    If you object or can disprove anything I have posted then by all means do so and provide a viable link to a source.

    However....if you object or do not believe something I have posted and all you can muster is..."Do you know a screed from a scrod? Hint: that was a screed."...end quote taikoo.....well then perhaps you might not embarrass yourself pretending to know anything about what I am talking about.

    Your screed was sound enough.
    As for your response, tho-
    As irrelevant as all that is to what I asked, i guess you dont know a screed from a scrod. Unless you got out your dictionary.

    I know what it means.

    I will say it again....if you have an issue with anything I posted then point out what it is specifically.

    Making derogatory comments specific to how you view the manner I am posting as akin to a tirade....without providing the membership even a HINT of what specifically in my posts you are having issue with....only embarrasses you.

    You have run out of steam well before I ever will.

    This is gibberish.

    No we do not. Any such "knowledge" is merely an unverifiable extrapolation.

    Why would anyone bother doing what you haven't bothered to do?

    Good, you looked it up.

    I dont have "an issue" with anything you posted in this particular,
    if I did, I'd have said so.

    Why it should embarrass me, as you've now twice rather shabbily alluded to,
    to observe that you screed-style is over the top and childish may be clear to you, but probably not to anyone else.

    If you want to make it my problem, in your mind, that your bombastic ALL CAPS yelling
    is not a very good way to communicate, go for it. Some can take a hint, some
    are made of denser material.

    It is not Gibberish it is specific to the Inverse Square Law of Gravity.

    You see even though Mars has only 10% of Earth's Mass....one would think that on Earth a 100 Kilo person would weigh 1/10th this weight on Mars? But that person does not as they will weigh about 38 Kilos on Mars.

    The reason.....as I explained and you did not understand and called it gibberish....as part of my post you quoted as being gibberish is this...it would mean our current Gravitational Constant specific to creating a proportional increase in Gravitic attraction specific to an increase in Mass and diameter or center of Gravity of a Celestial Body

    What that means is our Gravitational Constant which is a PHYSICAL LAW OF OUR UNIVERSE....makes certain that Gravitational Effect of a Celestial Body upon it's surface or any object upon the surface or atmosphere is determined by the amount of mass of the celestial body....the celestial bodies diameter....and where is located that celestial bodies center of gravity and the distance from that center point of Gravity to it's planetary or other surface.

    You see if the Physical Laws of our Universe were to any extent majorly different 12 Billion Years ago compared to 4.5 Billion Years ago or now....then the constructs of Celestial Bodies as well as Galaxies through out our Universe would be different and much different compared to such much younger celestial bodies.

    Yes it is, because it's not even a complete thought.

    Enough of your incoherent rambling, already. One could have a more intelligent conversation with a dog as it howls at the moon.

    It's not my fault you don't have either the intelligence or perhaps the knowledge base to understand this and as I have stated if you can prove anything I have posted as being incorrect or false then by all means do so.

    If not....please stop trying to pretend to know what I have been posting about.

    You conveniently ignore some pretty important facts about Christ. I'm sure you accept eyewitness accounts of other major historical events, even preceding Christ. So, why not start with the eyewitness accounts - just like you would a UFO tale?

    You didnt address at all the facts mentioned, but instead go for the cheap rhetorical trick of diversion and playing tu quoque.

    but as for your retort...

    Next to nothing is actually known to be a fact about "christ"

    You are assuming that he was a major historical event / figure*.
    People invented the story after he was gone.

    UFO tale is a good comparison, really. Something extraordinary with absolutely no evidence other than that someone says he saw it. Start with the story, end with the story, there is nowhere else to go.

    *The Mormons assume that the whole gold book thing was an actual historical event.
    They have a list of eye witnesses, who signed and swore before god. The rchristians laugh at how naive and gullible; the rest of us look at both the same way.
    J Smith was just a worm, but look what his trick led to.



    JC wouldnt even recognize himself in the wild stories told.

    I am posting Scientific FACTS.

    You are just throwing around any possible insult as a way to distract others from the fact YOU HAVE YET TO COMMENT SPECIFICALLY UPON ANYTHING I HAVE POSTED DIRECTLY OR PROVIDE ANY PROOF THAT ANYTHING I HAVE POSTED IS INCORRECT.

    You have not done this...because you do not have the ability to disprove facts.

    For someone who keeps saying you have put me on IG...you sure seem to follow my posts intently.

    Again....you have proved both to the membership and to me that you cannot provide any proof that anything I have posted was incorrect.

    So since you can't do this you instead being frustrated simply insult me or the post....but you NEVER explain why or provide the membership this an alternative correct post.....as mine was a fact from the beginning.

    I believe that Christ existed....I just have not been provided adequate proof that Christ was the Son of GOD....nor has any GOD been proven to exist.

    Good flipping grief I wasnt even talking about you, genius. Let alone "keeps saying".

    I said i found no fault with the content, but only the over the top
    bombastic style.

    How many things can you get wrong out of a couple of sentences?

    Still dont see why I have him on ig?

    You did even notice I was supporting / agreeing with you in post 63?

    I thought I was a excitable sort!

    If you can keep from spilling it, how about a cup of tea? :D I make really good scones too.
    But not for just anybody. Get excited and spill tea, or get all mixed up again, and no scones.

    Oh, may I call you Beyondo?

    My replies to you have been more about the screed or scrod statements.

    You seem to relish your passive aggressive nature which usually is a sign of a person who must confront or argue issues or people due to a deep seated need to feel important or intelligent or have others also think this way about them.

    I have just been posting the FACTS.

    Thus since you have admitted there has been nothing I have posted that you know to be wrong and as well have stated my posts to be sound.....why would you want to call me Beyondo?

    Do you know why I called you Haiku?

    A strongman, a professor, a genius, a gunman,an agent privy to super top secret stuff, and, now, a tele-psychiatrist!

    You only post facts? :D

    What does your need to try to convince everyone you are so wonderful say about you?

    Im not passive aggressive, I just dont like or trust men. Or loud-mouth braggarts.

    If you are none of that then fine.

    "Haiku" is Japanese. Im not.

    Matters not that it is Japanese....I call you Haiku because anyway one looks at the 575 pattern...it's ODD. If a person was to add up all three numbers...17...ODD....Add the two 5's to get 10 and either subtract or add the 7....still ODD....so I think you get the picture.

    By the way....it's kind of hard to know if a person is a Loud Mouth by reading a post and cap locks is only specific for emphasis as far as I am concerned and any issue you have with that is yours and yours alone.

    I think it is absolutely HYSTERICAL that you would label me a BRAGGART...just because I happen to know a few things in many fields and since you have not been able to this date post any corrections to my posts....then I think it is safe to assume I know what I am talking about.

    Whatever feelings of inadequacy you are having to make you post as you have and concentrate to such a great extent upon everything I post.....IS YOUR HANGUP NOT MINE.

    I just post about things I happen to know.

    The Jewish sages covered that in the 1300s.. if science contradicts scripture.. science wins. Its a non issue.

    Tell that to an Orthodox Jew or a Born Again Christian.

    They think Science is the Devils Method.
