You suggest that we don’t make weapons while other countries do?
Suzianne? Give us a thoughtful explanation of the end game with THAT one. Whew.

You're almost there, just a bit more thought, and you'll have it.

Waves do not do, specific functionally complex tasks where levels are checked, start-stop mechanisms are taking place neither is there any constraints to calculate or cause some action to occur or to stop one from continuing, neither are there instructions driving processes, nothing with syntax, symbolism, semantics.

Water moving about is not an an example of overcoming e ...[text shortened]... ed to do specific tasks. Machines have high energy and low entropy that changes as they break down.

I thought we were talking about nature.

You believe this occurred due to random changes over time, if you watched this remember starting from nothing, every detail, every process, every piece would have had to get made and integrated into a system that interacted with every other system by chance and necessity instead of design if you were to suggest a Godless process could create us out of dead dirt.

Billions of years is a long, long time.

All the dems voted yea, get rid of that old law, TWO repubs did the same.
Repubs really have the pulse of the people eh.

So we go back to a 15-week ban. I guess we're supposed to be happy about that now.

Katie was pleased as punch to sign the repeal this morning.

Remember that time Trump walked slowly to a church and held a Bible for a photo op? Right before that he was hiding in a bunker.

Defense secretary had to apologize it was so bad.

He also had peaceful protestors on his way tear-gassed. What a great guy.

your handlers are playing the boo game with you…have you hook line and sinker dont they? 😂

Read the Time article for yourself, if you can read and then form your own opinions of what you read. It seems like Trump's opinions are your opinions. Trump, on the other hand, doesn't give a damn what you say, as long as you can still vote for him.

He's got 75 million more just like you, unless they've wised up since the last defeat.

Wow, you really are an idiot, aren't you?

President Biden on Thursday addressed the intensifying pro-Palestinian protests at American colleges, telling reporters that "dissent is essential for democracy" but that "dissent must never lead to disorder."

"There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," Biden said of the protests, which have seen more than 2,000 arrests nationwide. His remarks at the White House were the first since April 22, when he made brief comments to reporters.

“In moments like this, there are always those who rush in to score political points. But this isn’t a moment for politics. It’s a moment for clarity. So let me be clear. Violent protest is not protected, peaceful protest is,” Biden said.

If you are depending on a trap, you have defeated yourself.

I have to say honestly I don’t know how old everything is, but due to the attributes of God I lean towards a young earth and universe. I have to admit I don’t believe scripture answers how old it is.

I do believe He created everything fully formed that it did not evolve into what we see today, but that doesn’t address age either.

I don’t believe evolutionary theory ha ...[text shortened]... t is a theory in decline, the more we learn the farther away our solutions can answer the questions.

I never said it was unguided. This was God's tool, remember.

There has to be a mechanism whereby it appears to have happened on its own, without God. But I never said it was unguided. It certainly looks unguided, and that's the important bit.

We were given free will to believe, or not to believe. It's all on us. We're not given the answers to the test, and so everyone can make up their own mind, and that, my friend, is the entire point. We decide ourselves, so that no one can say we were coerced, or blame God for not giving us the answer straight out. Free will, man. That is what faith IS.

Right🙂 Fake news all generated by AI, I imagine that would be the wingnut response.

Well, I copy/pasted it to a file on my desktop, but it turned out too big to copy/paste here in its entirety.

Pfft. These are not antifa, they're college kids who don't wanna go to class.

(remembering the time when BLM protests/riots took hold in 140 cities, causing chaos for months, taking over a federal building, trump did squat but tweet and hold a Bible in his hand out front of a church)

The BLM protests were peaceful until, exactly like in this case, bad actors arrived (in Portland, in the form of white supremacist groups) to stir sh-- up and make it look like the protestors were getting out of control. Same exact M.O. Get the bad mojo blamed on the peaceful protestors.

It worked in Portland, mainly because people were so ready to blame the blacks. Didn't work so well in this case because these protestors were little darling white kids who were their parents' pride and joy, whom people weren't so ready to blame for the damage and disruption.

And Antifa is mainly a boogeyman of the right. Someone to blame when the rednecks don't get their way. It's not even an organization with any command structure.
