Re: Venusian orbit change?

Can God really take the wise of the world with their own skills - their mathematical way of reasoning? He looks like He is on track to do so. Of course what I am saying is foolishness to those trained to only think with that little assumption. You are helping me prove that this really is our (the Western) first principle - our dogma about matter.
This sounds like the advertisment to a sequel. Can Batman escape the evil Riddler? Can God really take the wise of the world? Take them where????

Re: Complete nonsense.
You know this nonsense wouldn't occur if people didn't blindly follow the musings of Bronze Age goat herders in the Middle East.
Once you guys can figure out how to keep the space shuttles from blowing up and we can justify the enormous expense of the space program to pay your inflated salaries, we may find better purpose in life than what our esteemed (and enlightened) goat herders have brought us.

boo. poor taste.
Oh alright I take it back! I am frustrated with people who dismiss spiritual impartation while seeking better understanding through rigourous subjection of writings to some sort of educated exegesis. These goat herders may have been in touch with a spiritual reality that a highly educated theologian could only theorise about, however! Subjective beliefs, while not academic, are not nor ever should be labled as complete nonsense.
I will agree with Ptolemy that the wisdom of the world is often unable to ever get anyone anywhere closer to God as a belief.
Perhaps the frustration within this thread centers around our EvC age old conflict regarding science and religion. I will stick with religion, and thus am now bowing out of THIS thread as it has nothing to do with Christ. Ptolemy refuses to preach Christ...instead preaching how Gods wisdom will frustrate the educated mindset.
The only way to "prove" the wisdom of God is to show people who God is. Only IF they accept Him will they ever understand anything spiritual.
I have been accused of being arrogant and cranky lately...perhaps my critics are right! I'm signing off to go take a nap! PB

Re: Complete nonsense.
All I am saying is that intuitive philosophy is not a useless pastime. there is more to learn than books can teach.
