I have to say: it's things like this that make me think the ability of disliking posts would be a good thing for this site.

That's one of the big lies of Biblical creationism--that Miller and Urey were trying to create life in that flask. Have you ever read their actual paper?From AI Overview:
The purpose of a hypothesis is to provide a testable, educated guess that guides a scientific study by making a specific prediction about the relationship between variables. It serves to provide a clear focus for the research, ensuring that data collection and analysis are purposeful and aligned with the study's goals. Without a hypothesis, research can be aimless, and it's difficult to draw meaningful conclusions or establish causality.
Miller-Urey tested that hypothesis and failed.
Demonstrating that abiogenesis isn't science.
I'll make a prediction:
You'll never create life in a laboratory.
Why?
It's not science.
Nature doesn't deal with trying to kick-start life ... and never did.
She has other things to concentrate on.
If Trump issues such an order, you can bet that the White House lawyers will have couched it in terms that it would not be "manifestly illegal."Would you, under the present circumstances, regard an order to invade Venezuala as legal?
It's all up to us, yes. You are right on that point.If there is no free will then why doesn't GOD just convert everyone instead of allowing them to be trapped in evil ? Remember, that forbidden fruit was the knowledge of GOOD as well as evil. People are capable of doing good on a human level. James describes the human sinful condition. James 1: 13-15 it is our own lust that is sin, GOD doesn't tempt any to sin, its all on us.
Would you, under the present circumstances, regard an order to invade Venezuala as legal?
You aren't responsible for getting off topic. One cannot do that alone. However, on topic or not, you have gone to a lot of trouble to demonstrate that Islam presents an existential threat to Western society and it seems to me that you might least give a suggestion as to what you think we should do about it. And since the OP topic is about loss of religiousity in the US, I wondered if you could relate that in some way to the excessive religiousity of radical Islam.You ask me a question, and then go on to basically accuse me of being responsible for getting off topic as if you and others haven't been pressing me on the matter and I have repeatedly attempted to shut down the discussion. Given your clear biases, I'm not concerned with your opinion on how I present religiousity.
Do you when John Paul II was shot and he forgave his would be assassin?A city-state surrounded by walls filled with armed guards has no place in this conversation.

We were not told it would SLOW the rise of insurance costs. We were told it would lower our costs.
How many years did that person have to become legal? He came illegally, stayed illegally. You know how many illegals come here not knowing anyone and can't speak the language?A person brought to America at age 5 is deported 35 years later, at age 40, along with his family to a country he doesn't know, where he has no connections and barely speaks the language and expect them to survive?
They can self deport and then they have a pathway to come back. Criminals get married and have kids all the time. Then they get caught and sent to prison.Consider a situation where someone is forced to returned to Venezuela after 35 years or another 3rd world country along with their American citizen spouse and children; it raises questions about the fairness and humanity of such actions.
Yes and did so legally.You immigrated to America,
I've been a Christian for longer than that. I find it difficult to understand those who only want to cherry pick scriptures to support their social cause instead of supporting all of it. The Bible is a complete book of that speaks if the depravity of man and the consequences of such. Believe me when I tell you I have suffered for the consequences of my sin more than once. I know my savior has saved my soul and I am forgiven for my actions because I have repented of them and am covered by his righteousness and grace. But that did not alleviate my earthly consequences. I still paid an earthly cost and the Lord did not save me from that. And others around me paid a price too.As a Christian for 45 years, I find it difficult to understand how those who claim to have the Holy Spirit in them believe such treatment of others aligns with the teachings from the Sermon on the Mount.
That was added to the Text, was not in the original Greek
The words are clear.and this was not about food, Jesus told us what He meant using food only as an illustration and explained the parable in the very next verse that was left out for some reason.
All parables have a straight teaching. Jesus is explaining that what defiles is NOT was goes into the body but what comes out of the heart which is where sin dwells. So whatever goes into the body INCLUDES food and drink. The understanding remains the same. All foods are clean. Second, the whole law has been fulfilled and the law, including the dietary laws, were never given to the gentiles. We are under no obligation to keep what was never given to us.This passage is about eating with unwashed hands Mark7:2 Mat15:1-2 the Pharisees claimed this is what defiles a man- Jesus corrected them
Mark 7: 20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
This was a parable - which means not to take literally and Peter asked Jesus what this parable means (obviously wasn't about food otherwise no need to ask) which Jesus explained, never was His answer that He made foods that He deemed an abomination now clean.
I did. Peter was hungry, saw what he thought was still unclean food, and God told him that it was ok to eat it because it was His creation. No other interpretation works here unless you are trying to prove an unbiblical pet doctrine.Lets look at all of the context...
It's weird that the LGBTQ agenda is being pushed upon children.It's weird that simple courtesy towards others is classified as far-left ideology.
Jesus Christ would condemn the sinful teachings of the LGBTQ agenda.This article characterizes a professional training course as an attempt towards radical political action, but that fundamentally misses the true, and far more compassionate, goal of the National Education Association's program. This is not an attempt to "transform" people, but a crucial effort to foster understanding, safety, and dignity for LGBTQ+ educators and students who are already members of our schools and communities.
The union is just providing guidance as inevitably there will be employees going through a transition. This training is necessary to dismantle the very "systems of oppression" that cause stress and discomfort—or what is clinically known as gender dysphoria.
As Christians we should exercise compassionate understanding towards those who are marginalized, misunderstood, or struggling with the immense complexities of identity and life.
What would Jesus Christ of Nazareth do?
Be blessed
Yes we will. But for me and my fellow soldiers, this is NOT a laughing matter.We'll see.lol
And GoogleAI has this to say about Jeffery Dahlmer:ah, the Hitler card - says everything I need to hear -
Ah yes, wisdom. Revelation 13:18.Another reason why the bible is for the most part an ineffective conveyor of truth, because people simply see in it whatever they want to see in it. Combine that with just a small dose of vanity and everyone becomes a pillar of wisdom... or so they think.
For some reason they seem to overlook the humility parts. Without which you have nothing to temper the vanity parts.
What if they are politicians themselves? Maybe they have a good grasp of the law. Maybe they don't. We may get a chance to find out. Certainly it's an arguable point since, in this specific case, a judge has prevented the Guard from doing anything. For now.All this happens a whole lot faster than the issue going through the courts. Are you going to trust your future to a group of politicians?
s"Judge not lest ye be judge!" Oh, if you're an evangelist, you've heard that one too many times, but what is Jesus actually mean when He says judge not? In today's series we'll see what Jesus said and what's he actually mean!

Jerusalem is the Holy City, in the Holy Land.Show me where in the Bible it says Jerusalem is in Palestine.
You ask me a question, and then go on to basically accuse me of being responsible for getting off topic as if you and others haven't been pressing me on the matter and I have repeatedly attempted to shut down the discussion. Given your clear biases, I'm not concerned with your opinion on how I present religiousity.If that is the threat you perceive, what do you suggest we do about it? And what does it have to do with why people are losing their religiousity? Certainly you don't even present religiousity in a good light.
That's what I expected. You seem rather selective about what you refute.Films are fictitious.
