The Biblical Secretaries of God knew about the relativity of the sunlight and therefore could not accept the heliocentric sun as the Light of the World and a Visible God. My article "At the Sources of the Copernican Heliocentrism" was printed in the "Urania" 1/1981/LII, monthly of the Polish Association of the Friends of Astronomy. Belief in Heliocentrism means belief in the sun god "seated on the royal throne" and ruling the world. (De revol. I,10)

On behalf of President Vaclav Havel, please allow me to reply to your letter of March 14. Firstly, I hope you will forgive the delay in replying.
President Havel would agree with you that, in this rapidly changing and transforming era, it is necessary to find some basic values which can bring greater security and meaning to life. He has often warned of the danger of those who think of man as the center of the universe, thus separating humans from the world around us and making it appear that we have no one to whom we answer. Because of such philosophies, the former regimes throughout the region left behind environments that were deeply damaged and societies which can form the basis of strong and healthy democracies of the modern age. The President supports those, like you, who are engaged in this important task. He joins me in wishing you all the best. Please accept also the assurances of my highest regards.

The Prof. R. Dawkins Delusion
In recent projects, R. Dawkins clarifies that his agenda is not simply the promotion of evolution, or even the “public understanding of science”, as his endowed professorship at Oxford is titled. His agenda is destruction of religion. He produces a documentary on religion for British television titled “The Root of All Evil.” In 2003 Tanner Lectures at Harvard were titled The Science of Religion and the Religion of Science. On these occasions he assaulted religion with venom not seen since since F. Engels praised Copernicus as a giant of humakind.. Dawkins and his followers, in their Oxbridge and Ivy League professorial robes, lament that the great engine of secularization has stalled and religion is coming back.
In 2006 R. Dawkins had his atheistic book The God Delusion published by Houghton Mifflin and Bentham Presss. The message of the Book is very blunt: the concept of god is one big, dangerous delusion that we must work to discard. Dawkins was given time to present his atheistic viewpoints to millions of listeners in his British Broadcasting Corporation documentary. His arguments were given serious consideration in the October 22, 2006, New York Times Book Review and Britain's September 23, 2006 Guardian Unlimited. The book is openly promoted and sold at large book dealers throughout the US and Great Britain. Western governments and mass media reaction were similar: Western governments were silent, and mass media sources promoted it. The publication of this book “coincided” with a new war in the middle East in which Israel fought on two fronts: against Hizbulla in Lebanon and against Hamas in Gaza.
According to Prof. R. Dawkins, The god of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction; jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a mysogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. Those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror.
In contrast to the Hindu Aryans - “the most metaphysical and spiritual people on earth” – the ancient Hebrews, Blavatsky wrote in her The Secret Doctrine, held earth-bound, tribal views that “characterize many of the Jews to this day – gross realism, selfishness, and sensuality.”
A paradox remained at the heart of evolution. If life is a battle for survival then why are people nice to one another, why do they behave altruistically with no clear benefit to themselves. When Darwin put forward his theory of aggressive survival, he incorporated the competitive ethos of Victorian capitalism; in Dawkin's version, self-interest is encoded in our molecules. Dawkins maintained ruthlessness in the natural world by claiming in his The Selfish Gene that individual genes, not entire organisms, are ceaselessly trying to eliminate their molecular competitors. From the sociobiological perspective, although acts of human generosity may appear to be altruistic, they conceal fights being waged deep inside our cells, where the genes are selfishly influencing our behavior to ensure their own future. But in reality as his critics pointed out – genes can't think, and they can't have motives, selfish or otherwise.

(Israelnationalnews.com) James Jones, U.S. President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser, has apologized for an anti-Semitic joke he told while addressing a conservative think tank in Washington. “I wish that I had not made this off the cuff joke at the top of my remarks, and I apologize to anyone who was offended by it," Jones said in a written statement.
Jones, who served as former President George W. Bush’s Middle East military envoy and was considered by the IDF to be a “thorn in the ribs,” (Israeli idiom for 'pain in the neck'-ed.) updated an old joke about a greedy Jewish merchant and placed it the setting of Afghanistan. Unnoticed by media reports of the joke that emphasized its Jewish aspect, Jones also referred to a Taliban terrorist as a “fighter” and “warrior.”
The joke involves a Taliban "fighter” who asks a Jewish merchant for water, only to be told that he sells ties, not water, but that there is a restaurant two miles away. The Taliban "warrior,” after delivering an anti-Semitic tirade, returns an hour later saying, “Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant.”
Andrew D. White in his book History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom wrote: “Seneca, had the scientific instinct and prophetic inspiration to declare that the time would come when comets would be found to move in accordance with natural law.” The “prophecy” of Seneca had not been forgotten. Obviously, Copernicus rejected the Biblical interpretation of comets as extraordinary signs sent by God. The thoughts of Newton in science and Bayle in philosophy were evidently tending to accomplish the “prophecy” of Seneca.
Pierre Bayle, in tearing down the pretended scriptural doctrine of comets, tore down much else: of all men in his time, no one has so thoroughly prepared the way for Voltaire. He declared: “Comets are bodies subject to the ordinary law of Nature, and not prodigies amenable to no law.”
Newton, in 1686, having taken the data furnished by the comet of 1680, demonstrated that comets are guided in their movements by the same principle that controls the planets in their orbits. Halley recognized the comet of 1682 a one which had already appeared at stated periods, and foretold its return in about 75 year; and the battle was fully won when Clairaut, seconded by Lalande and Mme. Lepaute, predicted distinctly the time when the comet would arrive at its perihelion, and the prediction was verified.
Seneca, Copernicus, Galileo, Cassini, Newton, Halley, and Clairaut had gained the victory. The natural law cometary concept means that we are part of a system (Copernicus's machina mundi) not requiring constant patching and arbitrary interference. Interestingly, Kepler disagreed; he insisted on a compromise formula that comets might be heavenly bodies moving in regular orbits, and even obedient to law, and yet be sent as “signs in the heavens.
It was total war of Science on Jewish people and their Biblical Science. That's exactly the same what the Psalmist expressed in his words: “Come, let us cut them off from nationhood, that Israel's name not be remembered anymore!” (Psalms 83:5)
Seneca, Copernicus, Galileo, Cassini, Newton, Halley, and Clairaut “killed the God of the Bible with their science” and their disciples sacrificed million of Jews to Copernicus's sun god (Baal, Molech etc) in the ovens of Auschwitz and in other places.
The War on Jewish People Goes On
By striving to prevent, and then to roll back and destroy (through processes of ceaseless vilification, homicidal slander in the media, arming and inciting hostile neighbors, etc) Jewish sovereignty, the nations, led by the greatest powers in the world, have for a long time been engaged in a process of de facto de-legitimization, even banning, of Judaism: Religious bigotry, anyone? Under Western pressure, exerted through local stooges, Muslims control or ban Jewish worship at Judaism's holiest sites. "Ethnic cleansing" - remember that watchword of anathema? The nations intend that more and more of Israel be made Judenrein. How quaint, how supremely cynical, that this is concomitant with their crocodile (and very belated) tears about Auschwitz.
Let's be clear. In instituting and sustaining, by all means short of nuclear war, a process that prevents Jews from settling their land, the nations reject the bedrock of Judaism and deny the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and that means, too, the Scriptures in which His promises to them are recorded. True, intact Judaism is to be erased. As Hannah Newman so succinctly stated: "Some people are working for a world that is free -- free of Jews."
The Bible's status within Israeli society is declining, students are also losing interest, and their Bible grades aren't high. The general public, through indifference that turns into ignorance, is starting to lose its possession of this invaluable asset. It is becoming the property of the religious community only, which continues to invest it and teach it at all ages and in all frameworks. (Condi's Gift: Partition Plans Redux by Eugene Narrett, February 09, 2005, IsraelNationalNews.com)
At first in June and then in July of 2006 Israeli soldiers were kidnapped. Rockets came raining down on major population centers. 1 million Israelis had to live in bomb shelters. A war was being waged in the North and the South and terror activity was up in the West.
The media lost an opportunity to encourage and strengthen the populace during last summer's war, Drucker, the diplomatic commentator for Channel Ten, charged: "During the war, we sinned by fanning the public hysteria... What the public wanted was some kind of massage to the national ego; it wanted all's-clear sirens. But during the war, we did not succeed in calming down the hysteria or in reducing the element of tension - and sometimes we did the exact opposite." (Hillel Fendel, Israeli Media Self-Criticism: “We Fanned the Hysteria” Arutz Sheva, 2.7.07)
In those days when the Jewish people were attacked on two fronts I sent “a message to the national ego”, a paraphrase of the well known Biblical verse (Jdg 5:20), which was published on July 24, 2006 8:10 PM by Yediot Achronot (Ynetnews): Stars from their courses will be fighting against enemies of Israel.
Two weeks or so the comet became visible to the naked eye:
Fact File:
Discovery date: August 7, 2006
Discoverer: Australian astronomer Robert H. McNaught
Alternate designations: C/2006 P1, Comet McNaught, Great Comet of 2007
Core Size: 300metres - estimate
Coma Size: 100,000km - estimate
Tail Length: Up to 300,000,000km – estimate
Reuter, Thu Jan 25, 3:54 AM ET
The McNaught Comet is seen in the southern New Zealand sky from Dunedin in the country's South Island January 23, 2007. The comet, named after Australian astronomer Rob McNaught, has a tail about 30 million km.
Halley's was hugely disappointing, Hale-Bopp was striking in a limited kind of way, but Comet McNaught is breathtakingly beautiful.
“The nucleus (centre) of the comet is very impressive looking through a telescope. It's just a great big ball of fire, it's amazing" Northland Astronomical Society treasurer Deborah Hambly said this week.
McNaught is 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet was in 1986. “"We might get a comet this bright once every 30 years or so, but we can only predict them once they have been discovered," Ms Hambly said.
Let me remind here that in 1986 God redirected Halley's comet to the Southern hemisphere thus mocking Newton's inviolable laws. The American people still remember how one of their astronauts advertised “from space” that it was Newton who guided them in their “most fantastic journey to the moon.” The word God sounds so unscientifically these days…
Alexis Dolgorukii of the Russian princely pedigree wrote in his article What Is “THEOSOPHY”, a Process or a Religion: “We have learned so much since Einstein’s introduction of his General Theory of Relativity that the idea of something called a “Law” of nature is deemed as quaint, dated, and more than faintly ridiculous.” God rules His stars not the Roman Natural Law.
The logic of my message to Ynetnews was totally unscientific; I would says it was an interventionist logic based on prophecy of Amos:
“And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall built the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof. And they shall no more be torn up of their land which I give them, says the Lord your God.” Did you catch that phrase, “and they shall no more be torn up out of their land which I give them, says the Lord your God.” When God orders, the “stars from their courses fight against enemies of Israel…” - Amos 9:14-15
How come, that NASA with its orbiting Hubble telescope or the Russian Star City’s astronomers, or the sojourners of the International Space Station did not predict its appearance? See official NASA website: “A Bright Comet is coming: That object is comet C/2006 P1 (Comet McNaught). It was discovered on August 7th, 2006 by the hugely successful comet discoverer Rob McNaught…)”. I would say that interventionist logic expressed in Biblical phrase: “He Never sleeps or slumbers the Guardian of Israel” is better than the logic of Seneca and his admirers. God's Starfighter circled the earth for over five months. Consider in this context the title of an article published by the German magazine SPIEGEL-ONLINE: “The Greek Inferno, The Left at the Mercy of God.” Like Soviet Union after Halley's Comet swerved in 1986.
Did Copernicus plagiarize?
N. Copernicus befriended two men when he was studying medicine at the Padua University: a certain Celio Calganini who, according to Erasmus of Rotterdam, anticipated Copernicus’s book with his That the Sky Stands and the Earth Moves,* and one Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) who, like Copernicus himself, dabbled in astronomy. He also wrote dense philosophical treatises and long classical poems, and held high status as the most celebrated physician of his time (in his role as papal doctor). Fracastoro could not resolve the origin of syphilis, so he wrote a poem and devised a myth, naming syphilis to honor a fictional shepherd (don't mistake him with the astronaut Alan B. Shepard) of his own invention.
*Interestingly, the original title of Copernicus's book was De mundi revolutionibus i.e. About the Movements of the Earth. This was changed by the publisher into The revolutionibus orbium coelestium which makes mockery of Copernicus's hypothesis!
Did Copernicus plagiarize Calganini's Book, which suspiciously disappeared from history? Consider this strange fact; on Copernicus's tombstone was placed no record of his lifelong labors, no mention of his great discovery; but there was graven upon it simply a prayer: “I ask not the grace accorded to Paul; not that given to Peter; give me only the favor which Thou didst show to the thief on the cross.” In what other sense could Copernicus have identified himself with the crucified thief?
In his poem Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus Fracastoro tells us that we must not view syphilis as divine retribution for human malfeasance. Rather, syphilis originated by natural (i.e. materialistic) causes that can, in principle, be understood. In fact, Fracastoro continues to argue that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjuctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly nostra trium superiorum, Saturni, Iovis et Martis (our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars) (Stephen Jay Gould, Syphilis and the Shepherd of Atlantis, Natural History 8 (109) Oct. 2000).
You see, Newton himself never believed that bodies attract each other at a distance (for the same reason, Galileo rejected the lunar theory of the tides).It seems, he was most reluctant to adopt a theory which came from the same stable as, for example, the theory that “influenza” epidemics are due to an astral “influence” (influenza so called because formerly attributed by astrologers to the influence of the stars).
Now, my question is, do you believe that the AIDS epidemic is a result of “poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunction, (sexual act)” or, rather it is to be understood as a warning of God “annoyed” by the abominable excesses of the Sex and Drugs Revolution?
Fracastoro knew that syphilis infected only humans, but he regarded this observation as a puzzle under his theory of poisonous airborne particles that might, in principle, harm all life. He ignored, that unlike humans, the animals don't have prostitutes or brothels and don't do pilgrimages, and that explains why they are not infected with syphilis. A Polish chronicler of 16th century noted that morbus Gallicus was brought to Poland by a woman who went with a pilgrimage to Rome. Let me remind here that St. Thomas Aquinas considered it necessary for every town to set up a brothel. Copernicus's brother Andreas who was a high ranking curialist in Rome (he reported how his brother advanced in his work on the book) died of syphilis upon his return to Ermland (Warmia). Using Andreas' reports, Cardinal J.A. Widmanstaedt had explained to Pope Clemens VII (1478-1534) Copernicus's heliocentrism (Copernicanum de motu terrae sententiam explicavi), for what he was awarded a precious gift, a Greek manuscript preserved to this day in the Munich Library. Interestingly, in old chronicles syphilis was called “Canonical Flu”.
Suzanne M. Rino in her article Hitler and the Occult: Nazism, Reincarnation and Rock Culture (www.ewtn.com/library/NEWAGE/HITLEROC.TXT) observed: “The Swastika was originally a Sanskrit sun symbol, denoting a heliocentric cosmos ordered by an Aryan nature god who became the reinterpreted “God” of the Nazis.” The Nazis were as pornographic as their Renaissance predecessors. In the Indian cosmogony, this sun god was symbolized by a linga (phallus), and a yoni (vagina) stood for the earth.

Halley's was hugely disappointing, Hale-Bopp was striking in a limited kind of way, but Comet McNaught is breathtakingly beautiful.
“The nucleus (centre) of the comet is very impressive looking through a telescope. It's just a great big ball of fire, it's amazing" Northland Astronomical Society treasurer Deborah Hambly said this week.
McNaught is 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet was in 1986. “"We might get a comet this bright once every 30 years or so, but we can only predict them once they have been discovered," Ms Hambly said.
Let me remind here that in 1986 God redirected Halley's comet to the Southern hemisphere thus mocking Newton's inviolable laws. The American people still remember how one of their astronauts advertised “from space” that it was Newton who guided them in their “most fantastic journey to the moon.” The word God sounds so unscientifically these days…
Alexis Dolgorukii of the Russian princely pedigree wrote in his article What Is “THEOSOPHY”, a Process or a Religion: “We have learned so much since Einstein’s introduction of his General Theory of Relativity that the idea of something called a “Law” of nature is deemed as quaint, dated, and more than faintly ridiculous.” God rules His stars not the Roman Natural Law.
The logic of my message to Ynetnews was totally unscientific; I would says it was an interventionist logic based on prophecy of Amos:
“And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall built the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof. And they shall no more be torn up of their land which I give them, says the Lord your God.” Did you catch that phrase, “and they shall no more be torn up out of their land which I give them, says the Lord your God.” When God orders, the “stars from their courses fight against enemies of Israel…” - Amos 9:14-15
How come, that NASA with its orbiting Hubble telescope or the Russian Star City’s astronomers, or the sojourners of the International Space Station did not predict its appearance? See official NASA website: “A Bright Comet is coming: That object is comet C/2006 P1 (Comet McNaught). It was discovered on August 7th, 2006 by the hugely successful comet discoverer Rob McNaught…)”. I would say that interventionist logic expressed in Biblical phrase: “He Never sleeps or slumbers the Guardian of Israel” is better than the logic of Seneca and his admirers. God's Starfighter circled the earth for over five months. Consider in this context the title of an article published by the German magazine SPIEGEL-ONLINE: “The Greek Inferno, The Left at the Mercy of God.” Like Soviet Union after Halley's Comet swerved in 1986.
Did Copernicus plagiarize?
N. Copernicus befriended two men when he was studying medicine at the Padua University: a certain Celio Calganini who, according to Erasmus of Rotterdam, anticipated Copernicus’s book with his That the Sky Stands and the Earth Moves,* and one Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) who, like Copernicus himself, dabbled in astronomy. He also wrote dense philosophical treatises and long classical poems, and held high status as the most celebrated physician of his time (in his role as papal doctor). Fracastoro could not resolve the origin of syphilis, so he wrote a poem and devised a myth, naming syphilis to honor a fictional shepherd (don't mistake him with the astronaut Alan B. Shepard) of his own invention.
*Interestingly, the original title of Copernicus's book was De mundi revolutionibus i.e. About the Movements of the Earth. This was changed by the publisher into The revolutionibus orbium coelestium which makes mockery of Copernicus's hypothesis!
Did Copernicus plagiarize Calganini's Book, which suspiciously disappeared from history? Consider this strange fact; on Copernicus's tombstone was placed no record of his lifelong labors, no mention of his great discovery; but there was graven upon it simply a prayer: “I ask not the grace accorded to Paul; not that given to Peter; give me only the favor which Thou didst show to the thief on the cross.” In what other sense could Copernicus have identified himself with the crucified thief?
In his poem Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus Fracastoro tells us that we must not view syphilis as divine retribution for human malfeasance. Rather, syphilis originated by natural (i.e. materialistic) causes that can, in principle, be understood. In fact, Fracastoro continues to argue that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjuctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly nostra trium superiorum, Saturni, Iovis et Martis (our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars) (Stephen Jay Gould, Syphilis and the Shepherd of Atlantis, Natural History 8 (109) Oct. 2000).
You see, Newton himself never believed that bodies attract each other at a distance (for the same reason, Galileo rejected the lunar theory of the tides).It seems, he was most reluctant to adopt a theory which came from the same stable as, for example, the theory that “influenza” epidemics are due to an astral “influence” (influenza so called because formerly attributed by astrologers to the influence of the stars).
Now, my question is, do you believe that the AIDS epidemic is a result of “poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunction, (sexual act)” or, rather it is to be understood as a warning of God “annoyed” by the abominable excesses of the Sex and Drugs Revolution?
Fracastoro knew that syphilis infected only humans, but he regarded this observation as a puzzle under his theory of poisonous airborne particles that might, in principle, harm all life. He ignored, that unlike humans, the animals don't have prostitutes or brothels and don't do pilgrimages, and that explains why they are not infected with syphilis. A Polish chronicler of 16th century noted that morbus Gallicus was brought to Poland by a woman who went with a pilgrimage to Rome. Let me remind here that St. Thomas Aquinas considered it necessary for every town to set up a brothel. Copernicus's brother Andreas who was a high ranking curialist in Rome (he reported how his brother advanced in his work on the book) died of syphilis upon his return to Ermland (Warmia). Using Andreas' reports, Cardinal J.A. Widmanstaedt had explained to Pope Clemens VII (1478-1534) Copernicus's heliocentrism (Copernicanum de motu terrae sententiam explicavi), for what he was awarded a precious gift, a Greek manuscript preserved to this day in the Munich Library. Interestingly, in old chronicles syphilis was called “Canonical Flu”.
Suzanne M. Rino in her article Hitler and the Occult: Nazism, Reincarnation and Rock Culture (www.ewtn.com/library/NEWAGE/HITLEROC.TXT) observed: “The Swastika was originally a Sanskrit sun symbol, denoting a heliocentric cosmos ordered by an Aryan nature god who became the reinterpreted “God” of the Nazis.” The Nazis were as pornographic as their Renaissance predecessors. In the Indian cosmogony, this sun god was symbolized by a linga (phallus), and a yoni (vagina) stood for the earth.

