Sea of reads, my butt. Science vindicates Exodus Account.Follow

Sounds like Moses was the first meteorologist. Maybe he had like a tumor or something. A tumor sensitive to atmospheric changes. If the whole prophet thing had been a bust, he probably would have made a fine carnie.

Anomalous weather conditions also?


Erich von Daniken was right. Aliens did it all.

Mary was artificially impregnated. Jesus wasn't half human half god, he was 100% Kryptonian.


I love that Ancient Aliens series.

I thought they did. At least, that's what I took the Ori to be.

Think about it more I guess so. It was a little too indirect, but I understand why they had to do that.

They did. Sokar modeled himself on Satan, and there was also that village with the crazy lightning ring guy.

As one who's read the bible as a former Christian and as a scholar, we have to acknowledge that many of the stories in the old & new testaments (and their Judaic and Muslim counterparts) have a basis in history, some of which is validated by archaeology - the battle of Jericho, the enslavement and exile in Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar's feast, the Roman occupation of Judea etc etc.

You don't need to have faith to acknowledge biblical stories, even if you don't buy the miracles, burning bushes and other mystical embellishments.

I'd say she's just obsolete. She needs a make-over. Peeps don't need explanations or cause for earthquakes, forest fires or floods anymore. We need a god to explain and comfort us about sexuality, the internets and terrerists.

I meant the computer model is old news... but I had no idea the concept went back that far. Anyways, I certainly agree with you here, Nobby. There is some truth in the Bible. I'm even willing to grant the possibility (however miniscule) that some of the miracles could have happened somehow (a magic trick, a fluke in the details of the explanation, etc.). The problem I have is with the claims made by the religious which they call 'scientific.'

Well, I actually like yours, I've always wondered where it's from.

But... why do you hate poor Steph? Smiley: frown She represents everyting I wish I could be: sweet, athletic, outgoing, happy, female, etc.

Or is it just that you want to punch me and you associate me with my avvy? That I could understand.

I hate it when people edit out their posts. So so so so annoying and stupid.

I'm also upset this thread has nothing to do with me.

As of right now, I do not feel scientifically vindicated.
