Google says that Global O2 concentrations have been decreasing slowly due to combustion and deforestation. Changing by 0.1% in the last 100 years, so when we are considering the affect of global warming from CO2 it is offset by this decrease in oxygen.

So it sounds like it is more complicated than can be done empirically, and you would need a complex simulation. Has there been an experiment performed using laser light reflected off of a mirror in space? You could see how much of each wavelength was absorbed by the atmosphere. Perhaps a...

I guess the factors of the emission spectrum for the sun and the emission spectrum for the earth need to be factored in. It can be demonstrated that cities are usually much warmer than the countryside. My gut tells me O2 is more significant and increases in total oxygen would likely result in...

So blackbody radiation is the only cooling effect in what is otherwise a closed system. This would be light in the IR spectrum at around 10um And sunlight as it makes its way to earth and whatever is reflected back into space is reduced resulting in more net heating of the air. And this would...

Just concerned over the warning at the end of revelation. Though if someone else modified Revelation improperly and you quote then, that's another matter.

While scripture is inspired the same can not be said confidently regarding translation efforts. Some translations have been impacted by bias. I see no problem with modifying a translation using brackets, though there is risk of inserting your own docturnal bias. Try your best not to let...

The concentration of O2 in the atmosphere compared to CO2 makes the difference negligible. Oxygen is 21% while CO2 is something like 0.04%. Granted CO2 has doubled since entering the industrial age it is still not much. But consider all plant life grows using carbon from the air using that...

"Wrong member." I was referring to the title: "What if the Adversary is the God of this world?" "The journey from Egypt to the Holy Land walking is a distance of about two weeks." So close but so far away. "God being the only God would not seem to need have His ego placated by lesser beings He...

I would reserve 'God' with a capital 'G' for God Almighty out of respect. But anyways:. Didn't Israel wander through the desert for 40 years because of their unbelief? Yet God stayed with them. This is the case more often than not in the Christian life. It can take brokenness to lead us to a...

In some cultures more than others people mind how you dress. It comes from class divides, when they are substantial, and some people are too poor the dress nicely. Those are not cultures I would like to live in. Nether would a I go to a church with ostentatious decorations.

I'm not sure of the process, but I've not heard of anything in the protestant churches which even makes an attempt to officiate a divorce. As far as I know it is addressed as a civil matter, and the church accepts the divorce. Perhaps those getting divorced will need to explain themselves.

I don't understand what this has to do with Mormons in particular. Do you claim they do not have sufficient authority to divorce but other denominations would?

@Zeth4500 a word of caution. Commanding demons is literally what witches and warlocks do. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines sorcery as: “SOR’CERY, noun, Magic; enchantment; witchcraft; divination be the assistance of evil spirits, or the power of commanding evil spirits” (1). Historically, the...

Nahh, definitely not God. It sounds like a demon. I've heard of this happening before, when nothing ever seems to go right and it is more than could happen by chance. Someone involved with the deliverance ministry want to clarify? @Angelina

I was thinking about the numbering of days to a hundred and twenty years. And this happened at the same time as the flood. So some barrier may have prevented degradation of the human genome, protecting it against cosmic or solar radiation.

@marks What do you think about the Canopy theory for Gen 1:6:"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." How would a canopy affect ionizing cosmic radiation making it to earth?

Have you considered how this understanding fits with 1 cor 6 15-20? "15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her...

There is a distinction between angels and demons. When a half angel dies it becomes a disembodied demon doomed to walk the arid places due to the angelic seed. So I'm more inclined to believe that aliens are a form of half-angel, half genetically engineered something.

I am one who fears this possibility. As there is a lot of satanism in these positions of power. And it fits with Satan's mocking of God's word. So there is motive and operatunity.
