  would you say that's the beginning of the end?

  hubby's researching if the beginning date can be proven from the bible its starting date is 607. clearly, he won't find the answer.... here's hoping he will see the light... .

  Furuli has submitted both volumes for peer review. He has received a favourable and a unfavorable review to his first volume and is awaiting a review for his second volume which is some two years in process.

  My upinion of your expertise or lack thereof is based on the simple fact that you will not deal directly with Furuli about your criticisms of his thesis. This means that your opinion lacks credibility. Your reluctance to participate constitute 'facts' as far as I am concerned.

  Furuli by his own published admission is not an expert in ancient astroonomy.

  Yes you are a pretend amareur if you like. The very fact that you refuse to pursue your findings with Furuli proves the matter entirely. Astro programa are availabel to all but if you are going to engage in serious discussion then at the very least your should know what you are talking about and you have demonstrated that you are incompetent in this field. There is a big differenc between learning to operate a astro-program and to interpret that data within the context of ancient astronomy and that is where you fail.

  background.

  for the past three years, carl jonsson has been critiquing rolf furuli's 'oslo' chronology in an interdisciplinary journal called chronology and catastrophism review.

  My proposal consiisted of 4 points but mainly ureger to list her fundamental citticisms, write to Furuli about these matters, providing me with copies of her letter and reply from Furuli and any information from Jonsson if relevant to the points raised.

  Any use of a astroprogram and the interpretation of the data is dependent on the knowledge of the subject and is best left to professionals rather than pretend amateurs. I have no confidence in your use of such programs and the interpretation of the data.

  It is not the point that your agenda is giving false information to conform to an 'apostate' viewpoint but whether you are competent in the matters that you are commenting on and I see evidence of your competence. Furuli on the other hand demonstrates competence insuch matters and that commands my attaention.

  Learning how to operate a astro program does not qualify one to be critical of anothers's use of such programs but rather it is the understanding of the subject that is more important.

  I submitted a reasonable proposal to Ann in regard to the comparison of Furuli's thesis with an accepted astro-program but she refused to cooperate with me preferring to simply make a lot of noise anout the matter on this forum. If Ann accepts my proposal or we agree on a different proposal then I am quite happy to engage in research and debate on this subject. Perhaps you can persuade her to cooperate with me.

  Both of us are in the same sand pit of amateurs on this subject because neither of us are equipped to engage in any sort of debate on anceient astronomy. We should let the experts such as Furuli and other professional scholars deal with the matter as both of us are spectators/

  It is simply your opinion that Furuli's data is incorrect. Astronomy programs are not apostate but the interpretation and application of those programs is sullied by apostates who have an agenda.

  I too am dissappointed in you for not accepting my initial prpoposal which ensures that we all know what we are talking about. It was obvious from your discussions wiith Wrench which I followed with much amusement was that niether of you kneww what you were talking about and both of yoy were simply point-scoring or 'grandstanding. I have no intention of entering any debate unless I am on top of the subject and my proposal was the best means of ensuring that both of us know what we are talking about.
