This made me laugh

Facebook: Thank you, David. This made me laugh...(R2DETOX).

Facebook: Did some 'fundi' take this too plain literally, when it was out of context?

Facebook: Yes, unlike the writers of sacred Islamic texts, for example, Matthew, Mark and Luke were actually associates and scribes within the New Testament era community. 

These three were within the early Christian Church. 

Amazing how much more accurate to reality the doctrine and theology is (compared to the contrary) when it is historically revealed by the triune God within the Christian community, which witnessed the gospel mission of Jesus Christ, his supernatural miracles, his death on the cross (atonement) and his resurrection.

Matthew, Mark and Luke are also unlike many modern age theological revisionists...

Philosophical & Theological Reflections On Satirical Images: Chicken

Thank you to Mr. James Lee. The Christian Church in western society should market itself effectively. However, this should be done without watering down the gospel message and core doctrines and theology. This Christian Church should be relatable to the public, but not a reflection of western society.

Facebook: The comments of a certain Norwegian friend that wears layers....This friend should go on more long walks?

Facebook: Is California on a decline that will not reverse?

Biblically, there is one humanity (Genesis 1-3). Philosophically, I have found that people of all ethnic backgrounds are basically quite ontologically similar, when in similar cultures.

Fox News: With the use of science, yes climate change, pollution and the environment needs to be addressed effectively. But the everyday economy with common sense, also needs to be dealt with effectively.

The Guardian: From a British source, so not just American...(British friends).

Facebook: Wow, that does look like insulation from our former house in Pitt Meadows. It is effective, but with a horrible smell and overall effect. 

Grandma then Grandpa

In 2018, I wrote: Second day @the new residence of the Boss. The nurse stated: 'Are you here to see your Grandma?' 'Then...'You look so young.' I love it when that happens... More premises in my favour, thank God.

In 2019, yesterday, I was out at the store with my Dad for Canadian Thanksgiving, shopping.

(Paraphrased)

Dad to clerk: Yes, I took my grandkids out for lunch. They are from Arizona.

Clerk to me: Your first time here (In British Columbia)?

This posting, edited and repaired, February 21, 2022. The original lead video from 2019, has been deleted by Facebook. I have replaced the lead video with a rather appropriate image, seems to me.

Driving A Tesla Results In More CO2 Than A Mercedes Diesel Car, Study Finds

Cited

A Tesla Model 3 is touted as a zero-emissions car by government regulators, but it actually results in more carbon dioxide than a comparable diesel-powered car, according to a recent study. When the CO2 emissions from battery production is included, electric cars, like Teslas, are “in the best case, slightly higher than those of a diesel engine, and are otherwise much higher,” reads a release from the German think tank IFO. 

• Predictably within minutes I could find an online counter article...

MOSTLY FALSE: “ELECTRIC CARS GENERATE HIGHER EMISSIONS THAN DIESEL CARS”

Cited

We can conclude that the claim: ‘Electric cars generate higher emissions than diesel cars’ is mostly false. The German investigators have only compared two models: an electric Tesla Model 3 and a Mercedes C220d diesel car. Secondly, Buchal and his coworkers did an investigation in Germany and then generalized their claim. More than a third of the electricity in Germany is produced from lignite and charcoal, which are by far the largest emitters of CO2 among electricity producers. Finally, in the last few years, the electric cars have greatly evolved and so has the production of their batteries. The investigation of the German researchers is interesting but the information is not representative on a large scale and is also a bit obsolete. Therefore, this claim is mostly false. 

• I am not a trained scientist, but I am a trained academic. A bible of science from Oxford explains that which is empirical, and science that is empirical, is 'Denoting a result that is obtained by experiment or observation rather than from theory.' Oxford (287: 2010).

• In regard to climate science there is a noted consensus by many scientist and observers, but there is also room for terms such a 'mostly', 'interesting', 'bit obsolete', etcetera. In other words, there are philosophies of science and there is room for evolution within. There is room for intellectual, academic tension. Indeed there are theories, based on various empirical results.
