Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me!
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Not only is this bad science, it is bad biblical exegesis too.
ReplyDeleteEarly Hebrew writings use numerical poetics - 40 this, 7 that, 12 of this thing, 10,000 of this other thing, 600 or 800 of that thing. The numbers represent non-literal periods of time or non-literal amounts. For example a period of 40 days or 40 years is a time of testing - it means "a long time that really sucked". 7 of any period of time means "enough time to do it perfectly" but 6 days or 6 years indicates a rushed job and 6 of anything indicates imperfection or evil. Any double or tripled number is just emphasis (70 x 7, 666 etc) of the underlying poetic idea.
An analogy would be the modern phrase "a ton of work to do", where the work may not actually weigh a literal ton - or "a peck of trouble" where we are not actually talking about an amount of trouble of that fills 537.6 cubic inches.
Creationists - bad at science, bad at religion.
Thanks, ASH LAW. I don't have patience enough anymore to actually type that kind of stuff out.
