    End Times?

    I disagree. I read light was separated from darkness, remaining “with” the waters. Waters were separated from waters, giving us the lights (of water) in the sky, and waters (without light) on the ground. The moon rises and sets also as the sun does, and the light that is visible from the moon...

    End Times?

    So are you backtracking now? What does Genesis 1:14 and 1:15 describe then, and is it still “factually” wrong? Let me backtrack. I meant orbit, that is Earth around Sun, not center of universe. Here I ask a question. Do you think our ancestors understood that during an eclipse our moon...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I initially thought Kasdim referred to Khas people. Now, I believe Kasdim means difficulty. This is கஷ்டம், which is a Sankritized word in Tamil. The word itself is the reason, signifying when the Aryans started to move into the IVC.

    End Times?

    You didn’t translate Genesis 1:14 or 1:15. Your argument is anachronistic, since you interpret star. When you interpret as “light in the sky” which is basically the simplest of observation, there is nothing wrong with Genesis 1. This picture and interpretation is during Christian times. It is...

    End Times?

    They saw planets as “wandering” heavenly bodies, sure. Yes, but they knew there was a difference between the Sun and planets in terms of when and how they appeared in the sky. Ok. So are you saying the meaning of the verses were once literal but have slowly become symbolic? That would be...

    End Times?

    Yes and no. I backtrack because I shouldn’t imply they believed in planets the same way we do. I’m saying they describe “lights in the sky” in different ways. Single “lights” were given different names, such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Did they know these were planets? Groups of “lights in...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Yes, those are my words. I chose my user name here from what was given to me by Reddit. As you can see my views have evolved with my understanding of the Tamil language and Indus Valley Civilisation.

    End Times?

    I disagree. Genesis is specific in describing the lights having different characteristics, since some were to mark “sacred times” such as “seeing” the planets Venus, Mars, or Jupiter, and others, specifically the zodiac constellations, were to “mark” the progression of days and years. Light...

    End Times?

    At the same time they described what they saw with the vocabulary they had, why would we hold it against them for that to label them mistakes? You have just as equally described the poetry of John of Patmos. If indeed he was referring to the "tribulations" of the end of days, it is nice to...

    End Times?

    The scriptures generally refer to stars as either the planets in the solar system or constellations. Technically, the sun will darken as it becomes a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus. Stars that are light years away will fade as we accelerate further away from other galaxies. Not...

    Cain's Sacrifice.

    I believe the meme shows a man, to the right of the Jewish gentleman, degrading himself by indulging in the senses of his...creative bubbles of "rightality". Unfortunately the Jewish gentleman on the left degrades himself by watching such a degradation take place and saying...nothing In the...

    Cain's Sacrifice.

    Nooo, you went political!!! Why?? Here is a meme from the good men of South Park (one who is Jewish), should we consider the key words reality, senses, and 100%. Ask and this post shall be deleted.

    Haha! I bought my beef sliced, but then you underline sections of my words as if performing surgery and then feed them back to me like it is the treatment for my malady? No need to apoligize friend, I didn't make any conditions for truth, but history/herstory is another matter. You asked, I...

    'Unprecedented' events as India and Canada expel respective diplomats

    I think we also need to appreciate that this low-life was hiding out in Pakistan until 2011 when he was arrested. Clearly he avoided justice, and then the Indonesians just added more leniency for him. If you want a more direct comparison consider Abdelbaset al-Megrahi who was jailed for life...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I like to believe in what makes sense, and I like to think I am a reasonable person. People who want to believe Ur can not be anywhere near India, but then look at a map and the entire place is literally covered in places called something-ur, what is one to think? Kasdim/Kashtum/Kasta meaning...

    'Unprecedented' events as India and Canada expel respective diplomats

    Personally, I would have liked to have seen more Australians protesting against the release of Umar Patek, bomb maker of the terrorist attack on October 10, 2002 in Bali, Indonesia. The attack killed 202 people including 88 Australians. I don't think the release of such a person before 20...
