No way will you ever receive an acceptable explanation. Barnyard BOb -- Pac sez: Well Bob, let me try to give them both an acceptable explanation. O.K. Rah here it is: Loosing a few people from things like this just isn't very important in the big scheme of things. Corrie, your missionary supporters started it so I'll finish it. Your ancient faith and the science worlds' methodical faith remind me of the tale of "four blind men and an elephant." Each constantly argues about the discoveries he's made over at "his tree" or "his snake" without considering the possibility that the two are connected. Just what makes a God anyway? A God, IMHO, is nothing more than a relative comparison between greatly disparate phenomenon. You are a God relative to the ants you smash everyday on the sidewalk. Relative to the local tribal natives they frequently encountered, the great Conquistadors were, by relative terms Gods. In fact, they were often mistaken for such; ie Cortez at the Aztec shores in the 1500's. Walking on water with their magnificent ships and then striding into the village, unafraid of anything, mounted on their previously unseen horses, and sitting in their marvelous suits of armor (some of those things resembled the craftsmanship of finely fitted Mercedes Benz autos; like the suits on display at the Tower of London.) ....Why they couldn't possibly be anything else but Gods. In the 1500's this effect was used to convert peoples all over the Spanish empire under the sanction of the Pope (your missionary friends do the same thing in the third world. They wow the locals with their beads and trinkets, while taking credit for the short-field feats of the Cessna 206.) The Hubble telescope combined with other ground instruments and spacecraft has made it apparent that "outer space" is anything but empty. We keep on discovering more and more structure. It's clear to me that relative to you dweebs this structure is part of a greater grand design (although we'll never know in our lifetimes what it is.) But tunneling-electron microscope images can give us a clue. You zealots continue to try to convert the whole world into your recent religion not realizing that evolution and science are the other side of the God coin that you myopically stare at. Blank and White, Who's right, who's wrong translations from more than 2000 years ago don't cut it. As usual the truth lies in middle. This bit of wisdom will cost you a mandatory/voluntary contribution to the "Church in the Air." which I'm founding in about five minutes. pacplyer Reverand and High Captain of the holy Airwaves |

Not surprisingly, Cap'n Rich S. came up with a jpeg of a '50's era
magazine describing the technique in detail. In brief, fly turns around a point while the passenger winches down a bag on a looong clothesline. Keep flying in circles until the ground crew empties/fills it, then crank it back up. Then go fly straight and level for a while with the windows open.....urk. Big John wrote in message . .. Have heard about the rope trick also. Seached the Internet and didn't find anything. Have passed the problem to some friends. Will see what they can come up with. If I had to guess, I'd say it happened many many years ago with some of those olden birds. Big John Question, though. I had always thought it was missionary pilots, but perhaps not -- who perfected the art of flying around in circles trailing a rope in order to drop off and pick up things from the ground? I can't find any references to the technique. What the heck would I enter in a google search? |

The faith-based beliefs of any religion, including Christianity, are not verifiable by definition. Belief in the existence of God, gods, heaven, or hell is faith-based.

Check out Proverbs 14:1. I think looking in a mirror and checking out Zealot 101 would be more appropriate. From the Miriam Webster dictionary Zealot - a zealous person; especially : a fanatical partisan |

The odds of winning an argument against a theistic zealot... or an atheist are about equal. I've never thought of myself as a zealot. The flycorvair guy, now HE'S a zealot. (Have to try to keep homebuilding involved in the thread somehow, right?) Someone has said, arguing on the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win....you're still retarded. That's as may be. I've never claimed to be the smartest guy on this spinning rock. But as a Christian, it's my duty to "be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks the reason for the hope" that I have. (1 Peter 3:15) And somewhere up this thread, someone DID ask. How about a controversial binary file instead to fill the bandwidth wasted on such unwinnable matters? Because then we'd be booted to a different server, silly! You can talk all kinds of OT trash, but don't post pics! Corrie There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those that understand binary, and those who don't. |
