Minaret destroyed at 12th-century Syrian mosque on World Heritage listBy Michael Martinez and Hamdi Alkhshali , CNN (CNN) - Both sides in Syria's civil war were in rare agreement Wednesday: The minaret at a 12th-century mosque in Aleppo has been obliterated. Unclear, however, was who destroyed the tower at the Great Umayyad Mosque, which has witnessed the march of nine centuries. It was just last month that a United Nations official expressed concern about the two-year war possibly damaging the mosque, a World Heritage site. An opposition group blamed the government. "Regime forces have committed today a new crime against human and cultural heritage by targeting the minaret of the mosque and completely destroying it," the Local Coordination Committees said. The group released a photograph of the mosque without its signature minaret, apparently reduced to rubble. The Syrian Coalition also blamed President Bashar al-Assad's regime. FULL STORY |

Ancient Earth Crust Stored in Deep Mantle
Apr. 24, 2013 — Scientists have long believed that lava erupted from certain oceanic volcanoes contains materials from the early Earth's crust. But decisive evidence for this phenomenon has proven elusive. New research from a team including Carnegie's Erik Hauri demonstrates that oceanic volcanic rocks contain samples of recycled crust dating back to the Archean era 2.5 billion years ago. Their work is published in Nature.

Maybe they should not have created the wedge !!!
The wedge strategy is a political and social action plan authored by the Discovery Insti-tute, the hub of the intelligent design movement. The strategy was put forth in a Discovery Insti-tute manifesto known as the Wedge Docu-ment,[1] which describes a broad social, political, and academic agenda whose ultimate goal is to defeat materialism, naturalism, evolution, and "reverse the stifling materialist world view and replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic
convictions.

This is my experience… Thank you.
MY personal testimony.
A thought to consider without an ego response
I Accepted Jesus christ as my lord and saviour. You never know how soon is too late. Transcend the worldly illusion of enslavement.
The world denounces truth….
Accepting Jesus Christ (for me) resulted in something like seeng a new colour. You will see it …..but will not be able to clearly explain it to anyone else….. Its meant to be that way to transend any selfism within you.
Also… much the world arranges “surrounding dark matter into something to be debated” in such a way that protects/inflates the ego.
The key is be present and transcend our own desire to physically see evidence. We don’t know anyways by defending our own perception of dark matter.
Currently…. most of us are constructing our own path that suits our sin lifestyle. Were all sinners. Knowing that we are is often an issue. But both christians and non are sinners. Even once we are saved by christs merciful grace we will still experience adversity to mold us to adhering to the truth.
We will slip… But not fall of the ship …carrying us onward to perfection in christs grace.
We don’t like to Let go and let god. We want control to some degree. This is what Jesus asks us to do. “Follow me”.
It’s the hardest thing to do… but is done by letting the truth of scripture lead you (redemptive revelation)… as I said .
Try reading corinthians and see if it makes sense to you. Try it without a pre conceived notion of it being a fairy tale.
See the truth…
do we do what it says in todays society… is it relevant… so many have not recently read and only hinge their philosophy on what they have heard from some other person…which may have been full of arogance pride or vanity..
Look closely at the economy ponzi, look at how society idolizes Lust , greed , envy, sloth, pride of life, desire for knowledge, desire for power, desire for revencge,gluttony with food etc .
Trancsend the temporal world.
Just think if you can find any truth you can take with you ….in any of these things. When you die your riches go to someone who will spend away your life….. You will be forgotten…. history will repeat iteslf…. the greatest minds knowledge fade or are eventually plagerzed….. your good deeds will be forgotten and only give you a fleeting temporary reward . your learned teachings are forgotten or mutated….. your gold is transfered back to the rullers that rule you through deception. Your grave will grow over . This is truth .
Trancsend your egoism and free yourself from this dominion of satan. Understand you are a sinner and part of the collective problem of this worldly matrix… Repent…. Repent means knowing (to change) The Holy spirit (within) will convict you beyond what you think you can do by yourself. Grace is given to those who renounce the world. That are” in” the world but not “of ” the world.
Evidence follows faith. Faith does not follow evidence….. Faith ….above reason in Jesus Christ.
Faith comes by Reading or Hearing the word of god from the bible . Ask Jesus in faith for dicernment and start reading the new testament… You will be shocked when you lay down your preconceived notions and ….see and hear truth … see how christ sets an example … feel the truth….
Read Ecclesiastes. Read romans or corinthians.
You cant trancend your own egoism by adapting a world philosophy to suit your needs. Seek the truth in Christ.
Sell all your cleverness and purchase true bewilderment. You don’t get what you want ….you get what you are by faith above reason in christ.
I promise this has been the truth for me. In Jesus christ .
Think of what you really have to lose. …your ego?
Break the Matrix of illusion that holds your senses captive.
once you do . you too will have the wisdom of God that comes only through the Holy Spirit. Saved By grace through Faith. Just like seeing a new colour…. can’t explain it to a transient caught in the matrix of worldly deception.
You will also see how the world suppresses this information and distorts it
You’re all smart people . I tell the truth. Its hard to think out of the box when earthly thinking is the box.
I’ts a personal free experience you can do it free anytime . Don’t wait till you are about to die.. START PUTTING YOUR TREASURES WHERE THEY REALLY MATTER >
Its awsome and It’s just between you and Jesus
my testimony
Romans 10:9
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
The, looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.
“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one,” said he, and then with twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.”
And so, thought I, the anvil of God’s Word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed – the hammers gone.

