My my my......goodness!! Alrighty just my thoughts, dont matter much but.......i bet "demons" are laughing about this subject, because they know they are not aliens, but they are demons and its funny to them that the world would accept "aliens" better than the word "demons" which is (my opinion) what they are. And I truly dont care at all what Jesus looks like, be it purple orange or pink, I'm in love with HIM and I trust the Holy Spirit will tell me......AHAHAAAA theirs our LORD and I will know, having the Holy Spirit as my guide, He will take me to my Master and Lord Jesus Christ. My spirit will know His Spirit and just as John the Baptist and Jesus when the baby lept in the womb :wave:

The world doesn't accept aliens because there aren't any aliens, demonic or mundane. They're imaginary.

In other words, make it up as you go. Terrific.

Well if you think that your personal interpretation of the Bible is 100% accurate and will never change then you are either mad, deluded or God.

No you don't understand, once a research paper has been peer reviewed, that means that is has been accepted by the scientific community
Accepted or rejected. Peer review involves tear down a thesis bit by bit and seeing how it works. It isn't a rubber sta,p of some sort, and just being published doesn't mean the idea is worth the electrons that it's written on. And the process of peer review has to involve scientific peers reviewing the published work. So where are dooflotchie's reviews? Who were the reviewers? What comments did they have on his ideas?

it is the scientific community who do the peer reviewing:
One would hope. So what'd they have to say about this crop circles nonsense? I'mm sorry, but the idea that just because an idea has been published doesn't mean it becomes the law, it doesn't even mean it's true. The peer review process doesn't even begin in earnest until the stuff is published, at which point everyone gets to take their shot at it.

So where are the reviews? This "it got published so it must be true" stuff is simply nonsense.

Hey, you're the one telling us that Satan will absolutely show up in 5 years, disguised as Jesus, escorted by a fleet of flying saucers, and telling us that a wholly unrelated set of Scriptures backs up your tale, which it patently does not. Most of us hold to the ides that what is written in the Bible actually means something, and isn't simply you make up a meaning for as best suits you. That is simple lunacy.

Does SCripture say that Satan will be riding in one of the flying saucers, or just ordering them around? And what does it say about how he'll be greeted by people who believe in neither Jesus nor Satan? And is there any message on motorcycles or neo-impressionist painting to be drawn from those Scriptures?

You simply don't get it?

In order for the research to be published it must first be approved by scientists that it is scientifically factual. If it is not then it will not be published.

You didn't answer the question, therefore I can only assume you are either mad or deluded.

He will claim to be the greatest of all the alien races and many people, like you, will fall for it.

Jipsah may I ask what does "blood drinker" mean??
Hopefully it is to do with drinking the sacrament? His Avi is King Sejong the Great of Korea 1418 to 1450 who's beliefs
were based on Confucianism

Nothing there to get. Your belief in Satan disguising himself as Jesus and showing up with a lot of flying saucers - in 5 years, no less! - has nothing whatsoever to do with the Scriptures you cited. You simply replaced what was written there and replaced it with your own ill-founded notions. That's simply absurd.

In order for the research to be published it must first be approved by scientists that it is scientifically factual. If it is not then it will not be published.
You apparently never heard of the Pons, Fleischman paper on "cold fusion", published, as I recall, in Science back in the early 90s. Created international excitement. Right up until other scientists tried to duplicate what Pons and Fleischman had reported - and couldn't. None of them. Turned out, it was bogus from the git-go. No such thing as cold fusion. In your world, it would never have been published since it was untrue. But in the real world, it did. The real review came after publication,as in fact it always does. Publication is simly saying "Here's what we found, y'all go try it yourselves." If if people try it and find it untrue (which happens in an unfortunate number of cases) then the idea dies a much deserved death. That's the while point of the thing, not, as you appearo believe, have a magazine editor decide what's true and what isn't.

We're going round in circles. IT'S CALLED INTERPRETATION.

And that is such an overly simplistic understanding of what really happened to Pons, Fleischman paper, which has formed the part of much research and development in this field since then. As said you don't have a scientific mind. This is from c&en Chemical and engineering news:

'Despite the uncertainty surrounding Mills and BLP, their story is just one part of the ongoing new energy saga. After the dust settled on the original Fleischmann-Pons announcement, the two researchers began figuring out what was right and what was wrong. They were joined by dozens of other collaborators and independent researchers.'

Well duh! "After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

His Avi is King Sejong the Great of Korea 1418 to 1450
Nice catch! There was no "Korea" as such in those days, but Sejong's kingdom of Joseon did cover most of the Korean peninsula. A great and a good man.

who's beliefs were based on Confucianism
Confucianism isn't in itself a religion, but a system of ethically correct conduct. No one worships Confucious, although he is properly regarded as a man of wisdom.

Curiousity, though. If my avatar was Abe Lincoln, would you have seen fit to speculate on his religious views? <Laugh>
