Final thought on the origin of the cosmos.

[se7en.is.back]

I think your sarcasm detector is on the fritz.

I do get what you're saying though. Alot of those scrolls are a good starting place for history, you just have to realize that people in those times wrote in metaphors.
...There's a really good history show called "Battles BC," and it has a lot of episodes about biblical conflicts like the "Siege of Jericho" and "David & Goliath." ...In Jericho the bible says "they played the trumpets and the walls came tumbling down." That was in reference to their tactic of marching around the outer city walls for 3 days as a intelligence squad climbed through a window with a red rope into a prostitutes apartment that they paid with coin & immunity (low income residents lived in apartments contained in the outer wall). The others watching around the perimeter or a distraction, so when the intelligence and Assault squad heard the trumpets playing that meant they were ready for them to open the gates from the inside where metaphorically the "walls came tumbling down."
... The metaphor in David and Goliath in the book of the Philistines is in reference to the larger army that the Philistines had in comparison to King David's army. There was no such person as Goliath, just an army larger than King David's. The Philistines are actually what we call today the Palestinians, back then their primary religion was Coptic Christian.
... So you will find some interesting stuff you just have to know comprehend it properly and interpret passages with other sources that make more reasonable sense.

What it boils down to is that to to believe in evolution, and everything came from nothing means that what science teaches now will constantly be changing, new theories and ideas will arise, after your dead there will continue to be new studies, and its 100% fact you'll die not knowing the truth. The creationist perspective never changes. The thing is to believe in the Bible's account of the universe, means we have the entire answer already there. There's no guessing, there's no theories, atleast in Christianity the case is closed. We have our answers. The evolutionists are the ones seeking an answer to which they cannot come up with, and that can never be truly proven. The answer has been right in front of us all this whole time.


The heavens declare the glory of God;
The skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Psalm 19:1

When you die the universe no longer exists because it will have lost its meaning. The only way for life to have meaning is for you to be able to live it over and over again as if it's the first time. This is the only way so that it has purpose and we are able to continue thru time as an eternal being. Which isn't so bad and why you should make everyday count and nothing but enjoyment. If you were going to have to re-live your life over and over infinetly then how should you be spending your days? It's like saying if you had one movie that you had to watch forever what movie would that be?

make yourself a tea with a hot womans used tampon and listen...

When it comes to things that are unknown, all possibilities are open.
Therefore, it's not wise to immediately dismiss anything unless you can prove
i dont know who says that but have you ever considered the possibility that there has always been "something" and never a "nothing"
And since no one knows what was before the Big Bang, anything could be
As mentioned, when a topic is entirely unknown, all probabilities are open.



also there are some theories that something can be created from nothing
Neither gay religions nor sciences have definitive answers
but at least science can prove some shit

The digital achievements are based on scientific principles
The fact that a mobile phone functions as it does is a proof of the understanding of the interplay between different elements, atoms and Chemical interactions which was previously only a theory. This theory was then tested to see if it holds true.
I am also certain that science has its weaknesses because I could now claim that phones/camera etc... might actually be much better if science understood them correctly or much better, and they are not yet at the end of research or is even possible
i mean
How can I be sure that science has understood everything correctly because maybe everything could be better, and maybe we are just seeing the worst achievements there are
This thought applies to every area of science, not just to this example with digitization


But the sole reason we have these things is thanks to science and not to a caveman who wrote a book thousands of years ago.

Bring me your strongest argument that God exists, and I will easily refute it while sitting on the toilet and having diarrhea

im agnostic myself but i can tell i know every argument from both sides theists and atheists
because i have been dealing with this topic for over 10 years

Does it have to be a tampon from a hot woman? Because all that is available to me right now are tampons from basic bitches. And no that's not like a CVS although the title does have some pizazz. Come on down to Basic Bitches for the basic in your life!

Even back then people knew how to record history and what they seen. These instances are not metaphors but actual events recorded in history.

Sold! Send me a bible. But not the English translation. I want original translations of the Old and the New Testament. I want the Word in all its purity, not diluted by culturally biased translations, nor distorted by temporal distance from the source. I want the Old Testament in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New Testament in Koine Greek. If I'm going to convert I want the direct word of God, not a facsimile of a facsimile several iterations removed, distorted, and adulterated. Until I get those I'm virtually just using my smartphone to stare at a 2-dimensional digitization of a likewise 2D photograph of a 3-dimensional painting titled "Mona Lisa". If I do this I'm going to do it right. I'm not going to half-ass it like the vast majority of Christians. I want the truth, not its closest (or farthest) approximation.

I got you covered. Send me the address. And Im assuming you mean paleo-Hebrew since modern day Hebrew is completely different. Everyone told me I was wasting my time putting together this ancient religious book because no one except me could read Paleo-Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. But here you are! Oh and the Aramaic would be the one spoken in Persia, the lingua franca.

Even back then people knew how to record history and what they seen. These instances are not metaphors but actual events recorded in history.

Events recorded in languages that we still aren't able to translate exactly which makes at least some of it assumptions or guesses.

Just curious, what was the language of the "original" translation 🤔

From my understanding, the Old Testament was written in proto-Hebrew (also known as paleo- or Old Hebrew) and Aramaic, while the New Testament was written in Koine Greek.
