The True Origin of Reality

Da man, when I walk thru!

Not really that picky about scholars. They all have different opinions on certain topics that do not agree with one another.

There is no way to follow them all in total. It is impossible.

LOL, we know how much you love Price and Carrier. ;)

Appeal to ignorance.

And it wont be tolerated, and you will end up being ignored by those with educations on the topics.

How is me stating that the "scholarly consensus" has been wrong before, so therefore there is a possibility that they are wrong in other situations an appeal to ignorance?

I am not stating that the scholars ARE wrong because they have been wrong before, I am just stating that there was a precedent that the scholarly consensus has been wrong before, so we should not blindly accept it without question.

If "those with education on the topic" choose to ignore me that is their choice. How bout they refute my evidence instead of accusing me of a fallacy that I didn't commit. ;)

Trust me, I'm not here to "be right", I'm here to learn. I have no problem disregarding sources that I use if someone can show me that they are not legitimate. But attacking my argument directly without refuting my evidence, and not providing a counter point does neither of us any good.

There is not.

Nor have you demonstrated it by posting links.

How so? I provided a link of a Jewish Historian documenting an account of the origin of the Jewish people being from India. The other link also showed that there is genetic evidence that supports that some Jewish ethnicities show common genetics with people of the Indian subcontinent. Granted there are large differences as well, but there are similarities nonetheless.

I don't know whether I posted this or not, but you also have a language connection as well.

Ancient Scripts: Avestan

You have a language that was derived from another language that was derived from Aramaic, which also happens to be almost identical to Sanskrit. How is the connection not there?

I am by no means saying this indicates that Judaism derived from Hinduism, but there is evidence that suggests that the influence was a possibility.

As I said earlier, refute my evidence with a counter argument and evidence that supports your argument. Don't just tell me I'm wrong; give me a reason why I'm wrong.

Your original statement does not hold.

Religions started in Mesopotamia and Egypt every bit as early as Hindu religions.

Yet we only see regional influences to Israelites from the Canaanite patheon of religions. Then later the Meopotamian influences after the exile.

Your position remains unsubstantiated

Yeah, I have to agree with Outhouse with this one. We have evidence of Egyptian religions that are, at the least, contemporary with Hindu religions.

I did notice something interesting on the wiki timeline though. If you look at the 5500 - 4500 timeline, you see the influence of proto-Indo-European's on religious practices in India amongst other places, one of which was the importance of sacrifice, which I think we can agree was an important staple of ancient Judaism.

So how do you think sacrifice became a part of Judaism? Direct influence of Proto-Indo-European religious practices or a secondary influence through other religious practices that were directly influence by Proto-Indo-European religions?

LOL... Don't worry. I pretty much started out here the same way you did. Hang around here... I think you'll like it!!! Have an open mind, and you will learn a lot on these forums... I know I have.

And considering your focus on frequency theories, you should check out the photon theories... Biophotons, photonic theory of consciousness, and photon behaviors in general. I think you will like it.
