WOW! pretty interesting how one little thread can escalate into a 7 page thread and all of it because someone had a birthday. Mr. Newton still has about 1600 years to go before changing the world as long as Jesus has. Most people still us the term BC or AD to reference years. Interesting.
A good point. We still use BC to reference Before Christ was born. I wonder why that has stuck for over 2000 years simply to make a time reference to a man that some people say never existed.

Heck, If Al Gore called me up today and agreed to pay me some big bucks to prove man made global warming, I would take his money and send a report confirming his belief. It's all about faith. You have faith that the scientists are objective and telling you the truth. Nobody would lie just to make money.
I can't say anything about your way of doing science, you know what you did better than me, and you can tell anything about it. One question, only, there are some papers you published by peer-revised periodics you can point? Just curious.
Why would "The Big Government" pays for scientific papers that says climate change is real, and do nothing about it? Generosity and a desire to be bashed by everybody? And how do they payed the scientists of other countries?
Nobody has more money than oil industry. That's why we have "think tanks" that denies climate changing, against all evidence.

This proves nothing, except that a roman emperor and a pair of popes can change calendars and start new ones.

Yes, several published peer reviewed papers in recognized scientific periodicals. And a half dozen patents in my name.
I anticipate that you are now going call me lair, and demand I provide a link to those publication and patents. I'm not going to because:
1) It would be a big bother.
2) It would provide a link to the company I worked for and I have already impugned their scientific integrity. I don't want to get them mad at me. They pay my pension.
Believe what every you want to believe. I was just pointing out that not all "scientific" papers are objective.

If you were/are smart enough to dig out the verse, you might also have been smart enough to understand it in context of what was happening.... and what did happen..
Christ Knew and was warning them that His time was very near and that when he was no longer with them, they would be (and were) persecuted for being his followers.... They would need a bag to carry provisions and money and a Sword for Protection, NOT to wage war
When The soldiers moved in to take Christ, Peter drew his sword and cut off one of the soldiers ears... HAD Christ told him to do that.. NO... and what did Jesus Say to Peter...
John 18-11 So Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?
Think about those words..NOT words of WAR to be waged.. but words of acknowledgement that His time on earth and the job he did while on earth were very close to being over...
and of course Christ replaced miraculously the mans ear...

LOL :lol: Yes your right. I see your point. But your a man of faith, have faith in me.
I have already said too much. The company I worked for was a very honorable and treated me well. They are known for their contributions to science. The people are human and are driven to turn a profit. The government provided grants that were to lucrative to turn down.
Let me give you another example. I knew a man who was an accountant for "American Chiclet" Chewing Gum company. He told me every year they would give grants to various collages to prove that chewing gum is good for you. Year after years the schools would submit their report stating, they could find no health benefits to chewing gum. The company would thank them and the next year do the same thing with another school. A couple of years ago I read that a school said that chewing gum is good for you. I thought of the conversation I had with that accountant. Does this really surprise you?
I will provide this link that I found on the Internet:

I don't think you are paying attention. My point is not that the calendar was changed. I believe everyone agrees that it was. The point is that if there were no Christ as some have stated and if he was not an important figure 2000 years ago, then why would his name be used to denote two separate time periods in history.
I don't see BM, Before Mohammed, anywhere in history, do you. I have not heard of anyone making a shrine to Mohammed's mother anywhere, have you? The Muslims have a shrine to honor Mary, the mother of Jesus.

It is very simple why Christians get bent out of shape over these things, because it was meant as a jab at Christians and Christmas, tweeted sarcasm.
Jesus (presumed) born on Dec 25th who began his ministry at the age of 30 had changed the world. So what if Newton was born on Dec 25 and had made a discovery. His discovery did not change the world. He discovered something that Jesus already knew about - it was Jesus who was the greatest physicists and mathematicians of all time. After all, it was Jesus who created the heavens and the Earth and without a doubt, gave Newton the clues to his discoveries.
