    I only peek in now and then. I really do not have the time or the will to read through all of the half-baked information presented here. I have a life! I give a comment now and then but frankly, I do not have the ego or the wish to stay in here to present a "winning" argument. I know what I know and I am content. Some here view the subject as a contest which they have to win at all cost. Some obviously are lost souls and it is sad - because they are so mistakenly cocksure. Trinitarians, evolutionists, and others...... but they have a right to their opinions.....

    I do not want your approval - even in sarcasm. Your words are too obnoxious and abhorent. Your science is based on peer consensus( like much of the science these days) which is not science but a buddy-buddy system so you can be part of the group-think. .......With no-one prepared to say: the emperor has no clothes on!

    Thanks for this..... we all should have this attitude.

    Please explain how I trash the methods?

    This had nothing to do with business but with a powerful and superstitious religious system which always trumped business. I have said the same (and was the first to say so). Where have I heard that before? I remember the "group-think " of nazi Germany. Like a herd of sheep they went along with the current ideology. Too afraid to be different. You remind me of that ..... you have the groupthink found at universities Yes- if DNA no longer determines gender..... but how you are indoctrinated..... then science is no longer sound. When doctors perform tons of gender transitions without giving the "young children" a chance to make sure and take them away from their parents - then it is 'warped ' science and merely a desire for power. It is science without a conscience. When science is used to control people's minds and hook them up to computers for control ..... then it is no longer about pure science or truth but about CONTROL. I can go on. When information is weaponized, then it is no longer a noble search for knowledge but an evil desire for power. I gave examples of other things I have researched such as Islam. When university studies blatantly lie or leave out information which can change the picture - there is no longer a search for truth or a scientific method. I can go on and on.... but you think like the group - not about right or wrong and do not care about justice...... otherwise you would have noticed what is going on under your nose. Are you looking for fossilized poop? I come from Africa and I have seen how quickly poop can dissipate. It is an organic material - not metal or plastic. In archeology one is very lucky if one finds a poop which is still intact. Poop was not embalmed like cats and crocodiles in Egypt ...lol. conditions must be ideal for preservation. The bible says that the entire creation is suffering due to the choices that the first man Adam made - independence from God. Roman's 8:" that the creation itself will also be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now." God created everything to work perfectly together but it has been corrupted.

    Well said. This is what I was saying above. That is why I stick to a date which can be proven beyond reasonable doubt: 530 BCE. Death of Cyrus.
  7. Arauna
    He is correct. Darius the Mede was installed as Satrap. Later Cyrus came back to be crowned as "king of the four corners of the earth (king of kings) and declared repatriation. This was prophesied by the two horned Persian beast conquering Babylon. (Persia and Media). Time will tell. I have seen your reasonings on evolution - and frankly was not impressed. I think YOU are the drone and call anything you do not know of - a conspiracy. I recheck my knowledge - always rechecking. You have fallen for the evolution conspiracy which turns people against the true God...... AND the false information many scholars are now being "paid" for and "compromised" for by BIG money. Scientists now go where the money is...... not where honesty and truth leads them to. The era of decent science is over. Science now is applied to control people. Willing scientists are helping the wicked.

    Just remember that lunar eclipses will show up in different months. Babylon used sun years. Juda used 2 calendars. The calendar for spiritual / holy events and the planting calendar.
  9. Arauna
    You deliberately remain obtuse. The insight book uses the date of cyrus's death 530BCE because this date is set in stone. This is the most accurate, reliable, quick and accurate way to get to 539 BCE. From there it is easy to follow what happened. True. Jerusalem was desolate....... and jehovah did not allow other nations to move in and take it over. It remained desolate. A miracle! Many kings were killed by brothers, sons, uncles, who wanted their thrones. The whole of mankind"s history is filled with examples of this I.e. Sanacarib. Nebuchadnezzar was a literal beast for seven years until his "human heart "was restored. He realized that Jehovah has control over kingdoms and can do what he likes. Nebuchanezzars throne was not taken from him during his incompetence. Another miracle. So when these scholars do not accept the bible as the word of God and do not accept these sterling examples of Jehovahs power, then it is reasonable to accept that they would accept any old scholarly paper ( no matter how badly it clashes with the events of the bible) .... just because it clashes with the bible. Their motives are clear.

