The next question is for God:

What is the name of the Egyptian king in the writing of Facsimile No. 3 and what kind of whale swallowed Jonah?

I'm asking you a question (the clue was this '?' at the end of my sentence).

You would think of it that way...difference between us is glaring

Hey, still waiting for evidence that right and wrong exist...even as "concepts"...but i understand the delay, you obviously don't have a hold on the meaning of "metaphysical" and/or "supernatural"...but i appreciate your revised position of now believing in them.

what was it you said about what is real?....that it must be "possible"?....so how is the "concept" of right/wrong possible?

begin your backpedal.........now

And, as you have so deftly demonstrated on several occasions, a direct answer is optional
....even while aware of your usual fallacy

so, the question is meaningless to answer if you do not believe in the existence of right/wrong then what does it matter (reference "amoral")

Evidence that it is a concept? Do you have a brain? Can you think? Do you have ideas of what right and wrong are? Are you really dumb enough not to get this?

.but i appreciate your revised position of now believing in them.


I never revised any position, but I see you have no problem with lying.

Who cares?

One day a scientist bought a book from the best seller list. He scrapped some of the ink on the title page and ran it through his equipment where he converted the ink to plasma and analyzed the light to determine the chemicals and elements in the ink. Then he placed a page in an electron microscope and found that the fibers in the paper were not uniform in distribution. About this time a friend of his came by and asked him if he liked the plot in the book. The scientist said "What is a plot?".

Many care.

It's possible to be interested in both the science and the story.

Needed more vaginal euphemisms. A talking sideways clam or if the whale had blown Jonah out his blow hole would have helped as well.
