Sometimes, Light, you make good clear sense.

The Unifying Factor of One God joins all people together irrespective of religious belief, as long as they believe fully in The One God and do as He wishes them to do.

Without the religious observance of formal religion the scientific Freethinker can still come to understand God through a correct understanding of science.

A Quaker may believe in God and simply meet informally in a Friend's Meeting House.

This is also what Freethinkers do.

Classifying Pseudoscience
Typically, pseudoscience fails to meet the criteria laid down by the scientific method in one or more of the following rules of thumb:

by asserting claims without supporting experimental evidence;
by asserting claims which contradict experimentally established results;
by failing to provide an experimental possiblity of reproducible results; or
by violating Occam's Razor (the principle of choosing the simplest explanation when multiple viable explanations are possible).

The first is an indicator and is not conclusive.
The second refers to established facts - not theories.

Light violates all of them, and is therefore pushing psuedoscience.

It's the violation of the third that is most telling to me. Of what use is the belief?

Light

The simplest answer to all of the debate is that God Created The Universe.

The simple acknowledgement of the ... fact ... removes ALL of the arguement.

The science of Creation, ... already ... known to Egypt shows that those who still dabble in "theology" and spend all of their time praying for enlightenment are simply wasting their time.

There is only ... one ... science of Creation just as there is only ... one ... God Who may be thought of as The Supreme Being.

That there may be lesser beings is always a possibility.

Man and Superman. Mortal and Immortal.

It is said, "Know thyself and you shall come to know God."

Better still, come to understand God and to know Him and you will discover the Truth of your own existance.

If you deny God then you never will.

Simple.

The Truth of Egypt is not pseudoscience.

It is a combination of material, biological, and spiritual science.

So if the 'gyptians were so clever, how come there's nothing left of thier little empire?

If they knew the "truth" why did they abandon it? If they knew the truth how were teh mistaken into accepting non-truths?

Or, if they knew the "truth" why did it not protect their culture from outsiders?

Why cling to the truth of a bunch of loosers?

Light

If you look at the destruction caused to Egypt you will see that it was the product of a major cataclysm.

They did not abandon it. The world developed along different lines after the cataclysm.

Unfortunately whilst the spiritual knowing has been applied there has been too little care taken to have limited numbers children due to misguided religious leaders creating poverty everywhere.

Compared to a rational, reasonable and logical, scientific appreciation of Creation, much which passes for "religion" deals in mass hysteria spending a great deal of time uselessly praying.

So...the One God joins all people together, irrespective of belief, as long as they believe fully in the One God. Hmm...
And how exactly do they know what He wishes them to do? Email? SuperEmail?With all their knowledge of the One God and the combination of their material, biological and spiritual science, why didn't they manage to get through it? What was this major cataclysm, exactly?Finally, a way to stop the One God: Kryptonite. Maybe that's what the major cataclysm was.Not withstanding the 'Creation', you do have moments of lucidity.

Light

"How do they know what He wishes them to do?" He has given His Commandments to them.

Basically these Commandments say NOT to abuse each other but to find ways of living in peace.

"Why did they not manage to get through it?" An Eternal Being can get through anything.

The major cataclysm was that which destroyed material Egypt.

But that was a long time ago.

"Someone" had to Create the atoms and molecules for all of these Galaxies to form.

When the energy of an atom, or a molecule, disintegrates into its constituent parts, how will it be formed again?

I think maybe that you are confusing the presence of God here and maybe not understanding the actual Creative FORCE of an ALMIGHTY Being, capable of producing a Universe in the first place.

Very likely you are underestimating Him.
