  1. Its time ,(history wise) that we all ( the world ) stop spending on guns , and shooting each other ( words as well )and start shooting for Mars ( skys not the limit )

     

    Time to start thinking differently .

     

    Big subject ,

     

    Mike

     

     

  2. 2 Peter: chapter 2 ............

     

    Ill leave it at that ,this time around ,

     

    Its been a hoot , but the real world beckons , as im sure it does for most of us ,

     

    Last one out close the door .

     

    Over and out

  3. 6 days could be 6 Eons. I could believe THAT but getting $#! t loads of water from nowhere, when the earth is pretty much a closed system is not on. I reckon on the seventh day HE took a rest. and that EON isn't over..Nev

     

    Hebrew : Day = yom , a period of time

     

    6 periods of time .

     

    Also the bible gives a specific time when the heavens ie . atmosphere was MIST that covered the whole earth , then the heavens opened up and it rained , flood .

     

    After it stopped the rainbow appeared ,

     

     

  4. HORSE FEATHER SAID :Same for the theory of Evolution. Just suck it up, accept it and get over your goat herder ramblings. Quote.;

     

    That qualifies as bullying , Trying to end an argument on your terms ,

  5. That is a great article Turbz. It touches on the issue of irreducible complexity.

    I remember reading this when it first came out ,

     

    Ide forgotten this and much more as we go on in life ,

     

    Just goes to show how people foolishly believe , like sheep ,the most educated , and literate , and ultimately bully any one who has , what the word of God says , is a child like Faith .

     

    I think this qualifies as ; Evidence of things not seen .

  6. Mike, how do I put this delicately.

    It refers to young good-looking mothers (yummy mummies, if you will) - and stands for a "Mum I'd Like to F***".

     

    If you really want to be enlightened on a surprising number of words and expressions you may not be familiar with, I'd suggest "Roger's Profanisaurus" as some light reading...

    Finally , an answer i can understand

     

     

  7. This is just an example of using superstitious dogma in advertising to sell a can of drink ,

     

    Its cool and trendy , harry p and the like .

     

    Ide say the advertising agency that got the contract , would be in for a nice bonus .$$$$$$$

  8. SKEPTIC said :Why was I born in Australia where I can feed myself and have money left over for an iPad so I can waste time on this crap,while the little kid in Bangladesh or somewhere has to search through theswamp to find a rat to eat. Again, not fair. QUOTE :

     

    In the OT its suggested that God "TRIES our reins ( horses reins)

     

    Maybe ,as there is enough prosperity in this world to cloth and feed and house every one so we could all live confortable .

     

    If there is a God and a judgment day ,

     

    Theres gona be a lot of red faces ,when it comes down to who had what , and what they did with it .

     

    So much spent on Posturing's and the Military ,( list goes on) and the like .

     

    Not saying that any one can do much about it on there own .

     

    This question was leveled at Jesus ,

     

    When folk asked him anout the tower that fell on and killed innocent people ,

     

    His answer was ; ( look it up for your self ). Tower of siloham ? NT

     

    Mike

     

    Ps no spell check

     

     

  9. The impression I get is that Mike's talking about religious experience as the basis for belief, rather than learned religion, which would make it a very personal and non-denominational view of Life, the Universe and Everything. Could be wrong of course.rgmwa

    One last story before i go and shoot some pesky rabbits ,

     

    One example ( many over the years ) was i was offered a job to make a set of bevel gears for Bonnell brothers at Bundaberg

     

    Cast gears need a pattern to be made of each gear . I had been making furniture for years and hadn't done much engineering work ,ide mever made a set of gears .

     

    Because i needed the work i took the job on , and on the way back to the workshop i had a bit of a prayer ,

     

    I said : qote ; Lord , if you want me to do this job you'll have to give me this knowledge , or send some one to help me ,

     

    Within half an hour of staring at the specs , i sat down on the floor and ( woe is me )

     

    An old bloke walked in lookong for the bloke next door , looked on my bench and said : Involute bevel gears ,

     

    Isaid do you lnow how to set one out ?

     

    He said drop by home and ill get my old books out ,

     

    The example he had in his 1933 engineering book was exacly the the specs i needed ,( they have to set out and made in pairs so they mesh properly)

     

    Coincidence ? , may be to most , but as i said , this has been the story of my life

     

    Its been one provision after the other .

     

    Mike

     

     

  10. Im a one finger typist on an i phone ,

     

    Every second word i have to correct .

     

    I carnt realy express myself or defend what i have come to know .

     

    But i do no this , as you have found religeon to be , so have i ,

     

    I look forward to meating in person one day soon and maybe over a nice red or two have a meal and a chat ,

     

    Regards mike

     

     

  11. Its starting to sound like that old cracked record again , must be the time of day , or night . Nobody's trying to ram anything down anyone's throat .

     

    Feel free to not read any more , or not post ,

     

    Its sounds like to me that its hit a nerve , as they say , or in my case it was conviction .

     

    In my experiance , the harder people resist , the bigger the revelation when and if , you finally humble yourself and the big G finally decides to reveal him or her self , ( genderless i would imagine ) to you .

     

    Theres nothing that can compare on this earth .

     

    Just sayin , not bible bashing .

     

    Mike .
