Cylon Religion The Cylons believe that God created humankind. ... The Cylons believe that God directed humanity to create the Cylons as a more perfect entity. From there, the Cylons believe they were to take the place of the flawed humans in the cosmos and become, essentially, the next generation of humankind. [link to en.battlestarwikiclone.org (secure)]  God (sometimes referred to as The One True God or the Cylon God) is the deity worshiped by a minority of humans living in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol and by the Cylons dating back to their initial introduction into Colonial society... Quoting: Sol-tari Despite their colony's liberal and generally secular culture, some Capricans in the years before the Cylon War view monotheists with suspicion, even contempt. Agent Jordan Duram - an investigator for the GDD and devout polytheist - describes worship of a single god whose judgement cannot be questioned as "absolutism". Following the end of the war and the disappearance of the Cylons, belief in a singular god is diminished in the Twelve Colonies. Departing for The Colony with the Final Five, however, the Cylons develop their monotheistic religion, even learning more about human religion and its "false gods" than humanity itself (TRS: "Home, Part I"). Following the development of the humanoid models, fractures in the Cylons' belief system appear; some Cylons turning away from God and religion, others becoming devout (TRS: "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II", "No Exit"). Fifty years after their departure, the Cylons return to the Twelve Worlds in an all out attack on humanity (TRS: Miniseries, "The Plan"). The Cylons justify or attribute much of their actions, including the genocide of humanity, as a requirement of their God - going so far as to describe their existence as God's retribution for humanity's many sins The five priests of the Temple of Five worshiped a "god whose name must not be spoken." In ban word (lol)radition, the name of God (Yahweh) is not spoken. In a deleted scene (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I), Elosha states that the exodus from Kobol was precipitated when "one jealous god began to desire that he be elevated above all the other gods, and the war on Kobol began." The 1st commandment requires the faithful have no other god before Yahweh. I think if we ever found an answer to why the Cylons have a god or who the god is--you know, the guy steps out from behind the curtain--I think you’d be disappointed. They’re in an interesting place in that their faith is as legitimate as the human faith. Human beings have souls given by the gods, and Cylons have a soul given by their one true god and that has to be just as valid. That means there is a plan for their soul and something for them after they die too. It’s a fundamental element of their faith [link to en.battlestarwikiclone.org (secure)] Had to have a read myself. Figured it was just a learned behaviour...and seems to stand...tho the religious overtones are there in various way Certainly does not seem like the jealous type...more the omnipotent "yeah I know where it's going, I've seen the end before it begun" type Makes sense now why she says, That too is in God's plan..

Following the rise of the thinking machine empire, and the physical and psychological damage it inflicted on the remaining free humans, the very concept of a sentient machine became abhorrent to nearly all humankind. Animosity against seemingly intelligent machines often escalated into outright hysteria, and resulted in widespread hatred of mechanical objects. This hatred lasted through the ages thanks to rigid cultural restrictions, a good example of which was the Orange Catholic Bible's supreme commandment: Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

Alrighty, how about what was occuring/where were they when the first episode ended? Oh, and of course good morning to ya Seer  First episode ends at just after what happens in the village. They cut out the boring part where he is dragging his dad to the village after the attack on the farm..but the rest is there. The later books would drive you batty. They drove me batty...remember writing a report that was basically summed as "After 1000 pages nothing occured" You do get the first good look at Moiraine's powers which are pretty cool.

Warders are easily recognized by their distinctive Color-shifting cloak, made of fancloth, when they choose to wear it. The Warder bond was invented after the Breaking, and has distinct benefits for both parties. The Warder gains greater stamina and physical prowess, a greater capacity to resist evil, the ability to sense shadowspawn at a distance, and greater resistance to injury (totally aside from the proximity of his Aes Sedai, who is probably able to Heal his wounds using the Power). The Aes Sedai, for her part, gains a bodyguard, confidant and ally-in-schemes who is intrinsically linked to her and can be compelled, to a certain extent, through the bond. Both parties are able to sense the other's general location, physical well-being and, to some extent, emotional state. When an Aes Sedai dies, her Warder rarely survives. He completely loses the will to live and will almost always die attempting to avenge his Aes Sedai. A Warder's death is nearly as terrible for his Aes Sedai, creating so much emotional turmoil for her that often Aes Sedai take many years to bond another.

The email, obtained by SpaceExplored, CNBC, and The Verge, urged employees to work over the weekend in a desperate attempt to increase production of the engine meant to power its next-generation Starship launch vehicle. “Unfortunately, the Raptor production crisis is much worse than it seemed a few weeks ago,” Musk reportedly wrote. “As we have dug into the issues following exiting prior senior management, they have unfortunately turned out to be far more severe than was reported. There is no way to sugarcoat this.” “The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated” Musk tweeted. “It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.” Though Musk did not confirm or deny the email’s veracity he spoke to its content saying that, while he did not believe bankruptcy was likely, it wasn’t impossible either. The CEO went on to apparently quote Intel founder and former CEO Andrew Grove, writing “only the paranoid survive.” [link to mcutimes.com (secure)] [link to youtu.be (secure)] Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |
