  Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .

  just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.

  that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!

  but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

  shepheardless-" Minor correction to Giles's post: I think an earth year is 365.24 days, so there is an even less of a "numerical reciprocal relationship"."

  Yes true. My calculations were based on the total revolutions the earth makes in a year. I was being kind to atomant by giving the huge 'benifit of the doubt' to his figure of '366 cycles'.

  To be consistent to atomant's equasion, you would need to calculate the amount of days in a sidereal year, which would be 365.25636, or 365.26 days if we round up to two decimal places. You then obviously have to add a day for one annual orbit of the sun hence 366.26 rotations in total.

  But you are correct that in the Gregorian year and the Tropical year there are 365.24 days when rounded up to two decimal places.

  Using 365.24 days in the equasion you end up with 0.0027379, or converted 2738.

  Not quite the figure that atomant is looking for to prove his theory.

  Just realised how much of a nerd I sound. I will stop there.

  the biggest regret i have is of 'shunning' persons who were disfellowshipped and for 'marking' ones deemed as bad association.. there's no way i can approach these people to ask them for forgiveness as i've emigrated to another country however, by this post i'd like it to be known..

  SB-" My biggest regret was staying pure with my Claudia Cardinale look-alike girlfriend.."

  Not sure if I want to say 'you blithering idiot' or 'you lucky bastard'.

  Claudia Cardinale... stunning.

  atomant-

  " 1/366 = 0.002732 Interesting?

  1/27.32 = 0.0366 More interesting?

  If you are seeing nothing, don’t let the numbers block your view. Remove all the decimal points and zeros, because they are simply scalar indicators, and notice that 2732 and 366 are reciprocal opposites.

  Earth and Moon are ‘locked’ in a numerical reciprocal relationship!"

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

  There is a lot of dishonesty in your equations. In your example that I've quoted above you have gone to two decimal places regarding the moons orbit but you have rounded up earth's rotations in a year.

  If we use your equation using two decimal places on earth's annual rotations, your equasion looks like this:-

  1/366.26 which equals 0.0027300879 as a decimal.

  Using your theory of rounding up the decimal conversion of the fraction you end up with it actually being 2730. Subsequently there is no correlation at all so can hardly be claimed as a 'numerical reciprocal relationship'.

  Why ex-JW's so knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the years here on this site i have found over half of the folks can hold their own with any minister.. why when we leave the borg we become proficient on any subject on the bible.. why did we go down that road?

  my intention was to get close to jehovah (searching the bible), but i. guess i found lucifer.

  i'am ask all the time, how did you go from a true believer to calling the bible a book.

  I think that when a long held faith falls apart, especially a faith like the JW belief, it is a natural process to go back over all that you have ever been taught with a fine tooth comb.

  You come at it more objectively, are more honest and this goes onto highlight the flaws in the belief and the delusion you have been under.

  The undermining aspect of this inclines people to do a thorough research of what they have been involved in, largely because of the need of healing.

  As a result they become encyclopedic on the subject and therefore know more than people still involved in the faith.

  This then has the knock on effect with regards to the entire subject of belief. When you see through one you tend to see through them all.

  Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?

  by HopeEverLasting in

  all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.

  we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.

  but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

  HEL-" Giles the point was why and your reason sucked and was petite"

  Yes... I can see clearly that to your way of thinking, anything true will 'suck'.

  HEL-" Giles Gray, you are hateful"

  So? And what's your point?

  HEL-" You saying I deserve the hate because of what I believe in"

  Yes! Is that a problem?

  There is science that prove God exists

  jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.

  there is another mode for how he exists.

  now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

  Similar writing style to Andromeda.

  Wow...five pages of troll-baiting...far too generous.

  Getting baptised whilst full of doubts.

  Before baptism I was told the questions I had would be answered 'in God's due time'.

  After baptism I was told that some questions I had wouldn't be answered till after Armageddon.

  These questions required answers before dedication. Stupidly went ahead anyway. How foolish I was...
