WHOAAAA there ....

There might be concepts, crucial to a full understanding of physical reality, that we aren't aware of, any more than a monkey comprehends Darwinism

So... if a monkey can't comprehend Darwinism.... and Darwinism contends that man evolved from monkeys... then the transitive property would have that man can't comprehend Darwinism, making the entire Theory of Evolution suspect .... I KNEW IT!!!!


LOL....told you all it was worth a little investment of grey matter.....love this kind of stuff :)

Here's a very interesting lecture on the gnostic gospels (DaVinci Code) vs New Testament writtings. I also found one by Dr John Ankerberg who is or was probably the premiminant scholar ...

Have read a lot about these gospels, interesting stuff.  Thanks!

Ran across this article and found it particularly insightful....thought you all might enjoy it....it's a bit long but, IMO, worth the investment of a little time and grey matter.

What was found had already been known. The fragments found were written in Greek.

The Gnostics denied the deity of Christ ...

They found what is thought to be the original material written in its original Greek composition.  What they had up to this point were translated copies from the original Greek....that's what makes the discovery noteworthy.  What the Gnostic believe or don't believe really isn't relevant from an Archaeological perspective.

It is heretical ... Gnostic gospels were all written after the forth century and are easily outside accepted canon of scripture.

That may be but doesn't negate the archaeological value of the find....many of the canonized books weren't written down for many years after the events so anything that is unearthed today that sheds light on ancient events and views is worth examining.

I think it is becoming more and more evident that our so called intelligence services have become just as corrupt as the rest of DC...

on the motorcycle topic... spent last week in Manhattan Beach and was lanesplit by a guy on a Zero...  scared the S outta me...  I have NOTHING against lanesplitting but doing so a motorcycle that makes virtually no sound is nuts...  came out of nowhere...  interesting looking bike though... gotta be a great commuter.

I don't lane split too often on my bike, she's a little big to be slipping between cars :)  BUT she let's you know she's there with a nice rumble :0
I wouldn't get a bike that's quiet like that..  Big and loud is the best bike, so people know you are around.

Can't open but I know the labor of love involved especially for in Indian.

My son brought one back from Wichita for his business partner about five years ago. His business partner has every 1972 Triumph Model restored to show room condition. Quite a collection.

Was working fine yesterday....not sure what account I need to update to get the pics to start showing again, here or at photobucket.  Hmmm

Things seem to be heating up.....

"Court papers unsealed Monday revealed an indictment against Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and a guilty plea by another adviser, who admitted to lying to the FBI about meetings with Russian intermediaries."

What they are getting those guys for was prior to Trump campaign if what I've seen on the news is factual....the big story is going to be the Clinton collusion with the Russians....they got 145 million to their foundation and Bill got big speaking fees.....that and the Fusion GPS payments from the Clinton campaign and DNC.....nothing in all of this, from any source, has Trump involved with the Russians at all....Mueller and his team, the more that is coming about them, makes them suspect as well....like why did Mueller's FBI ignore the Uranium One deal when they KNEW and HAD EVIDENCE that there were big problems going on?  This isn't over by a long shot....

Got our Indian Roadmaster in late Frebruary and been working on her little by little ever since.  She's got custom headers, exhaust, air intake, seat/upholstery, 19" front rim/tire, and a bunch of other little mods/bolt-ons.  I'M DONE, LOL...thought you all might like to see her.  Sorry for the crappy picture, I'm not a very good photographer

My son found that in Arkansas while on a business trip to Office in Ocheleta, OK. One of his employees told him about it, they took a short trip and he bought it. It had been sitting in the shop in Eakly, OK for about four years and just able to bring it out when he bought the enclosed race car trailer. It is undergoing total restoration. My son is probably gonna use it as a daily driver.

My Avitar is his body off total restoration very rare '74 Porsche 914 S ... NOT 2.0 ... 2.0 came after dealers bitch that 914 S were eating 911 S sales ...

Seats and interior are done by the guy that does all Leno's work
