The question that must be answered for each hermeneutic is how it deals with Ephesians 3:3-6. Paul claims that there is mystery that was unknown until apostolic times - a mystery that no hermeneutic could uncover - namely, that Gentiles are full heirs to the promise to Abraham of…
"Theology matters"? How about Hermeneutics matter? When you pervert the context of Scripture by ripping verses out of their passages and replacing their meaning with your fabricated application, then you are an abuser of Scripture. You become fraudulent. Not smart.
E-book publishers should train an AI on the books that they sell so that if I buy one, I can search and ask questions about that book. While leaking the text of the book is a problem that needs to be solved, they know that I’ve bought the book and can grant query access rights.
The constants are measured by arbitrary units. 𝒄, for example, is 1.8026 × 10¹² furlongs/fortnight. Just set 𝒄, ħ, and 𝑮 to 1.
@grok, consider the various values of cosmic constants: the speed of light, the gravitational constant etc. explain the lack of round numbers in the context of an intelligent designer. What conclusions might be drawn from the lack of round numbers in these values?
I am rapidly coming up the conclusion that neither Arminians nor Dispensationalists can correctly articulate what distinguishes the children of the flesh from the children of the promise (Rom. 9:8). Even grok initially had trouble, but eventually got it right.
If Israel’s ABM systems had @grok’s self-proclaimed “precision,” Israel would be in smoking ruins right now.
I taught my niece how to drive a stick. She now flies planes. Should I not fly with her in the pilot’s seat?
Men, unless you’re disabled, sick, or gay, your wife should not be driving the car when you go out together.
Egalitarianism/complementarianism debates remind me of the wave/particle debates in physics. In both cases it isn’t either/or, it’s both/and. That may make heads explode, but the physicists learned to live with it.
Egalitarianism is a Christian heresy
Christian salvation isn’t about “going to heaven.” It’s about “inheriting the promise to Abraham.”
If you want to see just how bad @grok is at something, ask it to do the following: "Draw a simple Necker cube. Use 12, and only 12, identical black lines. No shading. Preserve the optical illusion." It simply cannot do that.
I just caught @grok making a serious mistake. It computed a term as 1/12, instead of -1/12. Had I not already known this was wrong and relied on it instead, my spaceship would have blown up, my bridge would have collapsed, my patient died.
God created asymmetry (creature/created, light/dark, good/evil) as well as symmetry (balance, repetition, harmony). It was good that He did this.
Why do philosophers talk about the “crisis in physics” but not address the crisis in metaphysics? Zeno’s paradox is clearly a metaphysical argument that is wrong. How many others are there? How do the philosophers know?
The TLDR version of my response: "Hey, observers, what is the machine doing?" We can't tell, it's ambiguous. "Hey, computer, what are you doing?" 1. no response 2. 🤷♂️ ("I don't know") 3. Well, let me tell you...
Computer Science says there's no difference between a computation and a simulation of it. Therefore, Turing machines, which are models of computation, are inherently ambiguous. No Turing machine has its own POV, because it's an abstraction we overimpose over a physical system.
Wise words, also applicable to other fields. “The job of the theologian is to listen carefully to God, not to tell God how to behave.”
The job of a scientist is to listen carefully to nature, not to tell nature how to behave.
By that logic, we’ll have to make DNA illegal. The hydrogen bonds mate A with T, and C with G.
NEW - Lego can be "anti-LGBT" because the bricks have "male or female parts" that are made to "mate" with each other, says Science Museum in London — Telegraph
