WLC on why Einstein is wrong
|
Who gives a flying fuck what he thinks?
Maybe we should get Katie Price's opinion too. Its equally as valuable.

Wait....
One of the most intellectually dishonest people on the planet doesn't accept relativity? And I should care why? All that ever needs to be known about WLC is from the following quote: "…it is the self-authenticating witness of the Holy Spirit that gives us the fundamental knowledge of Christianity’s truth. Therefore, the only role left for argument and evidence to play is a subsidiary role… The magisterial use of reason occurs when reason stands over and above the gospel… and judges it on the basis of argument and evidence. The ministerial use of reason occurs when reason submits to and serves the gospel. In light of the Spirit’s witness, only the ministerial use of reason is legitimate. Philosophy is rightly the handmaid of theology. Reason is a tool to help us better understand and defend our faith…" Not sure why anyone takes this clown seriously 
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. 
If the past, present, and future all exist at the same time...wouldn't that mean free-will is an illusion?
For example, since my future decision exists already, than while I chose that decision, only one outcome is possible which is the future one that exists already?  RE: WLC on why Einstein is wrong

Or maybe we should stop thinking that the terms "past, present and future" are actually good descriptors for anything in our universe. The whole free will debate is flawed IMO.

The whole free will debate is flawed IMO. Why is it flawed? Btw I don't think free will doesn't exist because of past/future thing. Even if there was no future and we all had a soul it would not exit either.
Because it's an irrelevant argument to have. For starters most people don't even have an accurate description of what free will actually is, and regardless of whether we have free will or not there's nothing we can do about it and for all intents and purposes we are in 'control' of our futures.
