Apples were imported to North America IIRC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_appleseed
[
Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman (September 26, 1774–February 18, 1847), was
an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced the apple to large parts of Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois. He became an American legend while still alive, largely
because of his kind and generous ways, his great leadership in conservation, and
the symbolic importance of apples.

He was also a missionary for the Church of the New Jerusalem, or Swedenborgian
Church, so named because it teaches the theological doctrines contained in the
writings of Emanuel Swedenborg.

Not that the early recorded forms of the tales had apples.

No snake in the early recorded tales either IIRC.

I hear arguments that god never gives you more than you can handle; so what
about about people who commit suicide? Maybe god yells out "Ops! I messed up
again!".

 

Check out the blurb at the bottom of www.yunx.com. It's a cool little

the very bottom right area of the web page.

On the one hand, science and religion can never be reconciled, because their
fundamental operation are at odds. Science is in a constant flux of
proving/disproving, usually something new (called progress), whilst religion
eternally seeks to re-affirm what already is. Religion is fundamentally
circular.

But Religion is also big, big, big, big bidniss.
According to my Economist-reading wife, the Vatican paid out, in one lump
sum I think, $1.5 BILLION in all the priest/sex stuff.
One wonders how much they have left in the kitty.
In CA, the big diocese over there paid a $660 million class action
settlement. Dat's some expensive fondling, eh??
I wonder what the sum total of all the Tele-evangelists assets are--billions
I'm sure. And Jimmy Swaggart deserves every penny of his share.

And I'll bet the jw's are worth billions, which they pretty much deserve.
You may differ from their religious take, and not appreciate them pounding
on yer door (never asking for money, btw), but their social philosophy is
almost beyond reproach.

Otoh, one could call science quasi religious, in that it vests so much into
what have so far been pretty much unassailable "laws", a kind of 10
Commandments, if you will:
Newton, Thermo (the real scientific religious bedrock), relativity, QM,
electrodynamics (maxwell), and a bunch of mathematical/geometrical
"laws"--bearing in mind that physics/math accommodates a dizzying array of
geometries, which always struck me as pretty weird.

However, science uses these religio/scientific laws to essentially move on,
not to cater to themselves, or to jerk themselves off. The laws are
formulated to be as general as possible, to explain as much as possible.

Unfortunately, science, as practiced, is its own Big Bidniss, with its own
attendant corruption, truly rampant in Big Pharm, which is conducting
bullshit biochemical experiments on the whole effing world.
Much less widespread in the "pure" sciences, such as laser physics,
superconductivity, etc., because industry hinges on the results, so you
can't bullshit too much.
Cold Fusion notwithstanding.

But always, you play the game properly and kiss the right ass and kiss it
properly, or you don't get funded.

Which sometimes engenders outright fraudulent results, but this is probably
not the explicit rule--except in Big Pharm, where corruption, fraud, payola,
and Corporate Pathology ARE the explicit rule, and whose philosophy is:
God invented humans so's we can charge them exhorbitant rates
to experiment on them.

Yeah, that has to be the most cockeyed aphorism I've ever heard. It looks
like he wrote down each of those words on scraps of paper, folded them up so
he couldn't see what was on them, and then wrote the sentence that resulted
as he took them out and opened them up.

 

They look as old as Gunner?

Crazed fundie loonies are persistant. If only they were bright enough to
know what the subject is about.
BTW, Fudies are a danger too. Look at all their wars & superstitious
rules to impose on others by force. AND they can inbreed with wingers I
fear.

 

Probably best to compare with the long--term costs of hookers & etc,
like in the good old conservative days.
Before repubs dating in airports or with pages too.

 

IIRC The Catholic church is the worlds largest landlord & slumlord.
But the Greek Orthodox ones own the most land (acres) in the US.
And, in terms of "equivalent after-tax income", they make more
than lawyers (but a little less than doctors) in the US per the GAO.
Better work week & hours too.
There are hundreds of books of full of sermons to copy ... and
you just have to love PhDs from Freedom University.

In point of fact it sort of leans towards saying that there
is much that we cannot "know" no matter what. Not even
counting how dumb & limited we are.
