Sin and the Blame Game

RE: Sin and the Blame Game
What you think it means, for one.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Time is not a basic measure, it's relative, meaning it can be measured differently according to point of view which is EXACTLY what the scripture 'defines'.

Do you guys lose the ability to apply basic reasoning skills when it comes to discussing anything Bible related?


Are you implying that human beings do not use standard measures for the passage of time...? So, if we agree to meet at Starbucks in one hour, and you show up after 4...you're excuse would be; "it's all relative"?

I'm not implying that at all, humans have a standard of measuring time based on the rotation of the earth and it's revolution around the sun, but what if you were telling an alien from a different planet to meet you at starbucks?

God isn't human, he is an eternal being so it's ridiculous to assume he measures time according to our standard.

It's clear that you're prevaricating, if that's what you mean.

Now please explain your understanding of relative time.

Didn't read my response to LFC?

Let me ask you something, do you disagree with the statement "time is relative"?

It depends on how you're using it. I don't disagree with the scientific understanding of the concept, but I may disagree with yours. That's why I've been asking you to explain what you mean by relative time. I'm just trying to nail your trousers to the mast.

Well... yes, that's why you are being asked for clarification.

You are equivocating. The hideously complex concepts of time as discussed by cosmologists are not the concepts of time as espoused by fundie Christians.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I don't think "time is a direction in four dimensional spacetime, so I am not late in my relativity" would cut any ice with my boss. Time is used as a standard measure all the time.  a year is a year the world over.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
