____________________________________________ I guess we will have to agree to disagree. 100% confidence of an outright rejection is very high. The law professors I have spoken to and essays by many other lawyers, judges and jurists would also disagree with your certainty. They say taken the...

Since I defined such a beast BEYOND the above, does this mean this mythical beast actually exists??? Of course not. Its is a fiction. It is a fiction on the SAME LEVEL as your god. For anything beyond all of the above, is no different than Sagans mythical, undetectable dragon, in his...

Earlier Don said he might suggest that some of his traders start praying. Suggestion. It is better to pray before you trade than after you open the trade. At least according to our local saturday morning talk show broker guru who is calling to broadcast from some cruise. Something...

Not following you. What does mind reading have to do with this? peace axeman ___________________________________________ Not sure I follow myself. Just thinking out loud about things that we know exist but can't measure or prove. Outside of the appearances discribed ( if they were...

Correct me if I am wrong but has science yet invented a machine or instrument that can read the thoughts of the human mind. Obviously there are thoughts there but I don't think science has yet found a way of reading those thoughts. A lie detector would be a step in that direction and I...

ARogueTrader If I am understanding what you say? There is one absolute supreme God but there are countless ways He can relate to you or you can perceive of Him as long as His supremacy and absolute character are not violated.

There is only one statement you can present: Why do you believe in one god and not another? t0yland ___________________________________________ How about the animists that basically believe in multiple gods? Your question is actually a great one. The answer to that question should...

Thanks Axeman You're a gentleman and a scholar. Best wishes, Doubter

As Christians go I am probably one of the more skeptical ones on prayers for healing. If I were asked to design a study on the effectiveness of prayer in healing and wanted to show there is no effect, the study in question here would fill nearly all the qualifications. That said, there are...

the people being prayed for didn't know they were being prayed for and the ones receiving prayer benefitted in no way. so basically, the prayers didn't do anything. what a surprise! GG _____________________________________________ One major problem here. Can you say that you are 100%...

This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the consequences of a belief have no bearing on whether the belief is true or false. axeman, jr. ____________________________________________ This may have something to do with your trading. In all honesty GG. You admittedly can't trade...

As to the effectiveness of prayer, as the thread started out, it would seem that even if the recipients of the prayers, some way through a positive mental attitude, showed improvement then what is wrong with that? A person who is sick enough will most likely accept any and all help they can get...

___________________________________________ Your last post in the other thread placed the curse of the ignore button and its spell over me. I wondered how long a man of his word would take to peek. Not long I guess as this was my second post since the placing of the curse.

ARogueTrader, you are NOT going to out-debate axeman. i don't even think it is possible on this subject. GG ___________________________________________ Axeman does not debate he indulges in childish arguments and insults. I don't have the time right now to point to the hundreds of examples...

I hate to belabor the design flaw points but here goes. If you notice most if not all of these "flawed" mutations end up with an offspring that dies without reproducing. In other words that family line stops deadend there. I cited a study in large vertebrates over 80 plus years and tens of...

_________________________________________ Clues are exactly what he got. Only the clues were to something that people want to deny.

Gee Axe I was trying to defend you. Certainly you who make so many cutting remarks, innuendos, and disparaging comparisons and are so far above and removed can tolerate a little of the same. Spiced with humor no less. As you so often say "peace".

ARogueTrader, ShoeshineBoy, and Marketsurfer - You have all made very wise observations as to Axes' antics and reasons compeling him to do so. I thought I might share some insights into his predicament that have come up during these discussions. Several years ago Axes' mother decided,when she...
