Thanks for that - I'd never heard of them. Looks like the Mayans had some fine craftsmen.

for me I believe it's a kind of code of ethics combined with practicle set of rules. e.g Jews don't eat pork = hot country meat spoils very quickly, sensible idea to ban it's consumption. Ditto the sacred cow in the Hindu world.

short hand for the first bit:- God created the earth the fish light etc and had a rest on Sunday He made Eden and Adam and eve, the ONLY 2 humans on the earth After a bit of rumpy Eve gave birth in agony because she eat the apple to Cain and Able, 2 brothers (both boys) No other children..... THEN Genesis Chapter 7... "Cain and his wife had a son and named him Enoch" ALSO Genesis Chapter 4 Verse 15.... (God speaking to the cast out Cain) "But the Lord Answered, No, If anyone kills you seven lives will be taken in revenge" The book is just full of rubbish, Where did all the other people come from, where did the wife of Cain come from. As for killing 7 in revenge, didn't he go on to say "Thou shalt not kill". Lead by example I say..... Here endeth the reading, Life in Oz is so interesting I'm reading the bible for entertainment! |

A very simple and obvious argument for evolution - oh well. Also Adam seems to have had his hair and beard barbered - who was this mysterious first Vidal Sassoon?

You inherit one colour instruction from one parent, and the other from another. It's the way that the species maintains variation, which is why we all look different, despite being of the same species. That's why it is important to breed liberally, so that there is a a good cross mixing of genes. If you breed within a small community, then the genes start to be defective, and you end up like the royal family, or people from Portland. S |

It's just in the genes. You inherit particular traits from your parents. Some are dominant, and some are recessive. The dominant ones are more common - like brown eyes, so they 'over rule' the the recessive ones.

I could be wrong :confused: I must go & do a bit of googling..............ah the joys of being to sick to work today:( |

I thought the latest line of thought on this from genetic scientists was that smaller gene pools made little difference to genetic birth defects. I seem to remember KC having a lot to say on the subject when it came up a while ago.

Thanks for posting that Caleb.....definately worth the watch!
A must watch for everyone I think, then we can have another thread to discuss it. |
Re: The first mistake in the bible!
Was it from the shock wave created by the large towers falling.

The bit about the number 7 building collapsing was also a bit of an eye opener, exactly why did it collapse? Then the wreckage shots of the plane that missed, where was all the wreckage? Same for the Pentagon hit, where was the plane? How did it fly through all those lamp posts without hitting any?
A must watch for everyone I think, then we can have another thread to discuss it. Whole thing was good but the 9/11 part was really fascinating & very scary. Those points struck me too, among many others - the girder - that definately looked like the oxy-acetylene had been at that for sure. And the thermite found, even under buidling 7. The molten metal found weeks later, under building 7 (expainable by the thermite).The explosions everyone heard seconds prior to the hit too were scary. Also the way the towers fell, not leaving the core which it was designed to withstand, more like a controlled explosion where they blew the central core, the same as building 7. What about the fact they were doing 'practise' that day to. And the literal cover up at the pentagon with all the dirt. I could go on. I'm going to watch it again. Its really scary. And the similarity between the start of all the wars, this being the latest in a well used & successful formula. That all that info isnt out and about - says alot in itself. Nearly pm'd you after watching it Arkon as I wanted to chat to someone about it Ps Whats myan blue??? |
