  Astounding proof of the existence of God!

  by AlmostAtheist in

  2. friends

  perry marshall has done what no one else could do -- he has proven that god exists!

  he points out that dna is a language -- a message -- and messages always originate with a mind!

  of course, it's so simple.

  If someone discovered an absolute proof of God's existence they would be awarded the Nobel prize for sure. Until then forget about it.

  i am definitely a generalist, i have a bit of interest in 1000 things.

  this is one of the reasons i have always been so unhappy, because i have attempted to force myself to be a specialist.

  it just doesn't work.

  Joel:

  So you are not going to let me know your height and weight at age 20 and 30 also 40 if you are that old.

  This thread stops here.

  I am not wrong about your inclinations. If you had the curiosity of a generalist you would at least inquire about why I asked about your physical dimensions.

  You are comfort centered- NOT information centered.

  Your demands to be loved and appreciated are unrealistic. It is nice to be loved and appreciated but life is tough.

  Whether we are generalists, specialists, creative, plodding, enchanting, ... we are trapped AS our selves. Our best attributes are sold to the highest bidder - our worst traits have to be tolerated and perhaps managed.

  Joel:

  Probably insufficient data.

  What's your height and weight. At 20 yrs and then at 30 yrs.

  You don't have to answer me or you can send me a private message.

  Joel:

  What's wrong with vegetating. We're talking about the core of our evolution. I use the term vegetate with the functions of the gut, vicera or as some 1800's physicians called it the "vegetative system".

  You are probably a feeling/seeing person. Which means you want comfort and you continue to search your envrionment.

  You're an endomorph - face it - love it.

  Look at the words you use:

  You like smorgasbords. You want to "fill" your life. You "hunger" for new information.

  Reading = Passive - vegetative end of spectrum

  New Ideas= Contemplation= Passive

  Art= Observation= Passive

  You are passive not active. Do you play any sport regurlarly. Probably you enjoy swimming/floating.

  I am not being critical. Just some observations. People are different in these very basic ways. They are gut dominated, muscle dominated, nervous dominated or sensory dominated - all are different styles of approaching the world.

  No one knows more about this than I do. Pardon the brag. Someday I will write a book about it.

  People are not just thinkers and doers. People are 1.feelers (love types), 2.thinkers (justice types), 3.doers (power types) and 4.seers (wisdom types).

  Actually if you take all the permutaions of those four dimensions you have 24 types.

  I am a see-er/feeler/thinker/doer

  See-ers are generalists. Thinkers are specialists. Feelers - well they primarily feel but are more generalist than specialist. Doers are specialists because to do some- "thing" you have to be able to focus on what you are doing.

  Joel you are definitely a feeler type. You have the ability to focus but prefer to vegetate and find tasks to be an intrusion.

  Everyone can be classified into what they want and how they get what they want. AND what they avoid and how they avoid it.

  This is a theory I came up with 20 years ago.

  Hybridous:

  Religious movements often have charismatic visonaries at their core. No doubt Jesus was of that type. They can really spin. They are the entrepreneurs in the relgious realm. Before they know it their brand of "preachin" catches on. They usually don't arrange for a smooth transition after their exit because they really believe they will be able to pull strings after they pass on to the next world. Jesus did a pretty good job because he was a Jew and they know how to set up a propsperous enterprise.

  If King starts to get funds he will be on his way. Kind of like Armstrong and the World Wide Church of God. There have been a lot of these guys.

  I agree somewhat with Cygnus. Right now JW's are in a kind of holding pattern - they don't want to think too deeply. But King could pick up quite a following in 2014 if he's still pushing his stuff. There will be a lot of people looking for something right about then.

  Cygnus:

  When we were on the AOL message board there was a woman who was pretty well versed in the Church Fathers.

  I can't remember her screen name. Do you remember it. Do you know what happened to some of those people.

  There were some real scholars on there. (Apokrisis/Greg). Caraban?