Gravity is not up for debate !

Einstein's Gravity Theory Passes Toughest Test Yet
Apr. 25, 2013 — A strange stellar pair nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth has provided physicists with a unique cosmic laboratory for studying the nature of gravity. The extremely strong gravity of a massive neutron star in orbit with a companion white dwarf star puts competing theories of gravity to a test more stringent than any available before

So it goes...
Why should we care about a mosque anymore than a Super-Nova cares that it has annihilated a world full of civilizations?
It's on the World Heritage list. Are you saying we shouldn't care about anything or making a point more specific than that?
An absurdist never makes a point.
So much of what occurs in this world has no rhyme or reason to it. The minaret, regardless of its status on a list, will cease to be. All our lives, hopes, dreams, will end and none of this will matter to anyone.
Everything is as it should be: one with the universe.
"faith" and "Salero" are the same person, selling the same old god fraud.
Along with 'his panic'
Wow, the "believers" on this blog are some of the nastiest pieces of work I've ever encountered.
But on the topic: I find it sad when historical sites and objects get destroyed. It doesn't matter if they are affiliated with a religion. Losing these little pieces of history simply diminishes us all.
prepare ye the way of the lord, for he will use his winnowing fork and separate you from us and burn u in a monstrous tornadic conflagration

Yeah, faith, your god sounds like quite the murderous ass hole. No thanks, you can keep your sky fairy fictions. To yourself. Silently, please.
Obviously faith got hit by one too many falling rocks.
It's interesting to note that in that song, the person is supposed to run to the deity that is causing all those calamities. Like seeking protection from being murdered from the guy that's murdering you.
What's really hilarious is that faith is so ignorant that he actually thinks that song is an original.
Well as the Ibo proverb goes
"An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned"
Seems the "downpressor men" are offended! lol
YouTube is not your SOURCE of the minaret video. That's like recording a video off the airwaves and saying "Source: TV". The person who filmed and uploaded it is the source, you should link to his channel and properly cite and give credit to the creator of the video.
if its muslim it is better to have it a smoking ruin or a pile of rubble. useless, disgusting trash is all islam can ever be.
What a lovely Christian sentiment. God would be proud of you.
Akira you don't know if that poster is Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic, Hindu or other. You are a bigot and a twit.
From an agnostic.
Common sense you are also a bigot and a twit.
