We already know you disdain the acquisition of knowledge.
This is a bit confused. An observer can measure the state of one particle, and so they know the state of the other particle "however far apart they may be".Anita Meyer said:...make a change to one particle, and that change is instantly reflected in the other(s) - however far apart they may be
So the sun doesn't "communicate" any new information to the seed? Despite weather conditions, seasons and so on, the seed "knows" how much sunlight it will receive? (??).The only thing the sun is doing here is nourishing and sustaining. The seed will continue to have within it the information that it needs to grow as a tree/plant, to in turn grow and produce more seeds that in turn grow another tree/plant (provided that there is sunshine to nourish it and keep it going). This is all the “information” that the seed contains. There is nothing new happening here. There is no “true” open system as you like to call it.
Hardly. What a king says is law.
More historically incorrect bupkis.
Europe for the most part instituted a direct copy of the Roman legal system. The Roman Empire's legal system was the first to allow representation, i.e. the modern concept of a lawyer (Julius Caesar began his career as one of these), and legal precedents based on case histories, petitions and so on.
So you're saying Julius Caesar was a "lawyer" after Rome conquered Syria and Palestine? That's when Rome first encountered the Jews and their culture as far as I know....IamJoseph said:Rome flaunted this law, and later secummbed by providence - IOW, it seccumbed to the pre-dating Hebrew law.
So does Islam and Scientology and Time Cube, doesn't make it so.
So slavery is good?
Stoning unruly children is good?
Punishing anyone who tries to convince you your religion is wrong with death is good? To say nothing of the immoral 'law' put down by god that a person's actions are not as important as their belief.
Do you think slavery is good? Given all the issues jews supposedly had with slavery in Egypt you'd think the bible wouldn't say its okay to own another human being, okay to beat them and okay to 'mark' them as property. Lovely bit of immoral hypocrisy, but then Moses wasn't a stranger to such things. He ordered the genocide of other groups, except those girls who have not known a man by lying with him, his followers got to keep them for themselves after they'd killed everyone in a particular town. 32,000 such girls. And if you consider what fraction of a population virgin females above the age of 10 represent that means if there were 32,000 such young virgin girls then the population before being killed under the orders of Moses must have been into the hundreds of thousands, if not a million.
Great example Moses makes, he complains about how his people are slaves and mistreated and then once he helps them out of slavery he commands them to do the same thing (and worse) to others?!
That's probably one of the things which made Jefferson consider Moses the most detestable character in the bible.
Seriously, that's your argument? You think Saddam's rigging of elections is an example of democracy?
The fact someone goes through the motions of an election and then ignores the result doesn't mean democracy failed, it means the leader failed democracy.
Creationist seem to have a problem with understanding the difference between doing something and appearing to do something. An example is how they think if they make their own review journals so to 'publish' creation claims then they are doing science. Putting on a lab coat doesn't make you a scientist just like holding rigged elections is not enacting democracy.
Come on, at least try to come up with something which isn't a blatant strawman.
If you're not following a 'CORRUPTED MULTITUDE' then you could be following a single corrupted person (despot, kinda like how god is) or you could follow a non-corrupted multitude or you could follow no one. You've presented a false dichotomy.
And you didn't provide any example of an election held in the bible.
Yes, Europe had things like the Crusades. We also have the more detailed recorded history of any part of the world, the US is a new born compared to Europe. During the Dark Ages, when religion was rife, there was more violence in day to day life than now.
The Middle East wouldn't be as much of a flash point if that were the case.
You haven't had 2 massive wars fought in your front garden. The only people to be killed on mainland America during all of WWII was a few people killed by a Japanese bomb which was attached to a balloon which had traversed the Pacific due to the jet stream. Britain got bombed flat. Before that we were the most powerful nation ever but war exhausted our wealth and weakened our hold on the rest of our colonies.
This whole "We're awesome, we're special, all due to our faith" self gratification so many Americans have will evaporate into denial when the East overtakes the West as industrial superpowers, its only a matter of time.
When atheist socialist China and Hindu India overtake your country and mine in economic power you'll have to come up with some excuse why your god has forsaken you. No doubt Pat Roberson will blame it on gays, abortion clinics and the ACLU. If the squinty eyed dick isn't dead by that point that is (China overtaking the US is a few decades away, assuming nothing major happens).
So why didn't god explain it to people? Why didn't god say "Hey, it'd be in your interest to get along and be lead by people you trust and whom you can hold accountable to their actions"? I suppose that'd contradict his "I'm god, shut the fuck up and do as I say!" attitude.
Nonsense. Agreeing not to kill or steal or hurt one another was already embedded in societies because if it wasn't a society would dissolve into chaos. A group of people who have formed a stable society must have agreed on basic rules to govern their interactions else they wouldn't be in a stable society. Thus the fact there were societies pre-bible means the notion of "Don't kill one another" was already in the Zeitgeist of most human cultures.
Which could occur by purely secular means. The fact a nation is powerful doesn't mean god or faith in responsible. Two of the most powerful nations of the latter half of the 20th century were the USSR and China, both officially atheist. China is still on the rise, as is India. Clearly their lack of faith in the bible isn't holding them back.
