But how will we know when the aliens will arrive, how do we know where to look for Bigfoot, where else can we hear so much doom and gloom. From experts I mean of course.
Actually I heard it was Pastor Rick Warren and some of the Saddleback members, but only the aliens know for sure.
The Library of Alexandria was burned down or alleged to have been burned or destroyed several times.
Its even questionable whether it still existed as such in the Christian era.
Coast to Coast, not worth listening too any more.
Riley L. Martin (born May 9, 1946) is a self-described alien contactee, author, and radio host. Martin is the author of the book The Coming of Tan [1], which describes his life and his alleged abduction by aliens. He currently hosts The Riley Martin Show on the Sirius Satellite Radio channel Howard 101. He had another weekly radio show, The Official Riley Martin Radio Show, but he chose not to continue the show due to to financial issues.[2]
I get my news from Howard
A quick search says something a little different:
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria
Ancient and modern sources identify four possible occasions for the destruction of the Library:
1. Julius Caesar’s Fire in The Alexandrian War, in 48 BC
2. The attack of Aurelian in the Third century AD;
3. The decree of Theophilus in 391 AD;
4. The Muslim conquest in 642 AD or thereafter.
With lots of details following (to long to post) but this part applies to this post:
“mr ibn al ‘Aas conquest in 642
Several historians told varying accounts of a Arab army led by Amr ibn al ‘Aas sacking the city in 642 after the Byzantine army was defeated at the Battle of Heliopolis, and that the commander asked the caliph Umar what to do with the library. He gave the famous answer: “They will either contradict the Koran, in which case they are heresy, or they will agree with it, so they are superfluous.” The Arabs subsequently burned the books to heat bathwater for the soldiers.[19][20] It was also said that the Library’s collection was still substantial enough at this late date to provide six months’ worth of fuel for the baths.[21] However, this account has been dismissed by some as a legend.[17] While the first Western account of the supposed event was in Edward Pococke’s 1663 translation of History of the Dynasties, it was dismissed as a hoax or propaganda as early as 1713 by Fr. Eusèbe Renaudot. Over the centuries, numerous succeeding scholars have agreed with Fr. Renaudot’s conclusion, including Alfred J. Butler, Victor Chauvin, Paul Casanova and Eugenio Griffini.[17] More recently, in 1990, noted Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis argued that the original account is not true, but that it survived over time because it was a useful myth for the great Twelfth century Muslim leader Saladin, who found it necessary to break up the Fatimid caliphate’s collection of heretical Isma’ili texts in Cairo following his restoration of Sunnism to Egypt. Lewis proposes that the story of the caliph Umar’s support of a library’s destruction may have made Saladin’s actions seem more acceptable to his people.[22]”
Lots of other sites debunk the claim.
Also none of these references blame Christians for the burning.
noory is a frekin fool
But from what I know of the politics of Alexandria VA, a few torched copies of "Heather Has Two Mommies" is no loss.
George Noorey should be ashamed of himself for the unamerican, anti-western crap he puts on the air.
FYI
Which is no doubt why secular liberals have everyone studying Latin, Greek, and ancient dead white western male authors now...Whoops! Apparently, it doesn't really matter to them whether the library was burned or not. They're all banned now anyway. Try getting a serious conversation going about about the works of Plato and Aristotle. No, folks, Truth is impossible they say at Harvard and Yale so...
They don't even want to acknowledge the truth claims in The Declaration of Independence.
While driving into the office this morning I heard the "expert" guest on Coast to Coast tell everyone not once but several times it was the terrible Christians that burned down the Library at Alexandria.What a goofball.
Next Christians will be blamed for 'Globular Warming' (sic)
I have in on good authority the library was actually burned by an ancestor of George W Bush. I will be presenting this startling data in the near future on Coast to Coast while accompanied by my “out of this world” girlfriend.
“Klaatu barada nikto!”
More junk science.
