Matter is perceived the way God allows it to be perceived. I think George Berkeley put it in better words, but i can't find the exact statement right now. I believe Satan would qualify as a deity if he is being worshipped as a supernatural being. [1]If he is mearly a normal object, what's the point of worship?Without a god, theism is equal to atheism. The definition which you have chosen assumes that divine beings are equal to that which cause them to be. Satan being worshipped as a god does not necessarily in turn cause Satan to be a god from an objective view point. [1]Indeed, what's the point? But what's the point in worshipping Satan anyway?

IE6 will die even faster if people would stop designing for it. Usually the main reason for something's existence is due to the support it has. IE6 isn't anything special, the only thing it can do that many other popular browsers can't is use ActiveX and update your Windows system. I've been doing that for about a year and counting.

By this, that would make me an atheist. In a world of subjectivity (which is the world of an atheist), there is nothing greater than the other; "good" and "evil" are but mere words that can't be objectively defined in a subjective world. Actually, there is a possibility for an atheist to worship Satan. Satan is not a supreme being and believing in spiritual beings doesn't necessarily make you a theist. It is possible for an atheist to be spiritual. It could also be an exaggerated form of materialism where one labels an object "Satan." Define "truth." It obviously can't relate to anything theistic—that wouldn't make sense. So why mention "truth"? Likewise for theism.

[1]Linux system, when you're in the LiveCD environment. [2]According to the tutorial i provided, you have to copy the entire LiveCD environment onto the pen drive after formatting the pen drive to a Linux compatible filesystem and then modify the setup in order to be able to boot into it. There may not be a batch file for this tutorial, but i'm assuming it pretty much gets into what that batch file you're referring to does. I'm not sure if there's an easier way to go about it, you can check out the other tutorials, though. And the only Linux distributor i know that sells usb drives with Linux already installed is Mandriva.

You're a novice at Linux and you want to install a distro that is based on Slackware? Well, i suppose this tutorial will help you: Installing A Linux Distro to An USB Drive. If that doesn't work, there are more: search:install linux usb drive.

Website/blog Layout (circle Design)
truefusion replied to dhruv's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
The red doesn't go well with the blue. Maybe change the red color to white. I'd also move the navigation, the part with the gradients and text (not what it is "in"), a little higher and more to the left, just so that it is breaking out a bit. -
You may want to consider looking into Free Pascal. They say it has good compatibility with Delphi 7.

Style Not Displayed Correctly On Firefox [resolved]
truefusion replied to magiccode9's topic in Programming
How is the CSS being imported? If it is dynamically imported via PHP, then Firefox isn't going to consider it as a CSS file without the proper headers being sent back to the browser. Opera will treat the file as a CSS file regardless of headers; not sure about IE; it may be different with Firefox 3, but don't upgrade yet. -
(By the way, your use of the words "baby" and "child" imply that both a born and unborn baby are equivalents. Of course, life doesn't start after being born—it happens before.) [1]Why is consciousness a deciding factor on whether or not it should be terminated? Should a person that has been born who later became unconscious be terminated by the will of others? Being inside or out of the mother shouldn't make a difference either. [2]How does that make it right? That only makes it worse. Because of the irresponsibility and non-sense of the parent(s), the child should not be responsible for that. [3]Why would you want an increase in under-age pregnancies and all that other stuff that followed? [4]Not necessarily, bearing potential doesn't start until there is life, for it is uncertain whether or not the contraceptives will work and it is uncertain whether or not the mother will get pregnant. [1]Of course those that want abortion to exist aren't going to consider it a baby—doing so would give them a guilty conscious. Also, consideration in this sense does not define life, as i have showed that the logic behind it is flawed. [2:1]We haven't established any laws for you to say who will be killed. [2:2]If the assumed law was active, the father would not be left off the hook, only those that didn't want the abortion will be left off the hook, for they were forced to have an abortion. Anyone who wanted and set forth the abortion will be subject to the law. [3]Actually, you're assuming that other countries would care about other countries. But to entertain this assumption, their views are flawed due to the logic behind their consideration. [4]Why emphasize the differences between the mother and child's life? In either case, the one that caused damage must pay the price, therefore implying that abortion is wrong. [5:1]You're assuming He did a poor design. [5:2]Shall we accept only that which we see as "good" and not what we personally dislike from God? God is giver of life: He gave it, therefore He has the right to take it away.

You would need preg_replace_callback() instead. Here's an example code to get you started: <?php$str = '<code lang="php"></code><code lang="javascript"></code><code lang="css"></code>';function parse_code($matches){ if ($matches[1] == "php"){ return "[ code ]".$matches[2]."[ /code ]"; } else if ($matches[1] == "javascript"){ return "[ code ]".$matches[2]."[ /code ]"; } else if ($matches[1] == "css"){ return "[ code ]".$matches[2]."[ /code ]"; }}$str = preg_replace_callback("/<code lang=\"(\w+)\">(.*)<\/code>/", "parse_code", $str);echo $str;?>

You're not making much sense in this post—to me, you contradict yourself. Here, let me show you how: [1]If over 2 million abortions are occuring each year in the U.S., these children are bound to be female themselves, therefore executing females are already occuring, so why do you ask like as if it matters?—this pretty much covers the majority of your post. [2]They'd accept it, for the world aborts their children too. See how evil the world is? Indeed, executing children—both girls and boys who are defenseless. Consider your own reasoning, and i hope you change your mind. [hr=noshade] [/hr] [3]What does this have to do with Jesus?

