fit!

I believe you're smarter than that.

Don't change the subject home slice Wink

I'm applying logic, combined with a modern understanding of scientific knowledge to a fairy tale. You can call it whatever you want, and I can point out your excuses for avoiding the objection every time, but until you have something intelligent to add to the discussion, I'd recommend that you just continue feeding Wooters kudos. Your responses are distractions to others that wish to gain understanding and actually display the intellectual capacity to achieve some.
