Its those who 'understand' that are so sure the earth must be about 6000 years from Genesis, the time of Noah and the times Jesus was said to have walked the earth. I'm not the interpreter here. Meanwhile other Christians have a variety of different views. What do you think?

The problem with most Christians is that they take things too literal. When the Bible says God created the earth and everything in 6 days, it most definitely wasnt talking about 6 24 hour periods. E.g God said Adam would die IN THE DAY that he eats from the the tree. Did Adam die that day(even though he lived for 930 years)? YES. Because, At 2 Peter 3:8, The Bible says that A THOUSAND YEARS is like a Day For God (Take Note). Somewhere at Numbers, God calculated his day as thus: A DAY FOR A YEAR. My Point is, God chooses his own timescale...So we can not rightly do OUR OWN CALCULATIONS and say that the earth is 6000 years old.

Again, there are factors that the Bible didnt give. Stuff Like, were there TIME INTERVALS BETWEEN the creative days?

Consider: Office Workers usually work for 5 days a week, 20 days a month. But, how many days are there in a month? 30. The other 10 days are TIME INTERVALS between workdays. The Bible gives no indication as to whether the 6 days were consecutive.

So, Lets say the first Creative Day was a thousand years long. how much time was inbetween the first Creative day and the second? A thousand? Two thousand? Ten Million? or None At all? The Bible does not say....Therefore, it'll be naive to say the earth is 6000 years old based on literal interpretations of the Bible without having all the facts. The Earth may be 4.5 Billion years old...The Bible does not argue that...

Dont Misinterpret/MisQuote The Bible...Cheers

Well in my opinion, God created time and stepped out of it, so that He can control time!

I believe God exists and I believe in His son Jesus christ our Lord. The thing about believing in God is, when you pass on and realise there is no God, no wahala. On the other hand, when you realise there is a God and you never believed in Him and His Son... YOU'RE SCREWED.

"God created time and stepped out of it". Hei! Hei!

"Eternal Nothing". Person who made that statement Needs slap. everyone is now a scientist

ValentineMary:
Time is a man made factor used to measure events. Now using a man made factor to explain an imaginary being is faulty.

Now back to the trend. Time is an amazing factor that is quite unique because as Albert Einstein said "The only constant factor is light speed. Not even time is constant". According to general relativity, gravity bends space time around it. That is to say bodies are drawn to larger bodies that SLOW down time. Would that mean another organism that stays in another galaxy (if there is) would have a different God with a different time origin

I can't quite get the connection between your "Time Dilation" ish and the topic. Gravity is everywhere there's matter... Which is everywhere

zeemahn:
But I thought the earth was about 6000 years old. And in the bible, the earth and the universe were created within the same period of time. But this article is talking in billions of years.

And...which of the about 6000 gods do you think created the world?

Was it really necessary to create? especially when things have a potential of going wrong...I will prefer not to exist than to exist and suffer.

I have spoken (or typed ) my mind.

Educate me.

Is that what the Bible says? Don't conclude when you don't understand

KingEtienneSky:
... WHAT'S THIS ONE SAYING? The presence of heavier elements which are only made in the final stages of a big star, in our sun is clear evidence of what?

"statistically reasonable to expect... " your words exactly. Now define faith

KingEtienneSky:
With the above process repeated many billions of times it would be only statistically reasonable to expect that many planets would have similar characteristics, and would be capable of supporting life of one form or another, just as our planet does...

Evidence of Faith in science... Good

i never said i was joking mr

You showed

dipznano:
Sir, you are very confused, in fact too confused for my liking. As time gradually passes down the 21st century you still choose ignorance over knowledge? It would be a shame if you studied anything close to physics at any point in time, because u must av learned a few things about satellites (geostationary and polar to be precise) and der functions... if not read up (Google is ur buddy)

About gravity, find ur way to the top of a very tall building, now step off.
Good! We all await ur own theory from the after life #adios

About, gravity....dont judge him. It's the most misunderstood phenomenon in our universe.

