You know down this way in KY they are gonna built an ark, don't you?

It's hours away from where I am.

The Bible mentions unicorn 6 times and unicorn 3.

Yes, I would like to see the Creation Museum both now and after the ark project is completed. I was fascinated to hear that some Amish want to be in on that. They built either the largest, or one of the largest, wooden buildings in the world — without modern power tools, of course. It's sturdy, impressive and still standing.

The unicorn of the Bible has very little to do with the creatures you see on fantasy art posters. The word translated "unicorn" in the KJV is a word for wild ox. More on that here. Several times, words have less than precise meanings (like "father-in-law" in my article in "A Soldier for Jesus").

Ah yes, I had forgot which specific animal it was supposed to be...but I remember that.

Yes, the Amish are super cool to me!
And it is a wonderful thing, as it will make it more authentic, don't you think?

We have lots of Mennonites down this way. I've often bought my grains from them, since they can get the 50# sacks, etc. But they cheat- they are electric these days and I have a couple that I talk with from time to time online that have big blogs :-)

But -love those Amish...and their roll butter! Yummmy!

Where Does It Stop?

I was going to give these topics a rest, but something came up. On a previous post, Zach made a comment, and I am excerpting it here. His first sentence is an answer to a question I had asked him. Hope you're not embarrassed, but I want to give you a more complete response than the comments section would allow: My lack of belief in the supernatural is pretty much complete - I have never seen any reason to attribute a supernatural cause to phenomena. I suppose I rule out supernatural explanations because once you let one in, where do you stop? I look at an event I do not understand and go immediately to natural causes. Even if I can't figure it out, I still would assume it had a natural explanation. I'm worried that if someone started attributing causes to supernatural events, they would skip over the whole 'natural cause' thing and go straight for the supernatural, because technically everything is potentially explainable by an omnipotent being, no? ...

Working in a Quote Mine

(Revised) Today, I want to prompt you to use some rational thought, and I'm going to use hyperbole do to it. Is that all right with you? If not, get over it, I have points to make. There is an increasingly popular expression called "quote mining", where your opponent's words are used against him. The problem is, people get to crying that quotes are taken out of context or otherwise misused. Leftists fuss about alleged "quote mining" when their words are used against them, but they run their mouths and spew so much hate, it is not difficult to find something that they said and use it against them (check Joe Biden, for example). When evolutionists are faced with quotes they do not like, they dismiss quotes with a wave of their magic wand and pretend they disappeared. When you fire off some anti-evolution statements by evolutionists, they put their lab coats over their heads, picket your home and burn models of the DNA molecule in your yard. Tha...

The Religion of Atheism

Image
In many practical aspects, atheism is a religion. "How can you say that, Cowboy Bob? Atheism is a lack of belief in gods". Yeah, sure. That's the cop-out redefinition, not the real definition . Except not all atheists got the memo , and some are confused. As I was saying, in many practical aspects, atheism is a religion . It is a philosophy of life and conduct, and has many of the trappings of organized religion. Although atheists will tell you that they believe in "reason", they actually have a religion that is based on faith. A lot of it. I can't go there, Girlfriend. In the United States, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that atheism is a religion The US Supreme Court ruled that atheism is a religion . Secular Humanism (a masque for atheism), received comments from the US Supreme Court that it is a religion (one of these groups wanted tax-exempt status as a religion) Atheists adore their religious leaders like Richard "...
