I even tried to get a real professor of bible-thumping to review a couple of prime blog reports I made. I mean, anyone who claims to be an expert at interpreting the fairy-tales written by cavemen about that mythical figure "Jesus Christ" should be able to have an insightful opinion about "Star Trek: First Contact" right? I mean, that's some intriguing stuff from the year 1996

Extraordinary Cold in Store for The Pacific Northwest
It will not be a little ironic that a year that brought record-breaking high temperatures in June, also brings extreme cold in December.
But life is full of contradictions and ironies.....
The latest model runs suggest that immediately after Christmas temperatures will plummet to levels not seen in our region for perhaps decades.

HELICOPTER. Sheppard, his uniform covered in snow, walks back to the helicopter and gets back in as O'Neill gets in the other side. They sit there for a moment, a little breathless and stunned.
SHEPPARD: That was different.
O'NEILL: For me, not so much.
ANCIENT OUTPOST. Lieutenant Aiden Ford runs over to report to Doctor Weir.
FORD: Major Sheppard is reporting the drone appears to have been incapacitated. (Weir sighs in relief. Beckett, still sitting in the Chair, does likewise.) General O'Neill's helicopter is unharmed and on its way again. Seven minutes out.
WEIR: Thank God.
BECKETT: Holy crap!
SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. Daniel Jackson walks over to the elevator as O'Neill and Sheppard get off it.
JACKSON: Jack!
O'NEILL: Daniel! Warm welcome.
JACKSON: Wasn't me. How did you manage to, uh ...?
O'NEILL: Keep my ass from gettin' blown out of the sky? (He turns and gestures to Sheppard.) The exceptional flying of Major John Sheppard. He likes it here.
JACKSON: Exceptional. (He looks at Sheppard in surprise.) You like it here?
(Sheppard shrugs. Jack turns to Daniel as the two of them start to walk away.)
O'NEILL: What say we skip to the part where you start talking real fast?

Leoben: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?

Leoben: I don't have allergies.
Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.
Leoben: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge, that's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack. Right, well, that's not enough Adama. I've been here for hours.

I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes (1948)
Release Info
USA 23 May 1948
Summaries
A dancer is pinned for murder after his shoe prints are found at the scene of the crime. His wife follows the trail of clues to the genuine killer.
Tom (Don Castle) and Ann (Elyse Knox) are a down-and-out dance team, and while Don seeks engagements, Ann works as an instructor at a dance academy, with Detective Judd (Regis Toomey) one of the many customers she meets. On a hot summer night Tom, awaken from his sleep, tosses his only pair of shoes out the window to quiet two noisy cats. He goes down to retrieve them and can't find them, but Ann discovers them in front of their door the next morning. A near-by recluse is found murdered in his old shack that same day while Tom finds a wallet filled with old $20 bills. Footprints, bearing an imprint like those on a tap-dancer's shoes, plus Don's new-found wealth combine to make a good circumstantial evidence case for Judd against Tom and he is convicted. On the night before his execution, Ann seeks Judd's help in proving Tom is innocent. He turns up a suspect, Kosloff (Robert Lowell), but an air-tight alibi clears him.

Professor of Religion: An expert only in circular reasoning.

