Study up on it. In general, blacks that don't have any genetic white influence are more emotional but less intelligent than whites. This is on the average. There are plenty of blacks who are of far higher IQ than some of the whites. But in general, this is not so.

A place to look for a lot of info regarding this is in the books and studies listed at http://www.amren.com/archives/.

Yet, what difference does it make? Blacks are people. Often blacks are far better people than whites.

MMH you're talking nonsense. Of course you can have lunar eclipses (blood moons in bible speak) and have perpetual sunlight at the poles, they are two totally separate things (the shadow of the Earth on the Moon, and the tilt of the Earth causing the extended day/night at the poles).

The reason the moon sometimes appears red is because of light scattered by the atmosphere, and by different levels of shadow falling across it. Again, this has nothing to do with my point about daylight hours, you're seriously misunderstanding how this works if you think this is a case of "either/or".

As for your comment about colder light from the moon, you actually believe that moonlight is cold? You think this is why night is colder than day?


The reason night is colder than day is because the sun isn't shining on us. Tongue

Yabut, what's the reason for moonlit nights being colder than when there is no moon?

I do differ a bit in that view though. As mostly Muslims never treat their wives as how Spanish or any other people do. A classic example is the case listed in the beginning of this page that a dad gets to decide whether a rescue worker can touch his daughter or not even though she is drowning!!! Women are treated as semi human beings just like articles instruments or pets who re owned. The Man husband or father is the owner of them not just a relative partner or guardian like in all our lives. So wat difference does it make whether you own 4 sheep or 40 its only profit as they are just things and don't have any authority or option to decide or live as they want or even express. So they are still smart by getting wat they want in the way they want. I am sure Spanish men respect the women in their lives umpteen times more that's why the word of 4 wives means handcuffs and not something else fancy  Grin

While this is technically true about Muslims, it is not always actually true... at least not as strongly and directly as you have stated it. Many Muslim men respect their wives, and almost treat them as a queen in their households, just as many Spaniards do.

A man who has a wife, and wants her as a real wife, must respect her in some ways. If he doesn't, he doesn't really respect himself. Or else he doesn't know what life is about.

I just visited Iceland, where the day is currently longer - the sun set about 23.00 and rose about 03.00. During the solstice, Iceland experiences almost 24hrs of daylight.

My question is this: How does the flat earth theory explain this change in daylight hours when an observer travels north or south of the equator? Or in other words, why does Antarctica and the Arctic both experience long periods of sunlight and darkness?

The explanation of a "spotlight" sun does not make sense, if we assume that the Arctic is at the centre of the disc, and the Antarctic is a boundary of the disc.

While I don't necessarily agree that the earth is flat, modern science is very technical in how it works. This science has not been used to explain how a flat earth would work in every way. If the minds of modern science were applied to finding out how a flat earth works, like they have been applied to a round earth, flat earth science might have advanced way more rapidly.

Perhaps the explanations are coming in the near future.

Smiley

Perhaps, but the current accepted model of a globe Earth explains this already. This is the main problem with the Flat Earth theory, it seems to be a case of classic conspiracy theory where someone thinks up a hypothesis (a flat earth) and then tries to "prove" all the discrepancies with increasingly complex explanations, such as a "spotlight" sun, with no empirical evidence of said explanations.

This is not how the scientific method works, you don't just think up an idea and then think up loads of new ways in which the idea could work. You need to rigorously try and "disprove" your hypothesis, and the harder this is to do, the more weight your hypothesis has.

I just watched part of the first video at:

, but it was so stupid that I couldn't even finish it.

However, one of the things that the video made me think of is that there might be another design to the earth than the ones listed in the video. The earth might be like a flat earth. But rather than a flat circle, with the water being held in by ice around the edges, perhaps the earth is "humped" in the center. The center of the disc-shaped earth might be humped in the center.

Oh come on! Play with me. This is an exciting sci-fi topic that approaches reality. And if it is modern science that is the sci-fi, how exciting! We might have been living in science fiction all our lives.

Its just because it is a religion which refuses to move along with time. They still want to live in the same old world of gypsy civilization where they could wage war and capture cattle slaves and women. All the other religions have moved out along with time the Christians Jews Buddhists even the Hindus considered to be much older organized religion. But not Muslims the basic issue is that they cannot co exist with any other faith. They cannot tolerate any other religion where other religions can. They want to enforce that Allah is the only God and force everyone to believe in him. Belief is not brought by violence though.

Muslims are pretty smart. Yet in this one way they are not smart at all. Four wives and a concubine.

