Speaking of Disney, check this out: MathMagic: that time Disney used Donald Duck to teach children about the magical qualities of pentagrams and sacred geometry: https://bitchute.com/video/Ujr6XUMmm4Dh [6:35mins]

That pentagon bit is pretty creepy, but really, all points to the Sovereign Designer. Again, we see the perfect turned into something vile. Satan uses the perfect shape of nature to represent his church. There is nothing coincidental about any of this but the ultimate meaning escapes me. Again, I am reminded that I must trust GOD.

Plato (4th century BC) had a phrase that, if counting the letters of each word, would give the number 3.14159. Loosely translated it states: "forever God, Great Geometer defines the circumference of the circle".

I watched it. Too bad I didn’t see this when I had geometry in high school. It might have made me more appreciative of the subject.

Which is why you didn't see it. QED

The MathMagick animator really dropped the ball, failing to traumatize the children at the beginning of the clip by killing a cute woodland creature.

That's how you get passed over for 33rd degree. And no bonus check for beltane that year.

Not everyone is cut out to be Club 33 material. Some folks actually have a conscience.

I think that is the movie they ran when we were on holiday. Almost everyone in the room left. I liked the music, but my ex would have rather left too.

As a former educator, it is sad they starred with a pentagram, but I thought the sacred geometry was very instructive and would help a child look at the world with new eyes.

I don't see anything untoward in that video. It describes how God ordered the world.

To be fair, part of the way Christianity spread is that whenever they ran into another culture, they would absorb a lot of its holidays and make them their own (Easter and Christmas are famous example), then demonize parts of the religion.

The caduceus and pentagram are examples of this.

You never know what people are talking about when they are using symbols. One one hand, the swastika represents the Nazis, on another, it's harmony and well being.

Christmas is indeed a "re-purposed" holiday, but Easter is a historical observance based on the Jewish passover combined with the resurrection. Atheist claims that it was once "pagan" are made up. (Though the bunnies and eggs may well be adopted from pagan spring celebrations.)

Easter is a planting season celebration, as far as I know.

The Jewish religion isn't that old really, it was founded in 700 BC, their god "Yahweh" is most likely the Babylonian God of War. Much of their history is fabricated. There was no King David for example, and "the Philistines" are very likely to be the Palestinians now (or rather their descendants). There was never an "Israel".

It's really hard to tell, but you can see the crossover of Easter with some, dead, spring celebration. Probably a pagan celebration of rebirth, after all, even today, we associate bunnies with reproduction.

We don't really know. Records are destroyed purposely, or were... We can all record history now. The problem we're working on now, is longevity of the records. Today, you can record more books than you could POSSIBLY read in a lifetime, on an $11 SD card, but it stops working in about 10 years, 20 years at most.

Indelible data storage is our last step. When we get that... People in 4000 AD will be able to see how we actually lived. That's like being able to see how Rome REALLY was in 0 AD. We have to develop permanent data storage.
