Re: Merry Happy or Whatever
Why thank you, AZ Paul3. Christmas i all a marketing ploy, and one could argue that an eternal Deity never really has a birthday except to become human for a season. (I added the whatever to preserve the consensus) But seriously I too hope that everyone has a great time,hopefully with family or friends. Lets all pile in the VW bus and go visit Faiths house. She may be up to baking cookies.

Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul

2020 Christmas Correspondence
Since this topic was started one year ago by Faith, I will reprint her letter to me via email. She might get mad, but I wanted to share it with all here because we are family, even if we dont like each other all that much.
quote:
Hello Phat/Craig/Thugs
Merry Christmas!
Had the opportunity to use another computer recently so took a look at the forum. Didn't get to read mucfh of it but did find Percy's post about banning me and the thread of reactions to it. Hard to understand how I tolerated being so despised for so long. I do appreciate the posts thta object to censorship and the very few who say something positive about me.
Wish I knew where to find another forum I might enjoy but my efforts haven't yielded anything, and besides my eyes are much worse and I may soon have to give up the internet completely.
Also saw where Pecry says he's blocked my email because I kept sending him information about Hydroxychloroquine. Too bad there is such a prejudice against that drug and for all the wrong reasons though I suppose I can't persuade you of that either. I consider it tragic, even criminal, that a drug that could have saved tens of thousands of lives has been the victim of stupid excuses for scientific studies and even stupider politics. I hope I can get hold of the drug if I ever need it.
Hope you're doing well.
Faith

For starters, I wonder why she holds such a grudge in favor of this one stupid point and why it matters so much to her to be right? I like Faith and wish her a Merry Christmas. I am sorry about her declining health. And I wish she would just drop that whole argument...but apparently she wont.
So to everyone here: Consider that in her own weird way she is wishing you all a Merry Christmas. You too, Percy.
And I wish you all a grand Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year as well!

***
far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.- Dr.John Lennox
The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.
- Criss Jami, Killo
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him. Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
(1894).
