Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Christianity could possibly become a minority religion in US as early as 2045…

Denial and dismission noted. At least you're reliable and consistent if nothing else.

My suggestion would be to start checking out some of Randal Carlsons videos on YouTube. Someone mentioned Gobekli Tepe.

Those structures are attributed to the assigned group. It appears that the Inca, Egyptians etc, are credited with the megalithic building. That paradigm was set a couple hundred years ago? However, examination of the structures reveals a complexity that exceeds the technological skills that they possessed being bronze aged people. The hypothesis is one of inheritance. They built upon what they found to exist.

The evidence that is being presented is varied. There is undeniable evidence of saw marks, lathe work, core drilling in granite and harder stones. Comparison of modern technology indicates that we don’t have the technology today to replicate those works.

The megalithic construction techniques are too similar across the world for the technology not to have been shared.

There are many related ruins beneath the ocean. They share the same fingerprints as all of the known megalithic structures.

It’s been just over a year since I started looking into this. I’m by no means an expert but the implications are pretty profound. It really does bend the mind and turns the geological and archaeological paradigms on their ear in my opinion.

That is very interesting. I had no idea they had found that much structure. There obviously was a considerable community centered there.

We also had considerable communities in North America pre Columbian. Yes, all stone age, but still large cities placed on major rivers. Some were recorded by Ponce de Leon in his Northern explorations.

As disease devastated the NA populations post Columbus, those cities faded into the dust. But as the locations were ideal for cities to grow, white men soon built cities there again. So it is really hard to find much remains. Most of it is buried under asphalt, concrete, and steel.

Back to the point of 12,000 year old peoples.

Peoples from anywhere on the globe from 12,000 years ago could slip right into our society. We could adopt their babies and educate them alongside our own, and nobody would know the difference.

There has only been one mutation in the human brain, that I am aware of, which has been identified in the last 12,000 years.

Newsweek did an article about twenty years ago. And the theory has been buried ever since as it is not "woke" or "inclusive". In this article they tracked human brain development through observed culture and by the marks inside the skull left from the folds of the brain.

The anthropologists determined when cave paintings appeared, and matched that to a new fold which appeared in the brain as the arts center became more developed. They also matched that to a new gene.

The article tracked the appearance of genes to digest Lactose in the adult human and the effect that had giving one population survival traits over another.

The last mutation described was identifies as coming out of the Middle East about six thousand years BC. The article named the region of the brain which showed development at that time and named the gene associated with it.

This last gene was known as the city builder. It allowed human populations to thrive in numbers never before imagined.

Such would explain the sudden appearance of Jericho.

But one thing this article did not mention, was how any of these new mutational advancements might have been carried back to become part of African Heritage.

So anyway, I find this older history amazing and easy to believe. Humans are clever creatures and have been for many 1000s of years.

Had it not been for catastrophic climate change leading to world pandemic of black plague, we can only imagine how far advanced our science and medicine would be today.

The Church further suppressed recovery through the breadth of the Dark Ages. It is easier to control and extract from an ignorant mass.

Reliability? Even when strong evidence of your hypocrisy and deception slap you across your kisser, you try to evade the truth by doubling down with the same tactics. Sad case.

Yes you reliably throw up a cloud of accusations and bafflegab as part of your denial and avoidance strategy. It gets old and shows that you have no real arguement except the process of arguement itself. Might be a handy technique that perhaps you use when you try and indoctrinate others - works against you for the majority no doubt.

HA! CCCC has a great argument!...you are absolutely the one that throws up a cloud of accusations and bafflegab as part of your denial and avoidance strategy. It is your same ol same ol, you need to refresh your responses to make it interesting.

Unchurched folks, dechurched folks, and Jesus’ followers themselves oughta realize and acknowledge the crucial role of God’s natural revelation as well as God’s special revelation to us all. He is behind both of em’, and both of em’ provide evidence for Him, and especially for the historical authenticity of the New Testament events.

And yet there's no valid response to the following:

"Calling the cosmos, or universe, a creation is an unsubstantiated assertion.
There's nothing in religious documents that even come close to describing the universe because those writers had no idea. You'd think a god would want to mention that to somebody - might've added more clout to the story."

I haven't shown otherwise? You state above "There's nothing in religious documents that even come close to describing the universe"... I just quoted scriptures.

Absolutely, but of course, our two illustrious atheist will shoot it down....get ready.

Genesis is the description of creation and it fails miserably. Your cherry picked clause does nothing to descibe the universe, it lays blanket claim to everything - how childish.

Of course, childish to you, an atheist...the thrust of the Cosmological Argument for the existence of God,....the Universe (i.e., the cosmos) is here, and a Cause is needed. Hawking (you've heard of this scientist) tacitly acknowledges that a Creator is needed in the equation if there is not an adequate explanation for the Universe without Him....but in the end, Hawking’s assertions, like yours, are just that—assertions....and a good description of the universe is...the Universe consists of celestial bodies like the stars, planets, galaxy, dust and gases. The Universe is a large space that contains everything, i.e., all matter and energy from the smallest particles to the largest particles. Everything found in space belongs to the Universe.

Much of the discussion that has been a significant part of so many of these types of threads pertains to evidence: and I see in the evidence…science, nature, reason and logic, and history…that God exists, and that He acted in history. And that the Word (God the Son) actually became flesh and lived among people in the early first century, and those He lived among reliably documented it for the rest of us. And that Jesus actually rose from the dead, and that the New Testament documents are reliable accounts of what actually happened.

God is a pacifier solution for those impatient and really wanting an answer, irrespective of what the truth may be, and in many cases despite what the truth is. The threat of hell is part of the sales pitch for those sitting on the fence - I think Pascal was one of the fence sitters in a neighbourhood of Christians.

There has yet to be rational argument on offer from your side of the fence. There have been appeals to the bible - 'it is written - and there have been denials, false accusations and insults aplenty....but rational debate, that's yet to be seen. I don't have much hope of seeing it.

Based on your remark, your interpretation of what evidence is and what it happens to support is flawed.

Again, the existence of the universe is evidence of its existence, nothing more. How it came came about, or if it did, has yet to be determined.

''The universe exists, therefore God'' is not a valid argument because it excludes any number of possibilities, and perhaps some yet to be imagined.

Don't jump to conclusions, keep an open mind.

LMMFAO !!!

120 pages & the .gov worshipping, jabbed hamster, gun giving up Aussie gaytheists are still limp wristing & stamping their feet in defiance to Christianity !

Funniest damn thing on the web !

Yet you are the one with ruffled feathers, carrying on like a wet hen.

Do you know what neuro developmental hypothesis the research is based on? The newest, and in my opinion most viable hypothesis, is the neuroplastic model.

Psalm 5:9-10

[9] For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is destruction;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongue.
[10] Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
