Missing Link - explained

Do the terms metaphor and parable mean anything to you?

The serpent is (as it is in many cultures) a metaphor for change - this because they renew themselves by casting off their old skin to grow. By eating from the tree of knowledge man lost (cast off) his old skin (innocence) and gained knowledge, which led to us growing and creating civilization - the move from hunter-gatherer (living off the garden) to agriculture.

That part of Genesis is parable.

The nature of God too is writ large with metaphor, but neither scientist or priest has evidence enough to prove their point. Both sides think they do, but that's ego.

Religious people then move to faith, and that's OK. Science pursues "truth" and finds more questions with their answers, and that too is OK. Just as long as bilateral respect is shown. Ridicule is not respect.

Lately science finds that the universe could well be a hologram projected from a gigantic 2 dimensional surface, meaning the 3rd dimensional nature of "reality" could well be illusory.

Sounds like a gigantic 3D display device of some kind, which begs two questions: who wrote this giant game of Sim Universe and who's playing it?

Today IBM announced a generation of chips based on human neurons. Right now the number of neurons is small and limited to about 260,000 synapses, but they are already talking about scaling them up to a near-human number of synapses. Also announced was the discovery of how some parts of the brain discriminate and integrate data. Imagine the latter being built into the former.

Now imagine a game of Sim Universe where each character has an intelligence processor. Are they sentient? Partial, taking cues from a "player"? If at all sentient how would they interpret those cues? Some entity speaking to them?

Think about this; how extensive could this nesting be? Are we sentient Sims?

Here we go. since you assume 7day is 7dx24h=168Hours and the world was made. In your dreams. When the bible takes about god making the world in 7 days, Its pointing to 7 days in (heaven). The bible say 1 day in heaven is 1000 years on earth.

How ever I still think the translation is wrong.

It would take more then 7000 years @ 49,000 Earth Hours to crate planet(s) and a star system.

now if 1 day in heaven is 100,000 earth years that would make scene at 700,000 years @ 4.9M earth hours.

or better yet. 1 day in heaven is 1Million earth years, 7Million years @ 49M Earth hours is even more believable

I think the translation of the scripture is off by a few 0's when it relates heaven time vs earthly time. But it would make scene in science terms as well as in scripture terms.

But since time is irreverent and dose not exist. We will never know the real calculation between heaven and earth, since heaven is forever and earth is temporary.

Heaven must be pretty busy with that time difference. By my rough calculation that means around 50 billion people arriving in heaven every day. How does St. Peter manage all those people?

Another myth. When people die they do not go directly to hell or heaven.

you have to wait for something called (dare I say it) The grate Rapture. ya jokes aside.

After the Grate Rapture there's suppose to be a 7 years of Tribulation were the anti Christ Rises and the battle for Souls and the war of Armageddon Happens.

Fast Foreword a bit, The Second Death happens. its were all the The land and the seas give up all the people and the book of life is opened. (In other words thats going to be one very lonnnnnnggggg day...lol) If you hate waiting.. get use to it.lol

As far as I know the only ones that made it to heaven right away are the 144,000 appointed ones. Which is up for debate if all 144,000 have all ready be picked or there still picking. The rest have to wait.
