Consider the binary state of innocent person and law transgressor. One
breaking of the law and you move from innocent to transgressor. That's
how it is with sin.
 
The Bible does talk about degrees of sin. For example, for a person in
a teaching position to mislead those who are God's (to give people a
false teaching), the Bible says "it is better for that person to have
a millstone tied around their neck and be cast in the sea." And there
are some who did not receive the Apostles when they went out, and Jesus
commanded the Apostles to shake the dust off their feet as a testimony
against them, stating it would be better for the inhabitants of Sodom
and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for them.
 
So there are degrees. But, moving from unsinful to sinful requires one
sin. And, we actually all carry Adam's original sin (dead in our spirit
because of what Adam did, and because we all descend from Adam and Eve).
 
All of us need to be forgiven. Those who can see their sinful state are
being blessed by God with that knowledge so they can come out from the
world, from their sin, repent of the bad things they're doing (to stop
sinning), and to ask Jesus to forgive them.
 
All who do this are saved. The rest remain as they are (unsaved, on
their way to judgment).
 
You can see a visualization of this in this video:
 
Begins at 23:33:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es7w8G6Q5oc&t=23m33s
 
The guilty come forward with the "red" in their folders showing their
sin. All have guilt, including those Jesus saves. But, in the case
of those who ask Jesus for forgiveness, He exchanges an empty folder
for their sinful folder, leaving them sin-free and innocent again be-
fore God.

Funny how the bible claims that we're all descended from 2 people yet incest
is also sin. It remains strangely silent when it comes to squaring that
contradictory circle.

Incest wasn't sin in the beginning. It's only become sin since the time
of Moses, when the accumulation of genetic defects from the time of our
creation began to impact our DNA. God knew this would happen, so he made
a law to not marry close relatives. Why?
 
Marrying close relatives meant the errors you have will be similar to
the errors your close relatives have, meaning the DNA would not be via-
ble for the offspring. If you marry someone who's not your close rela-
tive, then you'll be far less likely to have the same errors, so be-
tween the two of you, viable DNA will be passed on to your children.
 
But in the beginning, Adam and Eve's DNA was perfect. It only began to
accumulate errors at a certain rate, and it took a couple thousand years
to accumulate enough errors to begin affecting things. Going back to
Adam and Eve, that original DNA actually contained all of the different
variations of people types that we see (the Eskimos, those with blonde
hair, blue eyes, green eyes, dark skin, red skin, yellow skin, long legs,
short legs, wide faces, narrow faces, etc.).
 
It's similar to how you take a mutt and when it has puppies there's a
wide range of dog styles that come out. With Adam and Eve, they would've
had children of all different kinds, who would've gone on and done the
same, but over time more and more specialized, just as is seen when you
breed animals.
 
Here's a video explaining how it works:
 
Begins at 8:52:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbODW6XO8zY&t=8m52s
 
It all aligns with science. It all aligns with what we can observe and
see and test and examine. And it explains the things we find in the
fossil record.
 
The Bible does not hide from science. It explains science in the way
which maintains God's presence in our lives, and it points out the flaws
and errors in the worldview with evolution, which is un-provable.

The Bible teaches also: "Come, let us reason together."
 
Do you expect a 5 year old to understand calculus? That child has to
grow, and learn, and when they mature and enter a university math class
they can then be introduced to calculus.
 
In our history, there has not been great technology throughout most of
our time on this Earth. There was useful technology being introduced,
but it's only been in the past several hundred years that we've had
more and more knowledge being conveyed and built upon, through books,
through a sharing of information.
 
This was prophesied in the book of Daniel simply:
 
Daniel 12:4
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,
even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.

Sin has affected the whole world. Animals used to all eat grass and
herbs. Trees and plants didn't have thorns and thistles. The snake
used to have legs.
 
Sin resulted in natural changes to the Earth, plus there were things
that sin introduced which now enabled things apart from God's plan
per His original design.
 
He promises to restore all things to the way they were intended in
the millennial reign.

Scientific truth:
Evidence based assumptions tested in the field.
 
Biblcal truth:
Some stories written by donkey riding peasents 2000+ years ago and mistranslated
ever since.

