Hello LinearAq,
I have refrained from making any comments regarding your posts to Russ, until now.
I simply must say, you are most rude and disrespectful to our Administrator of this website. Russ goes BEYOND being 'fair' with your attitude, in my opinion.
Asking him to supply evidence to support his opinion is not insulting. Perhaps my pointing out that he has not done so despite repeated requests does sound disrespectful. Do you have some suggestions for me to get the evidence, that Russ says he has, presented on this board?
Also may I add, the one liner you post by Arthur C Clarke seems like a 'Space Odyssey, indeed', ...and may I add yet another of his absurd posts?
"It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value."
WRONG!
So?
The wisest man that ever lived, approx. 960 BC, King Solomon .....was granted by the God of this Universe, the great "I AM", ...."I have given thee a wise understanding heart. There shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days."
Proof positive that it HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT INTELLIGNCE HAS A GREAT SURVIVAL RATE.
Yet his turning away from God caused Israel to be split into two kingdoms.
He, King Solomon, has been granted eternal life. Whethter you believe that or not, is between you and Jehovah God.
One day we will all stand before the Lord God and give an account of our lives on this planet. Some will be granted eternal life, while others will be cast into eternal damnation.
Ok.
I sincerely hope you, LinearAq, will repent and turn to the Lord before it is too late for you. No one knows when they will take their last breath. By the grace of the LORD, Jehovah Rophe, he allowed me another chance, Jan 3rd 1985, from a Cranial Aneurysm. Bless His name forever.
I am glad that you survived the aneurysm. How did He heal it?
Please be more kind, LinearAq, ....'life is but a vapor'.
After being called everything from stupid to evil on this board, I find being kind a difficult thing to muster up. But thanks anyway.
