That is a very good question!

Thinking about this brings a lot more questions to the table. At what age should God not allow cancer to exist? 6, 12, 20? Should God stop sex abusers from exerting free will if it harms innocent children? At what age is one no longer an innocent child? Would we be better off with an authoritarian god or a libertarian god?

Perhaps he thought he would wake up when they started cutting his hair? Why didn't he wake up anyway? Maybe, he thought God wouldn't allow the Philistines to get away with that (ie. back to the should God allow freewill discussion). Should God play favourites? Sampson seemed to think so. God didn't.

All very good questions.

yeah well, the way his mind works...wow, Its just not fair.

I was contemplating why our minds don't work like others. Why am I not talented in art? My mind doesn't work that way.

What is the nature of how a mind works, but what could be fair about it? If it is true that there are several indentifiable levels of intelligence then what is fair about how someone else's mind works?

Can you explain this? How could this be done without advanced precision tools? The stones fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or steel can slide between them. There is no mortar.

How about the Ica Stones?

Or old upright stones in Peru so large modern machinery cannot lift?

The blocks of stone are actually rough-hewn, except for the facing 2" that is visible. Thus the blade-of-grass-tight joints. Shaping up the edges to fit precisely is actually a fairly simple task for a mason, even when only using striking-rocks as tools.

Ah well, thankfully you're back B_A, for a while there I thought we'd have to ask God ALL of these questions. Could you start working on Hellomynameis's please, all those billions of galaxies aren't going to explain themselves.

Glacier!!!!! Now I have to travel to Peru and its YOUR FAULT!

ICA STONES???? What the.....know how long I spent going over that freaking site? HOURS!

Now I have to see the blasted things. Ok, ok, I've always wanted to travel to Peru, but this is ridiculous. Absolutely NUTS, men riding Pteradactlys? And using telescopes? And performing delicate operations? Hunting Dinosaurs?

Is there a book with comprehensive colour photographs of the stones? I mean, I'll be looking now for it, will prolly be the one and only thing I ever have to buy over the internet and I do mean that.

Have you ever heard of Markawasi (sometimes spelled Marcahuasi)? It is one of the most fascinating places on earth.

Here is a quick youtube clip about it... Markawasi: Peru's Inexplicable Stone Forest

It is estimated that these massive carvings are over 12,000 years old.

"Daniel Ruzo, a 90-year-old archa eologist who lives near Mexico City, aided us. The figures we saw and filmed in 1989 were both strange and fascinating. We were first greeted by a 60-foot rock called by Ruzo The Monument to Humanity because several different races are recognizable on it. They overlap each other in a unique way, but one can clearly discern a Caucasian youth, a Semitic man, a skull-like face that could be Negroid, and several others.

"There are many other faces on the plateau, as well as animals. Some of the animals depicted never existed on the continent, such as the rhino, lion, camel, and a turtle-like creature."

(Cote, Bill; "Marcahuasi--A Mystery in Stone," Louisiana Mounds Society News letter, no. 42, p. 1, October 1, 1991.)

How about theAntikythera Mechanism? This 2000+ year old mechanical calculator uses technology we previously thought didn't exist until the 18th century.

Thanks Glacier! See what I mean, there are so many unanswered and unanswerable questions that sometimes I wish I never heard of all these things. Sometimes I think a person with a simplier life, with simplier inquiries may be luckier than me. Not that I don't live simply, but I have these questions that have no real answers.

Anyone else?

Lots of questions with no answers, but the great thing is that I know I don't need to know everything. Mystery is good. Discovery can be awe-inspiring. May it always be that way.

Ha Ha! And look at me, I WANT to the answer to everything! Including if the Criminal Gang called the Gordon Campbell Government is a secret envoy from some sinister plot.

Ok, another important question to remember to ask may be the Yeti. Is there really a Mountain Snowman up in the Himilayas? What about Snow Women? Is it possible?

And what about those ruins on a South Pacific Island? Said to be haunted.

And what about Nessie in Lock Ness? Any truth to Scottish lore of a lake monster there?

Funny that you should bring up the Yeti. I was talking to a guy on Sunday from Chilliwack who says he friend he saw a 9 foot tall sasquatch north of Harrison Lake. A good friend of mine swears he saw a sasqatch stare at him from less than 10 feet away. I don't know what to think, as I wasn't there.

Queen K · Post by **Queen K** » Sep 15th, 2009, 8:46 pm

Harrison Lake is supposed to be a hotbed of Sasquatch activity no?

Or should we just let mystery be mystery? Do we need these answers.....

Naw...I want to know what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste.
