Thanks for the review Dave! Does the adapter (due to the rifling) turn from the "clocked" position during firing? Would this become an issue with larger rifled calibers? Possible concerns would be wear in or around the chamber. Thank you for the time you invest in product research, it has saved m...

Once again Bro. Dave, you got me thinking! I "borrowed" some round cotton make-up pads from my Bride (of 32 years!) and dipped them in melted candle wax to make a wax/cotton wafer. To use, I just bend the wafer to break the surface of the wax and expose the cotton fibers and then tear it to expos...

Excellent method Dave! The next time a 250 lb. black bear tries to take my SS Guyot bottle, I've got six good reasons to fight 'em for it!!! WeeeeDooggy....Hilllbilly rodeo! ;)=

@kelleylueck You are absolutely right! As you know, one failure is not corrected by another failure. Most boys are not taught HOW to be Husbands and Fathers, even if the football carreer doesn't work out, the other responsibilities are almost certain. First: what does a mature, loving, motivating...

Mr. Obama has exerted great effort in the past to show open disrespect and contempt toward countries and Heads of State that have historically been our friends (ie. UK and Israel). Although anyone could make a mistake with protocol, it is hard to ignore the poetic irony of this moment. In his spe...

@Thedrewsiff When people would worship Molech (2nd Kings 23:10) they would place their children on a burning idol so that they could "pass through the fire to Molech". Not all religion is about love, and there are many false prophets and teachers. If I want to know the truth about love and religi...

The fact that we all must face the reality of death and whatever is on the other side makes these debates more than mere entertainment. I have a personal interest in knowing the truth as opposed to believing a convenient lie. I want to avoid at all cost the "uh-oh, I was wrong" on the other side!...

What an amazing discourse on the sovereignty of God and the freewill of man from a soul that denies the existence of God! This is a Theistic doctrine that has been debated for centuries, and good men have varying degrees of belief. The Biblical principle of the free will of man is just as true as...

@AgeOfReasonXXI Dear Sir, WLC's "defense" of hell is pathetic and despicable ONLY if hell does not exist or if hell is not as he describes. There are many realities of this realm that are repugnant and even horrific but that does not mean this realm does not exist. The fact that we deplore the id...

Sir, if your public words on various subjects and in various CONTEXTS were recorded and then sliced up into sound bites and arranged in such a way as to make you appear contradictory, I am confident that you would scream foul! This type of dishonesty is to be abhorred no matter who perpetrates th...

It was very interesting how WLC had to remind both RC and the questioners that this was a debate concerning the historical resurrection issues, not the philosophic or psychiatric suppositions of an up and coming bookseller. RC will "sound" compelling to a certain class of academician, but the his...

If I were to employ R. Carrier"s interpretive methodology, I would have to conclude that R.Carrier is a thermaticaly controlled machine that spews hot air and is filled with gas. His views are nothing more than the product of the current academic temperature and if you wait long enough he will gr...

During the lifespan of Jesus, there were numerous copies of the Hebrew scriptures as well as the Septuagint. It would be a massive task to round up all of those copies to change or destroy them and then replace them with corrupted texts WITHOUT alerting the ancient world of doing so. There were i...

"Many things in life are improbable" Wolpert. @6:20-6:30. What is interesting about this statement is his obvious bias. IS HE WILLING to concede that even though the existence of God from his perspective is improbable, it is not necessarily impossible? We know we have "won" because we exist. He s...

When I was a lad I spent a cold night camping with cold soup and colder feet because my lighter was spent of fuel. Had I known what our friend just showed us, I would have been a "Happy Camper"(I know, unforgivable!). Now, not only I, but my children and G-children will learn this trick just like...

Dr. Atkins said that science can account for everything and he used words like "all knowing science" and "omnipotent" during1:07-1:09. I would ask Dr. Atkins to define his idea of the scientific method and describe the limitations of that method! The method that I was taught in school is not what...

I agree with GB concerning truth! What is true about mormonism and the teachings of mormonism? GB researches the history of Progressives and other nefarious characters, but when will he research the claims of Joseph Smith or Bringham Young? When will he investigate the history of mormon doctrine ...

@buckmagic It is clear that you are concerned about spiritual things as I am. Jesus told Nicodemus that "unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."(John 3:3) My faith is in Jesus Christ as my Savior, who paid the complete atonement for me. I trust in a Savior, not a sect. Becaus...

Science can only operate within a narrow "method" that limits its ability to answer some questions. When science steps outside of those confines to posit "answers" that cannot be scientifically verified it violates credibility. "Science" posits that evolution is the acceptable "theory" for the ex...

The issue is what is true! I don't want to put my faith in a lie. Whatever the truth is, that is what I want to face death with! Are JSmith and BYoung real prophets of the true and real God? Deuteronomy18:9-22 is a method to test the claims of anyone who presumes to speak in God's name! If JSmith...

One of the better debates I have heard! AD is very articulate and so is WLC. Does God Exist?True science must operate within a very narrow "method" that makes science unable to operate in some arenas. I was concerned with the multitude of assumptions, "perhapsand could be's" that the naturalist i...

@buckmagic A religion is true because it conforms to reality. What method do you use to evaluate the truth-claims of any religion? A large membership does not mean that the group is right, they could be deceived. What authoritative standard can you apply to any truthclaim that would show you if i...
