How about a 4 decimal point accuracy alignment of the earth and moon with Phi, the golden ratio? Or the almost perfect 1000 days when summing the orbital periods of the other 3 rocky planets besides earth? There is an extremely small probability for things to turn out this way by chance. You act like it is impossible for reality to have been created by a higher power. Would you at least be willing to admit that it's possible that a higher power created the universe?

It's more than pareidolia. Measurements of reality are leading to certain coincidences that would have a very small probability of occurring, if such results were truly the result of random chance.

Eight hours off of 1000 is quite impressive, considering that it is a 99.965% accuracy. The moon and earth phi triangle is also very close to perfection Earth radius: 3,959 mi Moon radius: 1,079 mi (3,959 + 1,079) / 3,959 = 1.2727 Square root of Phi = 1.2720 AN accuracy of up to four decimal points is impressive.

How about something like the moon and earth creating a phi ratio triangle with their combined dimensions? Or the fact that adding the orbital periods of the 3 other rocky planets in the solar system results in almost exactly 1000 earth days? Mercury: 87.97 days Venus : 224.70 days Mars: 686.98 days 87.97 + 224.70 + 686.98 = 999.65 Everything is created in a divine order, and the evidence is all around you. You only have to look a little further.

In this case, he was refusing to have a part in something his religion doesn't allow, as opposed to simply being discriminatory. It's not the racism or discrimination based on race in and of itself that is wrong with such cases, instead it is that someone is being refused service. This case is different in this way though, making it justified for the refusal of service.

It was more related to the baker not wanting to participate in what he considers to be a sin in accordance with his religion. Baking a cake for a gay wedding is considered participating in what constitutes a sin in his religion. He should be allowed to practice his religion in this way.

Blacks being less intelligent than whites. Blacks have an average 86 IQ compared to the average 100 white IQ. Different races are associated with different geographical areas of development and ancestry, so the concept of race has some validity.

It's not that the baker necessarily had any animosity towards the gay couple, rather it is his religion that tells him that it is not okay to bake the cake for the gay couple. In this sense, then the discriminatory behavior is okay in the context that the baker is refusing to participate in an action that would constitute what is considered sin in his religion, with the action being the marriage of two gay men. So in this situation it would be justified on the basis that the baker is only following his religion, because baking a cake for the gay couple would constitute participation in the sin of the marriage of two gay men.

Opinions of races don't have to be false. Often stereotypes of races have some truth to them. There is this idea that someone must somehow be held responsible for a racist comment, as if they should be held accountable for being a certain way. What seems to be happening is that instead of being punished for doing something wrong, it seems like people are being punished for being wrong in the eyes of others, for a racist or bigoted comment. The real motivation, however, lies in an emotional reaction of an attitude against racism rather than actually having reason behind it.

I am making one....

The point that I am making is that I do have reason and/or evidence behind it.

I've never heard of an insult like that, you must be a very creative person to come up with something like that. A 14 to a 10 point difference is still a significant difference. What would be so different about the environments of African Americans compared to white Americans that would cause a 10 point IQ difference? It doesn't seem like there is anything that could, so it is most likely genetic and/or hereditary.

First, the thread was asking me about "what is faith?". I was only responding to the thread with my own post about faith. Second, I said that I will be creating threads to address the evidence that has been asked of me to provide, which is where I will address this problem. So evidence is a problem that I will be addressing, so don't say that I am not providing evidence because I will do that in future threads and not in this thread.

Humans and chimpanzees share about 99% DNA, and humans are much more intelligent than chimpanzees. There is still much room for difference within a small percentage of DNA difference.

I was only responding to questions asking the basis of my beliefs. Besides, I already have stated that I would be discussing the existence of a higher power in a different thread when asked such.

The rules don't mention woo.

Seriously? Religion has it's place to be discussed on this forum. Even woo has a place in the speculations to be discussed.

It is really not woo if it involves a higher power of some sort. Are you going to call the beliefs of the billions of people who believe in a higher power woo? A higher power is an acceptable idea to believe, and it doesn't have to be categorized as woo. Numerology or synchronicity are consistent with the idea of a higher power. It doesn't have to be scientific to be true. I will definitely be making threads about this, and I will have a basis for my ideas, whether reasoning or otherwise.

It does not mean that the factors are not genetic if there are inconsistencies with the Asian population. The Asian IQ is a mere 5 point average higher than the white IQ, which doesn't seem like a big difference. Therefore it doesn't cause questions about the role in genetics to find inconsistencies in the Asian population, because of a small IQ gap. Consistencies are still present with the white and black populations.

Yes, I will definitely be making threads about this soon. They will go into much more detail and explanation. It's not that I lack logic. I haven't really fully explained my reasoning in detail yet. I am making threads about the topics soon, so it will show how and why there is a basis for what I am saying.

That's somewhat of the right context to be in.

The racism is only being used to insult someone, and it's okay to insult someone in a certain context.

You can only call what I am saying woo if I am pretending that what I am saying is science, which I am not. The term pseudoscience only applies when something that isn't science is being presented as science, when I am not doing that. I have stated that I am discussing a topic outside of the limit of science, but is still reasonable to discuss. Evidence can be used in a different context to show the validity of an idea without being rooted in scientific thought and still have a basis in reality, which is the point I am trying to make. It's not about small probabilities, it is about synchronicity that would have had a very small chance to occur without a higher power. I will be making a thread on this soon to explain more where this phenomena appears. A higher power can be described by it's effects on reality, but it is hard to describe exactly what the higher power itself is, without any other knowledge other than that the higher power has power over reality. I haven't explained myself yet, I have only explained that I have an explanation that I will and can explain. I will be making threads explaining synchronicity more, and discussing my reasoning behind a god. For now, I will only say that there is basis for my ideas, which I will be discussing in detail in those threads. And I wasn't referring to anecdotes as evidence for synchronicity, if you thought I was.

The gap is still significant even if it has been closed by 4 points. A gap of 10 points is still a large gap in IQ. The gap has only been closing as a result of the Flynn effect. What would be so different about the environments of African Americans than white Americans that could possibly lead to a 10 pint IQ difference? My quote does not highlight any non-consistent finding regarding Asians. The data consistently results in findings of races differing in IQ. Studies have consistently shown otherwise, in that environment is clearly not a factor.
