[quote name='PittsburghAfterDark']Remains of Solomon's temple is still in existence in Jerusalem. It's the temple mount, home of the first two Jewish temples. Eden was destroyed in Noah's flood. [/quote]
No it's not. The 2nd temple is what the wall was once part of. Solomon's temple supposedly existed before that.
And there's no evidence of a worldwide flood. No way to gather all of earths life forms in an area, and no way to make a boat large enough to house them (wooden boats can only get so big before they spring too many leaks).
There's no evidence of an exodus taking place. There's no evidence of the Pharoahs army being wiped out. There's no evidence of israelite slaves in Egypt. Much of the old testament is either completely lacking evidence, or heavily disputed.
For someone that loves to think they're super objective you're being awfully dense.
So not one of those millions of spaceships crashed? Not one of them can be found? What about the power generators that would be needed to encase the planet in an electronic shield? Which planet is Xenu encased in?
Scientology says there were 76 known habited planets millions of years ago. Their claim, not mine. So why can't they identify one of them? Just one is all I ask. If their entire religion stemmed from alien overpopulation why can't they name or produce evidence of existence of one planet?
They know the evil emperor, they know his evil tax audit scheme, they know that the spaceships looked like DC-8's (Now just how can this be when no one's seen them??? HMMMM, could it be that DC-8's were the latest and greatest mode of transportation when L Ron Hubbard came up with this "religion"? NOOOOOOO that wouldn't make sense.) they know there were 76 planets.
Now putting the math aside of transporting 1.4 trillion frozen bodies how can you know what a spaceship looks like but not the name of one planet in that empire, where it was located, who inhabited it and how to contact them?
Can you say....... suckers?
I knew you could.
He supposedly knows this because he essentially reached enlightenment and was able to see into the past through his thetan. Thetans being immortal, like many believe souls are, simply pass from one physical life to the next.
An enlightened one who can see into the past isn't an oddity in the realm of religion.
There's no way for us to tell if any other planet, outside our solar system, has life. If planets in nearby solar systems had life equivalent to humans then we'd have no way of knowing unless they used a form of communication to reach us that we recieved (essentially radio signals). If they were using a more advanced one then we wouldn't know, if it was too weak we wouldn't know, if they simply did not send such transmissions then we wouldn't know. There's no other way to know. It's not like saying the god's are on mount olympus and being able to go up there and prove that they're not. Even in our solar system we don't know if there's some primitive life forms in places such as underground mars, on europa(which may or may not have huge oceans under the ice) etc.
You want to argue that a religion needs to have some scientific validity to be considered valid. But that's ridiculous, as few religions meet that criteria. It also defeats the purpose of religion. Science is evidence, religion is faith.
cares what the lead actor does outside of the film, it doesn't change the film.
k 
. Anyway, I've seen the first two and thought they were OK. They were fun to watch and Tom Cruise was always an enjoyable guy to watch performing on-screen. But, to me, the guy has just gone so overboard in the last year with the media and his public remarks I just can't help watching him and NOT thinking about his off screen persona. I don't know if I'll go to the theater to see it, maybe a matinee or I'll wait for the DVD for rental.
oh that's right you're the little bitch we all used to laugh at with that love chronicles thread
ENU WILL HAVE YOUR BALLS FOR THIS ATTEMPT TO HAVE OTHERS AVOID MALCOLM TOM'S SHITTY ACTING. LONG LIVE THE NATION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND THE PROPHET L-RON.
