You’re working towards a more well rounded view of physics. You’ve discovered the disconnect between the scientific theories of the very large and the very small. The attempt to unify them into a single cohesive theory is a very exciting project that has been going on ever since these two theories ...

Coincidentally, that same Proprietor decided to create a blog post attacking another religion today: … this article expresses quite well some of my objections to Calvinist theology: “Why Calvinism Cannot Be True And Is It Heresy?” I’ve never forgotten a comment that John Sanders, another Protestant ...

Meh. I’m over him. Angry guy saying angry things to make people feel mad, all to stroke his personal epeen. Not a good ambassador for for the church or for Jesus. But that’s plainly not the objective.

Look at this from a more sophisticated perspective and it all falls apart quickly. Base 10, for the uninformed, is just an arbit...

Can you explain why this sentence has meaning for you? Maybe some concrete examples? Regards, MG Free will means...
