Well, it must be true, right?
"Reader David Lichtman refers us to the location http://www.makers-diet.net which is run by a Dr. Jordan Rubin, the creator of "The Maker's Diet." This is a diet consisting only of foods available at the time of the Bible, to be augmented by a supplement—that, of course, only he has discovered, and only he sells—called HSOs™—"Homeostatic Soil Organisms." By eating this combination, we'll be in tune with God's will, he says. How can we doubt him? He holds a Ph.D. from the "Academy of Natural Therapies"! That's closely affiliated with "Healing Light Ministries," but a diligent Internet search indicates no Ph.D. programs there. Something is not right, methinks.
"This nutty... diet is based on foods eaten at a period of history when the average lifespan was no more than 60% of what it is today, Mr. Lichtman reminds us. As part of his treatment, "Dr." Rubin also strongly urges all dieters not to do any aerobic exercise, as it harms the body's immune response. Gee, that's news to most of us. But, he's hitting some weak spots in the public's reasoning processes, because his book is a #1 best-seller at Barnes & Noble.
"And as David points out, at
http://www.bottledwater.org/public/hydratio_main.htm you'll find a "hydration calculator" that tells you how much water a person should consume daily for optimum health. "I weigh 235 pounds and exercise 20 minutes per day," he writes, "therefore, I should be drinking 17 glasses of water per day—more than one per waking hour."
"He also points out that the "hydration" site is sponsored by the International Bottled Water Association. Sheer coincidence…!" |

It must be true! It's on the internet!

I do believe that site was in the valley of the satirical.
However, speaking of flat earths, didn't the early Christians believe the earth was thus?
Did God forget to tell them?
Or was the earth really flat, and resting on pillars?

You mean the earth isn't flat? Wow! I guess you learn something new everyday. |

Fortunately, since biblical days, the earth has plumped up considerably, perhaps through the auspices of the holy spirit (pneuma; the breath of God.) I don't believe even a three mile high column of water (the depth of mount Ararat, 16,940 ft.) vis-a-vis the "flood" could have "flattened" the earth (never mind the almost 6 mile, 29035 ft height of Everest. Gen 7:20, "and the mountains were covered.") And if the earth was flat, what held all the water in?
1 Samuel "The pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. 2:8
Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Job 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
Daniel 2:35 the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (only possible if the earth were flat. )
Matthew 4:8 the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, (only possible if the earth were flat.)
Luke 4:5 the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, (only possible if the earth were flat. )
Rev 7:1 I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, (not only is the earth flat, John has supervision)
Believe it or not, there are still flat earthers out there........

Job 26:7-10 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Isaiah 40:21-22Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Proverbs 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Flat earth was not started by the Christians. History needs to be studied by a few people.