The Philosophy Behind the number π
The ancient Chinese used 3 as the value of π. About 1650 B.C. the Egyptians improved on the approximation. The Greek mathematician Ptolemy calculated a value for π that was equivalent of 3.1416
At all events, there are facts which prove that certain astronomical calculations were as correct with the Chaldeans in the days of Julius Caesar as they are now. When the calendar was reformed by the Conqueror, the civil year was found to correspond so little with the seasons, that summer had merged into the autumn months, and the autumn months into full winter. It was Sosigenes, the Chaldean astronomer, who restored order into the confusion, by putting back the 25th of March ninety days, thus making it correspond with the vernal equinox; and it was Sosigenes, again, who fixed the lengths of the months as they now remain.
In America, it was found by the Montezuman army, that the calendar of the Aztecs gave an equal number of days and weeks to each month. The extreme accuracy of their astronomical calculations was so great, that no error has been discovered in their reckoning by subsequent verifications; while the Europeans, who landed in Mexico in 1519, were, by the Julian calendar, nearly eleven days in advance of the exact time. (IU, vol 1, ch.1)
Irrational numbers are such as can never be expressed quite accurately, that is to say, in the language of arithmetic, such as contain an irrational fraction; among them there is a large number of the most important quantities that constantly occur in all calculations, e.g. the square roots of most numbers, the relation of the diagonals to the side of a square, of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. This simple example will prove in a thoroughly tangible manner the organic inadequacy of the human intellect, its capacity to express even quite simple relations.
In handbooks they are usually defined as “magnitudes that exist only in the imagination;” it would be perhaps more correct to say, magnitudes which can occur anywhere except in the imagination, for man is incapable of conceiving them at all. Through this brilliant discovery calculation received an unsuspected elasticity: the absolutely unthinkable henceforth served to determine the relations of concrete facts, which otherwise could not have been tackled. The complementary step was soon taken: where one magnitude approaches “infinitely” near to another without ever reaching it, the gap was arbitrarily bridged, and over this bridge man marched from the sphere of the Impossible into the sphere of the Possible.. Thus, for example, the insoluble problems of the circle were solved by regarding the latter as a polygon with an “infinite” number of sides, all therefore infinitely small. Pascal had already spoken of magnitudes which are “smaller than any given magnitude” and had designated them quantities negligeables; but Newton and Leibnitz went much further, in that they systematically perfected calculation with these infinite series – the infinitesimal calculation. For the first time only mathematics were redeemed from rigidity to life, for the first time they were enabled to analyse accurately not only motionless shape but also motion. Our acientific oprocedure is obviously the negation of the Absolute. That was an acute and happy remark of Goethe’s: “He who devotes himself to nature attempts to find the squaring of the circle” The infinitely great is introduced into mathematics as unity divided by an infinitely small number. Concerning this supposition Berkely remarks: “It is shocking to good sense.”
Leonardo even declared motion to be the cause of all life; he was soon followed by Descartes, who viewed matter itself as motion – everywhere the mechanical interpretation of empirical facts. But mechanic are an ocean over which the ship of mathematics alone can carry us. Only in so far as a science can be reduced to mathematical principles does it seem to us to be exact, and that because it is so far strictly mechanical and consequently “navigable.”
I can best draw the moral of what has been said by quoting a remark of Leibnitz: “Rest can be regarded as an infinitely slow speed or an infinitely great retardation, so that in any case the law of rest is to be considered merely as a special case within the laws of motion. Similarly we can regard two perfectly equal magnitudes as unequal, by looking upon the inequality as infinitely small (Letter to Bayle, July 1687) In Bayle’s Dictionnaire I find under Zeno a violent attack upon all mathematics: “Mathematics have one fatal, immeasurable defect: they are in fact a mere chimera. The mathematical points, and consequently also the lines and surfaces of the geometricians, their spheres, axes, etc. are all abstractions which have never possessed a trace of reality; that is why these phantasies are even of less importance than those of the poets, for the latter invented nothing which is intrinsically impossible, like th mathematicians (square circle),” etc. This abuse has no special significance; but it calls our attention to the important fact that mathematics, not merely since Cardanus and Leibnitz, but from all time, have drawn their strength from “imaginary” or, more properly speaking, absolutely inconceivable magnitudes. When we think of it, the point according to Euclid’s definition is no less inconceivable than √-1. Obviously, our “exact knowledge” is a peculiar thing. The keenest criticism of our higher mathematics is found in Berkeley’s The Analyst and A defence of Free-thinking in Mathematics.
In modern materialist cosmology, a similar question is whether or not neutrinos have mass, or do they actually occupy space? Nobody knows. In scholastic physics they asked the question: “How many angels may sit upon the head of a pin?” They wondered if angels, or spirit bodies generally, occupy physical space. In the Hindu religious tradition god is called puru (point). This puru became the god of Big Bang.
Sar (circle, saros) is the Babylonian god of the sky. He is also Assaros or Asshur (the son of Shem), and Zero -- Zero-ana, the chakkra, or wheel, boundless time. Hence, as the first step taken by Zoroaster, while founding his new religion, was to change the most sacred deities of the Sanscrit Veda into names of evil spirits, in his Zend Scriptures, and even to reject a number of them, we find no traces in the Avesta of Chakkra -- the symbolic circle of the sky.
A Christian sermon that has survived from the mid-fifth century called On The Trinity quotes in profusion the words of the Pagan gods. The doctrine of the trinity probably derives from sacred geometry: “the transcendental number” π is hidden within the circle, a symbol of the All and so of God.” the Puranas insist on the identity of Vishnu with Time and Space*
And that seromon expains the strange or not so strange case of the Jewish mathematician Landau, who “in 1934. had defined π in his textbook published in Gőttingen in that year by the, now fairly usual, method of saying that π/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes. This unleashed an academic dispute, which was to end in Landau’s dismissal from his chair at Gőttingen. Bierbach, an eminent number theorist who disgraced himself by his racist views, explains the reasons for Landau’s dismissal: - Thus the valiant rejection by the Gőttingen student body which a great mathmatician, Edmund Landau, has experienced is due in he final analysis to the fact that the un-German style of this man in his research and teaching is unbearable to German feelings. A people who have perceived how members of another race are working to impose ideas foreign to its own must refuse teachers of an alien culture.” (A history of Pi, www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uc/~history/HistTopics/Pi_through_the_ages.html) Like his forefathers conquering Canaan and destroying the sacred stone circles symbolizing the disc of Akhenaten's sun god, Landau, so to say, put the number π into a finite strait jacket and thus offended the religious feelings of the Nazi votaries of the sun god Wotan. It was so un-Aryan and un-Grman of him.
The shrine itself probably represented the world, with its four corners radiating from a central point. The circle seems to be an archetype, found in nearly all cultures as a symbol of eternity, of the world and the psyche. It represents, in both temporal and spatial terms, a totality: tracing a circle or circumambulating – a common religious practice in many traditions – means that you are constantly coming back to where you started: you discover that in your end is your beginning.
For the ancient Indians, a destruction and recreation of individual forms and creatures occurred every Kalpa or day of Brahma. Each day of Brahma had duration of about 4 billion years. The elements themselves, together with all forms, undergo dissolution into Pure Spirit, which then reincarnates itself back into matter every lifetime of Brahma, which lasts about 311 trillion years. Among the Greeks who thought of the Brahmins as perfect Pythagorean philosophers, the Stoics were the most fervent believers in the Eternal Return (anakuklesis, lit. Eternal Wheel). They claimed that all objects in the universe were bound together in an absolutely determinate web of actions and reactions (this Stoic dogma was also embraced by Newton), and that this determinism led to a precise return of all events. That is, no event is unique and occurs once and for all, but rather every event has occurred, occurs, and will occur, perpetually (Cf. perpetual motion dogma); the same individuals have appeared, appear, and reappear in every return of the cycle. In each and every cycle Socrates will be tried, condemned, and executed. Plato’s cosmology was also cyclic, with a periodic destruction and recreation of the universe in conjunction with various astronomical events. The same belief is reflected in the Latin term resurrection which is used almost invariably in nonscriptural references. In the Gospel accounts it nowhere says Christ rose again, only that He was risen (some prefer to speak that he was raised). In the Latin version surrexit is used, not resurrexit (‘He has risen,’ not ‘He has risen again’ (the particle ‘re’ has the same meaning in Latin and English, ‘again.’). The term ‘resurrection’ makes sense, however, if one assumes the identity of Christ and sun. Impersonality of such a sun god matches impersonality of Brahma! This philosophy inspired Newton’s identification of gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. Here it is how Newton described his dogma of ‘transubstantiation’ in the paper entitled “De Aere et Aethere”:
Like Copernicus, the authors of the Palestinian history textbooks proclaim: “Moses and his followers wandered in the desert; they were not endowed with any scientific or artistic talents and made no cultural achievements whatsoever…” Using the words of the Psalmist, the founding fathers of the modern astronomy and their Palestinian admirers: “Set their mouth against the Heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. And they say how God knows. And is there knowledge in the Eternal God?” (Ps. 73:9-11). They recognized the God of the Bible as a liar and ignoramus because He taught: “When you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon, and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing them or serving them” (Dt. 4:9) Palestinian state would be a child of Copernican heliocentrism.
1.Comment by Cyriac: “Here’s my problem with the guys who wrote those Psalms and Chronicles that you quote in your post. They were only human! And humans make mistakes.”
Comment by DPS: “Not when they’re inspired by the One True God, they don’t.”
Ahem, would this be the same “One True God” that inspired Kings 7:23 and Chronicles 4:2 which erroneously states that Pi equals 3.0 when in fact Pi equals 3.14159 (recurring), something even the ancient Egyptians knew.
Wow, I guess he *does* move in mysterious ways. I reckon that was a deliberate mistake, just to test us? Keep us on our toes, yeah? Or maybe they simply misheard this “One True God”, he should’ve spoken up or engraved them on a stone tablet for all to see!!
Well, least we have science to depend on, this “One True God” fella sounds very unreliable - just look at the book of Genesis for starters!!

Mathematics of the Fasting Buddha
Western thought came close to the basic dogma of heliocentric mathematics in Democritus’ theory of atoms and in Euclid’s “Elements”. The burning of the great library at Alexandria was supposed to prevent spreading of the Gnostic heresy but it failed. Behind the scholastic equivalence of light and matter which gives rise to the world machine by plurifying itself was the concept of the philosophers who speculated that all things were composed of atoms and who said that bodies were composed of surfaces, and surfaces of lines, and lines of points. But since there is no reality to a mathematical point or line, except when they are being conceptualized as such the world of Euclid belongs to the same category as the world of Platonic ideas; though merely mental, they were the ultimate objects, of which the visible and tangible objects of the world were only pale shadows. And that’s exactly what the Indian yogis dismissed contemptuously as the illusory realm of maya. In the Eastern view, searching for some kind of reality, either in the physical world (prakriti) or in the rational mind (manas) is a sheer waste of time, since they are both ultimately unreal. The Buddhist aims at pure consciousness with no object in sight (alaya-vijnana), which is practically synonymous with sunya (this sunya is the conditio sine qua non for the Newton gravity to work), the Void. Buddha merely stressed the sole reality of nirvana, which the Germans translate as Nullpunkt.*The Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are the cornerstones of the Taoist tradition and in them we find the initial identification of Nonbeing (Big Bang’s starting point) with the source of all things. In other places, the preferred term is wu (in Japanese mu), commonly translated as “Nonbeing”. Chuang Tzu, in effect, made Nonbeing an equivalent for the absolute Tao, a kind of absolute void. The principles of this nihilistic ontology are mirrored in Hindu mathematics which evolved into a mature place-value system promoting to full membership of a tenth numeral a round symbol for zero (graphic representation of point) or Sunya, as the Hindus called it. Confusion about the status of this mysterious numeral persisted for centuries, and as late as the 15th century it was described as “a symbol that merely causes trouble and lack of clarity.” How, it was asked, could a symbol, which means “nothing”, when placed after another numeral, enhance its value tenfold? The problem finds its solution in the philosophical theory of a “coincidence of opposites” (coincidentia oppositarum), that is identification of elements that are mutually exclusive in ordinary (Aristotelian) logic. The goal of introspection (atmanam viddhi or Greek gnothi seauthon) is to overcome the intellectual “opposites”; the being arises in the context of non-being. The Buddhist concept was known as dhrama-dhatus pratitya-samupada, which translates as “the interdependent arising of the universe”: things are said to have “emptiness” and “fullness of emptiness” at the same time.
*Theirs is the cosmic Christ preached by St. Paul in his Letter to the Colossians in whom “were created all things in heaven and earth” and who “holds all things in unity.” Teilhard de Chardin who was both a mystic and a Marxist (like Pope John Paul II) also centered on to this cosmic Christ regarding him as the point to which all creation (or at least all of it that can be saved) is destined by evolution itself to converge. The same idea is behind the expanding and contracting point of Big Bang hypothesis. Behind this perverted science lies the Pythagorean dogma proclaiming that extended physical bodies are composed of nonextended mathematical points. Accordingly Zeno argued that everything in the universe is both infinitely large and has no size at all. The infinite divisibility of any physical body regardless of size means that it is composed of an infinite number of elements and thus is infinitely large. On the other hand, the body has no size at all because no number of nonextended units can produce an extended body.
According to Max Muller "the two words 'cipher' and 'zero,' which are in reality but one . . . are to prove that our figures are borrowed from the Arabs."* Cipher is the Arabic "cifron," and means empty, a translation of the Sanscrit name of the nought "synya," he says. The Arabs had their figures from Hindustan, and never claimed the discovery for themselves.** As to the Pythagoreans, we need but turn to the ancient manuscripts of Boethius's Geometry, composed in the sixth century, to find in the Pythagorean numerals*** the 1 and the nought, as the first and final cipher. And Porphyry, who quotes from the Pythagorean Moderatus,**** says that the numerals of Pythagoras were "hieroglyphical symbols, by means whereof he explained ideas concerning the nature of things."
Consider James Jeans’ description of the universe of relativity as the four-dimensional surface of a cosmic sphere of which the inside is made of “empty space welded onto empty time.” This is how we are slowly driven away from the West’s traditional logic, back to the Eastern or should I say Aryan habit of using paradoxical statements in dealing with some formulations of ultimate reality. Consider the following sayings of the Buddha in which he attempts to destroy once for all the last attempts of the highly intellectualized Hindus to objectify some metaphysical concepts: “There is a path to walk on, there is walking done, but there is no traveler. There are deed being done, but there is no doer.” The same philosophy is reflected in the evangelical phrase, “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree.” And nobody wrote this decree!
Here are some other dogmas of modern science: The length of an object is not in the object but in its relationship to the observer (Einstein). Light is basically waves but is also basically particles (Bohr). The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line (Fuller). Some particles get from one place to another place without passing through the places in between (Planck). It is not hard for a modern physicist or mathematician to believe in the LSD world.
J. Jeans has written, “It is probably as meaningless to discuss how much room an electron takes up as it is to discuss how much room a fear, an anxiety or an uncertainty takes up.” My hard drive has capacity of 80 gigabytes. Could it accommodate all fears of my life? Only if it divides itself like Lenin’s electron! The new picture of the heliocentric universe disclosed by contemporary physics appears to be largely in accord with Eastern metaphysics. Indeed, the Jaina mathematicians believed in five kinds of infinity. There was positive infinity, that is, infinity in one direction. There was negative infinity, reached by counting in the opposite direction, starting from -1. There was also infinity in terms of area and infinity of time.
From the linguistic coincidence that fleece in German (Vliess) is cognate with the verb fliessen, “to flow”, Fictuld draws the conclusion that the Golden Fleece symbolizes philosophical gold, a liquid fiery substance said to flow from the planetary spheres. The substance was also known as the essence of the anima mundi, or soul of the world, supporting the general phenomenon of growth and the infinite potential for life. And that explains the golden mask of Tutenchamon. In ancient Egypt gold was believed to the the flesh of the sun. Accordingly, Children of the sun or Children of Light were considered the most favored human specimens. Read the Qumran epic about the war between Children of Light against the Children of Darkness. The baby Buddha was believed to be a child of million rays...
The Greek name Hermes is taken from an ancient root, herm (Harm al-Sharif), which means the active, or positive, radiant, principle of nature; sometimes translated as “vitality” or “generative force”; and known to ancient freemasonry – or the sons of light, the free “macon” – as “the cosmic fire”, Hiram, and later as Hiram Abif.
Ficino translated Orphica, a collection of hymns to various pagan deities, attributed to Orpheus but actually dating from the early centuries AD. He practiced magical self-improvement by singing hymns, accompanying himself on his ‘Orphic lyre’. He believed that by singing the hymn to a particular planetary deity, while concentrating his thoughts and emotions on the planet, he could draw down into himself a flow of the planet’s influence and power.. For the same reason Ch. Darwin played basson to his plants.
One of Ficino’s pupils, Francesco da Dia Cetto, explained more clearly how this was done. To attract the influence of the sun, the Orphic hymn to the deity was sung when the sun was ascending in Leo or Aries, on a Sunday and in the hour of the sun. The magician surrounded himself with things corresponding to the sun. He wore a golden mantle and a crown of laurel, strewed sunflowers about him, burned myrrh and frankincense on an altar and anointed himself with saffron, balsam or honey made when the sun was in Leo. The technique induced a sense of superhuman power, which could be applied to curing disease or for any other purpose.

Well, least we have science to depend on, this “One True God” fella sounds very unreliable - just look at the book of Genesis for starters!!”
In Acts 7:22 we read: “And Moses was educated in all the science and learning of the Egyptians.”We also learn from other authors that Moses was indebted for his knowledge to the mother of the Egyptian princess, Thermuthis. And yet Moses and all those who followed him had chosen to ignore the Egyptian science!
Not only regarding the sacred geometry with its value of pi but also the Egyptian teachings about human anatomy.
All parts of human body are mentioned in the Torah, excepting the spleen. There is no word in the Hebrew Bible denoting such an organ. The scientists impressed by Copernicus’s mathematics would conclude that the Biblical author ignorant of the real structure of the Universe did not possess the sure knowledge of human body either.
Well, Charles S. Finch III, M.D. in his paper Science and Symbol in Egyptian Medicine: Commentaries on the Edwin Smith Papyrus mentions the Egyptian term denoting spleen: nnshm. Moses rejected the Egyptian value of pi for the same reason for which the Israelites destroyed the circles of stones with their barbaric ritual of sacrificing first-born children to the sun god. Regarding the spleen I will tell here only this, we would be much better off if we payed closer attention to the Biblical medicine.
Tyler, the Biblical value of pi was, indeed, engraved in a large metal bowl or the “molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, and a line of thirty cubits which did encompass it round about” which gives value of pi 3.
Now, why don't you build a monument commemorating forever the value of pi which was revealed by the true and noble god, maybe Zeus, who used to kidnap beautiful boys like Ganymed for homosexual pleasures called orgasms of light.
Here is a tip, currently, the record for calculating pi is 51 billion digits and still counting because the decimal expansion of pi is nonterminating since only rational numbers have terminating decimal expansion. Thus, there really is no “last digit” (or last dance) in pi. I suggest, you start with the Great Wall of China as a part of your monument and after that you could go up to the stars and into infinity. Good Luck, Tyler!
*Tyler, if by 'recurring' you mean 'repeating', please, keep in mind that the Transcendental Numbers cannot be written as a finite sequence of numbers or a repeating sequence of such numbers, but require an Infinite Series of terms
Silverhill wrote #1323:
You (Roman Pytel) need to check the definition of “transcendental number”. It is the category of irrational numbers for which no equations can be written; they can only be expressed as the sums of infinite series.
This is entirely different from “being infinite”, however. Transcendental numbers are just as finite as 1, 0, 1/2, etc.
Silverhill, I followed your advice and here is what I found:
Transcendental
In math, a term applied to any equation, curve, or quantity which cannot be represented or defined by an algebraic expression of a finite number of terms, with numeral and determinate indexes. Transcendental quantities include all exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometrical lines, because there are no no finite algebraic formulae by which these quantities can be expressed. (Webster's Universal Dictionary. 1936)
And Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary has this to say on
Transcendental
being, involving, or representing a function (as sin x, log x,e(x)) that cannot be expressed by a finite number of algebraic operations (transcendental curves)
==============
“There is a different kind of thinking behind the Biblical value of π.” (Roman Pytel wrote)
Yes: approximate thinking, or else erroneous thinking. (Silverhill roared)
Well, Silverhill, here is another must read for you:
“The fact that pi is transcendental means that it is impossible to draw to perfection (...) a square with the same area as a given circle. This ancient puzzle, known as squaring the circle, was, for centuries, one of the most baffling challenges in geometry. Schemes have been devised that provide amazingly close approximations to squaring the circle. But in theoretical matematics (unlike physics and engineering), approximations are never good enough; a solution, scheme, or method is either valid, or else it is not.” Silverhill, tell that your intellectual soul mate, Tyler, before he starts building his monument.
And here is a short passage from a Polish mathematical journal:
“What is the exact value of the number pi? I talked to my daughter about this problem and we decided to find our own estimation of the number pi by an experiment. For this purpose, we used an old bicycle wheel of diameter 63.7 cm. We marked the point on the tire where the wheel was touching the ground and we rolled the wheel straight ahead by turning it 20 times. Next, we measured the distance traveled by the wheel, which was 39.69 meters. We divided the number 3969 by 20x63.7 and obtained 3.115384615 as an approximation of the number...Of course, this was just our estimate of the number pi and we were aware that it was not very accurate.”
And here let me quote a Math Joke which I found in this journal:
Mathematician's bakery: House of Pi
Possibly, this joke was inspired by Jorge Louis Borghes's wise House of Sand in which the author describes an infinite book which he had found in the Argentinian National Library. It should be a must read for everybody who, like G. Bruno, believes in infinity of the world.
Http://.go2net.com/useless/useless/pi.html is 15 pages full of Pi links, everything about P: pi poems, pi formulae, pi contests. You might as well visit The Uselessness of Pi and its irrational friends page.

