False religion doesn't, but I promote the true religion of Jesus Christ, or
the Law of Light, re-introduced to the world by the Prophet Art Bulla, His
Eyewitness and Apostle.
Brigham Young:
We are here to live, to spread intelligence and knowledge among the people.
I am here to school my brethren, to teach my family the way of life, to
propagate my species, and to live, if in my power, until sin, iniquity,
corruption, hell, and the Devil, and all classes and grades of abominations
are driven from the earth. That is my religion and the object of my
existence. We are not here merely to prepare to die, and then die; but we
are here to live and build up the Kingdom of God on the earth -- to promote
the Priesthood, overcome the powers of Satan, and teach the children of man
what they are created for -- that in them is concealed the germ of all
intelligence. Here is the starting-point -- the foundation that is laid in
the organization of man for receiving a fulness of eternal knowledge and
glory. Are we to go yonder to obtain it? No; we are to promote it on this
earth. 8:282.
~~Discourses of Brigham Young, Pg.88
Quantum mechanics has proved itself to be a half-baked science at best, in
the 'spirit' of action-at-a-distance physics opposed by William 'kelvin'
Thomson and Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell; it is a "grade of
abomination" not much better, in the long run, than speculative notions of
biological Evolution. Quantum mechanics, for instance, deals only with
transverse electrodynamic waves (perpendicular to direction of light
propagation) and ignores the reality of longitudinal waves.

Monstein and J.P. Wesley and published in Europhysics Letters, 59 (4), pp.

Abstract. - Theoretically scalar potential [Phi] waves with a longitudinal
electric field [vector E] in the direction of propagation must exist. A
centrally fed ball antenna, 6 cm diameter, producing a pulsating 433.59MHz
spherical source charge, generated such a wave, that was detected by an
identical ball antenna. The longitudinality of [vector E] was demonstrated
by intervening a cubic array of 9 half-wavelength wires, that absorbed the
wave when the wires were parallel (but not when perpendicular) to the
direction of propagation. The signal from the ball antenna source, placed
4.0m above ground and receiver 4.4m above ground, was measured as a function
of distance, yielding satisfactory agreement with theory, including 2
expected interference minima produced by an image source induced in the
Earth.
...
Theory. -
...
Thus, the elementary theory, compatible with Maxwell theory, yields the
necessary conclusion that scalar [Phi], or longitudinal [vector E], or
Coulomb electrodynamic waves must exist. The usual assumption that such
waves cannot exist has no theoretical justification.
...
Longitudinal electrodynamic waves transport the energy across a parallel
plate condenser. -
It is well known that energy can be transmitted from one plate of a parallel
plate condenser to the other. Thus, it is trivially obvious that energy is
transmitted in the direction of an electric [vector E] field across the
condenser. Since normally the plates are much closer than a wavelength
apart, this is usually assumed to be no proof of longitudinal electrodynamic
waves. Yet the theory presented above is quite independent of the size of
the wavelength; so the flow of energy across an ordinary condenser does, in
fact, demonstrate the existence of longitudinal electrodynamic waves. One of
us (Monstein) extended the distance between two parallel plates of a
parallel plate condenser from near to more than a wavelength and continued
to register a flow of energy from one plate to the other, as expected from
the theory for longitudinal electrodynamic waves.
Demonstration of the longitudinality of the observed waves. -
...
The fractional energy transmitted, the transmission coefficient T, for the
longitudinal waves passing between the 9 wires in the polarizer-analyzer
should have precisely the same dependence on [Psi]. Thus, the theoretical
result eq. (9) can be chosen to fit the observations when [Kai] = 4.4, as
shown in fig. 3. Since transverse electrodynamic waves with the E vector
perpendicular to both the wires and to the direction of propagation would
pass unhampered through the polarizer-analyzer, the observed absorption of
the signal for [Psi] = 0 is clear evidence that a longitudinal wave is
involved and not a transverse wave. This then demonstrates that longitudinal
electrodynamic waves can, and do, exist.

principles, and an evil man evil things. I feel, in the name of the Lord,

out whom you are going after. I exhort you to give heed to all the virtue
and the teachings which I have given you.

