Also I believe that capitalism has it good aspects nevertheless it has a serious problem regarding the natural world 🌎 of which we are part and the USA 🇺🇸 is one of the countries that has destroyed a lot of its territory just for economic development. Native peoples of all the world understand our profound link to the natural world and our connection to it. I had the opportunity to visit the USA 🇺🇸 in various moments of my life and I has beautiful places like Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. I hope that in time we can make a brotherhood between science ecology and economics along with peace ☮️ and also justice!

    I've lost all respect for Bill Moyer for this "scripted" interview ... and Mike Lofgren is explaining mostly NSA stuff ... that is not what tRumper Republicans are talking about as "the deep state". Everyone alread knows from the 70's about the FBI, CIA, NSA interference and now we know about NSA data spying on US citizens ... however, tRumpers are really talking about the regular state of people in Agencies making decisions and rules about regulations on trucking, food, real estate, taxes and the environment. Well, these people make detailed rules because congress can't make and change laws every week or even every 5 years to fit the times ... so they passed laws to create power in agencies to make "rules" based on expert knowledge. This is the "Deep State" ... unelected people making detailed rules under the law. We can't run the most complicated country in the world without having an appointed "Bureaucracy" that can make flexible rules that must be followed by more "general laws" made by elected officials. This "Deep State" is what makes our country so stable compared to other countries ... it also holds the institutional knowledge to continue to grow and deal with the world we live in. Best Example is when tRump wanted to gut the Energy department that had all the experts that were tracking all of the nuclear programs in the world. Fire those guys, and we will never know who has a nuke, or where they might be transported. We have "deep state" people who have detectors all over the world trying to make sure nukes are not moved around.

    WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION REALLY ABOUT? How ironic that Tyson criticizes the text of Revelation when he doesn't even understand it at all, indicating he's done no significant research on this topic (or else he has, and is just choosing to misrepresent Bible scholars who have). He's a scientist, he says. Who doesn't fully research a topic before debating it? That isn't a scientist. It isn't even smart. Were he to have read any Bible commentaries written prior to 1830 he would know that what he was saying was a complete lie - an intentional misrepresentation - but it seems obvious to me that he's never actually read a Bible commentary written before 1830 (when the popular rapture theory was first introduced). THE HISTORICAL FACT is that the book of Revelation was always regarded as figurative, symbolic speech UNTIL Darwin, Bertrand Russell and other godless fools began to make headway in the cultural landscape in the West. It was THEN that some (Zionists/Dispensationalists) began insisting on a wooden literal translation of Revelation. So, Tyson is actually stating THE OPPOSITE of what is historically true. That pretty much discounts him as knowledgeable (or truthful) on this topic. No surprise to me there. Ancient scholars understood the symbolism found in Revelation, because it's often quoting Old Testament prophets. Read this, from Isaiah 13, which is, as it clearly tells us, a prophecy about the destruction of Babylon: Isaiah 13:1 - The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. Isaiah 13:9-11 - Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. It's judgment language. About the destruction of a wicked nation. That happened. Prophecy fulfilled. The sun, stars, moon language is figurative there, and it's figurative also in Revelation. The Bible explains/interprets itself for those who actually study it. How about this? Obviously figurative language. God is a spirit (John 8:24) - "riding on" or "coming with clouds" is figurative language. Even a child can discern this unless first taught otherwise. Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. That was fulfilled. The destruction of Egypt. God didn't actually "ride" on a swift cloud. C'mon, God gave us brains. Let us use them to reason, using logic. Too bad Tyson won't. But, how ironic that Tyson, who doesn't understand the Bible because he hasn't even attempted to understand it, would be critical of "those stupid God-believers." Neil deGrasse Tyson has lost all credibility with me. I guess I know him too well. He lies, and not just once in a while. It's evidently part of his job. See other examples in Isaiah 34, which is a prophecy of Edom's destruction. Obviously it is figurative language. In understanding God's word we are to use reason and logic, Neil. Isaiah 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. Now, to the Christians reading this. Why hasn't your pastor/teacher told you these things? You can study them yourself, and I suggest you do. Most eschatology teaching today is false - turn away from it - and if someone mentions a rapture, run even faster from them. They're not speaking for God. How can we know? Because they're not speaking truth.

  • @jeremiah5319
    @jeremiah5319 29 дней назад

    @18:02 - The first problem is that God-hating Atheists don't understand the Bible when they read it (if they even do) and, the next problem is that most Christians don't understand it (or read it) either, at least enough to correct the false assumptions of the godless. In both cases, they depend on others to tell them what the Bible says and means, which opens a wide door to false prophets and false teachers who don't understand it themselves. Best-selling 'end of the world' books and rapture movies have thrived on people who don't understand prophecy. Such irony! First, Neil, the "stars" in Revelation are not intended to be understood as large celestial bodies. The "stars falling from heaven" serves a metaphor. The stars are symbolic of religious leaders. How do we know this? Because the Bible tells us this here: Genesis 37:9-10 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? As that informs us, when Joseph's father heard the dream, he was able to properly interpret it's symbolic meaning. Neil deGrasse Tyson could learn something here. Throughout the Bible, dreams and visions include tons of symbolism, most of which is made clear in the Old Testament (which many people often ignore). If one attempts to understand Revelation without first having read and understood the O.T. prophets, he'll be totally confused or easily misled by false teachers, of which there are thousands today. The book of Revelation is the prophecy of the destruction of the Herodian '2nd' temple and Jerusalem, and the putting away of the old covenant - the end of Torah - events which took place exactly as Jesus had also prophesied in Luke 21, Mark 13 and Matthew 24 - all fulfilled in the generation of Jesus' original hearers of his prophecies - fulfilled in AD70, which is one of the most-documented of ancient historical events. Any reader of 1st-century historian Josephus easily makes this connection. (download free pdf: Wars of the Jews) But who reads 1st-century history today? Even universities like Princeton, first established as a Christian institution, are abandoning requirements for learning ancient languages and history, etc. Why? Because progressive narratives don't benefit from history lessons. In April 2021, Princeton University removed the requirement for classics majors to study Latin or Greek... Why? Does this only seem stupid to me? Just ignore history? If we do, we'll just have more Neil deGrasse Tysons in the world, people who love their official Scientism narratives more than the truth/reality. And lovers of Truth don't want more like him. If you want to learn more about this topic (Revelation: The Destruction of Jerusalem, AD70), research "Covenant Eschatology" for better understanding, and maybe even a needed paradigm shift to better understand what's really going on in the world that no one is telling you about.
