Tourettes (water canopy thread)

[Baird]

Most people with Tourettes do not swear. Thats about 20% of sufferers who unfortunately are the ones that attract the most attention. The rest of us have tics that involve various muscle spasms.

Goddammit! Now I have to edit my whole sketch. xD

Lol! I have a complete sketch about Tourettes in my stand-up comedy show. =D

I reckon me and rjh should demand royalties...

Lol. Why not? You might get rich. XD

God created mankind to be perfect. To live forever without sickness, age or death. All disease etc. is a result of sin. Since man lived much longer before the flood when the canopy of water protected the earth from harmful radiation it is possible that that had a great deal to do with it as well.

Adrian: I recall you asking about scriptural support of the canopy but everyone is going completely nuts over this evolution fiasco and I haven't been able to find the post.

Here it is.

Genesis 1:6-8 - And God went on to say: "Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters." Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. And God began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day.

2 Peter 3:5 - For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.

God created mankind[...]

Evidence please.

I thought the sin point might come up, but (most)mental illnesses cant be caught. Its due to flaws in the very make up of the mind its self and therefore if creation were to be true the error clearly lies with god.

I think I remember seeing a lecture by kent hovind where he talks about this magical flying water. The hypothesis ignores the fact that water is crap at stopping radiation as anyone who has ever had an X-Ray taken will know.
If god really wanted to keep radiation away from the earth, god should have used something effective at the job, such as metal.

You forgot to mention the fact that the hypothesis completely ignores reality...

[Rob]

I thought that was so evident it was worth humouring for a moment. Perhaps Atlas was holding it up

[Tiberius]

Did you perhaps forget that you were talking to a religious fundamentalist? I doubt it's so evident for him

[Rob]

Hmm. No, I suppose I didn't forget. However, don't you find the idea of a massive bubble of proportions vast enough to kill us all interesting enough to let go beyond the first hurdle? Harry potter wouldn't be very interesting if you read the first page and went no further just because magic isn't possible.

Ah - in this case, just for you, EVF, evidence isn't required. I would add an amendment to that effect stipulating that "The Bible says God created man [...]" since the eventual demonstration of fact or fiction isn't relevant to the discussion.

Sorry!

Explain the logic underlieng that conclusion, please.

You are saying that a canopy of water around the planet earth, out in space, much like our ozone layer, wouldn't have that sort of effect? Interesting. Most atheists tend to do the opposite, saying that life itself wouldn't be possible. Has science taught you something new?

If God is not relevant to the discussion why were you using the bible to address this topic if its only valid if its assumed that God exists or probably exists, and his word was true and good?
