Re: Observation/Truth
Your post demonstrates two things.
Firstly that completely erroneous processes can sometimes lead to correct conclusions.
(Although I have to add that I don't believe that many people were really confident that a new ice age was coming in the near future !)
We know that your "prophecy fulfilments" rely on misrepresenting the Bible and it should be quite obvious that there is no reason to suppose that twisitng the prophecies in your favoured direction would produce valid predictions about the future.
However, although the power of falsehood has serious limits.
quote:
I apply some of this logic to aspects of the Biblical record regarding events such as a global flood as well. Then via logic I conclude that properties of the atmosphere must have been very different before the flood etc. T
Firstly you are NOT applying logic. All you are applying is the dogmatic worship of Buzsaw. The reason you "believe" that the atmosphere was different is because you cling to the baseless and false assumption that this can somehow explain away a large amount of evidence that proves you wrong. It can't. And you've run away from discussing it often enough to KNOW that you have no case.
And you can forget about your disgusting habit of whining that I'm being mean for pointing out these facts. You brought the issue up. So I'm free to point out that your "logic" leads you to complete nonsense.

Wrong DBs illustration of a designer proceeds from an axiom, the conclusion of which is irrefutable. However, if you think you are better than all the others that have tried, go for it. Provide another possible explanation than the only known three.
Nobody has to. If your statement is truly correct then it is entirely trivial and gets you nowhere. I pointed out that fact in the earlier thread.
I'd also add that you might do better to let this thread settle down and learn something from it. Since you don't understand logic at all your interjections are generating far more heat than light.

I'm saying that much of what is axiomatic to the masses is not logically compatible to the data and/or the interpretation of data which others holding a minority view may apply.
Buz, making up bullshit excuses is not logic nor can it really be called an interpretation of data. If you think otherwise then you're wrong. Plain and simple.
