[@tonybennett4159]

If you're reading, RJ, here are easy steps to go from Africa to the Middle East in order for civilisations to begin : 1. Early Africans would have been hunter gatherers, living a mainly nomadic lifestyle. 2. As natural resources became more scarce with population increase, it was natural for hunter gatherers to migrate to more distant areas. 3. Eventually, some ended up in the Middle East 4. The Middle East was blessed with grain and with sheep and goats (none of which existed in Africa) which they learned to domesticate, and so began agriculture. 5. Agriculture no longer requires a nomadic life, so settlements began. 6. As settlements became established, they grew into towns where cooperation was needed to maximise crops etc. 7. One of the first uses of language was to organise the production and selling of crops, which meant that some people could diversify into pottery, basket weaving etc, so that commerce could begin. 8. All of this required organisation usually recorded, one such thing being the building of irrigation channels from the Tigris or Euphrates (Sumeria is in Mesopotamia remember?) 9. It's natural for such communities to establish hierarchies and create myths about themselves. Bingo! If grains and domesticable animals had not existed in the Middle East, had there been no reliable source of water, civilisation would most likely never have started there.

[@petersinclair3997]

tony bennett I haven’t read about this process for a long time. Only, I recall there was a period between 5 and 6, where populations alternated between settling for a short time going nomad settling and working the cycle. When Sumer was established on divine land, who administers it? A priesthood, perhaps?

I have always found it interesting that one of the base tenets of Judaism and Christianity is the avocation of ignorance being a good thing. Adam and Eve eat a fruit of knowledge and are evicted by God into the wilderness. The Tower of Babbel story is again a group willing to put knowledge as a foundation for their society and God says "Nope" and confounds their language to not allow for the exchange of knowledge. It seems the last thing the writers of this book wanted was informed people because when people can seek and find knowledge, it makes them so much harder to keep under the leader's thumb.

Yahweh is actually just Zeus in disguise. It would be hard to say which make-believe diety is more petty, mean, spiteful, jealous (the Bible even makes a point of Yahweh's jealousy), and just plain IMPERFECT- humanly imperfect. They were constantly meddling in human affairs. Both played with humans as if they were pieces in a board game (as in Clash of the Titans, and the story of Job). how anyone can take the Old Testament seriously is simply beyond me. In comparison, the New Testament would be completely believable, were it not for its tales about such everyday phenomena as zombies capable of walking on water.

You continue to pump all the lovey-dovey Jesus stuff into the child. As they get to Sunday school they meet the equally cunning converters. These teachers will fill the kids heads with stories of jolly animals frolicking around Noah's Ark. Find me a Sunday school teacher who will explain to children about god advising parents to sell their daughters into slavery, stating that disobedient children should be stoned to death, or the ever so loving act of smashing babies heads against rocks. No they won't dare tell children that. They continue along with parents and others to keep pumping all that loving Jesus stuff into the child until adulthood, until they are sufficiently brainwashed to no longer care that they are worshipping a non-existent psychopath.

"Scientific Theory A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can, in accordance with the scientific method, be repeatedly tested, using a predefined protocol of observations and experiments. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and are a comprehensive form of scientific knowledge. It is important to note that the definition of a "scientific theory" (often ambiguously contracted to "theory" for the sake of brevity, including in this page) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of the word "theory". In everyday non-scientific speech, "theory" can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, conjecture, idea, or, hypothesis; such a usage is the opposite of the word "theory" in science. These different usages are comparable to the differing, and often opposing, usages of the term "prediction" in science versus "prediction" in vernacular speech, denoting a mere hope. Both scientific laws and scientific theories are produced from the scientific method through the formation and testing of hypotheses, and can predict the behavior of the natural world. Both are typically well-supported by observations and/or experimental evidence. However, scientific laws are descriptive accounts of how nature will behave under certain conditions. Scientific theories are broader in scope, and give overarching explanations of how nature works and why it exhibits certain characteristics. Theories are supported by evidence from many different sources, and may contain one or several laws. A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence. A theory will always remain a theory; a law will always remain a law. Both theories and laws could potentially be falsified by countervailing evidence. Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses. Unlike hypotheses, *theories and laws may be simply referred to as scientific fact.* However, in science, theories are different from facts even when they are well supported. For example, *evolution is both a theory and a fact."* Wiki^

@@chicagoliightsx Two issues here. The first second Christian kingdom in history is founded by black Africans. Anti-blackness isn't remotely a part of the foundation of Christianity. Christianity had a continued presence in Africa till Islamic conquest for centuries and centuries. Egyptians weren't black for the most part. There was a small dynasty of black pharaohs but they lasted far shorter then even the Ptolemaic dynasty. So if they're not enough to call the pharaohs fair skinned then they certainly weren't black either. Egyptians in their own artwork take great care to depict themselves as far lighter then the southern Nubians and other Africans. They also take equal care to depict themselves to be darker then northern traders like those of the levant. Semi third point, those ancient alien people also believe aliens in the Balkans build some pyramids there, they just hate human skill regardless of skin color :P

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

@andrew gallovich as for the mechanism that would be natural and occasionally artificial selection if you believe those don't happen I invite you to provide peer reviewed evidence not just your religious belief about it. Yet heres the problem: evolution has been directly observed. Even if we are wrong about the cause its still a fact unless you can demonstrate it doesn't happen, hence me asking for a definition. Let me use an example of why. Do you believe people in the middle ages got diseases? At the time they believed an imbalance of the four humors made people sick. Does them not knowing what caused the bubonic plague mean it didnt exist? Cause that's sort of what saying "the causes are wrong so evolution doesn't happen" amounts to.

