Why We Should Be Nice To Christians

None Of Those Pesky Baptists Here!

There has been great excitement at Noble Prize Winner Paul Davies using the word ‘God’ in the past. The Christians have screamed that now science has proved them right and that atheists are totally wrong.

But when Paul Davies was questioned on his belief in ‘God’, he talked of vague possibilities of a universal designer/guider, etc, to which he applied the G word.

There was really no genuine support for the Christian God so much versus Allah, Zeus, Odin or something Wiccan.

But it seems the slightest smidgen of false hope makes you the blessed and beloved of those whose lives are built around what many of us believe to be false hope in the extreme.

So let us be kinder to Christians etc. and like Paul Davies, receive blessings from them.

Frames of Reference… choose your centre!

Can the anti-Christians prove that the Earth is NOT the centre of the universe? Of course not! If you use a model of the solar system with the sun in the centre (as we will do below), then you have a much simpler model to understand. 

But simpler models have been produced over the centuries with the Earth as the centre, and while they are more complicated mechanically, it does not make them false, and by itself prove Christianity false in any way.

Apparently some heathen South Pacific islanders stick their outrigger paddles in the water, and believe they remain stationary while they pull the world behind them.

Many New-Earthers, Wiccans, etc gasp in admiration at this ‘insight’. At this point Christians might gasp and complain how illogical the anti-Christians are in attacking them for an Earth centred Solar System, but applauding some heathen for having a personal self-centred world.

On the Full Moon near the June Solstice

On the June Solstice, the North Pole inclines towards the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere has long days and short nights. The full moon rises near sunset and sets near sunrise, thus making a short full moon period.

In the Southern Hemisphere the converse is true: the days are short and the nights are longer and there are longer periods of a full moon in the night sky.

So again, what’s this got to do with Birthdate Traits?

There are already many reported medical and other types of differences between summer and winter births. For example, winter babies score better in IQ tests than summer babies.

As so often happens, one set of observations could lead to many questions as to what may be seem to be correlation but are not necessarily causation.

For instance:

• Do the results change with latitude and varying levels of sunlight?
• Do the results vary between pre-electric light communities (India still has many) and those with electric lights?
• Do the results change with altitude and outside temperature?
• Do the results vary when air conditioners are adopted in various communities?

Well, if the above questions can provide baselines for future research, perhaps you can get funds from Climate Change funds.

Until the next full moon, may the big ‘G’ bless all those who fly first  class on the flying spaghetti monster!
