[quote who="Leauki" reply="678" id="3042024"]Another is the fact that a word that means "land" has been translated first into "terra" (Latin for "land") and finally into "earth" (not the correct translation for "terra").[/quote]I am no scientist for sure but if one covers all the "LAND", that just leaves out the parts filled with water (are there more kinds of surface areas) so ... did God drain them to flood the "LAND" or what?

If you don't, then why the difference between an immature human without all its parts established yet? Two thousand plus years ago ... how were they to know wha
tetleytea, good analogy ... but we were talking about the one God here. How could His changing anything (for whatever reason floats His boat), be considered by any of the faithful as anything besides the will of God. Anyone or anything that cannot sit back and re-evaluate their own blunders is not an admirable manager, father, human ... or God. The miscreants that compiled the bible from fiction may not appreciate God changing things … but the rest of humanity sure would!!! Lul
From the religious perspective, God is perfect, all-knowing, all-powerful and infallible … right??? OK … God created everything we can see and everything we cannot see, humm … why can’t we see the big picture? Then this infallible God created “ innumerable spirits called angels ” (from what?) that are superior to man … who doesn’t exist yet. So God needs a staff huh? Somehow this God flaw

I suppose most power struggles eventually brake down to $$$'s in the end analysis. But my interests here for the most part, are the hopes of keeping any of this theological nonsense out of the public school system. This is probably the only corruption left that hasn’t been experimented on with on our children. God (just kidding) please spare them this additional handicap as they seem to be learning little enough now that is practical.
myfist0 hahaha ... best short answer I have heard in a while, accolades! It is so difficult … no impossible to talk to the hypocritical and hateful ‘Happy People’. I guess in all that bliss the truth is bound to become unimportant hehehe.
What in the world is wrong with your analytical skills? The captain said and I will quote it because it is so difficult to listen for one’s self:” I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11, the flight number 175 and flight 93 the 757 that allegedly went down at Shanksville and flight 175 is the aircraft that’s a … alleged to hit the south tower ” And all you had to do is listen for 20 se
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="406" id="3041182"]At least the pilot (assuming he was legit) had some tangential connection to something related to 9/11 - personally having piloted 2 of the aircraft types involved.[/quote]Wrong, he stated he flew two of the actual planes supposed to have been used on 9/11. (Listen to the first six words in the clip, hahaha.) Got to be a plus in his corner I would expect. I don’t care about Moore or ‘his opinions’. When I watch a movie directed by
The Wedge, a fund raising document from the Center for Science and Culture that set forth the group's (IDC) "Governing Goals": * To defeat scientific materialism and its destructive moral, cultural and political legacies. * To replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God. What other scientific FIELD has been attacked with such fervor by the theologians? If science is bad … why isn’t
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="402" id="3041086"]It's also interesting that you think Michael Moore has a 'message'. If you're going to argue that we must perforce give credence to the opinions of 'experts' like the 'pilot', what is Moore's expertise in any area having anything remotely to do with 9/11?[/quote]What does Moore need experience for ... an opinion, a message or a theory? How many film producers do you know who are experts with their masterpieces? Ar

Daiwa, what a surprise! Thanks (I think) for at least taking me seriously for a change. But, I started out with an expert of my own (I sure hope he is, cannot find much about him though). If I am not mistaken, he was talking about the Pentagon bombing not the twin towers. I will stipulate that those attacks (towers) could have been flown by novices with adequate training (I’m sure that has not been established though) but there are other problems with this idea than just driving the pla
ElanaAhova, it isn't a matter of counting ... it is simply a matter of reading and remembering after all you still need to progress through 6, 7 and 9 to get to "A" in hexadecimal too, hahaha. How about a brain fart as the simplest explanation?
Smoothseas, in your patriotic fervor, you seem to be willing to give the 9/11 miscreants TBOTD (why???) but you harangue the American pilots who do have the knowledge and experience … why again, just for an argument? I am looking for answers from you as the ‘questions’ you ‘ask’ do not appear sincere. Oh I forgot hahaha, they had “The Autopilot(s)” so they didn’t need to know what they were doing … now I understand??? This is not
Autopilot my ass! Just because people without experience feel they actually "KNOW" how an autopilot works, doesn't mean very much if they really don't know. GPS and automobiles are your ‘proof’, hahaha. Maybe you could explain how this marvelous thing works then. Asking questions, yea right: "Why did the pilot come to this conclusion?", "What was his expertise (as opposed to ours (mine anyway)?" and “Did he actually fly two of the planes used on 9/11?” are reas

Ever wonder how that all comes about for newcomers? Everything else in our lives is produced through science in one way or another, from man’s medicine, surgery, inventiveness and accumulated knowledge … gads … but we are too stupid to study or understand any time besides the present. I guess the faithful missed out
Smoothseas, why is it incumbent for me to prove everything ... when all you have to do is mention something and we are supposed to take your surmise at face value and accept it. You obviously didn't visit the link I provided or you would have at least understood this pilot was not the only one. How stupid it would be for me to quote all 50 of them for you … why don’t you actually look for yourself … instead of charging me to do it for you. And I called their expertise
[quote who="Smoothseas" reply="394" id="3040366"] Who is to say what he is saying is even true? You can plug a set of coordinates into the autopilot and it will bring the plane right to the destination. Commercial airliners can even be landed these days using automation so the entire video clip is easily disputed.[/quote]Is that what happened? I think you miss the whole point of the clip. At least I
Smoothseas: Are we done prewar now … I just don’t know what else to say about it? But for motive … how good is going to war for America and where in the world would the USG want a war (control, power) other than the Middle East (oil)? You know, it is not any one thing alone that is wrong with the 911 status quo … although any one should be enough to discredit things. The following clip just brings up a difficulty I have had from the beginning. [video]http://
