In the Old Testament, it is commonly believed that Eve screwed everything up forever (typical women eh? ) by partaking of a forbidden apple.
In fact, the original translation does not pertain to any such specific fruit. |

Mary Shelly’s classic, ‘Frankenstein’:
It is fairly well known that the aforementioned name pertains to the creator as opposed to his monstrous creation within the seminal work of gothic horror fiction.
However, ‘Frankenstein’ is actually not the original title of the book (and no, it wasn’t called Frankenstein’s Monster’ either!)
In fact, the original title is, ‘The Modern Prometheus.’ |

Absolutely. There are so many striking similarities between stories from the Old and New Testaments and other, far more ancient religious belief systems.
Indeed, the story of Jesus bears far more than an abstract correlation with the ancient Roman (Demi-)God, Mithras. Plagiarism on the part of Christianity perhaps? Or is there a root truth behind all the tales buried somewhere, deep within the annals of history? Possibly, are the stories of an ancestral nature, passed down through time from generation to generation whilst traversing whole continents and cultures? It’s a highly interesting subject |

That the Bible is Monotheistic. Instead it bears a much greater relation to ancient polytheisms than is commonly acknowledged. Throughout, it talks about a range of different gods, from Jehovah to Satan, but also including Amen, Elohim, and others. Christian scholars long argued most of these were the same god. But closer analysis shows they strongly correlate to different Egyptian or Mesopotamian gods. In Amen's case no effort was made to obfuscate in the slightest.
When put in this setting it becomes clear that everything before Abraham in the Bible is just lifted from the ancient polytheisms and portrayed as if the gods were human. So Adam (Atum), Noah (Nut), Cain and Abel and Seth (Osiris, Horus and Set) were all stories of gods retold as if they were humans.
The New Testament is yet another story of a god written as if it was a man who had once lived... Jesus |

But closer analysis shows they strongly correlate to different Egyptian or Mesopotamian gods. In Amen's case no effort was made to obfuscate in the slightest.
When put in this setting it becomes clear that everything before Abraham in the Bible is just lifted from the ancient polytheisms and portrayed as if the gods were human. So Adam (Atum), Noah (Nut), Cain and Abel and Seth (Osiris, Horus and Set) were all stories of gods retold as if they were humans.
The New Testament is yet another story of a god written as if it was a man who had once lived... Jesus "
Oh that's really fascinating. Thank you x |

"That the Bible is Monotheistic. Instead it bears a much greater relation to ancient polytheisms than is commonly acknowledged. Throughout, it talks about a range of different gods, from Jehovah to Satan, but also including Amen, Elohim, and others. Christian scholars long argued most of these were the same god. But closer analysis shows they strongly correlate to different Egyptian or Mesopotamian gods. In Amen's case no effort was made to obfuscate in the slightest.

Which would fall the fastest, a ton of lead or a ton of feathers? We’re supposed to be fooled and say the lead whereupon the smart arse, conceited, grinning arsehole posing the question will invariably correct us and say that both objects, weighing the same, will in actuality fall at the same velocity.
But I do call’eth bullshit! - What WILL in fact happen is that the feathers will disperse in the air and blow all over the bloody place making a right bastard mess for some poor bastard to clean up whilst the lead hitting the ground will create a bloody great pothole necessitating the local highways authority to repair it at the tax payers expense. |

‘Waving a red rag at a bull’ is rather daft as due to the limitations of their visual cortex, they can’t apparently perceive the aforementioned colour.
Waving any coloured rag at a bull IS however, daft as the said object being waved directly in front of their face does have a tendency to piss them off somewhat royally. |

* That science is atheist.
Scientists deliberately adopt the stance of methodical naturalism. This is a professional stance which effectively excludes the whole concept of primary causes (what caused the original domino to fall) from its deliberation in favour of the sole study of secondary causes (the domino which we can positively identify as having fallen on the one we're looking at). As it completely excludes any stance on a primary cause, science is in fact agnostic on the issue of whether there is a god or not. As such, both atheists and theists need to leave their theological/antitheological beliefs behind when they enter the lab.
* That most scientists are atheist.
Repeat studies show atheism is still a minority belief among scientists and has remained at pretty much the same level since the start of the 20th century. All studies of elite scientists show something similar except for one.
* That western education and higher intelligence turns people into atheists.
Stats on the cleverest individuals, including Mensa, show theism still dominates. Put simply, there just aren't enough atheists in the population to sustain the claim that education or intelligence leads to atheism. The vast majority of educated people still affiliate with a Faith. |

I heard that "carrots help you see in the dark" was a story put out in WW2 to explain why Britain could "see" the enemy at night and hide their secret Radar. |

Personal favourite; if you operate at a 500cal deficit per day, 1 pound of fat will be gone per week as this is equal to 3,500 calories... |

Masturbation cannot cause blindness.
Well, in fact it can.....sort of:
Scientists have identified a condition called Amaurosis Fugax which does indeed cause blindness (albeit temporarily) and is often associated with extremely puissant orgasms.
Doctors are not sure exactly why it happens but believe that the orgasm can shrink the blood vessels in the eye (it usually only occurs in one at a time luckily).

Haggis is mentioned in an English recipe book 132 years before any mention of it in a Scottish recipe book. (So does that make Haggis English? I don't think it does as it wasn't adopted by them.) |
