SCIENCE IS BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLL cool
Humans can trace down existence (homo sapien) down to 300,000 years.
Yet, one story-book written by ignorant old folks out of delirious obsession with a MAN will tell you that ADAM AND EVE were created about six thousand years ago.


The book also want you to believe that someone died for the sins you never committed grin grin grin grin

THE ORIGIN:
CREATED By early theologians...

Jesus, a Jew man... Who lived about 2000 years ago...
He was a good teacher and a theologian...
He lives in a time when the Roman empire was oppressing his people...
He wanted to free and liberate his people...

He was referred to as a rebel by the Roman authority and some of his people ( The Jew priests)...

Jesus was accused of the crimes of blasphemy and sedition by the Roman authority.
Judas played the role of a snitch AFTER HE WAS BRIBED, for Jesus to be apprehended.
Jesus was killed for the crimes he was convicted of. Later on, some confused and obsessed fellows made up the story of how his death paid for their sins grin

Because they can't just accept that an intelligent and innocent teacher could just die like that. They felt that there must be a strong reason for it, and since giving pure sacrifices to their gods then was the best gesture of worships, they attributed Jesus' death to the greatest sacrifice they can ever offer to their god....AND A RELIGION WAS BORN! (Chris tia nity)

Only he who starts of his own accord can advance spiritually. The fool who appropriates and makes use of the ready-made opinions of others, is like one who dismembers his own sturdy legs and walks on crutches.

You are not well read in history are you?

wow, but whats the whole idea of coins been found in their mouths?

Transport fare.

The coins were to cover their transport fare to the land of the dead.

Without those coins,it was believed that they would be stranded by the riverbank.

If you are quite conversant with Greek/Roman mythology, then you must surely have heard of Charon. But if not, then Charon was often depicted as a lonely, rough, dirty-looking boatman clad in reddish-brown.

Charon was the ferryman or, if you like, the boatman on the river Styx and Acheron.

The rivers Styx and Acheron in Greek mythology were the links between the worlds of the living and the dead.

So, in order to be able to cross over to the world[Hades, the land of the dead], a dead man had to give a coin to Charon in order to be able to pay his fare.

Failure to pay that fee, would mean that the soul of that individual would wander restlessly around the shores of those two rivers until further notice.

That is why those coins in the mouths of those children's corpses were very crucial according to the belief of those times.

But it also shows the long-lasting influence of the ancient Greek and Roman traditions and cultures on parts of Eastern Europe such as Poland and most especially Ukraine.

Those cultures collapsed thousands of years ago but they kept on influencing cultures in Eastern Europe up until the 1600s.
interesting...




well,myths will always be myths then.. unless the boatman forgot or refused to collect from the kids then.lol

Religious clowns won't say rubbish on this thread because it dates back to 16th century, and not millions of years.
You won't hear them retort their usual question, "how did they come up with the years"? Simply because this one doesn't discredit their childish claim that the world is 6000 years old.

So a burial ground is an ancient mystery and sign of the times? Good thing it wasn't Nigerians that discovered the pyramids of the Egyptians or the Mayans... we would have freaked out! wink

According to one book. There have been many myths, carvings, paintings, tablets, and books, in human history - each of them confident in their correctness. There will be more after we are long gone. What guarantee does anyone have that this one, this time, is the right one?

Away to where if I may ask? How do you even read your Bible? There must be judgement here on eat, and Christ will use the saints and the ancient worthy to judge this wicked word Nothing like rapture. Flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. Revelation 21 contains the number of those to go to heaven. The rest of us called righteous Psalm 37 and the Meek Matthew 5, will inherit this earth when made paradise again as it where in the garden of Eden. Please read Ezekiel 36:34,35. I have slot to say. If you need my WhatsApp contact for more insight pls do. We Christians should be circumspect. No be everything your pastors tell you naim u go swallow. Read that Bible well we'll. thanks

For bodies which date back to medieval times, it's funny to see how well preserved they still are. One would think eventually bones turn to dust, but even fossils of cavemen and dinosaurs are physically strong despite time passage. With satellites that penetrate solid objects, giving almost a clear view of going ons inside buildings, why aren't all these grave sites found in their hundreds/thousands?

They no get other work to do?

Ur story reminds me of the original Clash of the titans.
I remember in the movie a coin was given to one man like creature wearing a cloak. He then ferried them to another world I think
