And there you have it. A link was provided. Actually many. http://politicalforum.com/index.php...-of-the-human-species.506866/#post-1067597359 and no reply from our resident . . . . Will I ever learn? BTW I received my latest issue if Science magazine. Not News or Digest, just Science. Ronstar DEAR try Science, 356:6341, 2 June 2017, page 894 for the original article. Please let me know what part of the article or any referenced article you disagree. Or Troll On as you chose.Witness all, requests for links are rarely sincere Moi r > g Ativism Happens
Actually I don't know why evolutionists think Christians are against them, as most modern Christians nowadays fully accept that evolution happens as animals adapt to survive! BUT Christians go one step further and say that creatures are too perfect to have evolved by themselves, and that a 'Master Geneticist/Designer' (God) must have tweaked evolution at certain times to keep it on track. I mean, creatures as beautiful and perfect as this can only have been created by a brilliant Designer..-
What's interesting to me is over 300,000 years...how much has mankind actually evolved? Through discoveries, technology, innovation, etc. this has afforded mankind the tools to perform/produce at breakneck levels today. But, how many people today are not much more than Neanderthals in contemporary clothing?
The irony is that the episode is about how some people will do anything to support their superstitions even in the face of scientific evidence.
OP So homosapiens are 100,000 years older than the 'experts' (note inverted commas?) thought - so effing what!!!!! Anyhoo they've been wrong many times before, and they'll be wrong many times in the future. Meanwhile they're on a nice little earner, and good luck to 'em say I. Wish that I were one of them.
It was only the boneheaded blacksmith and his dumb friends who were scared of Data; he was generally well received by the rest of the village community. Likewise, the bonehead Jewish priests and their lackeys are the ones who killed Jesus.
They've been wrong and THEY are the Only. ones to enlighten us and Correct it. Unlike Genesis, written by science-ignorant clowns, which has Always been Wrong. `
Until she dies from any number of things that your "creator" couldn't immunize her against, and becomes fertilizer.
Sure, our bodies die but then we get brand-new spiritual bodies, it's the final step in human evolution when we transcend from squishy fleshy bodies into purely spiritual life-forms..- "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable...it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.. flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor 15:42-50) Jesus said- "All in the graves shall come out.."(John 5:28/29) BOIIING!-
The Earth is a testing ground mate.. "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life.." (James 1:12) "I want your D.O.R. boy!" How about it Bob?- "Take the pain! TAKE THE PAIN"
Disagree. We are spiritual beings trapped involuntarily in a physical world by a petulant demiurge. The petulant demiurge referenced is termed God by those who do not know. To know, gnostic, is truth.
But if God wanted us to stay trapped, why did he send Jesus to bust us out?.. In the film "Escape from Alcatraz", Clint Eastwood blows the socks off his convict pals when he coolly announces "I think I know a way outta here", and naturally they're all ears and eagerly want to hear his plan because none of them is dumb enough to say "Nah, not interested!" Yet amazingly that's what some people say to Jesus! Here we are trapped in this prison we call a world, but Jesus tells us- "God has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners...to release the oppressed" (Luke 4:18 )
In a word, BS Say, why would you post in this thread at all? Just to be obnoxious? We don't bother you when you're rolling bones on the floor. Post in the religion section.
Depends on what you believe. All I believe about Jesus is he happened in the flesh. And that is all. Buddha happened too. So what. Both had profound cultural influences. Moi. We are spiritual beings involuntarily held in a physical existence for the amusement of a petulant demiurge. And maybe he cruelly practices reincarnation. BTW I do have some level of clairvoyance and know some much, much stronger. Christians tell me they are messages from the devil although mostly it was about a patient's diagnosis and ordering tests to confirm what "I knew". Hardly the doings of Satan. Gnosticism, Carl Jung helped because at one time it got too freaky for me to be comfortable. I agree with Tolstoy, "Priest keep man apart from God". And likewise the Bible & Jesus said. So a Jesus said reference or quote from the Old Testament are amusing but, of reference value to Moi. Thank you. & Best Wishes.
It's not my fault if some atheist posters in this thread mentioned religion and needed to be corrected, so I'm simply being a good samaritan and rescuing them..
We're in the middle of a heatwave here in Britain so I'm too hot to bother looking up what 'disingenuous' means in the dictionary. All I know is that science and the Bible are a 'Dynamic Duo' that overlap to a considerable extent. For example this thread is titled- Scientists Find Oldest Known Specimens of the Human Species and as I mentioned earlier, time is stretchy and elastic (Einstein said so, and so does the bible), so it might not be possible to date ancient artifacts and bones precisely, because time may have run at different speeds at certain periods of earth history. Oops sorry was I rambling?..
1- Jesus is the Son of God himself. Buddha and Mohammed and other spiritual leaders are in graves, but Jesus is not, spot the difference?.. 2- Clairvoyant messages might be a way that Satan tries to get inside our skulls, so be very careful, he's a great trickster and usually can't get in unless he's invited in..- "...for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." (2 Cor 11:13/14)
So you believe . We disagree. Give Gnosticism a chance. Try the Gospel of Thomas, the oldest authenticated manuscript of the gospel writings. These Christians believe the resurrection was spiritual, not corporal. <Burn them> They were further away from dem Greeks and their influence and Greek body myths. They were in Egypt. Their influence on Christianity was pretty well nullified at the Christian Council of Nicea 325 run by Byzantines Greeks. It wasn't like they were Cathars. The Gnostic Christians were a pretty academic group. Give Gnosticism a chance.
time may have run at different speeds at certain periods of earth history? That heat wave appears to be affecting you more than you know. BTW, CSgt Boume wouldn't put up with such nonsense despite the heat. (shame 'bout evans - brilliant tenor.)
1- you know of course that time runs slower for us if we're standing near a pyramid or mountain? In fact there are Biblical examples of the sun standing still in the sky, and another time it actually went backwards, how kool is that? The fascinating question therefore arises whether the sun itself stopped and shunted backwards, or whether the earth stopped rotating and reversed. PS- The sci-fi film 'Interstellar' touches on the fluidity of time, for example several of the crew shuttle down to a planet leaving one crewman aboard the mothership to mind the shop. They return to the ship later after an hour or two to find he's aged 23 years and has been alone all that time because they underestimated the massive effects of a nearby black hole. 2- Bourne (played by Nigel Green in my avatar) quotes the Bible in one scene- "the Lord of Hosts is with us"...
1. No, I didn't know that. OTOH I am aware of both relative velocity and gravitational dilation. The sun stopped and shunted backwards? Oh right you mean because the massively ignorant biblical story tellers had no clue that the earth revolved around the sun and not vice versa. As to the earth stopping its rotation and reversing - you might want to take a course or two in physics and pay particular attention to the conservation of angular momentum. (2. Mispelled, sorry. One of my favorite movies.)
Well I got College of Preceptors exam passes in General Science and Advanced Science in the 1960's and went on to work in labs, so naturally the Bible's phenomena arouses my scientific curiosity and it's FUN to speculate.. For example did the sun or earth really stop and go into reverse, or perhaps it was just some kind of quantum illusion or something? "The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts"- Prof. Werner Heisenberg (Nobel Prize winner in Physics)
