So Religion(s) are As Old as Planet Earth?...7000 years...

Earl Brown · Monday, October 29th 2012 at 5:06PM · 1385 views
Or is this the greatest mystery that the Creator will not discover to the inhabitants of planet earth? In fact, this planet is millions of years old. According to Western Civilization(Christianity), we've only been here for 7,000 years...really? There is an old saying....."people lie...but science does not". Is the belief systems of the masses based upon empirical, scienctific knowledge, rational thinking or the superstitous teaching of man; that would include history books on religion(s) and theology actors and historical figures of ancient?

Peace Brother Earl,

Contrary to popular belief, we (the black race) were here way before 7,000 years, if you have access to an ancient map you will find that in the beginning this whole planet that you and I live on was called Asia. We were the first, I repeat, the first people walking on Asian soil. 76 trillion years ago an explosion took place in our universe and Asia split into 7 portions, thus resulting in the 7 continents we have today. The first continent to result from Asia was named Africa.

Christianity (the white race) came into existence 6,000 years ago. We have been taught that history repeats itself every 25,000 years and that we are presently living in the 15,000 years cycle.

15000 minus 9000 = 6000

As far as religion being as old as Planet Earth, this is correct in reference to Islam, Islam has no birth record, meaning it has no beginning or ending. It is as old as the sun, moon, and stars.

Peace Sister, the name preceding what's known as Africa today was Alkebulan. The name Alkebulan Alkebu-lan means "mother of mankind" or "garden of eden."

Alkebulan is the oldest name preceding Africa and the only one of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians.

The name Africa, the current misnomer adopted by almost everyone today, was given to this continent by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Did I explain to you where the 9,000 in the math problem came from? The above number 9,000 came from the Nation Of Islam lesson where Master Fard Muhammad (NOI founder) says that our ancestors wanted to return to their own country but couldn’t swim 9,000 miles from North America.

SWIMMING IMPLIES REMEMBERING! (YEAR 1)

REMEMBERING (RE-TO REPEAT OR DO OVER AGAIN) IS NO DIFFERENT THAN SAYING HISTORY (HIS-STORY) HIS-STORY BEING TOLD 25,000 YRS IN ADVANCE.

SIMPLY PUT ---WHEN YOU REMEMBER YOU GO UP IN TIME FROM WHERE YOU ARE OPERATING FROM PRESENTLY, AND YOUR MEMORY STORED THE FUTURE AS THE PAST--- HENCE PROPHECY IS ABOUT A FUTURE TIME THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

SWIMMING ---b: to surmount difficulties: not go under
AND THE 9000 MILES ARE YEARS, EACH MILE REPRESENTS ONE YEAR.

Q: WHERE WAS HE TO SWIM TO?
A: HE WAS TO SWIM TO HIS RULER SHIP!!!

Hint to the wise:
WHAT BODY OF WATER DO YOU KNOW THAT IS 9000 MILES?
THE WATER IS SYNONYMOUS WITH KNOWLEDGE!

Neatly dressed in blue Capri pants and a sleeveless top, long hair flowing over her bare shoulders, Mary Schweitzer sits at a microscope in a dim lab, her face lit only by a glowing computer screen showing a network of thin, branching vessels. That’s right, blood vessels. From a dinosaur. “Ho-ho-ho, I am excite-e-e-e-d,” she chuckles. “I am, like, really excited.”

After 68 million years in the ground, a Tyrannosaurus rex found in Montana was dug up, its leg bone was broken in pieces, and fragments were dissolved in acid in Schweitzer’s laboratory at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. “Cool beans,” she says, looking at the image on the screen.

It was big news indeed last year when Schweitzer announced she had discovered blood vessels and structures that looked like whole cells inside that T. rex bone—the first observation of its kind. The finding amazed colleagues, who had never imagined that even a trace of still-soft dinosaur tissue could survive. After all, as any textbook will tell you, when an animal dies, soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscle and skin decay and disappear over time, while hard tissues like bone may gradually acquire minerals from the environment and become fossils. Schweitzer, one of the first scientists to use the tools of modern cell biology to study dinosaurs, has upended the conventional wisdom by showing that some rock-hard fossils tens of millions of years old may have remnants of soft tissues hidden away in their interiors. “The reason it hasn’t been discovered before is no right-thinking paleontologist would do what Mary did with her specimens. We don’t go to all this effort to dig this stuff out of the ground to then destroy it in acid,” says dinosaur paleontologist Thomas Holtz Jr., of the University of Maryland. “It’s great science.” The observations could shed new light on how dinosaurs evolved and how their muscles and blood vessels worked. And the new findings might help settle a long-running debate about whether dinosaurs were warmblooded, coldblooded—or both.

Meanwhile, Schweitzer’s research has been hijacked by “young earth” creationists, who insist that dinosaur soft tissue couldn’t possibly survive millions of years. They claim her discoveries support their belief, based on their interpretation of Genesis, that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Of course, it’s not unusual for a paleontologist to differ with creationists. But when creationists misrepresent Schweitzer’s data, she takes it personally: she describes herself as “a complete and total Christian.” On a shelf in her office is a plaque bearing an Old Testament verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I am not superstitious, but I do love this passage.

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Steve... the podium is yours. Damn good research!

Harry Watley Thursday, November 1st 2012 at 3:55PM

Ms. Lee,

I see you have done some traveling and you have out grown some things you once embraced, am I right. You say you love intelligence. I do as well.
Then tell me. In your travels have discover that prophets are racially different. In other words, Mohammed was an Arab. Moses was a Jew and I am a Black American. All three of us are racially different. Do you know why we must be racially different?

But, first answer the question. Have you discovered that prophets are racially different? Are you still a 5 percenter?

Steve Williams Thursday, November 1st 2012 at 4:04PM

Hello Harry,

Earl has asked:

"Is the belief systems of the masses based upon empirical, scienctific knowledge, rational thinking or the superstitous teaching of man; that would include history books on religion(s) and theology actors and historical figures of ancient?"

It would be more interesting to hear your answer to Earl's question than to hear your same old tired question we've been hearing for years now.

Steve Williams Thursday, November 1st 2012 at 8:44PM

Harry, Blog your own question. Earl's is a different question. Prove me wrong.

Harry Watley Thursday, November 1st 2012 at 8:54PM

Steve,

I am not up to playing games! You prove me wrong first, dumb!

Steve Williams Thursday, November 1st 2012 at 10:12PM

Look stupid ass! The question was not about prophets must match their own race! You answer the question stupid ass!

Harry Watley Friday, November 2nd 2012 at 12:27AM

I have answered the question. The question was whether for the masses religion was superstitous of on science. I said I can not speak for the masses since prophets are racially different I can only speak for Black Americans. Using Black America's own religion LIFE I know the genuine religions are all based on facts which is science.

So, what part of my answer don't you understand?

Steve Williams Friday, November 2nd 2012 at 12:38AM

You did not! You did not answer the question of the belief of the masses! You said "I can not speak for the masses since prophets are racially different I can only speak for Black Americans."

Steve Williams Friday, November 2nd 2012 at 12:42AM

And more Harry, you spoke only for yourself!

Steve Williams Friday, November 2nd 2012 at 1:11AM

If I am wrong Harry then tell me who has cosigned your spokespersonship?
