Just so we're straight on definitions, "the occult" refers to any activity in which there is interaction with demonic spirits.
Utter crap. It does not mean this at all. From www.dictionary.com:
Of relating to, or dealing with supernatural influences, agencies, or phenomena.
Beyond the realm of human comprehension
Secondly, you can't even get your history right. Satan was a Christian Invention. A merger of the attributes of Set, Pan, Dionysus and so on. According to Robbins' authoritative Encylocpedia of Witchcraft and Demonology, the form of Satan that you believe in was not finalised to the 4th Century AD. It was an invention!
Thirdly, I would urge you to seek counselling, to rid your mind of the dangerous disease known as Fundamentalism. Your theology isn't even Christian.
Neutrinos are detected all the time in various huge baths of water and cleraning fluid located in various places around the world (deep underground). Apart from the Sun, we've also detected Neutrinos from Supernova 1987A.

Folks, a warning may be in order here. This post contains the usual creationist lies. For your protection I recommend visiting http://www.talkorigins.org after reading this post.
I'll attempt to deal briefly with some of the more horrendous errors.
>There are 24 differences between Biblical and >secular accounts of creation:
There's a lot of differences between the Enuma Elish and "secular creation" as well. The Enuma Elish is a lot older than Genesis as well.
> 1. Bible: God is the Creator of all >things (Genesis 1).
> Evolution: Natural chance processes >can account for the existence of all things.
Why can't God work through evolution?
Additionally, chance is only one of the mechanisms at work through evolution.
Two sentences into your post and you've already shown you know the square root of f**k all about evolution.
> 2. Bible: World created in six days (Genesis 1)
> Evolution: World evolved over the aeons.
Nothing to do with Evolution. Try Geology.
Evolution: a change in the allele frequency of a population over time.
That's all it is. It has nothing to do with geology, astronomy, cosmology, you-name-it-ology.
> 3. Bible: Creation is completed (Genesis 2:3)
> Evolution: Creative processes continuing.
> 4. Bible: Oceans before land (Genesis 1:2)
> Evolution: Land before oceans.
Nowt to do with Evolution. Try geology.
> 5. Bible: Atmosphere between two hydrospheres (Genesis 1:7)
> Evolution: Contiguous atmosphere and hydrosphere.
Nothing to do with evolution. Try geology and meteorology instead.
> 6. Bible: First life on land (Genesis 1:11)
> Evolution: Life began in the oceans.
> 7. Bible: First life was land plants (Genesis 1:11)
> Evolution: Marine organisms evolved first.
> 8. Bible: Earth before sun and stars (Genesis 1:14-19)
> Evolution: Sun and stars before earth.
Nowt to do with Evolution. Try Astronomy instead.
> 9. Bible: Fruit trees before fishes (Genesis 1:11,20,21)
> Evolution: All fishes before fruit trees.
> 10. Bible: All stars made on the fourth day (Genesis 1:16)
> Evolution: Stars evolved at various times.
Nowt to do with evolution. Try Astronomy and Cosmology.
> 11. Bible: Birds and fishes created on the fifth day (Genesis 1:20,21)
> Evolution: Fishes evolved over hundreds of millions of years before birds appeared.
> 12. Bible: Birds before insects (Genesis 1:20-31; Leviticus 11)
> Evolution: Insects before birds.
> 13. Bible: Whales before reptiles (Genesis 1:20-31)
> Evolution: Reptiles before whales.
> 14. Bible: Birds before reptiles (Genesis 1:20-31)
> Evolution: Reptiles before birds.
> 15. Bible: Man before rain (Genesis 2:5)
> Evolution: Rain before man.
> 16. Bible: Man before woman (Genesis 2:21-22)
> Evolution: Woman before man (by genetics).
> 17. Bible: Light before the sun (Genesis 1:3-19)
> Evolution: Sun before any light (on earth).
Nowt to do with evolution. Try astronomy.
> 18. Bible: Plants before the sun (Genesis 1:11-19)
> Evolution: Sun before any plants.
> 19. Bible: Abundance and variety of marine life appeared all at once (Genesis 1:20-21)
> Evolution: Marine life gradually developed from a primitive organic blob.
> 20. Bible: Man's body created from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7)
> Evolution: Man evolved from monkeys.
Lie. Man and monkeys both evoloved from a common ancestor.
> 21. Bible: Man exercised dominion over all organisms (Genesis 1:28)
> Evolution: Most organisms extinct before man evolved.
> 22. Bible: Man originally a vegetarian (Genesis 1:29)
> Evolution: Man originally a meat-eater.
This is funny. Where does it say man was originally a vegetarian?
> 23. Bible: Fixed and distinct kinds (Genesis 1:11,12,21,24,25; 1 Corinthians 15:38-39)
> Evolution: Life forms in a continual state of flux.
Can you define these "kinds?" If so, it'll be a first.
> 24. Bible: Man's sin is the cause of death (Romans 5:12)
> Evolution: Struggle and death existent log before the evolution of man.
> Christians who say that Special Creation is compatible with Evolution are betraying the Bible. They are
teaching false doctrine. Double-speak and compromise have crept into some churches. They say:
"Evolution is true. Of course, the Bible is still true. The Quo'ran and the Book of Mormon are good, as well."
Belief in everything is belief in nothing. This is New Age post-modernism, where you can invent your
own reality and religion to go along with it. It's like fast-food philosophy. "Would you like a religion to go
with that viewpoint?" "Yeah, I'll take a super-size ______ with a Jesus on the side."
Funny how the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutherians, the Church of England, for example, accept evolution eh?
> I don't see why a Christian would be tempted to believe in such an obvious falsehood as Evolution. (Hmmm
On second thought, I do know why: ignorance.) There is abundant counter-evidence in nearly every field
of science - geology, astronomy, physics, mathematics, biology, etc. The most fundamental laws of nature
defy Evolutionist theories.
It does nothing of the sort. You sir, are a typical creationist liar. Creationists keep making this statement BUT HAVE SINGULARILY FAILED *EVER* TO COME UP WITH *ONE* EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPPOSED EVIDENCE AGAINST EVOLUTION.
You're not going to be any different.
Please review www.talkorigins.org.
>In fact, science confirms the words of the Bible on every count.
Liar. Tell me, are bats birds, as the Bible says?
>I'll put some
details on my website when I have time.
I'm sure you will. But it will be same tired old creationist lies which has been rebutted time and time again.
Doesn't one of the commandments not tell you not to bear false witness?
I suggest you should stock up on asbestos underpants, as your entire post breaks this commandment. Hope you enjoy hell, like the rest of your creationist buddies.
> (I know this sounds like a cop-out, but it's almost 2AM. Sorry.
> Maybe there's something here.)
> Why are we Bible-belt southern states people "extremist"?
Because you sir, are a liar and a deciever. You're no Christian. Your god is the Bible.

