    Frankly.... near death experiencer Kevin Williams has written a brilliant article that
    could help us to see the Artistic value in the Koran.... and other Islamic prophecies and / or prostephies......

    Near death experiencers are still human... .and can understand their
    out of body experience in such a way that they become authoritarian.......
    controlling....... or even advocates of genocide... to people who do not
    accept them as prophets.........

    Only a FOOL does not question!!!!!

    ONLY FOOLS!!!!

    The concept of not questioning one's reality and not questioning a man made belief system or religion is also a man made idiocy and idea that was created and written by MEN who desired POWER AND CONTROL!!!!!

    Only fools and idiots refuse to question!!!!

    If there is a GOD and the word GOD can mean many things...and it is a HUGE IF.....but IF a GOD exists.....such a GOD certainly would not want people to refuse to question their reality and refuse to question everything!!

    Hm. Well. I think that if I had one question to ask God, I'd ask Him why men have nipples. There's likely a better question but that's what I have right this second.

    Men have nipples because there is a very fine line between males and females!!

    Just a hormone here and there and BAM.....man or woman!! LOL!!

    Yeah the ONLY thing I worry about as far as smiting is if some insane terrorist group get's a hold of an old Soviet Biological Weapon like Engineered Small Pox!!

    As far as some GOD.....highly unlikely in the extreme.

    1 chance in 10^178th.

    That is 1 chance in a 10 with 178 zero's after it.

    A Statistical Impossibility exists at only 1 chance in 10^150th!!

    LOL!!!

    True..... although I regard the writings of the Apostle Paul as
    quite brilliant..... and yes, inspired....... he was human and was
    affected by his culture...... and the fact that he was a Rabbinic
    Jew...... and so his ideas on the status of women are arguably
    very different from those of Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus.

    I would ask Him/Her, "If you are all powerful, and since you have demonstrated Your ability to feed folks in the desert, why do You let children starve?"

    Based on the biblical stories God would reply: "You can eat them when I don't give you manna from heaven".

    I'm reading "The Mystery of the Shemitah" by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn right now......
    and frankly.... a lot of questions have been popping into my mind as to how
    exactly eating habits would differ during the seventh year land Sabbath of Judaism.....
    and especially during the Jubilee year??????

    Was the plan to put Jews on somewhat more of a high protein diet during the land Sabbath years?

    Moses and King Solomon were two very bright people....
    and I really do believe that there are logical answers to that
    that actually would make sense......

    http://www.politicalforum.com/economics-trade/428423-moses-moshe-brilliant-economist.html

    Was Moses - Moshe a brilliant economist?
    Is the following statement one of the most accurate ideas regarding what we human beings are actually capable of IF..............we can actually agree on the need for a particular project?


    "And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11)
    Ecclesiastes 10:19


    "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. "

    OK.....in order to find the probability of an event you would have to first calculate all the possible combinations and in this case since there are a huge number of these we must estimate within a plus or minus of 2.5%. When calculating the probability of an event occurring you take the formula number of favorable outcomes over the number of total outcomes.

    There are mainly 3 definitions of probability

    Theoretical or classical definition of probability.

    Empirical or Statistical definition of probability

    Axiomatic definition of probability.

    Theoretical or classical definition of probability

    Let a random experiment produce only a finite number of mutually exclusive and equally likely outcomes. Then the probability of an event A is defined as
    P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes to A/ Total number of outcomes
    Theoretical probability is also known as Classical or A Priori probability. Classical probability is also known as statistical probability.

    Example: -
    Consider the experiment of tossing a coin.What is the probability of getting a tail?

    Solution: -
    We know that the probability of an event A is given by
    P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes to A/ Total number of outcomes
    The Sample space of the experiment of tossing a coin is given by,
    S = {Head, Tail}
    Number of favorable outcomes to tail = 1
    Total number of outcomes = 2
    So P(getting a tail) = 1/2

    Empirical definition of probability

    Let A be an event of a random experiment.
    Let the experiment be repeated n number of times out of which A occurs f
    times. Then f/n is called frequency ratio. The limiting value of the
    frequency ratio as the number of repetitions becomes infinitely large is called
    probability of the event A.

    It is sometimes known as experimental probability also.

    Example: -
    The following below shows the number of heads appearing when 8 coins are tossed.
    x; 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    f: 1 9 26 59 72 52 26 7 1
    Find the probability of getting heads
    (i) less than 4
    (ii)equal to 5
    (iii) more than 6
    Solution: -
    Here total number of heads = 1 + 9 + 26 + 59 + 72 + 52 + 26 + 7 + 1 = 253
    (i) We have to find the probability of getting heads less than 4.
    There are 1 + 9 + 26 + 59 = 95 cases in which there are less than 4 heads.
    Therefore P(heads less than 4) = 95/253 = 0.37
    (ii) We have to find the probability of getting heads equal to 5.
    There are 52 cases in which there are 5 heads.
    Therefore P(heads equal to 5) = 52/253 = 0.21
    (iii) We have to find the probability of getting more than 6 heads.
    There are 7 + 1 = 8 cases in which there are more than 6 heads.
    Therefore P(heads more than 6) = 8/253 = 0.03

    Axiomatic definition of probability
    Let S be the sample space of a random experiment.
    Let A be an event of a random experiment.
    According to this definition Probability of an event is a real number which
    satisfies 3 axioms.
    (i) Axiom 1:p(A) ≥ 0
    (ii) Axiom 2 :p(S) = 1
    (iii) Axiom 3: P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) where A and B are disjoint events
    Therefore P(A) is a real valued, non negative, totally additive set function. Therefore P(A) is a measure and it is the probability of A.

    Axiomatic definition is usually not used to work out problems.

    Got it?

    Funny enough......in Buffon's Needle experiment you can drop a needle on a lined sheet of paper. If you keep track of how many times the needle lands on a line, it turns out to be directly related to the value of Pi.

    Whoever studies these things found that pi is a factor in the dimensions of bases of the great pyramids. Why? They used a wheel to make measurements.
