So here we are. Why is Earth for human life near perfect, But billions of other worlds so unfit? Well if this world wasn’t right for life, then We wou...

Pretty good analysis, I'd say.

Trump is not unlike the strict Master controller, and many republicans are fundamentalists.

Well, at least that the classical 'God' is unlikely, due to self-contradictions. It's hard to sit on a fence, so we would like to know, but all we hav...

Well, we could cite what the Romans, the Greek, and the Jewish believed at the time, or the disciples and followers, and was people believed 300 years...

Math is very amenable to regularities. I suppose math became of numbers of things and then went toward the relations of things. Early on, we may have ...

The 'resonance' wouldn't be there since there is probably no kept history of the universe; however, all eventualities should still repeat, in their tu...

Not a useful leading supposition that well promotes continuing communication, but demotes.
August 30, 2019 at 19:42
Yes, I am suggesting that one admits up front that it is a belief for one's self rather than to proclaim it as as so as a truth for all. It's fine and...
August 30, 2019 at 19:34
Halfway to honesty, but better not to imply that there is no doubt as in that the truth is for sure. A 'maybe' would be best. There was a Big Bang. (n...

The protection of society would be moral, making the lock-up necessary for other than punishment, although somewhat 'punishing', hoping for learning.

Please come to our church in which we don't teach any of our "maybe's" as truth, nor at all, because we just don't know and can't really preach about ...

It is that if his will was different than it actually was, he no longer being him, so to speak, the choices may have been different.
August 29, 2019 at 22:28
Yet they do, and are full of excuses such as 'mysterious ways', blah, blah, and even dishonestly teach their suppositions as if they are truth. This c...
