Scientists see a moon and they hypothesize that it was a result of something that crashed into earth. This is not very sophisticated at all if you ask me. Why don't the scientists start by figuring out the cause of lightning and thunder? I would first explain the present world before making up fancy stories about what happened in the past.
As per the above post of OpenMInd in thread "Evidence for God", I'd like to extend my deepest appologies to the affected by my topic "GOD IS DEAD". Apperantly OpenMInd has found critical evidence pointing clearly that God does in fact exist. It's the thunder and lightning! Pop the champaigne and dance.
Now the question is - Why haven't scientists been able to explain thunder and lightning for so long and do we need the EVC forum anymore or should we shut it down? Why is NASA withholding evidence again?

Because, like I said in the original thread as well, thunder and lightning are made by the Mighty Thor. Everybody knows this, so there is no need to delve into this deeper. I'm glad mankind can now once again find their true purpose and die in glorious battle against our enemies! Hail Thor!

Pictures?
No, you are both wrong - I think OpenMInd means God is just taking pictures of us, at night. I mean, during daytime, you don't really need flash, do you? I think God needs to upgrade his equipment, as it goes BOOM after each shot. Must be an antique Soviet camera from the Smena series:

Valhalla
Valhalla didn't appear as a concept until after contact with christians as far as nordic/viking scholars can tell. Damn lack of written sources.

Re: Letter to God - Not Found
wouldn't it be really funny if they sent the letter and it came back with a '404 - Not Found' error message ?!

Save a few bucks on intermediaries and write directly to God:

God is a commercial entity?
That explains a lot...
For those not savvy on the reasons for .com, .org, and the other endings of web addresses, .com is short for "commercial," and is supposed to be used for businesses. This is why whitehouse.gov is the government page, and the .com version is a commercial venture that I wouldn't visit on a work computer

Similarly, is a reference to the site's function as Satan's net with which to drag innocent souls away from Christ...

Re: Valhalla
Really! That's very interesting. My native mythology has a rake of stories changed by Christianity, but I didn't know Nordic mythology was changed that much by its arrival. Then again, Valhalla is never actualy mentioned in most of stories, which is often the sign of something introduced later. At last in my experience.

Re: Valhalla
Well, as I mentioned, we lack written sources for the period before christian contact. The vikings just didn't write*, everything was passed on orally. The first writings about vikings (except for a few mentions from classical roman writers) are from christians or those who were dealing with christians. Viking mythology is probably less known than the greek and roman pantheons. We don't really know the rituals, we don't really know the religion as it was before contact. While I'm not all that knowledgable, I wouldn't be surprised is the viking flood of blood wasn't in some way influenced by noah's flood. Rangarok has the flavor of armegedon to it (in that the survivors come to live in a world similar to the one which results from the second coming of Christ).
*There are the rune stones, but these are also from the era of christian contact and do not deal with religion except so far as to say "Erik Haraldson died a Christian", and those are rare enough. Most simply talk about the death of a person.
