Erm, erm, I give in... :ask:
I have NO BELIEF in the existence of a God or gods. I do not have to offer evidence nor do I have to determine absence of evidence because I do not ASSERT that a God does or does not or gods do or do not exist.

Apart from the obvious brainwashing of course.


England though both educated in accordance with the same curriculum. Think it was I mix of brainwashing and being a bit dim.

corn in the Bible :o :lol:

You would have to be a total bonehead not to know that CORN was ONLY grown in the Americas during ancient biblical times. So why is CORN in the BIBLE®?

CORN is in the Bible because the PEOPLE, PLACES, and EVENTS of the Biblical narratives were in the AMERICAS! True story. Armed with this revelation and my growing body of Biblical knowledge, I embarked on this exciting crusade to educate others about my discovery 3 years ago. In the ensuing several years, I was challenged, attacked, accused of vicious "isms" and ill will, and in general maligned by would be Biblical scholars and armchair archaeologists. I started a BLOG to help track my journey, there you can find some of the dialog I was routinely subjected to.

The difficult situation with CORN in the BIBLE® is that most people, due to the brainwashing that has been handed down through generations, firmly believe that the Biblical events happened in the Middle East. After much research I can PROVE that the Middle East has absolutely NOTHING to do with the history, geography, and genealogy of the Biblical Scriptures. Nothing!

In my childhood I used refer to corn fields or fields of corn, in general, meaning wheat. This maize stuff is some recent forrin import which was an unknown crop when I were a lad.

We never used to talk of 'wheat fields' - it was always 'corn fields'. :scratch:


Edit: And of course there was 'barleycorn'.

I've seen an atheist argue a different spin on the same stupid misconception - viz. 'the Bible must have been authored after the discovery of the Americas, because until then, corn was not known'. And he did seem pretty serious about this.

I can dream-up things, you cannot, therefore i am right & you are wrong :D

There is evidence, from a vast assortment of things, that suggest that perhaps there are elements of reality and cosmos that point towards things of a metaphysical nature. However athiests refuse the metaphysical just as quickly as they would a single creator.
That is my beef with you reductionist materialist types. It's not that I'm a theist and your an atheist, it's that I see certain kinds of evidence on top of lower evidence and you see lower evidence And that's it..... nothing more. I see nonlocality of subatomic particles as evidence for an underlying unifying reality of a hyperspatial universal consciousness. And I also see it as a quantum representation in the earthly physical realm of bizarre fractal mathematical manifestations of energy. You only see the latter.
There is also evidence, of the logical, rational type, of a force that is "super"natural. Existing outside of "time & space", the space time continuum, in the astrophysics theory of the big bang... That force that is the source behind the big bang. You only see it as the beginning of materialistic existence believing it to begin by itself,... that very thought and statement is illogical in of itself. So you see my friends I'm not arguing for the Christian God here, or Zues, or allah, I'm simply arguing for the metaphysical aspect of reality underlying the materialistic surface reality. My problem with athiests is that such imagination and possibilities are just as taboo and crazy in the minds of the dogmatic atheist worldview as the notion of the tooth fairy,.. as it were. This saddens me. The state of human discovery and imagination trekking through time onwards towards understanding, being brought to a standstill due to surface level narrow mindedness limited by simple materialism. A.k.a the modern atheist.

He's simply trying to excuse his preference for made up shit, by declaring said made up shit to be supposedly superior than real evidence. It's standard supernaturalist practice.

I've encountered that one on a few groups. She's special.

Meanwhile, as promised, I'm off to permanently delete my Faceache account.

Too much time wasted for too little return. In the time I've burned there, I could have finished not just the book in front of me but the two I have in concept stage as well.

I am rather sad and surprised to hear that but it does mean more free time for you. Your experience is the reason why I do not try to convince others of my own particular points of view [ is different here for I now use the forum more as a sounding board than as a platform for my opinions ] It is not my place to convince anyone of anything for only they can do that them selves. All of the wisdom in the world is absolutely useless when exposed to closed minds. So it has to come from within not without. But if it makes you feel any better you are very much valued here as you know so just saying. And just as you take from Thommo and Vaz then I take from you. I would also suggest that the gap between them and you is far smaller than the one between you and I. I like the fact that nothing remotely questionable will not get a free pass from you though I am also somewhat aware that I should not be over reliant on you but long as you are happy with that I see no problem with it myself
