Report links rising childlessness to abortion amid record-low fertility in England, Wales

Many women in England and Wales who have abortions in their 20s may end up childless in their 40s, according to key research by a pro-life activist and former employee of Marie Stopes International.

A report issued by Catholic independent public health consultant Kevin Duffy titled “Abortion and Childlessness” shows that many women who have abortions in their 20s may be faced with the real risk of remaining childless at 45. However, Duffy states that this risk is rarely, if ever, highlighted by abortion providers to those considering abortion.

Duffy’s projections in the report suggest that, by 2045, as many as 1 in 4 women may reach the age of 45 having not given birth to any children, with abortion given as a major factor in about half of these cases.

While Duffy does not suggest abortion causes infertility, his data shows that if an abortion leaves a woman childless at 30, she may find herself in a situation where timing pressures and a natural decline in fertility become major factors, leading to a 50/50 chance she will still be childless at 45.

Why Zohran Mamdani won and New York will pay a terrible price

That's my point. Cops don't always HAVE TO be involved with a "mentally sick" person first.


You may be surprised to learn that just because someone is having a psychotic episode does not mean they will be arrested.


The bitter irony of this is off the chart. To call Floyd's arrest "de-regure" is not offensive so much as stupid. There has been no indication from any police body that having his knee on his neck was necessary. The mere fact that you are totally unaware of the rules of engagement around force for police officers is clear that you have no idea what you're arguing, talking about, or even viewing on TV.


If you're not going to address my point and just keep repeating what you've already said you're not a part of a "discussion".
Cops have to detain a person before they can determine if the person needs psychological help or not. Cops
are trained on how to handle mentally ill people, whether you believe it or not.

As someone who studied self-defense, the move the cop put on George Floyd was a move taught in my
self-defense class, where we had prison guards and cops as students. Only 30% of the cop's weight was on Floyd's
neck, the other 70% was on the leg that was on the ground. The one cop who testified saying she was not
taught that in the academy, now admits she lied, it was taught. The stupidity comes from those who are not trained
but only saw the video. Also, the autopsy report showed that Floyd had large amounts of drugs in his system;


Anti-police sentiment is at play here.

Digital ID

What are the churches saying about Digital ID, the mark of the beast, transhumanism etc?

My church is silent on these things so I intend to ask them what their views are and how we are to guard against all of what is likely to come as a result of the pursuit of the above.

It would be good to know if any churches are assisting and how?
Hi Chubby,

This is what I believe based on Scriptures.

We are told the mark of the beast is the battle over worship.

A beast is a kingdom or government Dan7:23

Rev 13:2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

Rev 13: 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The mark of the beast is only something this government that has great authority can tell you what their mark is. They have actually already done so.


Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” (Exo20:11)

8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

So the end time final war will be over worship. We are told whoever we obey is who we serve (or worship) Rom6:16

Jesus defined false worship as

Mark7:7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men

We are told this beast or government system changes God's times and laws.

Dan 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute[j] the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.

False worship is elevating mans traditions over the commandments of God and Jesus was quoting from the Ten Commandments, God's own written and spoken Testimony Exo31:18

This beast system changed God's times and laws based on their authority which there is only one law that is both a time (every seventh day Exo20:10) and law (4th commandments Exo20:8-11) and we have a clear history of it being changed not by God that most the world has followed (wondered after)

The mark is not going to be a literal mark but they could enforce a literal mark through buying and selling if we do not follow their authority over God's. The mark is something only God will see because He will also mark/seal His people Isa8:16Eze20:20 and this group of people will be faithful to God and His commandments and we see clearly these two groups in Rev14:11-12

Questions and Answers

this is the same as saying works are necessary for your faith to be true.

