JosephParticipant
So they decided to allow the Attorney General’s office to arbitrate.
JosephParticipantanon, What does Mormon history have to do with anything?

We cannot engage in apologetics in difficult concepts, because you feel it may not be the best approach to kiruv.
The most important point in this discussion is to always remember that nature follows the Torah, the Torah does not have to follow nature. (As I earlier brought from the Yerushalmi about Besulim and Eidem Zomemim.)
JosephParticipantbein: Perhaps another save is in order.

JosephParticipantSo a big machlokes broke out between Creedmoor and Bellevue as to who would be mechabed the Admor.
JosephParticipantSounds like it “happened” quite often. Were they really all “accidents”?
JosephParticipantIt was tough, but she enjoyed it immensely.
JosephParticipantSo mepal started recruiting other members to join the Women’s Division of Creedmor, which she now led.
JosephParticipantThe Admor appoints her head of the women’s division of Creedmor.
JosephParticipantmepal enjoys Creedmor so much, she becomes a Chosid of the Admor.
JosephParticipantI don’t know about a fair trial there.
JosephParticipantJoseph gets to mepal’s cell with some bribery, and brings mepal to the Joemobil.
JosephParticipantJoseph dons his superhero costume, and rushes to Creedmor.
JosephParticipantcherrybim: Is there any reason not to?
JosephParticipantThe Admor M’Creedmor arrives.
JosephParticipantHow’d you get out of your exhibit?
JosephParticipantMazal Tov!!
How long are you married now?
JK
JosephParticipantJoseph offers 72 a ride home in his private jet.
JosephParticipantSo 26 told 72 “one per person please.”
JosephParticipantSo 26 gave desert to the entire museum, with everyone licking their chops and relishing each bite.
JosephParticipantSo Joseph once again returned into civilian disguise.
JosephParticipantAnd the gift shop now sold Joseph superhero figures, alongside a token from the squeak/80 exhibit.
The President then awarded Joseph the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a joint ceremony with Congress issuing him the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor.
JosephParticipantJoseph’s secret service landed on top of the building and immediately secured the premises, while Joseph re-took charge.
JosephParticipantA museum guide was posted nearby to explain to the children that squeak was once young and agile, and now 80 is the same.
JosephParticipantAs my agents secured the perimeter, the safety of squeak and 80 was successfully ensured.
JosephParticipantA superhero.
JosephParticipantSo I flew in with my private jet to rectify the situation and ensure the public would not miss, even a moment, of the squeak exhibit.
JosephParticipantMuseum security gets wind of an escape attempt.
JosephParticipantsqueak is anxious in his exhibit.
September 25, 2009 12:48 am at 12:48 am in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660610JosephParticipantFrom the article “Scientific theory”:
Description and prediction
Echoing the philosopher Karl Popper, Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time states, “A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations.” He goes on to state, “Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis; you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory.” The “unprovable but falsifiable” nature of theories is a consequence of the necessity of using inductive logic.
Assumptions to formulate a theory
…something accepted without proof, and it is incorrect to speak of an assumption as either true or false, since there is no way of proving it to be either (If there were, it would no longer be an assumption). It is better to consider assumptions as either useful or useless, depending on whether deductions made from them corresponded to reality. … On the other hand, it seems obvious that assumptions are the weak points in any argument, as they have to be accepted on faith in a philosophy of science that prides itself on its rationalism. Since we must start somewhere, we must have assumptions, but at least let us have as few assumptions as possible.
Example: Special Theory of Relativity
JosephParticipantThey charged a quarter to see and a dollar to touch these museum objects.
They raised many dollars.
September 25, 2009 12:07 am at 12:07 am in reply to: Is Learning Science Spiritually Dangerous? #660608JosephParticipant“However, he also is fully aware of the limitations of science. In particular, he is aware of the great number of issues which are not proven fact but are primarily hypotheses and guesses. Many of these theories are very doubtful speculations upon which other speculations are built daily. That which today is praised and glorified as if it were the absolute truth is questioned tomorrow and then rejected. It is uncertain that which can be fully accepted. At the same time, there are things in the books of the previous generations which for 50 or 100 years have been viewed as ridiculous and false by the scholars. Then someone decides that in fact there is some truth in these views. There is also profound knowledge of the ancients which has been lost that we still lack.”
JosephParticipantsqueak became a tourist attraction in the museum as the oldest object within.
JosephParticipantAnd the Admour crossed his hands on squeaks head whilst muttering to you my son I do bless with arichas yomim.

And who is at fault? Joseph
JosephParticipantYeshivas Torah Ore, 1314 Ave. J, Brooklyn, NY 11230 http://www.torahore.org
JosephParticipantNo, it was a red scare. The Russians landed on the moon!
JosephParticipantHatzolah arrived with lights flashing.
JosephParticipantAnd fell into the pool.
JosephParticipantand a physician for when one breaks their arm. (or maybe their leg???)
JosephParticipantUntil a bas kol was heard, which said, like Akiva and Rochel you are blessed. Al kiddish hashem, your lives were given.
JosephParticipantWhere he established a yeshiva isolated from all shtusim. His (now) Rebbetzin would bake 6 days a week l’kovod Shabbos.
