That's impossible. To not believe and still be sincere is a contradiction. If you didn't believe in God then your prayer could not have been sincere. If, on the other hand, your prayer was sincere then you already believed.

Yeah, your "Why Is the Universe What It Is?".
http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/s...n+the+Universe
I read it. 11 parts of total nonsense. Take my advice, go back to school.
The bible is a poor substitute for cosmology, and Einstein..
Let alone geometry.

No it isn't, my prayer began with "IF You exist"....and I was sincere in all that followed.

Seems to me proclaiming all of the above, ^^^

'Principle of not quite universal, not quite all the time distrust."

You are truly dense. I worded my statements yesterday very carefully to purposefully make the distinction between the physical cosmos and [b]how we experience life[b] in this world. (But I see that all sailed right over your attic.) The "world system" includes the world's philosophies, the world's religions, its governments, its systems for ruling the nations, etc. Unless one is truly a hermit, everyone is quite familiar with how the world thinks and its means for doing things, e.g. the world thinks (believes, presumes) that all unknown entities are untrustworthy until proven otherwise, etc. However, only a very small percentage of the world is an expert in physical sciences, such as you believe yourself to be.
In short, Humpty, my 11-part series that dealt with the fundamental structure of the universe doesn't have a thing to do with what I just described above.

This knowledge puts me two giant steps ahead of you...always. There's only one way you can catch up to me, but you refuse to see your need for salvation. And this ensures you'll always eat my dust.
Have a nice night, Humpty.

Where is your " distinction between the physical cosmos and how we experience life in this world....

I explained it in my last post, but I can't make you understand it.
Since we've been debating the Law of Distrust, when and where has the physical cosmos been included in the discussion!? Or where did I mention the universe? [b]The world system does not = the physical cosmos.[/quote]
Likewise, when I wrote the 11-part series, I never employed the phrase "world system" or "life". That 11-part series had nothing to do with the world system but everything to do with the cosmos -- the universe in its totality.
Life is what we live and experience every day

Doesn't the Bible have something about the wind blowing from the four corners of the earth? Does a pear have a corner.
Also isn't there a passage in the Bible about the pillars of the earth? If so then what does that mean?
Are there turtles all the way down?

True. Because scripture proves nothing.
