Post by Eugene GriesselWhy do they call it New Age? It should be New Dark
Age - because that's seems to be what is happening
when one abandons the provable for conjecture and
superstition. Recently attended a lecture by Zahi
Hawass and sure enough one of the questions from
the audience was whether the pyramids were a giant
power generator of some sort. He made short shrift
of the questioner.....
Well, Hawass has himself come out with a few whoppers
in his time...
I have no issue with people choosing to believe anything
they want. But, I have a real problem when they want
their beliefs treated as -- and included in -- genuine history,
biology and archaeology.
Religions are refered to as "A faith" for a reason!
And, believe me, there are things a heck of a lot worse
than a New Ager asking a question at a lecture on
Egyptology. Like what? Like people insisting on including
their beliefs when teaching Egyptology!
And I can't tell you how sick I am of being accused of
an "anti-Christian" bias every time I scoff at somebody's
pet theory on Moses and the Exodus.
Whether it's crystals or a cross, give it a rest!
