Obviously you have been lobotomized against both reality and science. My third grade grandson is more articulate than you are. Wonder if he too will grow up before you do? You seem to know an awful lot about nothing at all. Have you ever even talked with a prominent scientist or read any of their papers ... me thinks not. Sadly we have not learned how to look forwards in time so ALL science is backwards looking (you are so easy). When we look to the stars we are looking back in time &

Faith is nothing more or less than a desire for a specific outcome. Your faith in one team has no influence in the outcome of the game unless you feel personally empowered somehow to subjectively influence reality, same for the elevator. Play all the word games you like, just don’t play them with me. We both know that faith means only one thing to you so why pretend otherwise?

I guess you are still incapable of answering even simple questions seemingly preferring to jump from one bogus accusation to another.

NAME ONE!!! The bible was written by people who lived on this earth (all of them) and would be remiss not to include SOME real people, places and things. But that only gives validity that some of the people, places and things existed. It does nothing at all to give credence to the divine concepts you would make pretend are true too.

I am an avid fan of Sci-Fi and of science, but whenever I speculate what ifs, well I try to keep the two separated is all. Black holes are beautiful in all respects but bad on contact I’m sure. Throw all the paradoxical terminology away for a minute and I can chat about them. We know they are not indestructible but seems only another bigger and ‘badder’ singularity can manage it or so we think.
