Is the firmament firm? What happens if you crash into it at Mach 5 or more? What happened to Voyager when it did so?

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

Let us contemplate on this for a minute. What do you think are your personal chances of getting to travel to the Firmament (Genesis 1:6) with one of these rockets? Highly unlikely? I thought so. In contrast, our chances of traveling up to and beyond the Firmament are 100% certain with the assistance of Jesus. He has personally promised to give us access to His Eternal dwelling place!

1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Medicines work for sinners but do not give Eternal Life. Prayer works much better, it heals and gives Eternal Life.

James 5:14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Computers are totally OK as they enable us to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to a wider audience. That way the sin of sodomy by Turing can be recycled into the Goodness of God! Jesus always wins!

Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Our goodness overcomes all evil!


Yours in Christ,

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

Science lifts spacecraft into orbit and beyond. It produces medicines that work. It has given us computers and the internet, which you are busy abusing. You may well owe your life to an atheistic gay mathematician - Alan Turing. (I'm not gay myself, BTW, not that it's relevant.) I've made a pilgrimage to Bletchley Park. Have you?

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

Barry, this is the worst introduction I have ever read. You haven't said one word about your walk with Jesus, which church you attend, whether your wife has borne you some sons, etc.

And you're apparently a victim of a pop-up blocker that can never be disabled? That's odd.

FYI, I don't walk with imaginary zombies, nor do I attend a church, mosque or any other sort of temple. I am an atheist, you see. I have two biological sons, two biological grandsons, and four other grandchildren acquired following the deaths of their natural parents (plus others that still keep in touch after my wife and I helped them in their periods of special difficulty). So, FM, what do you make of my FAQ? Most theists accept the truth and reality of evolution, regarding it as the way in which their god created all the wonderful variety of life that we see. Do you have a problem with this?

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

You sure ask a lot of funny questions, Barry.
(By the way, did you notice our names rhyme?)


If we were incapable of reading, how could we be sending all this information to you so you don't rot in hell? I noted you didn't even give my post to you any response. Perhaps it was because you were stunned by how simple the truth is. Perhaps you are just rude.


You are insulting baraminology - one of the bases for my field of doctoral study - despite being told countless times that the Bible is the source of ALL knowledge. Want to know how to kill a giant? It's in there. Need to know what happens when you get a haircut? It's there, too. My perfect, loving and all-knowing GOD gave us a book that is beyond all other books. It is the book of books. And in this book, which contains several books, we learn about creation, forgiveness, life everlasting, with some recipes and poetry thrown in so we don't get bored with all the begats and whosoevers. Praise God!


Well, Barry, since you won't take it from a PhD or a future PhD, I assume you'll be the dust that I wipe from my shoes (Matthew 10:14). Tell the devil I said hello.

Some idiot from your site keeps sending me spam emails. Please remind them that I have a very strict spam blocker and an anti-popup. If they want to communicate with me, do it via this forum's posting mechanism.Thanks.

No, I owe my life to God. He has given us all the things you say "Science" has given us. He even created the scientists, you know?


Praying works. I just prayed for cake and coffee for breakfast, and you know what? That is what I had.

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

How do you measure what "works"? By its capability to produce technology? Medical applications? Predict observations? If that is your criterion, naturalistic science does work. You look at the fossils of Pakicetus (from the floodwaters that carried it inland more than 4000 years ago) and see that it reminds us of artiodactyls. You predict that this is visible in its DNA and, Lo, it is! They are related (of course, God made the DNA's relatively similar). In this manner science "works". We do not measure success in that manner. Creation Science works because it leads people into Heaven. Heaven is forever. 90 years on Earth will dwindle into insignificance after a few trillion years in Bliss in Heaven. It is only in Heaven when we shall see what "works".

Matthew 5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

We do not produce technology or material innovations. We are the Light that brings people unto Jesus. That is the True™ measure of things. Not how they "work". In this manner we do some tangible good that not only produces pistons that fall apart but permanent Happiness in Heaven.

Matthew 5:16
Let yourlight so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.



PS: The cargo cult reference is just an ad ridiculum fallacy. I'll ignore that now. You'd do better if you concentrated on the content of our posts and refrained from the fallacies (obviously, you're high on ad hominem).

Re: Please allow me to introduce myself

Science works, Elmer. This is the most important distinction between real science and your cargo-cult "science".

How do you measure what "works"? By its capability to produce technology? Medical applications? Predict observations? If that is your criterion, naturalistic science does work.
