Hi Sfs, pardon my delay. It is generally known that Maxwell did not believe in Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

Hi ronlion, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, lots of thing are generally known that turn out not to be true. Presumably, if the widespread belief is correct, it should be based on some available evidence.

I read it in a letter of James Maxwell that I cannot find right now(but I give a MIT link where you will find the primary sources.)

I can't find anything in Ian Hutchinson's piece that supports the idea that Maxwell rejected Darwin. Can you point to anything? The only mention of evolution I see would tend to point in the opposite direction.

Since he's famous, there is a very real possibility that it's completely made up.

I don’t know if it was debunked and they reported a few days prior about a date who he reserved a floor within Trump Tower for. He’s 19 and a student at NYU. Anything’s possible at that age.

Since the left-wing supports Hamas that shouldn't be a complaint from them.

Pretty early in the thread to make making up stuff.

That said I’m not a huge fan of Grok 3 compared to its competitors from chatGPT - it was faster but had a number of limitations. However in all fairness I have not had a chance to evaluate Grok 4.

Fair enough, but you do know I was speaking of politics rather than technical proficiency, right?

I have been asked why I said that Hamas was forced to ceasefire by their Islamic neighbors. It was Egypt and Qatar mainly; who brokered the agreement.
But Hamas lives and dies by the Islamic code of Victory or Death. They cannot concede defeat to the Infidel USA or Israel. So this ceasefire is just another temporary halt to their aim of taking over the entire land of Israel.
They simply make this latest deal to be a victory and the returning Palestinians wave the V sign, as they travel back to Gaza City.

What should people expect from people who are producing children to either get a check, they are 14, 15, 16, etc.. years old, they are on drugs and trading sex for drugs or all of the above

Do you really think these people are worried or care how these children are going to grow up.

Not sure if Jordan is a good interpreter of what the Lord's work is. Did he not shield a predator-coach at an Ohio University?

Halloween is coming up and well, I read the article and the thought of some other news articles about human organ harvesting came to mind.

I wonder if this would open the door for harvesting the implants somehow, like as in the removal of the valued tattoo while in the morgue?

All of this data input and digital control.

We should have NEVER eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil!!

Justice system then : we are not going to deport this monster until he serves his time.

Our military is blowing boats carrying drugs designed to kill Americans. Our military is protecting our fellow Americans.

I voted twice for a president who sent the Secretary of State to the United Nations to present evidence that Iraq possessed WMD, stating that, without intervention, these weapons could potentially be used in cities such as New York, London, and Paris. It was later determined that the president was incorrect regarding Iraq's possession of WMDs.

We require more evidence that boats carrying drugs pose a lethal threat to Americans before supporting such military action based on social media claims by the president.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,

and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Of course, Hamas will ULTIMATELY capitulate. The US, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the UAE will have boots on the ground to monitor and make sure. If it takes some time, that is NOT a major problem for me.

The deal is signed. The Arab signatories are ready to be the security force.
=========
There is a long way to go to complete the 20-point plan. I suspect that this will wait for a new Israeli government in the Spring. The sticking point is NOT Gaza. It is getting Israel to withdraw from the West Bank. It seems the settlers will stay, if they wish, under an Arab government and under Arab security. That will take a new government. That's OK if Israel can be pressured to stop its support of settler violence.

Despite boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, nothing changed.

Those willing to blow themselves on the street so they can kill as many as innocent lives as they can for their freedom or objective cannot be defeated by force without losses on both sides. There is an assumption among some that the presence of US, Arab, and other international troops will prompt Hamas to surrender quality. Historical precedent suggests that such situations often devolve into prolonged urban conflict, resulting in substantial loss of life among both civilians and military personnel.

I support President Trump’s peace deal and the 20 steps, but let’s wait a few months to see how things unfold. I wouldn’t celebrate yet just because multiple countries have signed a peace agreement.

The good old logical fallacies again. I have lost count of the ad hominems lol. As I said last time this logical fallacy came up. If you want to play that game then Sir Flinders Petrie agreed with these researchers that these ancients had some sort of advanced knowledge and tech like a sophisticated lathe. You can't get a better credentialed expert of Egyptian artifacts.

