Hey, a testable prediction! Can you give us an estimate of when exactly you think Moloch's self-destruction will close in on him? I'd like to check it for accuracy.
Questions such as this one sometimes require observation over a few generations to decisively answer.
I'm happy for BADecker to claim a confidence interval for his claim. Otherwise it's just so much hot air.
Consider Revelation 9:6
That's not actually a confidence interval for a time period. You've answered a request for data with a wall of text I'm sure some found interesting, but I wanted data so I could design an experiment that would test your claim.
Can you provide that data?
Can't do it. Jesus says that nobody knows.
Other than that, when checking the gravestones for length of life, most people don't make it to more than a hundred years. So, come back in a hundred years and we can take it from there.
Of course, science might find a way to extend life indefinitely. And aside from getting hit by a Mack truck, Moloch might live for a long time if the anti-aging actually works. So come back after science implements anti-aging that extends life indefinitely, and we can take it from there.
If the judgment day comes first, you won't be able to use data or statistics anyway.
That's a shame.
Of course, if you don't know, then you can't say that he's headed for "self destruction", can you? I guess you could say "in my opinion, that is self destructive behaviour" but you can't make any claim stronger than that, right?
