68. It's not "however I want to..."
Edited on Sun Jan-02-05 06:59 PM by opiate69
It's how anybody with a working knowledge of language defines it. You claim that all theists except Descartes define it as being less than all powerful. I challenge you to back that assertion up with some sources. If you fail to do this, then I will assume you are just another desperate theist, changing definitions of words at whim when they don't agree with whichever fairy-tale you happen to believe in. Just like how many Christians now try to claim that the "days" inGenesis aren't actually, you know.. days.

"To illustrate the point, let me now 'disprove' the validity of science by defining science as "the answer to every possible question, provided it's delivered to my door by midnight tonight."

Oh,how I love the smell of burning strawmen in the afternoon. Find me ONE etymologist who claims that that is the accurate definition of science.. just ONE. Can't, can ya?
