A "miracle" is, by definition, a divine intervention Do you believe that the Apostle Peter walked on water? Well, Jesus being the Son of God, why not? It is impossible to prove anything to someone who believes in absurdities, because scientific proof is based on the immutability of Regula...

Laws of nature are revisable.
The formulations of scientific laws are being refined, but the Regularity of nature remain unchanged, of course.

Do you believe that the Apostle Peter walked on water?

...there are no “miracles” in the form of violation of the Law of Nature. Laws of nature are revisable. The formulations of scientific laws are being refined, but the Regularity of nature remain unchanged, of course. In ancient times, stories about breaking the natural order were considered as argu...

If it's independent, then it can't care about anyone or anything, including Israel. Everything happens according to the Law of the World, and that includes Israel. If a Jew jumps off a roof, he'll fall like everyone else. If Israel follows a more adequate worldview than others, then this will be it...

Okay. Good so far. Yes, the First Cause is immutable. I am glad that you and I have a consensus on these fundamental issues, this is important to me. In what sense do you suppose God is "immutable," then? In the sense that the Law of Nature is immutable. I spoke about this in my topic &qu...

From a philosophical point of view, God is the First Cause, independent of anything, but the cause of everything. If it's independent, then it can't care about anyone or anything, including Israel.

I don't believe you have. Give it again, or point us to it. I won't look for links, but I'll give the explanation again.

Torah says He has (Gen.18). I have already said many times that the greatest stupidity is the literal understanding of the entire Tanakh. What parts of the Tanakh do you believe? The entire Tanakh is sacred. The literal understanding of what is said in it is not so important to me. In any case, a l...

You'll need to prove that with reference to something more than the cachet of the name "Aristotle." Authority has nothing to do with it, the immateriality of the One is easily explained logically. I don't believe you have. Give it again, or point us to it. I won't look for links, but I'll...

Yes, Aristotle also refuted anthropomorphic gods, and in general the materiality of God. You'll need to prove that with reference to something more than the cachet of the name "Aristotle." Authority has nothing to do with it, the immateriality of the One is easily explained logically. I h...

And, by the way, talk of God being able to do anything is unscientific. God "can" nothing, for potentiality is not inherent in God, the One is only actual. Read Aristotle, and perhaps Maimonides, too. Science has come a long ways since the 12th century and the 4th century BC. Yes, science...

So what is their immaturity? Haven't reached the goal yet. And what is Trump’s fault? Tries to prevent them from maturity. Yes! Yes, this is not a comedy, these are US voters. It seems that American voters are a cocktail of simple Islamists, Islamists posing as socialists, crazy Christians with the...

But we can expand the question again, to include what all Socialist governments have done, wherever they've been in charge.

By the way, what do you think about China?

Well, let's see. So far, we have no advance from "science" on that.
The search is on for a snake with vocal chords—ha!

Look how Mamdani speaks so captivatingly
