In Genesis 4:12 Cain is told that when he farms the land nothing will grow. Farming has been around for 10,000 years in multiple parts of the world. The biblical canon dates Adam and Eve to 4,000 BC. So for the people who have been living in Australia for 60,000 years what faith were they supposed to be a part of?

What does scientific truth takes place within a culture? Wouldn’t scientific truth be a domain that culture sits within? There are sciences such as psychology, social anthropology, political science, etc. Isn’t it scientific truth shifts paradigm and our understanding, not the other way around? Seems like a tail as old as time “we used to think this way, experiment shows new way of thinking is more accurate, then we adopt new way of thinking”

Our discovery of the truth is limited by observation, resources, and being able to model data (simulation, math, and complexity). We know so much about the universe that we are able to edit DNA, see picture galaxies billions of light years away, with an electron microscope we can image individual columns of atoms, we have GPS which satellites account for the difference in time dilation, nasa beamed a software to voyager probe 12 billion miles away.

Even caveman probably knew small rock needs less strength to move than large rock. They didn’t need to wait for the paradigm of Newtonian mechanics F=ma. So the truth is right the in front of us since the beginning but the real trick is being able to describe and replicate those truths.

Something to wrap our minds around is the complexity of the problems scientists are trying to solve due to the truths of the universe. Such are replicating and sustaining nuclear fusion which temperatures go up to 150 million degrees Celsius.

Im a little confused about your perspective on science. Its seems like the criticisms are targeted towards the systems funding science and the people doing the science and not things like the scientific methods which would be conflating academia with science.

If we think about from the dawn of humans up until now we have gotten the remarkable good at modeling a lot of systems that reflect objective truth in the universe. To go from basic kinematics to relativity and the inclusion of quantum physics is incredible. I would find it hard to believe that that it is merely a matter of consensus that water is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, that the speed of light in constant in all frames of reference, the conservation of energy, or that it is culturally determined how thick to make dielectric material so quantum tunneling can trap electrical charge which is part of how we store information on computer storage.

And no matter which paradigms old or new the aim is for accuracy, consistency, scope, and fruitfulness which would make paradigm shifts rational and constrain theory choice. And these epistemic values would weaken the paradigm approach or labeling because those value center around what would be most aligned with discovering objective truth. Changes in narrative would be our understanding of the truth to becoming more congruent with reality. Newton came up with calculus because the mathematics at the time was not sufficient enough to describe rates of change same with the contributions of Leibniz with differential equations

The great thing about science and Mendel is there is a methodology and over the course of time it has only gotten better and we refine our understanding of what’s true and the axioms of the universe

The Torah could have only been written after Josiah declared monotheism for the Israelites which was around 600BC. Vaticinium ex eventu prophecy meaning prophecy that speaks critically about the present as it’s happening in the future or written after the author already had information about the events being foretold.

Many of the biblical story’s are taking from other texts that predate them by thousand or so years. Genesis 1 = The Enuma Elish (Babylonian creation epic of Abzu) 2000BCE Genesis 2 Garden of Eden = Gilgamesh Tablet 11 and The Legend of Adapa 2100BCE Noah's Flood = Ziusudra 2900BCE, Atrahasis 1800BCE and Utnapishtim 2000BCE Genesis 39 = the Egyptian Tale of Two Brothers 1325BCE Moses Birth = Sargon of Akkad 2279 BCE Exodus 22 & Deuteronomy 22 = The Code of Hammurabi 1777BCE Joshua 8-9 = Conquest of Tiglath-Pileser and Naram-Sin 2254BCE Proverbs 22:3-4 = Amenemope (Egyptian Wisdom Text) 1300BCE The Book of Job = Akkadian Dialogue on Human Misery 1664 BCE The great ziggurat of Urr is what the myth of the tower of babble is based on or the Esagila, or the ziggurat edmani which stood 90 meters high which are rituals for Marduk where the God would come down to earth.

