I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that I exist in a fallen world, that I am a sinful creature, and that, although I do not deserve it and could not possibly earn it, I have been given a reprieve from my sins, that I have been justified with God and that when I die I will live with Him in heaven. As for why I believe that, those are very personal reasons that are not open to debate. Closing your mind to evidence is why most scientists fear fundamentalists. Scientists are not immune to closing their minds to evidence. Yeah, they're called creationists.

Why are you posting in this thread again? You realize we are talking about God? I don't know what you think I am redefining? I was merely trying to provide a different way of perceiving how God most likely works. This is taken out of context, you know, just a little bit. I said it would be impossible for an omnipotent being to create a society of free souls without also creating an independent world. You are the one who keeps trying to make the point how God operates within logic and reason, so I don't know why this is hard to understand for you. Omnipotence doesn't allow a being to do that which is intrisically impossible. If you were to say "God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it", you haven't really said anything about God at all. All things are possible with God, intrinsic impossibilities (such as creating a race of free creatures without creating an independent world) are not things at all, but nonentities, and thus, impossible. Alright then...you don't believe in the God of the bible because you don't think that he is omniscient or omnipotent. You keep saying "all things are possible with god" yet continue to say that he can't do things because they are impossible. Contradictions. The reason why I am in this thread? We are talking about belief in god. I don't believe in one and I'm trying to get that across. Yet you keep stomping on my beliefs because I can't suppose there might be one. NO EVIDENCE FOR IT! He's the tooth fairy!

I'm not gonna suppose that...there's no evidence for it. You just defined God as not omniscient. All knowing means everything, past present and future, you can't redefine it. What? Read that sentence to yourself please and understand how dumb that sounds. Why is he obviously outside of the universe? Only things that are demonstrably verifiably are "obvious". We can't even demonstrate that there is anything beyond the universe OBVIOUSLY. Also impossible task for an omnipotent being? Seriously? You're tugging at straws to find answers that aren't there...

I understand your argument regarding practice facilities, and I think Dr. Tom is addressing this in the very near future. So maybe we should wait and make our judgments after those facilities are built. The thing that is beginning to drive me crazy though is that our "fans" just write off our basketball team every single year!! Maybe its time that the attitude of the "fans" begin to change! Our basketball "fans" are some of the most fair-weathered fans around and I wish they would begin showing more support than just showing up for games like Kansas.......... Yep it's definitely the fans fault. We need more people who blindly follow a team through year after year of thin and absolutely no sign of thick. And college basketball is irrelevant until March anyways.

This is why people stop believing. Are you actually saying that an omnipotent, omniscient God created the universe "and it was good" , yet was not good? Things aren't going his way? If things were perfect, by the way, there is no world. The entire population is predicated on the fact that there was a fall. So, if you think about it really, there was no free will involved in that fall. If we were what God planned, then he planned the fall (where we live in so called sin and misery because God is a sick bastard). If we weren't what God planned, then God didn't plan the fall, and he's not omnipotent. Do you mean logic and reason? So yes, there is only one set of rules for how things work. If God is outside of these rules, then I have no reason to deal with him because he's outside of this universe. If he intervenes in this universe, then he is subject to logic and reason. If it's so obvious, why do you still believe in it? You just laid out how the God of the Judeo/Christian bible is completely illogical through the riddle of Epicurus, but you still defend it?

Apparently I wasn't on here enough because everytime I kept hitting my bookmark link, it went 404 on me. So one day I just put in huskerboard.com and all of a sudden new board! Sweet kick ass guys.

That whole video is predicated on the premise of "the world went from a tribal society where humans only produced for themselves, but because they were smart enough to domesticate work animals and develop better technology, they produced EXCESS product. that they sold to others. (Capitalism, no?)" Let's be honest here, there was no royalty when man was first domesticating crops and animals. The video said itself that in tribal times, humans only produced what they could consume. And we all know that they had all sorts of crazy superstitions then too and now ruling class to exploit it. So where was this enslaving of humans coming from? Well, the ruling class didn't exist yet. It didn't exist until they produced excess product, to sell, and to profit from. Now because effed up people exist and don't care about the rights of others, captured and sold people because they are the ultimate livestock, for what it's worth. Now, we are slaves because of this, because religion and statism is easily manipulated to keep us livestock, whether it seems we are free or not. What made us slaves in the first place? Capitalism. Simple as that. The only people who are truly free are those who consume ONLY what they produce. Tribal societies, the amish, and guys with beards who live in log cabins in montana. Capitalism? Yeah that's the problem, because a system werein the biggest and strongest among a group take what they want by shear force was liberating. To compare our current state with slavery is rediculous and to assume that we would all be better off living in straw huts until death's mericiful embrace at the ripe old age of 14 came a callin is even more perpostorous. That said, Obamacare is an outright usurpation of power unpresidented in our peacetime republic. Notice that I didn't compare our current system with slavery. The effing video did with it's slippery slope fallacies. But it failed to describe what caused the slippery slope fallacy in the first place, because they can't open their eyes to something they disagree with. The first causation being CAPITALISM.

