Never bet against The People. On a long enough time-line they remember where they put their torches & pitchforks...

God told us how he did it. I take Him at His word.

When I was first reading Genesis 1, it seemed so strange that God went into what seemed to me the wordy, "It was evening and morning the first day." "It was evening and morning the second day." etc. Now I know why He said it that way. He knew that people were going to say that He created over billions of years and He wanted to make Himself perfectly clear. Yes, "Yom" (the Hebrew word for day) can mean an indeterminate period of time, but whenever it is used with a number, the word morning and/or the word evening, it always means a literal 24 hour day. He worded Genesis 1 to make sure you had to 100% ignore His words to believe anything else.

There are also little details like the Earth being made before the Sun and stars (unlike in the Big Bang Theory) and plants being created before the sun (which works for 24 hours but not millions or billions of years.

Scientists that believe in a literal 6 day creation have done a much better job of predicting what evidence we will find than those who believe in the Big Bang and billions of years. They've been saying the Big Bang is settled science for many decades, but they have to change it every couple of years to make it sort of match the evidence. The same is true of Darwinian Evolution (and its various spin-off forms of Evolution)

The more science I study, the more I think the Big Bang and evolution are a religion and anti-science story telling. When I was in high school, a bunch of things didn't make sense, but I just assumed that there were things I didn't understand and the specialists had figured it all out. Then I found out that almost all scientists are specialists. They all assume someone else figured it all out (especially with evolution). The biochemists think the biologists figured out how life came to be. The biologists think the paleontologist figured out how life came to be and the paleontologists think the biochemists figured it out. The truth is that a cell is so complex and especially irreducibly complex that it is incomprehensible to believe life happened by chance.

Flats or Drummies? #asknostr #cooking #foodstr #grownostr

A little silly incremental improvement - for the last year and a half, my primary eating plate (probably 90% of my food intake) has been a sea to summit plastic plate/bowl. I've had it for maybe a decade, but the bottom warped up a little bit, probably in the microwave, a long time ago, so it wasn't used much until I started just cooking my own steaks all the time and wanting all the drippings.

But I'm trying to move away from plastics in at least some ways, and I know the bottom of that plate has seen better days after heavy use with a steak knife. So, picked up a ceramic plate and bowl at Walmart. Curious to see how I like using a serrated steak knife on ceramic. This was a flat glaze, but I don't doubt it is coated with some bullshit - still, hopefully a step up from plastic. I may also try a glossier glaze. I might try a wood option, but I'm concerned about what my knife would do to it over time. The idea of just a cutting board doesn't appeal to me, because I do often have several ounces of fats/juices that I want to enjoy with my steak.

Any thoughts as to the best all around eating vessel for enjoying my daily steaks? #asknostr

My head exploded

The Nanny State-ification of America is getting truly ridiculous.

I would drop the lead. And stack #platinum

You want to own the hardest money.

If you are in a LCS. Just do a visual of the gold/silver ratio. Then, ask if you have any platinum.

When you say "reality" do you mean the universe?

Will you guys be mad at me for stacking Ag ,Au & Pb along with stacking Sats?

(silver, gold & lead)

The Pentagon is super well designed structurally. Being flat and wide makes it safer. That’s why a plane hitting it didn’t cause nearly as much damage as the World Trade Center; it would basically require a nuke to destroy the whole building. And it had the five sided shape because it was originally going to be between five roads, but then Roosevelt had the location changed.

um, a plane hit the Pentagon?

Do you agree with the following statement:

"Young impressionable folk in the West think communism is great, but people that have actually lived through communist society largely disapprove of it."

#AskNostr

That is a common theory/accusation.
