billywheaton needs another thread, so here it is.

[billywheaton]

This guy is supposed to be a College Graduate? :twitch:
I haven't even graduated high school, and I know that a short, well-formatted and organized paper can go farther than a long, filibustered, dis-organized piece of crap paper can...

I willl get my pico typewriter out and you 'format' it for me-- and I don't need it to 'go' anywhere-- regardless young man you should feel honored to interact with someone who can challenge you and make you better. I am sorry if that is not your goal.

considering 95% was straight from the book a ACTS, I am surprised you have already agreed it is fictional (though I wouldn't have said 'crap')

billywheaton...first Platinum nOOb nomination for newcomer in 2008. Hiding in a thread that your hatchet men remove my posts from-- is a clear enough sign of cowardice-- isn't it JP--- or do you deny this direct evidence as well-- it is easy for you to dismiss reality, probably--- you seem to have a lot of practice!

If you have a problem with moderation, PM the moderator or take it to the boiler room - y'know like it says in THIS BIG RED NOTICE?

[billywheaton]

How ya doin' there, Narcissus? :ahem:



Yes you are, Dumb Dumb. Brief dissent of a nomination is permitted; extended diversionary conversations -- and shifting posts from one thread to another -- is not.

You must be a paranoid schizo. :lolo: But you prolly will get banned, just like you've been banned from every other forum you've done more than a couple of posts on (atheist and Christian alike).

Oh yeah. You also have a persecution complex....
the one's deleted were one line!

[TheAnalogman]

billywheaton is angry with me and accused yours truly of mod bias (aka the hatchet man). So just to let you all know that I certainly do not want to be considered a biased mod, I decided to start a new thread, just for billy, so he can defend himself.

Billy, this is your thread. Copy and paste previous posts, or just start anew with your "defense". Have fun, but ensure you abide by the Campus Decorum, k?

rats, he chickened out. Looks like the title of the first thread wasn't all that far off base then (billy's protesteth-too-much-ing notwithstanding).

He's still posting in the other one...
:whistle:

I was thinking of answering some of his stuff from his Apol 301 thread.

But it was so comical I decided not to.

Heh, Billy the Scrub, MD can't form a coherent argument ANYWHERE. :hehe:

it wasn't an 'argument'. Are you presuming to know me better than I know me? Are you God?

If so, I am a little confused. Perhaps you can tell me what my thoughts are right now.

You all powerful wonderful creator and Lord of my life. I finally found a Savior and the Savoir of the world!

Is that your claim Official?

[billywheaton]

Don't forget, these fundy atheists believe that the Bible should contain precise information on topics like quantum mechanics, atomic structures, exact size (to the millimeter) of the universe, and the reason who Dishonest John is so dumb. My calculus professor at Wheaton once said, "Christians and non-Christians do derivatives and integral the same way." Calculus, a complex, subject has very little controversy among people.

Can you name one thing we know from the bible that even comes close to calculus as being non-controversial?

What information does it contain?

What does that have to do with anything?

I know the Bible is contentious and controversial. The Bible says that about it's own message.

I don't see what that has to do with some fundy athiests proclaiming the Bible to be invalid because it doesn't explain quantum theory. That's like saying that my wife's Essential South African Cookbook is invalid because it doesn't contain a detailed history of the ancient Mayan peoples.

It's a stupid non-argument.

perhaps it is controversial because, unlike calculus, it serves not useful function or is wrong. Perhaps it doesn't explain anything, not just quantum theory.

I disagree on the usefulness of calculus; it only serves to make people feel stupid

More seriously I disagree completely, the Bible serves a exceptionally important and useful function.
Secondly the Bible has yet to be proven wrong in any place. (Note: I'm not talking about the minor copyist errors nor errors in translation into English.)

The Bible explains why man has a fallen nature, gives the standard that man is meant to live up to (but can't) and presents the solution to that problem.

I would hardly call that not explaining anything, and demanding that the Bible include information about something that is completely irrelevant to what it is explaining before you give it credibility is a stupid argument from people grasping at straws.

So, in a nutshell you are saying the bible explains that we are all worthless. Is that correct?

[Raphael]

No. That is incorrect.

[billywheaton]

No. That is incorrect.
if I am incorrect, can we find the solution without the bible? Or are we too stupid? What is the solution?

Dude that was hyperbole. Has nothing to do with mindreading, just postreading.

[OfficialPro]

The correct term is "helpless" (when it comes to salvation)

[jpholding]

if I am incorrect, can we find the solution without the bible? Or are we too stupid?

No, no....just you. :ahem:

[Raphael]

NO we cannot find the answer without the Bible, that is why God gave use the Bible.

If I wrote a piece of highly complicated software and it was exceptionally difficult and complex to use, and you absolutely had to use it in order to live, would you expect to be able to use it without the manual explaining why you need it, what it does, how it does and what is the correct way to use it?

We are not too stupid, but rather, because of our sinful nature incapable of saving ourselves. My daughter is far from being worthless and definitely isn't stupid. But you know what, she can't dress herself, she can't bath herself, she can't make her own food (she's learnt to feed herself). She is helpless in these areas. However my wife and I will teach her how to dress herself, how to bath herself, and when she's older, how to cook as well as her mommy does. She will be instructed and educated on how to do these things.

The same with the Bible. It shows us where we are incapable, it shows us why we are incapable, and it shows us how to overcome that incapacity through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

No. That is incorrect.

I don't understand how this question follows from your first statement.

"Either the Bible says that we are all worthless, or we can find the solution without the Bible."

The two are completely unrelated. Can you clarify, billy? It seems like a loose association to me, and we all know what causes loose association...
