If regularity was so important to him, he could have resigned from the clandestine lodge and applied to a Blue lodge of either Prince Hall or "George Washington" lineage long ago.

Geometry! Fun with compasses, right angles, measures! That's where my autistic mind goes. If I let myself, I could spend all day happily creating such diagrams. Who needs meaning when you can while away the hours making arcs, lines, circles--and if you have three pins and a loop of string, you...

Both of the claims you make about the KJV are simply flat-out wrong. 1: Except for modernizations of spelling, the KJV is the same translation it was roughly 500 years ago. 2: The Pope of Rome had nothing at all to do with the KJV. If you are talking about the Bible in general, you're still...

The KJV is the LAST place anyone should go for exegesis (well, almost the last). Once again, we run into the problem that the English of 1611 is not English as we use it today. The Hebrew word translated as "evil" was translated properly in 1611. In 1611, the English word "evil" did NOT just...

In the late 16th and early 17th century, "principles" meant "basics" or "first parts". It did not mean "fundamental parts" or "important parts". The Greek word translated as "principles" is "arxes" (that's with an "eta" not an "epsilon"), which means "beginning" or "origin". The KJV translaters...

NOBODY USES DARWIN'S THEORY ANYMORE! NOBODY USES IT! IT IS OBSOLETE! THERE IS NO POINT IN ARGUING AGAINST IT! We might as well argue against Aristotelian physics, argue against phlogiston, argue against the miasma model of disease origin, argue against non-atomic continuity of matter, argue...

And evolutionary theory as accepted by biology is not anti-religion, either. I know it because I am a Christian and I also am a biologist who accepts evolution as the most valid explanation of the diversity of life. As for what "Darwins theory" [sic] does or does not "explain"--what you claim...

Some light reading on the subject: http://greatgameindia.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/the-masonic-theory-of-the-origins-of-life-the-hidden-link-between-darwin-marx-neitzche-hitler/ Yes, I know it's anti-Masonic, that's the point of my posting it.

Espousing anti-scientific conspiracy "theory" tends to not get much love among rational people, at best, one can get a bit of pity.

It's not even the beginning of science. Observation is the beginning of science. Deduction comes after observation. The observation comes first and all deductions (and inductions) must be checked against observations. And even then, the reasoning cannot begin until something has been observed...

I tracked down the full letter in which Pike made his racist comment. It's strange letter: What I see in this is that Pike is unhappily acknowledging that some GL or another will recognize the Prince Hall establishment at some time in the future. He sees it as inevitable. He also hates the...

You've never studied any biology at all in your entire life, I take it. 1: Vaccines also exist for bacterial diseases, NOT JUST VIRAL. 2: The VAST MAJORITY of vaccines are not live vaccines. They are either subunit or "inactive" (dead) vaccines. The "live" pathogen is usually not necessary for...

Pike is well-read and respected by Masons. Masons feel the need to "explain" Pike to the public, to downplay his actual authority, and even to, in detail, illlustrate that his work does not determine Masonic beliefs. I'd say that Pike is a mixed bag, and blaming "ignorance" on the part of the...

Point being? Let's ban EVERYTHING, since everything has some risk associated with it! THE SKY IS FALLING. 9/11 IZ UH KUNSPIRASEE! DONT VAKSINATE!

Funny thing, that. Anti-vaxxers tend to have a remarkably high level of truthers and birthers among them. Makes one wonder about the truther and birther mind...

I think I may have found a way to get an idea of how good a home in a real estate listing might be. If one narrows down price range, beds, baths, location, etc., there's another variable that might be worth looking at: Number of pictures in the online ad (on a site like realtor.com). It seems...

Aberdeen is part of the industrialized world (although I know a few folks from south of there who might dispute that). There is plenty of scientific material available at these things called "libraries".
