God is not the Creator, claims academic
2009-10-12 01:55:00 Professor Ellen van Wolde, a respected Old Testament scholar and author, claims the first sentence of Genesis “in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth” is not a true translation of the Hebrew. She claims she has carried out fresh textual analysis that suggests the writers of the great book never intended to suggest that God created the world — and in fact the Earth was already there when he created humans and animals. Prof Van Wolde, 54, who will present a thesis on the subject at Radboud University in The Netherlands where she studies, said she had re-analysed the original Hebrew text and placed it in the context of the Bible as a whole, and in the context of other creation stories from ancient Mesopotamia. She said she eventually concluded the Hebrew verb “bara”, which is used in the first sentence of the book of Genesis, does not mean “to create” but to “spatially separate”. The first sentence should now read &ld...

Academic Failures at Lakeland
2009-02-25 16:56:00 Notice: This entry is aimed at the students of Lakeland Jr/Sr High School in Jermyn, Pennsylvania. Most of the advice issued in this entry may not apply to other schools that have different curricula. However, it may still help, so please do not be turned off from reading this just because you do not fit into the main audience aim. Many students take education for granted. These students survive in school by taking steps to undermine any advances in their learning, such as copying homework, getting questions/answers from a test in advance, etc. However, there are the students who do want to succeed by putting in their best personal effort needed in order to get the most of their learned education. I wish to write up an informal guide to lead these specific students into the right direction and I hope to intervene early enough in their educational career to be of vital influence before it's too late. If you barely pass in ninth and tenth grade and hope to improve your overall GPA s...

Are the Academic Lefties Too Dumb to See that Obama Wants War Just as Much
2008-10-04 22:05:00 Palin spoke in her debate with Senator Biden about sending more troops to Afghanistan. She was thereby following obama's proposal in fact. That has acutally been one of obama's themes for some time now, as in his speech in Berlin at the Second Reich's Victory Column. He said there:The Afghan people need our troops and your troops.So obama is just as eager for war as McCain or Bush, for that matter. What amazes me is that the so-called "liberals" and "left" don't seem to notice that obama is calling for sending more Americans into war. Is it OK for obama to do it, in their opinion, but not for george bush to do it? Are they just stupid or do they try not to notice that their idol is just as eager for more war as anybody else in DC?http://ziontruth.blogspot.co-m/2008/08/obama-means-war-obama--is-war-candidate.htmlof course, when zbig brzezinski is one of your advisors, it's natural for you to propose sending more troops to one place while withdrawing them from another.

The Litmus Test For Academic Racism
2008-08-20 07:56:00 You wonder why I call these people names. Ok. There is a very good reason for that, and it is not just what they write. I really don't give a damn what they write, although in most cases, there's a problem of tone. The main problem is their position on civil rights and anti-discrimination laws. If you're against civil rights and anti-discrimination laws, you're a racist! It's really that simple.There's just no way around it. Although this makes almost all libertarians racists, people who always write about disparagingly about certain non-White races, and then want to get rid of civil rights and anti-discrimination laws, well, they're just racists, period.Let's look at these folks:Charles Murray: Mr. Murray, famous author of The Bell Curve. I have read it many times; it is excellent, and it really makes a mockery of his later life as he moved much to the right of that book. He has not yet made his position known on civil rights and anti-discrimination laws. However, he has ta...
