- Speaking before the Pentecostal
church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a
messianic affair in which the United States could act out
the will of the Lord. .... “Pray
for our military men and women who are striving to do what
is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our
national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a
task that is from God,”-

Ecclesiastes 3:8
declares, “there is…a time to love and a time to
hate, a time for war and a time for peace. In a
world filled with sin, hatred, and evil (Romans
3:10-18), war is inevitable. Some wars are more “just”
than others, but all wars are ultimately the result
of sin. Christians should not desire war, but
neither are Christians to oppose the government God
has placed in authority over them (Romans 13:1-4; 1
Peter 2:17). The most
important thing we can be doing in a time of war is
to be praying for godly
wisdom for our leaders,
praying for the safety
of our military, praying for quick resolution to the
conflict, and praying for minimum casualties on both
sides of the conflict
(Philippians 4:6-7). GotQuestions |

- I also learned that he was
seriously trying to become a Huckabee delegate.
Huckabee strongly agreed with Bush's Iraq war
policies. (right: Chuck Norris and friends)
He
certainly has the credentials to be an influential person
in that arena. He is very persuasive, charismatic
and apparently very political. If he likes Bush, he
probably likes Zionists like Sharon, Olmert, Netanyahu and
Hagee (CUFI).
- Over 5 million people have been
killed by the American military machine since WWII. Two
million in North and South Korea; two million in Vietnam
and now 1 million in Iraq. American losses
were less than 150,000. Ratio of American deaths to
the citizens in countries we've killed consistently fall
into a 100:1 range. There never was a serious
threat; all evidence of cold-blooded war profiteering from
an adept killing machine slaughtering defenseless people
with overwhelming force. All this aided by a
corporate news media that foments the lies... ie CNN / Fox
on the 'shock and awe' in the invasion / occupation of
Iraq.

- The ties between the Zionists,
neocons, and the Bush administration also define this
phenomena. In the recent mini-war in Gaza, 1500
people were killed by a massive bombing campaign by
Israel. The American press accomplished their
pro-Israel mission by conveniently ignoring Israel's
blockade and subsequent starvation of the people of
Gaza. Israel said it was to stop the Qassam rockets
but everyone knows those rockets are toys compared to the
power of the US-enabled Israeli military killing
machine. The Qassam rockets have become the symbol
of Palestinian resolve against a Hitler-like holocaust of
the Palestinians. If you compare maps of this
Middle Eastern area between the 1950's and now it is clear
to see that Israel is merely on a imperialistic land-grab
campaign. Fortunately their is a small but effective
anti-occupation, antiviolence sector of the Israeli
population that somewhat checks the power of the Israeli
Zionist
murderers.

Anthony
"Tony" Campolo
(born 1935) is a well-known, American pastor,
author, sociologist, and public speaker known for
challenging evangelical Christians (Wikipedia)
by illustrating how their faith can offer solutions
in a world of complexity. With his liberal
political and social attitudes, he has been a
major proponent for progressive thought
and reform in the evangelical community.
He has become a leader of the movement called "Red-Letter
Christian",
putting the emphasis on the reported words of Jesus,
found in many Bible publications in a red font.
- "I have
serious problems with fundamentalist Christians and
their creationist theories. Although I believe that
scripture is divinely inspired and infallible, I
have a hard time going along with the belief that
the whole creation process occurred in six
twenty-four hour days. My skepticism is due, in
part, to the fact that the Bible says that the sun
wasn’t created until the fourth day of creation
(Genesis 1:16-19). I have a hard time figuring how
twenty-four hour days could have been measured
before that."
- Campolo was the
subject of an informal heresy
hearing in 1985 brought about by several assertions
in his 1983 book A Reasonable Faith,
particularly his claim that, "Jesus is actually
present in each other person." The book became
a hot button issue, and the controversy caused
Campus Crussade for Christ and Youth for
Christ to block a planned speaking engagement
by Campolo.

