From: cjcountess on 14 Jul 2008 18:36 Hi this is Conrad To the three that did respond to my post, all I did is put the evidence out there that the structure of the Universe is parallel to and resembles the structure of the mind. I am confident enough to let the evidence speak for itself and don't have to resort to childish insults. Why some want to turn the Google dialogs into the goo goo gaga childish dialogs I don't know but it is probably because of frustration. The evidence speaks for itself and anyone comparing objectively what it says to what you say will see which is more correct. I don't have to argue this point Conrad

I've visited a few times, but only for short tourism or business related visits. I really don't know much about the culture there. I'm from Oklahoma, U.S.A., and, although I've traveled all over the globe, I am more comfortable here than any place I've visited. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I quite agree, prophesying, or predicting the future, is not limited to the Biblical prophets, but the fact that they made so many prophetic statements and were right in them, even though the event didn't happen for a very long time, is what impresses me. I can, for example, predict the weather, and hit it some times, but I do miss more than I hit unless I narrow my predictions down to something more general...like, it's going to be hot next week. Well, sure, this is mid summer, and it very likely will be hot some of the time next week. And, carrying this over to religious prophesying, I could prophesy that Jesus isn't going to return tomorrow, and I'd probably be right. This isn't what I'm referring to when I use the term "prophecy." Gordon

The Harry Potter books have nothing to do with the Biblical account of the construction of Hezekiah's tunnel. Robert B. Winn
