    Religion is the Death of Logic and Reason. I realized I was an atheist in the 5th grade while standing in line for Catholic confirmation. I wanted to step out of line because I realized at that moment I didn't believe in God or anything in the Bible. Unfortunately, I also knew If I chose that moment, as a child, to make this declaration in the Church would bring a form of Ire upon myself that was frightening to a child. Thus I suffered through 3 more years, until I was given the choice to attend public high school.

    If you want to look at human behavior on strictly a logical basis, just consider a situation wherein nobody gives a shit about anyone else but themselves. There would be no unity, and the human race gets ALL of its strength from unity. Without it, we will be quickly added to the long list of extinct species on this planet.

    Very interesting look at how digital recorders worked back in the 90s. I figured they just digitize the audio and store in memory as an audio file then stream the digital data through a DAC to be played. This explains why a lot of these lossy voice only recorders sound the way they do because music sounds super terrible and scrambled up on them and I guess the ones that can play back music and have it sound like music and not a scrambled mess. How does the newer model recorder that you have handle music?

    James Randi has been debunked on dowsing physics. Read the book: The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik. Learn how to build and all the physics involved in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that precisely gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This accurately gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope you are safe and healthy while having a good day.

    The amount of species loss and habitat loss in the US over the past 30 years has been appaling. Everything is degraded, overrun by cows, and is now being destroyed by homeless people. There is already an environmental crisis caused by too many people consuming too much. And, morons want to add more and keep earing meat. Anyone that wants more kids should be required to live in skyscrapers in metropolises and never be allowed to leave. And, cattle should be illegal.

    And what does Julius say in his book about the population bomb 💣? Here it is: The Ultimate Resource 2" is an influential work that challenges common perceptions about overpopulation and scarcity. Simon argues that human ingenuity and technological innovation consistently outpace population growth, leading to greater abundance and prosperity. He contends that people are the ultimate resource, capable of solving the challenges posed by population growth and environmental issues through innovation and adaptation. Overall, the book emphasizes the power of human creativity and the potential for unlimited progress.

    I am around 1/2 way through and it sounds like we could sustain a heck of a lot more people if people in the developed world wanted to live mostly on plants and have a lifestyle more like people from India. It would likely wreck most of the world’s ecosystems and and make us a mass extinction event worse than the big rock that took out the dinosaurs but there is a lot of land in the world that is as habitable as the highly populated parts of India which is 10x as populous as the US. We would have to use a lot of energy just to get water in a lot of places but if we didn’t care about the environment or human welfare all that much we should be able to sustain tens of billions of people on earth with current technology.

    Could it be that "science' often turn out to be dead wrong? 40 years ago, the universe is a "close universe", but now with space telescopes, the universe is infinite. Alzheimer was wrong blame on beta amyloid. This discarded theory was based on a fraudulent paper by a dishonest grad student. Billions went down the rat hole developing useless Alzheimer drugs. According to Dr Ioannidis, world class medical statistician at Stanford, a large majority of meta=analysis papers is garbage. Sorry, people reject good science because much of it is bad science. Probably 90% of drug research using contract clinical trial sites are garbage. mRNA had over 30 clinical sites, wherein the FDA only inspected 4 of them. Whistleblower says vaccinated volunteers were told to leave right after getting the shot. Of course, the drug company award clinics that come back with few negative results. And finally, CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourna refuse to take his vaccine, until reporters harassed him. He then is shown in a picture with his sleeve roll up. Ahem, any 3rd party verified this CEO( fined over 13 billions dollars for drug misdeeds), actually took the vaccine? No, it is because they are like me, well informed, that the world of science is fraught with charlatans. Buyer beware. Don't be fooled by US corrupt science Big Pharma complex.

As someone who lives in Australia,it's impossible to say how true most of the hauntings in USA are...or even the hauntings in Australia for that matter. I'd like to believe in ghosts, and get that delicious scare thrill, but if there are ghosts out there, I'm sure they have better things to do than to keep coming night after night for the gratification of strangers. And doesn't every haunted house have a lady in white?or a black shadow man figure?