A. With brackets.

No, Thoth usually had the head of an ibis (but he was also depicted as a dog-headed ape, when in Duat, the Egyptian underworld; he only sometimes had the shape of a baboon). Also, Thoth was not only the god of wisdom, but of magic, the measurement and regulation of events, time, and writing; he also participated in the judging of the dead.

Let me spout off once more.
Well, the most famous physician of antiquity Galen was teaching human anatomy by dissecting Barbary apes.
In 1699 the Royal Society published Edward Tyson's book entitled Orang-Outang, sive Homo Sylvestris: Or, the Anatomy of a Pygmie Compared with That of a Monkey, an Ape, and a Man. For Tyson, the Pygmy was the missing link between animality and humanity. Occasionally, also the Irishman used to be mentioned in the same function. For the Palestinians, as you know, Jews are 'sons of pigs and monkeys.'
At all events, there are facts which prove that certain astronomical calculations were as correct with the Chaldeans in the days of Julius Caesar as they are now. When the calendar was reformed by the Conqueror, the civil year was found to correspond so little with the seasons, that summer had merged into the autumn months, and the autumn months into full winter. It was Sosigenes, the Chaldean astronomer, who restored order into the confusion, by putting back the 25th of March ninety days, thus making it correspond with the vernal equinox; and it was Sosigenes, again, who fixed the lengths of the months as they now remain.
In America, it was found by the Montezuman army, that the calendar of the Aztecs gave an equal number of days and weeks to each month. The extreme accuracy of their astronomical calculations was so great, that no error has been discovered in their reckoning by subsequent verifications; while the Europeans, who landed in Mexico in 1519, were, by the Julian calendar, nearly eleven days in advance of the exact time. (IU, vol 1, ch.1)
Irrational numbers are such as can never be expressed quite accurately, that is to say, in the language of arithmetic, such as contain an irrational fraction; among them there is a large number of the most important quantities that constantly occur in all calculations, e.g. the square roots of most numbers, the relation of the diagonals to the side of a square, of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. This simple example will prove in a thoroughly tangible manner the organic inadequacy of the human intellect, its capacity to express even quite simple relations.
In handbooks they are usually defined as “magnitudes that exist only in the imagination;” it would be perhaps more correct to say, magnitudes which can occur anywhere except in the imagination, for man is incapable of conceiving them at all. Through this brilliant discovery calculation received an unsuspected elasticity: the absolutely unthinkable henceforth served to determine the relations of concrete facts, which otherwise could not have been tackled. The complementary step was soon taken: where one magnitude approaches “infinitely” near to another without ever reaching it, the gap was arbitrarily bridged, and over this bridge man marched from the sphere of the Impossible into the sphere of the Possible.. Thus, for example, the insoluble problems of the circle were solved by regarding the latter as a polygon with an “infinite” number of sides, all therefore infinitely small. Pascal had already spoken of magnitudes which are “smaller than any given magnitude” and had designated them quantities negligeables; but Newton and Leibnitz went much further, in that they systematically perfected calculation with these infinite series – the infinitesimal calculation. For the first time only mathematics were redeemed from rigidity to life, for the first time they were enabled to analyse accurately not only motionless shape but also motion. Our acientific oprocedure is obviously the negation of the Absolute. That was an acute and happy remark of Goethe’s: “He who devotes himself to nature attempts to find the squaring of the circle” The infinitely great is introduced into mathematics as unity divided by an infinitely small number. Concerning this supposition Berkely remarks: “It is shocking to good sense.”
Leonardo even declared motion to be the cause of all life; he was soon followed by Descartes, who viewed matter itself as motion – everywhere the mechanical interpretation of empirical facts. But mechanic are an ocean over which the ship of mathematics alone can carry us. Only in so far as a science can be reduced to mathematical principles does it seem to us to be exact, and that because it is so far strictly mechanical and consequently “navigable.”
I can best draw the moral of what has been said by quoting a remark of Leibnitz: “Rest can be regarded as an infinitely slow speed or an infinitely great retardation, so that in any case the law of rest is to be considered merely as a special case within the laws of motion. Similarly we can regard two perfectly equal magnitudes as unequal, by looking upon the inequality as infinitely small (Letter to Bayle, July 1687) In Bayle’s Dictionnaire I find under Zeno a violent attack upon all mathematics: “Mathematics have one fatal, immeasurable defect: they are in fact a mere chimera. The mathematical points, and consequently also the lines and surfaces of the geometricians, their spheres, axes, etc. are all abstractions which have never possessed a trace of reality; that is why these phantasies are even of less importance than those of the poets, for the latter invented nothing which is intrinsically impossible, like th mathematicians (square circle),” etc. This abuse has no special significance; but it calls our attention to the important fact that mathematics, not merely since Cardanus and Leibnitz, but from all time, have drawn their strength from “imaginary” or, more properly speaking, absolutely inconceivable magnitudes. When we think of it, the point according to Euclid’s definition is no less inconceivable than √-1. Obviously, our “exact knowledge” is a peculiar thing. The keenest criticism of our higher mathematics is found in Berkeley’s The Analyst and A defence of Free-thinking in Mathematics.
In modern materialist cosmology, a similar question is whether or not neutrinos have mass, or do they actually occupy space? Nobody knows. In scholastic physics they asked the question: “How many angels may sit upon the head of a pin?” They wondered if angels, or spirit bodies generally, occupy physical space. In the Hindu religious tradition god is called puru (point). This puru became the god of Big Bang.
Sar (circle, saros) is the Babylonian god of the sky. He is also Assaros or Asshur (the son of Shem), and Zero -- Zero-ana, the chakkra, or wheel, boundless time. Hence, as the first step taken by Zoroaster, while founding his new religion, was to change the most sacred deities of the Sanscrit Veda into names of evil spirits, in his Zend Scriptures, and even to reject a number of them, we find no traces in the Avesta of Chakkra -- the symbolic circle of the sky.
A Christian sermon that has survived from the mid-fifth century called On The Trinity quotes in profusion the words of the Pagan gods. The doctrine of the trinity probably derives from sacred geometry: “the transcendental number” π is hidden within the circle, a symbol of the All and so of God.” the Puranas insist on the identity of Vishnu with Time and Space*
And that seromon expains the strange or not so strange case of the Jewish mathematician Landau, who “in 1934. had defined π in his textbook published in Gőttingen in that year by the, now fairly usual, method of saying that π/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes. This unleashed an academic dispute, which was to end in Landau’s dismissal from his chair at Gőttingen. Bierbach, an eminent number theorist who disgraced himself by his racist views, explains the reasons for Landau’s dismissal: - Thus the valiant rejection by the Gőttingen student body which a great mathmatician, Edmund Landau, has experienced is due in he final analysis to the fact that the un-German style of this man in his research and teaching is unbearable to German feelings. A people who have perceived how members of another race are working to impose ideas foreign to its own must refuse teachers of an alien culture.” (A history of Pi, www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uc/~history/HistTopics/Pi_through_the_ages.html) Like his forefathers conquering Canaan and destroying the sacred stone circles symbolizing the disc of Akhenaten's sun god, Landau, so to say, put the number π into a finite strait jacket and thus offended the religious feelings of the Nazi votaries of the sun god Wotan. It was so un-Aryan and un-Grman of him.
The shrine itself probably represented the world, with its four corners radiating from a central point. The circle seems to be an archetype, found in nearly all cultures as a symbol of eternity, of the world and the psyche. It represents, in both temporal and spatial terms, a totality: tracing a circle or circumambulating – a common religious practice in many traditions – means that you are constantly coming back to where you started: you discover that in your end is your beginning.
For the ancient Indians, a destruction and recreation of individual forms and creatures occurred every Kalpa or day of Brahma. Each day of Brahma had duration of about 4 billion years. The elements themselves, together with all forms, undergo dissolution into Pure Spirit, which then reincarnates itself back into matter every lifetime of Brahma, which lasts about 311 trillion years. Among the Greeks who thought of the Brahmins as perfect Pythagorean philosophers, the Stoics were the most fervent believers in the Eternal Return (anakuklesis, lit. Eternal Wheel). They claimed that all objects in the universe were bound together in an absolutely determinate web of actions and reactions (this Stoic dogma was also embraced by Newton), and that this determinism led to a precise return of all events. That is, no event is unique and occurs once and for all, but rather every event has occurred, occurs, and will occur, perpetually (Cf. perpetual motion dogma); the same individuals have appeared, appear, and reappear in every return of the cycle. In each and every cycle Socrates will be tried, condemned, and executed. Plato’s cosmology was also cyclic, with a periodic destruction and recreation of the universe in conjunction with various astronomical events. The same belief is reflected in the Latin term resurrection which is used almost invariably in nonscriptural references. In the Gospel accounts it nowhere says Christ rose again, only that He was risen (some prefer to speak that he was raised). In the Latin version surrexit is used, not resurrexit (‘He has risen,’ not ‘He has risen again’ (the particle ‘re’ has the same meaning in Latin and English, ‘again.’). The term ‘resurrection’ makes sense, however, if one assumes the identity of Christ and sun. Impersonality of such a sun god matches impersonality of Brahma! This philosophy inspired Newton’s identification of gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. Here it is how Newton described his dogma of ‘transubstantiation’ in the paper entitled “De Aere et Aethere”:
Like Copernicus, the authors of the Palestinian history textbooks proclaim: “Moses and his followers wandered in the desert; they were not endowed with any scientific or artistic talents and made no cultural achievements whatsoever…” Using the words of the Psalmist, the founding fathers of the modern astronomy and their Palestinian admirers: “Set their mouth against the Heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. And they say how God knows. And is there knowledge in the Eternal God?” (Ps. 73:9-11). They recognized the God of the Bible as a liar and ignoramus because He taught: “When you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon, and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing them or serving them” (Dt. 4:9) Palestinian state would be a child of Copernican heliocentrism.
1.Comment by Cyriac: “Here’s my problem with the guys who wrote those Psalms and Chronicles that you quote in your post. They were only human! And humans make mistakes.”
Comment by DPS: “Not when they’re inspired by the One True God, they don’t.”
Ahem, would this be the same “One True God” that inspired Kings 7:23 and Chronicles 4:2 which erroneously states that Pi equals 3.0 when in fact Pi equals 3.14159 (recurring), something even the ancient Egyptians knew.
Wow, I guess he *does* move in mysterious ways. I reckon that was a deliberate mistake, just to test us? Keep us on our toes, yeah? Or maybe they simply misheard this “One True God”, he should’ve spoken up or engraved them on a stone tablet for all to see!!
Well, least we have science to depend on, this “One True God” fella sounds very unreliable - just look at the book of Genesis for starters!!
Comment by Tyler Durden — June 6, 2007 @ 10:35 am
Mathematics of the Fasting Buddha
Western thought came close to the basic dogma of heliocentric mathematics in Democritus’ theory of atoms and in Euclid’s “Elements”. The burning of the great library at Alexandria was supposed to prevent spreading of the Gnostic heresy but it failed. Behind the scholastic equivalence of light and matter which gives rise to the world machine by plurifying itself was the concept of the philosophers who speculated that all things were composed of atoms and who said that bodies were composed of surfaces, and surfaces of lines, and lines of points. But since there is no reality to a mathematical point or line, except when they are being conceptualized as such the world of Euclid belongs to the same category as the world of Platonic ideas; though merely mental, they were the ultimate objects, of which the visible and tangible objects of the world were only pale shadows. And that’s exactly what the Indian yogis dismissed contemptuously as the illusory realm of maya. In the Eastern view, searching for some kind of reality, either in the physical world (prakriti) or in the rational mind (manas) is a sheer waste of time, since they are both ultimately unreal. The Buddhist aims at pure consciousness with no object in sight (alaya-vijnana), which is practically synonymous with sunya (this sunya is the conditio sine qua non for the Newton gravity to work), the Void. Buddha merely stressed the sole reality of nirvana, which the Germans translate as Nullpunkt.*The Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are the cornerstones of the Taoist tradition and in them we find the initial identification of Nonbeing (Big Bang’s starting point) with the source of all things. In other places, the preferred term is wu (in Japanese mu), commonly translated as “Nonbeing”. Chuang Tzu, in effect, made Nonbeing an equivalent for the absolute Tao, a kind of absolute void. The principles of this nihilistic ontology are mirrored in Hindu mathematics which evolved into a mature place-value system promoting to full membership of a tenth numeral a round symbol for zero (graphic representation of point) or Sunya, as the Hindus called it. Confusion about the status of this mysterious numeral persisted for centuries, and as late as the 15th century it was described as “a symbol that merely causes trouble and lack of clarity.” How, it was asked, could a symbol, which means “nothing”, when placed after another numeral, enhance its value tenfold? The problem finds its solution in the philosophical theory of a “coincidence of opposites” (coincidentia oppositarum), that is identification of elements that are mutually exclusive in ordinary (Aristotelian) logic. The goal of introspection (atmanam viddhi or Greek gnothi seauthon) is to overcome the intellectual “opposites”; the being arises in the context of non-being. The Buddhist concept was known as dhrama-dhatus pratitya-samupada, which translates as “the interdependent arising of the universe”: things are said to have “emptiness” and “fullness of emptiness” at the same time.
*Theirs is the cosmic Christ preached by St. Paul in his Letter to the Colossians in whom “were created all things in heaven and earth” and who “holds all things in unity.” Teilhard de Chardin who was both a mystic and a Marxist (like Pope John Paul II) also centered on to this cosmic Christ regarding him as the point to which all creation (or at least all of it that can be saved) is destined by evolution itself to converge. The same idea is behind the expanding and contracting point of Big Bang hypothesis. Behind this perverted science lies the Pythagorean dogma proclaiming that extended physical bodies are composed of nonextended mathematical points. Accordingly Zeno argued that everything in the universe is both infinitely large and has no size at all. The infinite divisibility of any physical body regardless of size means that it is composed of an infinite number of elements and thus is infinitely large. On the other hand, the body has no size at all because no number of nonextended units can produce an extended body.
According to Max Muller "the two words 'cipher' and 'zero,' which are in reality but one . . . are to prove that our figures are borrowed from the Arabs."* Cipher is the Arabic "cifron," and means empty, a translation of the Sanscrit name of the nought "synya," he says. The Arabs had their figures from Hindustan, and never claimed the discovery for themselves.** As to the Pythagoreans, we need but turn to the ancient manuscripts of Boethius's Geometry, composed in the sixth century, to find in the Pythagorean numerals*** the 1 and the nought, as the first and final cipher. And Porphyry, who quotes from the Pythagorean Moderatus,**** says that the numerals of Pythagoras were "hieroglyphical symbols, by means whereof he explained ideas concerning the nature of things."
Consider James Jeans’ description of the universe of relativity as the four-dimensional surface of a cosmic sphere of which the inside is made of “empty space welded onto empty time.” This is how we are slowly driven away from the West’s traditional logic, back to the Eastern or should I say Aryan habit of using paradoxical statements in dealing with some formulations of ultimate reality. Consider the following sayings of the Buddha in which he attempts to destroy once for all the last attempts of the highly intellectualized Hindus to objectify some metaphysical concepts: “There is a path to walk on, there is walking done, but there is no traveler. There are deed being done, but there is no doer.” The same philosophy is reflected in the evangelical phrase, “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree.” And nobody wrote this decree!
Here are some other dogmas of modern science: The length of an object is not in the object but in its relationship to the observer (Einstein). Light is basically waves but is also basically particles (Bohr). The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line (Fuller). Some particles get from one place to another place without passing through the places in between (Planck). It is not hard for a modern physicist or mathematician to believe in the LSD world.
J. Jeans has written, “It is probably as meaningless to discuss how much room an electron takes up as it is to discuss how much room a fear, an anxiety or an uncertainty takes up.” My hard drive has capacity of 80 gigabytes. Could it accommodate all fears of my life? Only if it divides itself like Lenin’s electron! The new picture of the heliocentric universe disclosed by contemporary physics appears to be largely in accord with Eastern metaphysics. Indeed, the Jaina mathematicians believed in five kinds of infinity. There was positive infinity, that is, infinity in one direction. There was negative infinity, reached by counting in the opposite direction, starting from -1. There was also infinity in terms of area and infinity of time.
From the linguistic coincidence that fleece in German (Vliess) is cognate with the verb fliessen, “to flow”, Fictuld draws the conclusion that the Golden Fleece symbolizes philosophical gold, a liquid fiery substance said to flow from the planetary spheres. The substance was also known as the essence of the anima mundi, or soul of the world, supporting the general phenomenon of growth and the infinite potential for life. And that explains the golden mask of Tutenchamon. In ancient Egypt gold was believed to the the flesh of the sun. Accordingly, Children of the sun or Children of Light were considered the most favored human specimens. Read the Qumran epic about the war between Children of Light against the Children of Darkness. The baby Buddha was believed to be a child of million rays...
The Greek name Hermes is taken from an ancient root, herm (Harm al-Sharif), which means the active, or positive, radiant, principle of nature; sometimes translated as “vitality” or “generative force”; and known to ancient freemasonry – or the sons of light, the free “macon” – as “the cosmic fire”, Hiram, and later as Hiram Abif.
Ficino translated Orphica, a collection of hymns to various pagan deities, attributed to Orpheus but actually dating from the early centuries AD. He practiced magical self-improvement by singing hymns, accompanying himself on his ‘Orphic lyre’. He believed that by singing the hymn to a particular planetary deity, while concentrating his thoughts and emotions on the planet, he could draw down into himself a flow of the planet’s influence and power.. For the same reason Ch. Darwin played basson to his plants.
One of Ficino’s pupils, Francesco da Dia Cetto, explained more clearly how this was done. To attract the influence of the sun, the Orphic hymn to the deity was sung when the sun was ascending in Leo or Aries, on a Sunday and in the hour of the sun. The magician surrounded himself with things corresponding to the sun. He wore a golden mantle and a crown of laurel, strewed sunflowers about him, burned myrrh and frankincense on an altar and anointed himself with saffron, balsam or honey made when the sun was in Leo. The technique induced a sense of superhuman power, which could be applied to curing disease or for any other purpose.

