An elongated rock, carved to enhance its resemblance to a snake, offers evidence of ritualistic or religious behavior 70,000 years ago in Africa. An elongated rock, carved to enhance its resemblance to a snake, offers evidence of ritualistic or religious behavior 70,000 years ago in Africa.
The discovery of carvings on a snake-shaped rock along with 70,000-year-old spearheads nearby has dramatically pushed back the earliest evidence for ritual behavior, or what could be called religion. The finding, which researchers have yet to formally publish, comes from a cave hidden in the Tsodilo Hills of Botswana, a mecca of sorts for the local people, who call it the Mountain of the Gods.

No, dear. You heard it HERE first.

In my biog of John Lennon, NOT I might add published in America, but published in 1990 in the UK and the Czech Republic, I argue for an end to animal slaughter for food and/or clothing and urge Parliament in the UK, which is where I live, to ban animal slaughter altogether.

True, what the drug companies and other multinationals are doing to Third World countries should not happen to a dog (pardon the expression)

But do not discount the equal tragedies which occur in industrialized, so-called First World nations where inequality is even greater. There are people who must live with tumours until they expire from pain or blockage simply because the medical care in the West, when and where existent, has become lethargic and uncaring. Possibly because we now share universal guilt and suffering. Thus what is caused by the West in the West is marginalised because of what is happening in the Third World.

It is a funny old world!

We appear to be a group of people out to get something for ourselves. We want to go to Heaven, we want to keep from going to hell. Too many Christians say "If I get to Heaven someday." For Pete's sakes, if you are a Christian and even you don't know if you are going to Heaven or not, why bother. And top that off with "I'm going to Heaven and you're not", that just ices the cake.
Then how about the people with the 150 things you have to do to be saved. Where do they come up with all that? IF GOD IS ABSOLUTE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, (AND HE IS). THEN GOD DOES NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS. The Thief on the cross did not GET BAPTIZED, DID NOT GO TO CHURCH, DID NOT SAY HE WAS SORRY, DID NOT ASK FORGIVENESS. HE ONLY SHOWED HIS FAITH BY SAYING "REMEMBER ME". "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."
We need to express to others-the unconditional love of God, not the conditions we want to place upon them. ITS GODS LOVE NOT OUR EXPECTATIONS AGREE?

Example 1: Say you are standing with a chest-high boulder in front of you. Rather than jumping up from rest, it is easier to climb on top by first performing a small hop and jumping out of the "bounce." This is very intuitively understood when practiced.

Example 2: A punch can connect with greater force by actually jerking backwards briefly just before impact rather than following through. I am not a martial artist, but again this seems intuitive when attempted. You can feel the difference. I can also break more solidly in a game of pool by using this technique.

So the question: clearly this phenomenon exists, and I would like to know what the explanation is in terms the physics involved. It seems to me to be a recoil force of some sort, but I'm having trouble understanding why it doesn't work in the opposite direction. How does pulling back on a striking blow make it stronger? How does jumping out of a downward motion result in greater lift than jumping from rest?

Thx

Why are there some christians that judge people by saying "You will burn in hell" or " You are a sinful, evil person" even though their bible says "judge not lest ye be judged"?
P.S. I'm NOT saying ALL christians are like that, just some.

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[d]; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one."Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'[e]? If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?"

Why is it so hard for Christians to envision that they have a divine self, and jesus said he was set apart to do these things, in no ways deminishes our higher soul's diivinity. Jesus says we are divine to here, why argue with him. We may not be define but our soul self seems to by jesus words. This is very gnostic
