You are so right Brother. This man is far from acting crazy or manic. His first inclination upon learning of this impending disaster is to be on hand to help the hundreds or maybe thousands that might be affected by it. His first thoughts are not for himself but for others who might need his help. Compassion is by far one of the highest vibrating emotions. It is just another one of those outstanding traits to be admired in the human race.
PS I have only read a few posts by you but I liked what you said so much that I added you as a friend. Hope that is ok with you.
ah um Karen, I think you are right about alot of things, but there are some people who are truly bipolar and are not under medical surveillance... we must choose very carefully when it come to getting advise dealing in aspects of this nature on the internet, it is true, there are some people walking around claiming to be jesus christ and the spirit ect, it is not to say I do not or will not befriend these people myself in public or on the net but rest assured there comes a time when their perfectness come to lay judgment down on you.
this is only a warning to you so that you may know some things that are to come in your future, no I am not a palm reader or a psychic or any of that jazz, just a normal functioning human.

If that is true then how did mankind start this whole God thing in the first place. There was no one around to "preach" the word to early man yet he still felt compelled to first be in awe of the power around him and then to give thanks to that power. No one told him to do this. In truth I feel that the disbeliefe of God is what is learned and the belief in God in inherent in our DNA.
In my opinion the concept of god came about because man could not explain certain things that were happening so he attributed it to some divine unseen power. Of course someone was smart enough to turn this god business to his advantage and take control of everyone back then (and now too) and whether he's human/alien/porcupine is irrelevant.
Similarly how did superstitions come to be? No one went around preaching about them. People just invented them in their heads. Do you actually get 7 years of bad luck when you break a mirror? Absolutely not. Do you have bad luck if a black cat crosses your path? Not any more or any less than a white cat crossing your path.
Do you get punished if you 'disobey' god? Apparently not, which is why people get away with murder these days. But we get punished after we die you might say? Well there's no proof of that either other than a storybook where sinners burn in a lake of fire. Quite similar to a bogeyman eating little children if they don't go to bed on time or finish their supper.
Keep them in line, keep them scared and they will do anything you say without question no matter how idiotic or senseless.
It's all about fear and control. Break out of that and you will find you can do anything and be anything you want to be rather than confining yourself in a box because some spook in the clouds said so in a book.

Originally posted by Cosmic.Artifact I wonder what type of scientist Michio Kaku is ?
He has a PhD in physics, according to his Wiki page.
As to what kind of scientist, he's generally called a "theoretical physicist", which pretty much translates to "Guy who makes things up". He seems a pretty smart guy, but I have issues with "scientists" who study the unprovable. I've heard many theories from Dr. Kaku, but haven't seen much along the lines of proof.
Of course, I have only a casual interest, so there may be proof I haven;t seen.edit on 6-2-2011 by subject x because: typo

I saw this vid
She does not look up at all while the camera is on her expect when she holds a long note and then her eyes are closed. Of course the camera is not always on her. The crowd does seem to be looking up a lot. Maybe we should be more careful what we post.

Actually its in Wholeness and the Implicate Order written by physisist David Bohm. About Gods or Sources interest in us that is my personal opinion. But our size compared to all visable matter. Thats not my opinion and we are not mere gnats. At least I am not. If thats how you feel about yourself well thats your own opinion and you are certainly entitled to it!
P.S. I dont hear voices in my head. Do you?

Actually I dont buy into the whole organized relegion. I dont believe in a spook in the clouds and boy are you way off if you think I am in any kind of box.
I have had a rather informal education in Quantum physics and I think that science will have something to say about this someday. Maybe not God but a force or directive or something that operates within the heart of the atom, within its nucleus, that gives mass where none existed. The Higgs Boson looks like a very likely canditate if they can prove its there.
Okay, I'm hesitant but here goes....
He says there is going to be a huge meteor that will hit the earth with a bunch of smaller ones following it.

OMG!!! I forgot to tell yall about one of the weirdest things that happened. I wasn't going to post this because I was trying to keep things as private as possible but I have to if I'm to tell this story. My husband is a firefighter. The first night in the hospital he had what he calls a 'dream' (what the docs would call a delusion) that there was a fire in the hospital. He broke down the wall and woke his 'neighbor' up saying that there was a fire. They took him down and gave him a couple of injections. He says that in this 'dream' he really smelled smoke.
When the maintenance guys came to fix the wall the next day they said that the spot where he broke a whole in the wall was bad wiring that had arched.... basically they said that the whole place may have burnt down if he wouldn't have done that.
I know it sounds crazy. My husband said that if he wasn't the one that had done it he wouldn't have believed it himself. Just writing it makes me think "no one will believe this".
