Speaking of number (math) -

Did anyone notice that Dec. 21, 2012 comes out to 12 21 2012? Or the European way, 21 12 2012?

Weird, huh?

and if you add them up you get the number 10. Doesnt the number 10 represent completion. spooky huh...

sorry I missed a 1...LOL..

It actually adds up to be 11.. There is nothing spooky about that date.

Don't worry....I'm mathematically challenged too!

P.S. How could you hate math???????????????? I don't get it!!!!

I don't know, it just never liked math class. Always liked history, life sciences, and english much better. Then, as it happens, I use algebra (at least a form of it) in my job all the time. Today, my biggest complaint about Algebra is in High school they really don't focus on the aspects of it your going to use in many careers.

What do you focus on, as far as algebra is concerned? (Sorry to be tangential on my own thread! )

Well, I work as a Systems Admin / Developer, so its mostly algorithms.

This probably wont mean anything to you, but stuff like this:

Try

// Copy the data from one stream to another

while not FromStream.EOF

//Make Sure Backup has not been aborted

If QuitBackup = True Then

Exit Sub

End If

//Build Destination File

ToStream.Write(FromStream.Read(131072))

i = i + 131072

kbi = i / 1000

//Calculate Progress

If lngCounter <= kbi Then

intProgressCounter = intProgressCounter + 1

frmBackupRunning.pbarCurrentFile.Value = intProgressCounter

i = 0

End If

//Throttle CPU Usage

App.BackupThread.Sleep(CPU_Usage)

wend

Unless you have some experience righting code you probably wont be able to read that, but I still bet you can tell there is a lot of math in that loop.

Clearly, the whole thing is ridiculous... the world has already ended, and we are just the dreams of cosmic dust. Duh!

I just can't imagine cosmic dust saying "duh"

I'd say I'm a child of the 80's, but since that's just part of the dust's imagination, I guess I don't have an answer for it.

It actually does make sense. Part of being a math major was taking computer science as well. I HATED that class, btw...

Forrest... that is a fantastic example of why I quit programming on my first day attempting to learn it.

I think that Romans 8 gives us some insight into this:

For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to futility--not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it--in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God's children. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now. (Romans 8:19-22)

I believe this teaches that all of creation was effected by man's fall. It doesn't speak specifically about animals dying but it shows creation groaning in anticipation for the finality of redemption in its full manifestation.

yeah that is some good scripture...but I am not sure if it clears the question if there was death of animals prior to adam's sin. I believe there was because God told Adam that plants and animals were for food, which was pior to sin. Therefore there must have been death of plants and animals. I wonder if there are any other scriptures that cover this.

Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to all birds of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul, every green plant is for food. And it was so.

Maybe we should start a new tread since this is off of subject.

There was no death of animals before Adam's sin. Do you really think that our holy sinless and perfect God would create a world that had death disease and suffering in it, and then place Adam on top and call it 'good' ?

How else do you explain that all the dinosaurs buried under millions of years of lays of earth.

This proccess could have taken millions of years. Remember time is not a factor to God. A millions of years to us could be like a day to God.

This means that dinosaurs died before Adam sinned. According to the Bible death and disease were the result of man's sin. So now you have death before sin, which is totally contradictory to the Bible.

Actually there had to have been death in order for man to take it. There had to be knowledge of good/evil for man to take it. Before man took in the forbidden fruit...God was man's good. Death IN MAN resulted from man's initial sin. But death was already working in the universe...guess who the culprit is.

This post made absolutely no sense to me. Would you mind clarifying?
