In science, a "theory" is not a collection of conjectures, assumptions, or guesses, reformed. It is an explanation of observed reality that a) explains that reality, 2) is verified by others in the scientific community, and c) makes ac…

It's easy to cast one line accusations. What's not easy, at least in your posts, apparently, is providing support for one line accusations. You'll notice that I provide links and quotations to support many of my assertions of fact. You…

Recall that the president claimed Obama tapped his phones. That was a lie.
(Quote)Benghazi: Eight Congressional investigations, all of which recommended systemic improvements, but found no nefarious wrongdoing.
Unmasking: A Devin Nunes conspiracy theory that was unmasked to be …(Quote)Are you familiar with the ethical troubles of Messers Pruitt, Zinke, and Price? If you are, then I'm surprised that you would call my reference to them "utterly ridiculous."
(Quote)It's been a week since you posed this question, reformed, but today's news brings clarity to one response to your query.
The day started with Roseanne Barr's ugly, racist tweet about former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett. When p…
(Quote)Science has discovered that the speed of light is NOT constant, and that light rays do NOT always travel in straight lines.
186,000 miles/s is the speed of light in a vacuum, but not under all circumstances. When light rays pas…
(Quote)While it is true that "light year" is a measure of distance, it is also correct to infer how long light from an object has been traveling by its distance in light years. For example, light from the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light…
(Quote)Doesn't the current reality of stellar formation from dust and gas rather than "with age" - a reality that you acknowledge - demonstrate that it wasn't necessary for the first stars to have been created created with age in order for "l…
(Quote)An excellent and insightful point, Jan. Thanks.
(Quote)But this response does not address the question I asked, reformed.
In nebulae, we observe stars in formation - being created - NOT with age, but "from the ground up," so to speak - from their component parts, dust and gas, in a…
(Quote)In science, a "theory" is FAR more than a collection of speculations or best guesses. It is an explanation of observed reality that has been confirmed again and again by others in the scientific community, and that makes accurate predi…
(Quote)(Quote)And yet again, Dave - this time to Wolfgang - you display your unwillingness to engage in serious discussion of issues, or to address directly the questions posters raise to you. Instead, you reply to Wolfgang's thoughtful textual anal…
(Quote)You chose not to respond to those observations at the time I originally posted them, Dave. Perhaps you will respond to them now.
(Quote)In his Acts 2 sermon, Peter tells the Jews that theirs were the "lawless hands" that had crucified Jesus. (Acts 2.23) If he was willing to tell them they had killed Jesus, I think it's reasonable to assume he would have been willing to…
(Quote)Here we agree. One God.
(Quote)One God, who is Father, and one Jesus, who is Lord. Two distinct identities. Two distinct roles.
Once again, Dave, I have dealt directly with every verse/passage you cited. And once again I ask you to provide the same con…
(Quote)The old "I know you are, but what am I?" defense. Neither helpful nor original, but when your client is Donald Trump, it's perhaps your best option.
** In in Mr. Trump's Presidency: The Beginning of the End or more of the Same? Comment by Bill_Coley May 2018
(Quote)I'm not a good enough student of history to judge whether the Trump administration is the most corrupt EVER. But I am a good enough student of American history over the last 50 years to know that by orders of magnitude, this is the mos…
(Quote)There is no verse that says explicitly "Jesus is not God;" but then again, there is no verse that explicitly says Jesus was not a pumpkin, either. In my view, the Bible doesn't have to rule out every thing or role Jesus played in order…
(Quote)Again you choose not to address ANY of the six verses/passages I cited in my post before last, or the point I contend they made. In my last post, I dealt directly with the three passages you cited, and added three other verses for you…
(Quote)Peter hopes for his reader's knowledge of God and knowledge of Jesus. A clear distinction between the two.
According to the NRSV, an alternative rendering of v.1 is "...of our God and THE Savior Jesus Christ," seeming to refer …
(Quote)Jesus is their lord (kyrios), the one whose direction and guidance they will follow.
Finally, consider Genesis 23.1-16, where on more than one occasion the Hittites call Abraham "lord" (kyrios, in the Septuagint). To them, Abra…
(Quote)Is there a more trusted source for objective analysis of social ills than Dana Loesch of the NRA?... Well, of course there is, but let's not let her lack of bona fides distract us from asking the question begged by the hypothetical of …
(Quote)The fact that the proposed gun law changes I listed would not have affected this particular shooting is not relevant to the prospective value of those laws. For example, universal background checks would be a good thing, whether they p…
(Quote)And in our nation, when the laws in place produce insufficient results, we amend the laws. It happens all the time.
(Quote)The church can and should step up, as should parents and school districts. But the church has a limited sphere of influence. Laws, too, have limited potential, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have them.
(Quote)Laws are necessary because hearts aren't always right.
Why do we have to have laws against murder? If everyone's heart was right, no one would commit murder, and there'd be no need for laws against it. But since not everyone's …
(Quote)I think you had fair reason to expect more obedience than I offered to the title of the thread you created, reformed, and so I, too, apologize.
I acknowledge that with the passage of time and the collection of shootings after w…
