Geographic Information Systems
Some 35,000 years ago, Cro-Magnon hunters drew pictures of the animals they hunted on the walls of caves near Lascaux, France, (fig. 1). Associated with the animal drawings are track lines and tallies thought to depict migration routes. These early records followed the two-element structure of modern geographic information systems (GIS): a graphic file linked to an attribute database.
No, I do not watch TBN, too much false stuff on there for me. It is easy to label what you don't understand or what may not be what you are use to. Truth can be stranger than fiction.
1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Are as the angels of God in heaven.
Jude verse 6: And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
These angels are not in heaven but in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. The angels that are presently in heaven will never leave their first habitation as they know better. Apparently it was a test these angels failed as did the many that followed Satan, then Lucifer into damnation.
Donno. When it gets past 69, I lose interest.
I agree that these appear to be produced by humans, but I would be curious why you think you don't know the history. I think if you saw any painting or depiction you would infer a history. But there are cases where you might be wrong. There are certainly natural phenomena that resemble carved figures. There are certainly objects that are argued about.
What is the objective method used to make the determination?
"Problems exist such as the Cambrian explosion"
It is not a problem. In recent years many more examples of precambrian fossils have been found. Calling the Cambrian an "explosion" is a bit of a stretch, anyway. It was over millions of years. We see the evolution of forms from the beginning of the Cambrian to the end. How does ID explain that? Does every little detail of anatomy change get separately designed?
Science doesn't waste its time investigating "systems" that are fantasies of misinterpreters of the Bible.
"Ever heard of writing?"
Sure we have heard of writing. Now, just show us some dinosaur writing and we will discard the theory of evolution.
What about the appearance of the face of Jesus or Mary that no one drew on a building, rock etc.? How does Andrew tell whether someone drew those or not?
What about the face of Jesus on that pancake that was sold on Ebay?
"Many would have been descendants of Seth but they certainly were not sons of God."
How many of Noah's family were asian? How many were Swedish?
Which of his family settled in the Congo?
"The angels that are presently in heaven will never leave their first habitation as they know better."
You would think an angel designed directly by God would "know better" before he got hammered.
"What is the objective method used to make the determination?" Since cavemen drew monkeys, it is obvious they were still there after humans were designed. So, evolution is false.
A list of possibilites INCLUDED "ones I haven't thought of."
And when I elaborate on that, you get huffy and say it ain't so.
HMmmm.............
(It was Mary on the flap, jack.)
Chill, Dude. I'm sorry if I accused of something you had not intended. I just saw it as a similar thing as DNA, that's all.
My knowledge of 6800 code started in '77, when I first realized that programmable devices could simulate a whole LOT of hardwired circuitry. (This was the days when the first S-100 buss home computers were being sold, and S-100 memory was going for about $100 for 1k, on a circuit-board half the size of this keyboard!)
At an eletronic manufacturing symposium, I took notice of a small breadboard setup that was displaying an LED 7 segment clock. After talking to the rep, and discovering it was a microcomputer kit, I just HAD to have one. So I plunked down my $300 bucks and received: A 6800 CPU, a 6820 I/O chip, 8 7 segment displays, a hexidecimal key pad, about 2k of ROM and a whopping 256 BYTES of RAM!
This baby would load programs at a BLINDING 300 baud from any old taperecorder, and, after typing in the clock code, the wife says, after I am just AMAZED that it works, "So; we have a three hundred dollar clock."; totally unimpressed.
The ROM had the LED drivers in a subroutine, the keys were de-bounced in a subroutine, the I/O of the tape was handled as well in ROM. I found really fast that to get this thing to do much, I had to make REALLY tight code.
I managed to interface an ASCII keyboard to it as well as a ASCII output board (TV interface) so I could type things and they'd appear on the screen. Now THAT was a bit more impressive, since very few people had ANY access to computing in those days.
ASSEMBLY language? Bah! Hand coding was the only thing that worked on this machine. Although I found out later that BIG computers have the programs available to write things for the breadboard.)
Getting back to YOUR code, I have no way to tell if it could be done 'better'.
If it functions as the Designer intended, I'd leave it alone. Now, if the Designer would like to use less memory or faster loops, then the parameters have changed and a re-look IS called for.
Good luck.
You have shown yourself on this thread to be an undiscerning biblical illiterate. You did not come up with your crazy ideas about angels mating with humans, etc., all by yourself. Which grifter did you get it from? One of the biggest religious kooks that pedals that lie is Chuck Missler. Was it him?
Regardless of who it is, I will guarantee you that you will find his/her "ministry" listed at one of the counter-cult websites like this one
That looks like a cross between Planet of the Apes and The Man in the Iron Mask.
Cheers!
Ah, those were the days.
I once tuned an IBM RS/6000 to run a molecular dynamics code within 10% of the speed of a Cray X-MP.
Replaced the numerical loops in the Adams-Moulton numerical integration package with the IBM BLAS equivalents.
(Other changes left unmentioned so I can feel smug.) :-)
Cheers!