Well, least we have science to depend on, this “One True God” fella sounds very unreliable - just look at the book of Genesis for starters!!”
In Acts 7:22 we read: “And Moses was educated in all the science and learning of the Egyptians.”We also learn from other authors that Moses was indebted for his knowledge to the mother of the Egyptian princess, Thermuthis. And yet Moses and all those who followed him had chosen to ignore the Egyptian science!
Not only regarding the sacred geometry with its value of pi but also the Egyptian teachings about human anatomy.
All parts of human body are mentioned in the Torah, excepting the spleen. There is no word in the Hebrew Bible denoting such an organ. The scientists impressed by Copernicus’s mathematics would conclude that the Biblical author ignorant of the real structure of the Universe did not possess the sure knowledge of human body either.
Well, Charles S. Finch III, M.D. in his paper Science and Symbol in Egyptian Medicine: Commentaries on the Edwin Smith Papyrus mentions the Egyptian term denoting spleen: nnshm. Moses rejected the Egyptian value of pi for the same reason for which the Israelites destroyed the circles of stones with their barbaric ritual of sacrificing first-born children to the sun god. Regarding the spleen I will tell here only this, we would be much better off if we payed closer attention to the Biblical medicine.
Tyler, the Biblical value of pi was, indeed, engraved in a large metal bowl or the “molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, and a line of thirty cubits which did encompass it round about” which gives value of pi 3.
Now, why don't you build a monument commemorating forever the value of pi which was revealed by the true and noble god, maybe Zeus, who used to kidnap beautiful boys like Ganymed for homosexual pleasures called orgasms of light.
Here is a tip, currently, the record for calculating pi is 51 billion digits and still counting because the decimal expansion of pi is nonterminating since only rational numbers have terminating decimal expansion. Thus, there really is no “last digit” (or last dance) in pi. I suggest, you start with the Great Wall of China as a part of your monument and after that you could go up to the stars and into infinity. Good Luck, Tyler!
*Tyler, if by 'recurring' you mean 'repeating', please, keep in mind that the Transcendental Numbers cannot be written as a finite sequence of numbers or a repeating sequence of such numbers, but require an Infinite Series of terms
Silverhill wrote #1323:
You (Roman Pytel) need to check the definition of “transcendental number”. It is the category of irrational numbers for which no equations can be written; they can only be expressed as the sums of infinite series.
This is entirely different from “being infinite”, however. Transcendental numbers are just as finite as 1, 0, 1/2, etc.
Silverhill, I followed your advice and here is what I found:
Transcendental
In math, a term applied to any equation, curve, or quantity which cannot be represented or defined by an algebraic expression of a finite number of terms, with numeral and determinate indexes. Transcendental quantities include all exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometrical lines, because there are no no finite algebraic formulae by which these quantities can be expressed. (Webster's Universal Dictionary. 1936)
And Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary has this to say on
Transcendental
being, involving, or representing a function (as sin x, log x,e(x)) that cannot be expressed by a finite number of algebraic operations (transcendental curves)
==============
“There is a different kind of thinking behind the Biblical value of π.” (Roman Pytel wrote)
Yes: approximate thinking, or else erroneous thinking. (Silverhill roared)
Well, Silverhill, here is another must read for you:
“The fact that pi is transcendental means that it is impossible to draw to perfection (...) a square with the same area as a given circle. This ancient puzzle, known as squaring the circle, was, for centuries, one of the most baffling challenges in geometry. Schemes have been devised that provide amazingly close approximations to squaring the circle. But in theoretical matematics (unlike physics and engineering), approximations are never good enough; a solution, scheme, or method is either valid, or else it is not.” Silverhill, tell that your intellectual soul mate, Tyler, before he starts building his monument.
And here is a short passage from a Polish mathematical journal:
“What is the exact value of the number pi? I talked to my daughter about this problem and we decided to find our own estimation of the number pi by an experiment. For this purpose, we used an old bicycle wheel of diameter 63.7 cm. We marked the point on the tire where the wheel was touching the ground and we rolled the wheel straight ahead by turning it 20 times. Next, we measured the distance traveled by the wheel, which was 39.69 meters. We divided the number 3969 by 20x63.7 and obtained 3.115384615 as an approximation of the number...Of course, this was just our estimate of the number pi and we were aware that it was not very accurate.”
And here let me quote a Math Joke which I found in this journal:
Mathematician's bakery: House of Pi
Possibly, this joke was inspired by Jorge Louis Borghes's wise House of Sand in which the author describes an infinite book which he had found in the Argentinian National Library. It should be a must read for everybody who, like G. Bruno, believes in infinity of the world.
Http://.go2net.com/useless/useless/pi.html is 15 pages full of Pi links, everything about P: pi poems, pi formulae, pi contests. You might as well visit The Uselessness of Pi and its irrational friends page.

The Marvels of the Moon
The Basic Contradiction
The Bible says: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
Science teaches: In the beginning a pellet of matter exploded: Big Bang!
Philosophy is all about questioning the gods' powers over the world and trying to identify a single, natural substance: fire, water, earth, or air, as the primary material of the cosmos. The cosmos of philosophy is all matter in various stages of self-organization. Matter, aliens and huris belong together. Big Bang's expansions and contractions were anticipated by Heraclitus, the greatest pyromaniac of all ages in his Fragment 40:
What was scattered
Gathers,
What was gathered
Blows apart.
Science and Torah are irreconcilable. It would be nice to pretend, as the so-called theistic evolutionists do, that the study of evolution can be carried out without having any effect on religion. The heart of the matter is that evolution is, by definition, a story of origins, like the myth of Tammuz, or Mithra and of many others. This means that it really does supersede another creation story – in particular, the creation story as the very core of Judeo-Christian narrative.
Big Bang hypothesis is the basic teaching of Theosophy as it was expressed by H. Blavatsky in her Secret Doctrine: The fundamental Law in that system, the central point from which all emerged, around and toward which all gravitates, and upon which is hung the philosophy of the rest, is the One homogeneous divine SUBSTANCE-PRINCIPLE, the one radical cause. ( vol.1, bk.1). In Indian solar philosophy this divine substance is called puru i.e. point.
In 1964, the biologist George Simpson wrote a skeptical paper entitled On the Nonprevalence of Humanoids, in which he emphasized the futility of the search for advanced extraterrestrial life. He termed it a gamble of the most adverse odds in history. Pointing out that human are byproduct of countless special accidents, he concluded: “The assumption, so freely made by astronomer, physicists and some biochemists, that once life gets started anywhere, humanoids will eventually and inevitably appear is plainly false” (science 143 (1964) p. 772. But his voice was ignored by NASA, which is led rather by political than scientific considerations.
Indian religious philosophy regards the universe as resulting from a non purposive manifestation of, or emanation from, an absolute unity (substance) that is not personal in any strict sense.
In the Assyrian inscriptions we find recorded the Chaldeo-Babylonian idea of an evolution of the universe out of the primeval flood or “great deep,” and of the animal evolution out of the earth and sea.
The general idea of evolution in Nature, transmitted from the Chaldeans through the Phoenicians, took strong hold upon Greek thought and was developed in many perverse ways; Aristotle sometimes developed it in a manner which reminds us of modern views.
Hand in hand with evolutionism goes the idea that the Universe is built of four basic elements. In ancient Greece, at the very dawn of philosophy itself, a group who are now called atomists (particularly Leucippus and Democritus) postulated that all matter was formed of “atoms”, which were small, hard and indestructible. They taught that the atoms moved in a void, and that it was in eternal fallings and collisions of them that creates everything in the world (similarly in modern Science these fallings and collisions were initiated by “Big Bang”). By postulating the void that all atoms “fell” with relation to, they were perhaps the first explicit absolutists in history. They inspired Newton's absolute Space. He speculated, If ever space had not existed, God at that time would have been nowhere.
Aristotle envisioned all of nature as continually striving toward “the better” or “the good” (Physics 19218; On Generation and Corruption 336b28; Eudemian Ethics 1218a30). By “better” Aristotle has in mind certain specific qualities; he comments that being is better than non-being, life better than non-life, and soul better than matter. Thus, there is a meaningful sense in which “the whole of cosmos is permeated by some kind of upward desire and aspiration” - upward in the sense of toward form, life, and soul (Anthropic Principle). This outlook is essential to Aristotle because he sought to explain the puzzling phenomenon of spontaneous generation or origin of life. Plant and animal life seem to materialize out of inanimate matter – such as the maggots and flies that quickly appear in decaying animal waste.
Before the end of the 16th century, Galileo has begun experimenting with inclined planes and pendula, and had come up with some remarkable results, including that all objects “fall” (or roll down the inclined plane) at the same rate, regardless of their mass or the steepness of the slope.
Let me remind here that Galileo, using his telescope, claimed that he saw the detail of the moon that is invisible to the naked eye. This claim was consistent with the fundamental heliocentric dogma that the earth is one of heavenly planets and in this sense the title of Copernicus's book is to be understood, The Revolutions of the heavenly bodies.
Galileo's renderings revealed the moon shadows as craters, hills and valleys. Identifying such Earthlike topography in a heavenly body was an important step toward the conclusion that later put him at odds with the Catholic Church: that Earth was not the center of the universe. In other words, Galileo proclaimed, in opposition to Scripture, that the earth was not under providential care of God.
Do they see rains on the Moon with their telescopes, like they saw “canals” on Mars?

Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo (Frankfurt 1623) was well aware that Galileo's inspiration for seeing the detail of the moon that is invisible was derived from the same source as Muhammad's claim about billions upon billions of virgins inhabiting the “heavenly bodies” built of four philosophical elements. He wrote:
“Galileo also says that water exists on the moon and the planets which cannot be. These bodies are incorruptible, for do not all scholastics contend with Aristotle that they endure without change throughout all time? He describes land and mountains in the Moon and other celestial globes, and not only vilifies immeasurably the homes of angels, but lessens our hope regarding Heaven.
“If the four elements which form our world exist in the stars, it follows from the doctrine of Galileo that, as Muhammad declared, there are many worlds with lands and seas and with human inhabitants. However, Scripture speaks of only one world and of one created man, so that this belief is opposed to Scripture. I pass without comment the opinion that Galileo has revived the heresy that Christ must make atonement for the men who inhabit the stars and die there again; just as formerly it was said that Christ must be crucified a second time in the antipodes, if the men living there were to be saved as we have been saved. In other words, Galileo's Christ was a perpetual pilgrim, like John Paul II was.
Muhammad, for political reasons, rejected the idea of the Biblical Eden planted by God on earth and embraced instead the idea of the Garden of Immortality that the Babylonian myth placed in Heaven. Unlike the Biblical Adam who was simply “sent forth from the garden of Eden” (Gen. 3:23), the Koran's Adam was “sent down from the garden” (Sura Ta-Ha 20:123). Similarly, in the so-called Gospel of Marcion Jesus was sent down, maybe from a hanging, heavenly garden,” like a certain Clark Kent who can live in Smallville, like huris can live up there:
In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea,
Jesus descended (out of heaven) into Capernaum, a city in Galilee,
and was teaching (in the synagogue) on the Sabbath days,
And they were astonished at his doctrine (3:1/4:31)
Muhammad, like the Babylonian godman Etana ascended to heaven on the horse called Buraq. And remember all those killers on their way to the Virgins.
Newton took both impenetrability, and the lawlike behavior of bodies, to be essential features of our conception of body. Inspired by Galileo's idea of “Fall” he imagined the planets are falling to their common center of gravity like apples are falling to the ground of earth.
The first telescopic observations of the moon on record were carried out by the Englishman Thomas Hariot (c. 1560-1621), on the evening of July 26, 1609. However, based on his extant correspondence as well as entries in his notebooks, as in the case of sunspots Harriot did not appear to have drawn any particular physical significance from what he saw.
We know that some people can see phases of Venus with naked eye and maybe Moses was one of them.
One cannot help but wonder, is the moon a heavenly body (like a material girls, or huris) in the Copernican sense, or is it a light serving as a sign: “And God said,. 'Let there be lights in the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.” (Gen 1:14)
We learn from the Mishna Treatise Rosh Hashana 2:8 that “Rabban Gamliel had a chart of moon shapes on a wall, and he would show this to the people, and ask: Was it like this one? Like that one?” And that's exactly what the word 'sign' means.
The Russian Professor of astronomy A.B. Arkhipov in his book Nyerazgadannye Tainy Vsyelennoy(The Unsolved Secrets of the Universe) published in Moscow (2004 ISBN 5-94538-446-1) among the lunar marvels mentions the following astronomical events described in ancient chronicles:
1048 The Armenian Chronicle of Etaum Patmich of the 13th century reads: “In that year, on May 14, in the early night during the New Moon a star was visible on the disc of the Moon. According to Armenian astronomers Barsegyan and Parsamyan an attempt to identify this star with the supernova of 1054 means stretching the truth.
1064 “in those days a star of unusual brightness appeared within the circle of the moon after a few days following her moving away from the sun. J. Malvesius Chronicon (Muratori L.A. Retum Italicarium scriptores. Lib. 14. Milan, 1729, p. 873)
1540 W.S. Cameron's Lunar transient phenomena catalog (NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 78-03, Greenbelt: NASA, 1978, p. 109) describes a strange engraving depicting a star which appeared On November 26 on the black part of the New Moon
The same catalog mentions that on March 5, 1587 many people saw a star within the circle of the Moon “exactly between the edges of her horns.”
On page 136 of Prof. Arkhipov's book you'll find two copies: one representing a Byzantine coin depicting a star inside the horns of the New Moon (see the flag of Turkey and of other Muslim states) and a similar event as depicted by the pre-Columbian astronomers of Peru.
Cultural blindspots prevent people from seeing things that are perfectly obvious in other cultures. Furthermore, even within a culture that is capable of perceiving something, individuals usually cannot see things until they are educated to them (like Gestalt Psychology does). Exactly, like Moses was educating his people by giving them the ordinance to look out for the New Moons.
So try it for yourself and you'll see with your naked eyes. You'll see the blue sky through the “cutout” of the new moon, and sometimes the black part of it, which, obviously blocks the view of the blue sky, but not always, contrary to Galileo's claim. And then, you will be compelled to ask yourself the question, is Venus a body too if I can see blue sky through the cutout of its crescent. And then, maybe, you will admit that the earth created by G-d as our homeland is totally unique in the Universe. Exactly, like the Torah claims. Everything up there is to remind us of times, and seasons, and years and of other events important for our lives. And then you'll find easily the answer to the question why God created the heaven first: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In the myth it is the goddess of earth Gea who gives birth to both: gods and men.
The Nile Delta was the spot where life on earth was believed to have begun. The Sicilian-born Greek historian and mythographer Diodorus Siculus, writing in ca. 50 B.C. Cites as proof of its fecundity the fact that the soil was continuing to generate prodigious numbers of creatures, some only half formed, “the rest of the body still retaining the character of the earth from which it came,: while Herodotus tells us that the names of most of the gods came from that country. In this sense Egypt was called “the gift of the Nile” because as philosopher Thales taught the water was the father of all.
Another surprising thing about the Dialogue is that Galileo not only misrepresents the Copernican system as a beautifully simple affair, but seems to have been himself unaware of its complexities. He had never taken much interest in the tiresome details of planetary theory, and there was no real reason for him to plod through the technical chapters in the Revolutions from cover to cover. If he had done so, he could not have believed that all planets move with the same linear velocity, nor attributed the idea to Copernicus that the moon either shines in her own light or is transparent to the light of the sun. (Lettera del Maestro Paolo Antonio Foscraini, Carmelitano, sopra l'opinione de i Pittagorici e del Copernico della mobilita della Terra e stabilita del Sole, il nuove Sisteme del Mondo, Napoli, 1615). But transparency of the Moon would explain, otherwise incomprehensible fact mentioned above, that we can see through the moon during certain phases.
The prophet Muhammad taught that Muslim men martyred in a holy war will be rewarded with darked—eyed houris (huris) or perpetual virgins (Suras 44:51—56; 52:17—29; 55:46—78).
Dying to Kill, to enter the Heavenly Brothel
The Islamists, who hold a monopoly on Palestinian suicide bombings from 1993 to 2002, live in a world of paradox. Led by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), they establish schools, libraries and charities for the poor while, at the same time, disparaging this life (dunya) as a fleeting shadow to which fearful Israelis cling. They close bars and discos in Gaza, yet preach a sensual Paradise where the shahid, or martyr, enjoys rivers of wine and 72 dark-eyed virgins.
A grainy Hamas martyr video entitled The Giants of al-Qassem recorded in the summer of 1993, is the last will and testament of three young terrorists before they go to Jerusalem and hijack Bus No. 25, which they plan to blow up – with themselves inside – if Sheikh Yassin, then alive and incarcerated, is not released.
The only terrorist to survive the bungled mission is Salah Mustafa Uthman, who was crippled by a shot to the head. He tells the authors of the headiness felt by the three: “On the night before our operation, we had that feeling when you get married, on the night of the wedding, so excited.” The ‘Giants’ perform a weird wedding dance with their guns before the camera. Maybe this dance explains how Muhammad received convenient "revelations" that justified his insatiable lusts and numerous marriages -- including one to a 9-year-old girl! Details about Muhammad’s licentiousness, cruelty, and ruthless ambition make him a dangerous role model. Indeed, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin is a rotten cadaver which poisons our lives.
In August, 2001, the American television channel CBS aired an interview with a Hamas activist Muhammad Abu Wardeh, who recruited terrorists for terrorist bombings in Israel. Abu Wardeh was quoted as saying: “I described to him how God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness.” Muhammad Atta listened attentively. He waited impatiently for the promised virgins. Wardeh was in fact shortchanging his recruits since the rewards in Paradise for martyrs was 72 virgins.Islam is a religious ideology that validates actions in life with imaginary rewards in the afterlife.
Wardeh believed rather Al-Sayuti (d. 1505), Koranic commentator and polymath than the Holy Koran. Al Sayuti graphically elaborated the sensual pleasures. He wrote: “Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens (like after taking Cialis). The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one (i.e. Muslim) will marry 70 houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.”
Pashupati is the Horned God of the Indus Valley, of the great Harappan city culture that developed from a village culture approximately 6000 years ago, in northern India and what is now Pakistan. The Legend of Pashupati can be found in reference to the Indian God Shiva, of whom Pashupati is referred to as being the proto-type. If we examine the Pashupati seals we find a very similar scene. Again we find the horned God in a yogic posture surrounded by animals.. Also on some of these seals we find that the God's penis is visibly erect and the testicles prominent. His European counterpart was called Cernunnos.
Louis Rene Beres, Professor of International Law, Department of Political Science, Purdue University wrote: “To deter the Islamist 'suicide' terrorist plotting now underway in Iraq, Israel, Europe and also the United States itself, we must confront this formidable enemy with a tangible threat of real suicide...We should think, immediately, in terms of “desacralizing” this grotesque enemy's explicit and unashamed inversion of holiness. Without thinking about how exactly to accomplish this desacralization, our war on terrorists who “love death” will remain based on narrowly military grounds. In any such war we would surely fail. (The More Things Change...On Fighting A Terrorist Enemy Who Still 'Loves Death' in: The Jewish Press Magazine, Friday, January 18, 2008). Ideologically, President Kennedy's Moon Landing Program codenamed Apollo was a continuation of the aliens mania in the aftermath of WWII inspired by the Syrian, gnostic Christianity in conformity with the Middle East policy of President W. Wilson.
Prof. Beres's Dream Come True
Christoph Luxenberg's book The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran (Berlin 2007, revised and enlarged ed.) scrutinizes The Koran; its origin, transmission, collection, historical context and vocabulary were subjected to scientific methods.
The Koran is not an easy book to read, for at least one fifth of its content is “dark” or “obscure”. This was readily acknowledged by Muslim scholarship, as was the existence of non-Arabic vocabulary, including Aramaic, Persian, and Greek words. On the other hand, the Koran says of itself that is written in pure Arabic, easy to understand, and “clear”. These contradictions did not trouble anyone much: They constituted just another mysterious sign of the Koran's divine origin.
Luxenberg's book applies the toolkit of the historical linguist to the “dark” Koranic passages, working under the historically and linguistically entirely plausible assumption that there's more Aramaic in these passages than the “pure Arabic” doctrine cares to admit.
How “White, jewel-like Grapes” became “Huris”
The – in times of worldwide actions of an Islamic terrorism for obvious reason – most famous example of a new understanding of Koranic passages in Luxenberg's book concerns the “Huris”, these ever-virgin playmates who shall be given to the Islamic warriors in Paradise, With Luxenberg they became – again – the “white,jewel-like grapes”, we know as fruit of the Paradise from Ephrem Syrus' poem The Paradise (De Paradiso).”
The metaphor of refreshing the dead souls in the celestial realm by the old-testament fathers is well-known in the Christian-eastern and Byzantine literature. But the most important of all is a picture that appears in the oldest transmitted Christian prayer for the dead of the 3rd century, which was delivered by the Copts, the Syriacs, Armenians and Greeks. Here they prayed for the admission of the souls in the celestial realm and their refreshing, calming and renewal in the eternal life.
A fascinating transformation of this idea into the iconography is shown in a Syrian mural picture, in 1998 uncovered by Dr. Karel Innemee, Leiden, The Netherlands, in the Syrian monastery Deir al-Suryan in the Wadi Natrun in Egypt. Here the three Patriarchs Abraham, Isaak and Jacob are shown holding in their lap the souls of men, which they nourish with white grapes.
In the Gnostic document Revelation on Pistis Sophia Eros brings with him the first-fruits of sensual pleasure and of carnal union. At the same time, from the blood shed upon the earth, the vine is born and some other trees grow up. It is then that Justice – one of the powers of Sabaoth – creates a Paradise. There is found the Tree of Life, which is to render immortal the souls of the Just who are rising above matter. It grows up even to the sky; its beautiful branches are like those of the cypress and its fruits are like bunches of white grapes. (Jean Doresse, The Secret Booksa of the Egyptian Gnostics.1986, p.168)
Aldous Huxley in his book Ends and Means, 1946, p. 70 explains enthusiastic reception of evolutionism as follows: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning...The liberation we desired was.;..from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” In other words Muhammad, to a certain degree, anticipated the sexual revolution inherent in Darwin's evolutionism. Let me mention in this context that Zeus metamorphosed in various shapes, including these of animals, in order to satisfy his insatiable sexual urge.
Only sexual desire seemed reasonable to the Cynics. They avoided marriage as an external bond, but patronized prostitutes. Diogenes advocated free love and a community of wives, and Anthisthenes, seeking independence in everything, complained that he could not satisfy his hunger as solitary as he could assuage his lust. Having accepted sexual desire as normal and natural, like hunger, the Cynics professed themselves unable to understand why men should be ashamed to satisfy the one appetite like the other, in public. Like the animals do. We are but apes as prof. R. Dawkins assures us, who believes. with Huxley, that God is a delusion and as such should not interfere with our sexual freedom.
Interestingly, the English term 'whore' (German 'Hure'), an adulteress, f. of horr, an adulterer; probably from same root as Latin carus; Sanskrit, kama, love. The w does not properly belong to the word, but has intruded, as in whole. (Webster's Universal Dictionary)
According to Hindu definition there are thirteen emotions called Rasas. They are Sringara, also called Adi or the original sex rasa which lies at the very root of creation Accordingly, to this day, Shiva is worshiped in the image of his organ of procreation, often alone, and frequently conjoined with the corresponding female organ, which is sculpted to receive Siva's seed. You can see an orgy of pornographic sculptures in front of every Hindu temple.
Most commonly, in the sanctuaries where it is worshiped, the lingam is represented surrounded by the female organ of generation, the yoni. The yoni grasps the lingam, and indeed it is only when the phallus, the giver of semen, is surrounded by the yoni that procreation can take place. From the relation of linga and yoni, the whole world arises. Everything therefore bears the signature of the linga and the yoni. Each individual linga that enters a womb and procreates is a harbinger of divinity, and engaging in a sacred act. Virgil: “Tum pater omnipotens fecundis imbribis aether Conjugis in gremium laetae descendit.”—Geor. ii.The Christian heretic Justin who envisaged Jesus as ever-existent “seed-sowing Reason” believed that the good God was an erect phallus (Hippolytus, Refutation 5.7.21-22)
The Sumerian goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld sang;
“Plough my vulva
man of my heart,
plough my vulva.”
A large engraving of the sexual goddess in the shape of vulva was found in the dolmen of Luffang-on-Crach at Carnac, in France. The Vessica Piscis symbol of the goddess of Glastonbury represents both our birthplace into earthly existence from the Womb of the Goddess and the gateway to spiritual knowledge through her yoni, through sexual union with her.
Sheela-na-gig figures are found in many parts of Ireland and in a few churches in England, such as St Mary and St David's at Kilpeck, Herefordshire. The goddess displays her yoni, the place of power. They resemble statues of Kali in Hindu temples where visitors lick a finger and touch the yoni 'for luck'
For a long time, the pundits have wondered why it was necessary to decorate a place of worship with sexual material, but if one observes the materialistic (Loukika) thoughts of Hinduism, there is nothing unnatural about them. Let me remind here that J.G.R Furlong in his book Rivers of Life (London 1883) coined the term “phalo-solar worshippers” denoting the inhabitants of the Anglo-Indian areas.
The Muslims embraced three important components of Hindu religion: its mathematics, phallic architecture, and polygyny. The Moslem religion allows a man to have as many as four wives, and the Hindu religions sets no limit on the number of wives a man may have.
Disappointed when the Jews did not acknowledge his leadership, Muhammed turned against them and invoked Hanifism, the supposedly uncorrupted religion of Abraham, against them (According to one tradition, in this “uncorrupted religion” Abraham went through with the sacrifice of his son). He also ascribed to Abraham many of the elements of Arab paganism that he took over into Islam. From this time on, Muhammed no longer regarded Islam as a form of revelation ranking with Judaism and Christianity; he proclaimed it to be the one and only true religion.
And the phallic architecture of the Dome of the Rock which is modeled on the architecture of the innumerable Indian shrines of linga and yoni is the best symbol of the Hanifism or the de-judaized religion. Muhammad turned into an Aryan anti-Semite; he went back to the sacred prostitution of the ancient Babylonians and revived the idea of their Heavenly Brothel.
A few years ago, Father George Coyne, head of the Vatican Observatory Research Group who actually run the pontificate of John Paul II suggested that we might view stars as God's sperm. Every sperm has the potential to produce life, he said, but most of them never realize that goal. Like sperm, “each star is fired with a propensity for life, but there is no reason to think any of them have achieved this.” Well, the so-called sperm gnostics joined sperm with the Holy Logos, like Justin the Martyr.
The famous passages about the alleged Huris are based on the word hur (adjectiv in feminin plural), which in Arabic means simply “white”. The Arabic commentators postulated that this adjective is to be interpreted as “white-eyed” Virgins. But Luxenberg, with the help of Aramaic sources, solves the problem quite differently: the word hur means “white grapes”, typical Paradise fruits of the Syro-Christian literature.
Luxenberg expresses optimism and hope for more Christian-Muslim dialog in the face of newly discovered common ground. But new bright light on dogma or academic orthodoxy is obviously fit to make lot of people feel very uncomfortable, and starts to put Islam in a position the Christian churches went through long ago.
Keeping in mind the agony of Salman Rushdie, the author published his book under pseudonym: Christoph Luxenberg. Luxenberg himself claims to have chosen a pseudonym "...upon the counsel of Arab friends, after these became familiar with my work theses", to protect himself against possible violent repercussions, since Suliman Bashear, who voiced similar theories at the An-Najah National University in Nablus, was thrown out of the window by his scandalized Muslim students.
Ibn Warraq concluded his review of Luxenberg's book for the Guardian as follows: “As Luxenbreg's work has only recently been published we must await its scholarly assessment before we can pass any judgments. But if his analysis is correct then suicide bombers, or rather prospective martyrs, would do well to abandon their culture of death, and instead concentrate on getting laid 72 times in this world, unless of course they would really prefer chilled or white raisins, according to their taste, in the next.”
Gerd-Ruediger Puin, a professor at Saarland University in Germany and another Koran scholar on the philological level, maintains that this type of approach to Islam's holy book can help to defeat its fundamentalist and Manichean readings, and bring into a better light its ties with Judaism and Christianity.
Other reviewers expressed hope that this book will create “the sober revolution.” And it did, indeed!