Liberation Theology
- Liberation theology
is a school of theology within Christianity,
particularly in the Roman Catholic Church. It
emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to
the poor and oppressed, particularly through
political activism. Its theologians consider sin the
root source of poverty, recognizing sin as
exploitive capitalism and class war by the rich
against the poor.
Liberation
Theologians use political theory, primarily
Socialism, to help understand how to combat poverty.
Some elements of certain liberation theologies have
been rejected by the Catholic Church. [1] At its
inception, liberation theology was predominantly
found in the Catholic Church after the Second
Vatican Council. It is often cited as a form of
Christian socialism, and it has enjoyed widespread
influence in Latin America and among the Jesuits,
although its influence diminished within Catholicism
after liberation theologians were harshly admonished
by Pope John Paul II (leading to the curtailing of
its growth). Wikipedia

Ratzinger,
Pope Benedict, Ultra-Conservative "Ratzinger's
ultra-conservatism made him an attractive figure to
the Vatican. He was made a cardinal shortly after
being appointed bishop of Munich. He was strongly
hostile to students protesting the Vietnam War in
the 1960s, calling them "ideological
terrorists." He was eventually appointed head
of the Inquisition (Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith), soon overseeing a record number of
condemnations by that tribunal. One of his
priorities as head of the Inquisition was to ban and
destroy the Christian liberation movement that had
surged in Latin America in protest against the
Catholic hierarchy's support of fascist
and ultra-right dictatorships." Counterpunch

Genocide,

The Armenian Genocide
(Armenian: Turkish: Ermeni Soykirimi), also known as
the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and,
by Armenians, the Great Calamity refers to the
deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide[1])
of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire
during and just after World War I. It was
characterised by the use of massacres, and the use
of deportations involving forced marches under
conditions designed to lead to the death of the
deportees, with the total number of Armenian deaths
generally held to have been between one and
one-and-a-half million.[2] Other ethnic groups were
similarly attacked by the Empire during this period,
including Assyrians and Greeks, and some scholars
consider the events to be part of the same policy of
extermination.[3]

Failure

Failure of any ID research to be

Thumb
"Iowa Citizens for Science, a grassroots group
dedicated to improving public education, feels that
the Discovery
Institute
and Guillermo Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the
creationist think tank, are circumventing the normal
scientific process to promote their religious
ideology. Gonzalez and the DI have announced plans
to sue Iowa State University, asserting that ISU
violated Dr. Gonzalez’ First Amendment rights in
denying his tenure
application.
... The claim that his
rights were violated seems odd to many observers.
“How can Gonzalez complain if his work on ID was
considered?” wonders Dr. Tara Smith, president of
Iowa Citizens for Science and assistant professor of
epidemiology at the University of Iowa. “If
intelligent design is scientific, his department is
entitled judge his work in that field. If ID is not
science, it’s fair to question why their faculty
member is spending so much of his time and resources
on it. The claims of persecution issuing from the
Discovery Institute and Dr. Gonzalez require that
intelligent design be both science and religion.
This isn’t about science, it’s about politics.”

Dominionism
Is a central core of Evangelical
politics, but rarely mentioned. Wikipedia
Dominionism
describes, in several distinct ways, a tendency
among some conservative politically-active
Christians, especially in the United States of
America, to seek influence or control over secular
civil government through political action—aiming
either at a nation governed by Christians, or a
nation governed by a conservative Christian
understanding of biblical law. The use and
application of this terminology is a matter of
controversy.
Rushdoony,
Father of Dominionism. J. A. Thompson
has cited the biblical texts governing godly
warfare. First, no such war could be conducted apart
from God’s word or orders (1 Sam. 28:5-6; 30:7-8;
2 Sam. 5:19, 22-23). Second, there had to be a
consecration to the task by the men of

Many transitional
beings
existed between the presence of apes and modern
humas.
enlarge Wikipedia
The scientific
study of human evolution encompasses the development
of the genus Homo, but usually involves studying
other hominids and hominines as well, such as
Australopithecus. "Modern humans" are
defined as the Homo sapiens species, of which the
only extant subspecies is known as Homo sapiens
sapiens. Homo sapiens idaltu (roughly translated as
"elder wise human"), the other known
subspecies, is now extinct.[9] The Cro-Magnons, a
variety of early Homo sapiens, are also extinct.
Homo neanderthalensis, which became extinct 30,000
years ago, has sometimes been classified as a
subspecies, "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis",
but genetic studies now suggest a divergence of the
Neanderthal species from Homo sapiens about 500,000
years ago[10]. Similarly, the few specimens of Homo
rhodesiensis have also occasionally been classified
as a subspecies, but this is not widely accepted.
Anatomically modern humans first appear in the
fossil record in Africa about 130,000 years ago,
although studies of molecular biology give evidence
that the approximate time of divergence from the
common ancestor of all modern human populations was
200,000 years ago.