I presume you actually mean tachyons, and I also presume you've been watching Prince of Darkness.
Oh, and tachyons can't actually exist. So there.
Best Regards,
Dave
Except that it's all, well, crap. Once again, creationists have never come up any the slightest bit of evidence to support their nonsense hypotheses. All they can say is "Goddidit".
Complete and utter nonsense. All these tired old creationist arguments have been disproved time and time again. See http://www.talkorigins.org.
Best Regards,
Dave
Complete and utter nonsense. There is no evidence at all that the Universe is 10,000 years old. In fact, all the evidence tells us that it is billions of years old. Just because this particular creationist doesn't like facts doesn't mean that he is allowed to tell lies, for that is what he is doing.
Best Regards,
Dave.
Slashdot Mirror
Hey, nice ref! Glad to see someone else uses LANL/ADS...
Except that the platlets weren't found fresh.
Read some actual science books for a change, instead of cretinist lies...
There is information on the creationist side. They have no evidence. All they can say is Goddidit!
Creationists are modern-day equivalent of flat-earthers...
What you propose already exists.
As well as xxx.lanl.gov, theres the NASA Astrophysics Data System at: http://adswww.harvard.edu/
Indeed. ADS normally holds downloadable versions for papers more than about two years old. Papers newer than that are usually on xxx.lanl.gov
Excellent Posting. Moderators - mod this up please!
Of course, our fundy friend probably doesn't consider anyone who's not in his own little cult a Christian...

I presume you actually mean tachyons, and I also presume you've been watching Prince of Darkness. Oh, and tachyons can't actually exist. So there. Best Regards, Dave
Which god? Your god? Allah? Buddah? Why not pink unicorns? or advanced aliens? or my pet cat?
