Really? How exactly can something become 'closer' to being the truth? Does truthfulness ferment and become stronger over time? Anyway, based on that theory, the bible has been unaltered for thousands of years, a lot longer than the theory of evolution, so does it therefore make it more truthful than evolution? It doesn't really hold. It may have been a bad wording, but I'm pretty sure he was saying that, in human perspective, the more evidence something has for being true the more likely it is that it's part of the Truth, or absolute truth. The Bible on the other hand has had much of it proved contradictory and illogical, and thus has not gained anywhere close to as much bearing and evidence as evolution has. I'm no expert, but I don't think anything can be "completely proven to be true" in science, though theories often go beyond a human even trying to doubt them. And I dunno.. maybe your right and we'll never understand the supernatural aspects of the tales of the Bible, but it's up for debate. Billions (though I have heard some doubts). And I believe you are correct in that the Bible never mentions that length of the Earth's existence, that the Bible shouldn't be taken literally, and that extreme fundamentalists are crazy :-w .

I can taste the irony :-$ It was an intentional joke :-s . There almost seems to be some irony in your insult :lol: .

My heels don't hurt at all; nearly all of the pain/soreness is in my thighs. Oh, and thanks :P .

sorry to doublepost but i haad to say this the longest word in the english language is pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconvolcanokoniosis its a 45-letter-long word for the lung disease u get from breathing in volcanic ash :mrgreen: learnt it in grade 4 and w : as only 1 to get it right on the spelling test It's spelled pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. If you include other diseases and a few very technical terms, it's technically only the 7th longest word in the English language.

I don't know about the nails through the feet, but during crucifixion, nails would generally go between the two bones in your arm near where they join to your hand at your wrist. Through your palm and it would just rip free after time. Hm... warri0r45... "Expert on How to Torture People". I like the sound of that. The Romans were decent at it, but the Japanese and Chinese do the job much better :-k .

Geez, you banned us guys from saying the stuff we really think, so we're forced to talk about the stuff we don't even look at :lol: . (jk =P...ish)

Big pet peeve I have on this forum with people who play Runescape is when they put stuff in their sigs about their Runescape character which are lies. Ex, a party hat, and/or of course calling themselves a legend for playing a game. Another would be people attacking someone else for a typo. Pet peeve in real life is seeing the gaming section in my house a mess. I get really pissed when I see wires tangled up like crazy and controllers all over the place, and discs on left everywhere really annoy me. My siblings are so inconsiderate to the game consoles :-$ .

I, an most people who want to respond, do not understand the economy well enough to really answer the question properlly. Eh, I'm taking Econ next year :lol: . Hopefully we've got enough Econ buffs here to have a real discussion :-w .

If I told my mom to "Google it", she'd have no idea what I was saying.

>_< No (excluding trampolines of course [which I don't own, but friends do]), though I havn't tried them much. Are they easier, better to start on? They don't seem as safe or easy in my opinion.

I was watching National Geographic a few days ago when I saw an ad for a new "Jesus' Tomb" documentary that'll be shown sometime soon. I'm officially getting freaked out o_O.

Okay, thanks a ton. I took gymastics for three years as a kid and am fairly small for my age, so I can do pretty much all of the basic stuff. I'll look up some info, but I practice handsprings as well when I do this, so I think I'm all right. Again, thanks for the info :) . Now to get to my homework... 14 hours of it -.- .

Alright, thanks for the info dude :) . I'll be sure to look some stuff up. Anyways, to make it easier I use the compression from the three foot high mat as a form of a "spring", and with the extra height and push I land on my feet (doing front flips off my right foot), though I don't exactly stick it most of the time. Should I start out easier, or use some other technique to simply train my body for it?

Eh, anyways, this is about as logical as the Chinese Zodiac. Fun to think about, but there's really know way in heck it's true :P .