Isaac
Newton
probably did more to advance the art of war than any
other person of his time, because he did more than
anyone else to advance science. "....
Isaac Newton was
also highly religious (though unorthodox), producing
more work on Biblical hermeneutics than the natural
science he is remembered for.
Historian Stephen
D. Snobelen says of Newton, "Isaac Newton was a
heretic. But like Nicodemus, the secret disciple of
Jesus, he never made a public declaration of his private
faith – which the orthodox would have deemed extremely
radical. He hid his faith so well that scholars are
still unravelling his personal beliefs."[19]
Snobelen concludes that Newton was at least a Socinian
sympathizer (he owned and had thoroughly read at least
eight Socinian books), possibly an Arian and almost
certainly an anti-Trinitarian.[19] In an age notable for
its religious intolerance there are few public
expressions of Newton's radical views, most notably his
refusal to take holy orders and his refusal, on his
death bed, to take the sacrament when it was offered to
him.[19] " Wikipedia

Priests
Wikipedia
The term Catholic sex abuse cases refers to a
series of scandals in various countries arising
from allegations made in the first decade of the
21st century about abuse of minors under the age
of 18 by certain Catholic parish priests. The
allegations covered events alleged to have
occurred over a period ranging from the middle to
late 20th century. Allegations have been made
against parish priests under diocesan control and
members of Roman Catholic religious
orders.
... Approximately
80% of the priests involved in sexual abuse of
minors were located in the United States.(4,392
priests, as Church's estimate that no more than
5000 priests worldwide) Although allegations
of clergy sexual abuse have surfaced in several
countries around the world, there have been no
comprehensive studies which compare the relative
incidence of sexual abuse in different areas.
However, there is a general perception that the
issue has been most prominent in the United
States, and then in Australia, Canada and
Ireland.[13]
..... Number of
allegations The number of alleged abuses increased
in the 1960s, peaked in the 1970s, declined in the
1980s and by the 1990s had returned to the levels
of the 1950s.[14]
... Of the 11,000
allegations reported by bishops in the John Jay
study, 3300 were not investigated because the
allegations were made after the accused priest had
died. 6700 allegations were substantiated, leaving
1000 which could not be
substantiated.
.... According to
the John Jay report, one-third of the accusations
were made in the years 2002-3. Another third of
the allegations were reported between 1993 and
2001.[14] LIST

- The Khazars
were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who dominated the
Pontic steppe and the North Caucasus from the 7th to
the 10th century CE. The name 'Khazar'[1] seems to
be tied to a Turkic verb form meaning
"wandering".
... In the 7th century
CE, the Khazars founded an independent Khaganate in
the Northern Caucasus along the Caspian Sea.
Although the Khazars were initially Tengri
shamanists, many of them converted to Christianity,
Islam, and other religions. During the eighth or
ninth century the state religion became Judaism. At
their height, the Khazar khaganate and its
tributaries controlled much of what is today
southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, large portions of the Caucasus
(including Circassia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and parts
of Georgia), and the Crimea.
.... Between 965 and 969, their
sovereignty was broken by Sviatoslav I of Kiev, and
they became a subject people of Kievan Rus'.
Gradually displaced by the Rus, the Kipchaks, and
later the conquering Mongol Golden Horde, the
Khazars largely disappeared as a culturally distinct
people. However there is a theory, argued in The
Thirteenth Tribe that the dispersed Khazars are
actually the ancestors of most Ashkenazi Jews, i.e.
Jews whose origin is in Russia and
Europe. Wikipedia

Indeed, the teaching of evolution has become a part
of the nation's culture wars, manifest most recently
in the 2008 presidential campaign, particularly in
the attention paid to Republican vice presidential
nominee Sarah Palin's statements in favor of public
schools teaching creation science or intelligent
design along with evolution. And while evolution may
not attain the same importance as such culture war
issues as abortion or same-sex marriage, the topic

