Scientists Should Not Dismiss Genesis So Quickly

Chris, hang around mate. There's lots to learn. Psalm 104 praises Yahweh for his wonderful creative works.

I have plans (during my summer break) for a grand opus on the interesting fascination that the Yahweh/Jesus design team had for producing such a huge variety of unusual phalluses.

Phalluses are a neccessary part of life, but it's in this field that we have an insight into the minds of Yahweh and Jesus, as we see not just the rather simple human variety, but the amazing assortment evident in the sub-primate life forms.

All lovers of Yahweh and Jesus will enjoy this thread when I get to it.

And, since scientists are starting to realise that they have given little attention to the socket, which every phallus needs to function and are now starting to focus on that part of animal anatomy, maybe in the southern hemisphere summer of 2015-2016 I can post a series of images demonstrating the Y/J design team's unsurpassed skill at designing unusual sockets for unusual phalluses.

Join with me now in reciting -

Psalm 104

1 Praise the Lord , my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

24 How many are your works, Lord ! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number—

Chris, You're going to spend eternity on just the first chapter, mate (grin). So I urge you to quickly move on to the next chapter, and humans - who are far more interesting than stars, thou8gh we are made form the elements of stars.

Now here's a conumdrum to puzzle your searching brain.

Did Adam have nipples? The answer to which question affects the human condition of Jesus, who is posited as the 'second Adam.'

We appreciate that those of us who are born of women, have nipples (albeit smaller, as I've noticed during various explorations with women) because for the first 5-6 weeks after conception, only the X chromosone is affecting our growth.*

But Adam, according to scripture, was a 'direct' creation of the Yahweh/Jesus as the word**, design team. So did they make him with nipples or did they produce him as a product of the Y chromosone only?

To assist you in your deliberations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Kdoja3hlk

Of course, (I must be fairminded here and bring up alternative ideas to the above there are those who maintain that the Yahweh/Jesus design team produced Adam much as we look, except that he had within him all the female elements etc, (which were removed to form the woman, as symbolised by the rib) which of course, meant that he had female hormones coursing through this body, which in turn meant, that he had very nice fully rounded breasts with attractive nipples on top like a cherry on a pudding.***

Which of these two scenarios do you you think of as 'biblical truth?'

----------------------

Notes:

*So women first, men second, which is not how the author of Genesis saw it, but then, without modern science how could s/he know that?

** Proverbs 8:22, 30-31

*** the truth of that version, so its supporters argue, is preserved as a distant racial memory in the body's of some young men, who dissatified with normal male breasts, want the sort that Adam had, before he lost his female elements , and who take hormones to 'grow' the larger original Adamic breasts.

And, having met a young 'femme-boy' from Thailand at a party last saturday night, I can vouch that they can look better than the all-female sort. In fact, s/he nearly enticed me into bed, but I could see that his boyfriend was watching and not looking happy, so I decided discretion was the better part of valour and not to be centre of a domestic crisis.

Opposition groups (such as we are) always thrive on rumour, as they react to an agenda set by their former colleagues.

Brings back memories, thnx for posting Hortensia.

Another memory! Snuck away from a circuit assembly once to hear Cleo Laine and John Dankworth at a concert. Wonderful. Come to think of it, that's likely why Yahweh got pissed with me and chucked me out of his wonderful spiritual paradise.

Here they are together from 6:30.

Questions concerning Deng Xiaoping

by fulltimestudent in

on another thread band on the run requested that i answer certain questions she put to me concerning deng xiaoping.

i requested another thread for that, one wasn't started so i start it myself.. i see the questions are reasonable, at least for someone who (admittedly) claims to know little about china, and i have no issues about answering them.

like all humans deng xiaoping, is a mix of good things and not so good things.. in telling deng's story, i have no wish to distort history, i see no reason to tell "outright lies about the past, or to omit facts that may lead to unacceptable conclusions or to gloss over anything with a quiet, slight admission that is buried by some other detail.

fulltimestudent

Oh!!!! Sorry, did not know that.

I should not have expressed my post in those terms.

OK, thnx for telling me.

Yes, just so.

Never before in human history have so many had to the opportunity to be educated, to so little effect.

BOTR asks:

2. Did he take any action when the Great Famine was planned and implemented?

Oh GAWD !!!

Do you realise the intellectual implications of your Question? Do you really think that someone sat down one day and purposefully planned a famine?

If so, outside of intellectually lazy journalists, who/what are your sources?

I'd like an answer to that.

Regarding Den, BOTR asked.

Did he subscribe to the Little Red Book?

Haha! Do you subscribe to the Bible?

The Little Red Book, a compilation of Mao's sayings, is second only to the Bible in circulation (so some claim). I suggest it should be seen as an example of human love of "wisdom" sayings. Compare the the few quotes, I've included at the end of this post, to the Bible example of collected wisdom sayings in the Book of Proverbs.

I think I can confidently say that Deng would have agreed with some bits, shaken his head at other bits, and exploded at other bits.

The so-called Little Red Book, more a descriptive term used in the west, than in China, was a compilation of Mao's writings produced by the Minister of Defence, Lin Biao, in 1964, for the politiical motivation of the Army. Before you respond to that, do you agree that the US Army does something similar?

BTW, the only place I've seen it in China, is in stalls selling things for western tourists. It may be in book shops, but its harder to detect (if its there) because most of the books in these huge bookshops are in Chinese.

And, the only statue of Mao, I can recall seeing on my visits to China, is in Fuzhou. (and, of course, the famous portrait in front of the Forbidden City)

Here are some of quoted sayings:

“Political power grows out of the barrel of the gun…”

“To rebel is justified.”

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”

“War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.”

“Don’t give a child a fish but show him how to fish.”

“If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.”

“Firstly, do not fear hardship, and secondly, do not fear death.”

“Politics is war without blood, while war is politics with blood.”

“Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent.”

Each of those statements can (and should be) be discussed in the context of the document from which it has been extracted. The mind of Mao was complex - while he was prepared to go to extreme lengths to achieve his vision for China, - I suggest you need to see him as a product of his time and see him in the cultural/political setting in which he acted.

Religious nuttery alerts

by Simon in

it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.

it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!

) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

fulltimestudent

I particularly do not like the occasional JW who comes here specifically to bash everyone including Simon by starting a thread topic,

then leaves it with no further discussion whatsoever, their intent is an obvious one.

This shows nothing but disrespect for this open forum and and everyone who uses it in my opinion.

Yeah! but that's the way of internet. Get used to it (the internet), its changing the way people interact.