One of the words for "wife" in Spanish is "esposa."

You make Spanish words plural like you make English words plural... by adding an "s" to the end of the word.

Therefore, to make "esposa" plural, you simply add an "s" to the end, right? But "esposas" doesn't mean "wives." It means handcuffs or shackles.

When Islam conquered Spain for a short period of time several hundred years ago, the Spanish (who are smarter than the Muslims) figured out what the 4 wives thing was all about.

so does god provide for people like this

 then why can i provide so much for my kids and i don.t believe in god you think he make me suffer
i know i can make money the secret is not to be lazy money is god at this present time..
God is good.

You and I know nothing. God made things stable enough in the universe that we can plan for tomorrow. But it isn't always this way. Think of the car accident, or the person who wins a big lotto. They didn't know. They hoped and planned, but it worked out differently than they though it would.


see the only way to be totally free is everything is free
Nothing is free. We are locked in cause and effect. It is God who is directing cause and effect, often according to our wishes, so that we think and feel that we have freedom. True freedom is in God alone. Seek Him.


if i want a car i just go and get one from a show room for nothing what ever i think of that man uses becomes free.
 what ever i need and money is attached to it then i become a slave for money to buy these products
because i want it i need money for it so i am now a slave for money..
so unless we get everything for free we will always be slaves..
This is true. But you have much good in life. God directs things in life so that you have good, even though you are a slave to cause and effect, which He controls for your good.


so you see the super rich some where along there blood lines they also were slaves really if you think about it
if i make a billion dollars i have been a slave to get this because i had to work hard to achieve this..
The superrich are slaves of cause and effect just like everyone else. They do not know what will happen. Here is the danger for the superrich. They trust in their riches rather than God. God gives them much good, but they trust in their wealth rather than in God.

Wealth can be a snare.

You have the chance to be trust in God in a much easier way than the wealthy people. You don't have the great distraction of great wealth.


then if i pass that money to my children then they are truely free..
and this is what man and women strive for
so where is god in all this

God is in everything in all this.

God gives many things. He gives wisdom and understanding and knowledge.

The wealthy people who became wealthy by working for it, used their wisdom and understanding and knowledge to become wealthy. Many of them didn't realize that they were losing God by being wealthy.

God is more important than all the wealth in the world. Wealth is gone in the minute of death. God holds your life for all eternity, and will raise you from the dead at the last day. Do you want to be an enemy of God at that time? Or a friend?

Islam is a religion of piece!!!!! and hate those peoples who r corrupted and cruels!!!!

This would be nice. This would be a wonderful thing. Peace is wonderful.

But the religious writings of Islam give directives to Muslims to be violent conquerors of the world for Islam. Much twisting of the Islamic writings is necessary to bring peace out of them in the face of the directives to do violence.

People like ISIS are better Muslims because they do the violence as well as the peace written in the Islamic writings.

I don't know of any inventions that came out of the Bible, although there might be some.

The point is that God invented science and everything that He placed into the universe. The Bible is the Word of God, so all inventions in the universe came out of the Bible.

Man barely knows a little about how the universe works. Science is the key to life. But man barely has an inkling about the key to science. If he did, he would have caused himself to live 200 years rather than only 100 years. And if mankind knew anything about science at all, he would have caused himself to live for a thousand years.

Personally I don't believe people should look at porn. But the next time you are attacked by government because of the porn on your computer, require that the guy who is listed as the plaintiff against you get on the stand and testify as to the harm or damage it has done him.

First, government can't get on the stand, because government is just paperwork. Second, the porn on your computer hasn't hurt anyone, has it? If it has, and if the hurt one can be plaintiff and show how he was hurt, pay off his damages.

Other than that, you don't as a man or woman understand legalese. So, how can you be held guilty of not obeying it, since there is no requirement for you to learn it?

Why salad is so overrated


It's not. Phytonutrients. We need them, if only in miniscule amounts. They come from salads and other sources.

One of the problems keeping us from living an exceedingly long, healthy life is that we don't get enough varieties of phytonutrients. There are millions of "varieties" of phytonutrients in the world. There are probably many forms that have been lost off the planet as plant species die off and are lost. Each of these is different, and each contributes to health in its own way. None is unnecessary. Sure, the body has work-arounds. But eventually we die, partly because of the lack of certain phytonutrients from green plants... salads.

The problem isn't the so-called uselessness of salads. The problem is the lack of higher quantities of the nutrients in the salads to make up for the phytonutrients that have been lost due to plants becoming extinct.

