Semira aka Misraq, this is for you. You may impress some. I gave up on your faculty when you were writing as Semira because I found irrationality in your reasoning then. Insecure faculties argue for what is irrational when the simplest thing to do is argue for what is rational. Enlightened faculties do not fear reason, They respect it and accept it readily.

You have been lecturing me and others about ancient romance between the classes of that era. I said fine, give me more lectures from that time instead of cherry-picking it and comparing it with this time. You promised that you have some to share but failed to deliver.

Here I have a list that you could have studied to lecture. So, be my guest if you can and a guest to all who know and lecture about all of them. You can take on each, including crucifixion that a single structural engineer is likely to debunk scientifically.

This is an opportunity for all interested Ethiopians to do simple scientific exercises and elevate scientific discourse as well as interpret human history starting in ancient times.

Were the earliest leaders in human history wrong in light of contemporary scientific understanding? After all, would this contemporary scientific understanding emerge at all if those earliest leaders didn't attempt to understand nature?

Here are basic facts toward elevating the scientific discourse.

Idolatry was focused on animate matters. Aton, or sun, is an inanimate matter. The shift from idolatry to monotheism has been considered a progress. Mind you, that shift was from focusing on animate matters to an inanimate matter. Scientifically, is this a progress? Practically, the shift precipitated ancient Egypt's tumultuous history and the decline of its vibrant civilization, if my limited reading about it serves me right.

The Exodus came after the shift of focus from animate matters to the inanimate matter. How can science explain revelation in the era of proven modular sound waves. What is the proof for the mode in which the revelation sound was transmitted other than the conclusion that goes "I am who says I am?" Once you start to ask the mode of transmission of the sound, can you help asking if the source was an animate or inanimate matter? If you say it was from an animate matter, it would be going back from the inanimate matter source of monotheism.

The tumult led to a simplistic settling that by the will of God, some are blessed and others are cursed. That is authoritative for most. Is it scientific that some are blessed and others are cursed by nature? No. Do many resign to the authoritative sound? Don't go far in space and time to a far away neighborhood and to a so ancient time. Check it in your neighborhood today.

Is a purposeful or incidental romance between the classes in the middle of all of this in that ancient era out of the blue or strange? You be the judge.

Can contemporary science prove the reproducibility of the immaculate conception? I haven't heard about it so far.

Can a structural engineer calculate how long a human body stretched and pinned in the thumbs can stay suspended? Yes, he or she can.

Are millions and billions so dumb that they don't ask simple scientific questions? No. Have there been wise leaders or who try to be wise. I think there are plenty of them out there. You can walk into somebody's home, rearrange it overnight, and call it your house. That doesn't mean that the house didn't have a precedent.

Pardon my lecture here. I only wanted to show the big picture in reaction to another lecture here and here.
