I wonder if anyone was born on 6:06 on 6th June 1966?
Then should we be looking at the base of his/her hairline |

But then as we know already, Spider makes up rules as he goes along.
I stated three obvious contradictions, and they were not knocked down by fact, conjecture was used. But when conjecture is used for the rebuttal, Spider throws out the argument. You really are better letting him win his little game. |

Hi Tribo - "WOW" what did that mean? It was just my usual wordy attempt at making the cognition processes ignite in some minds, once again. Hi Voil - how nice to see you from time to time. If there was any inspiration it came from that old commercial (the sizzling egg in a frying pan with the words, "this is your brain on...") And finally the words "A brain is a terrible thing to waste!" So I keep trying to save an egg, somewhere. Hey - philosophy 101 this coming semester, I can't wait. So, then Red, how do you like your eggs in the morning? |

God is either a most powerful and indefinite abstraction and mystery, ... or we're all barking at a most pathetic perversion of god. ... or you are all barking mad and the imaginary friend is just that! Imaginary! |

As I said, dispose of loads of bent twisted metal really quickly, blow up a 3rd building and start an illegal war & Im right next to you screaming "conspiracy!" & helping you burning your bra! (or is that something else?)
This one, I have met some of the crew on Ballard's treasure hunter, and as a small boy was fascinated by the story. There was evidence to say that a fire was raging in the boiler room before she left the UK and this was also part of the conspiracy. Her sister ship the Britannic was recently dived on by a bunch of yee-har divers from Europe, as she was sitting in 120m (370ft) of water in Greece. Ballard also found this and got some great video footage to determine what sunk her. I also know some of the yee-har boys who did this ... its an amazing trilogy of White Star's history. Love it!!! |

I have been very lucky.
I see the beauty of the underwater world every day as a diving instructor. But there are moments that just fill your heart, I agree. One such moment is seeing a mother and child asleep as the sun comes up. Just sitting and watching for an hour as they both come around from their slumbers - overwhelming. |

If they were trying to make the Olympic into the Titanic with the plan to sink it and get the insurance, it only follows and makes sense that they would be smart enough to change the bell and the plates of the two ships. Duh! These people aren't stupid, and neither are the insurance companies. JB Im all for conspiracy theories, and I love them, but in the early 1900s they had not found a way of checking the validity of the ship at 1.2km deep !!!! While I tend to agree that its not difficult for insurance companies to catch on quite quickly nowadays, but 100 years ago? It took 80 years for us to find it, get down there and video it. The Olympic was the smaller one of the three ships Titanic was the middle one and the Britannic was the heaviest one (amendments were made after the Titanic sank) In August of 1991, Dr Robert Ballard brought back proof from the wrecked Titanic to prove that it was indeed the Titanic. All of White Star Line's ships have a special symbol and number punched on all of the steel. After examining the hull the explorers saw the unmistakable number that clearly identified it as the Titanic. |

I believe that the Titanic was actually the Olympic. I believe that Dr Robert Ballard, the man who found the Titanic, videod the Titanic, found the bell of the Titanic, brought up plates from the Titanic will wholeheartedly disagree with you. |

Jacob. The lineage of Luke is the maternal lineage - and does not state that Joseph was the father of Jesus - but was the wife of Mary. Why is the lineage of Luke the maternal one? |

Repetitions and contradictions are understandable for a throw-together collection of documents, but not for some carefully constructed treatise, reflecting a well thoughtout plan.
Of the various methods I've seen to "explain" these, so far; 1. "That is to be taken metaphorically." In other words, what is written is not what is meant. I find this entertaining, especially for those who decide what ISN'T to be taken as other than the absolute WORD OF GOD (which just happens to agree with the particular thing they happen to want) 2. "There was more there than...." This is used when one verse says "there was a" and another says "there was b," so they decide there was "A" AND "B" which is said nowhere. This makes them happy, since it doesn't say there WASN'T "A+B." But it doesn't say there was "A+B+little green apples." This is often the same crowd that insists theirs is the ONLY possible interpretation (i.e., only "A") and the only way. I find it entertaining they they don't mind adding to verses or extrapolating things that might have happened. 3. "It has to be understood in context." I find this tedious because it comes from the same crowd that likes to push likewise extracted verses that support their particular view. Often it is just one of the verses in the contradictory set which is supposed to be taken as THE TRUTH when, if you add more to it, it suddenly becomes "out of context." How many of you have gotten JUST John 3:16 (taken out of all context) thrown at you? 4. There was just a copying/writing error." OF COURSE THERE WAS!!! ITS 2000 YEARS OLD FFS!!! This is sometimes called a "transcription error," as in where one number was meant and an incorrect one was copied down. Or what was "quoted" wasn't really what was said, but just what the author thought was said. ... and that's right--I'm not disagreeing with events, I'm disagreeing with what is WRITTEN. Which is apparently agreed that it is incorrect. This is an interesting misdirection to the problem that the Bible itself is wrong. 5. "That is a miracle." Naturally. That is why it is stated as fact. 6. "God works in mysterious ways." A useful dodge when the speaker doesn't understand the conflict between what the Bible SAYS and what they WISH it said. All-in-all, I knew this contest would ultimately not gain anything. The standard tactics that would be used are the typical misdirection of the "fors" (which allows extrapolation and assumption) and the logical responses from the "againsts" (which are not allowed to use assumtion of even the most logical things) Then we have to deal with the temper tantrums of a bible bully, so, people, Im going to depart this thread, realising that a hollow victory is not worth the protons it took to produce it, and Im going to reorganise my sock drawer. Hope you all slept well One more blinding contradiction that I will leave you to debate over ... Who is the father of Joseph? MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli. |

From the BBC
A US study of text messages suggests the theory that we are all linked six steps to anyone else may be right - though seven seems more accurate.
Microsoft researchers studied the addresses of 30bn text messages sent during a single month in 2006. Any two people on average are linked by seven or fewer acquaintances, they say. The theory of six degrees of separation has long captured people's imagination - notably inspiring a popular 1993 film - but had recently seemed discredited. One of the researchers on the Microsoft Messenger project, Eric Horvitz, said he had been shocked by the results. "What we're seeing suggests there may be a social connectivity constant for humanity," he was quoted as saying by the Washington Post newspaper. "People have had this suspicion that we are really close. But we are showing on a very large scale that this idea goes beyond folklore." Urban myth? The database used by Mr Horvitz and his colleague Jure Leskovec covered all of the Microsoft Messenger instant-messaging network, or roughly half of the world's instant-messaging traffic, in June 2006. For the purposes of the study, two people were considered to be acquaintances if they had sent one another a text message. Examining the minimum chain lengths it would take to connect all the users in the database, they found the average length was 6.6 steps and that 78% of the pairs could be connected in seven links or fewer. The idea of six degrees of separation was conceived by US academic Stanley Milgram, after experiments in which he asked people to pass a letter only to others they knew by name. ... or it could be a "Deliverance" moment with the rednecks ..

Ok ... here's two ... you can pick either one, and we will run, walk or just amble with it.
First one Judas died how? "And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself." (MAT 27:5) "And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out." (ACT 1:18) Second one When did Baasha die? 1KI 16:6-8 26th year of the reign of Asa 2CH 16:1 36th year of the reign of Asa |