One company called AIM International (http://www.theaimcompanies.com/) sells a product they call BarleyLife. This product essentially is barley grass juice that has been dehydrated in such a way that the phyto- and other nutrients remain active.

There are other companies that are using this process with all kinds of food plants. Another is VEDEN (http://www.veden.com/). Their flagship product, VEDEN, is a combination of all kinds of plant foods, salad plants included, reduced to concentrated powder form.

It isn't that salad foods are not good for us. The problem is the lack of varieties, which can be made up somewhat by consuming much more of what is available.

Smiley


The easiest way for me to boost the amount of phytochemicals in my body: I bought a blendtec...

Sorry. Not concentrated enough. In the distant past, the earth was so healthy, and the plants were abounding with so much nutrition, that people were healthy enough to live for hundreds of years.

A blender, even a good one, won't help much with getting more nutrients. The best it will do is aid in digestion a little. The thing we need is concentrated nutrients, so we can actually get more of what we need. VEDEN.

35396  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: August 25, 2015, 01:36:41 AM
Well, a significant number of atheist's don't hate religion, after all a religion is nothing more than a set of beliefs, traditions and rituals, what it really bothers some atheist are religious people with the attitude of: I know better than you how you should live your life or go you'll burn in hell.



Nobody should hate religion. Religious folks should respect atheism for what it is, a religion. Atheists should not condemn those other religions that are trying to save them; they should welcome and respect those who want to save people, even if their method is misinformed.

Atheists are people living their religion. Their religion might be vastly different than some other religions. The reason they live their religion as they do is, they think their religion is right. If they didn't think their religion was right, they would live their life in some other way, according to some other religion.

If the particular form of religious atheism some atheists live, happens to suggest that they don't care enough about other people, so that they feel that other people can live their life with the religion of THEIR choice, however foolish that choice of religion might seem, perhaps those atheists simply aren't very caring in an area of their lives that some others would deem an important way to care about people of other religions.

If the religious atheism of some atheists allows or demands that they openly ridicule, laugh at, or scorn people of other religions, they are acting similar to the way some people of other religions act toward them about their atheism religion.

Nobody but a vegetable lives in a religious vacuum... and maybe not even they.

Smiley

While i agree partially with what you wrote, the part that i bolded about your post is something that simply put, does not conform with the real world.

Some people hate religion, countrys, cultures,etc. Even if that hate is mistaken they still do it. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Since you made reference to the bolded part above, does that mean that you think that some people SHOULD hate religion? Or were you only stating that you believe it is impractical to think that the world could ever exist without some people hating religion?

A person who hates religion has a religion of hate against religion. This means that he hates himself or his own beliefs, though probably he doesn't realize it.

Smiley

Do I believe that some people should hate religion? The answer is no.

People have feelings, and those feeling must be directed at something, even if the direction that those feelings take is a mistaken one.

As an example, sometime ago I read an article about a trend in Japan, in which young men “marry” digital characters. While this will seem odd (at best) the truth of the matter is that people feel love, and that love is going to be directed at someone or something and we are unable to control where other people are going to direct their feelings.

Hate is the same. Hate is a feeling that is there and is going to be directed at someone or something and we are unable to control where other people are going to direct their feelings.

I hope that this clarifies my posture.


That's the problem with atheism. Atheism tends to look in the wrong places for answers.

Look to God, because God provided for people in the earth in every way that we need. He will provide in the future, and has provided for future provisions even though we don't see it.

Atheists can't do this... look to God. They don't understand What and Who God is for them.

Forty days after that He ascended into Heaven physically. He and the Father together sent the Holy Spirit to take over until the time that Jesus will return, sent back by the Father.

Do we believe NASA? I don't. lol

But I don't think the world is going to end because of an asteroid. The bible is pretty clear that there will be an antichrist who requires people to worship him, and then Jesus will come to the Earth, where everyone can see him, that can't happen if the world is destroyed by an asteroid. Only those who don't believe in the bible could believe such a story that the world would end that way.

I wouldn't be shocked if stars fell from the sky though. Stars, not asteroids.


Stars falling from the sky is Revelation terminology that figuratively explains the part of Revelation that says that the dragon's tail swept a third of the stars out of sky and flung them to the earth. Both parts are expressing the war in Heaven, between Michael and Satan. Satan convinces a third of the angels to be on his side in the battle against God. But he doesn't even get to fight God, because the archangel Michael stops him.

If you really want to know what the Revelation is talking about, look for the book, "Revelation: Concordia Popular Commentary" by Lewis A. Brighton.