The Bible says: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
Science teaches: In the beginning a pellet of matter exploded: Big Bang!
Philosophy is all about questioning the gods' powers over the world and trying to identify a single, natural substance: fire, water, earth, or air, as the primary material of the cosmos. The cosmos of philosophy is all matter in various stages of self-organization. Matter, aliens and huris belong together. Big Bang's expansions and contractions were anticipated by Heraclitus, the greatest pyromaniac of all ages in his Fragment 40:
What was scattered
Gathers,
What was gathered
Blows apart.
Science and Torah are irreconcilable. It would be nice to pretend, as the so-called theistic evolutionists do, that the study of evolution can be carried out without having any effect on religion. The heart of the matter is that evolution is, by definition, a story of origins, like the myth of Tammuz, or Mithra and of many others. This means that it really does supersede another creation story – in particular, the creation story as the very core of Judeo-Christian narrative.
Big Bang hypothesis is the basic teaching of Theosophy as it was expressed by H. Blavatsky in her Secret Doctrine: The fundamental Law in that system, the central point from which all emerged, around and toward which all gravitates, and upon which is hung the philosophy of the rest, is the One homogeneous divine SUBSTANCE-PRINCIPLE, the one radical cause. ( vol.1, bk.1). In Indian solar philosophy this divine substance is called puru i.e. point.
In 1964, the biologist George Simpson wrote a skeptical paper entitled On the Nonprevalence of Humanoids, in which he emphasized the futility of the search for advanced extraterrestrial life. He termed it a gamble of the most adverse odds in history. Pointing out that human are byproduct of countless special accidents, he concluded: “The assumption, so freely made by astronomer, physicists and some biochemists, that once life gets started anywhere, humanoids will eventually and inevitably appear is plainly false” (science 143 (1964) p. 772. But his voice was ignored by NASA, which is led rather by political than scientific considerations.
Indian religious philosophy regards the universe as resulting from a non purposive manifestation of, or emanation from, an absolute unity (substance) that is not personal in any strict sense.
In the Assyrian inscriptions we find recorded the Chaldeo-Babylonian idea of an evolution of the universe out of the primeval flood or “great deep,” and of the animal evolution out of the earth and sea.
The general idea of evolution in Nature, transmitted from the Chaldeans through the Phoenicians, took strong hold upon Greek thought and was developed in many perverse ways; Aristotle sometimes developed it in a manner which reminds us of modern views.
Hand in hand with evolutionism goes the idea that the Universe is built of four basic elements. In ancient Greece, at the very dawn of philosophy itself, a group who are now called atomists (particularly Leucippus and Democritus) postulated that all matter was formed of “atoms”, which were small, hard and indestructible. They taught that the atoms moved in a void, and that it was in eternal fallings and collisions of them that creates everything in the world (similarly in modern Science these fallings and collisions were initiated by “Big Bang”). By postulating the void that all atoms “fell” with relation to, they were perhaps the first explicit absolutists in history. They inspired Newton's absolute Space. He speculated, If ever space had not existed, God at that time would have been nowhere.
Aristotle envisioned all of nature as continually striving toward “the better” or “the good” (Physics 19218; On Generation and Corruption 336b28; Eudemian Ethics 1218a30). By “better” Aristotle has in mind certain specific qualities; he comments that being is better than non-being, life better than non-life, and soul better than matter. Thus, there is a meaningful sense in which “the whole of cosmos is permeated by some kind of upward desire and aspiration” - upward in the sense of toward form, life, and soul (Anthropic Principle). This outlook is essential to Aristotle because he sought to explain the puzzling phenomenon of spontaneous generation or origin of life. Plant and animal life seem to materialize out of inanimate matter – such as the maggots and flies that quickly appear in decaying animal waste.
Before the end of the 16th century, Galileo has begun experimenting with inclined planes and pendula, and had come up with some remarkable results, including that all objects “fall” (or roll down the inclined plane) at the same rate, regardless of their mass or the steepness of the slope.
Let me remind here that Galileo, using his telescope, claimed that he saw the detail of the moon that is invisible to the naked eye. This claim was consistent with the fundamental heliocentric dogma that the earth is one of heavenly planets and in this sense the title of Copernicus's book is to be understood, The Revolutions of the heavenly bodies.
Galileo's renderings revealed the moon shadows as craters, hills and valleys. Identifying such Earthlike topography in a heavenly body was an important step toward the conclusion that later put him at odds with the Catholic Church: that Earth was not the center of the universe. In other words, Galileo proclaimed, in opposition to Scripture, that the earth was not under providential care of God.
Do they see rains on the Moon with their telescopes, like they saw “canals” on Mars?
T. Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo (Frankfurt 1623) was well aware that Galileo's inspiration for seeing the detail of the moon that is invisible was derived from the same source as Muhammad's claim about billions upon billions of virgins inhabiting the “heavenly bodies” built of four philosophical elements. He wrote:
“Galileo also says that water exists on the moon and the planets which cannot be. These bodies are incorruptible, for do not all scholastics contend with Aristotle that they endure without change throughout all time? He describes land and mountains in the Moon and other celestial globes, and not only vilifies immeasurably the homes of angels, but lessens our hope regarding Heaven.
“If the four elements which form our world exist in the stars, it follows from the doctrine of Galileo that, as Muhammad declared, there are many worlds with lands and seas and with human inhabitants. However, Scripture speaks of only one world and of one created man, so that this belief is opposed to Scripture. I pass without comment the opinion that Galileo has revived the heresy that Christ must make atonement for the men who inhabit the stars and die there again; just as formerly it was said that Christ must be crucified a second time in the antipodes, if the men living there were to be saved as we have been saved. In other words, Galileo's Christ was a perpetual pilgrim, like John Paul II was.
Muhammad, for political reasons, rejected the idea of the Biblical Eden planted by God on earth and embraced instead the idea of the Garden of Immortality that the Babylonian myth placed in Heaven. Unlike the Biblical Adam who was simply “sent forth from the garden of Eden” (Gen. 3:23), the Koran's Adam was “sent down from the garden” (Sura Ta-Ha 20:123). Similarly, in the so-called Gospel of Marcion Jesus was sent down, maybe from a hanging, heavenly garden,” like a certain Clark Kent who can live in Smallville, like huris can live up there:
In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea,
Jesus descended (out of heaven) into Capernaum, a city in Galilee,
and was teaching (in the synagogue) on the Sabbath days,
And they were astonished at his doctrine (3:1/4:31)
Muhammad, like the Babylonian godman Etana ascended to heaven on the horse called Buraq. And remember all those killers on their way to the Virgins.
Newton took both impenetrability, and the lawlike behavior of bodies, to be essential features of our conception of body. Inspired by Galileo's idea of “Fall” he imagined the planets are falling to their common center of gravity like apples are falling to the ground of earth.
The first telescopic observations of the moon on record were carried out by the Englishman Thomas Hariot (c. 1560-1621), on the evening of July 26, 1609. However, based on his extant correspondence as well as entries in his notebooks, as in the case of sunspots Harriot did not appear to have drawn any particular physical significance from what he saw.
We know that some people can see phases of Venus with naked eye and maybe Moses was one of them.
One cannot help but wonder, is the moon a heavenly body (like a material girls, or huris) in the Copernican sense, or is it a light serving as a sign: “And God said,. 'Let there be lights in the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.” (Gen 1:14)
We learn from the Mishna Treatise Rosh Hashana 2:8 that “Rabban Gamliel had a chart of moon shapes on a wall, and he would show this to the people, and ask: Was it like this one? Like that one?” And that's exactly what the word 'sign' means.
The Russian Professor of astronomy A.B. Arkhipov in his book Nyerazgadannye Tainy Vsyelennoy(The Unsolved Secrets of the Universe) published in Moscow (2004 ISBN 5-94538-446-1) among the lunar marvels mentions the following astronomical events described in ancient chronicles:
1048 The Armenian Chronicle of Etaum Patmich of the 13th century reads: “In that year, on May 14, in the early night during the New Moon a star was visible on the disc of the Moon. According to Armenian astronomers Barsegyan and Parsamyan an attempt to identify this star with the supernova of 1054 means stretching the truth.
1064 “in those days a star of unusual brightness appeared within the circle of the moon after a few days following her moving away from the sun. J. Malvesius Chronicon (Muratori L.A. Retum Italicarium scriptores. Lib. 14. Milan, 1729, p. 873)
1540 W.S. Cameron's Lunar transient phenomena catalog (NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 78-03, Greenbelt: NASA, 1978, p. 109) describes a strange engraving depicting a star which appeared On November 26 on the black part of the New Moon
The same catalog mentions that on March 5, 1587 many people saw a star within the circle of the Moon “exactly between the edges of her horns.”
On page 136 of Prof. Arkhipov's book you'll find two copies: one representing a Byzantine coin depicting a star inside the horns of the New Moon (see the flag of Turkey and of other Muslim states) and a similar event as depicted by the pre-Columbian astronomers of Peru.
Cultural blindspots prevent people from seeing things that are perfectly obvious in other cultures. Furthermore, even within a culture that is capable of perceiving something, individuals usually cannot see things until they are educated to them (like Gestalt Psychology does). Exactly, like Moses was educating his people by giving them the ordinance to look out for the New Moons.
So try it for yourself and you'll see with your naked eyes. You'll see the blue sky through the “cutout” of the new moon, and sometimes the black part of it, which, obviously blocks the view of the blue sky, but not always, contrary to Galileo's claim. And then, you will be compelled to ask yourself the question, is Venus a body too if I can see blue sky through the cutout of its crescent. And then, maybe, you will admit that the earth created by G-d as our homeland is totally unique in the Universe. Exactly, like the Torah claims. Everything up there is to remind us of times, and seasons, and years and of other events important for our lives. And then you'll find easily the answer to the question why God created the heaven first: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In the myth it is the goddess of earth Gea who gives birth to both: gods and men.
The Nile Delta was the spot where life on earth was believed to have begun. The Sicilian-born Greek historian and mythographer Diodorus Siculus, writing in ca. 50 B.C. Cites as proof of its fecundity the fact that the soil was continuing to generate prodigious numbers of creatures, some only half formed, “the rest of the body still retaining the character of the earth from which it came,: while Herodotus tells us that the names of most of the gods came from that country. In this sense Egypt was called “the gift of the Nile” because as philosopher Thales taught the water was the father of all.
Another surprising thing about the Dialogue is that Galileo not only misrepresents the Copernican system as a beautifully simple affair, but seems to have been himself unaware of its complexities. He had never taken much interest in the tiresome details of planetary theory, and there was no real reason for him to plod through the technical chapters in the Revolutions from cover to cover. If he had done so, he could not have believed that all planets move with the same linear velocity, nor attributed the idea to Copernicus that the moon either shines in her own light or is transparent to the light of the sun. (Lettera del Maestro Paolo Antonio Foscraini, Carmelitano, sopra l'opinione de i Pittagorici e del Copernico della mobilita della Terra e stabilita del Sole, il nuove Sisteme del Mondo, Napoli, 1615). But transparency of the Moon would explain, otherwise incomprehensible fact mentioned above, that we can see through the moon during certain phases.
The prophet Muhammad taught that Muslim men martyred in a holy war will be rewarded with darked—eyed houris (huris) or perpetual virgins (Suras 44:51—56; 52:17—29; 55:46—78).
Dying to Kill, to enter the Heavenly Brothel
The Islamists, who hold a monopoly on Palestinian suicide bombings from 1993 to 2002, live in a world of paradox. Led by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), they establish schools, libraries and charities for the poor while, at the same time, disparaging this life (dunya) as a fleeting shadow to which fearful Israelis cling. They close bars and discos in Gaza, yet preach a sensual Paradise where the shahid, or martyr, enjoys rivers of wine and 72 dark-eyed virgins.
A grainy Hamas martyr video entitled The Giants of al-Qassem recorded in the summer of 1993, is the last will and testament of three young terrorists before they go to Jerusalem and hijack Bus No. 25, which they plan to blow up – with themselves inside – if Sheikh Yassin, then alive and incarcerated, is not released.
The only terrorist to survive the bungled mission is Salah Mustafa Uthman, who was crippled by a shot to the head. He tells the authors of the headiness felt by the three: “On the night before our operation, we had that feeling when you get married, on the night of the wedding, so excited.” The ‘Giants’ perform a weird wedding dance with their guns before the camera. Maybe this dance explains how Muhammad received convenient "revelations" that justified his insatiable lusts and numerous marriages -- including one to a 9-year-old girl! Details about Muhammad’s licentiousness, cruelty, and ruthless ambition make him a dangerous role model. Indeed, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin is a rotten cadaver which poisons our lives.
In August, 2001, the American television channel CBS aired an interview with a Hamas activist Muhammad Abu Wardeh, who recruited terrorists for terrorist bombings in Israel. Abu Wardeh was quoted as saying: “I described to him how God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness.” Muhammad Atta listened attentively. He waited impatiently for the promised virgins. Wardeh was in fact shortchanging his recruits since the rewards in Paradise for martyrs was 72 virgins.Islam is a religious ideology that validates actions in life with imaginary rewards in the afterlife.
Wardeh believed rather Al-Sayuti (d. 1505), Koranic commentator and polymath than the Holy Koran. Al Sayuti graphically elaborated the sensual pleasures. He wrote: “Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens (like after taking Cialis). The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one (i.e. Muslim) will marry 70 houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.”
Pashupati is the Horned God of the Indus Valley, of the great Harappan city culture that developed from a village culture approximately 6000 years ago, in northern India and what is now Pakistan. The Legend of Pashupati can be found in reference to the Indian God Shiva, of whom Pashupati is referred to as being the proto-type. If we examine the Pashupati seals we find a very similar scene. Again we find the horned God in a yogic posture surrounded by animals.. Also on some of these seals we find that the God's penis is visibly erect and the testicles prominent. His European counterpart was called Cernunnos.
Louis Rene Beres, Professor of International Law, Department of Political Science, Purdue University wrote: “To deter the Islamist 'suicide' terrorist plotting now underway in Iraq, Israel, Europe and also the United States itself, we must confront this formidable enemy with a tangible threat of real suicide...We should think, immediately, in terms of “desacralizing” this grotesque enemy's explicit and unashamed inversion of holiness. Without thinking about how exactly to accomplish this desacralization, our war on terrorists who “love death” will remain based on narrowly military grounds. In any such war we would surely fail. (The More Things Change...On Fighting A Terrorist Enemy Who Still 'Loves Death' in: The Jewish Press Magazine, Friday, January 18, 2008). Ideologically, President Kennedy's Moon Landing Program codenamed Apollo was a continuation of the aliens mania in the aftermath of WWII inspired by the Syrian, gnostic Christianity in conformity with the Middle East policy of President W. Wilson.
Prof. Beres's Dream Come True
Christoph Luxenberg's book The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran (Berlin 2007, revised and enlarged ed.) scrutinizes The Koran; its origin, transmission, collection, historical context and vocabulary were subjected to scientific methods.
The Koran is not an easy book to read, for at least one fifth of its content is “dark” or “obscure”. This was readily acknowledged by Muslim scholarship, as was the existence of non-Arabic vocabulary, including Aramaic, Persian, and Greek words. On the other hand, the Koran says of itself that is written in pure Arabic, easy to understand, and “clear”. These contradictions did not trouble anyone much: They constituted just another mysterious sign of the Koran's divine origin.
Luxenberg's book applies the toolkit of the historical linguist to the “dark” Koranic passages, working under the historically and linguistically entirely plausible assumption that there's more Aramaic in these passages than the “pure Arabic” doctrine cares to admit.
How “White, jewel-like Grapes” became “Huris”
The – in times of worldwide actions of an Islamic terrorism for obvious reason – most famous example of a new understanding of Koranic passages in Luxenberg's book concerns the “Huris”, these ever-virgin playmates who shall be given to the Islamic warriors in Paradise, With Luxenberg they became – again – the “white,jewel-like grapes”, we know as fruit of the Paradise from Ephrem Syrus' poem The Paradise (De Paradiso).”
The metaphor of refreshing the dead souls in the celestial realm by the old-testament fathers is well-known in the Christian-eastern and Byzantine literature. But the most important of all is a picture that appears in the oldest transmitted Christian prayer for the dead of the 3rd century, which was delivered by the Copts, the Syriacs, Armenians and Greeks. Here they prayed for the admission of the souls in the celestial realm and their refreshing, calming and renewal in the eternal life.
A fascinating transformation of this idea into the iconography is shown in a Syrian mural picture, in 1998 uncovered by Dr. Karel Innemee, Leiden, The Netherlands, in the Syrian monastery Deir al-Suryan in the Wadi Natrun in Egypt. Here the three Patriarchs Abraham, Isaak and Jacob are shown holding in their lap the souls of men, which they nourish with white grapes.
In the Gnostic document Revelation on Pistis Sophia Eros brings with him the first-fruits of sensual pleasure and of carnal union. At the same time, from the blood shed upon the earth, the vine is born and some other trees grow up. It is then that Justice – one of the powers of Sabaoth – creates a Paradise. There is found the Tree of Life, which is to render immortal the souls of the Just who are rising above matter. It grows up even to the sky; its beautiful branches are like those of the cypress and its fruits are like bunches of white grapes. (Jean Doresse, The Secret Booksa of the Egyptian Gnostics.1986, p.168)
Aldous Huxley in his book Ends and Means, 1946, p. 70 explains enthusiastic reception of evolutionism as follows: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning...The liberation we desired was.;..from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” In other words Muhammad, to a certain degree, anticipated the sexual revolution inherent in Darwin's evolutionism. Let me mention in this context that Zeus metamorphosed in various shapes, including these of animals, in order to satisfy his insatiable sexual urge.
Only sexual desire seemed reasonable to the Cynics. They avoided marriage as an external bond, but patronized prostitutes. Diogenes advocated free love and a community of wives, and Anthisthenes, seeking independence in everything, complained that he could not satisfy his hunger as solitary as he could assuage his lust. Having accepted sexual desire as normal and natural, like hunger, the Cynics professed themselves unable to understand why men should be ashamed to satisfy the one appetite like the other, in public. Like the animals do. We are but apes as prof. R. Dawkins assures us, who believes. with Huxley, that God is a delusion and as such should not interfere with our sexual freedom.
Interestingly, the English term 'whore' (German 'Hure'), an adulteress, f. of horr, an adulterer; probably from same root as Latin carus; Sanskrit, kama, love. The w does not properly belong to the word, but has intruded, as in whole. (Webster's Universal Dictionary)
According to Hindu definition there are thirteen emotions called Rasas. They are Sringara, also called Adi or the original sex rasa which lies at the very root of creation Accordingly, to this day, Shiva is worshiped in the image of his organ of procreation, often alone, and frequently conjoined with the corresponding female organ, which is sculpted to receive Siva's seed. You can see an orgy of pornographic sculptures in front of every Hindu temple.
Most commonly, in the sanctuaries where it is worshiped, the lingam is represented surrounded by the female organ of generation, the yoni. The yoni grasps the lingam, and indeed it is only when the phallus, the giver of semen, is surrounded by the yoni that procreation can take place. From the relation of linga and yoni, the whole world arises. Everything therefore bears the signature of the linga and the yoni. Each individual linga that enters a womb and procreates is a harbinger of divinity, and engaging in a sacred act. Virgil: “Tum pater omnipotens fecundis imbribis aether Conjugis in gremium laetae descendit.”—Geor. ii.The Christian heretic Justin who envisaged Jesus as ever-existent “seed-sowing Reason” believed that the good God was an erect phallus (Hippolytus, Refutation 5.7.21-22)
The Sumerian goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld sang;
“Plough my vulva
man of my heart,
plough my vulva.”
A large engraving of the sexual goddess in the shape of vulva was found in the dolmen of Luffang-on-Crach at Carnac, in France. The Vessica Piscis symbol of the goddess of Glastonbury represents both our birthplace into earthly existence from the Womb of the Goddess and the gateway to spiritual knowledge through her yoni, through sexual union with her.
Sheela-na-gig figures are found in many parts of Ireland and in a few churches in England, such as St Mary and St David's at Kilpeck, Herefordshire. The goddess displays her yoni, the place of power. They resemble statues of Kali in Hindu temples where visitors lick a finger and touch the yoni 'for luck'
For a long time, the pundits have wondered why it was necessary to decorate a place of worship with sexual material, but if one observes the materialistic (Loukika) thoughts of Hinduism, there is nothing unnatural about them. Let me remind here that J.G.R Furlong in his book Rivers of Life (London 1883) coined the term “phalo-solar worshippers” denoting the inhabitants of the Anglo-Indian areas.
The Muslims embraced three important components of Hindu religion: its mathematics, phallic architecture, and polygyny. The Moslem religion allows a man to have as many as four wives, and the Hindu religions sets no limit on the number of wives a man may have.
Disappointed when the Jews did not acknowledge his leadership, Muhammed turned against them and invoked Hanifism, the supposedly uncorrupted religion of Abraham, against them (According to one tradition, in this “uncorrupted religion” Abraham went through with the sacrifice of his son). He also ascribed to Abraham many of the elements of Arab paganism that he took over into Islam. From this time on, Muhammed no longer regarded Islam as a form of revelation ranking with Judaism and Christianity; he proclaimed it to be the one and only true religion.
And the phallic architecture of the Dome of the Rock which is modeled on the architecture of the innumerable Indian shrines of linga and yoni is the best symbol of the Hanifism or the de-judaized religion. Muhammad turned into an Aryan anti-Semite; he went back to the sacred prostitution of the ancient Babylonians and revived the idea of their Heavenly Brothel.
A few years ago, Father George Coyne, head of the Vatican Observatory Research Group who actually run the pontificate of John Paul II suggested that we might view stars as God's sperm. Every sperm has the potential to produce life, he said, but most of them never realize that goal. Like sperm, “each star is fired with a propensity for life, but there is no reason to think any of them have achieved this.” Well, the so-called sperm gnostics joined sperm with the Holy Logos, like Justin the Martyr.
The famous passages about the alleged Huris are based on the word hur (adjectiv in feminin plural), which in Arabic means simply “white”. The Arabic commentators postulated that this adjective is to be interpreted as “white-eyed” Virgins. But Luxenberg, with the help of Aramaic sources, solves the problem quite differently: the word hur means “white grapes”, typical Paradise fruits of the Syro-Christian literature.
Luxenberg expresses optimism and hope for more Christian-Muslim dialog in the face of newly discovered common ground. But new bright light on dogma or academic orthodoxy is obviously fit to make lot of people feel very uncomfortable, and starts to put Islam in a position the Christian churches went through long ago.
Keeping in mind the agony of Salman Rushdie, the author published his book under pseudonym: Christoph Luxenberg. Luxenberg himself claims to have chosen a pseudonym "...upon the counsel of Arab friends, after these became familiar with my work theses", to protect himself against possible violent repercussions, since Suliman Bashear, who voiced similar theories at the An-Najah National University in Nablus, was thrown out of the window by his scandalized Muslim students.
Ibn Warraq concluded his review of Luxenberg's book for the Guardian as follows: “As Luxenbreg's work has only recently been published we must await its scholarly assessment before we can pass any judgments. But if his analysis is correct then suicide bombers, or rather prospective martyrs, would do well to abandon their culture of death, and instead concentrate on getting laid 72 times in this world, unless of course they would really prefer chilled or white raisins, according to their taste, in the next.”
Gerd-Ruediger Puin, a professor at Saarland University in Germany and another Koran scholar on the philological level, maintains that this type of approach to Islam's holy book can help to defeat its fundamentalist and Manichean readings, and bring into a better light its ties with Judaism and Christianity.
Other reviewers expressed hope that this book will create “the sober revolution.” And it did, indeed!

