There is a disturbing pattern here. The Masonic connection is breathtaking.

L. Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley

Islam, Scientology, and Mormonism have similar beginnings.

It is a well documented fact that the religion of Hubbard was Satanism. Hubbard's mentor was, in fact, the infamous English black magician Aleister Crowley. Hubbard reportedly discovered Crowley's works as a teenager on a trip to the Library of Congress with his mother. Thereafter, Hunnard was fascinated by Crowley's "Magick," and Crowley became Hubbard's mentor, a relationship that would last until Crowley's death in 1947. In one of his later lectures, Hubbard would refer to Crowley as "my good friend." [Miller, p. 135]... Islam, Scientology, Mormonisn and Jehovah Witnesses all reject the Gospel of Jesus -- and therefore these push their members away from the true road to salvation. Jews also reject this. But as Paul says--Jews have been supernaturally blinded.

Aleister Crowley Was A 33 Degree Mason

Why Did Joseph Smith Became a Mason?

I don't have the complete ping list - just you folks. If any of you wish to share this, please do so.

Masonic Symbols and the LDS Temple By Sandra Tanner

It is also obvious that the Nauvoo Temple architecture was in part, at least Masonically influenced. Indeed, it appears that there was an intentional attempt to utilize Masonic symbols and motifs. The sun stones, and the moon and star stones, were examples. An additional example was the angel used on the weather vane on the top of the Temple. [Above the angel] is a beautiful compass and square, in the typical Masonic fashion." (Joseph Smith and Masonry: No Help for the Widow's Son, p.18)

Thanks.

Earth is part of space, so I guess so.

First I laughed then was saddened by this sham.

Somehow I can't take the conflict between Divine Creation and Evolution seriously, but then I've never liked an "either/or" approach when a "both/and" one will do quite well.

For God to plant us on earth through meteorites seems to be about as good a plan as any other.

It's kinda like Henry Miller said: “To enter life by way of the vagina is as good a way as any.”

What I do find inscrutable--especially considering the infinity and chaos of the cosmos--is the hubritic dismissal of God's presence.

Yep. Building DNA and RNA by random chance using uracil and xanthine as precursors would be a snap. /s

By the way, may favorite morning drink contains 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (more commonly known as caffeine).

[TigersEye]

LOL I was wondering if anybody would latch on to that.

I should have said our bodies are star dust. Which would be true whether we get molecules from meteorites or not.

[TigersEye]

The sun stones, and the moon and star stones, were examples.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun, ...

Somehow I can't take the conflict between Divine Creation and Evolution seriously, but then I've never liked an "either/or" approach when a "both/and" one will do quite well.

I'll preface this by disclosing I'm an atheist (no, I don't deny the existence of any 'higher power', but I don't believe there is evidence for one, either).

Even for those of you who believe in a creator God, by thinking that the universe, and the observable conditions on this planet could not have come about by randomness, how does that get you to the next step? In other words, once you come to the conclusion that there was an intelligent design for this whole complexity of life, how does that help anybody make their choices about what sets of ancient writings to believe, or what sets of rules about what you may eat, drink, or utitilize your sexual functions, or who gets to tell you what organization to donate X percentage of your income to?

I just don't see where the creator-entity also laid down rules to define the above. To me, it looks like the rule-makers simply define their rules as correct by reference to the idea that most people cannot imagine a world or a universe developing on its own, without any starting intelligence, or without any sustaining intervention by that intelligence. They exploit people's inability to grasp science as the means of keeping up old power structures.

...you are never going to play poker for an evening and draw nothing BUT royal straight flushes.

Sorry, that's not a basic law of probability, but okay, I hear what you're saying.

However, if we repeat the experiment a hundred trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion times (which may be pretty close to the number of times it gets repeated in the universe), we could get anywhere from a few successes to lots and lots and lots of successes, correct?

We just don't know what the probabilities are yet and so aren't in the position to calculate that estimate. But it's a mistake to think any basic laws of mathematics forbid it successfully happening trillions of times out there in deep space. We just need a lot more data and a better understanding of exactly how it happens.

Don’t these folks have anything better to do than to second-guess God?

Boy. Are THEY ever in for a shock! I’d like to be a fly on the wall when Al Gore, Michael Moore, George Soros and all their cronies Cross Over. I think their worst punishment will be for misleading so many people.

Panic-mongers must have a special place.

One success would be all that's necessary wouldn't it?

There are those who believe that life began out there..
