God does know all, the weathermen don't know squat.  You have to test the waters you know before you find out how people will react. Of course, it's all the woman's fault, you know. |
Thinking outside the box, and throwing in science here...
If the man is XY and the woman is XX, does that mean the "X" is responsible?

I will add the following -
Science tells us that the spinning ball called planet Earth is slowing down. When and how did it get started? Does anyone really know?
| Quote: | "The Geophysical Effects of the Earth's Slowing Rotation!"
Did the fast spinning Earth have a ring around it when it was very young?
While we know the Earth's rotation is slowing that is not the main reason why the extra "Leap Second" was added by our official time keepers this year. The reason for adding a leap second is that the planet does not rotate exactly once every 24 hours (86,400 seconds). The rotation actually takes 86,400.002 seconds so that each day this little difference builds up between the atomic clock and the earth's rotation. When the difference builds up enough (.9 seconds), the time keepers must add another second (leap second) to keep the stars location, relative to the planet's rotation, in exact sync with the superaccurate atomic clocks.
The Earth's rotation is slowing but at a much slower rate than 1 leap second every so many years. The length of time it takes the Earth, at the present time, to rotate once is 86,400.002 seconds compared to 86,400 seconds back in 1820. The rotation has slowed roughly only by 2 milliseconds since 1820. That seems like an insignificant amount of time BUT over the course of the planet's entire lifetime, it has had very profound effects on the geophysics of the planet.
It has caused mountains to rise, earthquakes, etc. to occur as we will see. This article is about, factoring in the tremendous geophysical activity that was caused, by the Earth's slowing rotation, in the interior of the planet, its crust, oceans and atmosphere over its entire lifetime.
The Sub-bureau for Rapid Service and Predictions of Earth Orientation Parameters of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), located at the US Naval Observatory, monitors the Earth's rotation. Part of its mission involves the determination of a time scale based on the current rate of the rotation of the Earth. They estimate that the Earth's rotation is slowing at about 1.4 milliseconds per solar day per century which roughly agrees with the rate of rotation of the Earth has actually slowed down since 1820.
Tracing these tiny milliseconds back for 4.5 billion years adds up to a very significant amount of time for a solar day. The author has determined that the day/night rotation was 63,000 seconds shorter than the present 86,400 seconds it is today. This would put the Earth's rotation at about 6.5 hours per day/night cycle, when it was created, 4.5 billion years ago. (This is a much faster rate of rotation than the Cassini-Huygens mission (2003 to 2004) determined Saturn's 10.5 hours rotation period to be.)
This rate of rotation would have exerted tremendous stress throughout the newly formed planet. If the rate of rotation has been slowing fairly constantly, over the ages, we can see that the earth was rotating very fast originally, for it to slow down to the present 24 hour rate it is today. What ever it was - its angular momentum was much faster and therefore its "centrifugal force" was tremendously strong when the planet was very young. This caused the young, fast spinning, Earth to have a much more pronounced oblate shape, probably even having a "Saturn type ring" orbiting around it. |

So, is it possible that Biblical days contained fewer hours? A year was shorter? Might this explain some of the age issues people have discussed over the years?

No way. I believe we are one of many, cause, you know, he/she is plenty capable. IE== I DO believe there is other life out there. I DO believe in "aliens" even ones that aren't illegal. 
How obnoxious would I be if I didn't? |
Just asking. I can't find anything biblical to indicate we are his only creation. I believe if we were, it would be written. There are lots of empty holes in the Bible. There is no way all those years could be described in those pages. |
There are a few bits of Zohar online in english you might want to read..
PREVIOUS WORLDS AND RACES.
"These (aleh) are the generations (children or races) of the heavens and the earth" (Gen. xi., 4).
It has been stated that in every passage of Scripture that the word aleh occurs, there is no connection with what precedes it. This is the ease with the passage just quoted. Its logical reference and connection is with the words "tohu," and "bohu" (without form and void) in the second verse of Gen. i. There are those who say that the Holy One created worlds and then destroyed them. Why were they destroyed? Because, as the Scripture says, "the earth was tohu and bohu," indicating the state of former worlds before their destruction. But would it not have been better if he had not created them? Most certainly it would, and the explanation involves a great mystery. etc..

