Dude, even if former slave owners immorally got tax money for losing their slaves, they're all dead. If you can't let it go, all you are doing is perpetuating hate.

Is that a yes or a no?

So you are saying the universe is old and at least the solar system is young. Do I have that right? If so, the bible in context has God creating light in the first 24-hour day, which does not fit that conclusion. And beyond that, to say it is rather conclusive ignores all the anomalies that...

That's the problem with this idea. Not only does the language dictate a 24-hour day by the context, but science says the solar system, even more so the earth, and especially biology, are younger than the long ages required by common descent.

Ssssooooo... It's wrong to argue over Scripture?

JudgeRightly gave you the strongest argument why you are wrong. However, the weaker argument you rely on is the scientific, or material, argument. But since you rely on the material argument, you should understand you are wrong even on your own terms. By your terms, when you say "very old" you...

I don't get to tell this story too often so I'm kind of excited when I get the chance. My father was a biologist in the late 50s early 60s and he heard the doctor that gave rise to the "common knowledge" that humans only use 10% of their brain. He was able to hear what the doctor actually said...

I'm curious if you've looked into the difference between the document theory and the tablet theory?

His problem isn't the canopy per se, but using the canopy as a device to promote KJVo, and berating other people because they didn't agree with KJVo. But outside the KJVo reasons, the reasoning he uses to believe in a canopy isn't all bad.

Hunches aren't made to say much about the nature of the thing hunched about, except in general terms which have already been stated. I know. But when CO2 is higher, higher pressure makes it easier to breath. Not beyond the general idea that has already been presented. As I said before, the...

So I just looked up Hovind's understanding of the "cap on the atmosphere". Although he says things similar to me, he bases some of his ideas on KJB-onlyism. It causes him to have to twist what the bible has to say about the flood. I didn't know he was a KJVo guy, but for all he gets right (and...

I'm not sure what's going on in the Hovind world. I only followed them casually, and that was years ago.

I haven't changed what I've said about the canopy for a number of years. In fact I remember having this conversation twice before on TOL, and I think either you or JR, or both, were involved in at least one of them. I remember having to remind whoever it was , repeatedly just like this...

So what's the difference between what was 'capping the atmosphere' and a 'canopy'? Isn't the one just a simple way to say the other? Also, BTW, I haven't proposed a water/vapor canopy, because it may not have had water to speak of, if any. So is what we've been discussing this whole thread not...

It's only lame if you had considered it to be more than speculation from the start. The idea was never more than I claimed it to be.

LOL. This is why it is called a hunch! A suspicion! A guess!

When the evidence doesn't point to a clear cause, that is different than evidence against a cause. The evidence we have is vague and my guesses based on it are entirely reasonable. This is entirely misleading in that people that evangelize common descent don't make it clear that their guesses...

I'm going to get to other posts when I can, but I'd like to point out quickly that I'm not proposing a water/vapor canopy. I've been clear that whatever was at the top of the atmosphere, if there was anything there beyond a thinning atmosphere, may have had little or no water - although it may...

Ah. I see your problem. You think the evidence of a differing air mix before the flood means anyone else's speculation (outside your own) that can be dreamed of, related or not to... anything... is being claimed as valid. This is patently wrong. A differing air mixture, plus the other evidence...

And the funny thing is the foreign business deals have to be based on 'Big Guy' Biden because that is all Hunter had to sell.
