James can't stand the idea that someone won't take him seriously. He is so full of his own self-importance that he has to insult those who pay him the respect he deserves. From experience I know it is impossible to have a discussion with him. He is a True Believer and like any True Believer the facts have to fit his beliefs.


I probably should have ignored his lies about people being unable to prove him wrong (which is typical of his logic, if people don't respond he must be right), but I couldn't resist the quote I posted.

Saying that specific people are unable to prove you wrong because they haven't responded to is, in my book, a lie because it is an attempt to deceive. It is impossible for you to know that they can't prove you wrong, all you can know if that you haven't seen them do it.

If you think what I wrote above is a lie, fine, it just tells us more about why you should be ignored. I note that you didn't quarrel with my logic.

What supposed logic of yours did I not quarrel with?

Genesis Veracity wrote:As Paul H lingers in the shadows.
At this time, I am preparing to present a poster on some research of mine tomorrow at a GCAGS meeting; gathering cost estimates for OSL dates, Geoprobe rigs, and XRD analyzes as part of a research proposal to get money to study an impact crater; editing my linework for a 1:100,000 scale geologic map for eventual publication: and working on a paper on my analyzes of five South African "mystery spheres", which I have in my collection among many, many other things . Thus, I have better things to do with my life than get in a pointless discussion about in a web page composed of scientifically illiterate gibberish and technobabble, which nobody of either any significance or in any number (unlike the Bosnian pseudopyramids) either cares about or takes seriously. Given all of the other stuff, including real science, which I can be working on, I do not find any reason, or any fun, in wasting my time on incredibly boring and unoriginal verbiage. The fact of the matter, that there is so much unoriginal and boring junk to be found on Internet web pages that nobody has the time to discuss it all. A person has to pick and choose the material, which at least shows either enough originally, controversy, or thought to make a discussion from which an interesting discussion that other people might learn something, can be made.

For the next couple of days, I will be at the meeting, which is 60 miles from where I work and live, during the day and making up for the time, which I am at the meeting, at night. After the meetings, I plan to finish my linework for a 1:100,000 geologic map and pass it on to the cartographers to start making into a real map and talk about hunting for fossil horses in Texas with a graduate student and catch up in the evening with episodes of "Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex", and the season finale of "Stargate SG1" which I have taped and watch television and play poker with my wife , Irna. As a result, participating in a pointless and off-topic discussion, which neither I nor anybody else would care about, about the Great Pyramid and cubits is very, very, very, very low on my list of things to do this or any other week.

Best Regards,

Paul H.

schoch definantly was not kind to Os. i wonder if this will finalkly put an end to the massacreof the hill and allow real archaeologists preserve what is left?
I hope so - there are some legitimate sites there
I seriously doubt that Dr. Schoch's report will put an end to the "Bosnian Pyramid Phenomenon" as it is being back by politicians for their own nationalistic political agenda. Besides, to quote a Bosnian sociologist in the Science paper, “Osmanagic’s pyramid fantasies are exactly what the majority of Bosnians want to hear." Given that politicians feel it serves their interest to support what appears to be in part state-sponsored pseudoscience and people want to believe in it, nothing, which Dr. Schoch says is going to kill it.

Once again, Paul H. writes forty lines saying how busy and wonderful he is, and dodges the questions again, typical of this primo fundie darwinite, who addresses only what he can answer with his darwinian/uniformitarian bilge, and who is like a fish flopping around on the shore, when faced with the precession mapping finding, which explains why are the dimensions of the Great Pyramid, and why is the length of the royal cubit.

I think Paul H. is morphing into an ostrich, not a flopping fish.

I know, how disgusting that a professional geologist dares to spend his time doing geological research instead of engaging in chit chat on the internet. You should be ashamed of yourself Paul :lol: :wink:

Paul H. spends alot, I mean alot, of time being the Barney Fife of uniformitarian/darwinism on the internet, he's a sight to behold, zipping here and there with his "definitive judgment" about this and that, but he runs for the hills when there are issues which he can't answer to his satisfaction, so much for his intellectual honesty.

I notice, Essan, that you posted fully well expecting that the every busy with "important stuff" Paul would read it, so is he lurking out there in cyberspace? Earth to Paul, earth to Paul.

Notice that the ever busy with "important stuff" Paul somehow knew that I had wondered if he was lurking to avoid responding, and then he posted his verbose self puff piece of avoidance, so does he spend alot of time lurking? I bet he does, instead of doing all the "important work."

No GV I'm obviously too stupid to be able to read the name "Paul" in both posts.... :roll:

Not a nice way for sombody who claims to be "gloriously reborn 28 years ago" to talk to his fellow humans.

Back to ignoring you now - it's the best way......

I turned the other cheek for awhile, but if people don't want to fight fair, then so be it.
