True science though (I believe) only has uncertain "theories" about the nature of reality. There is no 100% certainty (or beyond 100% certainty) in scientific thinking. In a way I think that kind of 100%+ certainty that you have, must be very comforting for you. Scientific theory, with complete uncertainty, best guess thinking (for me) is probably a little less psychologically comforting.alex_ro wrote:Thank you.fbenario wrote:I'm so glad you joined us here.
No, I don't think that it MAY be what happened. There is one thing (and one alone) that I am absolutely certain (beyond 100% if that would be possible): the Bible. And that includes the Literal Bible (i.e. when addressing literal, not spiritual, things).fbenario wrote:I particularly love that you think God's Creation may actually be what happened.
Science has come closer to what the Bible tells us.
From a "philosophical point of view" (Philo - Love, Sophia - Goddess of Wisdom) I wonder if you have ever wondered about the origins of the bible?
I mean, have you ever thought about things like that "science suggests" that it had several authors over a long period of time and that the roots of the allegorical tales appear to go back further in time than the “original” OT or NT bible texts (possibly) out of the Levant, texts that were originally in various different languages (Aramaic, Greek, Latin, Coptic, Egyptian etc.). Eventually ending up translated in English. The King James version in "English" was possibly influenced by British Rosicrucians (Sir Francis Bacon et al.) who may have introduced some of their own spin and distortion to the text.
Is the modern English bible really a faithful translation of a Middle Eastern bronze age OT text? Would it matter if the bible had changed in meaning and description over the centuries? Perhaps the various translations over the centuries were being telepathically channeled to the translating scribes, who may have reinterpreted older texts in different languages, so because they were communing with “the spirit of the universe” (AKA “source” and “great architect of the universe”) any changes will have been “authorised” changes?
On the "age of the world" of course "scientific thinking" has a great many reasons to think that the "less than 6000 years old" concept is an error.
I wonder if this (science alleged) "concept error" --- perhaps --- is not simply a misreading of ancient texts? If we look at religion from the "astrological point of view" then there have historically been several "ages of religion" ---- and the age of Aries the Ram (Jehovah Moon God worship) supplanted the previous Age of Taurus the Bull that started around 6000 years ago. So perhaps "the calendar was simply reset" at that time. The current Age of Pisces (the Jesus Fish) is ending, to be replaced by the New Age of Aquarius ---- so if a new religion is introduced for this New Age of Aquarius then the controllers of that new religion might reset the calendar clock back again to zero. Like they did with BC and AD ---- or, as they put it these days --- politically correctly --- Common Era and Before Common Era --- rather hinting at the idea that they might want people to start to forget about BC & AD, Before Christ and Anno Domini (In the Year of our Lord, the Sun-God Jesus).
"The Ages" are in reverse order to the normal "Zodiac" due to the 2,000-year odd cycle of the "precession of the equinoxes":
Leo –10,000 to –8,000 BC/BCE the Lion Sphinx in Egypt looked at the Leo constellation at the Spring Equinox, "As Above, So Below".
Cancer –8,000 to –6,000 BC the Lion Sphinx in Egypt looks at Cancer
Gemini–6,000 to –4,000 BC
Taurus–4,000 to –2,000 BC End of the Age of the Hindu Sacred Cow, The Minoan Sacred Bull etc. Mithras fought the Bull. Moses fought the Golden Calf.
Aries –2,000BC to AD0 or AD1 since Zero concept had not yet been invented. "Anno Domini". "In the Year of Our Lord". So the Age of Judaism, The Age of the Sacred Ram Ends and the Age of the Sacred Fish God Starts.
Pisces AD 0 or rather AD 1 to +AD2,000/2,001 or Winter Equinox 21st December 2012 perhaps? End of the Age of Christianity and the Sacred Fish God, of the Pisces Fish Age.
Aquarius AD+2,000 or AD2012 to about +4,000 the dawning of the "New Age of Aquarius"
Capricorn AD+4,000 to +6,000
Sagittarius AD+6,000 to +8,000
Scorpio AD+8,000 to +10,000
Libra AD+10,000 to +12,000
Virgo AD+12,000 to +14,000 Washington DC appears to have been dedicated to Virgo.
Back to Leo and start again.