Would you agree with that?
No. Otherwise, we could say that the faith of the thief on the cross was not true. You are trying to say that works are necessary for salvation and that contradicts many scriptures. You need to ask God for wisdom because you are wrong about almost everything (James 1:5-7). If someone is saved and they have the opportunity to do the good works that God prepares for people to do AFTER they become saved (Ephesians 2:8-10), then if their faith is genuine, they will obey God and do those works. Having genuine faith means you are willing to serve God and isn't just mental assent. But, to be so wooden about it like you are would mean that someone like the thief on the cross was not saved. We are saved by grace through faith and NOT by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). What don't you understand about that?

Trans-identified TSA officer sues DHS over female pat down ban

A trans-identified TSA officer has filed a lawsuit accusing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of discrimination over its policy prohibiting men from patting down women at security checkpoints.

A man who goes by the name Danielle Mittereder, and works as a TSA officer at Dulles International Airport in Virginia, filed a lawsuit on Nov. 7 at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is named as a defendant in the suit that alleges TSA’s policy discriminates against Mittereder “on the basis of sex,” in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Best Possible Uses for AI Imagiable

Networking AI's..!

Say I have $30,000 in the bank, and I ask my AI to help be start a business producing and marketing steering wheel covers. Now my AI asks me what I want them to look and feel like, and does every aspect of the business, from production to sales, by communicating with other AI systems to produce the best product, with a projected high yield profit for me. I literally do nothing, except imagine my product. It does all the work, and I make enough money to start my next project, whatever that is.

I now make money using my imagination.
AI can't do some necessary work for you. It is limited, as its available databases are also limited. No doubt at times there may be wrong information in the web, and AI might give you a bum steer. Choice of words might be critical for AI giving you the "right answer." Therefore you have to have some sense of what the "right answer" might be (or the "good advice") before you can reasonably accept it without blind faith.

I got investment advice of a list of questions to ask about specific options, asking for the best overnight investment. The instructor showed that he used 4 AI engines, in which he recommended 2 of them for success. In those 2 AI engines, he won profit overnight. So I tried the exact same procedure on the 2 recommended AI engines (ChatGPT 5 and Grok 4.1, and I added MS Copilot), on 3 trades I won one and lost two. It proved to me it's basically a "crap shoot" or "coin toss," IOW, a gamble.

I regularly query it for medical advice, since I am retired and ailing. Sometimes I believe the answer is good, but most of the time, after asking all related questions I think of, I end up trashing the info. It may be near the same thing as a doctor's advice, because doctors give advice based on statistical evidence - 70% responded this way, 85% responded to that medicine, etc. So that's what they will prescribe, but it doesn't necessarily apply to you, since everyone's body chemistry is unique. AI is simply passing along statistical probabilities.

Sometimes you roll a 7, and sometimes snake-eyes. I use AI as a tool for possible solutions, but I don't rely on it.

Trump strikes friendly tone with NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani in Oval Office: 'We agreed a lot'

President Donald Trump and Democratic New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani struck a conciliatory tone during a Friday meeting at the White House, stressing their shared concern for New Yorkers and their skyrocketing cost of living.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old self-described democratic socialist fresh off an upstart victory, echoed Trump's assertion that, despite their differences, the two found common ground about the city's affordability crisis.

Following a roughly 30-minute private meeting in the Oval Office, the two fielded questions from the press, with Trump downplaying the harsh rhetoric they hurled at each other during the mayoral campaign.

"We agreed a lot more than I would have thought," Trump said of their meeting, which they noted focused on populist issues affecting the average person in the city.

Is the Bible inerrant?

"19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit."
Ephesians 2 NIV

So, the Bible is not the foundation, according to the Bible.

"Schooling involved doctrinal summaries. Much like memory verses today, they presented the core of the faith, not with the detail of the creeds that emerged after the Council of Nicaea, but with enough content to delineate the most central ideas about God, Jesus, and forgiveness through Jesus' death. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6, Romans 1:2-4, and 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 reveal this early church schooling. Singing involved hymns. Philippians 2:5-11 and Colossians 1:15-20 show how much theology was contained in what the earliest church sang. Sacraments involved the teaching presented at baptism and Communion. Here one can think of the words spoken over the Lord's Table (“On the night he was betrayed Jesus took the bread … This is for you”) or the picture of baptism summarized in Romans 6:2–4, which proclaims that Christ has put the old life to death and given new life.

