Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

These were Polish Masons?

Correct me if I'm wrong, or have misread the statment, but the Order of Freemasons did not exist in ancient Egypt. They did not build the obelisks. Egyptians built them. Their superb engineering is still admired today.

William Clinton is not a Mason nor is Hillary a member of Eastern Star, the woman's affilate of the Freemasons.

The 'global village' statements are a political metaphore for our shrinking world. Modern communication and transportation make us all next-door neighbors.

Damn verlch, get back on your meds!

The History Channel:
8-9pm: Modern Marvels
Washington Monument.
The U.S. capital boasts many memorials, but none with a more bizarre history than the obelisk erected to America's first president. Over 55 stories high and weighing over 90,000 tons, the Washington Monument stands stalwart in the city's center. From concept to completion, it took 100 years--years filled with mystery, ceremony, conflict, government action, and inaction. Proposed in the late 1700s by a group of prominent citizens and finished in the late 1800s by the Army Corps of Engineers, the exterior is mainly Maryland white marble, while the interior is made of granite, iron...and a few surprises. How did it come together and why did it take so long? Historians tell stories of stalling bureaucracy, secret societies, and triumphant engineering. Stark and daunting on the outside, we let viewers know what's inside.
Yeah, please let us know how they tie it all together with the Egyptians, verlch. Other than the similarity of shape, which is meaningless.

I thought you knew everything Dave! Yes the Masons say it was an ancient secret order that worked on King Solomons temple! Not only that but a masons destrest comment to yell is 'Tubal Cain'. You rememeber Tubal Cain in the bible.

Sorry, verlch, but it is your contention that the Freemasons are a Satanic group, which means anything they say may be a lie. So unless you've got evidence outside of what they say, you're batting zero-for-whatever.

Thus far, I've yet to see you quote anything but the most paranoid bullshit available. However, it pleases me to see you nesting comfortably amongst those familiar to you -- birds of a feather, neh?

So, have you opened this link yet?

http://www.masonicinfo.com/famous1.htm

Of course not and you won't. It might upset the dark and befuddled, little world you live in. It might put fact and perspective into your mind and we can't have that, now can we?

Do you believe in witchcraft and wizardy, O verlch? Are there ogers and fairies and balrogs and orcs and elves and all that jazz roaming your version of the world? Do you cast the sign against the Evil Eye each day before you leave your house? Are you careful not to step on the cracks in the sidewalk?

But verlch, we've had this discussion already. It's impossible to say that Tubal Cain (a better transliteration of the Hebrew is Qayin, BTW) founded Masonry because he lived before the flood. Presumably, his evil owl-worshipping, phallus-obsessed cult died along with everyone else. Unless, of course, you want to posit that Noah or one of his family was a Mason. And if that's the case, then your god has to be the biggest idiot ever since he was stupid enough to think that Noah and his family were actually righteous and worthy of saving...

I like owls. On several occasions, I've set up nesting boxes for them and watched pairs of barnys raise their families. I plan To do it again when I move away from here.

Once I rehabilitated a tiny screech owl that had been hit by a car. There is no bird more appealing.

A few years ago I had my first 'encounter' with an owl (dismissing those I've seen in the zoo). I was walking across a field at night when one flew over me. The great thing was it's flight was almost completely silent. If I would have had my eyes closed or if the night would have been clouded I might not have noticed it passing. It's one of those moments when I was struck with a deep feeling of awe and admiration for nature's achievements.

Heck, watching an owl fly right over you beats sacrificing first borns and hearing there screams of pain any day. Although this might be because I sacrifice first borns at least once every two weeks (and a virgin every week of course) while having an owl fly over you is such a very rare event.

I tried to sneak up on an owl a few years ago.

My parents own a summer cottage outside of Stockholm and this summer night i noticed how an owl (probably a Tawny Owl ,Strix aculo,) landed on the roof with its tail feathers sticking out over the porch.

I tried to get outdoors without making a sound but of course the owl heard the faint noise from the door and the feathers disappeared.
I continued to sneak toward the part of the roof however and all of a sudden the owl peeked down from the roof and saw my face less than a meter away.

The owl did not share my enthusiasm of the encounter.

Isn't it a beautiful thing?

The only unpleasant experience I've ever had with an owl was when I was called to remove a great horned owl that had recently killed a skunk from someone's gerage -- I have no idea how it came to be in there. The stench was horrific! Also, as this is a very powerful bird, my hands got gouged up even through the welder's gloves I was wearing. There was no way this foul beast was going into my truck, not even in the bed!

I carried it outside and tried to toss it up, but it hung on and took the opportunity to give me a healthy bite above the cuff of my right glove. I finally shook it loose and it fell to the ground, still full of fight. I backed off and at last it shook out it's feathers and took wing.

I took a record number of showers, but still smelled a bit skunky for several days. I threw the gloves out.

But that bad apple has come nowhere near to spoiling the owl barrel for me.

As a side note, people who raise poultry usually hate horned owls. They will attack and kill a duck or chicken and eat nothing but the head.