Everything the Bible teaches on can be correlated with what we do
observe in the fossil record, in the laboratory, or in intelligent
reason and conjecture.
 
The parts that require faith are those thing which are the miracles
of God ... but even then, through intelligent reason an conjecture,
couldn't an all-powerful God do miracles? Of course He could. So
even those miracles stand up to our reason.

Not everybody will be saved, boltar. This information is given to
you so that if you can hear the truth on the inside, then you will
come out from the world, repent of your sin, ask forgiveness and
be saved. If you cannot hear the truth, then it's given as a wit-
ness against you on the day of judgment.

You should point some of that high-powered intellect you apply toward
decryption algorithms toward a one-evening study of the book of Genesis
to remove your wrong thinking with facts.
 
There were people in the land of Nod ... AFTER Adam and Eve had them.
If you read in Genesis 5, you'll come across where it says when Adam
was 130 years old he lay with Eve and she conceived Seth, and "they
had other sons and daughters."
 
Adam and Eve began having children shortly after they were banished.
They may have had their first child ~9 months after being created, be-
cause before sin they would not have disobeyed God. And we know that
God gave them a command to be fruitful and multiply. But we also know
that Cain was born outside of Eden, indicating Adam and Eve's time in
the garden was not long, only a few months at most, and more likely,
only a few days or weeks.
 
All of the people came from Adam and Eve, and their children who then
began having children, who followed with more children, etc.
 
All of these questions are answered by study. And all of them have
half-answers and wrong answers given by the world by people who have
not looked intently into the Word of God studying it. All such people
who causally glance at the truth, but do not pursue so as to know it
and own that pursuit of it, will be left behind because they embraced
the lie, and would not seek the truth.
 
You can read Genesis 1-11 in a short stretch. The entire rest of the
Bible is based upon an understanding of what happened there:
 
Genesis 1-11 in scripture (and you can read the NIV, ESV, or other
version if you prefer more modern English, but go back to the KJV
for the truest conveyance of the original language message):
 
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1-11&version=KJV
 
-----
Here's a video giving you a 40,000 foot flyover of the book of Genesis:
 
Genesis 1-11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQI72THyO5I
Genesis 12-50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4isSyennFo
 
That overview does not go into details, and is glosses over a great
many important things, but it is a high-level starting point that
will pique the curiosity of those seeking the truth.

It does not matter. He can hand-wave away all science, whole biology,
geology, all physics, astronomy, paleontology and whatever other
science. It is totally pointless to discuss.
 
For example geology: Tens of millions of years of swampy forests of huge
ferns and scale trees fossilized as peat then another three hundreds
of millions of years of geological processes turned it into lignite ->
sub-bituminous coal -> bituminous coal -> anthracite. There are more
than tens of thousands of tonnes of it per square mile of earth surface and
so we have mined it for thousands of years since copper age, burnt
thousands of billions of tonnes of it as good fuel with what one can
smelt metals or fuel steam engines and there are still way more of it
left.
 
But ... his bronze age Arabian shepherd fairy tale says that it
somehow formed during single 40 (or was it 150) days long flood together
with rest of miles thick fossil-rich sedimentary rocks everywhere.
From what? If cover all dry land with thick forest and then turn that all
into coal then there are still several orders of magnitude of material
missing and we are only talking about single geological layer from Carboniferous. What can be there even to discuss?

I think I might have inadvertently stepped into an old debate about
assert, and don't want to enter it permanently. Just to clarify my
view a bit: I believe that if it matters whether I disable assert(),
I have a bug.

The two standards say this is pretty much the same way:
 
Re: pointer + integer:
"If both the pointer operand and the result point to elements of the
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object, the
evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the behavior is
undefined. If the result points one past the last element of the array
object, it shall not be used as the operand of a unary * operator that
is evaluated." (C 6.5.6p8).
 
"If both the pointer operand and the result point to elements of the
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object, the
evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the behavior is
undefined." (C++ 5.7p4)
 
However, the last sentence of the C 6.5.6p8 doesn't seem to have a
corresponding clause in the C++ standard, which surprises me.

