You said to seek, I sought. I found more than what man has recorded in the Bible and I found some of the hidden wisdom of the Bible, and I learned of sacred balance. You said to knock, and myriad doors opened to me: both earthly and spiritual doors and the doors of my mind and doors of...

How interesting that you should say so. Not long after those guests had left I was working on yet another room's restoration, and in a happy mood appraising what I was just finishing, I said aloud, "Well, Mrs. McMinn, how do you like it?" And no, I didn't get any answer, just laughed at my own...

Fall of Witchcraft: Legends of a Fall Perhaps there are no need for "legends" yet of a fall of a golden age of wise-craft because the "legends of a fall" are recorded history instead of distant myths. I am frankly surprised no one made this observation. It fell with hanging, burning and...

Sumerian Myth Revisited as Oracle Some of you may have read these who read the poetry section in the Lounge. but since they are based upon an ancient Sumerian legend of Lillith, who also appears in Rabbinic writings, I thought you might find it interesting here. In the ancient religions of...

There are several places in the Bible where swords from the mouth are mentioned. Among others Ps. 57:4 "their tongue is a sharp sword" Jer. 12:12 "the sword of the lord shall devour" Rev 1:16 & 19:15 "out of his mouth went a sharp sword" Interesting question comes to my mind: Does anyone...

You are right in that I am not in the least afraid. There was never any sinister element to it, just an arousal of curiosity.In fact when my husband and I first began to smell it, we tried to think of every rational explanation, and coming up with none, we began to rather ignore it, and stopped...

God, GUT, TOE & Godel I makes me chuckle that after all the hoopla, a "Higher Consciousness" ordering the universe seems to be currently taking a front seat in quantum cosmology. :cool: After all the argument against there being a God, after all those people chose to think of science as God...

Vajradhara: A quick aside: I cannot resist, with my love of word play: In the no boundary proposal, it seems natural to adopt the principle of p-brane democracy. All p-branes are created equal. I completely agree, I simply spell it differently. :)

Thank you Brian, These are exactly the sort of answer(s) I needed. And I appreciate your response. It has been quite a while since I studied geology, and I wanted to refresh old stuff and, in part, to get some up-to-date knowledge without having to spend hours looking for it. As I said it...

I have read both books with great interest. While every thing that begins must end as you say,(like our bodies) also something that is eternal has neither ending nor beginning. this is said in both. A scientist would put the words differently but the meaning similar, by saying that energy...

Vajradhara: I like your post As a newcomer to this board, I am trying to go back and read many posts to see what the others think, and how they think. The last post of your prior to the defining of religion and science ones was very well put. I agree that western science is finally coming...

Namaste, back at ya! :) I like your summary as well. Perhaps a four line summary would do, and we can collaborate? :)

Good post, IMHO, because you are beyond either/or thinking, and taking a more appropriate whole-brained approach to your thinking. I congratulate you! ( But who am I to judge when congrats are due anyway?) :) My question is rather philosophical, and directed to those who believe in "Big...

Maybe that poor man would be relieved to see my musings! ;) After all if earth is getting larger as the population does, it solves his problem! I think humans are part of nature not the rulers thereof. I also think that nature is alive in a greater sense than each thing, similar to the...

The Ghost(?) in my House Here's a true story for you. Is it a ghost? I live in a house built in 1912 by a man named McMinn for his wife and himself. The house was sound when we purchased it, but needed restoration. We completely restored the kitchen space to its original layout and added...

Begging pardon.... Sorry for the duplicate post I did this by error as I learn to use the site. This one stayed on as if it had not been posted, so I thought I had forgotten to submit. Others have disappeared somehow... I will get the hang of this soon, though, I'm sure. :confused:

Exactly so, and that is in itself telling... :) But the site I gave is rather interesting and does give a brief summary of facts regarding the history of the beginnings of the Theory of Evolution, and the credentials of the persons involved in its genesis. It's well worth a quick scanning to see...

Brian, I should have said: The treatise I refer to is on the page of the site itself, not in the book by Darwin.

I have read about half of a certain book I think is named "Voyage of the Beagle" and written by Charles Darwin himself. It's a rather long-in-the-tooth book and not written to support his theories - it's more of a general musing and collection of observations. I can't say I found it particularly...

One more prob for Saganistic thinkers: In order for a person (and life) to actually become a controlled experiment, there has to be one who performs the experiment and controls all facets thereof. This automatically posits G-d. :D
