In my opinion it won't work using wheels so I don't want to rack my brains. What is the water going to be used for?

No its not, and that is my reason for my objection. Gravity's strength makes it difficult to lift but it is not too strong. Use some other way of saying it.

You'd be lucky if you would lift even a fraction of the water rushing past the wheel. say 5% would be a guess.

Exactly, but don't say gravity is too strong. If it is a thought experiment, think about how you'd get a 2 tonne car onto the Moon? Gravity on the Earth is exactly the strength it is supposed to be. It is not too strong or too weak.

Could it be done through evaporation/condensation?

How are you going to get the car on the Moon?

Don't they pump that water up to the top of the rides again? Look up turbines and pelton wheel. http://www.hidropower.si/en/products?gclid=CMvxzse-n8ICFRNvvAod0akA8w - there will be plenty of ideas.

You are jumping the gun until you know to what extent Lazarus is documented in history.

Don't bother, for unless you have ground that is continually falling away you are not getting any water to flow. You have to have a specific geological situation to work with and obviously the bottom of a water slide is ridiculous to start with. Unless you tell me that the water is wasted from the bottom of the water slide, you can't go and take 100 tonnes of water away every 10 minutes.

This is based on the supposed non-documentation of Lazarus. I haven't actually looked into Lazarus, are there other documents supporting him?

The diagram looks silly, that 2nd cube of water - where does the height of this come from?

I don't think it will matter if it is on a circle or straight up against gravity, so just calculate how much energy it will take to raise that mass of water that height, and then power required depending on how fast you want to do it.

Is that link safe?

Epigenetics feels like evolution in reserve to me.

I don't like the answer myself because he says "the force of gravity is too high" and it isn't.

Based on that Jesus most likely had a brother James. Doesn't that equate to the same likelihood for Jesus too then for jesus to have a brother James should be equal to James having a brother Jesus.

I would like to see you carry on though. Find out if the Earth's charge could change. (Notice how the net charge may be over all neutral but it can be layered.)

Benefit = advantage I'd say. So insects being able to fly long distances would in some way select for plants that produced the right colours and nectars and kept crossing the best with the best. That was the thought today how bees and other pollinators helped perpetuate the development of flowering plants for their own advantage as well. Does it pass?

There is no answer that can be calculated. You can work out how much energy is required to lift that amount of water that height and at least double it to overcome inefficiency due to friction and viscosity of the water. The whole wheel is going to weigh tonnes and what sort of bearings are you using, and then all the bearings and pulleys in the gear reduction drive. If it was the best way to go they would have kept using the technology. The pictures I saw used the water flowing past the wheel at the bottom to power it. In that situation it would be still one of the best. If the water being pumped is already stationary centrifugal pumps probably are the best technology.

What is the stage before flowering plants? Don't just say non-flowering plants, what sort of plants are they and how did they reproduce?

You're going to need a lot of gearing to get an electric motor reduced down to 1 rev /10 mins Do you want to lift 10 tons of water every revolution? It would have to be a very heavy wheel, so how many horse power will that take to move?

I had just edited my previous post, but could anyone ever provide a logical reason for what might be described as paranormal? I will have to find an example of it first and just like James Randi has been challenging those who feel they can beat his tests, I could do something similar. But would a true preacher do it for reward? So the prize might have to be disguised as a donation. It truly is something I have challenged myself doing, to record a miracle, but lately I have too involved with work. (it was an answer to you but I think we are bit off topic, but it was all to do with aligning evidence and Josephus' comment re Jesus doing his "surprising deeds". Fallacy - that is your opinion. Are they really fallacies?

I don't see why you'd get upset that I set a super-critical standard. What does prosaic mean? OK "unimaginative" will do. These tests are to be recorded and experienced in the real world, and they will have to pass my veterinary/medical knowledge as well. I can read blood tests and xrays plates as good as anyone. It could be someone very proficient in magic tricks that will still fool me and beat my best efforts at verification. We'll see!

Surely it is a difficult yet expected standard. You would expect cases to have the same degree of evidence. I am setting a high standard and a difficult one. But as the references to Jesus often point out his healing powers as his defining characteristic, we should list this characteristic. So if the deeds were real would they stand my test (verifiable evidence of these "surprising deeds"), and not just your test (of the magician, slight of hand and trickery)? Looking at Josephus History of the Jews:

E.g. If it was claimed a cripple was healed we might have X-ray or video results before and after. In other words quite substantial proof.