The
Family, The Fellowship, Christian power in
Washington
Alternet:
What at first seemed like a series of public sex
scandals turned out to have a connective thread. The
main protagonists (Governor Mark Sanford of South
Carolina, Senator John Ensign of Nevada, and former
Arkansas Congressman Chip Pickering) were all one-time
residents of C Street and members of the Family,
otherwise known as the Fellowship. As the summer
unfurled, the “three amigos” gave mainstream media
outlets plenty to talk about, and this highly secretive
and powerful right-wing group got a lot of exposure. And
then, as is the wont of the media, the story of C Street
disappeared from the headlines.
... In this exclusive Religion
Dispatches interview, Jeff Sharlet, author of 2008’s
The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of
American Power, talks about The Family and its summer of
scandal, the organization’s tarnished present and
future possibilities, and why the mainstream media had
such a difficult time dealing with the group’s unusual
political/religious beliefs.
...
First off, tell us three critical things we should know
about The Family?
... Jeff Sharlet: The Family is the
oldest and arguably most influential religious
conservative organization in Washington, a “brotherhood”
comprised mostly of politicians such as Senator Jim
Inhofe, Senator Tom Coburn, Senator Sam Brownback,
Senator Jim DeMint, and, now infamously, Senator John
Ensign, Governor Mark Sanford, and former congressman
Chip Pickering, all of whom turned to The Family to help
cover up sex scandals this past summer. The reason you
may not have heard about the group is that it doesn’t
want you to hear about it—“the more invisible you
can make your organization,” preaches leader Douglas
Coe, “the
more influence it will have.” Alternet
It's that theology that led The Family, over the years,
to aid and abet such dictators as Haiti's Francois
"Papa Doc" Duvalier, Indonesia's Haji Muhammad
Suharto, Chile's Augusto Pinochet, and the brutal
Angolan rebel Jonas Savimbi, who among them killed more
than a million people.
.... The Family seems to be fond of
"revolutions" of a particular type: Those that
overthrow socialists or any kind of leftists, even
those, like Chile's Salvador Allende, who were
democratically elected. As Jeff Sharlet explains in his
masterful book, The Family, "God chooses his key
men according to His concerns, not ours
..." .... Other
Family members, identified as such by Sharlet, loom
large in the health care debate. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.,
said right-wingers could "break" Obama by
defeating health care reform. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
told NBC's David Gregory that members of Congress had
"earned" the threats of violence they were
receiving at town-hall meetings focused on the health
care bill. |

Generally, if a structure pre-dates another
structure in evolutionary terms, then it also
appears earlier than the other in the embryo.
Species which have an evolutionary relationship
typically share the early stages of embryonal
development and differ in later stages. Examples
include: The backbone, the common structure among
all vertebrates such as fish, reptiles and mammals,
appears as one of the earliest structures laid out
in all vertebrate embryos. ... The cerebrum in
humans, the most sophisticated part of the brain,
develops last. ... If a structure
|
vanished
in an evolutionary sequence, then one can often observe
a corresponding structure appearing at one stage during
embryonic development, only to disappear or become
modified in a later stage. Examples include: Whales,
which have evolved from land mammals, don't have legs,
but tiny remnant leg bones lie buried deep in their
bodies. During embryonal development, leg extremities
first occur, then recede. Similarly, whale embryos have
hair at one stage (like all mammalian embryos), but lose
most of it later. ... The common ancestor of humans and
monkeys had a tail, and human embryos also have a tail
at one point; it later recedes to form the coccyx. ...
The swim bladder in fish presumably evolved from a sac
connected to the gut, allowing the fish to gulp air. In
most modern fish, this connection to the gut has
disappeared. In the embryonal development of these fish,
the swim bladder originates as an outpocketing of the
gut, and is later disconnected from the gut.

