Some of the radiometric information I used is found here: https://answersingenesis.org/geology/radiometric-dating/radiometric-dating-and-proof/



If you want to learn about Christianity, go ask a priest.

If you want to learn about demons, go watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

If you want to learn about Earth, you ask a fucking geologist for fuck's sake.

They hire scientists and geologists and I wanted to make sure to list where I found some of the information (give credit where it is due).  But you have no rebuttal for the information I listed other than this?  I am just looking for the truth.  Unfortunately I have trouble trusting scientists that portray theories as fact.  That is a huge problem.

Fixed that for you. You are beyond my help or anyone else's until you stop distrusting widely accepted scientific fact.

Pay attention now, because I'm only going to link this once, and it is truly poignant, truly beautiful, truly moving.

Just because something is widely accepted does not make it a fact.  Just because society says something is good and OK does not make it moral.  The huge problem is that most of the world just blindly trusts what is told to them or even taught to them in textbooks or go along with the popular beliefs.  We need to think for ourselves.  Why are you so frustrated about what I believe anyways?  I would think you should rejoice in freedom of choice?  If I agreed with you wouldn't you be stifling my freedom?  You obviously cherish choices in lifestyle don't you?  

Edit:  And as for your signature (Voltaire's quote)  "It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong" I could not agree more wholeheartedly!  There will come a day when I will be persecuted and maybe even killed for just saying that I believe in Jesus.  That is all it will take.  Just believing in Jesus will be a very dangerous thing because "established men" will disagree and say that I am wrong and say that my belief is a danger to society (even though as a Christian my hearts desire is to have a world filled with God's Spirit which is evident by the fruit of His Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control. So I am not sure what the danger is besides the common belief that Christians are keeping the world from their "freedoms" which consists of sexual immorality, lusts, other sins and hate of God's word.)  If it gets to the point where Christians are persecuted (more than we already are) who will be right and who will be wrong?

Edit 2:  If this comes across as judgmental, I am sorry.  I just want people to seek more than what they have been told.  My heart is for people to see that they are so much more valuable than something that "evolved" from nothing.  They are created in God's image.  He loves us intensely and so deeply and the thought that we are not special and created by God is a lie that is being taught as "fact" today.  This is a truth that has to be revealed by God's Spirit though, so I will pray that anyone reading this will feel God's Spirit and see the truth for what it is.

My husband and I asked our church if they would take Bitcoin.  They said they would look into it.  

We have been holding our coins for the past year though so haven't sold them yet.  If and when we have another bubble, we will sell a few though and we will want to give a portion to our church.  At this point the conversation will hopefully go like this. "We would love to donate a few thousand to the church but we want to do it in Bitcoin.  Can you set up an account at Coinbase or Circle and we will send those funds immediately?"  

I think they will decide to take Bitcoin. Wink  We will see though.  

Also, while I am in India in a few weeks I am going to see if the organization I am working with will set up a Unocoin account so I can send them some too.  It is such a great way to donate internationally because it can save so much on fees. 

Just convert to fiat, when the price is better and donate it to them, no need for them to adopt BTC, it will take forever.

I am all for whatever good can be done in this world. {Feed the poor or be kind to someone}

Superstition is the end of reason.

No gods, no masters.

yeah, everyone is equal ... idiot!

Try this experiment take flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, butter, milk, and a oven and just leave them in the kitchen, how long do you thing it would take to evolve into a cake?
 a million years, a billion years, a trillion years?  It won't happen because there's no action behind it, and there no plan behind that.

Before you have an earth, solar system, or galaxies you must have a plan, as well as the ingredients and action to carryout that plan.   Who created the ingredients, and who designed the plan?  You can't get a "bang" without bang ingredients and a plan to make a bang.

...  who created thought, who created a system where by the invisible mind controls the physical body  ...  

You live in a world where 90+% of the world population are theist.   Be glad they don't treat you as you treat them.




There are so many christians around me who hold big amount of Bitcoins, if the church begins to accept bitcoins, they will definitely donate some beyond question. I think it is a good thing and I know nothing before I am a christian.

I couldn't agree more. Also this has absolutely zero to do with what we have been discussing, which is head-in-the-sound superstitious ignorance.  

The huge problem is that most of the world just blindly trusts what is told to them or even taught to them in textbooks or go along with the popular beliefs.  
Holy shit, did you really miss the irony of that statement?

Replace "most of the world just blindly trusts what is told to them or even taught to them in text books"
with      "most of the world just blindly trusts what is told to them or even taught to them in holy books"

Why would a church need to accept BitCoin?  They're already tax exempt... must be easier for them to pay for child prostitutes that way.

It wasn't even about religion, just short and sweet info about church accepting bitcoins.

I thinks it's best for everyone if I lock this thread. You can always throw shit at each other in Off topic.
