Could of is always qualified as a possibility. You could have taken the bus. We do not know for sure if you did or not, but you could have. In Science if something is possible then it is a consideration. We do not give this as much consideration as we do proven facts. 

I would love to be critical of ignorant people but often even educated people are ignorant. My brother has a PhD in Psychology and he often rejects Science and proven facts. He does not even believe in absolute truth. He believes everything is relative. 

Yep. And Yep. The challenge regarding the first paragraph is when "scientists" proclaim it as "what happened" instead of what was a possibility. 

Regarding the second paragraph, I'm shocked at how many otherwise intelligent people hold on to a belief even when overwhelming evidence destroys that belief. But I suspect we all do it to one degree or another. We all have a strong desire to be "right" - especially those of us who either know or believe we are "smarter than average". 

I fall back on this: Of education, knowledge and wisdom, the least is education and the greatest is wisdom. If what you are taught is not retained, the education is worthless. And if you can't properly apply the knowledge you have, the knowledge is worthless. I've met a lot of what my dad used to call, "educated idiots".

They use the term fuzzy logic. Although most people are experts in their field yet as you say they are not aware of how much they do not understand. As an adult has to be understood by a child God has to bend over to communicate with us. 

I was concerned with my son in college that they would corrupt him but he studied computer engineering and so everything can be verified with exact mathematical formulas. Most people are not able to think at this level. They were throwing money at him left and right to pay for his school because he was able to function at a higher level then most people. In fact he graduated with almost $10,000 in the bank. Compared to my niece who is a nurse and graduated with $50,000 in debt. 

Actually everyone can do this math on an unconscious level. They are just not aware of what their unconscious mind is doing. For example the math to hit or catch a baseball is very complex yet most people are able to do this and are not even aware of it.

Heh. I watched a movie a decade or so ago where this group of young people were doing some sort of theft of a corporation or something. There was one asian boy that was terrible at english, humanities, etc. but good at math. He was hacking a corporate computer and a girl asked him why he was so good at this. 

His answer was priceless: "These questions have answers."

Yep. Your post also reminded me of something I wanted to bring up but didn't have the time to get info on. It' s the Dunning-Kruger effect.

We see that a lot in remodeling. People will go in and do the demo work and then find out they totally lack the ability to put it all back together again. It is difficult to hire someone to do a job that someone else started.

Yes, exactly. We learn everything we need to know in the fifth grade. Not only are there answers there are ways we can verify if the answer is correct or not. There are methods we can use to verify if our understanding of the Bible is true and correct. That has to be done at the level of a child. As Jesus tells us: "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven". (Matthew 18:3)

Our city is building a new school that goes from the 6th grade to 12.  They will be able to take college classes in the sixth grade and in some cases they can graduate from high school with a college degree. I would not qualify anyone to enter the first grade if they did not understand the symbolic meaning of the letters in the alphabet. I would not would not qualify anyone to enter the sixth grade if they did not understand how to verify what is true and what is not true.

"turn or burn"

Annihilation in Hell is a false statement. If there is annihilation it would be in the lake of fire referred to as the second death. The concept of hell does seems to come more from Dante book The Infernal. There are very few references to hell in the Bible. Rev 20 14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death".

dark matter is that it is something they just made up out of thin air to explain what nothing else explains.

Black Holes are said to have a event horizon. This could represent a beginning and an end. They are also said to be a singularity. God is singular but there is no darkness in God. 

When God said: "Let there be light" he was talking about the earth in a literal sense. From a symbolic perspective I think this also has to do with the event horizon when light first became visible at the big bang. 

I had a dream around 60 years ago where God showed me the universe is expanding - He told me that the universe would contract or shrink and all come back together again. I assume this means we are a duality or dicronomy now. There is a time coming when we will become a singularity and become one with each other and with God. I believe the atonement was two fold. To reconcile us with the father and to reconcile us with each other. 

So heaven is a place of agreement. Not division, contention and strife like here on Earth. Where people are at different levels of understanding and that makes it difficult for them to relate to each other.

Yep, since hell itself is annihilated in the lake of fire. ;)

You don't think Jesus knows when HE, let me repeat that HE was the ONE WHO did the CREATING?

God says what was there at the beginning, and male and female were not there.   See Genesis 1:1.

Yes, Jesus was talking of the beginning or our race, not of all creation.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
