Genesis V ,
You are too modest, stop wasting our time with your mathematical preambles and tell us the secret of your dribbling skills

[Genesis Veracity]

Since you resorted to that nonsense, I'll take it as a yes.  Thanks, you may be a real thinker.

Dear Genesis V,
  I am member number 1000 on this bulletin board. This figure divided by 60 is 166.6 recurring. As I understand it the number on your shirt when playing for Wigan Athletic in the 1966 F.A. Charity shield cup was 6. Given that the total number of goals you scored while playing for Tayport Amateurs was 3 and that the number of headbands you snapped during that period was also 3, I think we have a lot in common. What some class as nonsense, makes perfect sense to others.

[Genesis Veracity]

Thanks again for the yes, it is quite obvious.

Yogro, the '66 Charity Shield final was Liverpool v Everton. Wigan had to pull out due to a waterlogged pitch (meltwater from somewhere...)

You guys are big on low-grade humor, and small on cogent rebuttals, just the way I like it.

Personally (and others may agree I suspect) I find creationism and it's associated beliefs as relevant to this site as clog dancing and football.

Indeed, a bit of perspicacity might reveal that the latter have arisen as a direct result of the former.

I'm sure most of us would be delighted to get back on track, given the chance.

Hear! Hear! Nigel. I also think that the remark about "cogent rebuttals" is a bit rich, seeing that GV has hardly ever replied to serious questions posed here but has just gone off on yet another preposterous theory of his own.
From a personal point of view, I wish that GV would go off and bother another forum which might be more receptive to his views.
It's no good him saying that he is trying to teach us ignoramuses the secrets of the universe when I think that most of his posts have been received here with either an outraged splutter or a un-suppressed hoot of laughter.  
Jim.

Nice rebuttal, as effective as the others.  You guys just can't stay on point, I guess it's too hard for you.

Au contraire, everyone's point has been made ad nauseam.

No-one here is prepared to acquiesce with the constant pushing of a view of archaeology that just happens, in every respect, to fit in with a fundamentalist Biblical belief. It ain't going to happen. Consider us too stupid if you wish.

So Clog dancing it is until Genuine Veracity can once again be discussed.

[Genesis Veracity]

As I said, you guys just can't stay on the topic which is ancient precession mapping, as embodied in the astronomically-derived dimensions of the Great Pyramid.  You stray so because you have no cogent rebuttal.

By the way, the model for earth history (the Global Flood Model) which I propone, and which is not the subject of this thread, but you brought it up, is corroborated by hundreds of ancient legends from seemingly disparate people groups, the Hebrew account being just one of the many, and the Hebrew account being the one with the most detail.  (It is written like a ship's log, don't you think?)

Pardon me GV, but everything you post appears to be aimed at persuading people that the biblical version of history is the literal truth. Presenting evidence on the basis of a pre-determined agenda ain't exactly what this site's about and will certainly cause people to switch off. I rather think it's happened already.

Cue:
Insult, comprising accusations of general stupidity on the part of everyone else.

[Genesis Veracity]

This thread is about ancient precession mapping of the earth, if you want to talk about the veracity of the Bible, then why don't you start a new thread?

My point is that it most certainly isn't, it's about your larger agenda, as has become obvious to all.

I'm happy to talk about anything relevant to this site but not to be part of a process aimed at proving the truth of Genesis. That's NOT what this site's for. As Jimit indicated, there are plenty of more appropriate forums so why persist in misusing this one?

[Genesis Veracity]

The purpose of this thread is to discuss my finding about how the ancients were able to measure and thereby map the globe, you are the one who obtusely injected Biblical veracity into the discussion, not I.
