I thought it interesting that a geology course I took mentioned
dowsing even though the professor didn't really take it seriously.
However dowsing (and drilling) can only deplete our aquifers even more
than they are.
And?
Maybe he can help you enhance that fluidization
perpetual motion wamboozy machine you've been
hoping to patent..
Bret did well - completely missing the point, again.
Don't you think it's a refreshing change from your tin foil hat?
Bret Cahill
_My_ tin foil hat? Excuse me, but the only reason I
googled up this guy is that you claimed that all the
dumb socialist Swedes in the world were paranoid
about the sea levels rising. I found one who's paranoid
about something else.
Getting mixed up with LaRouche is bat crap insane.
Trying to mainstream yourself with LaRouche is . . . . they don't have
a term for it yet.

Quran Means "Recitation"
The word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is
dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it
something that reaches us only in written form.
The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in
museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in
Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in
England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is only considered "Quran" while
it is in the recitation form, not in the written or the book form. The
word for what is written and held in the hand to be read by the eye is
called "mus-haf" (meaning script or that which is written down).
Only One Version – Arabic
There are no different versions of the Quran in the Arabic language,
only different translations and of course, none of these would be
considered to hold the value and authenticity of the original Arabic
Recitation. The Quran is divided up into 30 equal parts, called
"Juz’" (parts) in the Arabic language. These are learned by Muslims
from their very early beginnings as children.
لَوْ أَنْزَلْنَا هَذَا الْقُرْآَنَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ لَرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا
مُتَصَدِّعًا مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا
لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (21) هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا
إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ
الرَّحِيمُ (22) هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ
الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ
الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (23)
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ
الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ
الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (24)
21. If WE had sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, thou wouldst,
certainly, have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of ALLAH .
And these are similitudes that WE set forth for mankind that they may
reflect.
22. HE is ALLAH and there is no god beside HIM, the Knower of the
unseen and the seen. HE is the Gracious, the Merciful.
23. HE is ALLAH and there is no god beside HIM, the Sovereign, the
Holy One, the Source of peace, the Bestower of security, the
Protector, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Exalted. Holy is ALLAH, far
above that which they associate with HIM.
24. HE is ALLAH, the creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. HIS are the
most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth
glorifies HIM, and HE is the Mighty, the Wise.
(Alhashr 21-24)

Please forgive us for any disturbance,
============================================
No.
*plonk*
Do not reply to this generic message, it was automatically generated;
you have been kill-filed, either for being boringly stupid, repetitive,
unfunny, ineducable, repeatedly posting politics, religion or off-topic
subjects to a sci. newsgroup, attempting cheapskate free advertising
for profit, because you are a troll, because you responded to George
Hammond the complete fruit cake, simply insane or any combination
or permutation of the aforementioned reasons; any reply will go unread.
Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because
this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are
left to decide which is most applicable to you.
There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically
admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would
wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill-
filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value
as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the
dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the
same spot and repeat the process eternally.
This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing
that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry
or crackpot theories without challenge.
You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The
kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I
purchase a new computer or hard drive.
Update: the last clearance was 25/12/09. Some individuals have been
restored to the list.
I'm fully aware that you may be so stupid as to reply, but the purpose
of this message is to encourage others to kill-file fuckwits like you.
I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't,
damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day and fuck off.

"Recitation," like English "nursery rhymes" or Catholic "catechism"...
"Faith" means 'not empirically demonstrable.'
Physics is a science, requiring mathematical and/or logical theory
that is independently verified through testing by those who doubt. My
observations over the past several years tell me that Islam is short
on tolerance of doubters.
"Unnecessary messages" snipped.