I have travelled through space and time and i say this, I dont want this galaxy to merge with andomeda, there are aliens on that galaxy that would do harm to your galaxy.

I know this because they have attacked other small galaxies in the past including my own galaxy. Which is why i came to reside in the milky way and chose earth as my home

Suicide or Murder? Why blood stain if its truly suicide

The blood stain is not really the problem... It's possible

Maisuya1:
I am no detective but that looks more of a homicide to me than suicide...

Exactly. That ain't suicide. The positioning says it all

johnydon22:
so anything not written in the bible is nonsense to you?

This exactly when religious beliefs becomes dangerous, it diminishes our youths and mars our intellectual evolution keeping Africa in sheepish ignorance that even the whites who brought these religions here have abandoned it.

well i don't see "Phone" in the bible why are you using one, drop the ancient book and pick up educating books this is the 21st century not a bronze age period.

You just had to spoil this thread abi? The Bible was completed ages ago, but it's info is modern... Your reasoning is why it took scientists time more than necessary to find the shape and other facts about the earth.... They rejected the Bible.

I love science.... I am a thinker.... But I never discredit the Bible

Show my the doc that states that mysql uses one connection pool.

If u understand connection pooling, you wouldn't even ask that question. I also give up on the thread. Go on with php and mysql

guru01:
This is a fat lie, mysql can handle multiple connection to same data. Please read about mysql properly.

Did he say anything against that? This guy sef... He only told you how the multiple connections are handled... IN A DARN CONNECTION POOL

sleepingdemon:
mysql uses one connection pool, so if you have 10 users launching your app at the same time, and the 10 isers need to run 100 queries each, mysql lines up the 1000 queries from the 10 users and executes them one after the other.
that said, the 10th user gets his data last and slower. now apply that logic to 1 million users running a query that searches a mysql database of over 40tb of data....
why do you think even mysql enginners wont tell you its scalable, rather they would optimize indexes for faster search time and at the worst, they master - slave replication, which is almost the same thing as data sharding which i mentioned.
i hope this gives u a bit more insight to your understanding.

Bros, leave him. I don't think he wants to learn. Let him do his PHP and MYSQL. even Rasmus will chuckle at him

guru01:
My brother leave all these English for British.
The only reason your Php app is slow is due to your logic, and also because Php is not a strict language.
If you write Php the way you write your c++ you will notice improvement.
Beside this is just a start, there is always room for other languages.

You see, this is one problem with some people who know only 1 or 2 languages of the same type. They never listen. I was like this about 7 years ago.

The best PHP (or an interpreted language) code of an app will ALWAYS RUN TONS OF MAGNITUDE SLOWER than the best c++ (or any compiled language).

If you read my post you'd notice that my PHP framework clocks at about 1,300 rps which makes it one of the fastest PHP frameworks ever.

Why are Facebook transpiling their PHP. codes to intermediate byte code if running PHP is good enough.


Please write a simple application that prints the first 10000 numbers of the fibonacci series in PHP and any of the languages I listed before say JAVA and run a benchmark. The PHP script may even run out of memory .

guru01:
How do you know that PHP is not powerful enough for this task?

The very first rule in developing an app is: CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOL(S) FOR THE JOB. In choosing "THE RIGHT TOOLS", you look at performance, scalabilty, ease of development and others

PHP has been my first choice language for close to a decade now, but TBT its only REALLY good at making websites and some web apps.
Last Year i wrote an eCommerce application with my HIGHLY DECOUPLED PHP framework (a "HELLO WORLD" benchmark gives about 1,300 rps). Benchmarks showed that it ran at about 250rps (Opencart runs at about 60rps). But it starts dropping requests when there are above 500 concurrent users.

I rewrote the same application with GOLANG and it handles over 5 million concurrent requests with breeze at about 6,500 requests per second with less than 15MB or RAM.