Here is orthodoxy, rooted in the acts of worship that took place each week before the New Testament canon appeared. The church could know its roots because the apostolic teaching showed up in worship."
https://christianhistoryinstitute.org/magazine/article/roots-matter
Yes, I mistyped when I said it was the foundation because what I meant to say it was the foundation AFTER Jesus' time on earth for those who were not privileged enough to be there when He was.

So, in simple terms, are you agreeing that scripture is required for believers or are you not agreeing? I'm confused because you quote a lot of scripture but seem to contradict its place with your last statement.

Thanks!

the myth of flat earth debunked again

In regards to airplane windows, they are all convex, much like the lens on a go pro camera. In other words, you are looking out a curved window, not at a curved earth.
Airplane windows are not convex. They are curved to match the fuselage. They don’t distort the view. Also pilot’s windows are like any other windshield glass but much stronger. All passengers and pilots can clearly see the curvature of the earth at cruising altitude. Not to mention the fact that airplane routes can take them from the west side of Africa to the east side of South America by flying over the Pacific Ocean. How could that be possible if the earth is flat?

Ships don't disappear over the curvature of the earth, they advance beyond your visual perspective. Have you ever been on a long narrow highway lined with telephone poles on both sides? Look ahead or behind, the poles will grow closer together and closer to the ground from your perspective. Drive down the road a mile and those same poles will be at the same height and distance from one another as you originally perceived them. Aim a camera with a telescopic lens at the ship you watched disappear beyond the horizon, magnify the zoom and it will return to view.
That’s perspective. A ship will in fact disappear from bottom to top. Even if you use a telescopic lens the effect will be the same. That is how the ancient Greeks attained the knowledge of a spherical earth.
You plainly stated "the fact that the earth is a sphere is not up for debate". Then why may I ask are you debating it here? If you are convinced that your view of the cosmos is the correct one, and all other viewpoints are " absurd", then what is the point of further discussion?
Because it amazes me that someone would actually believe a flat earth when the earth has been scientifically and visually proven beyond any doubt to be a sphere. It’s even quite entertaining to see the disjointed and desperate arguments. You have fallen for falsehood. It’s sad really.
You mentioned that it was God who created a spherical earth. It was also God who created the first humans, Adam and Eve. He created them in His own image and placed them in the garden called Paradise. They were perfect and innocent and had the presence of God Himself with them regularly. And yet, these magnificent creatures who were blessed beyond measure, and created in the very image of Almighty God, were somehow deceived by nothing more than a few simple statements and suggestions.
Yes Satan deceived them. But we have Jesus now. We believers need to do like Michael the archangel and rebuke the devil in Jesus name. Many scientists are Christians and you are calling them liars.
We live in a fallen world, with fallen natures, not a paradise but a cesspool run by none other than Satan himself. Our enemies, the world and the devil, exist in complete opposition to everything that is holy and good and true. Our enemy the flesh is so easily tempted and corrupted that we must continually guard our hearts and minds against not only the world and the devil, but our own vain thoughts and imaginations. And yet, in light of these obvious spiritual realities, your average believer cannot even allow for the possibility that this evil and fallen world in which we live, just may be misrepresenting Gods creation, how such misrepresentations would obviously benefit them, or that ever falling victim to such a misrepresentation could ever be possible.
First, we are Christians. Christ died in the cross so that we would NOT be fallen creatures. Not the whole world is fallen and 99.9% of the world knows that we live in a spherical earth. No one is deceiving 99.9% of the world. You are not enlightened beyond any one else. Believing in a spherical world, as it actually is, is not a sin. Satan is looking to keep us in sin not to keep us from knowing scientific truth.
I have already asked, why are you here if there is nothing to debate?
I told you above. Your belief in a flat earth is like the carnival oddity.
Have you ever wondered why we are here? Do you think those of us who disagree with you come here because we enjoy the insults, being called idiots and wingnuts and repeatedly being accused of having no discernment or wisdom and many times even being told that we can't even possibly be true Christian believers etc etc? Are we masochists? Trolls? Enemies sent by the devil himself to stir up division? No to all of these.

