The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

Roosh already discussed it. He said that "I 'died' while on the mushrooms and saw what happens after death."
thread-6998-...pid1956634
Oddly enough, no one actually asked Roosh what he saw. They were more interested in how to take the mushrooms than in what Roosh saw when he "died."
A sign of the times, I guess.

I, for one, am very curious. But I'll wait until he's ready to speak of it.
Thanks for pointing out the existence of that thread, I need to go to the Life subforum more often.

What's the difference between "trusting it" and setting up yourself as the ultimate judge of "it?"

One of the best examples of design within the human body is the eye. Even Charles Darwin struggled with the problem of how to explain how such a complex organ as the eye could have “evolved” through naturalistic processes. In The Origin of Species he wrote:
To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest sense (1859, p. 170, emp. added).
Quote:Quote:
In his book, Does God Believe in Atheists?, John Blanchard described just how complex the eye really is.
The human eye is a truly amazing phenomenon. Although accounting for just one fourth-thousandth of an adult’s weight, it is the medium which processes some 80% of the information received by its owner from the outside world. The tiny retina contains about 130 million rod-shaped cells, which detect light intensity and transmit impulses to the visual cortex of the brain by means of some one million nerve fibres, while nearly six million cone-shaped cells do the same job, but respond specifically to colour variation. The eyes can handle 500,00 messages simultaneously, and are kept clear by ducts producing just the right amount of fluid with which the lids clean both eyes simultaneously in one five-thousandth of a second (2000, p. 313).
Statements like this proves that the eye was so well designed, and so complicated, that it could not have happened by accident, as evolution teaches.

2. Its God. He can do that. We cannot understand the workings of God or how he does things because we are human.

Oddly enough it might be accurate. Time is slowed by gravity, any high-gravity zone (like a black hole or extremely large planet) will pass through time at a slower pace than an area with less gravity.
The big bang occurred in split seconds, however the gravity would've been extremely high there (with all the matter of the universe in one little singularity). So those split seconds would've been days in terms of relative time at great distance from where the bang originated. I.E. further from the bang, time will go by faster (since less gravity).
So the singularity of the bang was a split second at that locality, but light years away time was passing much faster.
Some guy did the math on that and literally got an answer of several days. Meaning the edges of the massive expanse were travelling through time far faster than at the singularity. I can't find it, but based on relativity it makes perfect sense.
