I dunno, a top posting cretin using outlook express and quoting
thousands of lines of inanity isn't the sanest thing in my book.

A SHORT TREATISE ON THE REALITY OF GOD
God is the ultimate reality. He has spun the universes into existence
and has created all other beings. As humans, we too had our beginning
from God. Like Plato and Socrates, I believe that we pre-existed in a
spiritual realm prior to being born into this world. Unfortunately
the
church fathers, with the exceptions of Origen and Augustine, rejected
this view as an overreaction to the heresies of gnosticism and
neoplatonism that threatened to subvert the Gospel. How do I know of
this pre-existence? I have very faint memories of a spiritual
existence
before being born into this world. My children spoke of this of this
existence when they were small. I have heard of other 2-4 year old
children being able to talk of their own pre-existence in the
spiritual
realm prior to their earthly birth, when carefully questioned about
it.
One couple I know of had three boys who each spoke of having been

Hi y'all. I just got a brand new 4.5" reflector and am getting
familiar with polar alignment, declination and right ascension, etc.
I've got it assembled with help from several excellent websites.
I've got the equatorial mount set to my latitude, 50 degrees. It
points very close to where Polaris is. So far so good.
When I point the scope in the same alignment as the mount, ie.
directly towards Polaris, the declination ring shows 0 degrees. Should
it not show 90 degrees when pointed at Polaris? Am I missing
something?