The Horror of Heliocentric Cardiology
In the mythological lore, Ruler of the system is sun, the giver of life. Its influence is vitalising, hot, dry and constructive. It governs the heart, vitality, blood and brain. The right eye in a male and the left eye in a female. Sun causes physical disorders and those arising from cold.
G.J. Von Leuchen aka Rheticus was the only pupil of N. Copernicus. After having spent two years with Copernicus in Frauenburg (Frombork) he went to Danzig where he published his Narratio Prima or the First Report (1540) which is still considered to be the best introduction to Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. In 1542 Rheticus traveled to Nuernberg to supervise the printing of the Copernicus' book by Johannes Petreius.
A short passage in his Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) is the best key unlocking the astrological taproot of De revolutionibus. In this passage he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages. Let me decode this passage for you.
At the end of his life Rheticus renounced his Copernicanism.
The Babylonian astrologers were describing the sun as the fiery heart of the world, which vivifies the whole of this great organism, and as the stars obey its command, it reigns supreme over the universe. The sun, set in the midst of the superimposed planets, regulates their harmonious movements. As its heat impels them forward, then draws them back, it is constantly influencing, according to its various aspects, the direction of their course and their action upon the earth. The radiance of its splendor illuminates the divine immensity of the heavens, but at the same time in its brilliance there is intelligence; it is the origin of all reason, and, as a tireless sower it scatters unceasingly on the world below the seeds of a harvest of souls. Our brief life is but a particular form of the universal life…
Theon of Smyrna, a contemporary of Ptolemy. After expressing his opinion that mercury and Venus may, after all, be revolving round the sun, he goes on to say that the sun should be called the heart of the universe, which is both “a world and an animal.” (...) the mathematical center of the universe is where the earth is, cold and immovable, but the center of the world as animal is in the sun, which is, so to say, the heart of the universe.
The final section of the Galileo's Letter to the Grand Duchess is devoted to the miracle of Joshua. Galileo first explains that the sun's rotation around its axis is the cause of all planetary motion. “And just as the motion of the heart should cease in an animal, all other motions of its members would also cease, so if the rotation of the sun were to stop, the rotation of all the planets would stop too.”
Gilbert physician to Queen Elizabeth I and James I believed that all heavenly bodies are endowed with magnetism. Kepler was to use this idea to explain the motion of the planets. He was well aware of the fact that the Latin term sidus, star is derived from Gr. Sideros, iron. Similarly the Provencal aran, iran, airan – iron – is etymologically connected with the Greek aryan meaning both “lodestone” and “rising sun”. The English term siderite means magnetic iron or lodestone. Cp. Galileo’s “Sidereus Nuncius” (Starry Messenger). Let me remind here that in an Assyrian love spell from ancient Iraq, iron filings placed on a woman’s genitals were supposed to attract her to a man who had similarly anointed himself with a mixture of powdered lodestone and oil. The sexual ingredient of Gilbert’s “magnetic coition” was set by Newton into his Third Law which sees forces as acting between two bodies, not as one body exerting a force on the other. He spoke of action and reaction, which he declared to be equal and opposite.
Ancient Egyptians expressed the same dogma as follows: “The heart is the center, its vessels lead to all the members; whether the doctor…lays his finger on the forehead, on the back of the head, on the hands, on the place of the stomach, on the arms, or on the feet, everywhere he meets with the heart (i.e. pulse) because its vessels lead to all the members.” The heart was therefore called also “the beginning of all the members.”
In explaining human disease, if everything else failed, one could always appeal to the influence of the stars on the elements, which accounts for the fact that a knowledge of astrology was still needed to qualify in medicine as late as the second half of the 18th century. Paracelsus used magnets to concentrate in his patients what he believed to be a cosmic fluid with healing properties. The four humors (fluids) or, the cardinal humors of the astrological medicine were blood. Phlegm, choler (yellow bile), and melancholo (black bile).
A popular encyclopedia of medieval heliocentric astrology compiled by M. Capella was titled The Marriage of Mercury and Philology (De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii). The celestial marriage described by M. Capella inspired two best-known scientists of the Renaissance era: Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) physician and poet, and N. Copernicus (1473-1543) also physician, poet and astrologer. In his long poem, Fracastoro argues that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as “coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The term influenza came from the same astrological stable because it is derived from from the Latin fluxus, a flowing, flux. Interestingly Newton believed that the human body is pervaded by an invisible fluid that is responsive to planetary gravitation.
Maurice Samuel suggested that Jew-hatred sublimates the yearning of Christians for the freedoms of the pagan world ruled by the sun god seated on the throne in the middle of the planets. They resent Christian morality as the straight jacket that inhibits the release of their pagan instincts that emerge occasionally in their consciousness. Well, the Renaissance pandemic of syphilis followed the same pagan lewdness as the present pandemic of AIDS follows the destruction of moral inhibitions in sexual behavior in the wake of the Sex and Drugs Revolution. In a 1985 “New York Native” interview Joseph Sonnabend (“leading AIDS doctor”) invalidated Mosaic proscription of sodomy with his “expert”opinion as follows: “The rectum”, Sonnabend said, “is a sexual organ, and it deserves the respect a penis gets and a vagina gets.” Anal intercourse has been the central activity for gay men and for some women for all of history. One should add, with very tragic consequences. Because:
“The anus is not designed by nature to accommodate a penis without severe injury and the eventual destruction of the intended function of the organ. Isn't that clear? Violations of the natural law do such things. Just imagine what anal penetration is in realistic terms: imagine the woman, face down, receiving no pleasure (she has no prostate gland) and receiving anal tears while her husband pushes himself inside her again and again, aping the reproductive act. Then, to mollify what is left of his conscience, he puts his fecal-stained penis, full of bacteria, into her vagina and near her urethra, causing more infection and pain. Does this sound remotely natural to you? How unnatural does something have to be for you to admit it? Could he otherwise hurt her, bite her, or tear her, destroying some faculty of her body in the process, and still call this natural intercourse or acceptable foreplay? With anal penetration there is pain, disease, infection, alteration of size of the anus, tears that sometimes require surgery, the inability to hold fecal matter... Nothing is unnatural if sodomy isn't. The mouth is designed to kiss, to eat, to vomit. None of these things, when nature dictates them, destroy the natural capacities and health of the mouth. To imagine anal penetration to be as harmless as kissing is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. Good Lord.” (A comment in the dispute about John Paul II's Theology of the Body)The author of this comment is a Catholic so he used the term 'nature' instead of God and 'natural laws' instead of God's laws. Let me add to this comment the following observation: “The “leading AIDS doctor” did not know that the people of Katmandu suffer from chronic intestinal parasites caused by drinking water contaminated with fecal matter. “Versatile” anal sex and new behaviors such as analingus, or rimming facilitated the spread of otherwise difficult-to-transmit microbes. Gay men created almost laboratory conditions both to amplify STDs and then to spread these diseases throughout the world. And all these facts prove that the Bible is, indeed the God inspired Book of Books.
A. Mesmer's “animal gravitation” (later renamed “animal magnetism) was but a version of Descartes's “animal spirits”. The French philosopher advanced a mechanical-hydraulic theory of much of human behavior. The fluid filling the ventricles or cavities of the brain (we know it today as cerebrospinal fluid) he took to be “animal spirits”, a highly purified compound of blood, the coarser parts of which, he supposed, were filtered out by tiny arteries before it reached brain (This was his modification of the Greek notion that pneuma (air), the essential substance of soul, circulated through the nervous system (Airhead!). Since the nervous system radiates out from the brain to all parts of the body, the animal spirits must flow from the brain through the nerves (which Descartes, like the Greeks believed to be hollow), and, reaching the muscles caused them to swell and move (like the penis when the blood flows into it).
He asked himself what initiates the flow of animal spirits to the muscles and again used the analogy of the royal automata, which were activated by water turned on when a visitor stepped on hidden pedals. In living creatures, he suggested, sensory stimuli play the same part by creating pressure on the sense organs; this pressure, transmitted by the nerves to the brain, opens particular valves, thereby causing bodily action of one kind or another. But the mechanical-hydraulic theory did not explain consciousness, reasoning, or will.
The deterministic concept of the Aryan materialistic, heliocentric philosophy is reflected in the classical Sanskrit of ancient manuscripts. Sanskrit uses few descriptive verbs to denote action – 'John run the street', for example become 'John did running the down the street' in which 'running down the street' is regarded as a state in which John happened to be, rather than an action he choose to perform. Heraclitus 's “all things flow' is almost unrecognizable as sarvam anityam 'all existences are impermanent'. Man in this philosophy is like a toy with a key in its back which sets him in motion from without, unlike the Biblical man who is set in motion from within, by his free will.
The Darwinian Machine
“Love it or hate it, phenomena like this (DNA) exhibit the heart of the power of the Darwinian idea. An impersonal, unreflective, robotic mindless little scrap of molecular machinery is the ultimate basis of all agency, and hence meaning, and hence consciousness, in the universe.(Daniel Dennet)
Scientific research accustoms people to think in determinist categories because it proceeds as if each event has a cause that fully determines it. The man is all matter and his actions completely determined by events over which he has no control, we may ask wherein lies his uniqueness. The obvious answer to that question comes from another product of the Enlightenment, French physician Julien La Mettrie, who wrote a book in 1748 entitled Man the Machine. He argued that human beings were small machines connected to the large machine we call nature. At death those small machines stop and distintegrate. “Mechanics is the paradise of mathematical sciences, for by it means one comes to the fruit of mathematics” in useful work. (L. da Vinci)
In so far as religion assumes the world to be directed by conscious agents who may be turned from their purpose by persuasion, it stands in fundamental antagonism to magic as well as science, both of which take for granted that the course of nature is determined not by passions or caprices of personal beings, but by the operation of immutable laws acting mechanically, like the Greek tyche (fate). You cannot pray to Natural Laws as you cannot to pray to your PC to act differently. And that's why Science will never satisfy the human spirit.
It should be reminded here that Newton, originally, called his calculus fluxions. This idea of flow borrowed from Heraclitus's philosophy inspired by the Buddhist idea of impermanence was to express variable, inconstant subject of his astronomical researches.
Vedic Astrology is called “Jyotish” in Sanskrit Jyoti = Light + Isha=Lord = “Lords of Light” or “Science of Light” i.e. Heliocentrism. Jyotish i.e. Astrology was considered the most important part of the Vedas. In Hindu Pantheism the universe is evolving from the central Sun, the POINT (puru, like that of Big Bang), the ever-concealed germ. The central Sun is Deity – the World Soul. It is also the Chakra or circle of Vishnu.
The sun placed on the chest of St. Thomas Aquinas by Fra Angelico in his portrait of the Doctor Angelicus expresses the same idea which Rhetikus formulated in words in his Narratio. The astrological correspondence between the sun and the human heart was always present in Greek language in which the noun nous has double meaning: sun and heart. Accordingly, the astrologers Vettius, Valens, Rhetorius, Proclus referred to sun as φώς νοέρόν (intelligent light which may produce intelligent design).
In the rare treatise The Secret Symbols of The Rosicrucians, Franz Hartmann defines the sun alchemically as: "The symbol of Wisdom. The Centre of Power or Heart of things. The Sun is a centre of energy and a storehouse of power. Each living being contains within itself a centre of life, which may grow to be a sun in the heart of the regenerated, the divine power, stimulated by the Light of the Logos, grows into a Sun which illuminates his mind." In a note, the same author amplifies his description by adding: "The terrestrial sun is the image or reflection of the invisible celestial sun; the former is in the realm of Spirit what the latter is in the realm of Matter; but the latter receives its power from the former."
In the 17th century French representation of the chakras, human body is viewed as a reduced solar system in which heart (nous) corresponds with the sun (nous). In Descartes’s philosophy heart is a hot vessel, kind of ionization chamber setting in circular motion (Cp. Bohr’s model of the atom) electrons and ions within the nervous system to originate a thought within the brain. Tantric Buddhists (Tibetans) use practices known as chandali to let energy rise through the chakras to help towards enlightenment symbolized by aureola around the head. Swastika on the Buddha's chest stands for the sun.
Interestingly the term “Magisterium” denoting the teaching of the Catholic Church also means “philosopher’s stone.” Following the tradition of Aristotle who was raised by Th. Aquinas to the rank of a Church Doctor the medieval alchemist believed that man’s body, like all other material things, was composed of four elements, earth, air, fire and water. Each individual had his own particular mixture of these – his temperamentum, as they called it. This was determined at conception and birth by the influence of the constellations and planets. The aptitudes, weaknesses and chances of success or failure of each human being sprang from his elemental composition. Since no one had been properly mixed since Adam, the problem emerged of discovering some sovereign remedy – secretum maximum – which would cleanse and rectify man’s composition and so produce a superman, full of physical and mental vigor and enjoying a life prolonged through many joyous centuries. Hence the persistent search for the Elixir, or philosopher’s stone, which should produce these marvelous results, as well as transform the baser metals into gold, which, in ancient Egypt, was known to be the flesh of the sun.
The god who brought his people out of Egypt was to be celebrated in the Hebrew Bible as the God of History. Only when the children of Israel lapsed into idolatry – gave themselves to the worship of Baal, or sun god – that they turned rather to God of Nature, glorifying the forces of the physical universe and the fertility of the earth. In its idolatry, Israel, like the modern admirers of heliocentrism rejected the Mosaic insight that there is one God, the God of both nature and history. Turning away from the biblical emphasis on the distinction between man and nature, modern scientists are attracted by Eastern mysticism, which views man as a part of nature. They assume that a rigid culture exists in natural history just as electricity or gravitation exists, and that it is capable of analysis in much the same way. Their error plunges man into complete irrationality, because mind, reason, will, thought, and knowledge can have no ontological existence in such a world. They are mere shadows of the only world that exists (Shakespeare: “we are such stuff as the dreams are made of”), the world of matter. Everything that distinguishes man from nature disappears in this outlook, and that can only mean that man himself disappears. The triumph of heliocentrism presumed in John Paul II's rehabilitation of Galileo means the abolition of man. The Bolshevik philosophy was the most consequent exposition of homo heliocentricus. For the Soviet believers in Lenin’s philosophy man definitely lacked free-will, and appeared in every moment and every act to be bound, subject to, and determined by, fixed laws. ”, A. Gastev had discovered the basic law of movement: all movements, in his theory, could be traced back top two archetypes, an “up” and a “down”. This principle of organization was extended to all physiological elements, and thus a “rhythmic rotation of work” was produced, which not only completely did away with all disturbing caprices and eccentricities of the nerves and the soul, but removed all constitutional mental obstacles. The machine man (L’homme machine of Le Mettrie) was produced – and guaranteed to function properly. In the 1630s, Descartes visited the royal gardens at Versailles, which were known for their intricate automata. When water was made to flow, music sounded, sea nymphs began to play, and a giant Neptune, complete with trident, advanced menacingly. Whether the idea was in his mind before this visit or not, Descartes philosophy, which he supported with his mathematics, proclaimed that the universe and all of the things in it were automata. It was Galileo who, following the Middle Ages Scholastic Philosophy, first quantified the physical world. He measured the motion, frequency, velocity, and duration of everything from falling stones to swinging pendulums. It was Rene Descartes who developed many of the fundamental techniques of modern mathematics and gave us the picture of the universe as a Great Machine. It was Isaac Newton who formulated the mathematical laws by which the Great Machine runs. Galileo asserted that “Nature is written in the language of mathematics,” and this dogma explains the title of Newton’s book “Philosophiae Naturae Principia Mathematica.” In Maiakovski’s poem Left March describing “the religion of action” the “soul becomes steam, compressed air, electricity” and moves the body in a heliocentric “rhythmic rotation of work”.
Biblical Medicine vs. Heliocentric Cardiology
The event that caused the title “father of modern biology” to be bestowed upon William Harvey was his discovery, in the early 1600s, that the ordinary engineering principles that govern the pumping and flow of liquids are capable of accounting for the functions performed by the heart, an organ that had previously been thought to belong in the realm of unknowable.
In Thomas Digges's translation of The Revolutions the sun is “like the king in the middest of al who reigneth and geeveth lawes of motion to ye rest.” In this translation the sun stands for abstract Nature, or the essential inherent force formed by the assumption of a single prima cause. In the world of Prime Mover character of man is produced by “gym rooms”. This was also the doctrine of the English public schools in spite of the fact that human actions are not simply bodily movements. Natural man was a child of natural philosophy according to the dogma of natural selection.
According to Encyclopedia Americana W. Harvey whose description of the circulation of blood through the body established the first principle of modern physiology and medicine, was a staunch follower of Aristotle and adopted his basic vitalism. His views on the circulation of the blood reflect the Aristotelian theories of the central, sunlike, monarchical role of the heart. In other words, Harvey viewed human heart as the Aristotelian prime mover and thus promoted mechanistic thinking in biology. And although the concept of the heart as a pump is absent from Harvey’s great work Anatomical exercises concerning the motion of the heart and blood in animals, the idea does occur in a set of his lecture notes on anatomy. The child's heart beats about 120 times a minute. The heart of a 7-year-old child beats about 90 times a minute. An adult's heart beats about 70 times a minute. Was that the message of the sun on the chest of St. Thomas Aquinas? It remains to be explained yet how the sun could affect these changes.
In the Physical Body only one organ is dominant – the Heart (St. Thomas Aquinas)
In the same way as a spider in in the centre of the web holds its in its feet all the beginnings of the threads, in order to feel by close contact if an insect strikes the web, and where, so does the ruling part of the soul, situated in the middle of the heart, check on the beginnings of the senses in order to perceive their messages from close proximity. (Chalcidius ad Timaeum)
We have two competing views on human life: “The life of all flesh is the blood thereof” (Lev 17:14; Dt. 12:33) and Bushnell’s view that “The life of man is his heart” which was inspired by the Harvey doctrine of the heart. It is easy to prove the superiority of the Biblical insight into functioning of human body. We influence the composition of our blood in two ways: by inhaling the mixture of gases called air and by taking in our daily foods. You'll grasp the paramount import of the Biblical dietary laws while reflecting on a simple case of one of diseases caused by an acute deficiency in the amount of glucose in the blood. Hypoglycemia which causes nervous syndromes such as psychasthenia, neurasthenia, muscular asthenia, migraine, petit mal, narcolepsy, epilepsy, and psychosis can be cured very fast and easily by observing a simple diet. We can slow down or speed up movements of our hearts by taking various foods or drugs. Cardiovascular dynamics was a major focus of German doctor Ludwig's research. The isolated frog heart came into use as a basic model after Ludwig discovered, in 1856, that it could be revived and kept beating by perfusion of the coronary arteries with defibrinated blood. (John Galbraith Simmons, Doctors and Discoveries. Lives That Created Today's Medicine Boston (2002). Fibrin is strongly elastic protein formed when blood clots. Too high level of cholesterol of Benedict XVI's blood induced his personal physician to prescribe for His Holiness kosher dainties.
Thyroid Hormones at Work
When the body requires more thyroid hormones, the gland secrets T4 into the blloodstrem, and from there the T4 and its derivatives can affect all body cells.
Just as accelerator controls the speed of a car's engine, thyroid hormones regulate the rate of the body's metabolism – chemical activity in cells produces energy and new tissue. Thus thyroid hormones promote normal tissue growth and repair, affect cardiac rate, and maintain the production of energy for muscles and body heat.
In the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid hormones sped up the secretion of digestive juices and also increase the rhythmic waves of muscular contractions (peristalsis). Thus, too much thyroid hormone can cause frequent bowel movements, and too little, constipation.
Hyperthyroidism, Excessive agitation, unexplained weight loss, rapid heartbeat, increase in bowel movements, irregular menstrual periods, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, protruding eyeballs, muscular weakness, insomnia, and thin brittle hair.
In Acts 7:22 we read:
“And Moses was educated in all the science and learning of the Egyptians.” This verse had had convinced the British researcher Gerald Massey that the five books of Moses represented Egyptian astronomical allegories which had been literalized, historicized and humanized. The Book of Exodus especially seemed to abound with Egyptian astronomical types that were recreated to form Jewish “history”. As he stated:
The Hebrew Books of the Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, and Judges are invaluable as a virgin mine of mythology; they are of utmost importance as an aid in recovering the primeval types of Egyptian thought…For the Hebrews, who collected and preserved so much, have explained nothing. There is evidence enough to prove the types are Egyptian and the people who brought them out of Egypt must have been more or less Egyptian in race, and of a religion that was Egyptian of the earliest and oldest kind. Undoubtedly there is some very slight historic nucleus in the Hebrew narrative, but it has been so mixed with myth that it is far easier to recover the celestial allegory with the aid of its correlatives than it is to restore the human history.”
Nothing farther from the truth. The first commandment the Jews were given as a people is the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon: “And God said to Moses...in the land of Egypt ... This month is for you, the head of the months. First it is for you among the months of the year.” - Ex 12:1-2
This is a strange first commandment. You'd think the development of the calendar would only come after the establishment of the basic fundamentals like the Ten Commandments. And yet the Torah considers the process of establishing the new month as a major breakthrough in creating a nation. And what was wrong with the solar calendar that everyone else had been using? What is the significance of basing the Jewish calendar on the moon?
Whereas the sun is the symbol of unchanging nature, rising in the east, setting in the west, day in and day out every day of the year, the moon changes and it seems to be telling us something. And her message thwarts all matematical calculations. The moon is mathematically unpredictable. By commandment of the New Moon which meant the rejection of Egyptian mathematical and godless science Moses consolidated his nation. The rejection of the astrological lore of the Egyptian priests which centered around the sun god made it possible for Moses to reject the Egyptian dregs pharmacy and to proclaim God's dietary laws. Moses answered the question, what is more important 'heart' or blood' by pointing to the fact, that we influence the composition of our blood by taking our daily foods. And that was the most revolutionary idea in the history of medicine and of the human Knowledge for that matter. For instance, the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels forms plaques which may eventually restrict the flow of blood (The term derives from Greek chole, bile + stereos solid, stiff). The cholesterol is contained in all in bile, nervous tissues, blood. The Bible forbids eating the blood which is removed from kosher foods. The Jews don't eat blood-dripping steaks.
Well, ancient Egyptian prescriptions hovered between medicine & magic, and relief for their effectiveness in great part on the repulsiveness of the concoction. Lizard's blood, swine's ears and teeth, putrid meat and fat, a tortoise's brains, an old book boiled in oil, the milk of a lying-in woman, the water of a chaste woman, the excreta of men (sodomy can be considered a healing act in this medicine) , donkeys, dogs, lions, cats, and lice – all these are found in the prescriptions. (Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage, p. 183). Where did G. Massey find that in the Bible?
Is the Bible trustworthy? R. Virchow, known as the Father of Modern Pathology, said: “Moses was the greatest hygienist, the world has seen. Depending upon revealed knowledge and possessing no scientific equipment, Moses taught in essentials nearly every principle of hygiene now practiced. Moses forbade the use of both swine’s and shellfish; and it may be pertinent to remark that the Gentile world which largely ignores these health rules, shows an estimated occurrence of trichina infections among adults in the US of an alarmingly high percent! Hogs like buzzards and vultures are scavengers created by God to eat up the rotten flesh of things dead. Strychnine will not kill them, but it will kill people. So would you place the authority of Father N. Copernicus, the Vatican’s playboy, whose brother, a high-ranking curialist died of syphilis, over that of the Holy Bible? It might mean the choice of life or death. Like for those British cows that were fed scientifically, according to the rules of Darwinian biology. The British cattle were almost exterminated by the Darwinian Science!
The Story of the Golden Calf undermines the main idea of the hypothesis of Big Bang inspired by the mythology of the gods of fire.
Moses Thrashes Big Bang
The Vedic god Surya was a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun. So, Moses took the calf, which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the people of Israel drink it. (Ex. 32:20). Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do unto thee, that you hast brought a great sin upon them?”
Moses posed a direct question to the high priest, who led the people astray in their wickedness. It is written: thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil (Ex. 23:2). Here, Aaron has immediately done exactly that. Note Aaron’s response:
“And Aaron said, 'Let not the anger of my lord burn hot; you know the people, that they are set on evil. 23 For they said to me, `Make us gods, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' 24 And I said to them, `Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." (RSV Exodus 32:22-24 22) Why gold? Well, Egypt was rich in gold, which was valued for its beauty and because it was believed to be of the flesh of the sun god. So this calf came out of the fire exactly like Daniel's Bar Elahin came out of the fiery furnace, because m=E/c². Apollo was called Eleleus because he orbited in a collected mass of fire. The first principle alternately creates the world from itself and again itself from the world, and all things, Heraclitus says, are an exchange for fire, and fire for all things, as goods are for gold and gold for goods.” (Plutarch, On the E at Delphi 388DE). Christianity regards Daniel as a saint and as prophet. Judaism considers the Book of Daniel a part of its canon, but does not regard Daniel as a prophet.
Evolving Bull
In later Jewish folklore the Biblical story was supplemented with remark that the “calf was walking by itself and grazing in the pasture.” (See, Pirqei deRabbi Eliezer 25: “Satan entered it and mooed in order to misled Israel.”).. As a result of its relentless evolution the golden calf mutated to a Moses of the British Israelites, aka John Bull wearing Union Jack with the Babylonian solar cross on his chest.
Encyclopedia Britannica calls Moses “This former stammering murderer”* because he dared to kill a sadistic slave master thus preventing a senseless murder of a helpless human being. But can a slave be considered a human being in the context of Malthus's Essay on Population?
The Elizabethan poor laws of the 1580s treated the able-bodied poor as prisoners in workhouses and gave the rest starvation-level aid (the royal welfare, or the royal euthanasia). The labor market meant that the costs and restraints that serfdom imposed on the lord could be rudely jettisoned. Now the landlord could just hire workers in exchange for cash. As the villagers grew older and less capable of hard labor, the lord would not renew their contracts and would turn them loose on the highways, and into the town and forests. The towns restricted immigration. In the forests, if the peasants were not too old they could join groups, such as the one headed by Robin.
Referring to famine as a check on population, Bishop Malthus wrote in the following incredibly sincere passage from the revised sixth Edition of his Essay on the Principle of Population. 16th edition (1862):
“...We should facilitate, instead of impede, the operations of nature in producing this mortality; and if we dread the frequent visitation of the horrid form of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction which we compel nature to use. Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits.” They are nothing but riff-raff.

