  Re: Brick Testament: First Glimpse of the Promised Land
 
Hey Brendan, Great as always. Giants: LOL on the old-style figs with the big round heads. I've got one of those from my first set (I think it was 111). I had been expecting a bunch of Hagrids or Jack Stones, but these were funnier to me. The use of (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Well, the only human immolating that went on that among the Israelites that I know of is the call for the sacrifice of Isaac (which was recanted anyway). Still, I would explain such interpretations of God's will as just that-- contextual to (...) (19 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I don't know that it's arrogant or naive, though it might be unjustifiably optimistic at the moment to call it "simple." Gould isn't saying that Hawking/Penrose will, like God, be magically able to terminate the regress; their intent is to (...) (19 years ago, 25-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Well, I'm trying to be strictly accurate there. It's not that the evidence proves the conclusion, it's that the evidence doesn't contradict the conclusion. If we had (for example) two conflicting ideas about the origin of the universe (the Big (...) (19 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Well, that's pretty unfair. That's like saying we NEED an answer, and if we can't come up with one, creationism is correct. If you go back to 500 BC and asked people why lightning happened, I'm sure they could come up with answers. But just (...) (19 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

  Re: The Brick Testament - More Teachings of Jesus
 
(...) Well, I think the issue is that the Bible gets treated differently than most other written works. I find that your (John's) particular take on Christianity is something closer to "inspired from the Bible" rather than "based on the Bible". The (...)

(...) If, by "ignorant," you mean "lacking knowledge," then the answer is yes. Science definitely accepts "we don't know," but it doesn't posit that as a final explanation, either. The correct framing is "we don't know/we think it's like this/here's (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Heck, by that metric, I'm more loving and merciful than God. (...) Sorry, but that's as much a (...) (19 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
