I mentioned about Gita to show the back-firing effect of interpolation, and also to highlight that no scripture is immune to tampering, no matter what religion it belongs to.

Why did God permit Scriptures to be corrupted?
by economy inif someone informs you that your shop caught fire, and firefighters are on the job, you will run to the spot.
however, if you had already sold that property on the previous day (which this messenger is ignorant of), you are likely to respond, saying: shop is not mine..
situation is same with god.

Situation is same with God. He would not have permitted anyone to interpolate Scriptures with contradicting concepts, if they did belong to Him. On the contrary, if scriptures originated with humans, it is possible to be tampered with.
1) What type of food may be eaten by human beings—vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
Vegetarian (Genesis 1:29; Isaiah 66:3)
Non-vegetarian (Luke 15:23; 24: 42, 43)
2) Was John the Baptist Elijah who was to come?
Yes (Matthew 11:14, 17:10-13).
No (John 1:19-21)Those who take liberty to do whatever they like with the Scriptures do not realize that they are not only neutralizing the effect of the scripture, but also paving the way for people to take from scriptures what they find convenient to them. For example:
Mahatma Gandhi made a national movement of “non-violence” quoting from his Scripture Bhagavat Gita (16:2) and got independence to his country from the enslavement by Britain.
His assassin too quoted the same Scripture during his trial as his basis for assassinating the person who became the very symbol of non-violence. Because Gandhi’s assassin did not know that the little portion that is now called Bhagavat Gita has been interpolated into Mahabharat Epic in a WRONG context where God is shown as urging the hero to take up arms, without any hesitation, against family members, relatives, and teachers if they are on the side of unrighteousness. Yet the essence of Bhagavat Gita is non-violence, non-attachment and renunciation of everything what is mundane (18:66)—subjects that are unlikely to be discussed just before a great war!
‘All scripture is inspired of man and non-beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in unrighteousness.’
No wonder we have a God in the Bible who asks us to ‘greet everyone’ (Mathew 5:44-48) and also asks us ‘not to greet those believing differently.’ (2 John 10)

Paranormal activity in a room at Ohio University
by economy inwhy this room (no 428), located at ohio university, is unavailable to students?.
it has been boarded up and closed off because of various paranormal reports regarding the room.
poltergeist activity has been felt: objects flying across the room, doors that open and shut by themselves, and dark shadows appearing and disappearing without explanation.

Why This room (No 428), located at Ohio University, is unavailable to students?
It has been boarded up and closed off because of various paranormal reports regarding the room. Poltergeist activity has been felt: objects flying across the room, doors that open and shut by themselves, and dark shadows appearing and disappearing without explanation. The creepiest thing about this room is the demon-like face that appears in the wood grain of the door. The door has been replaced multiple times only to have the face appear again. The apparition is known to be playful, and is said to be the spirit of a student that committed suicide in the room. If being a freshman at a college university wasn’t stressful enough, imagine having to share your dorm with a ghost! (http://listverse.com/2013/07/02/top-10-more-mysterious-phenomena/)

A rarest of rare inventions made—it is better to remain open-minded!
by economy init seems even the famous scientific laws such as the law of conservation of energy (and lenz's law, which forms the basis of mechanics and thermodynamics laws that suggests machines cannot attain over a 100% efficiency) are all not ultimate.
someone has already succeeded in developing a space generator, a super high-efficiency machine that produces power from vacuum.
the thing is going commercial now with a famous electric company purchasing its the patent.

Things considered to be unbelievable until yesterday may become believable today. Hence the heading: ‘Better to have open mind.’ Change is the only constant, hence open-mind only would make things acceptable. Otherwise we will go on arguing. Open mind means looking for the principle behind the change. It’s like saying: It is wrong to drive at night with lights off, and again it’s wrong to drive at night with lights on during war-time. Law changed, but principle is same during both the occasions—safety of people.

