There is a bad translation from Hebrew to English in the Bible in the Book of Numbers on verse 12:1. In Hebrew, it is written that "Moses married a Kushite woman." In English, it says "Moses married an Ethiopian woman."
If you can read Hebrew, you can see this in the image below.
Many people don't know about this bad translation because in order to realize it you have to both read the bible in Hebrew and know about the Kingdom of Kush. The term "Kushite" means "Negro" in the Hebrew to English dictionary. This is most likely because the people who came up with the modern Hebrew language forgot about the ancient Kingdom of Kush, which was located south of Egypt and West of Ethiopia.
This translation of the bible from the original Hebrew to English is geographically inaccurate. Moses married a woman from the Kingdom of Kush. The term "Kushite" applies to people from the Kingdom of Kush that existed in ancient times.
For 14 centuries, the Muslims and the Jews didn't have one battle. Islam's holy book the Koran says only good things about the Jews and their holy book the Torah. For examples, the Koran says "Israel to inherit the Scripture [i.e. the Taurat (Torah)]," in verse (40:53) and "which is a better guide than these two [the Taurat (Torah) and the Quran], that I may follow it, if you are." in verse (28:49). The Koran also says "And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering." in verse (17:104).
In the old days in Yemen, there was a Yemeni King who said the law of the land is "If a Muslim hurts a Jew, it is the same thing as a Muslim hurts a Muslim." The Jews in Yemen loved that king. Also back in the days in Yemen, the Jews used the Muslims to force all the Jews to keep Shabbat. If a Jew didn't keep Shabbat, they would call the Muslims to come and yell at them.
I have a photo album of pictures of me, an Israeli-born person, with many Palestinians, Muslims, and Arabs. I am known for my world peace efforts and one time an older woman from Afghanistan that I met in college told me that she thinks I make the world a better place. I also got to chat with a Palestinian girl once and she liked me, but she said we couldn't date because her family wouldn't allow it.
Below is a photo of me, an Israeli rapper, and a Palestinian beatboxer before we performed in front of Trigonometry class at College of the Canyons in 2012.
Below is the video footage of our presentation in front of class:
There are only two conclusions to the confirmation of these UFOs: Aliens exist and they are here, or our government secretly possesses this technology themselves. Just because these UFOs appear to have been made "outside of this world" doesn't necessarily mean that they were. We have evidence that the correct theory to our origins is intelligent design. We know that if we study the knowledge they don't teach us in the evolutionary biology classes in the higher education system, which I present in an entire article on this website.
Based on this evidence, we can infer that the agency of a miracle came into play at some point in history, so we know that there is something greater than us out there that created life. There is also the possibility that these UFOs could be our intelligent designer. These UFOs may have come from Earth, as I put the existence of other planets into question in my article titled "The First Observation of Mars was Made Using a Stone Tablet".
We can also conclude based on this footage of the UFOs that the laws of physics as we know them can be defied, which is a breakthrough of it's own for the currently accepted scientific beliefs and reasoning.
We can get others to reach the same conclusion as us by asking them the logical questions that lead to the conclusion for them to realize the conclusion for themselves instead of simply stating the conclusion in a sentence. This is a helpful method for avoiding conflicts of possible misunderstandings in an argument. Asking questions is a great method of explanation and was described by the Greek philosopher Socrates as useful for exploring complex ideas, getting the truth of things, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, and more. This is a useful technique to implement in education for a teacher as it causes the students to do the thinking for themselves.
As a simple example of utilizing this argumentative strategy to prove a point, suppose you want to educate the other person or people about the claim in the theory of evolution of the migration of monkeys from Africa to the Americas and you want to argue that the correct theory that should be accepted by science is the theory of intelligent design. You can ask the following questions to prove the point you are arguing: Do monkeys float across the ocean? If the common ancestor of the monkeys didn't float across the ocean, then how is it possible that we have the same type of species in the Americas as in Africa and Asia? Is there any logical explanation to this? Or is the only other possibility the agency of a miracle? Would this mean that the correct theory that should be accepted by science is the theory of intelligent design?
The placebo effect is evidence of the innate healing abilities of the mind. In the experiments of medical psychiatry and western psychology, they give a placebo, or a fake drug with no effect, to the participants. In every experiment, a percentage of the participants that take the placebo experience healing of the mental disorder. The placebo effect actually proves that healing can take place if a person just believes that they are taking a substance that will treat their mental disorder. This proves that if a mental disorder is indeed a biological illness, then we have the innate ability to heal our brains biologically. I believe that medical doctors should do more research on the placebo effect and the natural healing powers of the human brain. The business model for medical psychiatry tries to sell medications for profit, which is why I believe there is little to no funding for more research on the placebo effect.
The placebo effect - the same thing that the medicinal drug does can be done by a candy.