There is no god. The burden of proof is on the claimant. Extraordinary claims call for extraordinary evidence, evidence that just does not exist.

I got a challenge that goes with this... Who's in front of us? 1-8

i don't like the use of the N with the script huskers on it anymore. it's so 90s.

I wonder - where does a person find these Nebraska fans you're talking about? There have been uncountable numbers of threads screaming for Watson's head, Cotton's head, Gilmore's head, and new players all over the offense. Everyone I speak to in my daily life is royally pissed about our offense. My family is furious. The fans I talk to on the street or in bars or at the coffee shop are pissed. Everywhere I go it's the same thing - people think we wasted this defense, and Suh's senior year, this season. So where is this enclave of happy Husker fans that "seem quite satisfied with our offense?" Are they hanging out with Sasquatch and his unicorn pals? I'm satisfied with the offense....last year's offense. One season is an abberration. Two seasons is a trend. Craig Bohl got another season after the end of 2001 to right the ship and he couldn't. Watson will get the same.

It is a bit of a hard pill to swallow when the schools that run the option have so much success with it, and even Osborne himself has explained why it worked and why it would still work. And I'm fine with us running a spread...as in the spread option. I care much less about the formation we line up in than I do about what we do once the ball is snapped. Option football gives you additional weapons on O, and forces the D to worry about more. You mean like Michigan?

Yeah, that being multiplie/diversified thing worked wonders this year. Hopefully it works as good next year as it did this year............. Yeah, good thing we dumped smashmouth/option so we can be "multiple". It got our offense this year to a 112th national ranking!! Who needs TO's "run the ball" offense? wasn't the offense ranked in the top 15 in 08? your argument is invalid. So you're saying everything is great if we're top 15 offense one year and then 112th offense the next? lol! Gee, maybe we can find a way to have 5th year seniors all over our offense every other year huh? We'll just ignore every other year, right? There is "no" excuse for NU having that lame of an offense. None. I'm sorry...you basically gave the excuse for NU having that lame of an offense. We didn't have 5th year seniors and all over the place like we did last year. We also didn't have a dolt of a QB, dolts on the O-Line, and WR's didn't drop passes. It was a perfect storm of crappiness. So you can't say that the offense doesn't work, because it worked last year as well as the year before, quite frankly. It's worked since late 2005 until this year. Also I'm glad I'm on this side of the argument, because no matter how much you people bitch that we aren't running the offense of the 90's anymore, it's NEVER COMING BACK!!!!!!! If it's watson or somebody else, we are gonna run spread with emphasis on the run. Quite frankly, I can't wait. It's a hard pill to swallow isn't it?

dude the music is what made it BA.. imo you should have let the first song on a little longer, but its still tight dude. props Yeah that music is awesome. Made the video so much better. You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. That music is annoying and terrible. There's tons of great hip hop songs to choose from. Why choose the terrible kind?

Terrible TERRIBLE music. Stop with the madness...

NCIS

I don't...the raiders are terrible. Suh can't play QB.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd love for the guy to be the number one pick but i don't want him to wallow in obscurity being on a terrible team like cleveland, st louis, or oakland or something. And i'm a raiders fan. :'(

Agreed...nobody liked him when he was here the first time.

To me, this is a completely wacked out view of WRs. We favor mismatches in blocking rather than pass-catching and playmaking ability? I hope not. Thank you for saying this. I don't want the Zac Lee sucks so we're making due offense anymore.

oh come on! Don't even come off this way. The rest of the country didn't see the way I saw it, but that doesn't mean I have to insult the winner. It's not insulting...it's a fact. He wasn't the best player in the country. No question