Kerry Burgess updated his status.
I haven't read much of your blog. So I don't know if you're serious about that fairy-tale fiction that is known as the "Holy Bible".
A professor of religion, in my opinion, if you're a person who really tries to believe that stuff, is an authority only in circular logic.
Unlike a religious zealot, I am a person myself on a search for real truth. Not false hope. Not the kind of false hope one gets from the drug-addiction effects of some phony religion.
I decided to try to communicate these notions to you because I have an objective mind.
If you are an intellectually curious person then maybe you can spend a few minutes studying a couple selected posts from my blogs, referenced here, and try to answer the questions I have.
What would you do? If you found yourself in a similar situation and had developed these facts about yourself then what would you do. Why would people go to so to such effort to create these observations I have made? I don't know any of them. I have no knowledge of ever having any kind of association with the facts I published (other than from official documentation I have, as noted). Why would they do that?
The observations I have made are relevant to these modern times. Here finally is some greater truth that is not created by the delusional ravings of cavemen. Your blog gives me the impression you claim to be an expert on interpreting the writings of cavemen. You tell me. What is the meaning of the details I have discovered. You seem to have an interest in space exploration so I would like to know if you know what this means.
by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me: February 24, 2017 2:30 pm
Kerry Burgess updated his status.
Okay, Professor McGrath, I have read at least one more of your blog posts.
Does that make you feel better?
Here's my opinion again as I noted in a previous comment: "God" is an invention of Man. A very ambitious invention.
Cavemen were terrified of the sky above. When did humans first discover the cause of thunder? Look that up. Learn something new today.
According to the article listed next below, the "God" of your so-called studies is just an invention of people who needed a better God than their neighbors.
http://www.salon.com/2014/09/01/5_reasons_to_suspect_that_jesus_never_existed/
I find that premise plausible.
Because one fact has not changed over the many millenium of human existence: People are terrified of mortality.
Think about that for a while.
People are terrified of mortality.
A coward's level of fear is the sole basis for religion.
People simply cannot comprehend the deep history of this planet Earth. We exist today as we exist because billions and billions of other creatures existed before us. We sort of won the lottery in terms of a mild intelligence. Now we're just dangerous monkey killing the planet with pollution.
So, back to my original question. You claim to be an expert at interpreting the writing of cavemen - old writing of dubious authenticity - not to mention by people who died thousands of years (again of questionable authenticity) before you were born.
So now, I have documented something greater in these modern times and because of the interest you have demonstrated about space exploration I would have expected some really substantive questions from you and your thinking powers.

Where are the Alien Overlords when you Need Them?
February 6, 2017 by James F. McGrath
I literally laughed out loud when I reached the end of this SMBC comic.
I have been watching Colony, which turned out to have some very interesting religious elements in it. It is a story of alien invasion set in the United States, which raises questions about how we view those who build walls and those who seek to circumvent them, about collaboration and about those who engage in acts of terrorism against their oppressors and those who collaborate with them. The new religion that appears in the wake of the advent of the aliens would make for a fascinating study in terms of its realism or otherwise when compared with new religions that emerged in history after the arrival of colonial powers.

Multiverse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of possible universes, including the universe in which we live. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.
The various universes within the multiverse are called "parallel universes", "other universes", or "alternative universes".
Origin of the concept
In Dublin in 1952, Erwin Schrödinger gave a lecture in which he jocularly warned his audience that what he was about to say might "seem lunatic". He said that, when his Nobel equations seemed to describe several different histories, these were "not alternatives, but all really happen simultaneously". This is the earliest known reference to the multiverse outside of fiction.

Parallel universe (fiction)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Science fiction
While technically incorrect, and looked down upon by hard science-fiction fans and authors, the idea of another "dimension" has become synonymous with the term "parallel universe". The usage is particularly common in movies, television and comic books and much less so in modern prose science fiction. The idea of a parallel world was first introduced in comic books with the publication of The Flash #123, "Flash of Two Worlds".[citation needed]
In written science fiction, "new dimensions" more commonly – and more accurately – refer to additional coordinate axes, beyond the three spatial axes with which we are familiar. By proposing travel along these extra axes, which are not normally perceptible, the traveler can reach worlds that are otherwise unreachable and invisible.
Television series involving parallel universes