    Very easy if you are only master of one!
  11. Arauna
    You are splitting the hairs Not mentioning Akitu in their writings does not mean they have rejected it. They may not have seen it to consider it Evidence that you are the one obsessing! and on top of that you are patronizing towards me!
  12. Arauna
    Insider also sounds creepy - to be honest. I guess he wants the details because he is calling you out on your use of stars and calendars - which is actually unnecessary to get to 539 BCE because there are much easier methods of of getting to the correct dates.
  13. Arauna
    It is true! When he cannot answer he focusses on mistakes in language!

    One does not have to be a scientist to understand science. Scientists like to present themselves as these highly intelligent people which often is a myth. There are some smart ones - but not all are smart. My brothers are smart - I am mediocre but there is nothing wrong with my reasoning abilities and inquisitive nature. Reading through some of the research offered by evolutionists after the DNA was discovered in the bones of dinosaur fossils - I realized they were in a panic and were not doing a very good job at explaining it away. Much of the reasoning was flawed but was accepted by their peers...... this made my skepticism grow about science. My view of scholars changed after I studied Islam intensely. When scholars were presenting papers that were untrue - I started investigating where they got their funding from and realized the corrupting influence of money from donors to universities. Many universities were accepting large donations from Qatar. The same happened in the medical field - when FDA approved medicines that were compromised by global companies being allowed to provide their own self-research. I realized that money talks. My view of scholars also changed when I read papers how monotheism started with Akhenaton etc. Moses stole his information according to them. I realized that scholar is just a name (in some fields of study) that gives the person an opportunity to promote their own ideas and that of the money donors. It does not have to be based on actual evidence. These scholars often ignored uncomfortable facts. One such example was the temple of Melchizedek which was discovered. This gave evidence of a single god (YHWH) being worshiped 4000 years ago...... Long before Akhenaton. Evidence of Joseph in Egypt is regularly ignored by scholars. Many ring seals (seals that were put on messages and letters) have been found with names of Israeli kings on them. These are ignored - such as the one which has David's name on it..... and I can go on and on. I only respect a scholar that earns his bread by good research and evidence. One such scholar I am following at present is Dan Gibson. He has done research of all the stones inscriptions around mecca and petra and the original Qiblas. It turns out that Petra may have been the original mecca. So yes - allow me to be skeptic of the learned ones who like to ennoble themselves.

    So your issues are with the time between 539 and 537. Well, 2 years ago when this subject came up I was the first to mention Akitu and how important it is. I had read extensively about Sumeria and the Babylonian empire more than 20 years ago. Many books wrote about the important festival of putting the king on the throne during a recurring festival of Akitu. He went up into the ziggurat and slept with the priestess. All part of this pagan festival and the large festivities. I assumed the GB had not seen this in their research. To me this festival explained it clearly. So why the BIG palaver about this period when there is evidence of what took place. Is it not an obsession to prove the GB WRONG? To me this festival explains what happened in those two years and gives enough time for the proclamation and to get back to Jerusalem. No - he was crowned King of the four corners of the earth in 538 BCE during the 14 day festival 1-14 Nissan (New Years festival). This would give until Nissan the following year plus extra months up to Tishri to gather together and get back to Jerusalem. TO SPLIT HAIR ABOUT DAYS OR A MONTH OR TWO IS REALLY (I had a bad word here but removed it)...... THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DISCRIBE IT.

