Never claimed to be professional, but yes, I do study theology.

>>1869124
Funnily enough, that's actually what I really wanted to do - get a masters with a concentration in applied and engineering physics.

Thank you.
Triangle JPG (that's triangle John/Paul/George if you're slow)
Length JP = 4 miles
Length JG = 6 miles
Length PG = 8 miles

Not really. We have a triangle and know the lengths of all three sides.

It's not like I'm talking about being a music major.
Besides, there's already one career in physics that I would be glad to have, and that is actually in need of more people: teaching. I'm just curious about the other options.

>>1869081
Not quite. The point equidistant from the three points A, B, and C isn't on the XY plane. See

And for number 3:
Open doors are numbers with an odd number of factors (including 1). Closed doors have an even number of factors. Dunno an efficient way to calculate that though.

>>1869065
What careers are available in physics? Lab work, teachings, what else?
Who employs physicists?
If you can speak for any particular occupation, what is it like? What does it pay, who employs you, do you find it worthwhile?

For one:
Can't be bothered to do the three-dimensional calculations, but if we orient everything so that George is 8 miles exactly east of Paul, and John is north of both of them, slightly closer to Paul (forming a triangle), then Richard is just a bit south of the southern edge of the triangle, and at a higher altitude than the other three.

So... nobody here?

We aren't talking about "book-reports" class man. We're talking about reading and writing.

For almost any career, the ability to communicate effectively using the written word - in other words, writing and critical reading - is far more important than mathematics. In a small fraction of the jobs out there, mathematics is equally or more important.

But I maintain: troll.

Mhm. That's what I thought.

As a final argument, what short of divine guidance could have prompted me to create a fort as perfect as the one I'm in now?

Pic related, it's my comfortable, large, soundproof fort large enough for one person plus one slightly smaller person. (read: chicks dig my fort)

Actually, let's listen to this guy. 50 posts later I'm quite tired.

I never imagined hypothetical ethical situations for the sake of examination. Maybe I'm missing something here.

>>1494517
I stated earlier, I don't have such hubris that I would presume to know why God or does not do something. I made my best guess, that's all I can give you.

>>1494503
The Bible is not the reason I believe in God. See

Personally I made the decision through reason. I was already theistic, so I looked at the theologies of many religions, from big names like judaism, christianity, and islam, to stuff like pantheism. After examining each, it seemed clear to me that Catholic theology was totally in line with what reason already showed, so I went with that.

And if you could keep the sarcasm to a minimum, I would appreciate it. I'm making an honest effort to answer what are in fact very good question in the span of a few minutes each.

He can reveal himself, and he does through divine revelation in the form of scripture.

>>1494421
The coming of Christ changed a lot of things about the state of man, sin, etc. So yes, there will be inconsistencies there.

Dunno what to tell you about Jesus' birth date, I'm not a historian.

>>1494391
Yet another typo:
"theistic philosophy without the need for a holy book"

>>1494354
Yes, that is basically what I mean by faith. And sensory information does require faith. I presupposes that our senses are reliable, accurate means toward the cognition of the truth.

God revealed himself to biblical persons, just as he does now. Either way, it requires faith.

It's also worth noting that direct sensory evidence is not necessary to come to know God, as anyone who subscribes to a theistic philosopher with the need for a holy book can tell you.

>>1494321
typo: "its teachings"

>>1494259
Because it is remarkably consistent in it's teachings.

If you take any document containing figurative language completely literally, it WILL contradict itself.

>>1494247
It was never my intention to dodge anything, my apologies. Let me clarify.

The question said that god hides himself by making faith a necessary step to concluding theism. In response, I pointed out that this is not God hiding himself, but a simple result of the nature of truth, and indeed that all conclusions take faith as a necessary step.
