So my question are these...:
1) If they weren't siblings, where did they come from?
2) If they were siblings, since when (where in the Bible) did God decree that married couples shouldn't be closer than cousins?




Ever heard of Tubal-Cain in the bible. I believe he lived before the flood and was a great-great grandchild of Cain. I think he lived in wicked city Cain founded. Anyways Tubel cain is believed to have been the start of mystical knowledge and the Freemasons. So if you are a mason and you are to be tried in court and you call out Tubal Cains name, any freemason in the room has sworn an oath to protect you. Even if it means lying...You can trace that back a long ways.

Obsess much, Verlch (with apologies to Ace Ventura)?

Yes, there is a biblical character Tubal-qain (or Cain, as it is traditionally translated). He appears in Gen 4:22. He is described at the first worker of metal, in contrast to his cousins Yaval and Yuval, the first of which was the first nomad, the second of which was the first to play music.

Obviously, these are references to myths or legends that would have made sense to a resident of western Asia in the first millennium BC or so but have sense been lost. Doubtles if we had every story passed down in written form, and if every such story were preserved, we'd find a collection of tales about the first guy to work metal, and so on. Unfortunately, all we actually have are these little glimpses.

Where you get your wild ideas are not clear to me, though I'm sure you're going to be quick to link a dozen or so fucked-up web pages wherein I can read all sorts of fabulous fiction about how there really was a Tubal-Cain, and how he somehow founded the Freemasons, and how he must have made Noah a Freemason (since everyone but Noah and his family died in the flood), and how this tradition made it all the way to the present.

Explain to me again why these baseless stories-- conjured up with no evidence at all!-- are easy to accept but evolution-- with more evidence that you can link to this forum-- isn't?

Hehe. That question totally reminds me of a list I've been meaning to post...


Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Let's see if we can examine the flaw with verlch's latest assertion.

As Cuneiformist pointed out, somehow Noah would have had to have been a freemason. If Noah was a freemason, then he probably trained his sons to be masons as well. Therefore there should be evidence of freemasonry readily apparent in every culture and society on earth.

Let's see.... yeah, those Zulu warriors must have been hiding their masonic tendencies. Same as those dastardly Native Americans... and damn, what about the aboriginal peoples in Australia? Yeah, bet they are all secretly freemasons...

Listen, my newest best friend, yes Tubal Cain existed before the flood. All of humanity died. Noah spent 120 years building the ark with his three sons, they where mocked day and night. The humans of the time made fun of Noah day and night, yet 8 humans are saved from death. Who knows which one of those men kept the knowledge of the craft? Tubal Cain is a father of the craft. If it started 2 minutes ago or 4000 years ago, I do not know.

But all I know is the first entity in the universe that ceased to exist is Abel. When Cain rose up and slew him in cold blood. He spilled Abel's blood all over the ground.

Why do you go down to your local masonic headquarters and learn something about them. Instead of lashing out all over the place????

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats.

The answer appears to be pretty mundane. A single sentence in here explains that the shape was chosen to fit between existing roads at the original location.

I can't get the archive link to work, so you have to go here:

http://james.jlcarroll.net/symbolism/pentagram.html

PENTAGON. A geometrical figure of five sides and five angles. It is the third figure from the exterior, in the Camp of the Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret, or Thirty-second Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. In the Egyptian Rit of Cagliostro, he constructed, with much formality, an implement called the sacred pentagon, and which, being distributed to his disciples, gave, as he affirmed, to each one the power of holding spiritual intercourse.

Why is our Pentagon that shape, both the washington monument and pentagon are shapes out of egypt. Statue of Liberty represents the mother of Tammaz out of Babylon.