Is it a flaw within itself or that people misunderstand it or preach it badly? Some might claim that which you label as "energy," God; some claim that energy is a creation of God. By claiming that energy is a creation of God, that He caused it into existence, we in turn end up back to the "creation != Creator" argument. By continuing in the thought that "creation is creator" (however indirect it may be), you'll just keep on asking, "Why can't 'permanent existence' be applied to energy?" If we look at Mermaid's statement, she asks, "So how did it come to be?" after what is said about energy in science. This question can be seen as implying that God is what you label "energy" or energy as God's creation. The context doesn't really help much in determining what she meant, though... It is not hard for me to accept that energy always existed (not necessarily saying that i do), but it is hard for me, however, to accept that something was caused without any outside influence. [1][2]For unless that energy has a mind of its own, you would have to prove that something can be caused without outside influence. Although i may be assuming that, assuming the opposite is no better. It would depend on the last day, on whether or not what is mentioned in the Bible proves itself to be true.

Sometimes when you want a direct answer, you never receive one and you end up figuring things out for yourself. You said it's been a week and he's saying "i don't know" and that he still loves you. Although i can't say for sure and although this may not be something you want to hear, but a pattern like that usually means it's over and they don't want to tell you that because they think it'll hurt you even more. If you're regretting anything, try not to, because some actions will be necessary, like confronting him again and asking for the straight out truth. If you meet with him again, tell him that you want to know the truth even if he thinks it'll hurt. He already knows that not knowing is hurting you, so what's the point in him not telling you? I know this has the potential of starting another argument, but problems don't solve themselves. If he doesn't tell you, then forget about him. I know it's not an easy task to just simply forget, but there is a way out of your pain; there is a future for you. Psalm 34:18

That's different from what i understood in your previous post. But in order to edit a file in PHP, you need to use fopen, fwrite and fclose (PHP4) or file_put_contents (PHP5). You must also make sure the file is editable by chmodding it either 666 or 777. After editing the file, make sure to chmod it back to 644.

Anything concerning the last day is all faith, regardless of what people say. Therefore, let whoever is right about the end be right about the end. But it is always interesting to point out how old times can actually be ahead of the newer times—and by a few thousand years, too. If the energy came from something known as the "Big Crunch," wouldn't that cause a paradox? For if matter can only appear through one method, then every other instance will obviously be that method. Therefore, i believe saying that it may have come from a Big Crunch loses credibility. And, correct, there is no concrete answer in science concerning the beginning of the universe. Why couldn't He have always existed? And can't it be applied to energy: neither created nor destroyed? Though i am inclined to agree that He couldn't have just suddenly appeared, i am also inclined to ask, what do you mean by "suddenly appeared"? Are we talking from a human's perspective? If so, then He could have indeed "suddenly appeared." Otherwise, we're back to the statement "He has always existed." But to answer your first question: You're placing God with creation. Creation != Creator. Can a puppet say to its master, "Go and do this," and its master will listen? You're assuming God has to be created in order to exist. In the beginning of Genesis it says, "In the beginning..." This implies that God obviously existed before the beginning. The beginning deals with "time," therefore we can say the beginning of "time" occured there, and so God is not bound to "time," for He was before it. Looking back at which part of Mermaid's statements this is towards, that doesn't really refute the section(s) you quoted. She asked to make new matter. The fact that energy can be converted into matter doesn't necessarily mean this matter is new. If anyting, it may be "new" to us, but that doesn't make it new. But the fact that it is impossible to prove that something is new should close the arguments altogether. So let's forget about this "new matter" discussion. Subjective meaning is an attempt to replace that which is lacking: objective meaning. A person giving meaning to their lives does not mean that the meaning of life itself therefore means what they want it to. When we talk about God and the meaning of life, we imply or mean objective meaning—a meaning that we didn't make but that was already there and set forth. Which in turn lead to better arguments.

[1]I think you've gone bananas. But in all seriousness: [2] micro evolution != (does not equal) macro evolution. Evolutionists have a (huge) tendency to appeal to probability. This is one of the reasons why the theory of evolution is just that—a theory, not a fact. None of your statements prove that evolution is true. Also, some people accept evolution only because it doesn't involve God.

I'm currently waiting for Ubuntu to update Firefox 3 in their repository, 'cause i don't want to change paths. I've just been running Ff3b5 and the only thing i don't like about it is the address bar—it doesn't show your history of typed-in URLs in the drop down, it shows bookmarks set for the address bar. Other than that, upgrading doesn't bother me; i don't need to bloat my Firefox with extensions, a few is all i need. For everything else i use Opera.

The main reason why i haven't engaged this topic, as i mentioned in another thread, is mostly because you're asking for trouble with this topic. This is not something i find as productive. Spectating not for you? Regardless, refrain from mentioning things that are said in order to cause trouble. Consider this a verbal warning.

Dreamweaver Cs3: How To Link Content To Layers/apdivs
truefusion replied to Jasper's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I haven't used Dreamweaver in years, so i'm not sure if you're using a JavaScript script that Dreamweaver makes for you or a JavaScript framework/library. That and i prefer to do things manually—which is sometimes the only way to fix or do something you want done when working with WYSIWYG editors. -
Doesn't iTunes try to "normalize" the files at some point? I know i've seen iTunes do that, but i can't remember for what. The next time you import or burn a CD, check out the process.Funny, though, i've always had to raise the volume on the iTunes equalizer because the music was too low for me.
