Trump has used regulatory interventions to take US Government ownership stakes in 30 corporations so far, is that what you mean by "nationalization of private companies"?

Scientist were looking for an alternate theory of creation besides the Bible. It concluded the universe was created suddenly with a Big Bang. That doesn’t differ from the creation in the Bible when God created the universe.
Essentially, Genesis and current cosmological theory say the same thing. It was a Belgian priest and physicist named Georges Lemaître who first saw in Einstein's equations that the universe had a beginning. In 1927, he used Albert Einstein’s equations of General Relativity to show the universe was expanding, and in 1931 he advanced the "primeval atom" idea—which is the foundation of the Big Bang theory. Einstein couldn't believe it and added the cosmological constant to keep the universe static and dismiss Lemaître’s expanding model. He later accepted it and removed the constant after Edwin Hubble provided observational evidence that the universe was indeed expanding.
It was the Judeo-Christian world view that changed the world's conception of time itself, prior to that the predominant view was of a cyclical universe, the Ancient Greeks thought Socrates drank the Hemlock at exactly the same moment every cycle. The Christian idea that time had a beginning and progresses linearly fundamentally changed the way we think about time, and it was a Priest that recognized that Einstein's equations confirmed the Judeo-Christian theory over three thousand years later. Science doesn't just concur with Genesis in the sense of time having a beginning, it has developed a theory of the evolution of the universe that corresponds to Genesis 1 almost perfectly. Genesis 1 recapitulates the story of the creation of external reality in only thirty-one sentences listing 14 major events in the same order as current scientific theory orders them. These 14 events could have been ordered in over 87 billion different ways, Genesis puts forth the scientifically correct sequence beginning with Light first and Man last, which has now (3500 years later) been shown to exactly match the sequence that modern science accepts.
Genesis represented the birth of something new in mankind’s intellectual growth, a new beginning that expanded our awareness and enlarge our perception, a generating of a new mental life, new opportunities, new potential, and new fecundity in the collective mind of humanity. It is more than just interesting that 3500 years later, science has arrived at the very same picture of reality. There is little doubt that science confirms rather than denies the imaging of reality that was presented by Genesis 3500 years ago.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

To Sidewalker:
a deceptive God.
Why do you think God is deceptive?
I don't, but that is what Kermos is selling.
Early in this thread, his argument was that God created Man with a rational mind, a sense of wonder, and a seeking intellect capable of developing things like logic, mathematics, technology, and science, while placed that Man into a six-thousand-year-old universe that has the appearance of great age along with fake evidence and the like. I'm not buying his idea of a God that creates the Universe as a lie.
His concept of a deceptive God is very hard to accept; it strikes me as a much greater challenge to Christianity than any damage the concept of evolution could ever hope to do. He thinks he is denigrating the Big Bang theory, but he isn't, he's denigrating God.
Truth must be able to be demonstrated by empirical evidence.
Yeah, but that doesn't work if a trickster God is planting fake evidence.
Science, to date, recognizes only 5 sources of information reception: our five senses. I have said in this thread, and others, that I am certain that other senses are available to us that science, one day, will acknowledge. What, then? Still a deceptive God?
I think it was Aristotle that said there were five maybe, in any event, I think science recognizes around thirty senses now, and I think there's even more than that. There is experiential evidence that is available to those who want to orient their thinking along the lines of faith. People who say there is no evidence for God don't accept the age-old contention of every faith, that it requires a specific way of looking,
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
We put faith in science; and you put your faith in a deceptive God.
So, what? Why is that such a big deal to you.
Are you saying your faith in a deceptive God is better than our faith in science?
I notice you still use science's computers and internet, does that mean you are cheating on the God of deception?
Isn't in hypocritical for you to reject science but accept its gifts?

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump stated that he could eliminate the country's roughly $19 trillion national debt over a period of eight years, he claimed it could be done "very easily and very quickly".
During Trump’s first term the U.S. gross national debt increased by approximately $7.8 trillion (a 41% increase)
During Trump's second term, the National debt has gone up by $3.8 trillion so far, (a 10.6% increase in only one year and seven months)

The prophets promised a coming messiah. Jesus had all the markings of a messiah.
I sure wish you didn't put it that way, Jesus did not have "all the marking" of the Jewish Messiah. "
Jesus even said he had come to fulfil the laws. His resurrection proved his case.
Jews do not accept Jesus as the prophesized Messiah because Jesus did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies of Judaism and He did not possess the personal qualifications of Judaism’s Messiah.
Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions, Christianity holds that Jesus is the Messiah, Judaism does not.

They used the bright yellow to identify it as helium and it stuck.
The color of the spectral line is bright yellow, and the unique signature identified it as a new element, but the color of the spectral line had nothing to do with how it was named, it was named Helium because the element was discovered on the sun (Greek for sun is Helios).
Debby wrote:
Helium was discovered on the sun because of its bright yellow colour which is very unique.
Helium itself is a colorless gas, but its spectral line is bright yellow, and since all the elements have a unique spectral fingerprint, they are all equally unique.

Scientists know the elements in the sun through spectroscopy, which analyzes the unique light signatures (or wavelengths) absorbed or emitted by different chemical elements. When sunlight passes through a prism, dark lines appear in the spectrum. Each element blocks specific wavelengths, acting like a chemical fingerprint. Why don't you say what kind of education you have?
Here's an interesting factoid:
Helium is named after the sun God Helios, and the reason Helium is called that is because it was discovered on the sun two decades before it was discovered on Earth.
Cool nerd fact.
Debby wrote:
The Gospels are named after the authors who wrote them. Mark, Luke, Matthew and John. They were Jesus’s disciples at that time.
Not true, they were named after the disciples, but the disciples were not the authors.
The Gospels aren't straight-forward historical records nor are they eyewitness accounts; and they were put into their current form slowly, over a period of about three hundred years. They contain details of events that had no one else present to record them and from a historical basis, they do not concur on all details, making them historically suspect.
This is not to say that the Gospels are not documents that present an image of Christian truth, it is just to recognize the Bible for what it is, a book that recorded the religious experience of a much earlier and very special age in mankind's development. I understand that the men who wrote the Bible were not biographers, they were writing "Sacred History" from the passionate perspective of their own religious experience. When I read the Bible, I read about a devout people in whom the most profound truth was emerging, and I believe they understood that it was a truth that resonates from within, not one that is imposed from outside.
We must simply consider that someone as disturbingly radical as Christ, as powerful in actions, presence, and legacy as he was, could only be expected to incite widely varying interpretations of his life.
Christianity is not a static movement, it's a timeless, living faith that speaks to individuals in whatever time, place, or context they are in. It is the truth that "is within" that the Bible speaks of and to. If we listen to that "voice within" we will know how to interpret it and we will be able to distinguish between what is permanent truth and what is cultural bias. The proper way to read it is with the heart rather than the intellect, and to do so we must change our focus from actively pondering the external events to passively opening to the internal, transcendent knowledge within.