My post ends saying: “Keeping an open-mind, and working on self-improvement seems to be more right.”
If improvement is “100% bullshit more like,” then question would arise: What name would we give to bullshit? You may feel talk on improvement is bs because you find decline in certain aspects of life. However, improvement is possible when there is self-control. Self-control is possible if we want to—because not all of those who feel like killing somebody may not do so every time when they have a reason to do so; but they may refrain from doing so thinking about the consequences. This shows humans know how and when to show self-control. This approach can be adopted in all other aspects of life.

It seems even the famous scientific laws such as the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY (and LENZ'S LAW, which forms the basis of mechanics and thermodynamics laws that suggests machines cannot attain over a 100% efficiency) are all not ultimate. Someone has already succeeded in developing a space generator, a super high-efficiency machine that produces power from vacuum. The thing is going commercial now with a famous Electric company purchasing its the patent. (http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31815&articlexml=BYE-BYE-TO-POWER-CUTS-No-Empty-Talk-07042015007047) A prototype of the machine tested by Kirloskar Electric exhibited 165% efficiency.
The breakthrough for the inventor (a former director of the Kaiga Atomic Power Station) came last year when his machine achieved an efficiency of 238%, which means it produced 2.38 times the electrical power provided to it initially, making it the first to achieve this. This essentially defies the Law of Conservation of Energy and in the case of electrical generators, Lenz's Law, which forms the basis of mechanics and thermodynamics laws that suggests machines cannot attain over a 100% efficiency.
The generator requires an initial infusion of power through a battery or AC supply, following which it produces power sustaining itself on electrons in a vacuum, without requiring external supply. “Space is the only reality, and has the potential to produce massive amounts of power if put through right technology,“ said the inventor.
This news has something to do with us. Leaning towards atheism or theism is not something to be done in haste. Both has its own limitations. Science has made revisions, hence cannot be looked to as a high priest. So are religions which are nothing but speculations.
It looks to me that God exists, yet He behaves as though He does not exist (as a result of which theists and atheists both feel confident about their respective views). If God has confidence in His design—human beings, He won’t intervene in their affairs (which would give the impression that He doesn’t exist). It seems God does have confidence in Humans as He knows humans can easily solve their problems, if they want to. For example,
1) Humans can take the good points of all political systems and design a new one (the same can be done with religion, language ………)
2) Humans can copy the habits of some exceptional humans who live a healthy life-style which helps them to remain virtually diseases-free till their death.
3) Humans can replace the present judicial system (of punishment to the criminals) with a system that makes the criminal do double compensation to the victim which will eradicate the crime itself (if the criminal is bankrupt, compensation could be taken from his relatives, his community, all the educational institutions where he got his schooling, religion he belongs to ….—all of which are responsible for the building of individuals)
Since humans have the ability to solve all their problems and have ability even to become like God, God will not intervene in the affairs of mankind. This means:
1) God has left humans to determine their destiny (which means theists are right)
2) God will not intervene when humans misuse their free-will (which will be interpreted as He does not exit—which means atheists are also right)
Keeping an open-mind, and working on self-improvement seems to be more right!

The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards
by Slidin Fast insomeone raised this book/film to me recently as scientific argument for intelligent design.
i have neither read it or seen it as a film (i hesitate to classify it as a documentary).
having done a little research it seems to be at the least be viewed as controversial by the scientific community.

Both are right.
It looks to me that God has confidence in His design (earth and humans …). He knows humans can easily solve their problems, IF THEY WANT TO. For example,
1) Humans can take the good points of all political systems and design a new one (the same can be done with religion, language …)
2) Humans can copy the habits of some exceptional humans who live a healthy life-style diseases-free till their death.

Since humans have the ability to solve all their problems and have ability to become even like God, God will not intervene in the affairs of mankind. This means:
1) God designed the earth for human habitation and left to humans to determine their destiny (which means theists are right)
2) God will not intervene when humans misuse their free-will (which will be interpreted as He does not exit—which means atheist are also right).

Coded Logic
Bible itself answers for all the questions: “In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise.” (Proverbs 10:19)
If the Bible writers had restricted themselves and given us just the gist of what God wants us to do, there would not have been any inconsistencies. Problem lies with writers who complete with each other in painting their own version about truth and God's messenger.
