If you’re lost in unfamiliar territory and a local gives you directions, but you try following them and don’t make it to the desired destination there are two possibilities:

1. You got bad directions.
2. You got perfectly good directions, but did not understand them or follow them properly.

You have got to be kidding me. The description screens are not as good? I've heard hollow arguments, but that's the worst one I've heard in a long time.

As an illustration, consider the 'numeric input' that is used in places like the HLPM. Even if the designer wanted to sacrifice all 750 allowed strings for the script on a single numerical input function, the function could still only recognize 750 distinct numbers. That hardly all the numbers there are and not even near all of the numbers that a script can handle, namely -32768 to 32767.

Ah. But there is a way around this with the get_ran call...

In fact you could make a crystal transport to any town. How?

Right, you'll know the co-ordinates of each town in your scenario (I hope). Upon using the item, you could make the crystal ask which town you wanted to go to (maybe even doing an Av4 thing where you must visit each town first). Then using
the call change_outdoor_location(), transport the party. Voila.

It is not easy to make the outdoor appearance of a town match what is found when it is entered. Never an easy task when there are so few outdoor wall, building graphics.

Yes it is. Especially with custom graphics, and careful designing. See anything by Ephesos or TM for proof.

Scenario 1: God made man in perfection with great capacity for expression in thought and action, to have an intimate relationship with his Creator, and make a race of humans with this same ability. This gift was instead used to join a rebellion. The Creator was disappointed but instead of silencing the rebels he allowed this rebellion to continue for a time and used it to resolve issues raised during the rebellion. After this time things will be as he planned them to be, in fact better in some ways.

You think the ideal is a God who forces his will on his family. I think the ideal is a God that lets his family follow him out of love and feels comfortable enough with the rightness of his ways that he doesn't have to make everyone robotic.

Abuse of free will is where evil comes from.

In fact, can you see any negative repercussions if God said he was going to administer justice in a certain way, and then when it comes time to do it he just let everything slide? What do you think would happen where you live if there was no law enforced and everyone did as they pleased?

One of my favorite sections of scripture is Ezekiel 16 where God illustrates how he feels about Israel. He paints a picture of himself as a man that finds an abandoned baby girl just born. He takes her under his protection and pampers her and provides her with love and the best things life has to offer. When she is of age and beautiful because of his care he takes her as a wife.

Re: "Beginning of time".

Simple inescapable fact here. for time to "begin" requires a moment in which such an event could occur. Hence time could NOT have a beginning since it had to already exist in order for the "beginning" event to transpire.

Thu8s far no one has even attempted to explain how this could be incorrect.

Originally written by Stephen Hawking:

Since events before the Big Bang have no observational consequences, one may as well cut them out of the theory, and say that time began at the Big Bang. Events before the Big Bang, are simply not defined, because there's no way one could measure what happened at them. This kind of beginning to the universe, and of time itself, is very different to the beginnings that had been considered earlier. These had to be imposed on the universe by some external agency. There is no dynamical reason why the motion of bodies in the solar system can not be extrapolated back in time, far beyond four thousand and four BC, the date for the creation of the universe, according to the book of Genesis. Thus it would require the direct intervention of God, if the universe began at that date. By contrast, the Big Bang is a beginning that is required by the dynamical laws that govern the universe. It is therefore intrinsic to the universe, and is not imposed on it from outside.
