And define "seven days"
A useful literary device.
quote:
life didn't just appear by accident. You should be thankful for the existence given to us, no matter how short and insignificant. It's still ours.
Trillions of light-years worth of universal mapping and not one single hint that "life as we know it" exists anywhere other than on this rock. Flawed and imperfect as the inhabitants of this world may be, we are infinitely unique and our existence is truly miraculous.
Accident/no accident - I don’t even know if this is a meaningful distinction as it implies separate agency. But I really don’t disagree with much of what you posted here.
quote:
I would say that an infinite causer, capable of creating matter when no matter exists, operates outside of the laws, which by the way, would have been created by the same causer.
The causer has to have always existed. If the causer at any point did not exist, what would bring the causer into existence?
I think this is Aquinas? I’m not well read on him but I think this may the gist of the First Mover. My sense is that if we strip away a lot of the dogma it may not be much different than what we refer to as the laws/constants of nature.
quote:
If at any point it exists in any form then at some point it was created.
According to the law of conservation of mass there is no creation or destruction of matter, only change. Might be hard for the human mind to wrap itself around it but that’s what science tells us.
I’d welcome someone to help me out if I’m getting this wrong.
quote:
If there was no creator then where did the inert matter from which life arose come from
If matter can neither be created or destroyed (law of conservation of mass) then it’s always been here in one form or another.

Thank you for explaining your faith-based rationale. That’s not science though.

Eh only off by one day which seems pretty negligible for a universe that’s around 13.8 billion years old.

I'm not sure how reliable someone's critical thinking abilities are if they still believe complex life was birthed from a single cell organism in a primordial soup somewhere on earth 4 billion years ago.
Versus someone snapping their fingers and everything appeared in seven days ?

I’ve seen his blog. Seemed like a legit crazy person.
From what I understand the opinion is silent on how companies recover these payments. What’s the mechanism for recovery here? Will every company have to sue the federal government to recover the payments?
Yep I’m hoping they re-record Liar in that style.

Any moves to make? Stock market always seems to plunge the day after something like this, though of course it always rebounds quickly. Just ride it out? Buying opportunity?
Regarding timing, there’s usually a TACO Trade to be made for instances like this. I’ll have to defer to others on specific stocks to take advantage of the volatility.

Are there any actual news reports about this? Everything I’m seeing is on social media.
