Did Noah build a boat that held all the world's animals?

Astronomers have observed that about every 30 years a star dies and explodes into a supernova (ICR September, 1998). So there should be hundreds of millions of supernovas. In fact, there are far less than hundreds of millions of supernovas. I say there were more supernovas in the beginning.

Putting aside that bit of utterly garbled reasoning, you actually think the earth is 6000 years old. Oh, dear.

You didn't answer the first question.

bgamall4 says

You can't argue the supernova phenomenon. There simply aren't enough of them to prove an old earth.

You'll have to elaborate on that particular train of thought. I can't wait.

You still haven't answered question one.

Yes I have. I believe the Tower of Babel account. I don't need to elaborate on the fact that there aren't enough supernovae to prove an old earth.

And what exactly demonstrates that the earth is 6000 years old?

And you are seriously saying that you believe that people speak different languages because a small group of people built a tower a few thousand years ago?

I guess that's all pretty representative of the kind of 'proof' you require to convince yourself of your conspiracy theories.

All RED today except for Gold and Uranium. Just the way I predicted it would be. Get used to this pattern or die!

Thanks, AF. Now I need help understanding a "glute-free" diet.

You ever have Barbacoa? It's pretty popular here in San Antonio. Meat from a cows head. :-/

In that I agree with you. Our national leaders will either capitulate to disaster or they will stop the speculation. They stopped the speculation in the 1930's and they can do it again if their backs are against the wall.

What?

bgamall4 says

With not enough supernovae, what demonstrates that the earth is 4.5 billion years old? That is an insurmountable fact.

How about an absolute mountain of testable predictions and empirical evidence? What do you have for your 6000 year argument? A book written by a handful of individuals thousands of years after the supposed creation event. Hmmm...

bgamall4 says

Who are you to argue against God?

Someone with science on my side. And arguing against God has nothing to do with it. You can believe in God and still understand that the bible was written by PEOPLE, scientifically clueless people, and that much of what was written was clearly and obviously made up.

bgamall4 says

It is a known fact that a couple of trillion dollars went missing at the
Pentagon, and that a Zionist was in charge of the books. Google it.

http://www.911myths.com/index.php/Missing_Trillions

It's a known fact that you are a misleading, deceiptful Christian. Does your God not care about lying?

bgamall4 says

Kind of makes Zionism look like the most stupid political movement on the face of the earth, doesn't it, Bugsy?

What does?

Do you believe everything in the bible

Inspired word of God. Paul said manstealing was a sin. He also had a Christian slave obey the law of the land. That does not mean Paul condoned slavery.

(Ephesians 6:5 NLT) Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.

(1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT) Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them.

Clear condemnation right there. Or not.

Reality says

Boomers buying a median house in 1980 would have paid 15% interest that cost nearly 3x then median income. That's a much higher percentage of median income than the current 4% interest on a house that is nearly 4x median income. 15% mortgage on a $150k (3x median income) house would be like $2000/mo

The math is correct (probably about $1900/mo), but the median house in 1980 was probably more like $65-70K, not $150K.

dodgerfanjohn says

Per Cato institute study in 2011, 80% of US millionaires are self made and did not in fact inherit the money.

But doesn't "millionaires" including housing equity? Of course a large number of people with $1 million are self-made. Bump up the number to even $3-5 million, and you might have a different answer.

And Gary shuffles off to the drawing board...

corntrollio says

But doesn't "millionaires" including housing equity?

Some data show both with and without because it's so significant. House equity is the only reason a lot of people have a net worth.

Call it Crazy says

Or have a "negative" net worth..... YMMV...

exactly, most don't even have a net worth. They have debt.

They have debt but they own a house. Greatest sales job of our time.
All time?

Good grief Gary, who do you think knows more about the topic, you or the scientists who work in the field?

You are arguing the earth is 6000 years old. They're arguing whether the universe is 10/15/20 BILLION years old. You have no point except an utterly incorrect one.

You haven't a clue what you are talking about. Your arrogance beggars belief. Here you are pontificating as if you think you know what you are talking about. You haven't the foggiest. The leading scientists in the field completely and utterly refute the nonsense you are spouting, and yet you carry on with this drivel. Utterly laughable.

Complete and utter drivel. And by the way, didn't you say the earth was only 6000 years old? You seem to have just added 24000 years. Whoops.

Can I wear the hat?

No, that'll still get you in trouble with the law around here.

I like the part about how his nephew's student loan payment was higher than his own morgtage.

You are lost to all rational thought.

Yet you continue to respond to his post??? Why??

Because I find him amusing. Unlike you.

You're like our resident oracle. Everything you say.... the opposite comes true.

bgamall4 says

Bigsby says

Yeah, of course, because they think you're so important. They took one look at your blog, read your barmy views, saw you had zero replies, and got straight on the phone to me. Oh, hang on, no they didn't.

That is a relief. You just do it out of conviction that there is no hell and you will just go to sleep when you die. Then why bother?

What do you mean why bother?

That is about the stupidest argument you've made in the entire time you've been here. I may as well say to you that if you are so certain about heaven, then why haven't you tried to speed up the process of getting there? Do you get the point?

bgamall4 says

Bigsby says

What is stupid about it? Seriously, what is the point if no one remembers each other? It makes no sense at all.

So why not just kill yourself now since you will fall asleep and forget it all anyway?

Or you could simply appreciate the life you have and actually try and enjoy it.

He says: "Obviously, Davies never went SNR hunting in a galactic environment, but I have. For one thing, an SNR becomes essentially invisible, even in a non-crowded environment, within 1,000,000 year tops, maybe less, depending on the specifics of the supernova and environment. But in practice they become essentially invisible long before."

But he has no way of knowing that. It is impossible to confirm that.

There is no way of knowing and it is impossible to confirm anything you post so you guys are even. If it's impossible to confirm it's true then it's impossible to confirm it's not true so your supernovae theory is in the shitcan.

Since all the bankers have been "suiciding" themselves lately, it might be soon.

Do you know how many times you can shoot yourself with a nail gun before dying?

About 8 apparently.

Funny (ironic, not ha-ha), sad, scary.... Hopefully, not true.

foreclosures have to to rise 10 times for prices to go back to 2009-2010.

have fun waiting.

bgamall4 says

You can enjoy it knowing that it will end soon and you won't even remember any of the enjoyment?

? Obviously.

bgamall4 says

You can eat, drink and be merry as the end all and be all of life, and that is how the world, the non elect, think.

You think you are the 'elect.' Everyone else thinks you are deranged. Funny that. And yes, I will continue to 'eat, drink and be merry.' I'll also have the love of my family and friends, will continue to enjoy travelling the world, marvelling at all the sights on it and animals that inhabit it, and will carry on doing all the other myriad things that make life so worth living. Why on earth not? It beats what you are doing, consumed by every conspiracy theory you can find.
