  1.  @user255  ""Prophesies surrounding Israel." Similarly Allah is "real" and Nostradamus "saw" in the future. It's all just faith." Nostradamus spoke in riddles to intentionally hide what he was saying from authorities who may have killed him at the time. While some prophesies in the Bible are hard to understand, there are those that are very clear, concise and only mistaken by disingenuous that claim them to be metaphors. Zechariah tells us that the Mount of Olives will split in two, half moving towards the north and half moving towards the south. Ezekiel tells us that fishers will stand on the sea between Engedi and and Eneglaim. Archaeologists have found Engedi near the south of the dead sea and while they have yet to find it, expect Eneglaim to be found on the north end of the dead sea. Ezekiel 38 tells us of a war in which a confederation of armies will invade Israel and that God Himself will fight for Israel and destroy those armies. Revelation tells us of a global dictator that will declare himself god and setup a global economy where no one can buy or sell except they take his mark in their right hand and in their forehead. Globalists are currently pushing to setup that type of economy through a Central Digital Banking Currency. Despite these things happening before our eyes, those that demand proof that the Bible is the word of God, dismiss them as "conspiracy theories" or just gaslight the evidence as not being there. Ezekiel 47:10: And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. Zechariah 14:4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. Revelation 13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

  17.  @bodotrenaud7441  "I love that citation from Sanderson: “Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.” " The citation you love does not come close to fitting the definition of a hypocrite. A hypocrite is never in the process of changing. A hypocrite always lays rules and regulations on you, that they exempt themselves from following. Mt:23:13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Mt:23:14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mt:23:15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Mt:23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Lk:11:42: But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Mt:23:25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

  32.  @EscapeVelocity1  "finding patterns when none is there." If a pattern does not exist, it cannot be found. Humans have an egocentric bias which states; >If I didn't find it, and someone did that I believe to be inferior to me, the pattern does not exist.< This egocentric bias is found in every aspect of life including religion. Science has a history of work made popular by a scientist in power, work which he is accused of stealing. There is also a bias view point. If someone presents a literal understanding of a passage in the Bible that does not contradict or require a rewrite of the passage, that individual will be accused of declaring an interpretation, that he did not state. People will literally put words in his mouth. There is a bias of knowledge. If you give an answer to a question, displaying knowledge that the inquisitor believes that you do not, or should not have, the inquisitor will reject the answer and tell you, you are wrong. AI is a computer program and nothing more. If a parameter within a model does not exist, the AI cannot reveal it. The true power in the AI lies within the skill of the programmer, to craft the algorithm in such a way, that the algorithm is able to show parameters that would otherwise, not be seen. If the AI does not have the algorithm, the AI is just as blind to the parameters that the algorithm finds, as humans that are incapable of seeing the parameter. In short, the AI is only as capable of seeing parameters in a model, as the programmer that developed the algorithm is able to see them and conceive of, or expect, their existence.

  40. "Expansion Accelerates -> Requires Negative Pressure" Not necessarily. The lack of negative pressure, coupled with insufficient oppositional force, will do the same. Expansion and acceleration can be caused by positive energy as well. If the positive energy is sufficient to overcome gravitational forces and that positive energy is maintained, as the object moves further away from the gravitational force, the object will necessarily, increase in speed. If we have a starting gravitational force of 100, and we apply a constant positive energy force of 105 which overcomes the gravitational force, the further away from the gravitational force the object gets, the gravitational force has less affect on the object. The end result will be a steady increasing of speed of the object. As long as the constant energy force, is able to overcome all opposing resistance, the object will steadily increase as the opposing resistance decreases. This fact is easily proven by traveling in an automobile up and down hills. As one drives up a hill, one must increase the amount of energy output from the engine by depressing the accelerator pedal. At the top of the hill, one must decrease the amount of energy output from the engine by release the accelerator pedal. If one fails to reduce the amount of energy output by the engine, the speed of the automobile will accelerate faster as a result of the additional energy being applied to the forward motion. While traveling up the hill, the automobile has more gravitational force working against it. Once the automobile nears the top of the hill, and the hill begins to level off, the automobile begins to increase in speed. As the automobile reaches the summit of the hill and begins it's decline down the other side of the hill, the gravitational force that worked against the automobile on it's incline, is negated and now working with the automobile on it's decent. In the case of the Universe, the vacuum of space does not apply opposing pressure against the expansion of the Universe. The only opposing energy to the expansion appears to be the gravitational pull of the center of the universe. As the galaxies move further away from the center, the gravitational pull of the center on them, decreases in intensity while at the same time, the speed of the galaxies increase. Given that the galaxies are moving away from the center of a spinning universe, it is likely that the constant force being applied to the galaxies is centrifugal force which is caused by the universe spinning in the vacuum of space. Everything in the universe has an ebb and flow. The stock market, the weather and other seemingly chaotic things, will tend to have a similar path when their data points are placed on a graph. The placement of the stars and galaxies are no different. As far as those huge objects that should not exist, existing is concerned, there is no problem with those huge objects existing when one considers that they point to an intelligent designer and suggest that a creator God exists. Just as the Shroud of Turin, could not exist except and unless, there is indeed; a miracle working God that can change water, into wine.
