    New Scientific Theory Suggests Consciousness Does Not End at Death.

    I'm a little disappointed. The article references H.G. Wells. There's another article on the same mag titled 256 year old man reveals the secrets to his longevity!

    The Truth Contest

    Be warned that one of those files that appears to be a pdf is actually pdf.html and contains executable code. One of them is actually a readable .pdf document. If you were to 'double click' on the pdf.html you'd be running some sort of code, not just passively reading a document. You have to...

    I don't understand why everything is in zip files and the information isn't in html.

    I'm a christian, but I go by 'Christian Liberal', because I don't want to be bound by the strictures of other Christians. I was born Christian and then I have been born-again, baptized, re-baptised, de-trinitized, re-trinitized, isolated and universalized. At your service! I think I visited...

    Hi, AEmilia Gratia. I have an identity over there, too. This forum is a little less strict about the directories. Other than that there seem to be lot of similarities. edit: A small suggestion. If you want to find out the most recent posts you have to click two things. First click 'Recent...

    The Opening and Unsealing of an Ancient Book

    I don't see how you get that from that verse. It says nothing like "There will be faulty interpretations." It says completely different things. Give me a puff!

    The Opening and Unsealing of an Ancient Book

    That particular description will eventually fit many historical events and already fits multiple ones. It has sold many books and wasted the time of many people. "“At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with...

    my 'baggage' with Sunday School and Preachers...

    As a child I had sunday school teachers who: used felt props, played the accordion, played the violin, used ventriloquism and who also did skits and films. Outside Sunday School I was probably one of the last students in the USA to be spanked by a teacher. Lucky me!

    Cats

    Cats only pretend to need four feet. They actually only need one. The other three are for fun.

    The Daily Show - Reza Aslan

    You can already get a certificate from MIT if you go through their courseware. Its technically almost like a bachelor's. I think the thing that is of concern which colleges do provide, is they provide a conscience, ironically. Its their tenure system that protects profs when they speak out...

    The Daily Show - Reza Aslan

    I think college should move to an online format. Campuses should stop growing. They plan on infinite expansion and are always buying land, asking for more grants, making it difficult for students to get from one classroom to another. They put expensive food between classrooms that are...

    One (ex?) Jew's journey to not believing the Torah

    Aw, he's probably around. If you say his name three times in a row he appears and says hurm hurm.

    One (ex?) Jew's journey to not believing the Torah

    I'm surprised we're in the Judaism thread giving opinions and we're not Jews. That used to be a no-no what with the walled garden and all. Things have changed.

    One (ex?) Jew's journey to not believing the Torah

    Interesting article. I think that strict literal interpretations of the Tanach probably are due to the changing times and many people dying. I tend to think that's how a lot of fundamentalism is made possible. Its like that old War of the Worlds broadcast. Some people tuned into it on their...

    True. The dedication required to be academic is impressive enough to give them some clout, or at least it should.
