Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
It's worth noting that Laplace was before our understanding of quantum randomness - that the universe is not a completely deterministic set of small billiard balls bumping into each other. There is uncertainty and randomness baked in, such that even a perfected human like the Mormon God would not b...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Within a system their is an element of free will in that frame of reference if you will. But to an observer outside of that system, the free will isn't there because you can see the outside elements that come into play.. This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
Arguments from incredulity seem to me extremely common, if not indeed almost omnipresent, when a proffered explanation is rejected. And I don't see them as inherently bad or false. They're certainly omnipresent in Daniel's work. "How could Joseph Smith have written the Book of Mormon? It must have ...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
A couple of folks over at the Peterson Obsession Board finally noticed the Meridian article -- Dumb-Dud and the former Kerry Shirts, at least -- and have begun to chant their disagreement with it and their disdain for it. As of yet, they've shown no awareness of the actual argument, let alone any s...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
Apologists are always more secure with quantity than quality. They would rather have 90 pennies than a $100.00 bill, because, well more pennies! They make a nice neat looking pile of copper! Obviously they would be more impressive to the eye than a mere flat piece of single paper. Indeed. And no on...

The Many-Transfigurations theory
In my judgment, the available evidence is persuasive that the story of Brigham’s transfiguration was being told quite early, and it’s difficult to imagine that so many testimonies over so long a period and from such far-flung areas emerged from a conspiracy to deceive or from a mysterious “contagio...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
I think you might consider using another manner of communicating/delivery for announcing your second return other than this backwoods forum/board. 🙂 Doesn’t this fit the pattern that Joseph Smith started? Who better than an obscure farm boy, where better than an obscure forum? “Thus saith the Lord ...