Children being used as 'guinea pigs' in mass Wi-Fi experiment, warn teachers
by LAURA CLARK
2nd August 2007
The use of wireless computer networks in classrooms should be immediately
suspended until an inquiry has fully investigated the health threat to
millions of pupils, a teachers' chief urged yesterday.
Philip Parkin, the General Secretary of the Professional Association of
Teachers, said that children were effectively acting as guinea pigs because
the risk posed by 'wi-fi' networks had not yet been thoroughly considered.
He said scientific evidence prompted him to question the safety of the
systems already introduced in 15,000 schools across the UK.
Wireless technology has been linked with loss of concentration, fatigue,
reduced memory and headaches. There are also claims that it could increase
the long-term risk of cancer.
Addressing the PAT's annual conference in Harrogate, Mr Parkin said: "My
real concern is that until there is a full inquiry based on both existing
evidence and on newlycommissioned research work, the nation's children are
being treated as guinea pigs in a large-scale experiment."
Mr Parkin's demand for an inquiry follows a similar call from Britain's top
health watchdog, the chairman of the Health Protection Agency.
Sir William Stewart said in May that a review of the health effects of wi-fi
networks was 'timely' amid fears they could pose greater dangers than
previously thought.
Wi-fi systems use high frequency radio waves to transmit and receive data
over distances of several hundred feet.
They allow users to surf the internet within range of a wireless transmitter
and remove the need to connect via a cable.
Some 70 per cent of primary schools and 81 per cent of secondaries have
already introduced wi-fi, according to official figures, and it is being
fitted as standard in all new state schools, including academies.
A typical comprehensive has ten wi-fi transmitters spread around the
premises. If a school has thick walls, there may be many more. Children are
thought to be more vulnerable to electro-magnetic radiation due to their
thinner skulls and still-developing nervous systems.
A recent BBC Panorama programme claimed a wi-fi network in a Norwich
comprehensive gave off three times as much radiation as a typical phone
mast, though some scientists have queried the programme's claims.
Guidance circulated to PAT members calls on schools to dismantle wi-fi
networks immediately and replace them with cables. If this is impossible,
they should measure radiation levels around the school and put warning signs
at hotspots.
The PAT is urging the Government to revise advice to schools which says
wi-fi networks pose "no appreciable risk to children or others in schools".
Mr Parkin has given his 35,000-strong union an advice document compiled by a
PAT member who suffered a violent reaction after wi-fi was introduced at his
public school.
Michael Bevington, a classics teacher at Stowe School, became too ill to
teach after suffering headaches, pains, flushes, pressure behind the eyes
and nausea. He has since conducted a study of research into electro-magnetic
radiation and believes official advice on wi-fi is "inaccurate".
Earlier this year, Professor Lawrie Challis, chairman of a Government
sponsored telecommunications research programme, warned of the dangers of
children using wi-fi-enabled laptops on their knees, when the wi-fi
transmitter would be only 2 cm from the child's body.
Despite its chairman's call, the Health Protection Agency considers there to
be "no consistent evidence of health effects from wi-fi".
Last night Children's Minister Kevin Brennan insisted that wi-fi was safe.
He said: "The Health Protection Agency has consistently advised that it does
not consider there to be a problem with the safety of wi-fi.
"It is widely used in homes, offices and in public areas."

Did you know that:
1. Every second, day and night, classrooms are being penetrated by radio
waves from broadcast radio, satellite radio, television, police radio,
fire radio, ham radio, mobile telephones, and others.
2. Computer cables, electrical wires, telephone lines are all radiate
cylindrical electromagnetic fields.
3. Computer monitors give off all kinds of radiation, mostly through the
back.
4. The typical classroom is constantly bathed in cosmic rays, neutrinos,
and huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation in the 400-700 nm band from
both solar and artificial sources.

Probably because the programme's claims are completely wank.

Interestingly, people like this never can pass a double blind test
designed to let them demonstrate that they can actually tell when they are
exposed to electromagnetic fields.

Probably because there is "no consistent evidence of health effects from
wi-fi." Same as for electromagnetic fields around transmission lines,
etc.

How sad for you that Jesus Christ was a liar and a
mountebank, who claimed to be going to return to
earth in the lifetimes of those present, and some
130 human generations later, has failed to keep that
appointment.
Bones McCoy said it best "He's dead, Jim".
There's no magic, no fairy tale "salvation", dead is
dead, for you just as for the least important single
celled organism. The universe doesn't work like
theists claim it does.
Cope.
Better yet, live your one and only life sanely,
rather than wasting it pursuing a goal which is
simply a lie told by adults to gullible little
children.
Stendahl was in a pretty good second place: "God's
only excuse is that he doesn't exist".
Failures are the only results attempts to prove the
existence of _any_ deity have _ever_ produced.
There's a clue hidden in that dataset for those
clever enough to catch it.
> Brigham Young:
[snip]
Perhaps Brigham Young never read 1 Nephi 18:25, or
he'd have the same opinion anyone reading that
intensely counterfactual claim with an open mind
would eventually achieve, which is that Joseph
Smith, Jr., was a mountebank and a liar, one who
made up an ecosystem for 600 BC for western South
America, based on the animals he found as a farm boy
in 19th century eastern North America.
The problem with his account is, not a creature his
supposed eye-witness, Nephi, claimed to have seen,
existed at all in that place and time. They all
arrived with Europeans, roughly 2000 years later.
That makes Nephi no eyewitness, just someone JSjr
invented, and Nephi along with all the rest of the
Book of Mormon, fictional characters and accounts.
It is so badly written, it isn't even entertaining
as fiction.
About the third time I read The Book of Mormon
straight through [I was married to a practicing LDS
for 14 years, idle curiosity does that kind of stuff
to you], I took notes on all the _easily_ identified
counterfactual claims and descriptions it contained.
I managed to cover the two sides of a de-eamed,
flattened lunch sack with them, in tiny pencil
print.
That's only a list of the stuff in the Book of
Mormon that's wrong that can be picked out with just
ordinary common sense.
I'm sure a scholar of South American archeology
could fill several books with a list of what the
Book of Mormon says that happens not to be true, and
why it isn't true.
If the foundations of _your_ religious belief are
based on the opinions of men who were incapable of
distinguishing fact from fiction, of telling the
claims of a mountebank from the revelations of a
true prophet, what chance does _your_ set of beliefs
have to be any more correct than the Bible that
claims rabbits chew their cud, or than the random
screaming of religious fanatics found on street
corners in any large city, or than the youth who think
of going to market wrapped in dynamite as a way
to get ahead in life?

What evidence do you wish to bring forward that will convince the
skeptic that what you say is so?

So that slip in the whale Star Trek movie about Spock suffering from too
much LDS was deliberate? I admit it took some time for me to place it.
