   You can post what you like. This is an unmoderated group.   
   We don't have to like it, and we can and will ignore you if you don't   
   have anything useful to say.

   And what's your evidence that this discontinuity exists (or ever   
   existed). The Old Testament is just a repeatedly copied ancient text.   
   The copying process isn't error free.

   It's you that needs the schooling. Optical telescopes can't see magnetic   
   storms. They can see the optical signal from writhing loops of hot   
   plasma which are informative about the magnetic fields that are driving   
   the writhing

   Nobody can ever prove anything to an ignorant skeptic.

   Schooling an ignorant skeptic is a waste of effort. They don't want to   
   learn.
