That was easy! - Gravois Fri, 22 Apr 2011 21:34:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16926 TOKEALOTA: Are you mentally stable? Do you possess the capacity to express a coherent thought, or a series of lucid, well-constructed sentences? "I myself have learned..." from whom, when & where? "...when we will no *loner ["longer" (I presume you meant to write)] be here" What time-line or chronological "chronotope" [linear directional divine time] do you claim? And, finally, "where we will be taken." What is the concrete referent for your pronoun "we" ? Furthermore, what is the place? And lastly, Who will be doing the taking? I suggest you know none of these answers, TOKEALOTA. In fact, you are incapable of depositing even a mild conjecture, as to an answer, for any of these series of questions, I have proposed to you! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Thu, 21 Apr 2011 20:41:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16872 Ga Laf. Native , how slow are you , If our government who is directed by the "7 wanted to educate you as to how and why the earth turns, among other oddities which the ancients from other planets have educated a select few of us, you would have been chosen to participate in the NEW WORLD OUTSET, which I have just informed everyone as being the true wording of the N W O. Oh, and the ancients asked me to inform you, that they also love " Fried Chicken, and that it is not a racially monopolized staple, as is "KOSHER FOODS" * Watermelon. Also I'm glad you and Maescan't are bonding, Maecan't was lonely in that cold ward. I myself have learned the reason we are here, and when we will no loner be here, and where we will be taken. - TOKEALOTA Wed, 20 Apr 2011 23:59:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16845 Thanks, I'll take a look see. Maybe you're right because if this were true, it would be breaking news on every channel that ancient caves depicts people from other planets. - LAFAYETTE NATIVE RESIDING IN CA Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:33:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16840 Lafayette Native: I am embarrassed. I failed to quote the source-text of my comment on Herr von Daniken's literary thievery; it was Wikipedia. Plagiary has become the disease and vice of our Age. It was simple sloth on my part. However, it is still inexcusable in a man who loves learning! I apologize to the editors here. - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:44:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16836 WOW, Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, you sure know how to burst a guys bubble, lol. I'll do some research. Thanks. - LAFAYETTE NATIVE RESIDING IN CA Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:14:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16832 Lafayette Native: Erich Anton Paul von Däniken (born, 1935) is technically and literally insane. He has been in and out of mental institutions. He is also a thief: A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine states that Däniken plagiarized many of the book's concepts from The Morning of the Magicians, that this book in turn was heavily influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, and that the core of the ancient astronaut theory originates in H. P. Lovecraft's short stories "The Call of Cthulhu" written in 1926, and "At the Mountains of Madness" written in 1931. I am shocked that History Channel would parade his nonsense! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Wed, 20 Apr 2011 13:58:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16803 I'd rather associate with aliens than humans any day. - Docy B Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:00:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16797 Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, I too believe that intelligent life exist elsewhere. Though I could not explain it as well as you have, I believe they have visited us in the past. Eric von Daniken has a mind blowing series on The History Channel where he exposes drawings in ancient caves that reveals figures in space suits, drawings that depict aircrafts, etc. Checkout this link. http://www.consciousape.com/discussion-topics/ancient-astronauts/ - LAFAYETTE NATIVE RESIDING IN CA Wed, 20 Apr 2011 08:23:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16793 To Gaius Cilnius Maecenas...Zzzzzzzzzz...All the air traffic controllers who have fallen asleep were reading you at the time. You need to take full blame for this problem. - Bow Tox Wed, 20 Apr 2011 07:32:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16788 Creationism is the glue that binds the Christian community and for many that is all that keeps them from going over. Life is tough some may think...but back in the days before electic lights, before running water, before agriculture and domesticated animals....the powers of nature were very real and tramatizing. When religion came along....it provided a tool for the powerful and a crutch for the less fortunate masses emerging from the darkened woods. It is hard for people to let go of things that have worked (to whatever extent) in the past....thus we have conservatism and therefore Christianity. Very hard to let go of indeed. - La native living in Lafayette Wed, 20 Apr 2011 05:00:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16787 "I'm" can you express yourself in a more civilized manner? You're raising your blood pressure way too high. You can search for a smarter citizenship, but you might be disappointed in what you find. I appreciate your frustration & I've felt it more than once myself. You're going to have a hard time finding a better place though. Its a trade off in a lot of ways. - Dont let the door hit you Wed, 20 Apr 2011 04:52:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16786 MY KIDS LEARN CREATIONISM IN THEIR BIBLE SCHOOL WHERE THE SUBJECT BELONGS. They learn Science in their school classroom. They are smart enough to reconcile the two classes. They know the meaning of "faith". - APPLE Wed, 20 Apr 2011 04:48:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16779 Lafayette Native: You've apparently been in California for too long. When you've been whipped at your argument, your next tactic (if designed to support truth as opposed to merely your present opinions)shouldn't be baiting