In the natural sciences, abiogenesis,
or "chemical evolution", is the study of
how life on Earth could have arisen from inanimate
matter. It should not be confused with evolution,
which is the study of how groups of living things
change over time. Amino acids, often called
"the building blocks of life", can form
via natural chemical reactions unrelated to life,
as demonstrated in the Miller–Urey experiment
and similar experiments, which involved simulating
the conditions of the early Earth. In all living
things, these amino acids are organized into
proteins, and the construction of these proteins
is mediated by nucleic acids. Which of these
organic molecules first arose and how they formed
the first life is the focus of abiogenesis.
... The first living things on Earth
are thought to be single cell prokaryotes, perhaps
evolved from protobionts.[1] The oldest ancient
fossil microbe-like objects are dated to be 3.5 Ga
(billion years old), approximately one billion
years after the formation of the Earth
itself.[2][3] By 2.4 Ga, the ratio of stable
isotopes of carbon, iron and sulfur shows the
action of living things on inorganic minerals and
sediments[4][5] and molecular biomarkers indicate
photosynthesis, demonstrating that life on Earth
was widespread by this
time.[6][7]
... On the other hand, the exact
sequence of chemical events that led to the first
nucleic acids is not known. Several hypotheses
about early life have been proposed, most notably
the iron-sulfur world theory (metabolism without
genetics) and the RNA world hypothesis (RNA
life-forms). more |

The existence of anthropomorphic images and
half-human, half-animal images in the Upper
Paleolithic period may further indicate that Upper
Paleolithic humans were the first people to believe
in a pantheon of gods or supernatural beings, though
such images may instead indicate shamanistic
practices similar to those of contemporary tribal
societies. The earliest known undisputed burial of a
shaman (and by extension the earliest undisputed
evidence of shamans and shamanic practices) dates
back to the early Upper Paleolithic era (c. 30,000
BC) in what is now the Czech Republic. However,
during the early Upper Paleolithic it was probably
more common for all members of the band to
participate equally and fully in religious
ceremonies, in contrast to the religious traditions
of later periods when religious authorities and
part-time ritual specialists such as shamans,
priests and medicine men were relatively common and
integral to religious life.[40]
Additionally, it is also possible that Upper
Paleolithic religions, like contemporary and
historical animistic and polytheistic religions,
believed in the existence of a single creator deity
in addition to other supernatural beings such as
animistic spirits.[116]

demonstrated a method for dating artifacts based on
the magnetic properties of lead, a material widely
used in Israel and elsewhere in antiquity. Reich and
coworkers found that at cryogenic temperatures, lead
becomes a superconductor, but the corrosion products
formed from centuries of exposure to air and water
(lead oxide and lead carbonate) do not superconduct.
On the basis of magnetic measurements and comparison
with artifacts that were known (using other
techniques) to be up to 2500 years old, the group
showed that the mass of lead corrosion products is
directly proportional to an object's age (New

Spiderman /
Jesus ...
"Despite
some intense action violence and very light foul
language, Spider-Man 2 has excellent lessons for
older children and their parents. It teaches that
people should use their talents, including their
intelligence, for the good of all people and that
self-sacrifice is a good thing. Otto’s wife
tells Peter that her marriage is good because she
and Otto work at it. Aunt May reminds Peter that
people, especially children, need heroes and role
models. These positive messages give added
heartfelt depth to the story and
characters." Like its predecessor, Spider-Man
2 has a very strong Christian worldview.
Although God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible are not
specifically mentioned in the dialogue, the story
wraps its theme of self-sacrifice and heroism in
explicit visual Christian metaphors. There are
visual references to Jesus Christ’s suffering on
the Cross, His death and resurrection, the crown
of thorns that the Romans placed on Christ’s
head, and the biblical theme of moral and
spiritual discipleship.
.... The last
metaphor or allegory is very interesting, because
both Peter and his nemesis, Doc Ock, are torn
between their negative or sinful side and their
better natures. Doc Ock is a kindly, intelligent
scientist who is seduced into evil by his
ambitious pride and the evil mechanical voices in
his head. Peter is seduced by his own selfish
desires. Both must learn how to overcome their
sinful natures and walk in a spirit of light
rather than darkness. In that way, SPIDER-MAN 2
reflects the biblical passages in the Christian
New Testament that talk about the battle between
the two natures at war in the human spirit when
someone accepts Jesus Christ as his savior and is
born again. In this movie, Peter Parker and
Spider-Man are not just a Christ figure, they are
a symbol for all of us who are trying to be
imitators of Christ for the benefit of our fellow
man and the good of society. The movie skillfully
blends this redemptive symbolism into its
provocative theme on the nature of, and need for,
sacrificial heroism. CBN