Okay, recently I've been practicing flips in my exercise room. I use a mat that stacks to about three feet up to jump off of, and I have another mat that I land on. This isn't a safety issue that I'm wondering about; I know how to land on my feet. The thing is, after doing it for 15 minutes-half an hour (trying to get it and other techniques down right), my legs feel extremely sore, and they feel like they way a hundred pounds each >_<. I'm thinking this is coming from landing hard on them, but I'm not sure. So the main question is: is this just muscle building (of which I have very little knowledge) after a workout, or am I damaging my thighs and legs overall by continually landing on them? (I'm not exactly graceful at flipping yet). Should I stop? Anyone know :-k ?

It's whoever has the most cash, period. There isn't a ton of room for creativity, just big monsters and costly traps and devices. The upstairs would have 2 grids for optimum dungeon size of course. Anyways, 18 grids max is nowhere close to the size for a real maze, just more space. Just make it big with a lot of big monsters and tough doors (marble, right?), and you've got a good dungeon.

Relatively, 50 runs really isn't any better than his amount of data.

Uh... that was a typo! Alright :P . You've got a feminine username though :P . Maybe add a masculine signature or something, this kind of stuff gets confusing :-k . Rather, we should make everyone add something to their sig or whatever declaring their gender :-k .

No, it means you are or will be abusive to your spouse.

Is this ever going to stop? Yes, most people in Runescape are impolite and idiotic. It's been like that for years; this isn't anything new. Seems to me you all just need an ego boost.

Perhaps. If he thinks my way of attaining knowlege is flawed, I'd expect him to direct me to a better one. My point is: Me thinking the Bible is the truth is not very different from you thinking science is the truth. Oh crap dude, you should not have gone there.

1,000 runs? Try 1,000 Barrows items. I'd like for once for me to be proven wrong when I think that a title stating "Barrows theory" is going to contain a total bull [cabbage] random hypothesis based on less than 10 runs of data.

My dad is pretty good with computers, can't type for his life though. My mom's just terrible all around with them. Just now she spent half an hour trying to understand how Movietickets.com works :lol: .

I'd'a preferred a cookie cake, but a chocolate chip cookie will do I suppose :-w . 10000 attempts is referring to the general Tip.it community, not me, right :lol: ? It'd be an insult I think if you were talking specifically to me :lol: . http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/omniscient Being omniscient has nothing to do with free will. Being omniscient is a state of awareness. Free will is a matter of control. They are two different topics. Just because God knows what we are going to do before we do it doesn't mean he is ordering us to do every action. It just means he is aware of those actions before they are acted upon. Kudos to you for pointless repeating what Nitra said after he elaborately explained his position. On the topic of free will, what do you guys think about our environment "controlling"? Theoretically, our actions are nothing more than reactions to our environment, and therefore the creation of the universe and everything following "controls" us. I've heard some views of us having something "more" inside us, so what is your opinion on this argument? :-k

I basically knew that, so the only reason I disagree with you is the fact that we can't escape the choice that God knows we're going to make. I personally don't define it as free will if we can't escape making that one choice. Good analogy though; it's nice to see someone logical arguing the other side of the case. Anyways, the main reason I make that point is to combat the idea of Heaven and Hell going to those who supposedly deserve it. If we can't escape what God knows we will do from the moment we're created, how does it make any sense to send someone to eternal Hell because they couldn't escape predestination? I'm also wavering on the infinite cause-and-effect idea, that being if God created the universe, everything is cause and effect, and therefore whatever God did in creating the universe would control what choices everyone made in the future. I'm not sure about that one, but it's possible. Eh, our disagreement doesn't really occur from our opinions about omniscience, but our definitions of "free will". I don't consider myself free if me fate is already set out before I'm even created. I believe that technically my definition is wrong. Is there another definition/word for us having free will, but not being able to escape fate? Anyways, I know this is an extreme shocker for anyone on this forum, but I believe I have been proven wrong *gasp*. I still stand that my point disproves the idea of Heaven and Hell though, which is what I was trying to argue in the first place :P .
