The first murder does not have to be in a certain phase, any phase will do, so the odds are 1, not 29.5/1.
Only the second has to be in a certain phase (the same as whatever the hell the first happened to be in).
Unless you are giving priority to a certain phase, but there is no valid reason to do that. Any phase is acceptable, as long as they match in both instances.edit on 20-12-2012 by humphreysjim because: (no reason given)

Break the problem into pieces. Calculating the probability of multiple events is a matter of breaking the problem down into separate probabilities.
What is the probability of rolling two consecutive fives on a six-sided die?
The probability of rolling one five is 1/6, and the probability of rolling another five with the same die is also 1/6.

Multiply the probability of each event by one another. This will give you the probability of multiple events occurring one after another.
What is the probability of rolling two consecutive fives on a six-sided die?
The probability of both events is 1/6.
This gives us 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 or .027 or 2.7%.

Now, I could be just looking for clues or drawing a huge coincidence here but the show talked about how they would do a children's sacrifice, usually at the end of a cycle. The sacrifices were done as a sacrifice or bloodletting as a re-birthing of a new age. I don't know, it just seemed weird to me, all these things tying together and the more I look into it..the more it seems ritualistic and not what they want us to see.

Who says there is no priority to what phase the moon is in?

Seriously you can strain your brain as hard as you like but your method of calculation is off.
Originally posted by FriedBabelBroccoliIt does not matter what the first phase is you can change it to what are the odds the first and second occurrences will be in the same phase?
Originally posted by FriedBabelBroccoliLets try this again. . . The first phase had a 1/29.5 chance to occur in that phase, the second also has that 1/29.5 chance however the odds that they would occur one after another on the same phase is 1/29.5*1/29.5 . . .

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.[a]
The tomb is the last stage of Christ’s dying through the whole course of his earthly life; it is the sign of his supreme sacrifice for us and for our salvation.

The Central Planners overcome the odds by their planning of certain events timed with cosmic events or numerology.

You're directing this at the wrong person, I have little interest in pseudo-science.

How come on a conspiracy website....
In a conspiracy forum....
There is about 10 people on the very first page of every thread like this calling it coincidence, nothing, bull#$%, just shut up already.
I don't understand. You come to this website and don't add anything of substance to the topics, and even go out of your way to attempt to argument bait and misdirect the discussion. You know who you are.
Why are you people even here? And WHY is every single thread becoming like this???edit on 20-12-2012 by Konduit because: (no reason given)

The other much more nefarious theory is of course that these young men were used and or or set up by much more evil entities.
Either way it is quite creepy. In retrospect I wish I could change my thread title, but it's too late. Perhaps a mod who finds this interesting could help out.
Keep the theories and analysis coming, and thanks for your stars and flags!

Exactly. This site has become infiltrated by the sheeple. It's no better than the comment section on CNN or FauxNews.
People are talking about conspiracies on a conspiracy website? Say it ain't so!!!!
In Old Testament times, Nabonidus (555-539 BC), the last king of Babylon, built Tayma, Arabia as a center of Moon-god worship. Segall stated, "South Arabia's stellar religion has always been dominated by the Moon-god in various variations." Many scholars have also noticed that the Moon-god's name "Sin" is a part of such Arabic words as "Sinai," the "wilderness of Sin," etc. When the popularity of the Moon-god waned elsewhere, the Arabs remained true to their conviction that the Moon-god was the greatest of all gods. While they worshipped 360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Moon-god was the chief deity. Mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.
This is what made it the most sacred site of Arabian paganism. In 1944, G. Caton Thompson revealed in her book, The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha, that she had uncovered a temple of the Moon-god in southern Arabia. The symbols of the crescent moon and no less than twenty-one inscriptions with the name Sin were found in this temple. An idol which may be the Moon-god himself was also discovered. This was later confirmed by other well-known archeologists.
The evidence reveals that the temple of the Moon-god was active even in the Christian era. Evidence gathered from both North and South Arabia demonstrate that Moon-god worship was clearly active even in Muhammad's day and was still the dominant cult. According to numerous inscriptions, while the name of the Moon-god was Sin, his title was al-ilah, i.e. "the deity," meaning that he was the chief or high god among the gods. As Coon pointed out, "The god Il or Ilah was originally a phase of the Moon God." The Moon-god was called al- ilah, i.e. the god, which was shortened to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave to their children. For example, both Muhammad's father and uncle had Allah as part of their names.
For those matters then which appertain unto the Moon, such as the Invocation of Spirit, the Works of Necromancy, and the recovery of stolen property, it is necessary that the Moon should be in a Terrestrial Sign, viz.: Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn.
For love, grace, and invisibility, the Moon should be in a Fiery Sign, viz.: Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.

Book One
For hatred, discord, and destruction, the Moon should be in a Watery Sign, viz.: Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces.
For experiments of a peculiar nature, which cannot be classed under any certain head, the Moon should be in an Airy Sign, viz.: Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius.
But if these things seem unto thee difficult to accomplish, it will suffice thee merely to notice the Moon after her combustion, or conjunction with the Sun, espe- cially just when she quits his beams and appeareth visible. For then it is good to make all experiments for the construction and operation of any matter. That is why the time from the New unto the Full Moon is proper for performing any of the experiments of which we have spoken above. But in her decrease or wane it is good for War, Distur- bance, and Discord. Likewise the period when she is almost deprived of light, is proper for experiments of invisibility, and of Death.
Human sacrifices are one of the principal characteristic traits of Devil-worship, but not the only one. There are in addition other devilish practices which are based on the idea that the Deity takes delight in witnessing tortures, and the height of abomination is reached in cannibalism, which, as anthropology teaches us, is not due to scarcity of food, but can always be traced back to some religious superstition, especially to the notion that he who partakes of the heart or brain of his adversary acquires the courage, strength, and other virtues of the slain man.
The last remnants of the idea that the wrath of the Deity must be appeased by blood, and that we acquire spiritual powers by eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the victim still linger with us to-day in the medieval

interpretations of certain church dogmas, and will only disappear before the searching light of a fearless and consistent religious reformation. We must remember, however, that certain superstitions, at early stages of the religious development of mankind, are as unavoidable as the various errors which science and philosophy pass through in their natural evolution.
Religion always begins with fear, and the religion of savages may directly be defined as "the fear of evil and the various efforts made to escape evil." Though the fear of evil in the religions of civilised nations plays no longer so prominent a part, we yet learn through historical investigations that at an early stage of their development almost all worship was paid to the powers of evil, who were regarded with special awe and reverence.
Actual Devil-worship continues until the positive power of good is recognised and man finds out by experience that the good, although its progress may be ever so slow, is always victorious in the end. It is natural that the power that makes for righteousness is by and by recognised as the supreme ruler of all powers, and then the power of evil ceases to be an object of awe; it is no longer worshipped and not even propitiated, but struggled against, and the confidence prevails of a final victory of justice, right, and truth.