What does science know about life on earth?
| Quote: | Did life on Earth begin in the "little warm pond" ?
Viewpoint: Yes, the theory that life began in the "little warm pond" has supporting evidence from a number of experiments, and competing theories are more problematic.
Viewpoint: No, either life began on the surface during the period known as the late heavy bombardment, or it began in a protected environment away from the surface and the devastating impacts.
The origin of life on Earth is one of the most important, and elusive, problems in science. Efforts to understand the origin of life have been frustrated by lack of evidence. In the face of this fundamental difficulty, the search for a scientific explanation for the origin of life has relied upon speculative hypotheses, observations from present conditions on Earth and elsewhere in our solar system, and laboratory experiments that seek to simulate the conditions of the earliest period of Earth's history. |
| Quote: | | For example, the constant bombardment of ancient Earth by meteorites and comets may itself explain the source of amino acids—perhaps they formed elsewhere in the solar system and were carried here by these interplanetary travelers. Hypothetically, amino acids and other organic compounds could survive a trip from Mars or another planet to Earth, and although no undisputed evidence of such a transfer has been identified, scientists continue to study meteorites and comets to better understand the effect of these impacts on the formation of life. |
| Quote: | Another major problem with determining how life began on Earth is the lack of evidence. The fossil record is limited by the fact that almost all rocks over three billion years old have been deformed or destroyed by geological processes. In addition to debating the issue of when life emerged, scientists also debate the conditions of ancient Earth. Some theories posit that early conditions on our planet was extremely cold, while other theories suggest that it was warm and temperate, and even boiling hot. Computer models have suggested that a variety of temperature ranges are possible, but without further evidence there is little consensus.
Life on Earth may have had a number of false starts. Early Earth was subjected to massive geological upheavals, as well as numerous impacts from space. Some impacts could have boiled the ancient oceans, or vaporized them completely, and huge dust clouds could have blocked out sunlight. Life may have begun several times, only to be wiped out by terrestrial or extra-terrestrial catastrophes. |

Eliezer was behind reviving it and died decades before the state was founded. Yes, they are the same, but, I don't know what it is, maybe I should ask, there seems to be something that is funny for Israelis if they hear someone speak that only knows hebrew from religious study.

Genesis explains itself quite well .. at some point god has had it and caps life expectancy at 120 'the days of man shall be a hundred and twenty years,' and it seems to hold up quite well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest_person
Jeanne Calment -- the only person to have undisputedly lived at least 120 years .. "J'ai été oubliée par le Bon Dieu!" ("I have been forgotten by the Good Lord!")

ANOTHER FACE OF RELIGION - THE DIVINE FEMININE
Mythic Naturalism: Dreamscapes of the mysterious connections between the mythological and natural world.
Quote on the meaning of his work by the artist, Jonathan Earl Bowser:
“But there is another presence here, an ethereal, unseen reason to exist that compels the manifest world to action, an essential catalyst and guiding motivation around which the universe revolves on its inscrutable journey, a silent invitation into discovery that dwells in the sacred heart of existence. Mathematics, geometry, archetypal forms, the Laws of Nature. In my work, the Mystery of the Cosmos and the Mystery of the Woman are the same: Source, Destination, and Purpose of all things. Stillness and Beauty. “
Here’s the link to the artists galleries”
http://www.jonathonart.com/intro.html
I’ve admired his work before but never before saw the image in Wabbi’s avatar ( see it above on this page ), which he calls “Celestial apparition”
What do you think is the artist's most beautiful work from these galleries ?
Which brings us back to Feminism:
What is an "-ism" ?
Noun 1. ism - a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school
dogma - a doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative; "he believed all the Marxist dogma"
See the book "Sexual Correctness: The Gender-Feminist Attack on Women"
by Wendy McElroy, 1996, McFarland & Company, Inc., 190 pages.
It describes three kinds of feminism: Liberal, Gender, and Libertarian. Libertarian feminism has a long history of clearly individualist writings that go back as far as the 1830's. Liberal feminism emerged in the sixties as the struggle to secure legal and safe reproductive choice. Gender feminism began to take over the modern feminist movement in the 70's, and is closely tied to Marxist so called "patriarchal-capitalist" class struggle dogma.
There seems to be some confusion over the difference between the Individualist Libertarian viewpoint of McElroy, and what appears to be a Social Conservative viewpoint which iwabwu refers to above, posted: Sat May 19, 2007 2:32 pm on this page: http://www.refugeesunleashed.net/viewtopic.php?t=9938&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=450

Yeah, it took a while to get funds, I think they got the EU and UNESCO to chip in too. The thing is huge, you are going to have a hard time finding bigger wooden buildings in the world.