Pavel Seifter, Director of Foreign Policy Department wrote to me on August 22, 1994 on behalf of Vaclav Havel, President of Czech Republic:
“President Havel would agree with you that, in this rapidly changing and transforming era, it is necessary to find some basic values which can bring greater security and meaning to life. He has often warned of the danger of those who think of man as the center of the universe, thus separating humans from the world around us and making it appear that we have no one to whom we answer. Because of such philosophies, the former regimes throughout the region left behind environments that were deeply damaged and societies that were badly shaken. The search for a new set of values which can form the basis of strong and healthy democracies here and around the world is one of the great challenges of the modern era. The President supports those, like you, who are engaged in this important task. He joins me in wishing you all the best. Please accept also the assurances of my highest regards.”

1.Roman Pytel just blew my mind.
1.Thank you, Roman Pytel. Interesting.
1.“My question: Do you believe, like Copernicus, that the sun is a god? Can you remove this religious belief from his book without destroying the logic of the Renaissance religious revolution as reflected in The Revolutions?”
That’s an excellent question, Roman. Let’s see how the moonbats worm their way out of THAT one!
By the way, I think you’ve written one of the most useful, cogent, and intelligent comments in this entire thread (Blog4Brownback). I don’t agree with everything you’ve said, but the overall trend of your analysis is complete and utter genius. With your permission, I’ll quote it in its entirety in a separate post.
Comment by Sisyphus — June 19, 2007 @ 7:47 am
G.J. Von Leuchen aka Rheticus was the only pupil of N. Copernicus. After having spent two years with Copernicus in Frauenburg (Frombork) he went to Danzig where he published his Narratio Prima or the First Report (1540) which is still considered to be the best introduction to Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. In 1542 Rheticus traveled to Nuernberg to supervise the printing of the Copernicus' book by Johannes Petreius.
A short passage in his Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) is the best key unlocking the astrological taproot of De revolutionibus. In this passage he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages. Let me decode this passage for you.
At the end of his life Rheticus renounced his Copernicanism.
The Babylonian astrologers were describing the sun as the fiery heart of the world, which vivifies the whole of this great organism, and as the stars obey its command, it reigns supreme over the universe. The sun, set in the midst of the superimposed planets, regulates their harmonious movements. As its heat impels them forward, then draws them back, it is constantly influencing, according to its various aspects, the direction of their course and their action upon the earth. The radiance of its splendor illuminates the divine immensity of the heavens, but at the same time in its brilliance there is intelligence; it is the origin of all reason, and, as a tireless sower it scatters unceasingly on the world below the seeds of a harvest of souls. Our brief life is but a particular form of the universal life…
Theon of Smyrna, a contemporary of Ptolemy. After expressing his opinion that mercury and Venus may, after all, be revolving round the sun, he goes on to say that the sun should be called the heart of the universe, which is both “a world and an animal.” (...) the mathematical center of the universe is where the earth is, cold and immovable, but the center of the world as animal is in the sun, which is, so to say, the heart of the universe.
The final section of the Galileo's Letter to the Grand Duchess is devoted to the miracle of Joshua. Galileo first explains that the sun's rotation around its axis is the cause of all planetary motion. “And just as the motion of the heart should cease in an animal, all other motions of its members would also cease, so if the rotation of the sun were to stop, the rotation of all the planets would stop too.”
Gilbert physician to Queen Elizabeth I and James I believed that all heavenly bodies are endowed with magnetism. Kepler was to use this idea to explain the motion of the planets. He was well aware of the fact that the Latin term sidus, star is derived from Gr. Sideros, iron. Similarly the Provencal aran, iran, airan – iron – is etymologically connected with the Greek aryan meaning both “lodestone” and “rising sun”. The English term siderite means magnetic iron or lodestone. Cp. Galileo’s “Sidereus Nuncius” (Starry Messenger). Let me remind here that in an Assyrian love spell from ancient Iraq, iron filings placed on a woman’s genitals were supposed to attract her to a man who had similarly anointed himself with a mixture of powdered lodestone and oil. The sexual ingredient of Gilbert’s “magnetic coition” was set by Newton into his Third Law which sees forces as acting between two bodies, not as one body exerting a force on the other. He spoke of action and reaction, which he declared to be equal and opposite.
Ancient Egyptians expressed the same dogma as follows: “The heart is the center, its vessels lead to all the members; whether the doctor…lays his finger on the forehead, on the back of the head, on the hands, on the place of the stomach, on the arms, or on the feet, everywhere he meets with the heart (i.e. pulse) because its vessels lead to all the members.” The heart was therefore called also “the beginning of all the members.”
In explaining human disease, if everything else failed, one could always appeal to the influence of the stars on the elements, which accounts for the fact that a knowledge of astrology was still needed to qualify in medicine as late as the second half of the 18th century. Paracelsus used magnets to concentrate in his patients what he believed to be a cosmic fluid with healing properties. The four humors (fluids) or, the cardinal humors of the astrological medicine were blood. Phlegm, choler (yellow bile), and melancholo (black bile).
A popular encyclopedia of medieval heliocentric astrology compiled by M. Capella was titled The Marriage of Mercury and Philology (De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii). The celestial marriage described by M. Capella inspired two best-known scientists of the Renaissance era: Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) physician and poet, and N. Copernicus (1473-1543) also physician, poet and astrologer. In his long poem, Fracastoro argues that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as “coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The term influenza came from the same astrological stable because it is derived from from the Latin fluxus, a flowing, flux. Interestingly Newton believed that the human body is pervaded by an invisible fluid that is responsive to planetary gravitation.
Maurice Samuel suggested that Jew-hatred sublimates the yearning of Christians for the freedoms of the pagan world ruled by the sun god seated on the throne in the middle of the planets. They resent Christian morality as the straight jacket that inhibits the release of their pagan instincts that emerge occasionally in their consciousness. Well, the Renaissance pandemic of syphilis followed the same pagan lewdness as the present pandemic of AIDS follows the destruction of moral inhibitions in sexual behavior in the wake of the Sex and Drugs Revolution. In a 1985 “New York Native” interview Joseph Sonnabend (“leading AIDS doctor”) invalidated Mosaic proscription of sodomy with his “expert”opinion as follows: “The rectum”, Sonnabend said, “is a sexual organ, and it deserves the respect a penis gets and a vagina gets.” Anal intercourse has been the central activity for gay men and for some women for all of history. One should add, with very tragic consequences. Because:
“The anus is not designed by nature to accommodate a penis without severe injury and the eventual destruction of the intended function of the organ. Isn't that clear? Violations of the natural law do such things. Just imagine what anal penetration is in realistic terms: imagine the woman, face down, receiving no pleasure (she has no prostate gland) and receiving anal tears while her husband pushes himself inside her again and again, aping the reproductive act. Then, to mollify what is left of his conscience, he puts his fecal-stained penis, full of bacteria, into her vagina and near her urethra, causing more infection and pain. Does this sound remotely natural to you? How unnatural does something have to be for you to admit it? Could he otherwise hurt her, bite her, or tear her, destroying some faculty of her body in the process, and still call this natural intercourse or acceptable foreplay? With anal penetration there is pain, disease, infection, alteration of size of the anus, tears that sometimes require surgery, the inability to hold fecal matter... Nothing is unnatural if sodomy isn't. The mouth is designed to kiss, to eat, to vomit. None of these things, when nature dictates them, destroy the natural capacities and health of the mouth. To imagine anal penetration to be as harmless as kissing is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. Good Lord.” (A comment in the dispute about John Paul II's Theology of the Body)The author of this comment is a Catholic so he used the term 'nature' instead of God and 'natural laws' instead of God's laws. Let me add to this comment the following observation: “The “leading AIDS doctor” did not know that the people of Katmandu suffer from chronic intestinal parasites caused by drinking water contaminated with fecal matter. “Versatile” anal sex and new behaviors such as analingus, or rimming facilitated the spread of otherwise difficult-to-transmit microbes. Gay men created almost laboratory conditions both to amplify STDs and then to spread these diseases throughout the world. And all these facts prove that the Bible is, indeed the God inspired Book of Books.
A. Mesmer's “animal gravitation” (later renamed “animal magnetism) was but a version of Descartes's “animal spirits”. The French philosopher advanced a mechanical-hydraulic theory of much of human behavior. The fluid filling the ventricles or cavities of the brain (we know it today as cerebrospinal fluid) he took to be “animal spirits”, a highly purified compound of blood, the coarser parts of which, he supposed, were filtered out by tiny arteries before it reached brain (This was his modification of the Greek notion that pneuma (air), the essential substance of soul, circulated through the nervous system (Airhead!). Since the nervous system radiates out from the brain to all parts of the body, the animal spirits must flow from the brain through the nerves (which Descartes, like the Greeks believed to be hollow), and, reaching the muscles caused them to swell and move (like the penis when the blood flows into it).
He asked himself what initiates the flow of animal spirits to the muscles and again used the analogy of the royal automata, which were activated by water turned on when a visitor stepped on hidden pedals. In living creatures, he suggested, sensory stimuli play the same part by creating pressure on the sense organs; this pressure, transmitted by the nerves to the brain, opens particular valves, thereby causing bodily action of one kind or another. But the mechanical-hydraulic theory did not explain consciousness, reasoning, or will.
The deterministic concept of the Aryan materialistic, heliocentric philosophy is reflected in the classical Sanskrit of ancient manuscripts. Sanskrit uses few descriptive verbs to denote action – 'John run the street', for example become 'John did running the down the street' in which 'running down the street' is regarded as a state in which John happened to be, rather than an action he choose to perform. Heraclitus 's “all things flow' is almost unrecognizable as sarvam anityam 'all existences are impermanent'. Man in this philosophy is like a toy with a key in its back which sets him in motion from without, unlike the Biblical man who is set in motion from within, by his free will.
The Darwinian Machine
“Love it or hate it, phenomena like this (DNA) exhibit the heart of the power of the Darwinian idea. An impersonal, unreflective, robotic mindless little scrap of molecular machinery is the ultimate basis of all agency, and hence meaning, and hence consciousness, in the universe.(Daniel Dennet)
Scientific research accustoms people to think in determinist categories because it proceeds as if each event has a cause that fully determines it. The man is all matter and his actions completely determined by events over which he has no control, we may ask wherein lies his uniqueness. The obvious answer to that question comes from another product of the Enlightenment, French physician Julien La Mettrie, who wrote a book in 1748 entitled Man the Machine. He argued that human beings were small machines connected to the large machine we call nature. At death those small machines stop and distintegrate. “Mechanics is the paradise of mathematical sciences, for by it means one comes to the fruit of mathematics” in useful work. (L. da Vinci)
In so far as religion assumes the world to be directed by conscious agents who may be turned from their purpose by persuasion, it stands in fundamental antagonism to magic as well as science, both of which take for granted that the course of nature is determined not by passions or caprices of personal beings, but by the operation of immutable laws acting mechanically, like the Greek tyche (fate). You cannot pray to Natural Laws as you cannot to pray to your PC to act differently. And that's why Science will never satisfy the human spirit.
It should be reminded here that Newton, originally, called his calculus fluxions. This idea of flow borrowed from Heraclitus's philosophy inspired by the Buddhist idea of impermanence was to express variable, inconstant subject of his astronomical researches.
Vedic Astrology is called “Jyotish” in Sanskrit Jyoti = Light + Isha=Lord = “Lords of Light” or “Science of Light” i.e. Heliocentrism. Jyotish i.e. Astrology was considered the most important part of the Vedas. In Hindu Pantheism the universe is evolving from the central Sun, the POINT (puru, like that of Big Bang), the ever-concealed germ. The central Sun is Deity – the World Soul. It is also the Chakra or circle of Vishnu.
The sun placed on the chest of St. Thomas Aquinas by Fra Angelico in his portrait of the Doctor Angelicus expresses the same idea which Rhetikus formulated in words in his Narratio. The astrological correspondence between the sun and the human heart was always present in Greek language in which the noun nous has double meaning: sun and heart. Accordingly, the astrologers Vettius, Valens, Rhetorius, Proclus referred to sun as φώς νοέρόν (intelligent light which may produce intelligent design).
In the rare treatise The Secret Symbols of The Rosicrucians, Franz Hartmann defines the sun alchemically as: "The symbol of Wisdom. The Centre of Power or Heart of things. The Sun is a centre of energy and a storehouse of power. Each living being contains within itself a centre of life, which may grow to be a sun in the heart of the regenerated, the divine power, stimulated by the Light of the Logos, grows into a Sun which illuminates his mind." In a note, the same author amplifies his description by adding: "The terrestrial sun is the image or reflection of the invisible celestial sun; the former is in the realm of Spirit what the latter is in the realm of Matter; but the latter receives its power from the former."
In the 17th century French representation of the chakras, human body is viewed as a reduced solar system in which heart (nous) corresponds with the sun (nous). In Descartes’s philosophy heart is a hot vessel, kind of ionization chamber setting in circular motion (Cp. Bohr’s model of the atom) electrons and ions within the nervous system to originate a thought within the brain. Tantric Buddhists (Tibetans) use practices known as chandali to let energy rise through the chakras to help towards enlightenment symbolized by aureola around the head. Swastika on the Buddha's chest stands for the sun.
Interestingly the term “Magisterium” denoting the teaching of the Catholic Church also means “philosopher’s stone.” Following the tradition of Aristotle who was raised by Th. Aquinas to the rank of a Church Doctor the medieval alchemist believed that man’s body, like all other material things, was composed of four elements, earth, air, fire and water. Each individual had his own particular mixture of these – his temperamentum, as they called it. This was determined at conception and birth by the influence of the constellations and planets. The aptitudes, weaknesses and chances of success or failure of each human being sprang from his elemental composition. Since no one had been properly mixed since Adam, the problem emerged of discovering some sovereign remedy – secretum maximum – which would cleanse and rectify man’s composition and so produce a superman, full of physical and mental vigor and enjoying a life prolonged through many joyous centuries. Hence the persistent search for the Elixir, or philosopher’s stone, which should produce these marvelous results, as well as transform the baser metals into gold, which, in ancient Egypt, was known to be the flesh of the sun.