I can't speak for anyone else, though I know enough people who share my views to confidently say, we are here because at some point in our lives we realized that this world is an empire of lies, ruled by none other than the father of lies, and that a great deal of what we have been told our entire lives served no other purpose than to distract and deceive us into accepting and believing even more lies which would eventually separate us from any knowledge of Almighty God, His creation, His divine purposes, and ultimately His very existence.
In other words tin foil hats and fingers in the ears. My friend I am a Christian saved by the blood of Christ and am also an engineer. I can unequivocally tell you that your belief is absolutely wrong.
That what you call science, and established facts have already had this effect is beyond dispute. The theory of evolution being a prime example. How many people will never believe in God based upon that one scientific theory alone, how many others raised in the faith have abandoned that faith because of the things they were taught as facts during the process of higher education? God only knows.
You really don’t give God enough credit. God already beat the devil. Christ already beat evil. No one can take His sheep out of His hands. No one. No theory of evolution, no scientific advances, nothing can take His sheep. In fact the more scientific advances happen the more it points to God’s creation.
We are here because at some point we realized that what we were told did not align with what we have observed. Do we claim to have all the answers, of course not. What we do have are a wealth insufficiently answered questions. And the God given ability to question those things which we can observably see as unsupported by the commonly accepted answers provided by the so called scientific community and generally accepted by the indoctrinated public at large.
And yet the indoctrinated one is you. Has it not occurred to you that you are the one that is wrong? Why are you, a sinful finite being, questioning the wonderful creation of an infinite omnipotent being? What makes you think that your belief gives you any special gnosis beyond what is observable and has been revealed? You have fallen with the false teachers and I exhort you to pray and realize the falsehood of your belief.
God bless you.
May God bless you and guide you as well.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

Then the same logic applies to your social media comments. Why should I or anyone care or take seriously someones coments on a social media platform.
Feel free to disregard them, if you want to. I'll keep pointing out your overinterpretations either way.
Once again the fixation on single words making the entire meaning. So if I find a word that means 'definite' then you are defeated. See how silly it is. Please read the word its context.
I did, have you yet read the 2018 simulation study? Or the new russian one?
But evenso. If we take your word meaning. This still means we should be treating the findings as correct until proven otherwise. They are the first step towards confirming a hypothesis. You don't then reject the findings out of hand as conspiracy as some are doing.
No, I'm not dismissing any findings that have been peer-reviewed have I?
I am pretty sure you said that there is no way the casing stones were cast.
Show it!
Or that the evidence in no ways shows this. Yet ehere we have preliminary findings that suggest we do. This is the kind of completel and extreme rejection that is not coming from science but persnal belief.
Show it!
Ok and in the mean time people should stop rejecting the preliminary findsings as conspiracy or psuedoscience.

Oh maybe the language that people used to completely reject those experiments as quackery or just not treat them as science at all as part of the process. The experiments of those who happen to find a different answer are rejected as qauckery simply because they contradict the orthodoxy.

The daily mail is saying the same thing as Phy.org science news who is saying the same thing as the scientists. They just put it in everyday language.
Read the article! They bombarded the theoretical model, no measurements was used in that article, the 2018 article is the one they refer to!
We have tests done in the Giza pyramid to determine the resonant frequency that is concentrated into the KIngs chamber. We have physical tests that show how certain stones and dimensions cause the Piezoelectric effects. This is fact. So modelled on a hypothetical structure is fact until proven wrong.

The Kings Chamber dimensions, which measure approximately 10.47 meters in length, 5.23 meters in width, and 5.81 meters in height, are also thought to have been chosen specifically to create a resonant frequency of around 117 Hz.

The precise frequency of 117 Hz has been identified through more modern methods, such as the use of sensitive microphones and spectrum analysers.

