The Fermi Paradox: Where is everybody?

Dave in Tenn:
Yello62, what confidence are you referring to?

Mike, these things happen...and are more likely to happen in Off-Topics than anywhere else on the forum.  It's been that way as long as I've been here.  Seems like people see "off-topics" and figure it's a free-for-all.  It does serve a purpose, however, even when things go south. 

I really am not attempting to argue here, but I do want to point out one mis-translation that Ray pointed out.  Maybe it's helpful.  It has been to me.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so they are without excuse.

Should really be read "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His unseen/invisible/imperceptible power and Godhead, so they are without excuse.

The CLV:  Rom 1:20  For His invisible attributes are descried from the creation of the world, being apprehended by His achievements, besides His imperceptible power and divinity, for them to be defenseless,
Rom 1:21  because, knowing God, not as God do they glorify or thank Him, but vain were they made in their reasonings, and darkened is their unintelligent heart."

There's a lot, lot more in that statement (fore and aft those verses) than ammo in the creationist/atheist debate, I think.

the increasing confidence that 1) all is from The Father, and that 2) well, i guess number two is like number 1, that The Father is the one that grants understanding of all things.  He shapes our understanding through the experiences He gives us.

ZekeSr:
No need to apologize, Wanda. I knew it was a mistake. It’s just that I thought I should point it out. 

As far as going off topic in an off-topic forum, I suppose I shouldn’t fret too much about it and it’s to be expected. But I just didn’t want to see it stray too far as there have been some interesting insights presented. And as far as getting back on topic, the points that Dave (No Dave, I don’t think you are arguing.) and Dennis have just presented are definitely back on topic.

Mike