Heliocentrism in
the Middle East A.Wikipedia
In the 2nd century BC, the Hellenistic astronomer
Seleucus of Seleucia is said to have proved the
heliocentric theory.[31] According to Bartel Leendert
van der Waerden, Seleucus may have proved the
heliocentric theory by determining the constants of a
geometric model for the heliocentric theory and by
developing methods to compute planetary positions using
this model. He may have used trigonometric methods that
were available in his time, as he was a contemporary of
Hipparchus.[32] more
and Giordano Bruno,
born Filippo Bruno (1548 – February 17, 1600), was an
Italian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer best
known as a proponent of heliocentrism and the infinity
of the universe. His cosmological theories went beyond
the Copernican model in identifying the sun as just one
of an infinite number of independently moving heavenly
bodies: he is the first man to have conceptualized the
universe as a continuum where the stars we see at night
are of identical nature as the sun. He was burned at the
stake by authorities in 1600 after the Roman Inquisition
found him guilty of heresy. After his death he gained
considerable fame; in the 19th and early 20th centuries,
commentators focusing on his astronomical beliefs
regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern
scientific ideas. However, later assessments have
challenged the description of his beliefs as scientific,
and suggest that his ideas about the universe played a
substantially smaller role in his trial than his
pantheist beliefs about God.[1][2]
... In addition to his
cosmological writings, Bruno also wrote extensive works
on the art of memory, a loosely-organized group of
mnemonic techniques and principles. More recent
assessments, beginning with the pioneering work of
Frances Yates, suggest that Bruno was deeply influenced
by magical views of the universe inherited from Arab
astrological magic, Neoplatonism and Renaissance
Hermeticism.[3] Other recent studies of Bruno have
focused on his qualitative approach to mathematics and
his application of the spatial paradigms of geometry to
language.

"the world also shall be stable, that it be

Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "The sun also
ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to

arose." and
on Martin Luther: Wikipedia
There was an early suggestion among Dominicans
that the teaching should be banned, but nothing
came of it at the time. Some Protestants, however,
voiced strong opinions during the 16th century.
Martin Luther once said: "There is talk of a
new astrologer who wants to prove that the earth
moves and goes around instead of the sky, the sun,
the moon, just as if somebody were moving in a
carriage or ship might hold that he was sitting
still and at rest while the earth and the trees
walked and moved. But that is how things are
nowadays: when a man wishes to be clever he must .
. . invent something special, and the way he does
it must needs be the best! The fool wants to turn
the whole art of astronomy upside-down. However,
as Holy Scripture tells us, so did Joshua bid the
sun to stand still and not the
earth."
.... This was reported in
the context of dinner-table conversation and not a
formal statement of faith. Melanchthon, however,
opposed the doctrine over a period of
years.
.... Some years after the
publication of De Revolutionibus John Calvin
preached a sermon in which he denounced those who
"pervert the course of nature" by saying
that "the sun does not move and that it is
the earth that revolves and that it
turns".[42] On the other hand, Calvin is not
responsible for another famous quotation which has
often been misattributed to him: "Who will
venture to place the authority of Copernicus above
that of the Holy Spirit?"
and the Roman
Inquisition
The Roman Inquisition was a system of tribunals
developed by the Holy See during the second half
of the 16th century, responsible for prosecuting
individuals accused of a wide array of crimes
related to heresy, including sorcery, blasphemy,
Judaizing and witchcraft, as well for censorship
of printed literature. The tribunals covered most
of the Italian peninsula as well as Malta and also
existed in isolated pockets of papal jurisdiction
in other parts of Europe, including Avignon, in
France. The Congregation of the Holy Office, one
of the original 15 congregations of the Roman
Curia created by Pope Sixtus V in 1588, presided
over the activity of the local tribunals. While
the Roman Inquisition was originally designed to
combat the spread of Protestantism in Italy, the
institution outlived its original purpose, and the
system of tribunals lasted until the mid 18th
century, when the Italian states began to suppress
the local inquisitions, effectively eliminating
the power of the church to prosecute heretical
crimes. Wikipedia