The Point? In a PERFORMANCE CRITICAL Application, PHP will fall your hands....It was designed for just short-lived webpages. Here are some reasons why PHP is not suitable for PERFORMANCE CRITICAL APPLICATIONS

1. Blocking I/O
2. No Parallel Processing out of the box
3. No Multi-threading out of the box.
4. Not Suitable for background Tasks (Remember your crawler)
5. Most probably used with Apache which spins up a thread for every request
6. Dies after every request
7. Not good for Computationally Intensive tasks (i.e Search engine analytic, ranking system, etc)
8. Not Memory Efficient
9. Extremely Poor Concurrency Model

In designing and developing your application, NEVER EVER LET THE DEVELOPMENT LANGUAGE IMPLEMENTATION BE YOUR BOTTLENECK...THAT PROBLEM SHOULD BE YOUR DB IMPLEMENTATION.

Should you use PHP now until you have performance or scalability issues? ABSOLUTELY NOT. By the time you get to that problem, you'll have had a huge PHP code-base which would make transitioning to another language NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. If you think i'm lying, ASK FACEBOOK.

JAVA is good (except for the JVM being resource-hungry)
GOLANG has its Limitations but its good
RUST is a new kid on the block, but is EXCEPTIONAL
JULIA,
SCALA (JVM Problem again)
HASKELL
C/C++

One of these could be used in combination with any of the following:
Python
Nodejs (Not a language, but an execution environment)
LUA, etc

sleepingdemon:
i'm just here waiting for google to move on to swift so i dont have to hear the name JAVA all the time. i slightly hate that language.

on Android alone, you mean?

sleepingdemon:
in all of this, that guy that asked you to use golang, i need to flog him very hard. ehen, that advice on java is still fair, on the other hand, what do i know, just in case you're more comfy with php, you can use mongodb as your database instead, when the app outgrows php, you can move to another lang. or if ure a javascript person, mean stack is actually useful.

What do you know about golang? Java is fair but golang is not? Jeez!!

dhtml18:
^^^Santa maria! I actually invested his server and smelled out php/mysql. . . . .to my greatest surprise!!

You wicked sha

My guess is that you are using a LAMP stack for this search NG. That's like swallowing a timed explosive.

You want to do it right, do It right.... You need a language that can handle concurrency with breeze. Someone said Nodejs. I wouldn't advice that. By default, it doesn't use all the cores of your server.

Spring up something with Golang (go routines and channels are the bomb), Rust, even JAVA.

UNLESS ITS A SCHOOL PROJECT, JUST DITCH PHP.

Missy89:
So what makes the mossad better than the agency?

A nation like Israel surrounded by enemies needs to have an excellent Security Agency lest their neighbours decimate their population. Israel is probably the most under threat nation in the world. But the Mossad is too darn good that's why they're still breathing.

Again, the finest counter terrorism operations in modern history have been carried out by Mossad. Operation Entebbe, operation wrath of God and the likes.

They are so good, they help the CIA. There are stories that they warned the CIA about an attack prior to 9/11

GuyfawkesAB:
Thank God you said "arguably the most trained..."

Some of the most daring raids of amy special forces in history has been undertaken by Shayetet 13 (Israeli) and SAS (British). Meanwhile the Russian Spetnaz should earned the title of the most rigorously trained. (they virtually turn them to something inhuman)

"arguably" means he can back it up with evidence, not that it is up for argument. That said, the best trained are the British SAS and the US Navy SEALS

ERONX:
No one messes with the USA and goes free they've got the best Military strike force and security agency in the world

Best Military? Yes!
Best Security Agency? No!

Lemme hear you say MOSSAD

Osama is still alive... Dont get decieve by USA. Osama is a CIA member.. Bin laden family and bush family are allies this is just a common sense war against muslims. They declare Osama dead because they want approval to enter libya.

Even if they are allies, you think the USA would allow such a liability to remain alive? Use your 06
