Should all convictions come from Scripture ?

The subject is the speed of light. This is what Edward L. Hamilton, PhD Univ of Colorado, post-doctoral fellowship at Northwestern Univ. had to say on this.

There 'tis!

Whew! That educated me--I think. Can anyone explain this in 1969 high school physics terms? :tonofbricks:

 

The speed of light is the same speed in all experiments.... I think....

 

Okay, tinytim. I've got it. Tomorrow at exactly 4:00 P. M. I'm going to shine a flashlight at you, and you hold out a mirror. I'll have my stopwatch ready and clock the light, then we'll be sure. That's an experiement, right? :thumbs: :thumbs: (But you have to figure out what time that will be over there.... :eek:

 

Dontcha feel sorry for the poor sap who had to turn on the light in that vacuum?

 

Our convictions need to be biblically based, otherwise they are personal opinion only. The bible is our only source of authority, not opinions of men, otherwise we'd be rcc.

 

How do you get inside a vacuum anyway? You can't crawl up that little pipe.... :confused: :eek:

 

Hey, my Dyson will inhale you and if you get stuck in the hose, it still won't lose suction! :D

Dumb question from someone who doesn't want to go back and read the last few questions:

What does the speed of light have to do with "should all convictions come from the Bible'?

 

If our convictions aren't Biblically based then we don't stand for nothing...we stand for anything.

MK: Nature abhors a vacuum...so do dogs.

 

Alas, they don't sell those in Japan or I could try it. :eek:

The argument is that nothing is sure outside of God's revelation. We can't take our convictions from science, psychology, etc., because they are always changing. :type:

 

Ah, gotcha! Thought the thread had taken a strange turn somewhere or other!

No Dyson's in Japan? Somehow I always have the idea that if it's new in technology then Japan has it soon after we do (if not before). I hate that you can't experience a true vacuum. ;)

 

Well, there's probably a reverse engineered Dyson clone somewhere here! :p

Wait a minute. I just googled it, and there is a Dyson branch in Japan. I was wr...; I was mista...; I was not entirely accurate in my assessment. I have never seen a Dyson here, but lo and behold! :eek:

 

My convictions are,,, that I need a dyson

 

I'm convinced that everyone needs a dyson! "The Animal" is the version I have and I haven't killed it yet. I've only had it about 4 years though. The household record is held by a Windtunnel (Eureka?). It lasted 7 years.

Now that we have thoroughly hijacked this thread, lets go back to the OP with a revised question:

Should all religious convictions be based on the Bible?

 

Can't remeber for sure, but I think I've had my oreck mre then 7 years.

yes

 

For every theory there is an anti-theory:

Someone who is familiar to the BB is mentioned in this article.

Neat, HankD. Thanks!

 

Helen must be soooo proud!