Somewhere in my posts, I wrote about my thoughts on this topic, popular in science-fiction
My dissertation being that the Many Worlds Theory is just a big crock of shit
The basis of that theory, I've speculated, is ignoring that electrons *have* predictability
My guess is that someone reverse-engineered that notion that the states of electrons can NEVER be determined
Therefore, everything is uncertain
And since everything is uncertain then everything is possible
I think that the invention of Many Worlds Theory based on that viewpoint is dim-witted
There is only ONE reason that the states of electrons cannot be determined: the primitive technology of the human-race
My assertion is that anything that tries to measure the state of electrons would have to shoot more electrons at the target electron, thus changing it
So, out there somewhere in the vast Universe, with it bazillions of possibilities for life vastly more intelligent than human will be ever, there may be technology that can measure accurately and unobtrusively the state of electrons.
Predictable eliminates uncertainty.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett
After his now celebrated theory of multiple universes met scorn, Hugh Everett abandoned the world of academic physics. He turned to top secret military research and led a tragic private life
By Peter Byrne on October 21, 2008
Everett’s scientific journey began one night in 1954, he recounted two decades later, “after a slosh or two of sherry.” He and his Princeton classmate Charles Misner and a visitor named Aage Petersen (then an assistant to Niels Bohr) were thinking up “ridiculous things about the implications of quantum mechanics.” During this session Everett had the basic idea behind the many-worlds theory, and in the weeks that followed he began developing it into a dissertation.
The core of the idea was to interpret what the equations of quantum mechanics represent in the real world by having the mathematics of the theory itself show the way instead of by appending interpretational hypotheses to the math. In this way, the young man challenged the physics establishment of the day to reconsider its foundational notion of what constitutes physical reality.
In pursuing this endeavor, Everett boldly tackled the notorious measurement problem in quantum mechanics, which had bedeviled physicists since the 1920s. In a nutshell, the problem arises from a contradiction between how elementary particles (such as electrons and photons) interact at the microscopic, quantum level of reality and what happens when the particles are measured from the macroscopic, classical level. In the quantum world, an elementary particle, or a collection of such particles, can exist in a superposition of two or more possible states of being. An electron, for example, can be in a superposition of different locations, velocities and orientations of its spin. Yet anytime scientists measure one of these properties with precision, they see a definite result—just one of the elements of the superposition, not a combination of them. Nor do we ever see macroscopic objects in superpositions. The measurement problem boils down to this question: How and why does the unique world of our experience emerge from the multiplicities of alternatives available in the superposed quantum world?
Physicists use mathematical entities called wave functions to represent quantum states. A wave function can be thought of as a list of all the possible configurations of a superposed quantum system, along with numbers that give the probability of each configuration’s being the one, seemingly selected at random, that we will detect if we measure the system. The wave function treats each element of the superposition as equally real, if not necessarily equally probable from our point of view.

From my research, most of that Multiple Universe nonsense, common in popular science-fiction, started with some comments by some guy in Physics, at Princeton University, wasn't it?
Mon Sep 14 00:32:10 +0000 2020
My guess is that spawned out of the fact that the precise location of electrons can never be determined. Because, with modern human technology, you would have to shoot more electrons at that electron to track it and thus, you just changed it.
Mon Sep 14 00:32:10 +0000 2020
So, the fact is: electrons ALWAYS have a precise location. Is just that humans have no way of knowing those precise details
So some guy at Princeton - drunk, perhaps - extrapolated the notion into a wacky, convoluted idea that multiple-universes exist
Mon Sep 14 00:32:10 +0000 2020
Since electrons can't be tracked then ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, according to that wacky physics graduate. But the reality is: Anything is not possible, when extrapolating with the unknown-electrons idea

SUMNER: Colonel Marshall Sumner, United States Marine Corps.
WRAITH Queen: So little fear. Is it valour ... or ignorance?
SUMNER: We travelled through the Stargate as peaceful explorers.
WRAITH Queen: You must eat, yet you resist your hunger. Why?
SUMNER: Why have you taken my people prisoner?
WRAITH: You trespassed upon our feeding ground.
SUMNER: Feeding ground?
WRAITH: All living things must eat. In this I'm sure we are similar. You feel hunger even now -- I can sense it. Yet you resist. Why?
SUMNER: Why do you care?
WRAITH: Hunger is distasteful.
SUMNER (looking at Toran's corpse): Looks to me like the food didn't agree with him.
WRAITH: There we are quite dissimilar, Colonel Sumner. (She leans over Toran, running a long fingernail down his head.) We don't require our food to agree with us.
