Why do you have so much trouble accepting and admitting that everything you have claimed over the past 5 years on this site are your beliefs, your theories? It's very troubling that you are unable and unwilling to recognize this, and it would do wonders for your credibility and chance of being taken seriously if you did. I think by this point, the actual content of your theories have been discussed ad nauseam. The fact remains that everything you claim are based on a couple fundamental assumptions. Namely, that 1) god exists, 2) aliens exist, and that 3) everything in the bible is true. Before you can successfully create a comprehensive theory based on these things, you need to prove they are true. The fact remains that you have no provided ONE piece of indisputable proof that any 1 of these 3 assumptions are true. I invite you to do so, but you have no done so to this point.
It is your belief that everything in the bible is true. You have stated this numerous times. It logically follows from this that everything theory you base this on is also a belief. You cannot label something as an "understanding" or a "truth" simply because you think you've linked a few things to one another using your own interpretations of things. You interpret the bible as being about the supernatural--Lines like "god came down from heaven," You interpret heaven as another planet. But how can you possibly independently verify this to be true? Your main response is that it coincides with things we see today in science. But you need to realize that you have searched through the science to specifically fit to your theory. There is certainly plenty of science that conflicts with these ideas, and many of us have provided evidence to show that. But that is exactly what a debate is, it's backing up your belief or theory with evidence. What makes your theory correct and our theory incorrect? You cannot validly claim that there is no evidence for evolution. There is 150 years of research. You claim that proponents of evolution are reaching to come to their conclusions. But you refuse to acknowledge that you are doing the same exact thing.

But you refuse to acknowledge that you are doing the same exact thing.
Finally, it would do you a great deal of good to gain a better understanding of science. I don't mean this in a confrontational way, because I actually feel sad for the amount of time and effort you've put into this, but a lot of the things you say when you're talking about scientific concepts are not correct. This was most visible during your discussion of DNA in relations to the Starchild. You truly butchered the analysis and interpretations of the DNA analysis. A lot of what you said were things you made up. Your understanding of the human brain also leaves a lot to be desired. You make all these claims about things like the Pineal gland, action potentials and electrical activity of the brain, and specific neurological experiments, but you don't explain how these things relate to any of your claims. It's clear that you do not have a firm grasp on our current understanding of the nervous system.
Your best proof for everything you've ever said comes from 1) the bible and 2) subjective testimony (abductions, supernatural abilities). If you even cared to learn the theory of evolution, you'd very quickly realize that there's a whole heck of a lot more evidence for evolution. How would you respond if somebody told you that all greek mythology was true, and they based their belief on 1) The Odyssey and 2) testominy from people over the years claiming to have witnessed greek gods. Would you believe them?

The findings, detailed today (Aug. 1) in the journal Science, come from the most complete analysis of the male sex chromosome, or the Y chromosome, to date. The results overturn earlier research, which suggested that men's most recent common ancestor lived just 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
Despite their overlap in time, ancient "Adam" and ancient "Eve" probably didn't even live near each other, let alone mate.
"Those two people didn't know each other," said Melissa Wilson Sayres, a geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the study.
I'm going to post my conclusion here first, just to make sure you don't miss it: Sorry bud, your entire theory has been debunked. Turns out you were wrong about everything. I feel bad since you've put so much time into it, but no matter what you say, it's a documented fact that we have proven each and every aspect of your theory wrong. There is absolutely nothing you can say or do to change this fact. Unfortunately every single last one of your claims has been refuted by redundant facts. So, since that's over with, either we can speak about evolution, or you can start a new thread about your *officially debunked* beliefs, hopes, and faiths. If you decide to respond to this message, then I'll assume that you have indeed given up and accept that you were wrong all alone, no matter what you say. Sorry again. Now, to the meat.
Once again, you fail to acknowledge the crux of my argument. You base everything on your interpretation of what's written in the bible, and you've done everything except address my questions, because you know you cannot. All I have to do to prove your ENTIRE theory wrong, is claim that Adam and Eve never existed in the way the bible portrayed them. They were merely metaphors for our ancestors. There is evidence to back this claim up:
I'm sorry but just this singular piece of scientific research completely rips apart your entire theory. These are experts in the field of DNA analysis. There is nothing you can say or do to prove this wrong. The difference here is that while I'm posting credible scientific research, you post blogs and opinions. I'd love for you to try and provide me just one piece of evidence to throw doubt on evolutionary theory. You claim there's no proof for macro-evolution. Well, here it is: Evidence of Macro-Evolution --And I DARE you to bring up that load of BS about our DNA not being pure, and having inversions and fusions. You have no idea what that even means, and you have not provided one piece of evidence to support it.

Regarding the quote you posted about Azazel and the Ecologist Ellis Silver--Just because somebody else happens to believe the same thing as you does NOT mean you were on the right track. That's an illogical claim. Blogs also don't go through any type of peer-review system or fact-checking that over 100 years of evolutionary research has been subject to. The same applies to your claim about Ellis Silver. You really think that since you and he have similar beliefs, it means you're right? You claimed that there are 3 options, either him/you are a mind reader, you know each other, or you're correct. Those are not the only options. There a 4th option, that you were both wrong. If you want to be taken seriously, you have to consider that option.
You cannot claim that PhD-trained theologians are wrong. There's just no merit to this statement. You think that they just assumed the bible was full of metaphors because they couldn't understand it? But you do, right? I'm sorry but that's a false statement. You do not need any knowledge of the supernatural to interpret any religious text. You just think you do.

To the OP, I suggest you lock or shut down this thread, because a fork has been stuck in it. There is nothing productive left to talk about. The trolls were revealed, the evidence was presented, and the thread has officially become a dead end. Please do so before any more bandwidth gets wasted.

Maybe you guys will realise how wrong you are one day and you can look through this thread to address your past ignorance and arrogance.
Giants exsisted whether you believe it or not. Don't be so naive.

Could you perhaps say the same? You have been debunked up one side, and down the other by many of us, yet refuse t acknowledge this. I thus wonder if you might one day become aware enough to get how wrong you are

One only needs to read your posts in this thread, and your old evolution thread to see your intellectual honesty.
"Don't expect me to try and combat your faulty science when the tools used to back it up are often fraudulent or simply not science"
Dude, it's been a month since I first heard you make those claims and I'm still waiting for you to prove, or support that position.
The attitudes you project on others are merely your own.
