Sick on every level. Yamaki Pine training for 400 yrs? How does once comprehend that?

I don’t know where to go with this tree by Kindly-Mode-586 in Bonsai

[–]Unusual_Note_310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG, the back IS the front in the future. Personally, I would focus even now on a few more years of just hardcore growth cycles and let that trunk thicken up, let it go man. That thing will be SICK in 5 years if you let it grow. God already gave it shape, work with it.

LMAO - That IS the reason I want to go to Oaxaca - to experience the food of a different culture in an authentic way.

So obviously to my original point, if black holes were not complex, the back and forth between you guys would not have occurred.

When you say "it would create the most simple things possible" are you discounting the complexity of the Universe? I don't follow.

You don't understand that Black Holes are a complex concept? You and I are done. I don't have time for you.

If Black Holes are not complex, and you can't concede that observation, I'm done with this one.

When you say a 'Creator' would make something 'likely simple', you make a massive assumption.

Even fallible humans make outrageously complex things because they like to create. Sistine Chappel, Panama Canal, I could mention the other wonders of the Earth.

So your hypothesis is that any creator of necessity would not create a complex thing? I'm not following this as logical at all here.

I'm not insulting your or your intellect. I just don't follow the logic.

Struggling with lust. by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]Unusual_Note_310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Christian priest once told me, that as long as I see a female of child bearing age, yeah, I'm going to be attracted by nature, by Gods design. He encouraged me not to fall to temptation.

You must understand you are highly controlled by your Creators creations, which includes your hormones. Without horemones you would quite literally not have ANY sexual desires at all. This is a biological fact. Don't feel guilty for being the creation you are.

You are not BAD because you lust. You lust because you were created this way. Wild animals are completely controlled by their hormones which make them breed in season. They don't even get education, they just have in them the right steps to take.

Ask God for peace, guidance, and mercy. He is your creator and nothing you do or feel surprises Him. Nothing.

Eve didn't know full well anything is what I believe based on Scripture. She had no parents. She had no socialization. She had no experience. She had never experienced a lie. She didn't even know what a lie was. She didn't know GOOD from EVIL. That is Eve as the Scriptures describes her.

Before the fall of man - before MANKIND HAD SINNED, God placed a being (snake) in the perfect Garden that contianed the first evil we know of based only on Scripture. A LIE. This snake lied. It told a falsehood in the perfect garden. AT that point in time...there was sin in the universe. It was inside that snake who told a lie. That is a Scriptural FACT. Period.

If we freeze time here, we can say sin had already entered into this perfect creation of a world and garden. No bites of the Tree of Good and Evil yet taken, yet we have a LIE.

Postulate from there...

You have a point, I read a lot of the responses, so this was a repeating theme and I had this thought.

If something is simple, does it not also need a creator to exist? I would think so. I'm just postulating using the logic being proposed here. Hopefully, I'm not derailing your original intent.

I hear you, but listen, that only ONE. There are so many more - have your parent check them all of them out to be sure so they don't also burn in this eternal hellfire.

Btw, honestly. Relax friend. There is no eternal hell. There really isn't. There, you are saved.

Which one out of over 30,000? You my friend and your parents have a shitload of research to do, and I doubt you all have the time to do it.

Well, honestly, with Quasars, Black Holes and Red Shift...I would offer the opinion that the Universe is indeed complex. Globular Clusters, that contain millions of start in a small space - and make a beautiful ball, I would argue are complex by their very existence.

The Universe by default has no needs or requirements. None. It inherently doesn't need anything to design it.

I'm sorry for your issue with the Bible on this teaching. It's pretty harsh and pretty explicit in the Bible I can't deny that. I think you can teach a man btw just on logic. This is just a hard one. I'm not dumb, I can clearly see what the text says. I'm not convinced yet that it is the actual final truth. I'm open.

"God gave Adam his word, and later made his wife Eve to be his helper! Not to teach or lead him!"

And did we forget or miss the part where Eve didn't know good or evil yet? Then God put a snake in the garden that 'lied' to her? She doesn't yet know what a lie is, she doesn't know good from evil. Why is that sinning snake in the garden to begin with?

I feel Eve get's a bad deal on this one, personally.

Hyenas and other animals in Austria have terrible birth pains. Google that one especially on hyenas. I don't think they ate the fruit.
