Urantia

[Zendik]

Oscarmitre, the book was written in the late 20s and explains stuff like , classifcations of atoms, subelectronic matter, shattered atoms, the molecular stages of matter, collapsed matter. The book explains Wave-Energy Manifestations and dables into String Therory (sp), something scientists are just trying to understand now....
I could go on and on and on.... But there is NO way these things were know at the time of the writing.....

Well, I don't know about the book, but that web site is really out there. :rolleyes:

Well, I don't know about the book, but that web site is really out there.

Ya know, I checked the site out just now and I can see it looking a little weird, ok a lot weird!! I wouldn't believe it my self if not for a friend who pointed out some parts and explained some things about it. What gets me to believe it are the scientific facts that have been proven since the book was written, this cannot be denied.
Anyway I just wanted to know if anyone was familiar with it, that's all...

So if these things could not be known back then, how would they have known them?

[Zendik]

Ok, I'll try and explain....
Way back in the late 20s a couple of doctors were doing a study into ESP type stuff and this guy started "channelling" information about the histroy of our planet and, well, God. A commission was started and questions of all kinds were presented to this guy, they were answered and since proven correct... Everything from every religion here on this planet to subatomic principals and the eventual creation of the nuclear bomb were explained in detail, not vague dreamlike hard to understand parables either...
Everything in this book makes so much sense....

I'm going to read it with with my usual sceptical mind when it comes to things spiritual. I'm a sceptic, not a cynic - there is a difference.

HG Wells wrote about going to the moon, time travel, atomic energy before it was real. That doesn't make him a prophet.

True, it just shows he had an excellent imagination.

And if you throw enbough theories out there, odds are that one day they might be proved true. If it doesn't come true, it just means "it hasn't happen yet"
Too much like Nostradomas (sp?) fo rme I guess.

But Zen, I agree there are a lot of good qualities and teachings in the book, just like the bible, torah, koran, etc.
