Geocentric Universe

Ptolemy said that Earth was the stationary center of the universe.

Copernicus placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System.

Galileo championed the ideas of Copernicus.

All were wrong. The great scientists of their time were all wrong.

However, the astronomers in Sumeria in 3500 B.C. correctly placed the Earth in its proper place.

But the ancient stories are myths, right? Myths are for children. Myths are always proven wrong or ignored, right?

Earth

"Outside intelligences, exploring the Solar System with true impartiality, would be quite likely to enter the Sun in their records thus: Star X, spectral class G0, 4 planets plus debris."

UFO's and Demons?

Many websites claim that UFO's are a demonic manifestation. Even Whitley Strieber has written of his belief in demons in his book Transformation. John Keel also referred to "the age-old demonological phenomenon."

Dr. Jacques Valle, in Messengers of Deception, observed that, "Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."

Some writers quote Matthew 16:4, "An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah" when others say that UFO's are signs intended for the faithful. So who is right? William Shakespeare added to the confusion by writing, "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Still others claim that Satan's forces are attempting to prevent the second coming of Jesus Christ by re-corrupting the human race as they did once before, during Noah's generation.

And Matthew 13 seems to hint at unseen forces, "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart...."

And finally, the last word....

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering.O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Evolution or Intelligent Design?

(Note - I found this on my computer in My Documents and am unable to attribute its source. But it is worth a post IMBO.)

A pre-human species called Homo Erectus lived on earth from over a million years ago until nearly 150,000 years ago with little change in his skeletal or intellectual constitution. The monkeys and great apes have endured in a virtually unchanged nature for much longer.

Between 100,000 and 40,000 years ago, a new creature with characteristics measurably different from his predecessors appeared on earth, called Neanderthal man. Cro-Magnon man, also dubbed "modern man," appeared about 40,000 years ago. So, in about 100,000 years, mankind, of which Neanderthal was first, changed from a primitive creature who groveled around in trees and on the savannas like Homo Erectus and the apes, to a creature who can depart earth and walk on the moon.

Althought 100,000 years seems an incredibly long time, by evolutionary and archeological reckonings it is an astonishingly short time for such staggering developmental changes to occur in an species. It is all the more puzzling when it is realized such radical changes have not occurred during that same time period in any other animals on earth.

Could it be that these changes occurred not because of changes in natural environmental conditions, but because of interference in the evolution of humans by an alien group? Is it possible man is not solely the result of natural evolution, and not solely the result of special creation? Could he be the end product of both?
