Good, good
As far as people claiming to be gods, this started, according to our records, with Naram-Sin
He is the first known king to be deified in literature, and the first known to have been identified as a god-man using the Akkadian cognate " dingir " ( god ) to the Semetic " El " ( God )...
all good, my man, I'd heard it before a few times, although where genealogies are concerned, I found L'Immortalité de l'âme chez les Chaldéens, (1875- Julius Oppert ) to be far more interesting
If your question pertains to whether he was a god or a man or a god-man, I would simply suggest you...
afaik, ( from what reading I did ) this is perhaps because of things like copper serum levels in infants and children ( A deficiency of Cu in infants is known to lead to higher susceptibility to infections, for example ) Last time I read any papers they were mentioning the roles of Copper (Cu)...
I haven't really kept up with the published papers lately, but I have noticed that the ORF10 has had almost zero mutations, at least according to nextstrain's data
I recall reading a few months back that the way that particular protein folds, makes it very stable, so this would make it highly...
I can't help but be interested, mom was a virologist and fostered in me, the love of science :P
Have you guys been following Nextstrain ?
auspice
That link is a mapping of all the different genomes of the virus ( 4,000 + mutations so far )
I can offer some interesting insight here
When the genome was first published online, I began to study it using available data
It runs out there is a part of the viral genome that interferes with the cellular immune response that normally tips off the innate immune system there is an invader...
Actually, if the logic you use to formulate your question is flawed to begin with, it is meaningless
Let's start with something simple
Assume I'm an idiot, if you haven't done so already
I need to have it clearly explained to me where this span of 4,000 years comes from
once again, you present a false dichotomy
you'd have to first offer some compelling evidence that time actually started 4,000 years ago
Until you do that, your question is purely meaningless
Most historians generally agree that the conventions by with Mesopotamians recorded and kept time with, were established roughly around 4,000 BC ( Uruk )
..which coincidentally would place the Biblical narrative starting in the same era, provided you bother to add up the spans of time in the...
I would say that, personally, spirituality to me means a sense of something greater than myself, my interactions with that something, and the effects it produces - iow, how it determines my life choices
well then I'd start over
If you could offer some evidence outside the Bible that time began 4,000 years ago, I'd be interested
Maybe start by explaining some Sumerian metrology :)
