| Does no one find it strange that so many ancient civilizations used "the flower of life"(the name given to this ancient symbol),considering they were thousands of miles and years apart? |

What does this question even mean? What's a "flower of life?" How old is "ancient?" Does it matter whether it's "COMPLETE" or not?

The complete ancient flower of life is a ringed sample of the continuous pattern of creation. |

You'll need to provide some evidence.
| We do not see with our eyes,we see THROUGH our eyes. |
Another baseless asertion. Obviously we see with our eyes. Yes, our brain processes the raw data, which is why our vision is so easily fooled by optical illusions, and its also the reason we see patterns where none actually exist.
Try this illusion. One of the better examples of our flawed visual perception.
This one is fun also.

Nope. There are only so-many designs one can create with a simple circular geometry. |

I believe it is only the nearly COMPLETE flower of life.
Very very close, but no cigar.

Hmmm. I've read this sentence a few times. And I am pretty sure that "a ringed sample of the continuous pattern of creation" is just as meaningless as "ancient flower of life." Perhaps you could try again with a better definition? |

Yeah, see, you're smiling because while I can tell that those are English words, and that they're put together with an English grammar, you know that I can't derive any meaning from them and that they don't answer my previous questions. |

| Reminds me of an interview Howard Cosell had with Muhammad Ali. Cosell introduced him as "The pugnacious Muhammad Ali." to which Muhammad asked "What does pugnacious mean?". Howard replied: "It means truculent." |

That's Cosell for you. If Cosell had kept that up, he'd have discovered the definition for himself.

Do the rings correspond with years? If so, can they be used to count back to the time of creation? This could be bigger than dendrochronolgy!

Good catch, OFFC! That does indeed have that Yoda-like touch of Rumsfeldian obscurantism.

I know its not a very good explaination but its hard to explain. If anyone can see what i,m trying to say,could they try and explain it better. If you drew a circle on a wallpapered wall,would you call that a ringed sample of the wallpaper? |
