    Although it is most likely that we exist in a Multiversal System...where there would be an Infinite Linear Time Line...Linear Time is specific to Multi-Dimensional Space-Time.

    If you were to use just a single aspect of our Space-Time Dimensionality....that being One Dimensionality....time no longer exists as a Linear Construct and really doesn't exist at all as we understand it....thus all points of position and all points in Linear Time become the same point One Dimensionally.

    This is a fact and thus my statement is viable.

    Well, outside of the fact that the universe is here, and that would be my "proof", I must ask a question. If something isn't observable, is it true?

    I have seen no example of me "making things up" which I would consider lying.

    I disagree that the O.T. is incosistent.

    I also find Genesis inconsistent.. References to Lilith included. There were many accounts that were cobbled together during the time of King Omri..

    None of that is a problem for a believer unless one thinks the creation story is history or science.

    It's only a "fact" in the way Incorporeal uses the word, meaning anything you happen to believe is a fact.

    What references to Lilith are you referring too?

    I usually try to go with Merriam Webster.

    Then you aren't dealing with a fact.
    You are dealing with a belief.

    Conflating the two incompatible stories of Judas' death.
    You can't possibly assert this as a fact.

    I can't take sole credit for the reconciliation of the stories, but yes, if you believe the claims of scripture, such as I stated, "God cannot lie", then its a fact.

    You have made one story the only possibility and now call it a "fact".
    Being dishonest to us really doesn't matter in the long run, but you are lying to yourself when you think the reconciliation that you like suddenly becomes a "fact".

    well, I would consider the claims of dishonesty less than factual, but that's OK. I don't consider that story the only one possible, but, I just haven't heard a better reconciliation.

    So with that kind of tenuous evidence, you are willing to call the story a "fact"?
    Would you like to reconsider that characterization, or shall I maintain my assertion of dishonesty?

    The funny thing is that: none of this has to do with your statement which was: “NOTHING....is an impossibility as just discussing NOTHING provides proof there is SOMETHING.”.

    No I was taking artistic license. Gotta’ love those outs. Besides, if I were serious I would be careful not to make mistakes. I rarely edit for grammatical errors, like this one; ~

    Well, at least now we know you aren't serious.
    It's actually a great relief.
    The use of [sic] was an attempt to display your intellectual credibility, but not knowing what it's used for kind of backfired on you.