Sparta and
pedophilia In
the 2nd cenTheWhitePath,
Writings of Mustafa Akyol
.... excerpt of review of the movie
"300":
It was no accident
that Hitler was an admirer of Spartan militarism. The
statues of the naked and heavily muscled “Aryan men”
that Nazis raised all around were inspired from Ancient
Greece. They were, just like the Spartans of “300,”
praise to masculinism, and “fascist aesthetics.”
...
Sparta, A Land of Homosexual Pedophilia
In their highly interesting book, “The Pink Swastika:
Homosexuality in the Nazi Party,” Scott Lively and
Kevin Abrams argue that even the “masochistic
homosexuality” that was so widespread among the Nazis
was linked to their masculinist spirit — which comes,
again, from Sparta. The makers of “300” give you no
hint, but actually the gallant soldiers of the Spartan
army were mostly gays who were trying to show off to
each other with their military skills. And it was not
just among mature men: Sparta was a land of homosexual
pedophilia. As Professor Lowell Lindemann of Princeton
notes, “Spartan men would often take a young boy under
their wing in a close-knit, mentor-type relationship
which included sexual relations.” |

family, far richer than Gates or Buffett Wikipedia
Mayer Amschel
Rothschild (1744-1812) was the founder of the Rothschild
family international banking dynasty that became one of
the most successful business families in history. In
2005, he was ranked 7th on the Forbes magazine list of
"The Twenty Most Influential Businessmen Of All
Time". The business magazine referred to him as a
"founding father of international finance".[1]
Rothschild's coin business grew to include a number of
princely patrons, and then expanded through the
provision of banking services to Crown Prince Wilhelm,
who became Wilhelm IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel in
1785. Business
expanded rapidly following the French Revolution when
Rothschild handled payments from Britain for the hire of
Hessian mercenaries. ....
By the early years of the 19th century, Mayer Amschel
Rothschild had consolidated his position as principal
international banker to Wilhelm IX and began to issue
his own international loans, borrowing capital from the
Landgrave. ... In 1806, Napoleon invaded Hesse in
response to Wilhelm's support for Prussia. The Landgrave
went into exile in Schleswig-Holstein, but Rothschild
was able to continue as his banker, investing funds in
London. He also profited from importing goods in
circumvention of Napoleon's continental
blockade. and more names:

Human Vestigiality
In the context
of human evolution, human vestigiality involves those
characters (such as organs or behaviors) occurring in
the human species that are considered vestigial - in
other words having lost all or most of their original
function through evolution. Although structures usually
called "vestigial" are largely or entirely
functionless, a vestigial structure may retain lesser
functions or develop minor new ones.[1]
.... Vestigial characteristics
occur throughout nature, one example being the vestigial
hind limbs of whales and snakes. Many human
characteristics are also vestigial in other primates and
related animals. The following characters have been or
still are considered vestigial in humans. Wikipedia

