Default Where the bible came from

Did you ever wander about the bible and a parallel universe.

Did you ever wander if there was/is a parallel universe where there is a flat earth with a solid sky dome set on pillars about 2 billion light years away from our earth.

Maybe they discovered a porthole came to visit our earth and dropped their bible before they left our earth.

Mark, you've started some marginal topics before, but this one crosses the line into total inanity. Off to ~~Elsewhere~~.

best,

Default What is the problem

{Gratuitous expletive deleted}

I have removed the short insult that constituted the entire content of this post. It violated the forum rules.

Not a wise move, mark9950.

How come it ain't in humour ? Seems more appropriate there. Reminds me of the Disc World stories.

Have to agree with the Bossmen on this one . . . and I have been known to post some "tangental" posts!

I do not think there is any evidence for the postulate--even if humorous.

Cool

It violates Occam's Razor, I think.

I have wandered around the bible many times, looking for interesting scripture, highlighting quotes.

According to an article in Discover magazine, parralel universes are about 10^28 meters away, and I know my truck woulnd't make it that far. So no, I have not wandered about any of those.

Mark, I think they're trying to tell you that it's spelled "wonder". To wander is to travel around, not to think about something.

(Oh, and I hope that extra 't' was intentional, SpaceMonkey.)

With regards to the opening post, I would say that there's no evidence to support such speculation. Just because something could happen doesn't mean it did happen...and we don't even know that it could happen.