This is an explanation of planned experiments not a results, they reference that the resonance frequency has been measured to 117 Hz, but in this same post you say that it is 16.2 Hz.
I thought it was also the quartz in the stone and especially the granite was also what contributed to the resonance. Anyway other tests have shown this to be the vase. For example if you built the pyramid out of wood or plastic you will not get the same effect.

Ok, I am basing this on the material of the pyramid and stones. That certain material has a higher electromagnetic and piezoelectric effects that others. Either way it seems the pyramids have an effect on both.

Why, what the science already tells us.

So a case of replying straight to the quote rather than checking what it was referring to. As we have been talking about both issues I assumed lol.

Relevent to possible advanced knowledge and other ways the pyramids were used besides a tomb.

In 1952, Winfried Otto Schumann (1888-1974), a German professor of physics, discovered that resonating electromagnetic waves with a frequency of around 8 hertz could be measured in the Earth's atmosphere. This natural phenomenon is called the Schumann resonance frequency and mainly occurs when electricity discharges in the so-called 'closed waveguide' between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere. The predominant standing wave of this low frequency resonance effect has a frequency of 7.83 hertz.

Earth's resonance at Giza: The specific latitude of the Great Pyramid results in a fundamental Schumann resonance frequency of approximately
8.1 Hz. King's Chamber resonance: The King's Chamber was constructed to have a resonant frequency of 16.2 Hz which is the second harmonic (or octave) of the 8.1 Hz frequency.
Is the resonance frequency 117 Hz or 16.2 Hz? Would the quartz crystals even vibrate at 16.2 Hz? Has somebody even measured if they do? This should be easy enough to test. The resonance frequency of the quartz crystals themselves depend on their size but it normally in a few 10 kHz (in watches they are 33 kHz IIRC).
2. SIGNIFICANCE The significance of the study and its relevance to the wider field of archaeology and acoustics can be summarised by the discovery of archaeoacoustic frequency signatures in multiple locations in Upper and Lower Egypt. For space to be designed and built and present specific resonance it would be not only require highly detailed construction, but it also leads to a level of understanding of sound frequency beyond even our contemporary levels today.
As I said they are describing what they plan to do. They have found anything yet. Did you read even this?
I am pretty sure they said that now the findings from the reserach can be applied to nano tech. They learnt something from the simulations. Plus this is theorectical science and this is common in how theories are supported. Many hypothesis are based on theorectical tests that simulate the real thing. Its part of science.

Yes eventually and if we look at the history we will see proven ideas being rejected by the mainstream. Thats whats called a paradigm shift. It doesn't come easy and theres resistence. But eventually the evidence builds up that it can no longer be denied. That is exactly what all these investigations are doing.

Lol I am saying I am supporting this with the science. But you are denying it without the science at all. You can call the findings and words "maybe" and dismiss them. You can make a counter claim that its not proving anything.
What counterclaim?
But you never supply any scientific papers or even scientific articles published to9 counter this. Just your own opinion which you somehow have elevated to the status of peer review.
Absolutely not, I am just critical in how YOU interpret what you reference.
As though just making a counter claim on a social media site is good enough to refute the scientific articles from those who have actually done the tests and analysis. .
What counterclaim are you referring to?
Ok but other tests have and they also support that the granite chambers and the particular makeup of the stones have high quartz content makes it more conducive of resonance under certain conditions.

When we put the reserach together we not only have an entire object supporting a concentration of electromagnetic effects but the specific material used in the object also supporting the piezoelectric effects material.

