Wheat increases associative horizon

Temporarily, maybe (?). Anyway, this is an exciting revelation because it explains a great deal about European history (and here I hadn’t mentioned associative horizon for almost a week). My sister-in-law mentioned this study a while back, so I’m glad … Continue reading

Neat question

Regarding Christianity, I find this: http://www.theswordbearer.org/p005_summaries.html 1. The author says immortality of soul is unbiblical and unproven, only spirits are immortal. In the time of the adulthood of Abraham, God stoped being the Father of all humans to be the … Continue reading