    Women have a different attunement because they are the ones who have babies. Sound religion and more developed intuitive faculties can help them navigate that journey. It doesn't mean they always get it right by any means. But the sense that mortal existence isn't the whole story actually reveals a multidimensional person. Why people have to poo poo the opposite sex shows they don't appreciate the vital differences between them that keep us from going off the rails as a civilization, as we are today.

    Evolutionists are religious leaders belonging to the Darwinian Cult. This religious cult has infiltrated classrooms in schools, colleges and universities around the world masquerading as a fact of science. It has done nothing to advance actual science, that which is we can observe, test and study. These religious fanatics who call themselves scientists have been trying to produce living cells from chemicals for decades in laboratory controlled conditions and they are getting no where close in doing so. They are full of bluff and bluster in their speculations and assumptions. Remember we live in an open system that is subject to contamination and abrupt change, not laboratory conditions. There are three major stumbling blocks, or limitations to Darwinian Evolutionary Religion. There is no evidence that chemicals being unguided could form living cells. There is the phenomenon of irreducible complexity within living organisms, that dispenses with mutations and natural selection, from simple to complex organisms over the invented evolutionary time frame of millions of years. This is impossible! If evolution be true then there should be irrefutable evidence in the fossil graveyards around the world, but as Colin Patterson admitted in the 1980's when he wrote a book on evolution which was read by Luther Sunderland in America, when asked the question: I have read your book on evolution, how is it that you have not included any transitional fossils in your book? Dr Patterson Paleontologists replied: We do not have any transitional fossils, if I had one I would have included it in my book. I will lay it on the line we do not have any transitional fossils! Even Darwin had to admit, and he stated, if my theory be true, there should be numberless intermediate forms embedded in the earth's crust. Knowing these things, people need to waken up and smell the coffee, that there is an agenda to hid the truth from the general populace around the world. There are those in positions of power and authority, being leadership in high places, who do not want to retain God in their knowledge at all costs. Man wants to be god and to be in charge of his own destiny but I am sorry the job is already taken. The teaching of evolution as a fact of science corrupts good manners in relation to conversations and actions in this world. I have been a Christian for some time having rejected the false religions of this world that profit you nothing. The gospel of Jesus Christ is like unto a green tree with beautiful foliage, perfumed blossom and perfect fruit for the picking. The loving words of Jesus are sound doctrine, flawless doctrine, pure doctrine, good doctrine in every respect. Jesus taught Jews and Gentiles to love God with all of their hearts, minds, souls and spirits and to love their neighbour as themselves and he went further saying love your enemies, do good to them that hate you and despitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father which is in heaven etc.You do not go around killing other people because they do not agreed with your religion, you might as well be an atheist, a moron in relation to what is right and wrong. You win others by the love you show unto them in your words and actions. Jesus was very clear men shall be judged for every idle word spoken, except they repent of their sins and turn to Jesus for salvation. Jesus said, God is a spirit and after his resurrection he said to his disciple handle me, see it is I, a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see that I have. He said to his disciples during his ministry, even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him, but you know Him for he dewelleth with you and shall be in you, i will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. Jesus said also, when you pray go into your closet and shut the door and pray to your father in secret and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. Now that is what I call infinite power beyond our comprehension. Jesus asked the question during his ministry to the people, where is your faith? You see the just shall live by faith, this is how God separates the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff, the good from the bad. Those who are attracted to holiness, righteousness, purity and the truth manifested in the life of Jesus walk by faith and not by sight. When I worship God each day through Jesus this scripture comes to pass as I open up my heart to Him in prayer. John's gospel Chapter 7:37-39 reads: he that believeth on me as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water [inner most being] this spake he of the spirit that those who believed in Him should received for the spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jesus was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father on the third day. This can be your experience but your life must come into divine order so that you have a personal relationship with Jesus each day. The Lord loves you more than you know, he wants you to come out of the dark religion of Darwinian Evolution in to the gospel of your salvation, so that you have the rest of faith, peace with God and everlasting joy in knowing you have passed from death unto life, from the power of Satan unto God.