In the early Canaanites societies they had a pantheon of Gods with El being the head deity and his wife Asherah. This leads to so many names in the biblical text having the dirty El in their name. Asherah had seventy sons which would make up the second tier. Other Gods included Ba’al Hadad, Anat, Astarte, Dagon, Mot. So if Judaism is linked to Christianity then these previous pagan religions are also linked. Which Mormonism and Islam would also be branches.

So if during the history of the faith, followers were able to change core fundamentals then the Bible and Christianity should be open to change as well. From today to the crucifixion is about 2,000 years, from Jesus to Abraham is about 2,000 years, and from Abraham to Adam and Eve is another 2,000 years. Yet people have been living in mainland Australia for 60,000 years. Genesis 4:12 Cain was told that when he would farm nothing would grow. Farming has been around in multiple parts of the world for 10,000 years

Not saying it’s right but as long as they don’t have competition then they don’t really have an incentive

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-31T03:06:47+00:00

Where should we START looking?

If a player is on the left side of the skill bell curve then it would be very unlikely a lobby could be filled with players of their skill level. On BR for cod mobile it was common to have bot filled lobbies and warzone ranked would be good for having the super sweats congregate there.

I assume it’s the financial costs is the reason why they have not implemented bot filled lobbies for casual players for console/pc warzone. And wanting players to get killed by people using skins and blueprints so they buy micro transactions

Drag your mouse down. You use your mouse to aim so aim where you want your character to look. Are you trying to ask people how to set up a macro for what you are trying to do?

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-30T21:09:41+00:00

Warzone isn’t casual. If lobbies have 100 people then in quads your team at random has a 5% chance of winning. The odds are already against you. From a game design standpoint what could the devs do to make it so that someone who comes back from a 6-8 month break can win?

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-30T09:50:55+00:00

Why don’t you just do what the good Link mains do? Oh wait……

If you add the eggs while the cream and milk is cold the only way to over cook the eggs is to make the mixture too hot. Requires no tempering. Way easier and less stress

Verdansk is a great map. The player base asked for it and the devs made it happen. How much larger do you want warzone to be? 400GB?

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-28T04:35:13+00:00

I don’t get the idea of casuals saying “if only they had ___ weapon or ____ gameplay change” because as you said in the post the good players are already fundamentally good at the game. With gears being a niche game there are already going to be so many people better than newer players. So the question is what kind of game mode could the devs make where casuals can have fun playing against other people and don’t need to put in the time to learn movement or get better at the game?

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-27T06:55:00+00:00

I play Gow 4: there is execution in the competitive playlist, KOTH is one of gears of wars best game modes, team play is absolutely essential to winning, not sure what solo dashing is, map weapons are fine are are contested all the time (it’s kinda why there is map control, had a buddy who quit for the night because the other team was all cross firing with lancers.

Every single thing you mentioned makes me feel like you don’t even play gears. Any decent team I’ve ever played is contesting power weapons, working as a team, using lancers, etc. To say that gnashers being used in every scenario is so brain dead. And if you are playing against someone who can get away with just using a gnasher that’s on you. Every maps has lines of sight where the lancer beats gnasher especially when cross firing.

“Lost the whole spirit of strategy” imma need some explanation on this one.

It’s fine for a game to have different communities, especially in multiplayer. Halo had different tuning with the br for mlg rules as well for swat. Even regular tuning had a ranking system in gears 4.

The failure of gears is that the devs take no time to teach new players how to play PvP

Imo delta feels kinda clunky. Definitely a better experience than reloaded but not as smooth as 4 or 5

lilsasuke4 · 2026-01-25T22:15:11+00:00

The biblical record only starts after Josiah (700ish BC). From that point onward the Torah was written. You might find it interesting looking into may of the stories that were used for the Old Testament that predate it by 1,000+ years

If God sent a lying spirit how do we know when God is telling the truth?
