Vote For Trump. He Wont Let Owning A Bible Become Illegal

That would be very hard to prove. Now is there any reliable evidence for alien visitors to Earth? None that I know of.

Not one that I’ve seen either...
Careful - we seem to be -agreeing a lot... (yes I like to laugh)

I don't believe in aliens, or ghosts - or Voodoo..
But that’s just me - I respect someone if they do.
It doesn’t bother me none-

"Fallen television evangelist Jim Bakker lost his lucrative PTL ministry and later wife Tammy Faye after a scandal and his conviction for bilking followers out of $158 million. Now he's rebuilding his life with a brand-new wife.

Bakker, 58, married Lori Beth Graham of Phoenix on Sept. 4, Bakker's publicist said.After serving five years in prison, Bakker now works for a Los Angeles church without salary. His new wife, who is in her early 40s, is a youth counselor in a program associated with the First Assembly Church of Phoenix.

Bakker resigned as PTL president in 1987 when he learned a newspaper was about to report his 1980 sexual encounter with church secretary Jessica Hahn. He was divorced from Tammy Faye, who appeared with him on PTL television shows, six years ago. She has since married Bakker's former best friend."

Ok Thanks... for some reason I thought he died.

Jim Baker is selling a Trump prayer coin for $45, the prayer proceeds of which are going to help re-elect our POTUS in 2020.

Not critical, I just don't understand your point

I’m just trying to - hold a conversation.
You don’t have to say - what’s your point!?
And be condescending - by thanking me for letting everyone know - about Wikipedia...

Just state how I’m wrong - I may understand you..
But now... I’m going to be a bit biased - on stuff you’ll try to tell me...

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...

It's not a matter of being wrong, it's a matter of you saying something which clearly seemed to imply you were disparaging wikipedia, you say that isn't what your point was, and me trying to understand why you would just randomly drop facts about wikipedia into a discussion where they don't seem immediately relevant... unless your point was to discredit wikipedia.

I'm sorry I asked.

Minus a small handling fee, I'm sure.

Can you imagine how these people would have frothed at a coin featuring Obama with Jesus like that?

Disparaging Wikipedia by saying anyone can edit?

And it was relevant - since somebody's comment was “Wikipedia says”.

Is it not true anyone can edit Wikipedia?
is it discrediting Wikipedia, by saying that anyone can edit Wikipedia?

I know - there is no such thing as aliens -
.
....I know there likely are or very well might have been extraterrestrial beings.

There is evidence for a mark of extraterrestrial intelligence left in our genetic code as evident by how the numeric and semantic message of 037 appears in our genetic code.

This is evident to me by how each codon relates to 3 other particular codons having the same particular type of initial nucleobase and sequential nucleobase subsequently then followed by a different ending nucleobase. Half of these 4 set of codon groups ( whole family codons ) each code for the same particular amino acid. The other half of those 4 set of codon groups ( split codons ) don't code for the same amino acid. So then, in the case of whole family codons, there are 37 amino acid peptide chain nucleons for each relevant nucleobase determinant of how a particular amino acid gets coded. Start codons express 0 at the beginning of 37 Hence, the meaningful numeric and semantic message of 037 gets unambiguously and factually conveyed to us present day Earthling human beings with our genetic code invented by a superior intelligence beyond that of anybody presently bound to Earth.

But that does not mean that it is unreliable. There have been studies done on Wikipedia and it is just as reliable as any other on-line encyclopedia. The least accurate parts of Wikipedia tend to be the popular culture articles. Basic science is almost always spot on and history appears to be very reliable too. Of course if one Google searches this Wiki's own articles on this come out on top but other sources say the same thing:

How Accurate Is Wikipedia?

Study shows Wikipedia Accuracy is 99.5%

http://snap.stanford.edu/soma2010/papers/soma2010_18.pdf

I would not go to Wikipedia for accurate stories about your favorite boy band or cutting edge science (though even that is not that bad). Aside from that it is about as good of a source as any.

Still - I never said Wikipedia was unreliable
Putting words in my mouth doesn’t help your argument -

in-fact I didn’t even finish reading your post -
As soon as you put words in my mouth - the rest of your statement is meaningless - because your just responding to the words you put in my mouth...

Then why complain about the fact that anyone can edit it? If you read the last article it points out that articles become more reliable as the number edits go up.

People that edit with bad information are a rarity. Most people edit altruistically.

Dang Man - you cant stop putting words in people’s mouths Can you?

I wasn’t complaining -
All I said was I don’t like Wikipedia- as a source because anyone can edit.


If your trying to change my mind on that - your way off..

if I don’t like Fords - because anyone can work on it - and say it, in a silly post...
Are you going to tell me how year after year - they’re more reliable, and ask why I’m complaining? I still don’t like Fords for the same reason -

That still doesn’t make me believe in aliens..
But thanks

Neither do I believe there are extraterrestrial biological beings themselves visiting Earth, however, I'm convinced there is likely advanced extraterrestrial drone technology launched from a distant extraterrestrial civilization to survey Earth.

A weird object named Oumuamua is of an exosolar origin as evident by its high velocity and trajectory as it sailed through our solar system. Oumuamua apparently isn't a comet, because Oumuamua seemingly lacks a comet tail. Furthermore, Oumuamua has a fixed rotation period that would not occur if it were propelled by the out gassing of any volatile. Oumuamua's elongated shape and high Albedo is unlike that of any known asteroids in our solar system. When Oumuamua passed by the Sun, solar radiation pressure apparently accelerated Oumuamua precisely as how a solar light sail measuring a few millimeters of thickness and few hundred meters length would have been accelerated by the Sun's radiation pressure. Oumuamua is estimated to be within the range of size and it has an elongated shape as would be expected of a light sail spacecraft following Oumuamua's motion and acceleration as it went by the Sun.
