Re: The Scientific Method for Christians

No it really doesn't because you said they used feet in the bible and I said they used cubits. I'm wrong, no big deal.

Yes, it does, and yes, you are wrong. Both feet and cubits do not need a special device to be measured, provided you have respectively one foot and one arm complete with hand and fingers. For meters, we do need such a device. That was my point.

The unit of measurement doesn't matter for finding circumference because its just an equation.

Could you please back this up with Scripture?

It just cannot change.

Is pi your God or something:

Malachi 3:6:
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

I wonder how you all build homes or even your own church using pi as 3. Actually that's impossible. You all use 3.14...what am I thinking?

Why are you consistently ignoring my point about Satan possessing pi?

Haha you are in denial of so many things, its actually funny.

You are denying that pi is 3. I do not deny the Bible, you do. Why then would I be the one in denial?

Re: The Scientific Method for Christians

The problem with your hypothesis is that your question is so vague as to be unfalsifiable. For example, WHICH man weighs less that WHICH whale?

Whales vary in weight from doliphins to blue whales. Men vary in weight from 0.00 pounds (the weight of Jesus when He walked on water) to the Sons of Anak, who were probably larger than blue whales:

33And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. - Numbers 13:33

If we agree that the average grasshopper weights approx 300mg (sorry to use metric but that's what my sources use) and an average third world citizen (as the ancient Israelites would have been) weighs 75.6 kg....I'll need someone who understands the metric system to do the calculations.

Gosh as a woman I am not really science minded, but I tend to go with good old fashioned logic as to the whale/man scenario. I mean, a man can live inside a whale as the Bible points out with Jonah. That is proof alone. But there are no stories of whales living inside of a man. Obviously for something to live inside of something else, it would have to weigh less.

It seems that secular science doesn't take logic into account at all.

You mean inside a whales stomach? Human would be digested in there.
I'm pretty sure that on most of the cases the human or the whale would die.

Not necessarily ... in your case, you would give a whale terrible indigestion; however, your small size would enable you to pass through the whale speedily, and pop out of it's anus fairly intact. You would both survive.

We talked about living inside a whale not going through it. Idiot...

Re: The Scientific Method for Christians

My GOD-given wisdom remains the same: you are indigestible. I know this as your posts make my bowels cramp in a most unladylike fashion. You could live inside a whale for an entire month and survive, as your unnaturally tiny size requires very little breathable air. Your midgetness would enable you to slither through the whale's system easily, until you, much like the day you hatched from your mother's anus, shoot out of the whale's bottom. I stand by my early statement that you would both survive this very minor ordeal.

Idiot...

I heard that, sonny!

Those who scoff at, doubt or otherwise ridicule the book of Jonah are in actuality doubting Christ's own integrity. Jesus believed and taught that Jonah was a real person, and that the events described in the KJV1611 really did happen to him.

I believe the account of Jonah as literal history, but more importantly Christ believed it and I would trust His judgement over yours any day.

Christ read with authority not as the scribes.

See, this is just the sort of arrogant stupidity that science was invented to stop. What do you really, really know about whales, stomachs, digestion, or the toughness of Jonah? Do you even know which book of the Bible talks about these things?

You, a total non-expert on all these things, just said "well, it sounds true" and decided to be opinionated based on that.

So if a total non-expert on aircraft, physics, and in-flight snacks just scribbled together a blueprint for an airplane, and said "well, it looks like it will fly", would you volunteer to be on the maiden flight?

No, of course you wouldn't. When your skin is on the line, when your butt is likely to be the one falling from the sky in a rain of flaming jet fuel and small packets of mediocre pretzels, suddenly "it sounds right" isn't good enough.

Things are complicated. Things are not only more complicated than you imagine, they are more complicated than most people CAN imagine. You need people who sweated bullets to learn the facts. You need obsessive nerds who spend sleepless blue-balled nights studying everything that can go wrong. You need people who say "it looks good enough, but WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?"

Hello Landover.
I am new.
I live in the UK, and was an SDA for 10 years.
I am here to show why the middle chapter of the 1189 chapters is also the shortest.
The goals of the purpose are 1 God exists, 2 Jesus also, 3 The not ok one does as well and 4 that God allows and dis allows the not ok one, as He is mostly, if not entirely a step ahead of the not ok ones.

Hello Landover.

This statement was grammatically correct. Praise God in the highest.

I am new.

A simple statement, also grammatically correct, but it demonstrates that you should have posted this in its own thread in the Introduction sub-forum, not here in the Creation Science sub-forum.

All of this other stuff here suggests that English is NOT your first language. Can't be helped, I suppose. You live in the UK.

Hello, dear Mr. Gooch. I must thank you for your throughful post, as it is most interesting. I should also mention that we prefer it when our newcomers post an introductory message over at our friendly Introduction Forum. The purpose of this is that it is easier for our members to welcome you, as your very own thread will be at the top of the list. And, we do like to keep things as organized as possible here. The link to that forum is here:

https://www.landoverbaptist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=16

Whilst there, kindly note our simple requests at the top of the page. I shall include them here, too:

The introduction forum Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

We look forward to getting to know you, Dear.

Welcome, Mr. Cooch.
First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus and the Holy Word of God. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

If you want to debate people, THIS is the place to go.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
