Isnt that Kurari though? Im having no luck looking up "Kurari" because Im not sure if that is the correct spelling so I cant link the two together. There seems to be very little written on it.

I thought he was god? How can he be made by god and god at the same time?

Well Im not certain on the spelling. You know what Im talking about though correct? Its either Kirari or Kurari. Its some kind of naturally occurring drug that can be used to cause almost a paralysis and it reduces heart rate and blood pressure to the point that people have been pronounced dead when they are in fact still living but in this persistent vegetative state. Yes "Serpent and the Rainbow" was based on it. Its very real however and it is where the origin of the "Zombie" came from initially. Sorry

Well in that case, why did they even bother with the Old Testament which is a lot of bloody mayhem and stoning people for inappropriate reasons? The commandments were nothing new anyway. I do believe the code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved ancient law code, created around 1760 BC.

I think when you start using buzz words like "purpose" then you begin navigating the murky waters of destiny. Some people believe we are all on a pre-set course and others feel that's baloney and we are in complete control as individual humans.

Then there are those types like Forest Gump who believe its a little of both.

I dont think there is any definitive purpose. Im in the baloney crowd there. The reason I have reached this conclusion is that ALL living, breathing entities have an impact on the world one way or another. I dont just mean humans either but all living animals.

I say this because I raised a shelter dog that was about to be euthanized. He was literally on death's door because no one would take him. He had behavior problems. I was a foster parent and had just adopted out my last dog so I took this one at the last second.

This dog ended up being adopted by a family and alerting them to a fire that had started in their laundry room. They had no fire alarms installed at the time.

So was that destiny? No, probably not but it worked out good for everyone involved. Someone else probably has a story that is the exact opposite and a tragic set of circumstances.

I dont think the term "missing link" is still used anymore. Thats a bit outdated. Ooops.

You can make a zombie by giving someone Kirari. Its been recorded happening in Haiti and Africa. Yes there are a tremendous amount of similarities between Jesus of Nazareth and Krishna. Horus is always the one that blows me away however but I didnt see all of these between him and Krishna.

Yes and you cant have micro evolution and not macro. It is the same process, you just add time.

Yes but there is supportive evidence for evolutionary biology, not so much for the creationist religions and their presumptive understanding for how life evolved on the face of this planet. To each their own however and Im assuming you didnt want this thread to turn into yet another Creationism/Evolution debate. We have about 8 of those running right now.

Because god wasnt a science major obviously. I was pointing that passage out mainly as a joke Mirror, relax.

Thats true. But then again (there is always a "then again") I think the bible DOES in fact plainly discuss what would later become the theory of evolution. This passage here.

Genesis 1

1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Hrmm. Notice that God lets "the earth bring forth" the plants, rather than creating them directly. Maybe Genesis is not so anti-evolution after all. Maybe Genesis is describing biological evolution right there.

Welcome. I think its just because they have certain designated areas and moved does not mean deleted. It just means they moved it to the area of the forum they feel is most appropriate to avoid any arguments. Once again welcome.

That CGI stuff is amazing.

Kravin did I read that correctly? You are having a "mid-life crisis" at age 23? Thats part of the problem right there.

Yes because look at this taken from the bible:

"For rebellion as is the sin of witchcraft." 1 Samuel, 15:23

Hmm, wasnt the revolutionary war all about rebellion?

Well evidently the First Great Awakening was earlier than that. I certainly would not come to the conclusion that Christianity and the War for Independence had anything in common. They would have been at odds.

Right. Keep your keeps in your pocket/purse if you must pass out in the vehicle. You might still be in trouble but the keys in the ignition are all they require to prove intent. Why would you need to start the car anyway if you are drunk? Then you are going to pass out and your car will overheat and your radiator explode. The cop is doing you a favor.

What biblical prophecy has ever been fulfilled? Thats probably a new thread huh?

The first Awakening is listed here on Wiki:

Since religion has often been used to support political platforms, the Great Awakenings have exerted significant influence on the politics of America. Joseph Tracy, the minister and historian who gave this religious phenomenon its name in his influential (and still, to many, definitive) 1842 book The Great Awakening, saw the First Great Awakening as a precursor to the War of Independence. For another example, the abolition movement, part of the wider Second Great Awakening, eventually contributed to the crisis over slavery, which led to the American Civil War.

Thats where I disagree with it.
