X-Men: Apocalypse set for May 27, 2016 0

[chezmtghut]

I do believe in evolution, but I certainly don't agree with Darwin's theory of it. Looking at similarities between different species over any given period of time, will never amount to proof of his theory.

 

He did far more than look at the similarities between species. What from Darwin do you disagree with? It's not at all off-topic related to the X-Men given that evolution is the entire fictional explanation for their existence.

 

Science maintains that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it simply changes form. If you take the life force or soul to be spiritual energy, then according to science, it's eternally changing form. I believe we devolved from spirit into different material species through the process of reincarnation. I don't believe for example that humans evolved from monkey's though. We can see how a fetus evolves from birth to death, but we can't however witness the process which Darwin describes, therefore it remains theoretical speculation.

 

 

According to the Vedas, man has always existed & at a much superior level than today. It describes people performing supernatural/mystical feats like remote viewing, telepathy, telekinesis, size & weight alterations, shape shifting, etc... like you'd read in today's comics. There is also mention of a multiverse & much of quantum physics/mechanics was brought about through the study of the Vedas.

 

Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Einstein, Tesla, Oppenheimer, etc... all read Vedic literature. Apparently Newton’s entire work in Physics and Calculus was taken from the Vedas and Kerala book of Calculus.

You're ignoring the fact that our bodies are just vessels for the soul. They evolved through the process of evolution, and Darwin showed examples through the study of the animals on various islands. He also showed how evolution can be highly specialized.

 

A prime example were the different types of beaks that evolved with the birds on each island. They became specialized to their environment.

 

My theory is, the energy you speak of is the energy of life. The lifeforce chi that permeates the universe and could very well be woven into the fabric of space/time. Concentrations of this energy provides the "spark" to turn inorganic molecules into organic chains. This could be the Higgs Boson particle that so far eludes scientific study.

 

Now, as far as intelligence goes, I am in agreement that it is older than most people can comprehend and being at the cusp of separate thought from other animals, we tap into what I call the stream of consciousness. I am not totally sure if this consciousness is older than the universe or not, but it has been proven to me to be linked to all forms of intelligence. Both local and alien. Whether this is actual background radiation energy or simply something that exists on its own...well one day I will further my study.

I don't know how you can say I'm ignoring that fact, when that's basically what I'm pointing out. Just read my signature quotes.

 

A prime example were the different types of beaks that evolved with the birds on each island.

 

Birds having different beaks particularly suited to their environment doesn't provide any proof of evolution. It just provides proof of different varieties of birds. Seeing a caterpillar turn into a butterfly is proof of it's evolution.

 

My theory is, the energy you speak of is the energy of life. The lifeforce chi that permeates the universe and could very well be woven into the fabric of space/time.

 

The Vedas say that There is 2 souls within every living entity, one is the the individual soul or atma & the other is the Supersoul or Paramatma (an expansion of God to watch over the individual soul). The Paramatma is described as existing within every atom of creation.

 

This could be the Higgs Boson particle that so far eludes scientific study.

 

I find it quite interesting that there's a large deity of Nataraja performing His dance of destruction right outside of CERN.

 

the stream of consciousness. I am not totally sure if this consciousness is older than the universe or not, but it has been proven to me to be linked to all forms of intelligence. Both local and alien. Whether this is actual background radiation energy or simply something that exists on its own

 

There's was a man named Edgar Cayce whom you have probably heard of. He was known as the sleeping prophet & was able to tap into what he called the Akashic records. A source of information that seemed to pervade global events & he was able to provide all kinds of info that would only be proven many years after his death.

 

Since this is the Apocalypse thread & deals with Egypt, it's interesting to note that Cayce in a trance said the Sphinx & the Pyramids are roughly 12,000 years old & were created by Atlanteans after the fall of Atlantis. Now despite that Zahi Hawass will deny this till his dying breath & advocate that they were built by Egyptians, I don't believe they were. Research has been done proving that much of the weathering around the Sphinx was caused by water erosion, which would put it's date back at least around 5,000 - 7,000 BC.

 

Cayce said there was a hidden chamber under the paw of the Sphinx, where 1 of 3 hall of Atlantean records were stored. Seismographic readings have been done proving that there is in fact several hidden chambers around the Sphinx but Zahi Hawass has prevented any further examination into their existence.

 

Akash is a Sanskrit word that refers to the sky or ether. Considering that this planet is enveloped in a magnetosphere, I would hypothesize that the world is actually creating a record of events just as we have done with magnetic cassette tape in the not so distant past.

Come on. If you're going to discuss something, do it factually. I don't see the point of debating something figuratively. Evolution is what it is. A caterpillar changing into a butterfly IS NOT EVOLUTION. There is no other factual way of looking at it BECAUSE IT'S NOT TRUE. And you KNOW it's not true. You wanna BS, I'm sure someone will be along.

[MetalPSI]

As for the lifeforce and all that stuff, I can debate that figuratively because it's all relative. Science has yet to prove/disprove such things. I doubt we will even get close in my lifetime.

