  The Atheist's Book of Bible Stories - Ch. 15 - Of Numbers, Poop, & Other...

  by RunningMan in

  2. bible

  well, i guess its about time that i dealt with one of the housekeeping issues of this book numbers.

  although i have dealt with the bibles poor mathematical skills in the chapter the numbers of the book, up to this point i have only proven that in some cases, the bibles numbers are physically impossible.

  when it comes to the size and contents of the temple or and the length of the egyptian bondage, the numbers just dont add up.

  Runningman.

  Great chapter as always

  Just some additional thought about the ages of people before the flood.

  I considered the ages from adam to sem, the son of noah. Notice how the numbers does not seem to be random. I took the ages at which the first son was born, and the number of years the person lived after that. Well that are the two things listed. (the third is a combination of both).

  Then from the 22 numbers listed: 6 end with 00, 13 end with 0, and all end with 0,5,3,or 8.

  The tax office has the chi-square test. It basically calculated the change numbers can happen, and shows if somebody makes up it's financial reports etc. We can do this here too.
  So I calculated the chance:

  6 of 22 with a chance of 1/100. This is a chance of 63 in a biljoen.

  13 of 22 with a chance of 1/10. This is a chance of 19 in a biljoen, or 0.00000109 %

  22 of 22 with a chance of 1/4. This is a chance of 238 in a biljoen

  (hope I calculated it right)

  Okay this does not pass the chi-square test. Conclusion those numbers are a fake.

  New Light (from the 50s) "Religion" now acceptable word

  by Odrade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "in 1951, advocates of true worship learned something significant about the term religion.

  some of them could well recall 1938 when, at times, they carried the thought-provoking sign religion is a snare and a racket.

  from their standpoint then, all religion was unchristian, from the devil.

  I am more thinking about an article: It is not wrong to use the term cult. But we are not a false cult, but a true cult ......

  In regard to them teaching people how to brush their teeth: don't laugh. It may sound awful but some people come into the truth from very disadvantaged backgrounds or just plain bad habits (and I am talking about here in the U.S.) I have met more than one dub with funky bad breath and cheesy teeth. (Sorry to gross anybody out).

  Hmm. well we do not have to many back waters here and disadvantaged persons. Of course we have some people who for some reason do not apply normal 'hyginic processes'.

  But he made the point, it was better for the cleaning of the room that way. And the way he was though brushing was a lot different then the dentist recomments.

  Well, anyway, that was all I needed to hear that it was worse there then in prison.

  "Science is not Bad, but there is Bad Science."

  by Rod P in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  don't get me wrong here.

  nor will i deny that there are men and women of science who do not work for money or fame or glory, but rather for "truth", and even for the good of the human race and this planet.. scientists are supposed to be unbiased in their research using the universally accepted "scientific method", being completely objective, and working in the sterile environment of the laboratory, removed from outside contamination and social influence.

  they themselves are supposed to approach a subject or investigation with patience and open-mindedness, without prejudice or pre-conceived notions.

  The question I have for you is: What is the speed of the two beams of light travelling directly towards each other, relative to each other?

  
  The speed of light does not change when the observer has it's own speed. You just cannot add the two speeds. Two objects traveling each with 90% of the speed of light, in the opposite direction. Can still see each other. When they measure the others speed it would be less then the speed of light.

  I'll comment a bit more on this later. or shall we wait upon a thread for special relativity.

  p.s. the &nbsp is HTML. I think it is the space character? for some reason it is inserted when replying a post.

  Should dubs sun-bathe?

  by bother_forever in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so smoking cigs is a drug, yea like caffine (saw this posted somewhere recently), so then they say, its a defilement, and cause cancer etc.

  by this method of thinking, is it also wrong to deliberatly sun-bathe, knowing full well its dangerous (especially here in australia, lots of skin cancers from it) and possibly not showing respect for "the sanctity of life"?.

  someone asked me this while i was still a dub, i think it helped put a dent in the old "faith" bridge.

  ys it is a bit of a dubble moral here.

  obesity and skin cancer seem to be ok. On the other hand we need to eat and a bit of sun. So hard to make rules there.

  Anyway in europe nudity is not connected to sex directly. So woman sunbathing topless or nekid, are not more accepted. Although here topless is ok (but a good pioneer sister won't do it) but fully nekid is not erally accepted.

  Kevan suggested we look, but Hawaii Island has all that I want, including size. But who knows, after we get here, we may visit "there" and move.

  Well Fiji is quite big. I am not sure if bigger the hawaii.
  Your name sounds french, maybe Tahiti.
  I have visited most of the islands and really liked them

  by the way I misread your post, thought you did not move there. Sorry

  i just got an im from afin.

  apparantly she can't post right now.

  i don't know what she did exactly, so i can't speak to her specific offense, but in general i think the absolutely wrong thing to do is ban j-dubs who come here to debate.. .

  CYP , if jws want to post on a Apostate site i have no problem but i will not tolerate them calling names and that seems to be their practice as it is with AFIN.

  Maybe we should also look for people calling dubs all sort of things, when they post something.
