Surely you mean " Laus Deo"?  |

If Rex_Tremendae's language is Arabic, it's the equivalent to saying 'God is Great' in English..

“I am a Catholic not like someone else would be a Baptist or a Methodist, but like someone else would be an atheist.” - Flannery O'Connor
Then again I asked him, "supposing the Pope looked up and saw a cloud and said 'It's going to rain', would that be bound to happen?"
"Oh, yes, Father."
"But supposing it didn't?"
He thought a moment and said, "I suppose it would be sort of raining spiritually, only we were too sinful to see it."

Indeed it is; I simply thought that he was using that phrase, which is usually associated with Islam, for what he perceived as lack of an equivalent in Latin. |

I thought you might have been implying he was Muslim simply because he spoke Arabic. But 'laus Deo' indeed. Gloria, laus et honor!  |

That's pretty funny... the strangest thing in the universe is.... the universe LOL.
Refreshing to see scientists admit they really haven't a clue about pretty much everything.

"It is questionable whether the proper functions of Catholics is to hunt down, "expose" and condemn Catholics they suspect of undue rigidity, disobedience or "material schism"; especially while giving support to a Vatican ecumenical campaign which addresses heretics and actual Schismatics as "separated brethren", Jews as "people of the covenant" and Muslims as "people of God". This is part of the overall contradiction (or inconsistency) that permeates the "conservative" mentality. Cloaked in a pledged loyalty to all things "whatsoever" emanating from the Holy See, many "conservatives" will go beyond the measures taken by the Church leaders, or even disagree with their actual positions. The Hawaii "excommunications" were an obvious example but others can be seen. "Conservatives" denounce as "Schismatic" all those who set foot in SSPX chapels while the Vatican embraces the Schismatics in China. "Conservatives" deny any significant change at the Second Vatican Council while the Pope celebrates the enormity and impact of the changes. "Conservatives" seek the conversion of the Eastern "Orthodox" while the Vatican promises not to "proselytize" them. "Conservatives" deride American bishops while the Pope appoints and promotes the same ones." -Peter Miller "Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil." - H.

Their problem seems to be they are using 19th century models and the findings of 21st century empirical observation and quantum mechanics just don't fit. So they get desperate and invent concepts like "dark matter" and "dark energy" to make the equations balance... never mind no one can detect it in any way... it's gotta be there! And they accuse us of a "god of the gaps"  |

The first entry suggested that the universe was 150 billion light years across in a 13.5 billion year old universe. How did it expand that fast from a single point (big bang) without stuff going 6 times the speed of light?
Which according to the scientific establishment is impossible.