    Great ! At least we agree on this! I last time I looked in the insight book, I found they do NOT rely on the ancient Babylonian king lists (from my own reading I also found these unreliable). The date of Cyrus's death is the pivotal date (530 BCE, which is a proven and reliable secular date. one of the most reliable secular dates. The insight uses this date. The stars are superfluous. The Babylonian chronicles puts the reign at 9 years (when the satrap was put as king in Babylon - Darius the Mede. Which also fits with bible prophecy about the two horned ram - Medes and Persians - conquering Babylon. (539 BCE) It is not a complicated method to determine the date of return to Jerusalem......and the most reliable.... That is why I find it strange that you guys keep running after all these other (not so reliable ) sources. The date of Cyrus's death is an unquestionable date. .... set in stone in all literature. One does not have to violate your conscience with this evidence. I clearly read in the insight book that the stars are not reliable. While the AID book may have relied on other evidence - it is no longer the case...... the evidence is clear as daylight .... and easy to calculate. Neither am I, but it does give a good explanation on how it took 2 years to get back to Jerusalem.

    Thanks for the compliment..... If someone with more intelligence had said that I would have thought about it and tried to improve. Thank you- I was looking for the right word. I am learning my umpteenth language at present - so I forget some of the precise words in the language used here on the forum. It does not mean that I do not understand exactly how things work. You are trying to be a smarty pants now by correcting my language. Apart from common sense - which I often use - it is also in some of our publications. I suggest you read one or two books against evolution - you may get a surprise. Since Dawkins wrote his book, many really smart people have written books debunking evolution - mathematicians, Nano-technologists, DNA specialists etc. Face it : evolution is really more of a religious theory than a science. Really - but the fossil record is totally remiss of all the interim phases..... so why should I read a book that is not based on evidence...... just a theory? I prefer the fossil evidence - which indicates that all animals appeared fully formed. You should check your mathematics and your reasoning! If the 7th day is 7000 years long (6000 + 1000 years) - and all the days are equally long - then that gives 7000 years times 7 weekdays which amounts to 49,000 years - not 27000 years. Which actually mirrors the number of of biblical years BEFORE the jubilee year .... and the 50th year IS THE jubilee year. So AFTER the 1000 year reign of Christ (which is also called a "rest" day or is the judgement day) we may have a Jubilee based on the actual number of years of creation days........ but I am prepared to wait to have that one to be confirmed. I do not accept any supplementary material as important - it must give enough evidence...... whereas scholars often accept weak material which suits their need to prove something.... they usually leave out the stuff they cannot answer.
  18. Arauna
    Well it does work out if one counts in the festival of Akitu and then give a year for them to get back to Jerusalem.. ...
  19. Arauna
    Why the denial? The Spirit of God is always active energy. But suit yourself......You even argue about a "circle " and turn it into a "ball' just to deflect the truth.... anything to avoid acknowledgement of the bible.
  20. Arauna
    No it would not! For reasons I have already explained on this forum many times! It is like speaking to a rock! It seems you would rather listen to the stars and let the stars foretell it for you but not the bible chronology!
  21. Arauna
    So you have no clue?
  22. Arauna
    How can this be if Cyrus was only crowned in 538 BCE on Nissan 1-14 (festival of Akitu) and gave the edict to return? You work on assumptions which you stick onto me which are incorrect.
  23. Arauna
    True - power can also refer to a latent power. But the power of God is always active and moving. It gives life and comes from a "living " god..
  24. Arauna
    Jehovah is that something big and strong!

    I have a brother who is a mathematician, a computer programmer, and a analytical chemist specializing in carbon life..... He also was a toxicologist doing research on poisons. I know that he laughs at the dating methods of evolution because of the compensations in the calculations. He is a JW. He also has a friend who is a analytical chemist with a PHD in water. He is also a JW. So yes there are JWs who are respectable scientists (without the ego which you seem to think is the most important qualification) who believe the bible to be reality. I also know of of many Geologists who can prove that the 'layers of the earth' gives evidence of a world-wide flood and not evolution because there is too much phenomena that evolution cannot explain - but makes sense when one examines the evidence which is in the layers of the earth. The deposits of the fossils in graveyards which are hundreds of miles long, the mix of the animals in some graveyards, volcanic actions during the flood, movement of the Teutonic plates etc. There are many scientists who do not have the "herd" mentality. The are not afraid to stand out.