Why. If some material holds a better piezoelectric effects like granite and there is granite used in specific ways then it stands to reason the materials are going to influence what effects are created overall. Especially within the granite parts of the pyramid.
Sure, but have any actually made those calculations and published them?
Acoustic testing in the granite chambers has been found and it magnifies from chamber to chamber. It is the resonance for the granite as it has a specific resonance.
The quartz crystals themselves have a resonance frequency, but the resonance frequency of the chambers are determined by their dimensions (that is where the claim of 117 Hz come from). Which resonance frequency are we talking about here?
You honestly believe that the piezoelectric effect has no influence on how the electromagnetic waves are scattered within the pyramid under certain conditions.
Has anybody measured it or even simulated it? The two articles you've presented so far haven't. Sure, it is not entirely out of the question, but are their not only a relatively few blocks of granite when compared to the limestone? My guess is that is why they did put the assumption of limestone in the model.
It is shown that due to the strong dispersion of the refractive index of the pyramid material, there will always be a part of the spectral range, in which the refractive index corresponds to the condition of electromagnetic wave localization (the photonic jet phenomenon).

Lets just work out what what has been found first. Electrical energy is one of the effects proposed. To what extent is the next step. But that forms of energy are being generated is enough for us to investigate further that the Egyptians may have harnessed this is some ways for practical applications.
Has anybody showed that any energy even is generated?
Its that you and skeptics don't even believe than anything was generated is the first problem let along that there may have been specific applications.

But we do have some indirect evidence signatures that point to messing around with chemistry and physics.

Ok so we don't need verification to know that crystal oscillators are capable of producing electro motive force when vibrated and Quartz is a naturally obtained crystal. The pyramids and works are full of this material. When used in specific ways they will produce certain effects.

The generation of electricity requires the pyramid to vibrate always. Hence the location at which the electromagnetic waves are more on the surface of the globe are chosen to be the perfect sites for the pyramid.
Do you have a reference for this?
The very shape of the pyramid is an amplified receiver or resonator of various kinds of energy fields.
I know that calculations shows that radio waves might be impacted. I don't know if it actually happens.
What about this is false. You do realise that there was a reference list to the science.

I should not have to. If they are refuting the science then it stands to reason that the science must be refuted with science epistemically. Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose and we are mixing social media opinions with the science.
No, your claim, you prove it.
Yes consistent and not inconsistent. Indeed consistent is defintely consistent with reconstituted limestone. If you want to play word games. Its as close as a scientists will get to saying abosutely the case.

Science just works that way where it never claims a truth. Its just consistent with observations and data. Thats as best as you will get for any science. Your playing semantics. You would never do this with any words that supported your views lol.
Actually in genome-wide association studies, if p-values are low enough SNPs and traits are said to be associated, not just consistent with.
Your fixation on words as being the truth has blinded you to the fact that diatomaceous earth was added to the mix. Its not a natural substance in limestone. Its impossible for it to be in the limestones lol. So yes in the context 'indicates' means definitely added to the mix.
No, it doesn't. If you are only going to assert things, then I only need to assert things.
No your playing skeptic games to the point of cynnacism. You look for loopholes to undermine the findings. Even use words are the complete meaning of the findinds. So long as it undermines the findings. The aim is to discredit the sources which included the good scientists and researchers and the sources they come from because they don't meet your approval of what a good source is.

Wait a minute. If you then add the other bits of evidence such as the non natural substances added into the mix tested and the precision joins where youy can't fit a human hair into. Or the over spills of softened stone. The lack of credible evidence that the Egyptians actually cut and chiseled the stones and the fact that the logistically impossibility of getting massive stones some 450 feet in the air.

Then the findings start to look more likely that are on to something. What you are doing is fixating once again on specific like words. On this occassion one aspect of the whole investigation. But when we put it in context and include all the lines of evidence it takes a completely different context.
Without statistical testing, we don't have a measure on how probable something is.
Lol of course. They cut the same block to look like an overspill of leaking soft stone. Tell me on what basis would they make such a cut and overlap. Have you not seen the other overspills of softened stone I showed you. Are you going to rationalise every single out of place shape to the magic of sheer pounding and cutting as the go to cop out of explanation.
No, your claim, you prove it.
Now show me the scientific evidence that its a chisel or cut mark from a chisel or saw. Lets apply the same standard to your claim.
When did I make that claim? I have only said what they look like to me.
Its a better one that everything is the product of pounding, using small primitive saws and rubbing stone in shape lol. It certainly on preliminary results supports stone casting than chiseling.
How did you determine that it is better?
HUm yet you never point out when others who attack the evidence presented without one bit of rigor. Its double standards I tell you lol.
They normally don't quote my posts?
Because they are using peer review as a sledge hammer to reject any alternative views. Its not that peer review is no a good/ Its that its elevated by some was almost a godlike status. Its not and its be known to gatekeep info and alternative ideas that threaten the orthodoxy. Or the reputations and funding of those who have spent a lifetime defending the orthodoxy.

