40 days ÷ rain x 106 minus the average diameter of mountain at sea level....

To really 'respond' to the so-called problem we will have to bite some other bullets. Point number 1 doesn't get us anywhere if we don't agree that all things are possible for an omnipotent God. We have to sort out whether true omnipotence still comes with some ontological limitations. IMHO...

That's nice. That's nice. That's wonderful.  Fixed your post 🧚‍♂️

Thats not making everything warmer though. It's just reversing what that same energy did in moving water from one state to another - and from one place to another. They call it the hydrological cycle for a reason. The bible doesn't say either the amount of rain or that rain was the...

I don't want to engage in conversation with someone who has accused me of being an apologist for rape. ...and you shouldn't want to engage in conversation with someone you think is an apologist for rape.

So you agree with me? Its not legally enforced compulsion to abort the baby? Many women DO choose to procede with their pregnancy despite potential risks. Maybe you missed where I said if there's no medical care that can save both the mother and the unborn baby then saving one at the expense...

You mean decades after Jesus' Resurrection. You know...when He was alive and well.

It's not my job to convince people that theism is false. That's you guy's job. Better get cracking. So many theists. So little time. If I died and found myself in a Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist afterlife atheism would be 100% false. But my theism would still be at least partly true.

It's impossible to present evidence without asserting that you had sensory evidence of the thing you claim is evidence. Question - how do we know they measured the ice caps? Answer - Because they made the assertion that they did - they claim they saw the ice caps melting. Maybe 100...

There's a huge double standard going on here. On the one hand, it's being suggested by skeptics that we should reject competing theistic claims simply on the basis that they don't all agree. On the other hand, those same skeptics won't accept the one thing which all those claimants DO agree...

The assertion is the evidence. All evidence is derived from the senses - even sincere, sane, bona fide, corroborated claims of scientists who say the polar ice caps are melting.

It's not "an idea". Claims are not "mere claims", they are assertions of fact. Brute rejection of another person's sincere, sane, bona fide, corroborated assertion of fact isn't rational unless you show cause why your rejection is warranted.

No Do you reject the epistemic idea of corroboration?

It opens the door to speculation, yes. Start with the real possibility that there is a Higher Being....a Higher lifeform, in this monumental, multiverse plane of existence. Then process the relevance and meaning of the local landscape of your own existence. If you then still sincerely...

Yes. Saint Nicholas was a real historical person.

Yes. Two people both reporting that they experienced an act of God/God.

Already answered. Already answered. I deliberately ignored this question. I wouldn't 'think' anything. Don't bother nagging me for an answer.

Are you saying there's a legally enforced compulsion to abort the baby? The statute doesn't say that. It it only compels hospitals to offer. Thats what I just said, and its why I quoted Rosenbaum. Jimmy Higgins said "...in grave danger due to fetal maldevelopment." I assume you're...

Agreed. There are different semantic meanings of the word love. I love pizza. But we can't legally get married. (Puritan bigots won't let us.) True. Also true. Henry the 8th died long before the KJV He was succeded by Edward the 6th. Then Mary Then Elizabeth THEN James Witness...

True. But it's not nothing. You're sweeping a LOT of corroborated and semi-corroborated testimony under the carpet. And youre simultaneously making the extraordinary claim that all those reports over tens of thousands of years made by billions of your fellow humans are ALL deliberate lies or...
