ASEAN Night

Diplomatic relations between ASEAN countries intensify over dinner — Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia cordially met at the Thai Ambassador’s Residence last March 20, 2009, here in Athens. 

Her Excellency Asha Dvitiyananda, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Thailand, hosted a sumptuous fete in honor of the new Indonesian Ambassador, and the visiting Malaysian Ambassador, His Excellency Datuk Zakariah Sulong.

Thai’s First Secretary Phubadi and Mrs La-Or-Ngern received the guests at the Ambassador’s Residence while the delectable and luscious food was skillfully arranged by Second Secretary Wassana Pramulmuang.

The guests include:  (Philippines) HE Rigoberto and Mrs Tiglao, Deputy Chief of Mission Maria Fe Pangilinan, Minister and Consul General Constancio and Mrs Yoko Vingno  (Malaysia) HE Datuk Zakariah and Mrs Sulong, Honorary Consul Datuk Prof Thomas Antonius and Mrs Haziroglou, Mr Omad, and Mr   (Indonesia)  HE The Ambassador, Minister and Outgoing Consul General Hadi Sasmito and the Incoming Minister and Consul General. 

Amb Dvitiyananda and Mr Dvitiyananda welcomed everyone to their residence.  Her Excellency Dvitiyananda gave a short opening speech about the “ASEAN get together”  and about the important role of the ASEAN in furthering the relations and addressing current issues.  The Malaysian Ambassador articulately responded to the warm reception and the Indonesian Ambassador also eloquently thanked the host to the impressive dinner gathering (he just arrived the previous day with his wife.)

Shortly after, the dinner was served and started with hot and spicy Tom Yum soup followed by a generous serving of the famous “Pad Thai” with Som Tam (grated green papaya salad).  Boiled Octopus, Stir Fried Vegetables, and Tamarind Fish Fillet with Hot Rice was the main course.

The lovely night ended with Thai’s yummy Kao nia ma muang (sticky rice with mango) — dessert served with hot tea.

    Wikipedia is pushing the false concept of the Big Bang as never before.

    You might have noticed that Wikipedia now always puts in the “big bang”, instead of “creationism”, or “intelligent design”, but the devious purpose is exactly the same: to make you believe that a god created the universe.

    Pseudo-science is trying to substitute the obsolete concept of “creation” (no longer viable) with the “big bang”, as if a god exploded the universe into a creation.

    The “big bang” is just a substitute for “creation”.

    Then the same pseudo-scientists, paid by priests, by soldiers, and by businessmen (who all want to preserve their unjustified privileges by claiming that their privileges stem from a “creator”), claim “curvature of space”, “expanding universe”, “god’s particle”, “multiple universes”, “fifth dimension”, “relativity theory”, et coetera, as absurd explanations as to why the universe would be created and finite instead of eternal and infinite.

    They claim that in 15 billion years, since the so-called big-bang-creation, light has traveled in all directions for a distance equivalent to 45 billion light-years, to justify the alleged present size of the universe of 90 billion years, and they explain this mathematical impossibility with “… the acceleration of the expansion of the universe …”: a non-theory that is visibly nonsense, and deeply illogical.

    The universe is actually infinite in all directions, and has always existed, and will always exist. There is no “big bang” and no “creation”, as there will not be any “end of time” or any “armageddon”.

    We all agree that our planet Earth and the Sun are only 4.5 billion years old, and resulted from interstellar collisions within our galaxy, the Milky Way, which for hundreds of billions of years had already been floating around in the eternal and infinite space of the universe, having been formed from ancient intergalactic aggregations.

    Sadly so, even Albert Einstein believed in some kind of god, so he decided to concoct the absurd “relativity theory”, which indirectly states that all is relative and that only his god javeh is absolute.

    However, even Einstein’s concepts of absolute god and absolute truth are false fabrications. Truth is relative, and the only absolute concepts are the concept of the empty space of the universe, endless, equal, and even, and the concept of the passage of time, endless, equal, and even.

    In empty space, stars, planets, and galaxies move at random through time in an endless sequence of collisions and ellipses, pushed and pulled by gravitational, electromagnetic, and radiation forces.

    That’s all there is, empty space and endless time, with no gods, no big bang, no relativity, no curvature, no expansion, just billions of stars in billions of galaxies, all rotating and colliding at random, like dust particles in an empty room.

    We happen to have evolved on one of the planets of one of the stars of one of the galaxies because the temperature resulting from the distance of Earth from the Sun allowed our kind of biological life to gradually evolve from ammonia and heat, via electrical charges and chemical components, into magneto-bacteria and gradually into more complex species.

    But do not keep being fooled by Wikipedia’s false theory of the “big bang”.

    Bishops, generals, and bankers need the “big bang” because they need a god in order to justify their ill-gotten privileges, their power, and their oppression.

    (PS: Social network and virtual community operating via my space, facebook, blogging, e-mail, texting, or twitter are over-emotional and irrational. Nothing gets accomplished, no new ideas emerge, it is all about keeping contact with people that you fundamentally do not care about, just to get the excitement of the shallow gossip, and the empty sensationalism about things that are far from being sensational. Daily banal squalid trite stuff, like new hair color, rented a jet-ski, ran out of gas, speeding ticket, who cares, so big what, insipid and irrelevant. Ed)