Well they didn't get that from the bible. Jeptha (however you spell it) promised god he'd sacrifice to him the first thing which came out of his house when he returned from a battle if god helped him win. He won and then his daughter was the first to greet him. Given god is supposedly all knowing he knew such a thing would happen and he didn't communicate with Jeptha, he didn't alter the battle and he didn't cause something else (like an animal) to come out of the door first. If god thinks human sacrifices are wrong, as you're implying if it was supposedly made against the law by applying bible rules to everyday life, why didn't he do something to stop that one? God clearly broke his own rule, he was responsible for the sacrifice of someone in his name.
If the US is so awesom because its so influenced by the bible and capital punishment is forbidden in the bible, so you claim, why do many US states have capital punishment? Is your god so inept at making his wishes clear that supposedly the good old US of A can't agree on the message? Surely if god is all knowing he's got the literary skills to have been able to get across his message clearly? And Islam, which is an off shoot of Judaism and which accepts the Abrahamic god and much (if not all) of the old testament, still have it. Saudi Arabic has public executions!
God sure has poor communication skills it seems.
The US ploughs money into Israel! What helped Israel do things like win the 6 day war wasn't faith, it was being armed to the teeth with the latest technology provided by other countries. If Israel didn't have military power it wouldn't have lasted very long.
You have previously been informed that this is factually incorrect.All of today's judiciary laws come from the Hebrew bible - exclusively.

Stop espousing your ridiculous lies.
So you're saying Julius Caesar was a "lawyer" after Rome conquered Syria and Palestine? That's when Rome first encountered the Jews and their culture as far as I know....
Julius Caesar was born over a century before Tiberius became a general. Don't you know your history?
Note that Rome became an Empire after Julius became a general and conquered Gaul. He was intimately involved with the existing Roman legal system which was instituted long before he was born; the legal system he became a representative of, was set up during the so-called Classical Roman period, when it was a Republic, i.e. before Gaul was conquered and Rome became an Empire.
Back when Julius was a brief, the distant lands of Syria and Palestine were pretty much an unknown culture. The Romans didn't know anything about Hebrew customs, so I guess they just relied on their own (as you do). Or they picked up some ideas from the Greeks, who colonised the Italian peninsula. But Rome was the first to have what we call lawyers (look it up).
You are making things up.
Do you have any evidence, other than your personal view of history, that Julius Caesar ever knew that there were Jews living in the Levant? How often did he comment on Jewish laws and customs when he was a lawyer? Did he say or record anything about the Jews while he was Emperor, perhaps? Do you have references?IamJoseph said:Cesaer agreed the Hebrew laws predated Rome and thus not against Rome.
Yes, and the Mongols predate the British Empire, so what?the relevant Hebrew law of legal representation predates Rome and Roman laws.
Anita Meyer said:All of nature, every organism and the cells down to the very structure of the Atom (particles) are formed from the Hebrew letters.
Going further... When you mention sounds, it boils down to "frequency" which are also formed from the Hebrew letters and their individual sounds assigned to them. Enoch called them frequency keys known in Hebrew as "ketav einayim" (eye writings).
That G-d (within the Bible) describes for us (in mathematical terms) just how He went about creating man and woman (including all living things). G-d created all things by using the Hebrew letters which themselves are formed from an increasing unit of growth that mathematicians know as Phi/Pi, Fibonacci sequence and Golden Mean Spiral (these unites of growth work hand in hand with each other). Our Universe bears these same measurements (just observe the spiral arms). This same pattern reveals itself down to the minutest form of the life cycle of atom.
So if you want to know how G-d created everything in existence, He used the Hebrew letters. But it goes much deeper than this because He goes one step further and computes for us in the very first paragraph of the Hebrew Bible (in Hebrew using Gamatria). The opening verse of the Bible: In the Beginning G-d created the Heaven and the Earth. When its Gamatria value is added up it comes out to 3.14, which is Phi/Pi.
This is only the half of it... there is so much more. I plan on turning the scientific community upside down with this knowledge.
“Flunking life”, are you kidding me? You are a simpleton, a liar, and a scam artist, which qualifies you for a big fat “F”. I'm a year older than you, which might explain your intellectual immaturity.Anita Meyer said:Referring to AlphaNumeric-I checked out your stats… your only 26. That explains your intellectual immaturity in your responses to me. As I said you are just a pin head with a PhD. You can get all A's and still flunk life!
I would be embarrassed if I made this statement and misspelled “losing”. I noticed that you haven't included SciForums on your list of websites. It does show up when you search your name, however. Notice how it’s tagged…Anita Meyer said:Typical! You are loosing the battle in wits, so you hand me over to the next person to have a try.

Rome became an Empire in about 70BC.
When did Judaic laws influence the Romans? In my version, they never influenced the Roman legal system, not one bit. It never happened, they were separate cultures until the Tiberian conquest. dude.
Caesar was a politician and general of the late Roman republic, who greatly extended the Roman empire before seizing power and making himself dictator of Rome, paving the way for the imperial system.
Yes you've said that before.What I am saying is that all world accepted laws are contained in the Hebrew bible - exclusively
Yes you've said that before.
And been shown to be incorrect.
No, incorrect.You mean unacceptable.
No, incorrect.
As in false, wrong, not true.
WTF is a "world law"?Pls name one world accepted law from elsewhere.
Incorrect. As has been pointed out.Pls don't talk about parking rules again - these are extensions of a primal law.