Dating methods,
Geomagnetic A
geomagnetic reversal is a change in the orientation of
Earth's magnetic field such that the positions of
magnetic north and magnetic south become interchanged.
These events often involve an extended decline in field
strength followed by a rapid recovery after the new
orientation has been established. These events occur on
a scale of thousands of years or longer.
Geomagnetic
polarity time scale.
... Record of Geomagnetic Polarity for ages
0-160 Ma. Reproduced from Lowrie(1997),
"Fundamentals of Geophysics". Changing
frequency of geomagnetic reversals over
time. The rate of reversals in the Earth's
magnetic field has varied widely over time. 72 million
years ago (Ma), the field reversed 5 times in a million
years. In a 4-million-year period centered on 54 Ma,
there were 10 reversals; at around 42 Ma, 17 reversals
took place in the span of 3 million years. In a period
of 3 million years centering on 24 Ma, 13 reversals
occurred. No fewer than 51 reversals occurred in a
12-million-year period, centering on 15 million years
ago. These eras of frequent reversals have been
counterbalanced by a few "superchrons" –
long periods when no reversals took
place.[4] ... It had generally
been assumed that the frequency of geomagnetic reversals
is random, and it was shown in 2006 that the known
reversals conform to a Lévy distribution.
Nucleocosmochronology,
(Wikipedia)
also known as cosmochronology, is a relatively new
technique used to determine timescales for astrophysical
objects and events. This technique employs the
abundances of radioactive nuclides in a way that is very
similar to the use of C14 in dating archeological
samples, save that the elements measured are typically
uranium and thorium. ...
Nucleocosmochronology has already been successfully
employed to determine the age of the Sun (4.57±0.02 Ga,
i.e., 4.57×109 years) and of the Galactic thin disk
(8.3±1.8 Ga), among others. It has also been used to
estimate the age of the Milky Way itself, as exemplified
by recent study of the halo star CS31082-001. Limiting
factors in its precision are the quality of observations
of faint stars, and perhaps more importantly, the
uncertainty of the primordial abundances of r-process
elements.
Oxidizable carbon
ratio dating
(Wikipedia)
is a method of dating in archeology that can be used to
derive the age of charcoal samples up to 35,000 years
old. The method is still in the experimental stage and
not universally accepted and rarely used (as compared
with well establish methods like carbon dating.
Successful usage by has been demonstrated for relative
dating. Its accuracy for establishing an abolute date
depends on calibration of within the context of the
archaeological site.
An ice
core is a core
sample from the accumulation of snow and ice over many
years that have re-crystallized and have trapped air
bubbles from previous time periods. The composition of
these ice cores, especially the presence of hydrogen and
oxygen isotopes, provides a picture of the climate at
the time.
Amino acid dating
(Wikipedia)
is a dating technique used to estimate the age of a
specimen in paleobiology, archaeology, forensic science,
and other fields. This technique relates changes in
amino acid molecules to the time elapsed since they were
formed. ... All biological
tissues contain amino acids. All amino acids except
glycine possess an asymmetric carbon atom, which means
that the amino acid can have two different
configurations, "D" or "L". With a
few important exceptions, living organisms keep all
their amino acids in the "L" configuration.
When an organism dies, control over the configuration of
the amino acids ceases, and the ratio of D/L moves
slowly toward equilibrium, a process called racemization.
Thus, measuring the ratio of D/L of a sample can allow
calculations of how long ago the specimen died.These are
all true and another definition for amino acid is small
or tiny molecules that join together to make protein. So
when you look at proteins you should be able to find
amino acids
Obsidian hydration
dating is a geochemical
method of determining age in either absolute or relative
terms of an artifact
made of obsidian.

Ardipithecus Human
evolution. Ardipithecus is a very early hominin
genus (subfamily Homininae). Two species are described
in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4
million years ago[1] during the early Pliocene, and A.
kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 million years ago[2]
(late Miocene). In 1992–1993 a research team headed by
Tim White discovered the first A. ramidus fossils —
seventeen fragments including skull, mandible, teeth and
arm bones — from the Afar Depression in the Middle
Awash river valley of Ethiopia. More fragments were
recovered in 1994, amounting to 45 percent of the total
skeleton. This fossil was originally described as an
Australopithecine, but White and his colleagues later
published a note in the same journal renaming the fossil
under a new genus, Ardipithecus. Between 1999 and 2003,
a multidisciplinary team led by Sileshi Semaw discovered
bones and teeth of nine A. ramidus individuals at As
Duma in the Gona Western Margin of Ethiopia's Afar
Region.[3] The fossils were dated to between 4.32 and
4.51 million years old.[4][5]. |

Good Christian Patriots At War
with the State Paul de Armond Copyright
1996 ... The
bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in
Oklahoma City came as the latest in a series of rude
shocks to America. Starting with the shoot-out at
Ruby Ridge which killed a Deputy U.S. Marshal, the
young son and the wife of white supremacist Randy
Weaver, Christian Patriot white supremacists have
been steadily escalating their endless war against
American democracy. The battles fought with the
Posse Comitatus and the Order a decade ago, are now
being joined again with new strategy and tactics.
The formation of armed vigilante groups called
"unorganized militias" was first viewed in
the media as the ranting of a bunch of gun-nuts and
crack pots. A year after the Oklahoma City bombing,
the nation is still uninformed about what Christian
Patriotism is and where it is leading
people. ... The
long-standing failure of the FBI to arrest the
Justus Township Freemen in Jordan, Montana on
charges of fraud, forgery, and intimidation of
public officials has focused national attention on
the individuals involved. However, the near-total
absence of informed public discussion has left most
Americans in the dark as to what was really going on
with the Freemen, the militias and the Christian
Patriot faction of white supremacy. Showing the
Freemen as cardboard "extremists," the
media has not explored the cohesive ideology and --
more importantly -- the theology that guides
Christian Patriotism. full
