I just heard that 61% of all US citizens actually belive that the world
was created in 6 days. I've rarely met anyone who fills the qualifications of that poll, much less a majority of people I've ever discussed the issue with. I grew up in a state where many people are religious, and attended many churches growing up despite not having a strong faith myself, and in discussion after discussion few people believed the "literal Bible" claim. Many religions as a whole see the stories as anecdotes. Many other people believe the stories are roughly true in that the main actors existed, but that things did not come to pass exactly as written. The "made in six days" discussion is a particularly common one, with debate over what a 'day' truly may have been or represented. Point being, as a person of no particular faith living in the U.S. I see the 'religion' here for what it is, and it's a far, far sight from the beliefs of many foreigners who hear that most Americans believe in some sort of god and summarily decide there's some sort of theocracy over here. A 'random sampling' of 1000 people on the phone doesn't change that experience. |

I see that many people here is the United States cannot comprehend the
developments brought on by the Allied bombing campaign against Germany during the Second World War. But over in Germany many such books exist on the subject you Americans find impossible to discuss civily, German disc planes. Over in Germany many books exist on many subjects that are completely stupid and highly xenophobic, especially when America is involved in the subject matter. (Whether it's about the US attacking itself on 9/11, or Emmanuel Todd's utterly ridiculous mercantilist rant about US decline.) |

I do recognize the difference between novels and non-fiction. Tex |

Try a degree in physics with a some quantum physics and you will see that six days is quite reasonable. You will of course need to look at both the single universe theory as well as the contrivance of an infinite number of parallel universes to get it. Catholics make up the other 30% of the US population that believe in creation, but through evolution. |

"robert arndt" wrote in message om... However, what they got must have been a jet design due to AVRO proceeding in that direction. No Vril or Haunebu fell into Allied hands. Admiral Byrd set out in 1947 with a military task force to recon New Schwabenland, find Base 211, and destroy it. He was repulsed. Sightings of Vril and Haunebu type UFOs surfaced all over South America and South Atlantic. U-boats came back montha after V-E day with their cargos missing. Another U-boat was intercepted carrying tons of nothing but liquid mercury. Germany must have secured the ice fortress because no one goes there today. Actually there are two stations on the coast run by Germany and Russia. I think what you're trying to say is that no one has attempted to locate Base 211 or send troops there again. No what he said was the US sent a task force in 1947 which was repulsed. This seems quite clear, lunatic but clear. You're right, no one can since Antarctica has a treaty that specifies no weapons nor weapon testing, no armed troops. If the Germans still reside there underground they are safe. Apart from having died from cold and starvation in mid 1945 I presume. I dont believe Pizza Hut deliver down there. Sheesh Keith |

So what was the labour force used to construct this base in the Antarctic ? Shoggoths Ick. That means you have to deal with their union, too. |

I do recognize the difference between novels and non-fiction. Actually, the Nazi Antarctic base "history" popped up about the same time as several SF stories were published. One was a direct parallel to the history, others going further afield in the telling, but still based on the central premise, and more have come up later. And to satisfy the conspiracy types, the US Coast Guard did battle with them too, so there is a US cover-up as well. The breadth and depth of the illogic of this stuff would make a great book in itself. |