The natural ability to heal ourselves:
Distressful thoughts and feelings can be remedied by shifting our attention towards other things that may bring us joyfulness such as feeling rewarded for achieving a goal, or by the removal of the root causes to our mental suffering.
There are other possiblemethods of achieving mental healing
that require more consistent mental efforts and practice such as the
practice of making beneficial changes to our personal behavior by first
making a conscious decision to start paying attention and begin to observe our
own thoughts, intentions, speech, and actions, in that specific order.
With the awareness gained through our observations of ourselves, we
become more mindful and can consciously adjust our
thoughts, intentions, speech, and actions to our liking.
Doctors should do more research on the placebo effect.
We have all heard the saying "history is written by the winners" and it is always good to keep that knowledge in our perception of our historical teachings; however, there are times when we are being manipulated into believing an inaccurate historical fact. For example, if we read our public education history textbooks or do a google search on the death of Hitler, we will find that it is documented as suicide.
Aside from Hitler not seeming like the kind of person that would have committed suicide, there is evidence of his fellow S.S. officers escaping to Argentina where some were captured by Israeli intelligence and taken back to Israel for a trial. Also, in the year 2014, the FBI released on their government website a document from September 21st, 1945, two weeks after the fall of Berlin, saying Hitler was spotted arriving by the Andes Mountains in Argentina by submarine accompanied by 6 top Argentinian officials for his protection. This document has neither generated media coverage or updated our knowledge of history online or in the textbooks. It has also been recently found through DNA testing that Hitler's skull belonged to a woman under the age of 40. All this leads to the question, "how much trust can we put into our public education of history?"
In order for something to be considered scientific knowledge, you must be able to replicate the experiments and get the same results under the same conditions anywhere in the world. There are many cases when scientists make bold claims like the octopus came to earth from outer space on an asteroid. There are also many cases when people claim science for pseudo-scientific studies such as the four personality types which are based on the five widely-accepted personality traits. This knowledge is based on fiction and the assumption that humans fall into categories of personality types. Be careful when studying science as there are many examples of claims to science that are not considered to be scientific knowledge. As another example, the fields of western psychology and psychiatry are currently experiencing "The Replication Crisis" as of the year 2020. Scientists are currently figuring out that they cannot replicate the results to the experiments used in psychology and psychiatric medicine.
More examples of currently accepted beliefs in science that are not considered to be scientific knowledge:
The Theory of Evolution is a hypothesis.
The Big Bang Theory is a hypothesis.
The supercontinent of Pangea is a hypothesis.
The radiometric dating of rocks is disputed by polystrate fossils.
When studying science, you must be careful to distinguish what is considered to be scientific knowledge from that which is not.
We can notice flaws within the beliefs of our public education as well as in the very foundations of the knowledge presented to us by viewing our education in the context of western knowledge. As a classic example, neither Christopher Columbus nor Amerigo Vespucci discovered America. The flaw of the belief of western knowledge that they did discover America is that people were already living in America and therefore others had knowledge of the continent prior to these explorers. Many people are also uneducated about the distinction between western psychology and eastern psychology which is otherwise known as Buddhist psychology. In general, the perspectives of the people who lived outside of the western world are often ignored in our education. We can see that this is true for Native Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, and Native Australians for examples.
To improve our understanding of our knowledge, we must view our education in the context of western knowledge.
Inference is using observation and background to reach a logical conclusion. We can gain additional knowledge without it being given to us explicitly using inference. For example, if we see cookie crumbs on someone's shirt, then we can infer that they recently ate cookies. We can also use the power of inference to gain a deeper understanding of other people, events, or beliefs. For example, if someone says something, we can begin to think of why they would say what they said. We can observe the tone of voice, the language, and combine it with our background knowledge of a person to infer the causes to why that person would say what they said. We can also use inference to investigate mysterious scenarios further by trying to figure out things such as the possibilities of what could have taken place using deduction as a tool to infer conclusions.
Throughout our daily life, we can find inference to be a powerful skill for the comprehension of situations and for reaching additional conclusions based on the information presented to us.
What can you infer about a person based on what they said?
When we hold on to personal biases or a predetermined rejection of other beliefs or viewpoints that disagree with our own, we don't get to see the full picture. To improve our overall understanding of a subject at hand, we must know to consider an opposing viewpoint and to look for what is true or what can be true. We don't have to accept those things that we do not know to be true, but we can consider the other ideas or perspectives presented to us by a different viewpoint in order to enhance our perspective of the larger picture which can in many cases result in the development of new ideas and even in finding new solutions to the problem at hand that haven't been considered or mentioned yet. By acquiring the ability to entertain a thought without necessarily accepting it, we can obtain additional information that we can then use to infer other things such as the causes for why such ideas and perspectives would arise, for example.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -Aristotle
We can formulate our language to form sentences based on the feelings attached to the words that we use in the sentence. Our choice of vocabulary is important for forming a sentence in such a way as to convey the feelings we want to give off in our desired message. One way to generate more positivity within yourself is to make changes to the words you use in your vocabulary. For example, if you replace the word "stupid" with "dumb" then you can convey the same meaning with a much less negative emotion attached to the word. The word "dumb" has a less harsh connotation and is less demeaning than the word "stupid." We can be selective of our language to construct more precise arguments as well as to express ourselves in the most beneficial way possible.