It took me awhile to figure that out, but it's the only way to go - I used to go to all of the forum that I read and look for new posts. Took forever.

Wow Dugo. Wish I could find a pic of my first church. It was a little Methodist church, one room, white on outside, max capacity was probably 75, but average was 40. (6 being mom and siblings), and the remaining were relatives and neighbors. Anyway, sunday school was separated by curtains, with your aunt trying to teach you of Jesus's love, followed by the preacher preaching hell and damnation. I went there from birth to 12 years. Then mom died, dad had left years before, and we were shuffled back and forth and were exposed to all different beliefs. Wow, looking back, it's a wonder I'm not totally confused...which at times I am.

Citing fairy tales written by humans to justify bad behavior is fuzzy thinking. Some claim to speak for God. Some use these pretexts to justify muddled beliefs concerning sexuality, judging people guilty of crimes without due process, and killing people.
I don't think religion is destructive for everyone. But for many it mystifies rather than clarifies. Particularly for people who support wars that kill innocent people and / or think the body and sex are shameful awful things.
To me, spirituality is personal. The more one publicly professes their beliefs the more I'm wary. Used publicly, it provides exceptions to simple standards such as treat others the way you want to be treated. In extreme cases it's used as a shield to protect from enormous hypocrisy.

WVG - wow, you had a very difficult childhood.  I'm sorry to hear that you lost your mom when you were so young. I think you came out of it with a remarkably sparkling outlook on life. Your mom would be very proud of you, I think.

You were raised in Suriname, Dugo? It's no wonder that you have such interesting insight. If I'm not mistaken, you now live in the Netherlands, you appears to be a walking brainiac, and of course, you have the ultimate of secret weapons The Bot!
The church is beautiful; I'm glad to know that it's being restored - not too many churches like that left in the world, I would imagine.

Genesis does not make sense if you keep the christian children bible version in mind. You will get stuck wondering who is around to kill Cain and where Cain's partner came from and the pastor giving you some BS about incest being A OK because their bloodline was pure or that the prohibitions against these things came later or something like that. A bunch of CE apologetic crock, all to keep it consistent with some new testamentic remark that the peoples were from one blood, while it is so simple if you just go back and make sense of the double creation account first.

Yes, my first memories start in Suriname and I lived there till I was 9. It was truly great growing up there and it took a while before I stopped begging for a single ticket back. Going to the Netherlands from the tropics in the winter didn't help.
I'm not that much of a brainiac, I just turn it on before posting

Many roads have been built since I lived in that area. The church would be right off a major interstate which runs thru the state. Sadly the church was torn down about 5 years ago. But not before the current landowners opened a porn shop there  They tore it down and built a less controversial adult store. Less controversial as in it was no longer in a church.

Ha ha! My parents are presbyterian. Friendly people, low-key, not fire and brimstone. I joke with them that their primary contribution is name tags that say "Hello. My name is ___________." They tend to make all people feel welcome.
Occasionally I'll flirt with heavy concepts. But, as Gang of Four sang, "This heaven gives me migraines."

What do you think is the artist's most beautiful work from these galleries ?

Dunno, some of the landscapes remind me too much of Bob Ross.. |
(( Bob Ross was the host of the PBS program The Joy of Painting, he frequently anthropomorphized the inanimate landscapes he painted (typically mountains, lakes, and snow and log cabin scenes) which were strongly influenced by his years living in Alaska. ))

I had a complete and utter absence of belief in god(s), sinterklaas, ghosts etc.. as far back as I and my parents remember, say birth. I like(d?) religious things though, sort of a .. `cool .. tell me another hell and damnation story' attitude. Confusion came much later when I couldn't rhyme my deterministic world view with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, but it doesn't bother me much anymore, Schrödinger's cat can drop dead."
Try a Google earth oblique angle stereoscopic view for a different perspective.
Bob Ross Landscapes - good or bad ?
Do you think that Einstein's cat is dead ? : "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
