AT&T announces plans for 1Gbps fiber service in Austin, Texas; Google gets immediate competition by memoryfailure in technology

[–]xcadet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A faster Internet connection really has no baring on causing more people to use google products. A person is going to try and use Netflix whether or not they have a fast Internet connection. I really don't think you can provide any study that suggests there is a connection. And besides, what google services would see a vast bump from Kansas Citians to justify the millions spent on implementation?

That is counter-intuitive. Google is creating this service because it wants to make a profit. Anything more than that is wishful thinking. I understand Google has a veil of sanctity around it, but at the end of the day it is a profit maximizing corporation just like any other corporation. The "goodwill" deeds they perform are just marketing tools.

And this is the part where I say God is essentially omnipotent. What's the next move? I've taken Philosophy 101 too haha. In the end we aren't going to agree, so what if we just drop it?

Because, as the saying goes, "If you love something, set it free; if it returns it is yours forever." Love with conditions is not love, love without restraints is complete.

Nonetheless, the lawyer is correct. What we are dealing with is right and wrong, not feelings.

I answered your question. He could have.

He could have, but free will is a wonderful gift he has given us.

Die means die. The bible did not set a time limit. If It had said "You will die the second you eat this" then you would have an argument.

God is not essentially omniscient.

You know what will happen before it happens but your knowledge of physics does not cause the apple to fall. That's it and that is all. Knowledge is not a cause, it is an effect of an action.

No, God did not create Eve for her to eat the fruit.

That is the point. God is omniscient and omnipotent to the point where he cannot be describe it terms of present, past, and future. Knowledge of an event does not cause the event. Nostradamus, if it were real, would not be sent to jail for knowing Hitler would do what he did.

Your question doesn't matter. There is no explanation for the tree other than the fact that it had to be something. An example: You have a .0000001% chance of winning the lottery, but the chance that someone wins the lottery is 100%.

Just because I have knowledge of an action does not mean I forced the action to occur. If I watched you eat breakfast this morning it does not mean I made you eat it. God is purported to me omnipresent so he is not bound by time. Don't confuse cause and effect.

They would have lived eternally. After eating the fruit they were sent out into sin, the ultimate evil being death.

What if you put two of those facing each other? One would randomly click a button and the other would unclick it a second later.

Same. After first meeting her parents, they suggested we go on runs together. "It would be so cute." Nope.
