    I'm not sure if I have gained weight but my butt is certainly shaped differently from sitting in this chair for hours.  At least I'm still using my computer chair and haven't moved a recliner in front of my computer like some people I know.

    You must be joking about the recliner :lol: Surely not

    Let me ask you this then Captain Jean-Luc Picard " If Adam and Eve were the first 2 " and Cain and Abel were their only children. After Cain killed Abel he went to the land of Nod and took a wife... Where did she come from ?

    You still haven't answered this Captain :lol:

    I think I may have to pin VBG as causing my new weight gain. I think in the last month I have “blossomed” in the bottom a good 5 pounds. :o  All due to sitting around at this computer and posting here. If this keeps up, I’m gonna be a blimp by the time the convention comes!  B)

    Now, you may think the solution  is to just not be here as much. Well, I did that on Saturday. I was not here but for a few minutes and when I came back LATE that night, I found that our beloved leader went and gave me a SECOND forum to Mod while I was away! :bow:

    I scared to death what would happen if I left for two days!  B)

    So, have any of you notices an increase in your waistline since joining here?  :lol:

     

    ALL HAIL OUR LEADER! B)  :o

    I can't say that I have ;) Maybe you should stop eating while you're on here :wow:

    I always thought Trelane was one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen.  He's a unprincipled spoiled brat and  with his range of powers added to his instability makes him even deadlier than Q.  I do think he's a Q toddler of some sort.  The novel Q-squared captures his personallty perfectly.

    I thought the same

    The fact that technology can't discern something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  Nor can we say with certainty (unless someone's got a time machine I don't know about) what our technology will be able to discover 200 years from now.

     

    I've read an analysis of near-death experiences by a heart surgeon who was a trained scientist.  He didn't want to believe what he couldn't explain but his final conclusion was there was no way a person could repeat the detail that these patients gave unless they had been on the ceiling instead of on the table.  I think it interesting that if someone had that level of knowledge regarding a crime they would most likely be found guilty.

     

    I think the exisitence of a spirit could also explain the anecdotal stories of people reporting seeing relatives coming to escort them from this life.  This would indicate however the spirit does not cease existence at the same time as the body. 

     

    My question regarding the transporter was also referenced by L. Krauss in his book the physics of Star Trek.  If our consciousness is something other than matter it may not get transported with the rest of us.

    I think when the body is dying, the brain tries so soften the trauma by allowing you to see what you want to see.

    Look CJLP,you just keep blindly believeing what you want,I don't really care as long as your happy with it.Happiness in life is all that matters since it is very short.Believing in a supreme being brings comfort and happiness to many people and that just fine with me.

    But to use it to argue a point is very pointless to me.it does not prove any thing you say.There is no proof whatsoever of any gods or goddess or god that people believe exists.No proof at all.

    As you know alot of myths are based on some facts,facts that have been stretched and twisted to fit someones agenda.I'm sure there are things in the bible that have a ring of truth to them.but things like the Red sea Parting,never happened. Adam being made from dust and Eve being made from his rib,total myth.The world being made in 7 days,way to much proof that is wrong.

    But if your happy believeing that fine,I don't really care.All I know is I'm very happy and content not believing.

    I wasn't trying to say that you should believe what I do, and I'm sorry if that was the implication of my post, as it was not ment to be as much.

     

    With that said, you disagree with my beliefes. I say that's just peachy. However, unless one of us has a time machine, I can't say for a fact that God created the Earth in 6 days, and you can't say that the red sea never parted. We can choose to believe what we want, but I can't prove some of what's in the Bible, just as you cannot prove stuff in the Bible "didn't" happen.

     

    Your post indicitates that I'm some person who believes in fairy tales, well, that is not the case, and I'd ask you to watch the wording of your posts on this topic in the future. I'm not easilly offended in this area, but others are.

     

    As for "Bible Myths", some have been proven. There's historrical evidence that prooves the Ark of the Covenant did exist, however none for it's contents. There's also historrical evidence that the planet was flooded mostly, if not the entire surface, at some point in the past. Perhaps it was global warming, perhaps it was the "Great Flood", either way, it still happened.

     

    My point is not to convince you to believe what I do, my point is that you said the "Bible" is a book of myths when some, not all, but some have been proven. All I ask is that you be sure you know what you're saying before you say it. I hope I was clear, to the point, and that we can agree to disagree. :lol:

    I take it you don't believe in evolution then ?

    I have never read the books or hadn't thought of the movies because they were kids books.  However, when all the ruckus about banning the books from schools started I got curious and rented the first movie.  It was pretty good for a kid's movie.

     

    It seems like I read books about magic when I was a child and I knew the difference.

    IMHO, the books are ten times better than the movies. Being able to read what the characters are thinking, instead of watching them, J.K.Rowlings did and excelent job :lol:

    That's why I always think that books are better than the movies.

    This made me laugh when it was on the news

     

     

    Potter lookalikes cause problems in politics

    Get this: Dobby the house-elf could be taken to court because some people think he looks like the Russian president. They are angry because they think the filmmakers deliberately modelled Dobby on the face of Russia's boss, Vladimir Putin. A Russian newspaper has even reported lawyers are preparing a legal case against the special effects people who created Dobby. But so far there's not been an official comment on the matter from the President.

    I don't think the book should be banned. "Freedom of Speech" :lol: I just think it should be optional and that there should be a disclaimer that "witchcraft" is involved in a mild manner, so the parents know what their kids are reading. B)

    I can't understand wanting to ban the books myself ... " What are they frightened of " ?
