This is an interesting response because most materialists and rationalists take a view opposite of yours when it comes to belief and how one comes about believing things. Where as most people of faith are bent on the idea of choosing to believe. Here's an interesting write up on the subject...

Yet here can you say that you are choosing to believe people do choose to believe or have you simply come to that conclusion? Isn't belief merely a conclusion in spite of evidence? And Like Vhehn says in a post above, can you choose to believe something you know isn't true? Like 10+10=52...

Strange thread title. Shouldn't it read something like, "Intelligent Design can also be non-creationist based?" Why make a blanket statement about something that is predominately creationist based? Most of the players of ID are of some brand of creationism. Basically believe that "God did it."...

This is well said.

Valid points. Didn't consider some of that. However, I believe this will be a great opportunity for progressive and hard working Blacks to shine. Now more than ever the contrast between the statistical majority (read stereotypical) and statistical minority (read progressive and hard working)...

Good points. Though, I don't think I would call it a "hijacking." I only say that because the same terminology was used by muslims concerning radicals and Islam. Radicalism is completely supported in Islamic scripture. Likewise, thuggery is not only a part of Black culture worldwide, but is...

Problems: 1. Many, not all Blacks maintain a sense of victimhood. 2. Many, not all Blacks fail to open meaningful dialogue about what is wrong in the black community. 3. Many, not all Blacks cannot withstand constructive criticism. 4. Many, not all Blacks, are segregationists. 5...

Thanks for those add ins.

Wait, are you saying that you DIDN'T follow the rules?

I am... That's a little over my head. But thanks for taking the time though. Maybe as I get a little further on into this subject, I'll be able to see what you're getting at.

Shoeshineboy, Thanks for all the info and links. They're sure to get me thinking in different directions. It's interesting stuff I think. Worth looking into. Thanks again.

Haven't heard of him. Might look into it. I think I'm just trying to reconcile the concept of freewill with omniscience. Plus, "god actions" with freewill "actions." From my thinking on the subject, it seems that in order to have freewill, god must not be omniscient. Assuming God's...

Yes, I see what you are saying. Though I have to think about it more if only on a philosophical level. It seems to me that interfering with anyone's freewill would violate the concept of freewill for all. Free will appears to be a universal attribute shared by all humans. So if a few have had...

Are they free in mind only, which is where sin would start, or are they free in action too? The action part seems gray since as you say, according to the bible God can and does force people to do things. Well not necessarily good things. What I meant was, things some would consider good or...

I think most Christians are confused. They believe in free will yet credit God with "good" things. Well, some of those "good" things require people to help it come about. In order for that to happen, wouldn't God have to "make" certain people do certain things? If so, then those particular...

A diety that micromanages is a deity that demonstrates inherent imperfection because it didn't anticipate all things before it created the very first thing. :)

IBs Idealpro is great when you trade EUR/USD & GBP/USD if your base currency is USD. These are the most liquid pairs they offer anyway. And with Forex, as with anything, liquidity is your friend. Also bear in mind that IB is an ECN and not a dealing desk. There's an advantage to that in...

Thank You! Good find. Exactly what I was looking for. And stated by an IB rep no less. So it is 10 times a sec (100 ms). Cool.

Yep. That's how it is when USD is listed first in the pair. And it gets worse. You'll probably never zero out the CAD in your account completely. I had that issue when I traded USD/JPY. I had some Yen in my account that I could never bring to zero. It's really no biggie but it annoyed the...

Thanks TL. That seems to be the concensus overall. But I read on here somewhere that for futures it's .1 seconds. I'm thinking if it's .1 seconds, that might decrease the likelihood of missed true high and lows.
