So are you're saying that they apply only to those who do not unquestioningly accept the truth of TUB?

Ah, so you have questioned TUB. What about it have you doubted? Have you found anything in it that you have concluded was wrong?

I thought this whole Urantia nonsense had been put to rest by now.
The book, albeit advanced for its time, had no knowledge of plate techtonics, and subsequently its Earth origin is flawed.
While I can admire the enormous effort put into the book and its deception, as it is well over a 1,000 pages, and reads like a boring Bible..., it is so utterly nonsensical and convoluted, that one must have a disturbing mental illness to believe it.
I sat down and read the first 50 pages and realized that the Urantia is a complete waste of time.

Hi Buffy,
I actually did find something that might be an error. I'll check into it and get back with you, but, Turtle has been complaining about off topic posts here and a whole slew of posts have been relocated because of it.
What is the deal with the bears and lions and your ceremony invented by the devil?

It's probably evidence of a hoax simply because the Urantia guys couldn't even spell plate techtonics properly.

Sometimes, research is necessary in order to attain enlightenment...
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author,

Yes Buffy, and a bad forum tells us the truth about its administrators.
As I promised you earlier, I believe I did find an error in the Urantia papers, probably the only one.
102:8.4 "Ethics is the eternal social or racial mirror which faithfully reflects the otherwise unobservable progress of internal spiritual and religious developments. Man has always thought of God in the terms of the best he knew, his deepest ideas and highest ideals. Even historic religion has always created its God conceptions out of its highest recognized values. Every intelligent creature gives the name of God to the best and highest thing he knows."
I believe the word "eternal" was a transcription error and should read "external".

What about all the other (science) ones that have already been brought up in the other thread?

Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own. Read » | 0 comments
