You are correct it is still in service. Although technically the A-10 was scheduled to be retired in 2002. But seeing as the US military still needed a low altitude air to ground vehicle they canceled the retirement and extended the service of the A-10 until 2028. If that holds true the A-10 will see a longer strech of military service then any other warplane in history. 52 years (1976-2028).

Good to see you're wearing your old avatar again.

I thought I was suggesting that Left Behind popularized the idea of the Rapture. The problem I have with the Rapture is that it starts to incorporate the book of Revelation a bit too literally. (At least from what I understand of the mainstream idea of it.)

I'll check out the website, I believe there will be a judgment day. I believe that things will get drastically worse before that time. But regardless of the exact state of things before the second coming, I'm confident there will be one. And that those who live their lives according to the truth that they know will have no need to fear that day.

I think what annoys me the most is that there are biblical scholars think that every event or doctrine must be explained or rationalized. Truth is that there are somethings about God, and the laws that the universe is governed by that we do not know. And yet some mingle the philosophies of men into scripture when all they can really say for certain is "I don't know".

This is was bothers me about some of those who believe in rapture. They simply can't have anything that remains unexplained. But I'll admit I am somewhat naive on current theories of the rapture, because I've seen such a variance between religions about how things will go down.

Actually, I was arguing that there WILL be a rapture Gorgon. hehe. If you get a chance, read the articles I linked to. There are a GREAT many reputable biblical scholars that argue that there will be a pre-wrath rapture. For ages, the catholic churched suppressed that interpretation, so it looks as though it arose recently while it most certainly did not. There are also quite a few scholarly articles out there explaining why Revelation DIDN'T occur thousands of years ago as some claim. Left Behind didn't invent the rapture, it merely popularized it.

Anyway, in general, Gracethrufaith.com is an excellent site for any believer... it'sworth a look when you get a chance.

by the way, your avatar had me cracking up last night. I don't know why but it's funny as I'll get out.

Knock on wood

What I would like to know is how he was able to get buckshot into a .22 cartridge.

Unless there's a new ammo I've not heard of, methinks the story is fucked up.

A thousand thanks!

Congrats. You can leave the cash in the old hollow at the city park.

I probably should but your being so damn nice about it that I'll have guilt if I do.

if you feel like downvoting, by all means do. the video just brought back some fond memories of my early animation attempts in lightwave 3D. is 5 years too soon to have nostalgia for something?

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Seriously? This fad is like 5 years old. Seeing as how desperate you are to get this published I'll forgo the downvote.

There is a historic moment. I always forget my camera for these things.

I see, thanks for the clarification, next time I'll hop over to the channel description to check a submission.

In reply to this comment by rembar:
I will allow videos that talk about science or include it as a discussion. That's not why I removed it from the channel. Part of the channel description reads:

"In addition, if the video is intended to be factual and not parody, it must be reasonably scientifically accurate and in keeping with scientific thought."

The video you submitted does not fit this description, so I removed it.

Ok, I'm still trying to understand the guideline for the science channel. So tell me if the gist of what I understand is correct or not. You'll only allow videos that demonstrate something about science and not ones that talk about science or include it as a discussion?

My pleasure.

I could go through how completely incorrect the conclusions made for those verses were, but I've learned that people don't care about it here. The list is laughable. I can only hope no one gullible is taken in by it.
