Only one post and you've shown your ignorance of evolution and evolutionists. Realizing that is evolution is true doesn't mean living strictly on rationality. Evolutionists have just a right to have emotions as everyone else. Creationists don't have a monopoly on them because they believe in a disproven fantasy. It seems that your post really says creationists are the robots. Instead of actually learning about evolution they just believe whatever the bible or pastor tells them to believe. I'm not sure if you have heard, but for one Temperance Brennan is a fictional character, you don't have to do any digging to figure that out. Secondly, there are many genius scientists and evolutionists in the real world whom have learned that evolution doesn't equal strict unwavering rationalism. You might want to trying learning something about it before you come on here and spout complete ignorance on the matter.

Correct. I think this one is finally nailed.

Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth 3427 upon the circle 2329 (chuwg 1) circle, circuit, compass 2) (BDB) vault (of the heavens) of the earth 776, and the inhabitants 3427 thereof [are] as grasshoppers 2284;

It is written 'circle' but that can surely mean a sphere- shape, too? Apparently not The term that would mean both circle and sphere is 'duwr'


Isa 29:3 And I will camp 2583 against thee round about 1754, (duwr 1) ball, circle a) circle b) ball) and will lay siege 6696 against thee with a mount ..

duwr means both circle and ball.

Isa 22:18 He will surely 6801 violently turn 6801 and toss 6802 thee [like] a ball 1754 (duwr 1) ball, circle a) circle b) ball) into a large 7342 3027 country

but chwgh always means (flat) circle, never a sphere.

Isa 44:13 The carpenter 2796 6086 stretcheth out 5186 [his] rule 6957; he marketh it out 8388 with a line 8279; he fitteth 6213 it with planes 4741, and he marketh it out 8388 with the compass 4230,b-mchwgh/mĕchuwgah [1) circle-instrument, compass] {Strongs concordances} and maketh 6213 it after the figure 8403 of a man ...

The sense of a thing 'me-gah' that describes circles (chwgh) is seen here.

For what it's worth the Greek versions use the term 'guros' (circle) to translate this rather than 'sphairos'.

No, no, NO! It states that we share a common ancestor with neanderthals.

evidence from sequencing mitochondrial DNA indicates that no significant gene flow occurred between H. neanderthalensis and H. sapiens, and, therefore, the two were separate species that shared a common ancestor about 660,000 years ago.

Read between the lines. If we have "a common" ancestor (and are NOT the same exact species), that means we also have "a non-common" ancestor (that is NOT the same species as humans nor neanderthals) . This FACT is one of the biggest lies (or better yet, untold truths) in the human evolution theory. Not only did we evolve, we are also a race of hybrids. The question is "where are our ancestors with the brains that are larger than ours"? The answer is they are probably in the same direction that most people pray. UP!!! And I honestly don't think they are "Gods" either. Call me crazy, but I am starting to believe that our process of evolution had help from non-Earth Homosapiens. That would explain the evolutionary gaps and our love affair with "holy" human-like beings in the sky (that some of us claim) created us. Maybe they did; in a more down to Earth sexual way of course.

I am NOT at all trying to do anything but find out the TRUTH. That's it. I am a truth seeker that believes EVERYTHING we study should be rooted in science (and NOT ideology). Religion ain't gonna get us to the TRUTH. Therefore, I don't do religion. Got it! Good!

Now that we've cleared that up, I find it very interesting that creation and evolution both might have been "half-right". If my theory about non-Earth humans is correct, then that would honestly put to rest the origins of religion and the search for all of these "missing links". It is only logical that our "missing links" were smarter than us and probably space traveling.

We have evidence of my theory being true all around us. The Pyramids all over Earth (not just the ones in Egypt). The ancient landing strips in Peru. Multiple languages spoken on Earth (if we all came from the same seed, all languages would be more similar and less numerous). Again, call me crazy, but space traveling human ancestors makes more sense to me than 100% evolution. Like I said, Darwin was half-right IMO.

Urbancharlotte, you just ruined all your credibility. Evolution by natural selection has mounds of evidence in support of it. The idea of non earth humans is an unsubstantiated fantasy. What you're really doing is looking at things in the world then claiming an external entity influenced their 'creation' because you don't understand it. That's really just an argument from ignorance. There's no empirical evidence to even remotely substantiate your claim. You're right on one thing though. It's all your opinion, not fact.

Scepticism would do you some good. Most scientists and historians find the author's conclusions to be based on faulty pseudo scientific evidence. The other folks conclusions are similarly regarded as nonsense. You may want to learn to look deeper into the subject rather than believing the unsubstantiated conclusions of a few charlatons.