And that's called an ascii-armored PGP signature. It may come as a shock to

24 hours and thats the best you can come up with? Where it came from doesn't
matter, the fact is you don't need MIME in a usenet post which brings us back

Woah, "ascii-armoured", thats a big impressive phrase! Armour! Tough and manly!
No pussy encoding for you eh? LOL :)
 
I won't ask if you actually know what it means since clearly you don't and have
just learnt it parrot fashion from PGP For Dummies. Also since you can't use
google either I'll just point this out to you:
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding
 
"These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the channel does
not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean. PGP
documentation (RFC 4880) uses the term ASCII armor for binary-to-text encoding
when referring to Base64."
^^^^^^
 
Have another 24 hours to think up a good backpedal for this why don't you.

Actually, the headers in USENET articles are defined in RFC 1036, not RFC 822.
 
"the USENET News standard is more restrictive than the Internet standard, placing additional
requirements on each message and forbidding use of certain Internet features"
 
Given that you're the only person posting MIME it seems you're the outlier.
 
You may also wish to consider that the second "M" in "MIME" stands for
MAIL.

RFC 1036 is obsolete. The format is defined in RFC 5536:

Short, precise, and on the point, is the only requirement. No need to be
verbose. And I do not have a specific posting schedule. I choose to grace
you with my presence whenever I feel like it. Sometimes it's very often,
sometimes it's every once in a while. You never know, so it's always a
pleasant surprise, and that's how I like it.

You also don't need a "Subject:" header either. Or a valid "From:" header
either; none of which are required by NNTP. It seems that whatever point you
were trying to make by that: it's so profound, so mind-blowing, and so Earth-
shattering, that you are the only person in the world who actually knows
what it is.

You misspelled "yankee". I wouldn't normally make a point of it, but you
seem to be quite particular and sensitive to spelling and proper grammar,
according to your prior scribbling.
 
So it's only fair that you should be held up to the same standards you
expect from everyone else.
 
Oh, and it's "Mr. Yankee" do you.

It's not my term. I am just a mere conveyance of accurate and truthful
information. Your allergic reaction to factual statements is not something
that modern science can cure, so I won't try myself.

Congratulations for mastering the art of copying and pasting. I'm sure
you're very proud of your accomplishment, and you're expecting someone to
pat you on the head for it.
 
Unfortunately, your hyper-active cranial matter failed to note that the
content in question was explicitly identified as carrying a
 
Content-Type: application/pgp-signature
 
MIME type which is defined in RFC 3165 and specified this explicit format.
If you don't like how this standard works, I'm afraid there's nothing that I
can do about it, and you will need to take your complaints to the IETF,
instead of me.
 
Or, perhaps, you're having your nervous breakdown because you believe that I
implemented this standard incorrectly. You are more than welcome to cite a
specific section, and identify, with specificity, how this particular
implementation is non-compliant with that particular standard. I welcome the
opportunity to correct an implementation error.
 
But, regretfully, you've yet to demonstrate that not only that you're in
possession of a clue at this precise moment in time; but you even know what
a clue looks like, how big it is, whether it's alive, or dead, or pining for
the fjords; and whether you ever had one, and know how you can tell one
apart from a wet fart. Before you can even begin to argue Internet standards
with me you have to actually know them, and understand what they are and how
they work. That's a skill you've yet to master, young padawan. Copying and
pasting the only sentences from Wikipedia that you managed to understand, in
part, will not be sufficient. And until such time that one of the standards-
setting, acronym organizations come to you, for assistance with relevant
matters, you will continue flail, fail, and flame out every time, before
your mental superiors.
 
Finally, I regret to inform you that a wikipedia article is not
authoritative when it comes to Internet standards. That's obviously
something that you know very little, if any, about. Not that any information
sourced from Wikipedia is always inaccurate, of course. Many times it's
quite accurate but before you can actually use it, as a crutch, you have to
understand what it means, and to what exactly it applies. Just because you
recognie a few words of it doesn't mean that it actually applies to whatever
subject matter you're trying to wrap your brain around.

Have you picked up your consolation prizes, yet? It includes a copy of my
original helloworld.cpp, that was written even before the obsolete
newsreader that you're using, while you were still in diapers. It comes
autographed and with a certificate of authenticity. It's very rare, and
valuable.
