Genesis Veracity Foundation! [View all]

Go get a sammich and something to drink. And some aspirin. We may be here awhile.

I first heard of the Genesis Veracity Foundation on the local Fundie radio station in Los Angeles, (K)KKLA.

The GVF runs many radio spots, claiming "rock solid evidence that Genesis is the ONLY real history." The pitchman then orders everyone to get a paper and pencil, and write down "genesisveracityfoundation.com."

Yes, I am mean enough to note this - he's making the rather large assumption that an audience of right-wing Fundies can spell "veracity." Or "foundation." Or ".com."

Well, OK. OMGGENESISISREAL!1! is a standard enough Fundie claim. So I moseyed over to the website.

Argh! It's like the offspring of a weekend orgy involving Ken Ham, Immanuel Velikovsky and Erich von Daniken. (And you're welcome, for that lovely mental image.)

This guy throws everything into the mix - numerology, Atlantis, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Crackpot Climatology, Young Earth Creationism, ancient occult knowledge, astrology and I don't know what all.

It certainly isn't the usual boring YEC website.

A couple of examples:

Demonstrating Science Bible Mutually Inclusive

(That's the very first...sentence? on the website. WTF does it even MEAN?)

We all know that the book of Genesis as real history is not treated seriously in our public schools nor in the media, so the Genesis Veracity Foundation is an effort for grassroots dissemination of rock solid proofs of the scientific and historical truth of the Genesis account; that the ice age must have been caused by a warmer ocean, heated from below, that the ice age ended much later than we've been led to believe, evidenced by the submerged "bronze age" ruins worldwide, and certainly that the ancients gave meaning to the word geometry, earth measure, by accurately calculating distance and direction by the earth's wobble rate, what the darwinists are having a hard time digesting, so we must take the message to the people, help us guide them here.

Earth Measure Geometry

Mainstream science received a hot potato as I have determined the methodology for the math which prescribed the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Please enjoy, and note that it relates to the 72 conspirators against Osiris, to the 72 virgins of Islam, to the Hindu yugas of time that are multiples of 432,000 years, to the 432,000 warriors of Valhalla, to the 432,000 years of pre-Flood Babylonian kings’ reigns, to the 360 year Babylonian period of time called the sari, to the 360 pre-Islamic Arab gods, to our 360 degree mapping system, to our base 60 timekeeping system, and to astrology. I hope that you send this message far and wide, as it reveals the ancient mapping and navigation underpinnings for the numerology of much of the occult world.


Here, have fun! My brain hurts...

Thanks for the rave review! onager Feb 2012 #4
Thought I was agreeing with you. Oh well..... Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #6
What does "on your own decision" have to do with any of this? Silent3 Feb 2012 #9
You are talking about your post, right? cleanhippie Feb 2012 #10
I think that Kurmudgeon was referring to the Genesis Veracity Foundation, not to anyone's post. LeftishBrit Feb 2012 #74
I'm not convinced. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #77

Disprove one first. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #3
C'mon, even if you're a creationist, it's clear that this site was created by an insane person. DCKit Feb 2012 #5
I already stated I thought the site was bunk. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #7

Gen 1:25-27 and 2:18-22 cannot both be true. Hence one disproves the other. nt dmallind Feb 2012 #15
Give it a rest. Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #20
And YOU keep claiming that your version is actually "contemporary theology.", darkstar3 Feb 2012 #21
You'd be better served answering the actual literal challenge then, surely? dmallind Feb 2012 #23
Of course! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #24
How are they NOT here when we were challenged to disprove a Genesis creation story HERE? dmallind Feb 2012 #25
I guess I missed that post Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #26
There's only 26 to look at and this one was #3 dmallind Feb 2012 #27
It is a pretty wide jump to get that out of #3 Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #28
Deny. Move goalposts. Marginalize. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #30
Really? What the FUCK do you think "disprove one" means? dmallind Feb 2012 #31
I took it as a challenge hfojvt Feb 2012 #32
Fair enough... LeftishBrit Feb 2012 #75
Wonderful. jeepnstein Feb 2012 #14
Why should we be spending time and effort kicking at a straw man? Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #16
Because a sizeable plurality if not outright majority of believers take this crap seriously dmallind Feb 2012 #17
You bet we should! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #18
And when they just look blankly in return, can we converse on their level then? dmallind Feb 2012 #19
Straw man? He's a real person with an audience. onager Feb 2012 #22
