PROOF OF GOD

Greetings all,"You want to insult my intelligence too ?"Pardon? We have seen no evidence of any."He (Jar) is demanding I accept that the unit of measure to build the Pyramid,"No he isn't.No-one claimed the pyramid was BUILT with metres - they are just a handy unit for objects this size. Any object can be measured with any (appropriate) units.Your ignorance about measurement is so profound - you think that claiming the pyramid is 146m tall means the ancient egyptians actually BUILT in metres - absolute nonsense.You seem totally unable to understand the issue here.The issue is that YOUR measurement is WRONG - you claim the pyramid is/was 5449 inches high.But,
the FACTS disagree with you - this figure is NOT supported by any evidence or measurement."Jar wants to completely IGNORE all the evidence that the sacred inch be the measuring unit because to accept this greatly evidences the claim of Divinity."Evidence?
You presented no evidence, just wishful thinking and crackpot theories.Iasion

Greetings all,I've been following this thread for some time, and it was with a great sense of relief that the moderator put us out of our misery by moving it, and WT, here.I am fully in agreement with having WT limited here - his posts were nonsense and he was wasting people's time. In fact, I am rather surprised it was let go that long - and this leads me to argue fore more agressive aaction in future.Now,
This is my favourite forum on the 'net. There are many smart people here from all sorts of fields and we see quality debates on varied subjects - from both the smart young people and the mature experts. (I recently heard that people in the industrialized West are currently gaining about 15% IQ per generation - fantastic go humans go!)Honestly,
its a buzz to come here and see what the smart people are talking about - well done guys And,
one of the strong points of this board is the moderation - typically most forums go off topic within a dozen posts or two - but not here. Even better, the moderation focuses on issues of substance - not silly issues of style like TWeb.Anyway,
it was clear WT was a crackpot very early on in this post - yet very many of the smart people spent a great deal of time dealing with him. A lot of time and brains and patience - for very little result (although its true we did learn a bit about the pyramid along the way.)The thing is,
its sad to see geniuses like Lam wasting time on total crap, or the avuncular Ned explaining the most basic principles over and over and over. I love to read Lam's stuff - but heck he needs all the time he can get to invent faster-than-light travel (or whatever). And seeing Ned's incredible patience and clear communication completely wasted on WT was like having teeth pulled. (Just picking two names at random - I don't know either of these people.)Seriously,
I would support some mechanism whereby we shut this post down nearer 100 posts than 350.So - how about a Crackpot Vote Mechanism?After 100 posts in a thread, or a dozen from the potential Crackpot, or 6 un-corrected rule violations, any reader can ask the moderator to call for a Crackpot Vote. If the case is sound, a vote is so called.After 3 days,
if at least 1 dozen readers (or some number or percentage maybe) cast their ostraka against the possible crackpot, then they are sent to Free for All for a month.Any comments?Iasion This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 07-03-2004 12:10 AMThis message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 07-03-2004 12:38 AM

Greetings Ned,Please allow me a few brief comments within the current off-topic bracket I will try to post a bit more often, thanks.Usually of course, when I do post, I am quickly shown to be wrong - but always politely and clearly.
It's great And I LIKE to pay compliments where deserved.
I find typical modern (male) culture is rather competitive - in my country, "friendly" ritualised degradation and insults of one's mates is the norm.In political and public life also, it is far more common to criticise then to compliment.So,
I have decided as personal policy to compliment and give praise when deserved.Consider this a vote of confidence in this forum and the quality of its discussions There are many other names I could cite - you and Lam just happened to be uppermost in my reading that day.Iasion

Greetings WT,"If the evidence is "crank" then it should be no problem in refuting it. "You provided no evidence.
Your claims were refuted in detail, at lenth, over and over.
You showed fundamental inability to grasp basic concepts.
You completely failed to engage anyone in debate.
You merely spouted religious clap-trap and closed you ears to responses."We have a TOTAL avoidance of what has been actually argued."Nonsense.
We saw HUNDREDS of posts from DOZENS of people which comprehenseively showed your claims wrong.
And you STILL bleat that people are "avoiding" your claims.
This is outright raving lunacy."I have meticulously offered ALL my evidence according to Forum guidelines, unlike 99% of my opponents."No you didn't.
You gave no evidence for ANY of your claims - you just repeatedly cited another crackpot.You claimed the pyramid was 5449 inches tall.
After HUNDREDS of posts asking for your evidence, you admitted -
* You don't even have the actual book with the real "evidence" in it.
* You admit the pyramid is NOT 5449 inches tall anymore.Then you lied that you always meant it wasn't 5449" anymore.Others here politely provided many arguments, links, map, calculations, citations, etc.. etc..But,
You have yet to provide a SINGLE piece of evidence for your irrational religious beliefs.Iasion

Greetings all,Perhaps it would be best to focus on one issue at a time?Maybe start with the 5449" height issue?Iasion

Oh...Is the entertainment on this channel over?
