Dont you see the falacy here, you believe your prophets who said "it makes
sense" but lived and breathed with the littlest of educational resources, and no
understanding of physics or the way the world works. You belive the tablets were
made by God, or at least the words were, yet there are no photographs, no one
alive has ever seen them, basically, there is no evidence to support their
existence. Have you never heard of Ptolemy? He discovered the earth was a
sphere 2000 years ago, and accuratly measured the Earths Diameter. How could
such a vital piece of information not demonstrate the error of your ways? Could
it be that your meme filters out all that doesnt fit your aesthetic intellectual
tastes?
