Ridicularity

>In fact, that is even more offensive and profane that a singular use of the word "shit." And HYPOCRITICAL. Well I don't see it that way (simply because of the obvious ridicularity of it).

Regardless, the ridicularity of objection c (Saints are dead and can't pray) doesn't depend entirely on the Jeremiah 15. The book of the Apocalypse describes "dead" saints standing before the very throne of God. The book of Hebrews describes a cloud of witnesses comprised of heros^([sic]) of the faith that had been martyred or righteous in their earthly life. Then Moses and Elijah came down in person to speak with our Lord. Any single one of these passages proves the ridicularity of objection c. Together, they obliterate it for anyone who truly holds Scripture to be the word of God.

Douglas Adams. Pointed out the foibles and ridicularities (new word?) of humanity with humour and grace.

> Apropos of not much, I note that in the last several days you appear to be the champion starter of new threads in this group. Is there a good reason for this? It's by way of apology and also to assert the right of reply to STC's scurrilous remarks about me. Apology because we rebuffed him and his ridicularities in ura, especially when he was the agent of turning ura into a cesspit, and he leaked out and polluted this NG, big time.

This interlude has been oodles of fun but it really doesn't address the issue of life on earth initially having been seeded from elsewhere and subsequently developing purely by biological evolution. You, hemi, think it a ridiculous notion. Others think abiogenesis by natural physical processes on earth in the available time a ridiculous notion. Arguing ridicularity (or whatever it might be called) is not an effective argument. We have no direct evidence for abiogenesis, either.