The god who brought his people out of Egypt was to be celebrated in the Hebrew Bible as the God of History. Only when the children of Israel lapsed into idolatry – gave themselves to the worship of Baal, or sun god – that they turned rather to God of Nature, glorifying the forces of the physical universe and the fertility of the earth. In its idolatry, Israel, like the modern admirers of heliocentrism rejected the Mosaic insight that there is one God, the God of both nature and history. Turning away from the biblical emphasis on the distinction between man and nature, modern scientists are attracted by Eastern mysticism, which views man as a part of nature. They assume that a rigid culture exists in natural history just as electricity or gravitation exists, and that it is capable of analysis in much the same way. Their error plunges man into complete irrationality, because mind, reason, will, thought, and knowledge can have no ontological existence in such a world. They are mere shadows of the only world that exists (Shakespeare: “we are such stuff as the dreams are made of”), the world of matter. Everything that distinguishes man from nature disappears in this outlook, and that can only mean that man himself disappears. The triumph of heliocentrism presumed in John Paul II's rehabilitation of Galileo means the abolition of man. The Bolshevik philosophy was the most consequent exposition of homo heliocentricus. For the Soviet believers in Lenin’s philosophy man definitely lacked free-will, and appeared in every moment and every act to be bound, subject to, and determined by, fixed laws. ”, A. Gastev had discovered the basic law of movement: all movements, in his theory, could be traced back top two archetypes, an “up” and a “down”. This principle of organization was extended to all physiological elements, and thus a “rhythmic rotation of work” was produced, which not only completely did away with all disturbing caprices and eccentricities of the nerves and the soul, but removed all constitutional mental obstacles. The machine man (L’homme machine of Le Mettrie) was produced – and guaranteed to function properly. In the 1630s, Descartes visited the royal gardens at Versailles, which were known for their intricate automata. When water was made to flow, music sounded, sea nymphs began to play, and a giant Neptune, complete with trident, advanced menacingly. Whether the idea was in his mind before this visit or not, Descartes philosophy, which he supported with his mathematics, proclaimed that the universe and all of the things in it were automata. It was Galileo who, following the Middle Ages Scholastic Philosophy, first quantified the physical world. He measured the motion, frequency, velocity, and duration of everything from falling stones to swinging pendulums. It was Rene Descartes who developed many of the fundamental techniques of modern mathematics and gave us the picture of the universe as a Great Machine. It was Isaac Newton who formulated the mathematical laws by which the Great Machine runs. Galileo asserted that “Nature is written in the language of mathematics,” and this dogma explains the title of Newton’s book “Philosophiae Naturae Principia Mathematica.” In Maiakovski’s poem Left March describing “the religion of action” the “soul becomes steam, compressed air, electricity” and moves the body in a heliocentric “rhythmic rotation of work”.
Biblical Medicine vs. Heliocentric Cardiology
The event that caused the title “father of modern biology” to be bestowed upon William Harvey was his discovery, in the early 1600s, that the ordinary engineering principles that govern the pumping and flow of liquids are capable of accounting for the functions performed by the heart, an organ that had previously been thought to belong in the realm of unknowable.
In Thomas Digges's translation of The Revolutions the sun is “like the king in the middest of al who reigneth and geeveth lawes of motion to ye rest.” In this translation the sun stands for abstract Nature, or the essential inherent force formed by the assumption of a single prima cause. In the world of Prime Mover character of man is produced by “gym rooms”. This was also the doctrine of the English public schools in spite of the fact that human actions are not simply bodily movements. Natural man was a child of natural philosophy according to the dogma of natural selection.
According to Encyclopedia Americana W. Harvey whose description of the circulation of blood through the body established the first principle of modern physiology and medicine, was a staunch follower of Aristotle and adopted his basic vitalism. His views on the circulation of the blood reflect the Aristotelian theories of the central, sunlike, monarchical role of the heart. In other words, Harvey viewed human heart as the Aristotelian prime mover and thus promoted mechanistic thinking in biology. And although the concept of the heart as a pump is absent from Harvey’s great work Anatomical exercises concerning the motion of the heart and blood in animals, the idea does occur in a set of his lecture notes on anatomy. The child's heart beats about 120 times a minute. The heart of a 7-year-old child beats about 90 times a minute. An adult's heart beats about 70 times a minute. Was that the message of the sun on the chest of St. Thomas Aquinas? It remains to be explained yet how the sun could affect these changes.
In the Physical Body only one organ is dominant – the Heart (St. Thomas Aquinas)
In the same way as a spider in in the centre of the web holds its in its feet all the beginnings of the threads, in order to feel by close contact if an insect strikes the web, and where, so does the ruling part of the soul, situated in the middle of the heart, check on the beginnings of the senses in order to perceive their messages from close proximity. (Chalcidius ad Timaeum)
We have two competing views on human life: “The life of all flesh is the blood thereof” (Lev 17:14; Dt. 12:33) and Bushnell’s view that “The life of man is his heart” which was inspired by the Harvey doctrine of the heart. It is easy to prove the superiority of the Biblical insight into functioning of human body. We influence the composition of our blood in two ways: by inhaling the mixture of gases called air and by taking in our daily foods. You'll grasp the paramount import of the Biblical dietary laws while reflecting on a simple case of one of diseases caused by an acute deficiency in the amount of glucose in the blood. Hypoglycemia which causes nervous syndromes such as psychasthenia, neurasthenia, muscular asthenia, migraine, petit mal, narcolepsy, epilepsy, and psychosis can be cured very fast and easily by observing a simple diet. We can slow down or speed up movements of our hearts by taking various foods or drugs. Cardiovascular dynamics was a major focus of German doctor Ludwig's research. The isolated frog heart came into use as a basic model after Ludwig discovered, in 1856, that it could be revived and kept beating by perfusion of the coronary arteries with defibrinated blood. (John Galbraith Simmons, Doctors and Discoveries. Lives That Created Today's Medicine Boston (2002). Fibrin is strongly elastic protein formed when blood clots. Too high level of cholesterol of Benedict XVI's blood induced his personal physician to prescribe for His Holiness kosher dainties.
Thyroid Hormones at Work
When the body requires more thyroid hormones, the gland secrets T4 into the blloodstrem, and from there the T4 and its derivatives can affect all body cells.
Just as accelerator controls the speed of a car's engine, thyroid hormones regulate the rate of the body's metabolism – chemical activity in cells produces energy and new tissue. Thus thyroid hormones promote normal tissue growth and repair, affect cardiac rate, and maintain the production of energy for muscles and body heat.
In the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid hormones sped up the secretion of digestive juices and also increase the rhythmic waves of muscular contractions (peristalsis). Thus, too much thyroid hormone can cause frequent bowel movements, and too little, constipation.
Hyperthyroidism, Excessive agitation, unexplained weight loss, rapid heartbeat, increase in bowel movements, irregular menstrual periods, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, protruding eyeballs, muscular weakness, insomnia, and thin brittle hair.
In Acts 7:22 we read:
“And Moses was educated in all the science and learning of the Egyptians.” This verse had had convinced the British researcher Gerald Massey that the five books of Moses represented Egyptian astronomical allegories which had been literalized, historicized and humanized. The Book of Exodus especially seemed to abound with Egyptian astronomical types that were recreated to form Jewish “history”. As he stated:
The Hebrew Books of the Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, and Judges are invaluable as a virgin mine of mythology; they are of utmost importance as an aid in recovering the primeval types of Egyptian thought…For the Hebrews, who collected and preserved so much, have explained nothing. There is evidence enough to prove the types are Egyptian and the people who brought them out of Egypt must have been more or less Egyptian in race, and of a religion that was Egyptian of the earliest and oldest kind. Undoubtedly there is some very slight historic nucleus in the Hebrew narrative, but it has been so mixed with myth that it is far easier to recover the celestial allegory with the aid of its correlatives than it is to restore the human history.”
Nothing farther from the truth. The first commandment the Jews were given as a people is the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon: “And God said to Moses...in the land of Egypt ... This month is for you, the head of the months. First it is for you among the months of the year.” - Ex 12:1-2
This is a strange first commandment. You'd think the development of the calendar would only come after the establishment of the basic fundamentals like the Ten Commandments. And yet the Torah considers the process of establishing the new month as a major breakthrough in creating a nation. And what was wrong with the solar calendar that everyone else had been using? What is the significance of basing the Jewish calendar on the moon?
Whereas the sun is the symbol of unchanging nature, rising in the east, setting in the west, day in and day out every day of the year, the moon changes and it seems to be telling us something. And her message thwarts all matematical calculations. The moon is mathematically unpredictable. By commandment of the New Moon which meant the rejection of Egyptian mathematical and godless science Moses consolidated his nation. The rejection of the astrological lore of the Egyptian priests which centered around the sun god made it possible for Moses to reject the Egyptian dregs pharmacy and to proclaim God's dietary laws. Moses answered the question, what is more important 'heart' or blood' by pointing to the fact, that we influence the composition of our blood by taking our daily foods. And that was the most revolutionary idea in the history of medicine and of the human Knowledge for that matter. For instance, the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels forms plaques which may eventually restrict the flow of blood (The term derives from Greek chole, bile + stereos solid, stiff). The cholesterol is contained in all in bile, nervous tissues, blood. The Bible forbids eating the blood which is removed from kosher foods. The Jews don't eat blood-dripping steaks.
Well, ancient Egyptian prescriptions hovered between medicine & magic, and relief for their effectiveness in great part on the repulsiveness of the concoction. Lizard's blood, swine's ears and teeth, putrid meat and fat, a tortoise's brains, an old book boiled in oil, the milk of a lying-in woman, the water of a chaste woman, the excreta of men (sodomy can be considered a healing act in this medicine) , donkeys, dogs, lions, cats, and lice – all these are found in the prescriptions. (Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage, p. 183). Where did G. Massey find that in the Bible?
Is the Bible trustworthy? R. Virchow, known as the Father of Modern Pathology, said: “Moses was the greatest hygienist, the world has seen. Depending upon revealed knowledge and possessing no scientific equipment, Moses taught in essentials nearly every principle of hygiene now practiced. Moses forbade the use of both swine’s and shellfish; and it may be pertinent to remark that the Gentile world which largely ignores these health rules, shows an estimated occurrence of trichina infections among adults in the US of an alarmingly high percent! Hogs like buzzards and vultures are scavengers created by God to eat up the rotten flesh of things dead. Strychnine will not kill them, but it will kill people. So would you place the authority of Father N. Copernicus, the Vatican’s playboy, whose brother, a high-ranking curialist died of syphilis, over that of the Holy Bible? It might mean the choice of life or death. Like for those British cows that were fed scientifically, according to the rules of Darwinian biology. The British cattle were almost exterminated by the Darwinian Science!
The Story of the Golden Calf undermines the main idea of the hypothesis of Big Bang inspired by the mythology of the gods of fire.
Moses Thrashes Big Bang
The Vedic god Surya was a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun. So, Moses took the calf, which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the people of Israel drink it. (Ex. 32:20). Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do unto thee, that you hast brought a great sin upon them?”
Moses posed a direct question to the high priest, who led the people astray in their wickedness. It is written: thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil (Ex. 23:2). Here, Aaron has immediately done exactly that. Note Aaron’s response:
“And Aaron said, 'Let not the anger of my lord burn hot; you know the people, that they are set on evil. 23 For they said to me, `Make us gods, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' 24 And I said to them, `Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." (RSV Exodus 32:22-24 22) Why gold? Well, Egypt was rich in gold, which was valued for its beauty and because it was believed to be of the flesh of the sun god. So this calf came out of the fire exactly like Daniel's Bar Elahin came out of the fiery furnace, because m=E/c². Apollo was called Eleleus because he orbited in a collected mass of fire. The first principle alternately creates the world from itself and again itself from the world, and all things, Heraclitus says, are an exchange for fire, and fire for all things, as goods are for gold and gold for goods.” (Plutarch, On the E at Delphi 388DE). Christianity regards Daniel as a saint and as prophet. Judaism considers the Book of Daniel a part of its canon, but does not regard Daniel as a prophet.
Evolving Bull
In later Jewish folklore the Biblical story was supplemented with remark that the “calf was walking by itself and grazing in the pasture.” (See, Pirqei deRabbi Eliezer 25: “Satan entered it and mooed in order to misled Israel.”).. As a result of its relentless evolution the golden calf mutated to a Moses of the British Israelites, aka John Bull wearing Union Jack with the Babylonian solar cross on his chest.
Encyclopedia Britannica calls Moses “This former stammering murderer”* because he dared to kill a sadistic slave master thus preventing a senseless murder of a helpless human being. But can a slave be considered a human being in the context of Malthus's Essay on Population?
The Elizabethan poor laws of the 1580s treated the able-bodied poor as prisoners in workhouses and gave the rest starvation-level aid (the royal welfare, or the royal euthanasia). The labor market meant that the costs and restraints that serfdom imposed on the lord could be rudely jettisoned. Now the landlord could just hire workers in exchange for cash. As the villagers grew older and less capable of hard labor, the lord would not renew their contracts and would turn them loose on the highways, and into the town and forests. The towns restricted immigration. In the forests, if the peasants were not too old they could join groups, such as the one headed by Robin.
Referring to famine as a check on population, Bishop Malthus wrote in the following incredibly sincere passage from the revised sixth Edition of his Essay on the Principle of Population. 16th edition (1862):
“...We should facilitate, instead of impede, the operations of nature in producing this mortality; and if we dread the frequent visitation of the horrid form of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction which we compel nature to use. Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits.” They are nothing but riff-raff.

Pavel Seifter, Director of Foreign Policy Department wrote to me on August 22, 1994 on behalf of Vaclav Havel, President of Czech Republic:
“President Havel would agree with you that, in this rapidly changing and transforming era, it is necessary to find some basic values which can bring greater security and meaning to life. He has often warned of the danger of those who think of man as the center of the universe, thus separating humans from the world around us and making it appear that we have no one to whom we answer. Because of such philosophies, the former regimes throughout the region left behind environments that were deeply damaged and societies that were badly shaken. The search for a new set of values which can form the basis of strong and healthy democracies here and around the world is one of the great challenges of the modern era. The President supports those, like you, who are engaged in this important task. He joins me in wishing you all the best. Please accept also the assurances of my highest regards.”

1.Roman Pytel just blew my mind.
1.Thank you, Roman Pytel. Interesting.
1.“My question: Do you believe, like Copernicus, that the sun is a god? Can you remove this religious belief from his book without destroying the logic of the Renaissance religious revolution as reflected in The Revolutions?”
That’s an excellent question, Roman. Let’s see how the moonbats worm their way out of THAT one!
By the way, I think you’ve written one of the most useful, cogent, and intelligent comments in this entire thread (Blog4Brownback). I don’t agree with everything you’ve said, but the overall trend of your analysis is complete and utter genius. With your permission, I’ll quote it in its entirety in a separate post.