your opponent into an entirely-different argument where you pull them down into an emotionally-charged and politically-destructive morass. I dare say that you are not terribly interested in Gaius" response, but intend to use a response to launch a new campaign of misinformation. Cheers! - Louisiana13 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:46:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16778 LAF NATIVE, you be careful what you ask for. Actually your lineage arrived here from other planets, and the planets were so heavily wooded, that your ancestors learnt to travel through the tree tops to get to their spaceship, and you were made in their image. (Oh lord, please forgive me) - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:45:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16777 Lafayette Native Residing in CA, I speculate that there are superior "life" structures elsewhere in the composite cosmos. Since our Star, the Sun, is a tertiary [third generation] star, there must be "intelligence" far superior to us, that had evolved from secondary star systems. Since our universe ["cosmos"] is roughly ca. 14 billion years old, and our stellar planetary system 4.3 billion years of age, we are the junior members of the comprehensive cosmic system. If these vastly advance "intelligent" systems would visit us, I suspect they would be more interested in our bacteria on this planet, the true Lords of Life! I am afraid that they would view us [Homo sapiens sapiens] as temporary accretions of cellular accidents, doom to immediate and repeatable, multiple extinctions within the cosmic time-span! I have always found it more than interesting that the number of neurons in our brain matter, that permit consciousness in our self-identity mental state, roughly mirrors the number of stars in our immediate galaxies. I trust this will comply with your request of me! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:36:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16775 So, Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, do you believe that life form like we Humans exist on other planets and in other galaxies? I'm interested in your take. - LAFAYETTE NATIVE RESIDING IN CA Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:53:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16766 My second comment on the Louisiana Science Education Act (2008), for this readership: In addition to the Babylonian-Hebrew obsolete doctrine of "creationism" as evinced above, one should ponder, if it is moral, truthful and responsible to teach the tender minds of our young this antiquated theological propaganda, and parade it as a "theory" ? Should we teach in our Physics classes the "ether wave" theory? Should we teach in our Chemistry classes the "alchemical elements" theory? Should we teach in our Astronomy classes, Pythagoras's cosmology of the harmony of the spheres, Ptolemy's cosmology of epicycles, or Kepler's cosmology of the five Platonic solids? These are theories also. The English-Greek 'terminus technicus' "theory" derives from 'tithemi' meaning "to put, place (in the mind)." The English-Latin verb "create" implies a "creator" and "creature." This constitutes a 'circulus vitiosus' [Circular Reasoning]. This verb translates the rare, late Hebrew " bara' " ("create") used only of a deity commanding, separating and naming things into existence. Furthermore, should we teach in our schools that the world began in 3761 BCE or 1 A.M. [Anno Mundi, from the inception of the world]? That the Flood occurred in 1656 A.M.? That the great Exodus out of Egypt, under the legendary folk-hero Moses [Hebrew, 'Mosheh' from Egyptian m-s-s, "hath been born (by a god); the theophoric element of the god's name is missing], happened in 2666 A.M.? Or that Solomon's great Temple building began construction in 3446 A.M.? It is time to retire this controvery begun in the Victorian Age. It was not Biology nor Geology that brought down the Biblical Babylonian-Canaanite worldview: It was philology! On December 3rd, 1872, Mr. G. Smith announced to the Society of Biblical Archeology in London, England his extraordinary discovery on cuneiform tablets of the creation and flood narratives from Babylonian treatises [Enuma Elish, Atrahasis & Gilgamesh (Tablet 11)] that pre-dated the Biblical account by ten centuries. Their thought patterns, cognate vocabulary, and sequential ordering of events were remarkably similar. On that day, the Bible became a dead book! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:36:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16752 Short corrigendum on a missplet word in my blog above: for *Achaemendean read "Achaemenidean". Also, the four deportations of the Israelite-Judean [Northern Kingdom & Southern Kingdom respectively] elites was confusing: The Neo-Assyrian Deportation of the citizens of Samaria and its countryside occurred in 722 B.C.E. to the Assyria mainland. The three Babylonian Exiles were: March 15th/16th, 597 B.C.E [This was the group that the great Prophet Ezekiel was included in; observe his Prophetic corpus opens in the fifth year of the Judean Babylonian Exile (593 B.C.E.); he is living at Tel Abib [cf. modern Tel Aviv, Israel], a city near the ancient Babylonian religious center of Nippur. Then there was the Deportation of September, 587/86, which was the successful destruction of king, temple and city of Jerusalem. This marks the end of the First Temple Period. Then there was another Babylonian Deportation in 583 B.C.E. It was from the Babylonians that the Judean scribes acquired their notions of "facticity & historicity." See Babylonian Chronicles that started in 747 B.C.E. [Google for appropriate background]! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:51:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8139-la-creationist-law-in-crosshairs#comment-16751 You seem to be an intellegent design person, yet your censor of media is more from the t-rex era. He chose the name, "I'mnotadumbass, I just shorten it. Any way, creationism is equivalent to republicanism. Who do you see on every channel talking about abortion, family values, god this and god that. These people (republicans) have been jerking the country around with this bulls*** for centuries. - LAFAYETTE NATIVE RESIDING IN CA Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:09:36 +0100
