All masks should be banned world-wide. Humans should know who (What would be a better term) they are standing next to.

We just went through a pandemic.

God forbid people want to continue to protect themselves. I still wear a cloth mask at work while I am working, since almost 2000 people are out on the work floor. People have come to work with covid. I myself caught it from some douchebag who came to work with it. Stayed out 5 days and it was gone. But others aren't doing that.

And why are you standing in the way of people following their religion?

Sorry, I just love my bubble. Why would I want to leave it? My American Dream, you see. You, being outside my bubble, would likely want to interfere with my American dream Way of life.

Highly improbable is a grandiose understatement when it comes to both the universe and life, when you see the number of things that "ALL" had to fall into place simultaneously at the origin of the universe, then just as improbable maintain that delicate balance from the on set.

How do you think Creation happened? In six 24 hour days by God just "poof"ing things into existence, fully formed? Or perhaps there was a creation process whereby the universe slowly built up over time, guided slowly and carefully by the hand of God?

You're always attacking evolution. How do you know evolution wasn't God's method for creating all life?

You creationists always give God incredibly short shrift. He can do anything, but you reduce him to a parlor magician.

I hope all is well; he said he’d be back to respond to all those comments and questions after a few days and that he absolutely was not ducking out.

Rather than picking on him while he's not here, why not wait until he gets back and tell him yourself?

The point of acknowledging design doesn't prove God, it proves design over a mindless process nothing more. God can only be known when we seek God and God calls, but even there we can suppress God's call, just as we can suppress evidence by refusing to acknowledge what we see to avoid philosophical ramifications evidence points to.

You managed to miss my point entirely.

My point is that you cannot prove God OR "intelligent design" and that is BY design.

You seem determined to prove design and then ask why people don't have faith.

If something is proven, then it is fact. One cannot believe a fact by faith. It is, or it isn't. No faith involved. You want your cake, and to eat it, too.

The next logical step is: Evolution which works with blind chance cannot make this.

The next logical step is: Evolution is out of the window.

The next logical step is: It is obviously intelligent design.

The next logical step is: There must have been an Intelligent Designer.

These are the presumptions I was talking about.


As a Christian, I happen to believe in an intelligent designer. But you'll never be able to prove it, except to yourself, if you heavily presume 'facts' into existence.

I believe the guiding hand in creation, biologically speaking, is evolution, wielded by the Creator. Evolution without God is possible, certainly, which is necessary for humans to have free will in believing God, or not God. No one will ever be able to prove God had a hand in it. This is what faith is for.

According to my humble opinion, that article says totally nothing.

Not a word about how the dual coding came into existence, nothing.

What do you want to say with that article?

It has been suggested by many in the field that the laws of thermodynamics has played a part in the evolution of dual-use codons.

Your presumptions are a complete and total expression of ignorance, driven by what you want to believe. That is not science, by any means.

If that's how you feel, then shake hands with your online stalker, as he cares even less than barely.

What you and this person have in common on this thread is the ignorance that impedes your caring. Although you both might not realize it, it's crucial to determine whether Jesus, the man, was Hellenized or not.

That remains whether he spoke Greek or not.

Who's the fool. when Ukraine runs out of fighting age men....then what? You don't think we have advisors there now?? Your war hawk attitude will have US soldiers on the ground in force before your war is over.

Just stop supporting Russia in their war of aggression.

Sinners are the only ones that can be 'saved'.

This is why Jesus hung out with them.

Too many Pharisees think they are saved. They're not. They're not even trying.

14,000 of 36,000 students at COLUMBIA are On Foreign Visas. And know that this is not about the Jews. The Jews are but a vehicle for bigger fish to fry. Soros is not about the Jews.
Would you rather have Trump handle our futures, or Biden handle our futures.
36k. Of which 14k are smelly foreigners. I think I will go take a bath. I do not understand. (Just giving Suepersonguy an opening to say ‘right, you don’t understand.)
Does anyone understand?

Is this a trick question?

I don't want Trump handling anything he doesn't give a crap about.

Including Federal Government. He's only interested in power.
