Based on an intricate correlation of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean histories and Holy writ, it was incorporated into an authorized version of the Bible printed in 1701, and thus came to be regarded with almost as much unquestioning reverence as the Bible itself. Having established the first day of creation as Sunday 23 October 4004 BC, by the arguments set forth in the passage below, Ussher calculated the dates of other biblical events, concluding, for example, that Adam and Eve were driven from Paradise on Monday 10 November 4004 BC, and that the ark touched down on Mt Ararat on 5 May 2348 BC `on a Wednesday'.

Ah - there's the CH connection - the world was created on 23 October - Founder's Day!!!!

Archbishop Ussher worked out from the ages of the prophets when the earth was founded, Freemasons believe in the creation story. Freemasons went to CH, so they are connected with Bishop Ussher of Armagh and his beliefs.

Noah is the father of Freemasonry, and his son Chem is the father of AlCHEMy which was the building block of CHEMistry!

Freemasons think you can turn lead into gold.

I belive Chem's half brother Al formulated the start of Algebra.

I never liked that 'Love The Brotherhood' bit.

On reflection, it's all a bit shoddy - fearing God seems a bit fire and brimstone, and I'll leave it to someone else to honour the King. Perhaps it's time for a new motto?

Dr Dee and Edward Kelly

Freemasonry may have got a hold at Christ's Hospital because a Dr John Dee came back from studying Alchymy, Astrology and and Magic at the University of Louvain, he had to go there because he was run out of Cambridge. He returned to England in 1551, and was introduced to Edward V1 by Sir John Cheek. Edward V1 gave Dee a pension of 100 Guineas, nobody knows what for. he continued in London as an astrologer, telling fortunes, and pointing out lucky and unlucky days. Edward V1 left the crown to Lady Jane Gray, who in turn got thrown out by Queen Mary. Dee was long suspected of heresy, and threatening Mary's life by means of enchantment. Dee was placed in the Tower of London, and Bishop Bonner was minded to burn Dee at Smithfield. Dee talked his way out and was released in 1555. Queen Elizabeth is said to have consulted him about the time of Mary's death. Could it be that Dee on the instructions of Edward V1 did indeed put the 'fluence on Mary, which is the reason why he was so well paid, and that CH was established as some sort of Masonic Madrassa? Elizabeth was very keen to turn stuff into gold, because she was skint. So John Dee was the equivalent of the Chief Scientific Officer looking for means of turning out gold, these days he would be working at a nuclear power station trying to crack fusion.

Quite right, da Vinci's inventions often failed simply because the right materials were not yet available.

Even in John Dee and Elizabeth I's day hydrogen was being trans-substantiated into helium and uranium was being trans-substantiated into other elements such as plutonium and lead; he simply didn't know and certainly did not have the ability to design, build and run a nuclear facility.

Quite irrelevant to this. My wife had to have radio isotope investigations; as the isotope trans-substantiated into something different she set off all the shop burglar alarms and we are told that airport security would have gone berserk when they couldn't find the cause.

My Gawd !!

Your twos memory absolutely astounds me !

And I thought I was gettiong on !!

I am helping victims of Muslim grooming gangs. It seems the police are completely uninterested in prosecuting and one woman in particular has to see her abusers daily in her town which is now a Muslim haven. She needs to be relocated away from the area and I remember old blues who rented flats cheaply through masons post CH. If anyone reads this and is able to help initially to relocate her and her two kids that would be amazing. Ultimately I want to campaign to deport such gang members and to raise funds for a safe house for further victims, Please help if you can - pm me.

Welcome to the forum Martha, and well done you for your good work.

The grooming of white girls by Muslims is disgusting and as an 'ex-plod', I just wish the police would take the matter much more seriously rather than just worrying about the force being called a racist organisation !
