...

Are you saying that diamonds and rubies exposed only to pure / cross-polarised light from one direction will not appear black?


That raises an interesting question:


If I counted correctly a year ago then there are 15 times as many Christians as both agnostics and atheists added together in CF

so why are there so few Christians who know any science?


(I really feel the Christians should have the first opportunity to explain the post they made)

Thanks for the reference.


I like it when people take an interest in science and are willing to share it.


Real cross-polarised light is as described in the Imperial College note. It is light with a mixture of two different planes of polarisation present, and because of the wave nature of light, the two will interfere at the point of detection.


David Pawson is talking about 'light' which has been through two polarisers, the first blocking all light with an electric field in the horizontal plane and the second all components of the electric field in the vertical plane.


The result of course is total darkness, and somehow he reasons that this darkness is 'pure light' which by no form of logic known to man he deduced must be the light present in the New Jerusalem.

Intresting, heard it once that the Holy One blessed be He sits in darkness,
because He radiates such brightness that we would be blinded, thereof He sits in darkness.
Don,t know if I got that across right or if it has anything to do with what you are talking about, just came to think of it reading your post.

I think you'll have to find that one. We have science and Christianity; if you add something else to the mix it could get a bit confusing, but I guess we can handle it and it could be interesting, so do get back if you are sure where that titbit came from.


Key point here is David Pawson is talking about light, not darkness, or at least that's what he hopes he is talking about.

Well I did say I did not no if it had anything to do with what you were talking about.
Don,t know if I can pinpoint time place person but it was a Rabbi who was talking at the time.
The Holy One blessed be He, does not sit in darkness, what he meant was
with our naked eye, we would be blinded, so bright is His brilliance, like we cannot look at the sun with our naked eye.
But clearly this is not what you were talking about.
I would say that adding science and Christianity makes things confusing, but that,s another side of things.Anyway, don,t bother about it, it was clearly nothing to do with the subject at hand anyway.

It's even better following Thor; instead of some obscure arguments based on misunderstandings I actually heard him last week throwing thunderbolts to drive back the Titans. You don't get a surer faith than that.

Not sure if you're serious. Are you choosing to ignore the posts pointing out the errors in David Pawson's claims or they part of the unfolding drama?

Poor Bungle Bear,you are an avowed atheist ,are you not ?
I am very serious. Most of my certainty does not simply come from the bible.
The bible simply parallels most of what I found .
Once you have 'the key', you are 'inside',and it genuinely is, the most wonderful adventure,from there on.

That's not really relevant, but no I'm not. I'm agnostic, just as my profile shows.

So you have found evidence to support David Pawson and counter the posts which contradict him?

Good .I do not have time to look at profiles.I am not on facebook or the like,which is for shallow discourse.
I will not be writing any more about what I know here .About David Pawson,who is he?
Goodness me,it's all details. These are necessary at the beginning,but later,
when you 'see'the 'whole',they are only 'interesting '. Like listening to Mozart,you don't take the
notes individually, but you hear the ensemble.

Later you can study the structures etc, but his music is heard in his head /heart, and afterwards
he writes down the notes etc .,so that others can play it .
So it is with with left hand brained uninspired ,'materialistic' so called scientists [atheists].
They have to plod along looking for the details,while greater minds already know the 'whole'.

The earth is a materialistic place, but can be neutral for most things.
One of the main reasons the church [RC] is failing is because most popes have been to down
to earth types [literally]in recent times,and this types are no more inspired than these
'materialistic 'scientists'.
We have all been in existence for a long time,at different levels of existence ,and these POPES
[and other christians] of an underdeveloped state,in denying reincarnation have skewed the
whole christian story, most of the rest being true. How can a church survive ,when most of it's
leaders are not 'in the kingdom' ?
I will not write on this again. God if you ask Him will guide you now.

If you've managed to read my name and posts then surely you could take time to see the
icon right under my name .
About David Pawson,who is he?
He's the individual in the videos making the claims which you seem to like. Did you actually watch them?

Why would he do that? Finding out what you are talking about is for us lesser beings.