Remember the Star Trek episode where Spock describes their adversary as exhibiting ' 2-dimensional thinking' ?

[@Mr-S.p.o.c.k]

Indeed, I recollect that episode with utmost precision. In that instance, I identified our adversary’s methodology as exhibiting "2-dimensional thinking," a term which succinctly encapsulates their failure to appreciate the complexities of the situation. It is rather intriguing to observe that your comment, in its essence, seems to mirror this very limitation. The concept of "2-dimensional thinking" appears applicable to the perspective you have presented here. It is, regrettably, constrained by a lack of multi-dimensional analysis, much like the adversary’s approach I previously critiqued. In the pursuit of intellectual rigor, I would suggest a more profound examination of the subject matter, transcending the superficiality that often accompanies such limited viewpoints. As always, a more comprehensive understanding would be most logical. Spock, Science Officer, U.S.S. Enterprise 🖖

@orca winfreys big black fish hole Well, it could be there are some differences, but the main plot is the same. And Sumerian myths are much older than the Bible. E. g. check out the story of Dyonisus, which is pretty similar to story of Jesus... _Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger. He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles. He “rode in a triumphal procession on an ass.” He was a sacred king killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification. Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25. He was the God of the Vine, and turned water into wine. He was called “King of Kings” and “God of Gods.” He was considered the “Only Begotten Son,” Savior,” “Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega.” He was identified with the Ram or Lamb. His sacrificial title of “Dendrites” or “Young Man of the Tree” intimates he was hung on a tree or crucified._

As an Atheist, I reject the doctrine, that proclaims that "The Universe had to have had a beginning" I reject the notion of "Beginning, and End". I agree that: "Nothing comes from Nothing", and for precisely that reason, I reject the religious insistence upon "Creation". There are many examples of Self-Organization in Nature: Look up: "Cymatics, Self Ordering Molecules, Dynamic Self Assembly". No "Sky-God-Creator" in required for complex entities to form. And, a "Perfectly ordered Universe" would be a dead Universe. The fact that randomness can occur, is what enables change to take place!

[@Mr-S.p.o.c.k]

As a Plumber, your points about the universe and self-organization are intriguing, there are a few issues with your argument. First, rejecting the idea that the universe had a beginning overlooks the substantial scientific evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, which suggests that our universe did indeed have a starting point. The phrase "nothing comes from nothing" is a valid critique of the idea of creation ex nihilo, but it simplifies many religious views that don't adhere to this notion. Regarding self-organization, examples like Cymatics and Dynamic Self Assembly do illustrate that complexity can emerge naturally, which is a strong argument against a divine creator. However, the claim that a "perfectly ordered universe" would be a dead one relies on a somewhat vague definition of "order" and is more a philosophical stance than a scientific one. The role of randomness in the universe is crucial, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that a perfectly ordered universe would be lifeless. To make your argument more compelling, it's important to differentiate between philosophical beliefs and scientific evidence and to ensure that each point is clearly supported by logical reasoning. -The Plumber

The story of the Tower of Babel, to me is a perfect example of mythology rooted in reality. It is entirely plausible that a group of over achievers got together and decided to build a civilization, with their crowning achievement to be this huge tower that “reaches the heavens”, and given what we know now about engineering, we can guess what would have happened if they tried using those techniques and materials. And so after trying, and failing to accomplish this feat, they did what every ancient civilization did when misfortune befell them, they blamed God and abandoned their efforts and interpreted it as God punishing them for their hubris. So, now humility before God becomes one of the foundational tenets of a fledgling religion.

The sad part is that the mountain has been called by the name Ararat (in the West) since the Middle Ages, as it began to be identified with "mountains of Ararat" described in the Bible as the resting place of Noah's Ark, despite contention that Genesis 8:4 does not refer specifically to a Mt. Ararat. The ark landed on the "mountains of Ararat" (Biblical Hebrew: הָרֵי אֲרָרָט, hare ararat), according to Genesis 8:4. Many historians and Bible scholars agree that "Ararat" is the Hebrew name of Urartu, the geographical predecessor of Armenia; they argue that the word referred to the wider region at the time and not specifically to Mt. Ararat. The phrase is translated as "mountains of Armenia" (montes Armeniae) in the Vulgate, the fourth century Latin translation of the Bible. Christians literally do not know where their fictional ark landed.

[@vixendoe2545]

@@AC-gb7do not only that, they are not aware that at least one of the mountains of Ararat is a n active volcano which has erupted several times. One in the 1800s. So even if the story of Noah's ark is literally true, it would have been destroyed and buried by the lava flows.
