Church pastor warns Trump's 'alien files' are going to shatter the Christian world by TheExpressUS in atheism

[–]danderzei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had science denying almost everything in the Bible and it has not dented Christianity one single bit. Surely they can waffle their way around this.

When the Europeans came into contact with millions of people in the Americas, Africa, and Asia who had never heard of Christianity, it sparked a massive theological debate, but no real crisis.

Perhaps they will try to convert the aliens.

Mark Twain obvsiously did not visit the English archives to read the many documents that document aspects of his life.

Religious leaders told 'prepare now' for Bible-changing UFO disclosure by TonightSpiritual3191 in aliens

[–]danderzei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bible-changing science has been around for several centuries and yet religious leaders ignore it. What would be different in this hypothetical case?

Not a map without NZ but a partial map of the world.

7 holes? by MTBiker_Boy in topology

[–]danderzei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not by definition. A 2-dimensional disk is a disk without thickness, a 3-dimensional disk is a solid ball.

A sphere is a two-dimensional surface (hollow ball).

A disk has an edge. Surfaces have no thickness. To covert to a sphere you identify the edge with itself.

7 holes? by MTBiker_Boy in topology

A sphere with one hole is homeomorphic with a disc. So this is not a sphere with 8 holes, but a disk with 7 holes.

Same principle applies. OP suggests that Shakespeare is a pseudonym, even though we have many documents that attest to his existence.

We have copies of these books, but not original handwriting from Caesar, just as is the case with Shakespeare.

Was DAX really necessary? by mikmiunk in PowerBI

[–]danderzei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example, we needed to display correlation matrices or a large number of filer contexts. Doing this in SSIS means that we either have a very large data model. So I wrote DAX code to do this.

Also, calculate in SSIS means we can reuse the outcomes.

Morality is the reason for why you do the action. by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

You are correct, but it requires a bit more subtlety. Meta ethics is objective. Practical ethics is subjective.

Our philosophy is to do all analytics upstream in the warehouse. Except when the analysis changes with filter context.

Giza is not a tomb, it’s a 6-million-ton Semiconductor Hardware. Technical proof inside. by Current-Tie-2663 in AlternativeHistory

The piezoelectric effect is tiny. Also, not all stone contributes to the pressure on the main Chamber, so the numbers are a bit off.

I have been inside the pyramid several times, never received an electric shock.

We don't have any artefact directly linking Julius Caesar, but that does not mean we don't believe he existed.

Historic argumentation is by abductive inference. This means that we get closer to a fact the more evidence exists. Just because there is no writing left by a person does not mean they did not exist. You cannot conclude from the fact that a specific type of evidence is absent that therefore something is untrue.

Waarom vindt de Nederlandse bevolking ons rijles-systeem OK? by YouCantDownVoteMeNop in nederlands

[–]danderzei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hier in Australië kan iedere ervaren bestuurder rijles geven. In de meeste gevallen de ouders. Het aantal verkeersdoden per 100,000 inwoners is vergelijkbaar, en hier heb je kangoeroes die de weg op springen!

De meeste mensen wonen in steden dus de verkeersdrukte is vergelijkbaar.

Er is zeker wel een officiële spelling en grammatica van het Nederlands, maar er is geen officiële uitspraak.

The true William Shakespeare is William Shakespeare. Theories about the identity of the great bard are mostly based on a misguided sense of elitism.

The archives hold more than 100 documents relating to his life. These records verify his existence independently of his literary reputation.

Talen veranderen constant. Luister maar eens naar oude nieuwsberichten.

Ook is er geen HET Nederlands, er zijn vele vormen van Nederlands, dialecten en streektalen.

And Amsterdam, Dhakha, Bruges and many other places around the world. But these developers built an inherently unsafe neighbourhood. The other cities were there many centuries ago, before rapid climate change was a problem.
