Amen Brother Temperance.

You know when I think about it, there is nothing like that upper class High Church Episcopalian music to put one to sleep - especially with all that Latin mumbo-jumbo in it. I think it is designed to put the congregation into a trance like state to make it easier for their clergy to insert demons in their rectums. If they were really True Christians™ they would be out rebuking to make the world a better place, and witnessing to bring the unsaved to Jesus.

Oh for heaven's sake! Have you ever been inside an Episcopal church? The liturgy is sooooooo beautiful, so inspiring, so holy! Don't knock it till you've tried it!

Outward beauty is a thing that only pornography stars and homosexuals aspire to. True Christians(tm) know that inner beauty is what God truly seeks. So your churches may be beautiful, but I bet Hell's wallpaper will be beautiful too. But by then you'll be too busy worrying about which orifice Satan is violating that you'll be too busy to notice...

... groan! ... I don't mean the church building or cathedral itself, although the architecture is usually stunning ... I mean the worship service! ... our Anglo-catholic medieval-style liturgies have all the meaning and beauty you will ever need, in accordance with scripture and doctrine, for your eternal salvation! ... try it, you'll like it!

In accordance with Anglo-Catlick doctrine, maybe, but in accordance with scripture? When have you worthless helldogs ever done anything in accordance with scripture?

Brother Temperance,
your ending quote is by samuel clemens (aka. Mark Twain) from his short story "War Prayer" in context and even out of context it refutes how the southern church would pray for victory and shows how contradictory it is to ask of "Him who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faitherful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts" to ruthlessly slaughter and tourcher their soldiers, their widows, and thier orphans. If you see this prayer as what god would want, you must follow the old testement closer than the majority of modern day christians do, and that scares me.

and scientifical is not a word. it would be scientific so therefore this forum is about the insanity of gathering evidence about the observable world and finding theories to explain what is already there, unlike creation science that has a story and finds things to make them fit with their preconceived notions. creation science is not science.

Friend,

Lets be honest, when scientifical is just a false religion created by people who hate Jesus and the truth. Anyone who claims that bananas turn into people us utterly insane.

You seem to misunderstand the Bible and the Mark Twain story.

The point was that we should comprehend exactly what we ask of God.

Now, considering that God commanded that Moses commit genocide against the Midianites -- that is, mercilessly kill all the men, women, infant boys, and all the non-virgin girls, then give the virgin girls to his men to use for their amusement -- for the crime of wishing to worship another god, we are well aware of what we ask for when we ask God to help us in smiting His enemies.

When you consider that the enemies of God will spend eternity burning in agony in Hell, a little war doesn't seem like much, does it?

Why should it "scare you" that we follow the Bible? In no place in the New Testament does God say we can ignore the Old Testament; quite the contrary! Jesus says we have to follow all of the Law, including executing certain types of sinners unless it is forbidden by "the powers that be"!

Re: The Latest Scientifical Insanity

I have come to this topic a little late in the day. Nevertheless, I refered to the original article with my Biblical Scientist hat on:

"The eternal recurrence of absolutely identical universes would seem to be prevented by the apparent existence of an intrinsic cosmic forgetfulness," he added.

We know this already! The Bible is clear that God can forget if He chooses
Heb:8:12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

(The so-called scientist has omitted to say that first you must be Saved™)

However, if we substitute “the apparent existence of an intrinsic cosmic forgetfulness” for the Word “God”, I think it is proof enough of His existence and it is far easier to understand!

Re: The Latest Scientifical Insanity

Okay, even I am amazed at THIS latest scientifical "discovery." By amazed, I mean astonished that anyone would take them seriously when they try and tell us that they've discovered a "blob" that's 12 bazillion years old. And then they named it after some chink princess.

Thank God I was washed in Jesus' blood and Saved(c). Any True Christian(tm) knows that "blobs in space" don't exist, but God Almighty up in Heaven sure does!

Giant Mystery Blob Discovered Near Dawn of Time

A newly found primordial blob may represent the most massive object ever discovered in the early universe, researchers announced today.

The gas cloud, spotted from 12.9 billion light-years away, could signal the earliest stages of galaxy formation back when the universe was just 800 million years old.

"I have never heard about any [similar] objects that could be resolved at this distance," said Masami Ouchi, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution in Pasadena, Calif. "It's kind of record-breaking."

A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers). An object 12.9 billion light-years away is seen as it existed 12.9 billion years ago, and the light is just now arriving.

The cloud predates similar blobs, known as Lyman-Alpha blobs, which existed when the universe was 2 billion to 3 billion years old. Researchers named their new find Himiko, after an ancient Japanese queen with an equally murky past.

Himiko holds more than 10 times as much mass as the next largest object found in the early universe, or roughly the equivalent mass of 40 billion suns. At 55,000 light years across, it spans about half the diameter of our Milky Way Galaxy.

Lyman-Alpha blobs remain a mystery because existing telescopes have a hard time peering so far back to nearly the dawn of the universe.

Himiko sits right on the doorstep of an era called the reionization epoch, which lasted between 200 million and 1 billion years after the Big Bang. That's when the universe had just emerged from its cosmic dark ages and had begun brightening through the formation of stars and galaxies. Hot, energized hydrogen gas from that time period has allowed astronomers to begin seeing some objects — as much good as it does to squint at such fuzzy blobs.

"Even for astronomers, we don't understand," Ouchi told SPACE.com. "We are keen to try to understand what those systems are in the reionization epoch."

Himiko may represent an ionized gas halo surrounding a super-massive black hole, or a cooling gas cloud that indicates a primordial galaxy, Ouchi noted. But it might also be the result of a collision between two young galaxies, or the outgoing wind of a highly active star nursery, or a single giant galaxy.

Pinning down this riddle will require further telescope time. The W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii can help accurately estimate star formation in the blob, while NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory could test the super-massive black hole scenario, Ouchi noted. And even Hubble could get in on the action.

"We're planning deep infrared imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope to tell whether [Himiko] has merger-like qualities or not," Ouchi said.

However, that particular research hinges upon the future success of a risky repair mission to the aging Hubble. Astronauts are slated to blast off with the space shuttle Atlantis in the attempt next month.

For now, researchers may celebrate the fact that they found Himiko at all. They almost overlooked the blob among 207 galaxy candidates, while sweeping a portion of the sky designated the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey Field.

Re: The Latest Scientifical Insanity

If don’t much care for science fiction. Not one of us reading this is ever going to see that thing that the slant so-called astrologer saw and I doubt that he got a good look at it.

He’s probably making all this up. He takes some fuzzy photos, scribbles down a few exciting ideas and “bang!” an amazing theory starts and he expects us all to believe this.

Well, Mr Masami Ouchi, (if that is your name) I for one am not going to accept a ludicrous story of something you said happened ages ago on the mere say so of someone who wasn’t there at the time.

a portion of the sky designated the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey Field.

A Subaru XMM? Isn't that what Brother Wide-O is forced to drive instead of a Godly Escalade?
