Congrats to you and your daughter.
Not that I need to know, and don't answer if you feel uncomfortable, will they be married by an ordained Minister?

No. They will be married by the captain of a cruise ship (Carnival Lines) and will honeymoon in Jamaica.

Congratulations to you, too, Overlay. For making the 15,000th post you've just won a brand new 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S which you can pick up in Boxcar's garage. The keys are in it.

Atoms and subatomic particles are discrete quantum and can not be easily broken down into smaller particles to fill the surrounding space
According to your article ... I have said exactly the same thing! In fact I said one atom per cubic centimeter instead of a few per cubic meter. The key here however is the word average. Average is a statistical term and it does not mean what you think it means. Average density in this case refers to matter per unit of volume. ( Not energy, forces or quantum fluctuations per unit of volume.) Average means there are varying amounts of matter distributed per unit of volume. Of course you must understand that atomic particles are discrete quantum of matter and not able to be broken down except at extremely high temperatures. So this means zero matter in trillions of times more units of volume of space, than a few particles in a few units of volume of space. Again, that one proton of a hydrogen atom can not be divvy-ed up and spread out, distributing a fraction to each unit of volume as you seem to believe it can
The ratio therefore is many trillions of units of space lacking any matter at all to only a few units of space containing matter and here we are speaking of discrete atomic and sub atomic particles. Electrons, and protons. [/B]
I will now drop this topic seeing you are speaking of density, too dense to follow along  |
You don't have to yell. I understand that partial vacuums are nearly empty space in that in your fantasy world, this means the space is totally empty. And I also understand your need to redefine "average". Whatever it takes to make lame theories work.... 
You remind me of Humpty Dumpty who told Alice something along these lines -- to paraphrase: "Words mean whatever I choose them to mean".
Have a nice night, HD.

IMO...what you say here makes no sense whatsoever. Luke says that there was a repentant thief, while both Mark and Matthew report that BOTH thieves were ridiculing Jesus. If John was aware of the conflicting inclusions of this incident in the other gospels...then he, being an "eye-witness", should have felt the obligation to present his OWN report on the matter, to set the record straight.
How can an eye-witness to an event remain silent when conflicting reports of this event are circulating about?

If you live in Hcap's Fantasy Land -- the last post of 999 is close enough -- just like "almost empty" really means empty.

Not only am I married but I robbed the cradle.
So, your daughter is getting married? Congratulations!
Are you going to be in S.E. Florida? If so, maybe we could meet one another. I would give you the opportunity to buy me a brewski.

You need to go a little deeper into his bio than that.

Daily Contradiction - 20 Oct 2014
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do every minute of every day, and the invisible man has a special list of ten things He does not want you to do, and if you any of these ten things He has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where He will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever till the end of time. But He loves you. - George Carlin

Of course "pertaining to faith and practice" is your escape clause. Intentionally vague. I wonder how far you can get without invoking it.

Mr. Actor, I have no time to play your foolish games. You haven't gotten past the women and Jesus' tomb. None of your worldly-minded comrade-in-arms either want any part of your so-called contradiction. They can see the holes in your allegation.
And, yes, all the great doctrinal statements to the faith actually qualify infallibility by limiting this quality to the original manuscripts, which of course none exists today. All we have are copies of same. Conservative scholars acknowledge that there are scribal errors in those copies, such spelling of names, numbers -- but no errors regarding any matter of doctrine pertaining to the objective Faith or Practice. And I also believe that God allowed these minor discrepancies to slip in to the holy text for several reasons which I have elaborated on several years ago.

Because there is no conflict? For once and for all, show us specifically how the different accounts violate the Law of Non-Contradiction. Just because you say there is doesn't mean there is or prove it. Prove it by demonstrating to us how the passages violate the above Law.

I'm sorry but there is no "empty space" in my garage for that car. But Overlay should check out Hcap's "attic" for the fantasy version of that ride. I suspect there is plenty of empty space therein.
