in thread RFC: Is the Bible encoded in DNA?

Speaking of interplanetary travel it may be worth mentioning that the quran predicted the moon landing.

So you may find god's signature in the DNA or the bible, advanced math in the vedas, but tomorrows lottery numbers may be hidden in the quran.

In terms of practical value it should be a no-brainer which holy book to study.

    If your book suggests that seeking money thru the lottery is good, I have to inform you that your beliefs are flawed. Money is the blood of Babylon. One should not ask God for any material gains.... it's bad form.

      And I always thought that "greed is good" was from the bible but it actually is from a movie...

      I'll probably go to hell just because I did not check my sources...

    That way you can twist anything into prophecy of anything. I bet you would have no problem twisting a quote from a similar book, the Mein Kampf, to prophesy moon landing or the fall of the Twins or anything else.

    In terms of practical value neither Quran nor Mein Kampf ought to be found anywhere but in museums and selected libraries. For exactly the same reasons.

      Thin ice.

      Putting these two books into the same bracket would probably constitute hate-speech in some western-european countries.

        I know the list is very incomplete. I ought to add at least Das Kapital. It served as an inspiration to socialists both international and national and is responsible for all the tens of millions of deaths in Soviet union, Nazi Germany, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea and Latin america. By including that I'm certain the naive souls in current Western Europe would go ballistic.

        But it's true we went way OT here :-)
