Hey, i thought id start a new thread to discover what people feel they are most qualified to talk about with regards to the various topics on this forum. From specific scientific knowlage about evolution or psychology, to the history of certain religious scripture, all is good. Im not limiting it to educational qualifications only mind. Personal interest and time spent researching is good too.

I feel this will be of benefit to me and hopefully others, with regards to directing any specific questions one might have. I thought this topic might prove a usefull resource, especially in response to the various educational threads popping up. Also its nice to learn a little more about fellow users, which will hopefully be of benefit to future disscussions.


I'll go first:
Im a medical student, and feel i have a good knowlage of the human body so far as i've studied. I take a special interest in Neuroscience which ive been studying recently. I also have a long lived interest in evolution, ever since its introduction in school. Ive done a fair bit of additional research in my own time on it since, and feel qualified to talk about it on here, even though its not strictly part of my university course even though we deal with a fair amount of genetics.

I started a thread like this a while back - I'll see if I can find it.

I specialize in Biblical interpretation and ancient philosophy. I'm completing a Ph.d. in New Testament, and my major emphasis is the roles of Greek and Roman philosophy in shaping the creation and interpretation of the Christian documents.

BA in Graphic Design, Degree in Fim/TV Production, and Licenced Journeyman Electrician....Nope. No official qualifications to discuss anything here,LoL.

However, I also have read voraciously for my whole life on topics from Science to Mysticism, and back again And I have a great deal of practical experience with mysticism, such as : past life regression, lucid dreaming, clairvoyance/astral projection, divination methods, practical sorcery, plant magick/alchemy/psychedlics, pranic control and conditioning, gemstones, tarot, tribal artwork and ceremonial practices, self-hypnosis, psychic healing, object reading/psychometry, mediumship/channelling spirits (real and imaginary), exorcism/banishment of malignant influences (a pre-requisite to the previous lol), druidism,shamanism, voodoo ceremonies and fortelling someones future, among other things

You will have to tell me about these various practical experiences like sorcery, alchemy etc.Would be intruiging to hear your point of view on such things.

Perhaps I could start a thread under the 'magic' heading.

I've been a PC builder and troubleshooter and currently doing tech support for internet and VOIP service. Meanwhile I'm going to community college as a Nursing major. I just found out last week that I got accepted into clinicals (it's very competitive and a year's backlog to boot). So if you need some duct tape on your dongle or a bandaid on your boo boo, I'm your man.

As for religion, I'm no expert. I probably believed I was at one time, but now I know better.