 

As it stands, I am not adverse to learning and I like what you stated about the magentosphere cassette tape analogy. Seen that in several pop culture references, mostly the video game Final Fantasy. It deals with several concepts you have brought up.

[shadroch]

Saw the movie today.

First I need comment on the theater. It was one of 12 in a casino multiplex, one is IMAX, one is some special 3D and then you have ten smaller rooms. My room had 36 seats and room for six wheel chairs. Fully reclining leather seats with footrest, and they sell wine and beer.

 

As for the movie, it had some fun moments, and some ultra violent moments, but I'd give it a C at best. It wanders far from the source and has too many leaps of faithful for my taste.

I liked Civil War better, as flawed as that was.

[MetalPSI]

Sounds like a nice freaking theater though

[VintageComics]

They're building one of those down the street from us.

 

I've only ever been in one like that. It was in Charlotte NC and we saw X-men 1st Class there during Heroes Con. It was pretty amazing.

 

There is a restaurant and a bar and you can bring in dinner and drinks. Pretty neat, even surreal.

 

Except you smell everyone's food.

[shadroch]

Best part is it's $5 on Tuesday and Wednesday, all day and if you are 50, it's $4 until 6 pm weekdays.

Holy mess.

 

The closest thing I've ever been to is a place called Silver City which is a damn sexy theatre with a restaurant/bar inside. Love getting a light buzz on before the movie.

I took my grandson to see it today. We thought it was great, but I'm a little irritated that they felt the need for another needless f-bomb (3rd one in 3 films- though I admit Logan's was pretty funny in FC).

 

It really is hard to teach children the 'do's, don'ts, when's and when not's' of the proper use of language anymore. Sure I "cussed" when I was a kid, but that was due to exposure to other kids and some adults. Now it's everywhere in films that Marvel knows children will be seeing.

 

Captain America- First Avenger had no major profanity that I recall because f-bombs would not have sounded right in this period piece. Well you know what Marvel? If none of your films had any profanity in them, I doubt anyone would complain saying, "There just weren't enough F*cks and Sh*ts in this PG-13 film".

[MetalPSI]

You should instead instill in your grandson (and trust me, I am NOT someone who is a authority on such things, I am just some opinionated guy on the internet) that cursing is really beneath decent human beings, that is it for misguided people who have trouble communicating. It isn't their fault, just that they weren't taught the finer way to express themselves.

 

I've been blasted many times in the past for stating out right to people's faces when they talk "gangster" or whatever form its devolved into now, that they sound completely uneducated and ridiculous. It doesn't make them cool or interesting and its laughable.

 

I've since stopped caring about a lot of things, this being one of them. The last person I tried to care for and reach out to, couldn't be bothered to do anything to help themselves and expected others to do the work for them. It's the way things are going. So if they want to swear and further degenerate any refinement people strive for, let em.

 

My nieces and nephews know these people aren't anything but filler in life

Oh, we do . But when a theater filled with people start laughing because Magneto said, "Who the are you?", it's a step backwards.

Usually we wait until we've seen the film before we let him see it. Until he's older, we won't be taking him to see these films in the theater. We'll stick with Pixar films and the like... where he'll learn that farting in a group setting is socially acceptable

Going on eleven. Sure he's been exposed to them. We, as caregivers, want to minimize that exposure while he is at this impressionable age.

 

I've noticed some people treat other peoples children like toys in certain social gatherings. Once, during such a gathering, some of the younger folks present (mid twenties) saw our then 3 year old grandson poke one of the young ladies' boobs (not with any intent, just something a toddler does). If we were right there at the moment we would have gently stopped him. But then everyone present burst out in laughter, encouraging him to continue for at least 10-15 minutes before we noticed and put a stop to it, which had to have caused him confusion that a 3 year old would feel. They all thought it was cute and funny, which it was in an "at the moment" sort of way, but they never take into account that THEY'RE not the ones who have to raise the child responsibly. Allowing such a thing to go unchecked could cause some seriously embarrassing and uncomfortable moments when having to explain to teachers or principals or other parents.

 

How many of us know [of] people who rely solely on schools to mold their child's minds during these years, only to moan and groan to the world when said kids exhibit poor social skills during inappropriate settings?

"I don't know why he/she does this! They never learned it from me!" Chances are they never learned NOT to either.

It begins at home. Always has, and should always will.

Good to see that good parenting isn't going out of style.

 

I am not a parent myself, for intentional reasons, but I do appreciate other people's kids, especially when you can tell the parents spend the time required it takes to raise a child. They are different to interact with, and much more pleasant. They tend to be much more respectful to adults. They can even hold a level of conversation that is stimulating.

[Magneto]

Saw the film this afternoon and really enjoyed it. Expectations weren't too high going in and that always help, but it was good overall.

 

I was with a co-worker who knows nothing about comics and she had to see both this and Civil War this week and she said she enjoyed the X-Men movie more. Thought that was interesting.
