I just read something interesting in my little brother's PC magazine. Itīs illegal to mod your PC too much due to the radiation it emits.

Good thing I didnīt mod my PC then.

actually.... Christianity is very accepting and well treating of women... it was when the catholics took over Christianity that women were put down into a lesser role

Peter is seen as the first pope by the catholic church....

Protestants and other reformers don't see it the same way as the catholics do.

Upbupbupbupbup, don't you quote me regulations. I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the colour of the book that regulation's in. We kept it grey. Seriously, though, if anyone paid any heed to this Ockham and his sharp little blade, most of what we accept as normal scientific fact today would be unrealized. I mean, what sounds simpler, that some astrological forces and some invisible magic called "gravity" spin our spherical-shaped world around massive distances in a circumference around the sun, or that the sun simply appears in the daytime, and dissapears in the nighttime above our flat world? Exactly. Now, somebody requisition me a beat.

Ummm...Occem's Razor, when used by Copernicus, Kepler and others gave us the current solar-system model. The simpler of the two theories (one being that everything is arranged by an unseen force into perfect Ptolemic circles and spheres or that an unseen force has allowed for chaotic, but controlled system of gravitational movement) was the latter, in this case

after Jesus and the apostles all died.... the christian church began to mingle with pagan religions.... the result was the catholic church


after the apostles died there were hundreds of manuscripts of writings by different apostles and other people that all claimed to be valid scripture. There were also a lot of different doctrines that came up in the first 200-300 years.

Eventually the council of nicea decided what Christians were to believe. 300 years after Jesus was alive doctrine was redecided upon and the writings that are now in the bible were also decided upon at that time.

and you guys honestly believe that there was no change in doctrine between Jesus' time and the time when Constantine legitimized Christianity?

And you've just illustrated my point perfectly; that Occem's Razor is non-applicable in any case (and therefore useless to cite) because complexity is relative -- any two theories could be presented such that A is simple and B is complex, or such that A is complex and B is simple, depending on the presenter and audience. But let's not detract the topic further off...topic. I'll be happy to debate the credibility of eponymous adages in General Chat if you wish.
