ok so I read it wrong,
but my point still stands.

lemme ask you this though.....

you do know some of the first astronomers not only utilized commonsense but were polytheists right?
you do know though they did not have "technological advanced tools" that many of them were spot on not only in terms of the alignment of stars but also that the earth revolves around the sun.

according to some though these negroes couldn't possibly have known this grin
it must have been the result of alien encounters. grin

but those are YOUR people tho...you know NASA, the science cults..etc etc.

"The Dogon use four calenders, derived from the sun, moon, Sirius, and Venus, and have long believed in a heliocentric universe, in which the planets revolve around the sun."

heheheheeee grin

but if some white man in a smock says it
with his technology, I guess he was just some genius tho.

these polytheistic..(pro-theism) negroes..must be aliens. grin

I also find it amazing that the Dongon had
that much knowledge on Astronomy. However I doubt they had any interaction with extraterrestrials. I suspect that at some point they must have encountered explorers from other parts of the world, this would explain how they were able to know these things without telescopes.
Re: Interesting Videos On Evolution/creationism/spirituality; ETC by Nobody: 6:25pm On Aug 29, 2013
I will answer your question and add more to further explain my point of view.

MY DEFINITION OF COMMONSENSE is simple:

making sense out of nonsense using our natural senses and spirituality.

(now that i think of it perhaps there is a better word for this but I will call it 'commonsense' for now)

You see, I believe some of the early "humans" (esp. the Africans and native americans) were not only VERY knowledgeable about our genesis but that they were able to do what I said above with little problems hence why they were the strongest humans to have ever walked the earth, the wisest, and were able to survive using their minds alone; unlike us today who have to depend on technology and what we are "told" is right...by scientists and religitards alike.

some of us still have this in us. today we refer to it as intuition though it is not as strong as it were for those who came before us who were far more connected with their God/s, the universe and their spirituality.

It's no coincidence you had all of these spectacular ancient societies all over the world with a shared common knowledge about earth, creation and so forth using commonsense (or the ability to see the truth using our natural senses), theism/spirituality and HONEST science.

but that was the past.
the introduction of modern science has not only weakened our connection with the universe and our spirituality but also our sense of creativity.

Some of our forefathers challenged nature, went against the grain and thus have forsaken our generation who are more about trying to disprove spirituality/God and explain the unexplainable.

Speaking of which....

i doubt this will make sense to you being that you are an atheist and really, only those who accept true spirituality will understand.

When you have people who really have to ask how were the pyramids created without alien involvement or the stones placed on easter island without construction tools and trucks, you know we are in trouble. grin

as if what we know today is not due to those who came before us, 99% of whom were spiritual-theists who sited their knowledge as being gifts from God/s.

I never said Europeans. The Point i'm trying to make is that everyone was ignorant when it came to the "heavenly bodies", including the Europeans. The Ignorance dissipated when individuals started observing the Planet and Stars with telescopes. I don't see how common sense will reveal the number of moons that orbit a Planet!

Explain to me how your Senses accurately predict the Structure of the Universe. Your Definition applies also to the Scientific Method, the only difference is that your "common sense definition" only comes in when we have collected Data and information on an Entity. It is then we put the Jig Saw together and make sense out of Nonsense. I personally don't see how your senses give you a result when no Data was collected. How do you know how many Moons Saturn has, when no telescope was Used?

of course you wouldn't because you do not believe in God lol.
even when it's been proven that those people knew all about the cosmos prior to European involvement you STILL fail to accept that their knowledge was due to divine intervention and deep rooted spirituality.

and frankly that's not my problem bruv. grin

The Universe is an Illusion, But Consciousness Isn't.

Re: Interesting Videos On Evolution/creationism/spirituality; ETC by Nobody: 10:42pm On Aug 29, 2013
Consciousness is only the center of importance to those who are conscious. The sun is only bright because we have eyes. Solids only exist because we're so large compared to the vibrating particles that appear to be a singular solid.

But I disagree about our thoughts creating the universe. It seems that consciousness is reactionary to things that happen. We are our environments. We're born into this thing, not the other way around.

WELL SAID!!

All Solids are made up of Particles, these particles are Atoms.

The only reason why the Solid appears in solid form to us is because we are much larger than these Atoms. If we were at a microscopic level size, we'll be able to see each constituent Particle that is contained in the Solid.
