Tell me something I didn't already know. Recall learning it back in junior high, circa 1969.

FWIW without sperm the egg is a dead end. The egg has but half the requisite DNA.

An unfertilized egg won't become anything...except breakfast?

Contact with super-natural beings.

And now you can laugh. I realize you won't believe me. It's not a delusion, or a privilege. It just is what it is.

Um, ok. Right after you ingested magic mushrooms?

Looney Tunes.

You're smooth Chicks.

My first encounter was about one week after using hallucinogens. 1986.

I did question my own sanity, and it was a haunting that continued through out my life. My doubts were erased in 2012. One of the non-humans befriended me, and explained a whole bunch of shit.

They walk around in human flesh. In her own words, which were apparently channeled from Lucifer, they are "rent collectors".

The devil will get his or her due.

It's weird crap like this that keeps this old preacherman's son out of these religulous discussions. Freakin' lizard people sliding in from the 18th dimension on strings to harvest souls for Lucifer? Was there any pit viper cuddling preceding the mushroom tea episode?

Science is a sub-branch of philosophy, it's origin came about not long after recorded human history starts. It was suppressed by religious people for a long time.

Carbon dating is interesting. Perhaps God used old carbon to create the physical universe. The passage of time is a non-issue for creationists. The Bible says "one thousands years is like a day, and a day like one thousand years" from God's perspective. It says God create the world in seven days. That could have been seven thousand years. It does not say how long ago the world was created. People try to figure that out based on the genealogies of the bible. Many say 4000 years ago. Could have been 7000 years ago.

He tossed in some very old fish fossils, just to help the devil deceive people into believing bullshit like cross species evolution. He has to separate the wheat from the chaff somehow.

Intersting.

One of the things I think is funny is when someone finds a skull that they link to evolution since its in between the shape of a gorilla head and a human head. But even today people are born with "deformed" features that aren't a "normal" shape. Who's not to say the same thing has happened in the past.

It's seven. Seven hyperspaces. The Books of Enoch talk about the strata of the universe, he claimed there are ten. His 'books' weren't included in the Bible, but I find them interesting.

The theoretical physicists that claim our universe is a simulation have a tie-in with Enoch. In one of the 'heavens', Enoch observed a machine like object that was projecting or influencing the world we live in. Wild stuff.

In 2 Corinthians Paul the Apostle writes, "I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows."

Regarding snakes, I like them, but i kill the poisonous ones when they come around.

I don't dispute that evolution has transpired.

When they claim humans evolved from lower order primates, that's just stupid.

Some monkeys stayed monkeys, other turned into humans. What BS.

Much of the anthropologic evidence was tampered with, demonstrating motive to lie.

I mean dinosaur skeletons are real, but they don't negate the creationist POV (point of view).

Nice point.
