Then why do you claim that is it an accurate portrayal of ancient kings? If the list is not accurate for dates of reign, what makes it accurate for mentioning "spirit" kings?
I don't claim it is all that. I merely point out that it records spirits as real things, right here among men. The details of fates, and order of succession, etc, I don't use.
I couldn't load the page. In any case, if you claim it is so inaccurate, why do you continue to use it?
So if you think the list is lying about the reign of Thoth then what makes it accurate about "gods" as kings? All it shows is humanity's capability to deify ancient rulers. Just because some of it is exaggerated does not mean the whole thing is.
We do not know. It is an old list. Some think certain kinds are really other kings..maybe. Others think the fragments are arranged wrong. Others think that the years are not years of reign, etc etc. However, what we can glean from it, is that spirits were part of the early record.
Humanity's capability to ascribe great deeds and feats to ancient people.
Unknown. You can't wave it away like that. Sure we need a grain of salt, with pagan records, a large grain, but some basics of life can be gleaned from the records.
If it is so untrustworthy as a source of dates, what makes it any different about ancient spirit kings?
That depends on whether you want accurate dates for the spirit kings or just the info that there were such things!
Conversely, an unknown scribbler is hardly a reliable source for the reliability of "spirit" kings. I still haven't heard a counter for 3,000 years of Egyptian history being fit into a 2,000 year time span.
But it is not just the one list, or even country that records spirits. That is just one piece of evidence in many.
So you believe that Mohammad ascended into heaven by angels? You believe that Buddha walked on water and was protected by a naga as he sat under the Bodhi tree to reach enlightenment?
What's a naga? If there was some spirits helping, why would that bother me? If they didn't confess that Jesus is the Christ, and come in the flesh, they are not good spirits, however.
All I have claimed is that later Egyptian culture deified pharaohs so it is no surprise that they did the same with the earliest rulers.
Speculation. They also recorded actual people!
So now you are claiming they are ridiculous? In earlier posts you mentioned how the Turin list mentions "spirits" as rulers and how it proves your "different state" past nonsense. Now you are claiming they are "ridiculous records made by some insane scribbler". Funny, funny, funny...
All early records have some sort of spirits in them, no? The fact that the only records we have of the time list spirits as real kings is significant. We need to take them for what they are, and that is not a reliable dating device.
They are animistic, they believe that spirits live everywhere. Spirits can take the form of animals or people. To animistic cultures the spirit world and physical world are inseparable.
Spirits can do that...so?? They can and do inhabit living creatures. However, they are not actual spirit beings, that man sees now. We merely see the body they live in. Before, it was a different degree of presence, where the sons of god actually married women, etc. They had kids, even. Maybe some of those were
deified..?! After all, they became men of renown.
I thought there was no heat in the "different state" past? To me that sounds like heat caused by friction and pressure, the same as today in the present state. Ergo, the past was the same as the present.
Well, even if a different state rock had a much lower melt point, or some such, I see no reason to assume that magma could not be produced? But do show us, if you have some evidence that would require a tweak in that little dept..

Why would it matter?
So if the core is spiritual also, then that means the "split" never happened since the spiritual is still connected to the physical.
No. Look at the curse, after the fall. We had the ground, or earth where man lived, the surface, in other words, that was affected. Do you have some reason to say that the eternal foundations of the earth were also cursed?? That would be news to me. So, what it would appear to me, is that man's world, the surface area was changed. Why do I assume that the stars, and inner earth, and fabric and laws and forces and light were not changed at the time of the fall, you ask? Because there were still clear differences till after the flood! In fact, even at the time of the split, which was the time of Babel as well, if I calculate right, spirits were right nearby, in the sky level! They tried to build up to this 'heaven'!! Why do you think they were stopped? If you look at the time just before the flood, when the Almighty God Himself, Personally announced some big change was coming down the pipes in 120 years...we still see the angels marrying gals in the VERY verse before!
So heat being created from movement is no different than today. Heat is being created by the earth in this state that does not kill life, unless you jump into the lava.
We need to ask when the heat came to be, and how much there was! If it was right at the tail end of the continental separation, for example, when the laws were then present state, we would get a lot of heat! Enough, I wager, to remain under there for thousands of years!! Sometime I may look into a possible connection there, with how the stuff that makes geysers at Yellowstone has been cooling over time..
So are you claiming that the magnetic poles have changed several dozen times in the past few thousand years?
I think they could have flipped like pancakes in the different state. Why would that be any problem at all??
You have consistently claimed that the physical laws of the past were different from the physical laws of the present. We know that pillow lava is formed in aquatic environments. If we find pillow lava in the geologic record, no matter how old it is, whether it is on top of a mountain or in the middle of the desert, we know that it was formed underwater. You have also claimed that you can explain ANY event in the past state. Since you have consistently been unable to explain how pillow lava would form differently in the "past state", I now claim victory.
Well, all you have done is make a point at last, that is semi clear. Easy as pie to address, though. You say that "we know" that pillow lava "IS formed" in water. How would you know that ancient pre flood pillow lava needed to also be formed that way? You haven't even showed us any yet! You mention one site in Australia, and failed to reply when asked of details about it! Do your homework.
