Gelukkige verjaardag! (bijna)

Niet vergeten: nu zaterdag is de zesduizend ste en zevende verjaardag van de aarde!

update: op zoek naar meer informatie, dit pareltje gevonden:

Many apologists have claimed that the Exodus happened during the reign of Pharoah Rameses II.

Since he lived from 1279-1213EBC, this would place the flood at 2261-2195BCE during the reign of Pharoah Pepi II.

Unfortunately, the Egyptians forgot to mention it.

It would also place the creation of Adam between 3917 and 3851 BCE.

Conversely, If we take Ussher’s 4004BCE date for Adam’s creation, we get a date for the flood of 2348BCE, during the reign of Pharoah Teti (who also mysteriously forgot to mention every single person dying and Egypt being recolonised in later years by Noah’s descendents) – and a date for the Exodus of 1366BCE, during the reign of Amenhotep III.

Surprisingly enough, Amenhotep III or his scribes never mention the Exodus, either.

R, gelijk ze zeggen, OFL.

update 2: zeg nu nog eens dat de paus geen gevoel voor humor heeft. Op precies 23 oktober 1996 heeft hij een bericht de wereld ingestuurd dat onder meer zei

Aujourd’hui, près d’un demisiècle après la parution de l’encyclique [Humani Generis], de nouvelles connaisances conduisent a reconnaître dans la théorie de l’évolution plus qu’une hypothèse.

Trouwens, engelssprekende creationisten geven daar op het internet deze vertaling voor:

In English:

‘Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of more than one hypothesis in the theory of evolution.’

The trouble is, the French word ‘une’ can mean ‘a’ or ‘one’. The secular media translated it ‘a’ hypothesis, while the official RC newspaper L’Osservatore Romano translated it as ‘one’.

Zou “more than one hypothesis” in het frans niet “plus d’une hypothèse” zijn?
