Central Florida is the lightening capital of the world. No exageration. I live north of Melborne, but have benn past it many times.

"I told them that some people believe, with all their heart's, that we are looking at their ancestors.

Who do you think believes this?"

I think our mutual correspondent believes that all evolutionists believe this. This demonstrates the most common flaw in creationist arguments. Creationists, at least those who post here, simply do not understand the TOE at all. Why do I think that? Because they are forever posting such nonsense as above.

Could you document where someone had supernatural knowledge of the 9-11 attacks? Specifics necessary.

Would you have predicted France & Germany's opposition to fighting the evil in Iraq?

The prophetic senario is well documented in the Bible. The descendants of Ishmael will rise up against the people (Christians & Hebews) of the God of Israel. Beginning when Israel being supernaturally regathered from the ends of the earth back into the Land promised to them by God.

The Holy Spirit embodying the Christian Church in America, is the only thing holding back the destruction of Israel. When we are removed by God via the rapture, there will be no resistance to the attempted destruction of Israel.

The end times scenario is well laid out in the Book of Revelation, if you are curious. I am positive you are aware of these things. It is strange how you discount them, when they are right in front of you.

Salvation is not in Science, for if it were we could appease our enemies with "scientific agriculture". You choose to ignore the forces behind the irrationality of men.

Bit of a temporal problem, there.

I am glad they have chosen to study lightening at Florida Tech.

He He, I had hoped you would miss that. ;-)

I thought Revelation referred to the destruction of Jerusalem. No, wait, it was the fall of the Roman Empire. Or was it the rise of Islam? No, I'm sure it was the Reformation. Or was it World War II?

Give me a specific event you can predict, in advance, with a little circumstantial detail, and we'll talk.

"I am glad they have chosen to study lightening at Florida Tech."

A course in spelling wouldn't come amiss, either.

I'm temprted to say 88.9723% as of 10:00 CST this morning, but I don't know how you'd quantify that.

Is that 10:00 am on a literal day, or a vast expanse of time day?

[js1138]

Ooooh. Trick question. Giving the exact day and time is a big no-no.

[MattAMiller]

Would you have predicted France & Germany's opposition to fighting the evil in Iraq?

Yes. They're always churlish with the US and have strong pacifist tendencies. This doesn't require prophecy.

Because of supernatural forces there will be no peace between Arabs and Jews, despite the fact that Britain gave Israelis only 1/6 of 1% of the land recovered from the Ottoman Empire. 99 and 5/6% of the land was given to the people of Islam.

Jerusalem has no port, no water source, and is no longer a trade pathway. Yet the cup of trembling continues to dominate the politics of the entire world. Highly Irrational.

Islamic countries, joined by Russia, will attempt to destroy Israel from the face of the earth. The pattern has been pre-woven.

The worst oppression in recent history has been in Communist and Muslim countries. They are like drop-clothes laid out, before you paint the walls. Satan's fingerprints are on the Liberal movement in our country as well. How else can we explain their irrationality? Many are highly educated. Clearly knowledge doesn't combat the wiles of the enemy.

[Right Wing Professor]

I guess we disagree on what constitutes a specific event

[js1138]

Because of supernatural forces there will be no peace between Arabs and Jews...

And who said you couldn't find everything you need to know in the Bible. You just have to ask the right person.

[bondserv]

me - Islamic countries, joined by Russia, will attempt to destroy Israel from the face of the earth.

Kind of buried that in the middle. Sorry.

Russia's involvement is the non-linearity.

Time to rewrite the textbooks again, or maybe throw them away till a new theory comes along.  This time it’s about lightning.  There isn’t a big enough electric field in a cloud to make lightning possible, claims Joseph Dwyer, a Florida Tech physicist, as reported in EurekAlert.   There is a limit to how much charge a cloud can accumulate.

The funny thing is, here's a recent report, citing Dwyer, that says the exact opposite. Quoting "The results suggest that the electric fields associated with lightning storms are strong enough to overcome the drag forces experienced by electrons as they collide with air molecules in the dense lower atmosphere, thereby allowing them to zip around at relativistic speeds."

In my experience, news releases of the sort Eurekalerts cites are written by PR people whose knowledge of science is so meager that they generally manage to say the exact opposite of what they've been told. Anyone have access to the Geophys. Res. Lett. article?

"Because of supernatural forces there will be no peace between Arabs and Jews."

Right. And supernatural forces are behind the Tutsi/Hutu problems in Rawanda, the Protestant/Catholic problems in Ireland, the Serb/Croat problems in Bosnia, heck even the Yankees/Red Sox problems in New England. "Yea verily, the Sox shall know the cursed Stripes by their bats, and their fielding shall be known by the error of its ways."

[Right Wing Professor]

All right, I'll watch for that.

IMHO, there is good evidence Islam can't get along with anybody. Israel's misfortune is merely that they happen to be smack in the middle of the Islamic world.

I know I billed for 65,000 hours work on 11/12/03, but that's because it was a spiritual day.

That, or you have attenuated tenure.