If you want to alleviate tensions in a conversation, you can formulate your speech by thinking about the language you will use and noticing how it feels prior to speaking.
We can also replace negative words in our vocabulary with the negation of the antonym. For example, you can say something is "not good" instead of using the word "bad" to avoid the negative feelings associated with the word "bad" and point the listener to the opposite of the negative term. We can utilize our vocabulary in many ways for a positive benefit.
I would like to begin by saying that I received an A in my evolutionary biology class and that I have a solid foundation for my understanding of the theory of evolution. In college, we are taught that "all the evidence that we have collected in the last 100 years since Charles Darwin has agreed with this theory." I would like to point your attention to several examples where this statement is not true. It should be worrisome to professionals in the field of biology that the following examples of knowledge are being overlooked and kept outside of our education and textbooks.
I also quote Charles Darwin at the end of this article, who predicted that if the following examples are true, then it would present great difficulty to his theory in his original publication of "On the Origin of Species" the 1st edition in 1859. We obtained this evidence in the 1950's and yet the science community continues to overlook it and is reluctant to adjust to new accepted beliefs in science.
"Not all four corners of the world have been explored yet."-Charles Darwin
The Polynesian Migration
The Polynesian Migration is a great example of the major gap in the theory of evolution: The theory of migration of the same species to different corners of the world. I will present to you several examples of how migration of the same species to different corners of the world doesn't make sense in this article.
Even if we are to believe that the Native Hawaiians brought the Polynesian rat with them thousands of miles across the ocean in canoes by accident and then accidentally introduced them into every single island in Hawaii, then we still have to consider the Native Hawaiian snail species. The snail, whose current estimation of origination dates back to 500 million years ago (which recently was dated back to 85 million years ago), would have had to have taken a migration path of land, sea, or air to migrate to the Hawaiian islands which were never connected by land to any of the megacontinents that formed in the past history of the timeline of earth known as Pangea, Gondwana, and Rodinia. Since snails don't fly, the snail would have also had to have traveled on the canoes with the Native Hawaiians during their currently believed migration to the Hawaiian islands, and then it would have had to evolve into all the Native Hawaiian snail species.
This theory states that the Native Hawaiians migrated to the Hawaiian Islands from the Marquesas Islands. These islands are 2,000 miles apart across the Pacific Ocean.
Polynesian natives had no knowledge of this migration or any knowledge of long-distance voyaging on canoes. However, in the 1970's, scientists built the Native Hawaiians a performance-accurate canoe designed for long-distance voyaging with modern engineering named the Hokule'a which claims successful voyages across the Pacific Ocean as well as some desperate rescue situations. Is there anything fishy about this?
The Hōkūleʻa
The Evolutionary Biology textbook I had for college tries to cover up knowledge of the Polynesian Migration by using the Hawaiian Islands to wrongly assume the opposing argument.
In the Evolutionary Biology Textbook
If we would naturally answer that elephants couldn't get to the Hawaiian Islands as the textbook states, then wouldn't we naturally answer that humans and their livestock couldn't get there either for the exact same reason?
The Migration of Humans to the Americas through Beringia
Is the migration of humans to the Americas through Beringia a believable story? Did every other species that we see in the Americas as well as in Asia also migrate to the Americas through this land bridge that existed during the last ice age?
The shape of the earth 21 million years ago, when the common ancestor of the monkey existed, more closely resembles the shape of the world today as the landmasses were already separated by vast oceans which existed as massive geological barriers for migration of land species.
The earth (21 million years ago)
Is this story of the common ancestor of the monkey floating across the ocean on mats of vegetation believable?
How Did Any of the Species of the Same Origin Get to America?
What Charles Darwin said about this in "On the Origin of Species"
Charles Darwin made a strong point on the importance of the idea that all species originated from a single source for the theory of evolution to hold water. He states that because of "vast geographical and climatal changes which have supervened since ancient times" that "almost any migration is possible." However, they did not have the geological knowledge that we have today back in the 1800's and at that time there were parts of the world that haven't been explored yet.
I have presented to you several examples of where there is great difficulty in understanding the migrations of the same species to different corners of the world, where it would be logically impossible to have occurred, and I've shed light on the lack of knowledge presented to us concerning this matter.
