Why does the Bible, on its first page of Genesis, state that God separated the waters above from the waters below? Newer editions of the Bible may have removed this!!! My old RSV version states it CLEARLY. My newer Good News Bible removed those words entirely. Jason at Archaix dot com could have the answer. He maintains that we're in a simulation. He calls it the Simulacrum and asserts we live under a vapor canopy. The Great Flood was caused by a collapse of the vapor canopy. The fantastic part of all this is that he takes NOTHING from the internet. He's got hundreds of old books and gets everything from those old books. He's got a lot of vids on YT, also has his own website. I prefer to watch him on YT. It's surprising they haven't removed him. On YT search "Archaix".

Thanks for the information. The Scientism of our day has, as a departure point, a complete rejection of all models tied to religious belief or even cycles of cataclysm (like Cuvier) that violate their models (evolution is a clear example, long ages, etc). People don't appreciate just how religiously-philosophical much of 'the science' actually is.

Interesting!

I am a Buddhist and I have been always annoyed when the Dalai Lama was giving credit to "science". Even if that time nobody was speaking of the new religion "Scientism". I never trusted science.

And I believe that the discoveries that have made our lives more comfortable came from technicians, not "scientists".

But the level of lies you are showing is enormous! This is not even a new religion. It's superstition to an ininmaginable extension!

Thank you. As you say the Scientism is religiously based. I have a copy of Copernicus' work, maybe 20 pages out of the 300 or so actually discusses some proofs for his ideas, but none are physical. They are all thought experiments, some are astrological but don't support heliocentricity necessarily. Why the Dalai Lama, or the modern Popes put such 'faith' in 'science' is really absurd. As you said the modern applications and systems we use are technologies, they are not based on maths or science for the most part, just engineering and some common sense principles. Take the 'law of inertia' which sounds really sciency, but simply means that an object will continue in its present state until acted upon - something I am sure early humans fully understood without making it a 'law'. You can cover that simple fact with layers of maths but the simple idea remains what it is.

Layers and layers of big words, theories, or even plain lies, no proof whatsoever...they have given us this garbage everywhere (medicine included of course). I keep on telling to my 52 children that Buddha told us "never take the things are told you for granted, not even my words, check in the same way a jeweler would check a ring you want to sell him". I hope they will learn real critical thinking!

Wise words. Evolution is a classic case of big words, long sentences and no proofs. I used to believe what I was told about goo to the zoo and us, until I studied it independently - looking at DNA for eg or the utter complexity of an eco-system. Evolution is just a philosophical belief looking for some facts. So much of science is the same. Socrates was murdered by the Athenian state because he asked people to think for themselves and not blindly accept that 12 'Gods' ruled the world.

When I asked at school where could I see the fossils showing the link of evolution, and they answered me that " it has not been yet found", I started to think that science was a fairy tale.

Fossils disprove the religion of evolution as does microbiology and DNA. But facts are not issues for Scientism. They will just declare that fossils, DNA etc support their religion! Even the frauds like Piltdown man are now marketed as 'science correcting itself and proving that science discovers truth', even though it was a 40 year fraud hidden in the basement of the British Museum away from inspection in a locked box.

They started with the French Revolution, the Goddess of Reason, and the propaganda against religion grew more and more.

What I don't understand is why are they importing millions of Muslims in the West? Are they so stupid that they can't understand that they too will be wiped away by the jihad?

Maybe it's just hubris. They really think to be gods.
