i'm just goign to say......


what if in the very likely possibility the bible is wrong! This would come off as you not caring about people right?

See, I don't understand how one can claim to be an ordained minister or reverend or rabbi or anything else and one, doubt the existence of God, two make statements like "what if the Bible was wrong?". Men of the cloth USUALLY aren't the one's poking holes in others faith regardless of which faith it is. People who become reverends and such do so because they have FAITH in what religion they are apart of. So you must be a "reverend" of some other religion other than Christianity. For how can you preach the word of God if you don't believe what it says?

As for the Bible being wrong..... many have tried to disprove it and all have failed. I think even Darwin read the Bible to try to disprove it. (Some say he became a Christion on his death bed because of it). So if someone can disprove the Bible I'm all ears.

Or you know I have FAITH because i know exactly what FAITH is. its believeing in something that you can not prove. Since you can't prove the bible that makes it faith. I believe its true but ti could also be very likely it isnt true.

thats what i found.

#1 - There is a persistent myth that that all the clocks in the movie are set to 4:20 (although, certainly all the clocks on the wall in the pawn shop are set to 4:20). However, in at least two scenes it is obvious that this is not the case. In the "Bonnie Situation" while Jimmy, Vince and Jules are drinking coffee in the kitchen, the clock clearly reads 8:15. Secondly, when Vince and Jules go to retrieve the briefcase, it is "7:22 in the a.m."

#2 - INSECTS Entomologists (scientists who study insects) estimate that the average number of insects for each square mile (2.6 square kilometers) of land equals the total number of people on the earth. Scientists have identified and named more than 11/2 million species of animals. Of these, about 1 million are insects. Entomologists discover from 7,000 to 10,000 new species of insects each year. Some believe there may be from 1 million to 10 million species still undiscovered. In the world of entomology, there are still vast frontiers of knowledge still to be discovered. / HUMANS The Earth's population reached 6.5 billion on Saturday, February 25, 2006.

#3 - Flute: This silver instrument has a high, bright sound. Air is blown into a small hole to produce its joyful sound. It is made of metal, even though it is in the woodwind family. Long ago it used to be made of wood. The instrument is found in cultures throughout the world. It is one of the oldest and most popular instruments in the history of music.

#5 - There are approximately 650 skeletal muscles in the human body

#6 - 4 seconds

#7 - As with many inventions, the flush toilet did not suddenly spring into existence, but was the result of a long chain of minor improvements. Therefore, instead of a single name and date, there follows a list of significant contributors to the history of the device.

Note: due to the lack of information from other cultures, this chronology is regrettably Anglocentric. Additional information about early flush toilet technology in other parts of the world would be welcome.

* Ancient world: there are remains of flushing toilets, both private and communal, from several ancient civilisations around the world, dating from 2600 BC onwards.
* Circa 26th century BC: flush toilets were first used in the Indus Valley Civilization. The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a flush toilet in almost every house, attached to a sophisticated sewage system.
* Circa 15th century BC: flushing toilets were found in the remains of the Minoan city of Akrotiri.
* Roman Empire: some examples include those at Hadrian's Wall in Britain. With the fall of the Roman empire, the technology was lost.
* 1596: Sir John Harington is said to have invented 'The Ajax', a flush toilet, for Elizabeth I of England. His design was ridiculed in England, but was adopted in France under the name Angrez. The design had a flush valve to let water out of the tank, and a wash-down design to empty the bowl.
* 1738: a valve-type flush toilet was invented by JF Brondel.
* 1775: Alexander Cummings invented the S-trap (British patent no. 814?), still used today, that used standing water to seal the outlet of the bowl, preventing the escape of foul air from the sewer. His design had a sliding valve in the bowl outlet above the trap.
* 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'.
* 1778: Joseph Bramah invented a hinged valve or 'crank valve' that sealed the bottom of the bowl, and a float valve system for the flush tank. His design was used mainly on boats.
* 1819: Albert Giblin received British patent 4990 for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", a siphon discharge system.
* 1852: J. G. Jennings invented a wash-out design with a shallow pan emptying into an S-trap.
* 1857: the first American patent for a toilet, the 'plunger closet', was granted.
* 1860: The first watercloset was installed on the European continent and was imported from England. It has been installed in the rooms of Queen Victoria in castle Ehrenburg (Coburg, Germany) and she was the only one who was allowed to use it.
* 1880s: Thomas Crapper's plumbing company built flush toilets of Giblin's design. After the company received a royal warrant, Crapper's name became synonymous with flush toilets. Although he was not the original inventor, Crapper popularised the siphon system for emptying the tank, replacing the earlier floating valve system which was prone to leaks. Some of Crapper's designs were made by Thomas Twyford. The similarity between Crapper's name and the much older word crap is merely a coincidence.
* 1885: Thomas Twyford built the first one-piece china toilet using the flush-out siphon design by J. G. Jennings.
* 1886: an early jet flush toilet was manufactured by the Beaufort Works in Chelsea, England.

#8 - Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer.

bingo! you win a smug 'i'm rapture ready' bumper sticker!


BTW Jay, Darwin was a committed christian until the death of his daughter (long after he had written Origin of Species - even Darwin had no problem reconciling his religion with evolution). He lost his faith as a result and died an atheist.
