Join Aaron and Anthony to find out if it's true that talking about theology, technology and politics really can be interesting. comments@vagabondloafers.com Religion & Spirituality Christianity no jesus,java,ruby,programming,firearms,technology,books,literature,preaching,family,typo,ajax copyright 2007 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 03:24:45 -0800 http://www.vagabondloafers.com/files/vl-006-no-pipes.m4a Anthony Martin & Aaron Jackson No Pipes We don’t have pipes, so we didn’t have any place to “stuff it.” * Smoking ban o This essay, the culmination of four years of research.

We talked about this subject back in Episode 002, and this is a response (mostly by Aaron (what else is new?)), to Fellowship and Frivolity. But it’s been so long, likely nobody remembers even what was even said.

We recorded late, and the recording went really long. Then the audio software kept messing up when I'd try to edit it. So here's a compromise. I started an "A La Carte" version that contains only a single topic of discussion. This time, it's roughly centered around The Constitution. Taking this approach might allow me to edit the episode too. There was a lot of good stuff, and we didn't want to lose any of it. But the episode would have been two hours, and that's just too long for Garage Band, apparently. Actually, I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong there. So here, Aaron and I discuss the relevance of The Constitution as it relates to practical problems in the globalized society. 1 jesus,java,ruby,programming,firearms,technology,books,literature,preaching,family,typo,ajax Sat, 22 Sep 2007 20:20:15 -0700 http://www.vagabondloafers.com/files/vl-003-sock-a-bye-baby.m4a Anthony Martin & Aaron Jackson Sock-A-Bye-Baby * Theology: o Ken Ham DVD #2 + Slippery slope: “If we don’t believe in 6 literal days, we actually open the door to the collapse of Christian Morality in our nation.” + Postulation: You don’t get “millions of years” from reading the Bible alone. (Anthony ask, Do you get “molecules and atoms” from reading the Bible alone? The idea that we are all just big molecular machines undermines the bible, so do we throw out the idea of molecules and atoms due to the theory of the molecular machines notion?) # Ergo: It’s obvious that God created everything in 6 literal days. This proves that there is something wrong with man’s theories. # Even if this is incorrect, we can still conclude that there is something wrong with man’s theories. In fact, this is a self enforcing statement. + The Gap Theory # So when did the angelic rebellion happen? * After the account described in Job 38:4-7 # Ham: No death before sin proves there was no gap. + Ham: “In a sense, I’m not interpreting [Genesis] literally, I’m just reading it as it is.” + No thorns before sin? Thorns were a consequence of sin? How did that work exactly? # Ham says there was no death before sin. He cites: * Genesis 1:29–30 (Ham “proves” there was no death) * Genesis 2:16-17 (I say “knowledge of good and evil” is different from “good and evil”) # Ham says a Gapist doesn’t believe the complete and literal 6 day creation account. # Ham doesn’t believe in six day creation account either. He says that after God was finished with creation He went ahead and created the thorns on the roses after the fall. # If there was no sin before mankind fell, did the serpent sin by tempting Adam and Eve? Say Adam and Eve resisted the temptation instead of succumbing to it, did the serpent sin in this act alone? * Doesn’t this prove sin existed before mankind fell? * Programming/Technology: o Inform + Download App + Download Anthony’s Sandbox o Update On Aaron’s Java Progress: None o Zhorn Software: Bart * Podcast Digest: o The Sitter Downers (Diet Western Short): + Loafer Feedback Policy: whatever man + Should a Christian’s goal be to get to (i.e. strive for) heaven? * Next Time On Vagabond Loafers: o The Book of King Solomon by Ahimaaz, Court Historian 3996 jesus,java,ruby,programming,firearms,technology,books,literature,preaching,family,typo,ajax Sun, 09 Sep 2007 07:12:07 -0700 http://www.vagabondloafers.com/files/vl-002-three-missing-links.m4a Anthony Martin & Aaron Jackson Three Missing Links * Theology: o Ken Ham DVD #1 * Programming/Technology: o Jakarta o PeepCode o iPod Updates * Politics: o Ron Paul/Fred Thompson * Next Time On Vagabond Loafers: o Ken Ham DVD #2 o Inform 3655 jesus,java,ruby,programming,firearms,technology,books,literature,preaching,family,typo,ajax Sat, 01 Sep 2007 01:18:03 -0700 http://www.vagabondloafers.com/files/vl-001-a-ducking-we-will-go.m4a Anthony Martin & Aaron Jackson A Ducking We Will Go Theology: Mother Teresa’s Crisis Of Faith Programming/Technology: Learning to program Java using Murach’s Java SE 2 IDE Tutorials (Eclipse, NetBeans, BlueJ) Student Materials (Projects, Study Aids) Teacher Materials (Solutions To Student Projects, PowerPoint Etc.) My First Idea For A Program, And Its Failure Java is great. Why? It is a “statically typed” language. Statically typed languages catch certain kinds of bugs earlier, so they are easier to learn. Ruby is better. Why? It is a “dynamically typed” language. Dynamically typed are easier to develop in once you know how to code proficiently. Let’s Discuss “Duck Typing” Because Ruby is dynamically typed, it is easy to promote duck typing. Any dynamically typed language can get you there. Why is it called “Duck Typing?” Guess. Only one of these is true (listen and find out): “If it walks like a duck, and QUACKS like a duck, it must be a duck.” “It’s actually a Monty Python reference, and it implies that dynamically typed languages are witchcraft.” Podcast Digest The Sitter Downers – Episode: Trilogy TSD – An Eye For An Eye (Justice vs. Revenge) TSD – Parental Culpability For Child Crime TSD – The Origin Of Sin In Man (Which Comes First, Heart Or Action) Google Fight: "Ron Paul" (2,030,000) vs. “Hillary Clinton” (5,550,000) Miss South Carolina (639,000) vs. “Larry Craig” (2,090,000) Next Time On Vagabond Loafers: Jakarta PeepCode More About Ron! 3855 jesus,java,ruby,programming,firearms,technology,books,literature,preaching,family,typo,ajax
