Actually, I was quoting Proverbs 17.

[Zeku]

What the fictional character sherlock said was, "Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be true."

That silly assumption is what I consider to be the foundation of all human error: it implies that all information is 'known,' and completely ignores the possibility that there are unknowns which completely obviate all existing logic and information.

Do we just throw up our hands then, because we can't possibly know the truth? No, we indulge in humility.

Humility starts with "I am wrong." Any human endeavour that does not start with this phrase is doomed.



Edit: I'll throw you a bone here: The 'different' type of evil that required those ancient civilizations to be destroyed was intercourse with celestial beings, ie fallen angels. These are the 'giants' of greek mythology, goliath, etc. This is why the flood was required, and why genocide was required against the canaanites. These partial-humans threatened to destroy (not militarily, but genetically) the bloodline through which Christ was prophecied to be born.

[Zeku]

That simple phrase, (I am wrong, and God is right) is the foundation stone of all knowledge, and the doorway to God himself.

I realize that's just a bunch of nonsense to you, of course. But I just think it's interesting to watch someone walk up to the door, run their hand over it, and then turn away.

You'll go through when it's your turn, and hopefully not drop-kicked.

Zeku, you sound like a great big racist using the bible to cover up and justify your feelings about bloodlines.

i was going to try to put up some logical argument against the existance of these demigods, but really, what's the point? it's like trying to discuss the role of elves in mythology with someone who has memorized the lord of the rings, and read nothing else.

It's up to zeku to actually prove the existence of these giants and demi-gods. But since zeku puts no stock in repeatable, testable hypothesis or existing evidence, then it really is pointless.

If you're a troll, hats off to you, if you really believe in what you say, then I weep for the gene pool.

[WheelsOfConfusion]

Zeku's beliefs about the Nephilim are far less interesting than his take on humility and knowledge!

LEEEEEEEEPRECHAUNS!

for the sake of argument I'll say that humility starts with gratitude.
