Proving it would be pointless, an exercise in futility.

Now, if I could prove the mystics and holy men had the decency to hide, instead of destroy, the evidence that threatened to kill their cash cow -- that would be meaningful. Unfortunately, man’s obtuse Middle Eastern cults are by far most famous (or infamous) for their insatiable greed and horrifying indecency. Destruction is what they do best.

Here’s an example, one of many, of what was lost.

The story has it that when the crusaders went up against Damascus steel blades, these blades would cut through the crusaders armor and plain steel sword blades like butter. Apparently the blades (made of layers of a special steel alloy, soldered together, hammered, folded, soldered again, hammered, folded, soldered again, etc., etc., until a blade contained thousands of bonded, microscopically thin layers) could be sharpened to such a degree that if you let a silk veil float onto a fixed blade, the weight of the silk alone would cut the veil in half. The cutting edges almost never needed resharpening. And you could bend a sword blade without it breaking until the point touched the hilt, let go, and the blade would spring back to dead straight.

The crusaders (card carrying geniuses all) figured: obviously, these must be instruments of the devil. So, being “good christians” doing “God’s work”, they made sure all knowledge of how these blades were manufactured was completely destroyed.

Metallurgists today are still trying to reinvent the process. The only reason we know this alloying, forging process existed at all is because a few of these weapons (including some the crusaders stole and brought back with them) are still around today. Scientists would love to analyze these blades for more information but the analyzing process destroys the samples being analyzed and there’s absolutely no guarantee of success. I can hardly blame the owners of these priceless objects for refusing. I suspect ultimately science will succeed -- then again, maybe not; no thanks to the cults and their crusaders.

What do you want to bet a more rational theory for the origin of life existed at one time.

WELL! We certainly couldn’t be allowed to have THAT knowledge! Destroy it! Stop those who would teach it to our children at any cost! Banish it from our schools! Kill all that oppose THE ONE TRUE FAITH!

“Good christians” would be blissfully doing “God’s work” by hanging and barbequing folk today if it was still legal...I suppose I should be glad some loony hasn’t started spewing bible gibberish at me here yet.

By the way, I do like the “MATTER AND ENERGY ARE NEITHER CREATED NOR DESTROYED” post below. Where god spent 7000 years building the earth from leftover bits and pieces cluttering up his yard and that’s why we have fossils and old rocks.

I informed my wife and daughter dinosaurs never existed and the earth was only a week or so old in god time where 1 day equal 1000 years. That the fossils and old rocks on our planet were actually fossils and old rocks from some other planet (or planets) on the other side of the universe or galaxy or whatever where everything died. And god spent 7000 years carting their planet, or pieces of it, here to create our planet because the dead guys didn’t need it anymore, and that’s why we have fossils and old rocks.

My daughter asked how the dead guys died and who created the dead guys’ fossils and old rocks; my wife asked where all the oil came from. I patiently explained god works in mysterious ways and we must not question his methods. And pointed out they were both being party-poopers, and after we burn all the oil we won’t have that pesky fact interfering with a perfectly good theory.

My wife thinks I’ve finally gone off the deep end...I can’t understand why.
