I believe in God but not as Religion portrays A God But more in the Principle of THE God - Life I think Creation of Human Race into something where we would be individuals yet co operate was more important than technology The earth is abundant and beneficent but Man/Women need to learn to gift each other their Values |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 729808 United States07/19/2009 09:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe the world was a very, very different place before the flood. It would have been extremely interesting to know everything that went on. There will be disagreements of course, over evidence, but all we have left from that era is bits and pieces. There are some odd things found today that fit into this pre-flood era. It was basically a different planet. It's my opinion this is why dating methods and conventional early earth theories are thrown off. |

User ID: 724853 United States07/19/2009 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the tower of Babel and the one-languages thing was AFTER the flood. Flood: Genesis 6. Babel: Genesis 10. The people had congregated, in direct opposition to what God had told them to do, which was disperse and re-populate the world. Then they decided to build the tower and got feeling too smart of themselves and worshipped their smartness rather than God so He confused the languages and made them disperse anyway. more here: [link to ldolphin.org] Or, of course, in the actual bible Gen. chapters 5-11. the bible is silent of pre-creation. It begins by saying "in the beginning" so since I am a bible literalist, that is the BEGINNING. If people want to suppose that three-toed Atlanteans were prancing around telepathically saying "Peace" to each other before the Beginning then fine. But the bible does not support the notion of pre-creation civilizations Last Edited by Dread Pirate Roberts on 07/19/2009 09:21 PM "From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 646901 United States07/19/2009 09:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who knows what all may have happened in the past on this planet. I find this to be a fascinating subject. The more one reads of this the more one's appetite is stimulated to learn more! How I wish humankind would get some breaks in discovering our past. I believe much has been hidden from us. I think that in the past there have been many civilizations with superior technologies to ours at the present time. I think what we have has been purposefully retarded in order to keep us powerless in the scheme of TPTB to use humankind basically as cash cows to skim profit off of. They created a system in which they don't have to work in order to live, they live off of us. This is unsustainable and it's part of the reason things are caving in for TPTB. It may not be long before their house of cards collapses, and during periods like this is sometimes when things from the past that have been hidden are discovered and opened up. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 254879 United States07/19/2009 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've always found the Tower of Babel to be one of the strangest stories in the Bible. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 729795Because it is not correct. Get a concordance and go through it word by word. You will find a much more interesting story, not the Bullshit that you have been taught. Here is a hint And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech (rough King James interpretation) If you research it word for word you will find it says the dry ground was of one. In other words where we walk was a solid piece. The part where it says let us build a tower to reach to the heavens etc.. That part refers to building not a tower but a some sort of ship or plane or something to get off the dry ground because the earth was in another change (earthquakes etc...) A type of oil was raining from the skies among other things. |

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" -Revelation 6:5, 6:6 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 729808They struggle to explain why. the bible offers a explanation, though it sounds strange today. Please cite where you learned this information. I'm a linguist, and I can guarantee you no such opinion is held. |

After the flood around 13,500 years ago, or about 11,500 B.C. the earth`s atmosphere changed and our life span dwindle significantly due to oxygen saturation changes, atmospheric pressure changes and ultra violet light increasing. Also, though I don`t know how, I heard our gravity became weaker. I also believe during this time when this object in space passed the earth, it altered our calendar from 360 days to 365 days. It is my observation that the present "human species", is smaller, weaker, less informed and is a devolved mutant hybrid of the original model. No offense intended. We have been dumbed down to serve and fulfill the wishes and desires of our human brokers, who have somewhat longer life spans then us to control us......we are slaves. We, the human species, in general and like in the movie "Charley", due to increases in sodomy and perversion are devolving back to the hominid we once were. Except for a remnant, it appears, we are becoming more violent and animalistic in nature. Therefore, as in the past, that is during the flood, only select seeds will be chosen and taken. Regarding Noah`s Ark, he and his family had help in building the Ark, not the local villagers either. Also their navigator aboard the Ark was not human. Furthermore, the Ark, on board, contained the seeds of life as in DNA along with some animals for food and a re population. Regarding the animals entering the Ark on their own free will, some did due their sense of a clear and present danger as in earthquakes or Tsunami. They were also lead to the Ark by beings not of this earth. Regarding tall buildings, I encourage you to peruse the Clementine Lunar Image Browser 1.5 at [link to www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil] See YouTube "Moon Rising" Put in -73 latitude and 135 longitude, it is believed this attempted washed out object is a spaceship and or a factory 10 times the length of Los Angeles. Though my calculations are not exact, it appears this craft is over 200 miles long and about 70 miles tall.....there also appears to be a humanoid or android or something "human looking" that appears, I say appears, to be from 50 to 75 miles tall and about 10 to 20 miles across at the shoulders. Now.......about....."there were giants on the earth in those days and there after" LEGION |

If you actually took the time to READ the passages you cite, you'd know the words that were used. You're pleading ignorance here, when in fact your ignorance can be cured by the simple process of looking at the ancient language, the words used, and seeing the various attempts at translation. Once you have seen a couple/few translations, you will have a much better idea of what the authors intended to convey with their writing. Relying on the KJV translation is foolish, and only goes to show that you, and people like you, prefer to worship a book rather than that which the book points you to. |

Quoting: LEGION, FOR THERE ARE MANY 720213OMG the ignorance here is spectacular. If you actually took the time to learn what the ancient civilizations were like, you'd have a far better idea of why you're simply wrong here. The early civilizations measured time in lunar cycles. When you realize that, you quickly understand why they had 360 day 'years'. It wasn't because some fantastic object altered our planet's orbit. The research on this topic is absolutely readily available. There were people who wanted to continue with the moon-based calendar, and there were obviously people who believed the Sun-based calendar was superior. We obviously know which faction won out. But some of us also have a difficult time understanding what it must have been like to have a moon-based calendar, and we create completely bizarre stories to make up for own ignorance of the topic. |

You assumed I haven't. Now you know the truth. I rely on four versions not just KJV. Another assumption you have made, and now, again, you know the truth. I worship Jesus. A third assumption you have made, and with that third in such a short space of a post, I deduce that your intentions are less than honorable in conversation. Also, I do not like being called "ignorant" because I participate in a discussion and stated an pinion different from yours. Have a good night and best to you in your interpretations of the bible.
