If Thoth were the true GOD, then he would be venerated or at least known through generation after generation worldwide.
It is no accident that the Bible has primacy over The Book of Thoth.

I'm sure this thread will gain much attention from various groups posting various opinions for various reasons.
I believe in the theory of evolution, but I believe as well in the allegorical truth of creation theory. In other words, I believe that evolution, including the principle of natural selection, is one of the tools used by God to create mankind. Mankind is then a participant in the creation of the universe itself, so that we have a closed loop. I believe that there is a level on which science and religious metaphor are mutually compatible
I've argued a very similar stance in some of my threads and in thread replies on similar topics.
Flame on.
Biography
Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., helped to discover the genetic misspellings that cause cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's disease, and a rare form of premature aging called progeria. A pioneer gene hunter, he led the Human Genome Project from 1993 until 2008. For his revolutionary contributions to genetic research, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007, and the National Medal of Science in 2009. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, and has a longstanding interest in the interface between science and faith. He currently serves as the Director of the National Institutes of Health. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, and in his spare time he enjoys riding a motorcycle and playing guitar.
Politics, you say?
What is The Bible? What does it concern itself with primarily?
The whole intent is the subject of sovereignty and the laws.
It details the challenges made to GOD's sovereignty and his one simple law as detailed in the first book of Genesis.
Then it goes on to detail how man when he took sovereignty into his hands had to have more laws.
So GOD laid out 10. But, then man wanted more and more because the truth is that man has not a clue how to rule himself.
Then it progressed on to where man needed judges over the 10,s the 50's and so GOD mocked them and made them have the most onerous of laws to keep. The more laws they demanded the more he allowed them to have.

Dumb mofos think smart mofos are crazy mofos. Lack of comprehension does not always mean lack of intelligence. It just says you speak C++ better than you speak Java. That does not make one better than the other. There will come a day when even the "dumbest" of people has a moment to shine. And without that moment, a lot of "smart" people might have been very sorry.
I bet I can find at least three people in his life who think he is a raging idiot.

I'm going with the GENIUS. They see things we don't.

This is because dumb mofos think he is a crazy mofo (or a raging idiot) because they can't understand him. Get it now?edit on 30-12-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