Its because those demanding the peer review do not apply the same standards across the board. When people attack the sources even before the content is investigated you know its more than science but belief. .
So why are they not sending their findings to the journals, are the getting unfairly refused or not? Have they even tried?
Yes as always. But in the mean time good science is being open to all ideas and giving them the same status as ideas that fall within the orthodoxy but may not yet be verified. Not just automatically reject them becuase they are different and may question the orthodoxy.

Kiwi in Tokyo – what’s the view from your window this morning?

So, worldwide friends, hit reply with one sentence: what can you see outside your window right now
My dog taking a poop, but I shall not share a photo.
—and does it make you smile, sigh, or pray?
None of the above.

What of these passages, do they make you think?

Isaiah 56, isnt referring to the 7th day Sabbath, it is referring to the Day of Atonement, which is a Sabbath itself, as you will find no where in the Torah where it forbids you of doing anything of the pleasure of the Sabbath, BUT the Day of Atonement is the ONLY day in which your are told to afflict your soul and turn from all things of your own pleasure. So it is very clear Isaiah 56 is taking about that day and not the 7th Day Sabbath.

There are no passages in Isaiah 56 showing Sabbath being mentioned that are referring to just the Day of Atonement, that it is from Sabbath to Sabbath is indication that it is Sabbaths a seven day week apart. "My righteousness will be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold of it, who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hands from doing any evil." This is any Sabbath, not at all just the Day of Atonement, and it is for any foreigners who join, as shown in the passages in this context, Isaiah 56; any gentiles are included, when they do join in doing this.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

How do you hold Adam accountable to a law he did not know about (and the entirety of humanity would not know about) for thousands of years after he lived?
He was made in the image and likeness of God; God was with him. He knew, more so than any after him.

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

The Lord's Wrath - How will it Happen

Palestinia, as designated by Emperor Hadrian;- 135 AD, was part of the Holy Land. Genesis 15:18
Today, it is just a figment of some peoples imagination.
You mean to tell me, the Holy Land stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates, as shown here?

does it do me any good to read a couple verses of the Bible each day?

I pray for God to direct me to the passages, scriptures, books and/or chapters that He wants me to read. I have a study bible. I have a daily devotional. I think, sometimes, we just need discipline and we need to remember that we read to get closer to God.

We don't read to tick a box off a chore list or to feel that we did something which is 'better than nothing'.

Could you wake a little earlier or go to bed a little later and spare some time with God?

I lock myself into a private room at night and pray and then read some of the bible. There are study guides out there that might assist, too? I'm sure lots of people can recommend some but in the meantime, I find this site useful: Our Daily Bread Ministries

I think reading verses are okay but sometimes verses are just snapshots of a broader context and I'm not sure how you can obtain understanding with small snapshots each day. Personally, I'd probably forget what I read by the next day but maybe you're better at this than me..ha.

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

Jesus would tell them to repent and believe.
Who to repent? Those who have no problem casting the first stone? Or those who have a condition that may be out of their control and who need "The Physician" to heal them? If the Sheep decide to slander the harvest, there is no one to do His will.
Think about it.

Matthew 9:37-38
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

And what is a laborer to do?

Matthew 28:19-20
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

And what did He command the laborers to do?

* Love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
* Love your neighbor as self.
* Repent and believe.
* Deny self, follow Me.
* Forgive others always.
* Do not judge.
* Seek Kingdom first.
* Abide in Me.
* Be a servant.

Be blessed.
