A couple of days ago I posted a short survey. This was to use as some anecdotal evidence in a paper for my class on the Doctrine of Revelation. The paper is focused around skeptic David Hume's arguments against miracles occurring, based on the probability of the miracle occuring and the probability that the testimonies given are false. Lots of people have argued about it and the arguments often get into logic and math debates. I argued that people don't think like that at all, so it doesn't matter. This was well-supported by the survey responses I got; mathematical incoherence, misunderstood questions, and difficulty in assigning probabilities were exactly what I wanted :-) If anyone's interested in this more, feel free to email me for a copy of my paper, or whatever. Hume's Abject Failure by Earman was one of my main sources.
I need some participants in an informal survery. Please send me an email with answers to these questions (consider each one seperately):
Thanks!!! I'll follow this up later with an explanation of what I'm trying to achieve.
During my recent vacation to N. Carolina, I had time to start reading Donald Knuth's "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About", based on lectures he gave at MIT. Most of it is related to his 3:16 project which analyzes all the chapter 3, verse 16 verses of the Bible. Very interesting and thought-provoking; and I ordered the "3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated" book yesterday. I highly suggest reading them.
I Cor 13 (transpose love with God)
others of course
and the idea that every single one of us has 100% of God's attention, all the time. He's 24/7 watching us and ready to listen & talk.