And you have no idea what he meant by that because you have not got the technical background and because Petrie was working at the very beginning of our understanding about what ancient Egyptian craftsmen were capable of.

Christ Dunn is associated with a seperate research team that did the guage and scan tests. He's a engineer and precision tooling and worked with NASA aerospace. A pioneer in precision tooling and published plenty of papers.

Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov is a physicists and engineer with Penn State Uni. Published plenty of papers.

I also mentioned other scientists that worked with Karoyl

Chris King Precision Components, with over 50 years of expertise in super high-precision manufacturing and machining across aerospace, medical, and biking industries.

Marton Szemenyei PHD: Electrical Engineer, Computer Vision and Deep Learning research, Ai and 3D in Robotic perception.

Theres more but I can't be bothered having to address ad hominems.

Heres the thing. Your scrutinising these researchers while its ok that a few people on a social media platform can make objections and claims the research and testing is all wrong without any formal credentials or published work and its ok. The same level of scrutiny is not applied. So long as they are of the opinion that the researchers are wrong they don't need to be questioned. Their opinion is correct automatically.

I don't think thats consistent or fair. Like I said when a skeptic or objector does their own tests and research and then published their work refuting these researchers I will go with the researchers. Three independent published tests and findings all saying the same thing regardless of peer review is better than objections on a social media platform.

Christs death produces saving results in that by it the Children of God/Sheep/Church is gathered unto God Jn 11:50-52

50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

52 And not for that nation only, but that [in order that] also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

Clearly the purpose of His dying for that nation [jews] but not them only[gentiles] was for the gathering of them together to form them into One People unto God. This is also expressed earlier in John here Jn 10:16

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

The word bring here serves the same purpose as the word gather in Jn 11:52.

The word gather means συνάγω:

to lead together, bring together, come together (pass.), entertain
Usage: I gather together, collect, assemble, receive with hospitality, entertain.

to join together, join in one (those previously separated):

This speaks to the jews and gentiles being once separated, now being brought together by the death of Christ Eph 2:11-19

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

This gathering was prophesied in the OT here Gen 49:9-10

9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

Christ is Shiloh. This is probably what Caiaphas the high priest was moved to utter about Jn 11:49ff

The word for gathering in Gen 49:10 is the word yᵊqāhâ:

obedience, cleansing, purging,; obedience:—gathering, to obey.

The Death of Christ was designed to bring together the people of God from among all nations to the obedience of the Faith, under One Head. 4

This has nothing to do with clean energy. Trump hasn't found a way to monetize it yet!

Remember the Beverly Hillbillies? "Black gold, Texas tea!" Republicans like that black gold (oil) flowing into their campaigns like an endless lube.

Yeah, there are drawbacks (all those climactic disasters) but hey, they can fix that! Cancel FEMA, let the suffering fend for themselves, and keep that black gold flowing into their pockets.

Ugh.

Why did America vote him in again (by the narrowest of margins that had been winnowed by voter suppression in states like Georgia and North Carolina)?
,
While I certainly believe their are many disqualifying reasons why Trump should not have run again--the insurrection and prior bad acts, but also the far too numerous indicators of serious mental decline, I am not ready to absolve the 50.1% of Americans who should have known better.

I accept that we are a diverse nation with differing points of view, some conservative, some progressive, some religious, some secular--but none of those positions should support open defiance of the Constitution and the rule of law, the weaponization of the Justice Department, the conspiracy-theorization of HHS, the CDC and NIH, and the extreme dumbing down of the Education Department. Most of all, the vicious cruelty of immigrants--including those with temporary protected status--and the shredding of the safety net for those with Medicaid and the ACA, the shortsighted defunding of international assistance--which will turn those countries towards our enemies who will fill the vacuum we've created--are just a few reasons why this President not only lost the Nobel Peace Prize but also the respect of the entire free world and even from some who voted for him whose eyes have been opened.
