Since you had a Mama Bird story for me I have a Bible story for you from Genesis 38 8-10. I am sure you will disregard “the word of God” in this particular situation:

Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also.

Teen bird to Mama bird: “Mama, what are these useless bumps on the sides of my body.”

Mama bird: “You wait a bit, darling. In a billion years those bumps will develop into wings that will help you fly. Meanwhile take good care of those bumps, okay.”

Sorry, I’m too practical to believe in an evolutionary theory proposed by man and not so naive as to disregard the word of God.

God getting some of the facts right and most of it wrong does not satisfy an individual like me. God should get everything right. No exceptions. Even most Christians in this world (particularly in the developed nations) no longer believe in the six day creation story. In fact the Vatican has accepted evolution of the human body. The following is an excerpt from the address Pope John Paul made on October 22, 1996 to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences:

“Today, almost half a century after the publication of the encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory”.

You indulge in some fancy interpretation of Bible verses to arrive at your conclusions. For example you point out to Isaiah 40:22 to prove that the earth is round. This is what Isaiah 40:22 states: “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in”. This is not enough to prove the shape of the earth by today’s standard. Also I hope that you learnt in school that the earth is not round but spherical. The universe is multidimensional and there is nothing called above or below the earth (this is earth centric view). So how is god enthroned above the circle of the earth? If god is circling the earth then it means that god like the rest of us, is “inside” and a tiny part of the entire observable universe that scientists believe is 14 billion parsecs (4.6 × 10 to the power 10 light years) in any direction!

Of course you left out other interesting things that are said in the Bible that the entire universe was created in 6 days and god rested on the 7th day and that the earth was created before the sun. You also forgot to mention that the Book of Genesis has two different creation stories!

Peace.

tested many times that only the Bible offers a completely rational explanation for the reason behind man’s existence. The

Bible reveals the mysteries of this universe. Kindly do tell me where in the mythologies will you find parallel statements

about:

The earth is hanging in space (and not sitting on Atlas’ shoulder or on a turtle’s back) – JOB 26:7
The earth is round – ISAIAH 40:22
The existense of dinosaurs – JOB 40:15-24
The existense of cavemen – JOB 30:1-8
The existense of hydrological cycle – JOB 36:27-28
The existense of ice age – JOB 38:29-30
The existense of underwater ocean springs – JOB 38:16 (By the way, the book of Job is the oldest book of the Bible)
The existense of underwater mountains JONAH 2:5-6
The existense of atoms and molecules – HEBREWS 11:3

I’ve listed just a few. If you want I can give you more.
I assume that you have a Bible (Every gnostic (“naastik”) has one).
If not these facts, please do show me some other scietific facts that can be found in the mythologies.

Following is the flood story from the Mahabharat:

“The time for the purging of this world is now ripe. Therefore do I now explain what is good for thee! The mobile and immobile divisions of the creation, those that have the power of locomotion, and those that have it not, of all these the terrible doom hath now approached. Thou shall build a strong massive ark and have it furnished with a long rope. On that must thou ascend, O great Muni, with the seven Rishis and take with thee all the different seeds which were enumerated by regenerate Brahmanas in days of yore, and separately and carefully must thou preserve them therein” – Mahabharata III.clxxxvi.

The M17 is one of the most controversial markers as far as India is concerned. We have long known through oral traditions and literature that people from Eastern Europe/Central Asia migrated to India in our not so recent past (the Aryan invasion theory). The M17 marker found among certain Indians (including me) proves once and for all that “:Europeans did migrate to India
‘. ha ha lolllllllllllll on the floor oral traditions :))))))))))))))))))))))

this is special for you

Your logic is that an Indian who is from Kerala who questions certain aspects of Kerala/Indian history must be an active member of the ABVP, RSS, Hindu terrorist group and an anti social! You make these serious allegations without offering a single piece of evidence to support it. I see no difference between you and the right wing Hindu groups you rant against.

What about the current Pope who initially did not support the theory that St. Thomas visited Kerala? Is he a Hindu terrorist too? What about British authors like Godfrey Higgins who wrote about this in the 18th century? Was he a member of the ABVP or the RSS? And what about the vast majority of Christians who do not believe that Jesus Christ had a twin brother and that the Gospel of Thomas is false, heretical and does not deserve to be canonized? Are they all anti-social?

You take the scripture that I quoted, provide your spin on it and then summarily dismiss it as “little knowledge”. Do you know that there are millions of people on this Earth who do not believe in the lost tribes’ myth? Do you know that there are many books written by experts on scripture and history on it? Have you read any one of them? And you are the one trying to put things in context for me?

Seek help before you fall off the edge!

Please note what is mentioned above this and after this verse to get the context. The important thing is missed out. The point made here is all the remnant of Israel but for the Tribes like Judah and Benjamin why remanent is not being used? Please go through the Second Book of Chronicles and you will understand what i have mentioned. A little knowledge is dangerous. Still appreciate you enthusiaism of creating something from nothing. You should be a active member of ABVP or RSS or any Hindu Terrorist group(anti social elemnts).
