Re: Hotema on Origin of Man
MH,
I did not intend to offend anyone by my comments.
NON TAKEN, WEALL JUST PASS ON OUR OWN COMMENTS...
The truth is it is impossible to determine the "author" of Hotema's books
I ASSUME THE PASTOR WROTE THEM ALL AND BEING A FREE MASON HE WAS JUST PASSING ON ALLOT OF WHAT HE LEARNED FROM THEIR EDUCATION.
and you're correct, the subjects of his writing is difficult to understand.
THEY CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR MOST PEOPLE, BECAUSE THE SUBJECTS OFTEN ARE STRANGE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON...THOSE INTO THEIR RELIGION ARE WARNED TO NOT READ THESE BOOKS, OTHERWISE YOU COULD BE DEPRESSED FRO MANY YEARS FROM WHAT YOU LEARN.
I was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico years ago when a series of storms came by. In one of the rain storms it literally starting raining small fish. Not for an instant did I think those fish were created by the air and sun, but knew a school of baitfish near the surface of the water were caught up in an updraft from the storms and thus it rained fish. This is a fairly common occurance. I'm sure the frogs in dsr's experience came about the same way. The baitfish I saw were small, no great white sharks fell!
---------------------------
NO, THE STORIES OF THE FROGS/REPTILES FALLING IN RAIN ARE USUALLY REFERED TO IN THE MOUNTAIN TOPS AND NOT THE OCEANS....THE STORIES OF RAINING CATS AND DOGS CAME FROM SUCH ANCIOENT STORIES AND AUTHORS SUGGEST THE FROG STORIES WERE IN THE PAST 100 YEARS NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.
SO YES, WHEN THEY SAY CREATURES FELL WITH THE RAIN, THEY ARE SAYING GOD MADE THEM FROM THE AIR...SCIENCE TRIED RECREATING SUCH EXPERIMENTS AND SUCCEEDED WITH MAKING TREE WOOD FROM AIR, BUT I NEVER HEARD OF NEWER EXPERIMENTS, OTHER THAN ALLOT OF CHEMICALS ARE EXTRACTED FROM OUR AIR. START TRECK TRIED TO INTRODUCE US TO THEIR "REPLICATORS" SUGGESTING SCIENCE FICTION COULD CREATE MATTER FROM AIR.
