Predicting the end of the age of oil can be a sticky business. The Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (Aspo), a collection of industry figures, politicians and academics, this week held its annual meeting at the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.

From quiet beginnings three years ago, Aspo is no longer just "bubbling under" in being taken seriously. Delegates had to squeeze past no fewer than 10 documentary crews, a nest of television cameras and a phalanx of reporters just to grab their seat in the packed auditorium.

I don't have time right at this moment to recap the entire discussion that led up to me bringing up this verse, but the essence of the conversation was on whether god is a separate entity which is outside of time and creates the universe from the outside, or whether by inference being beyond time points to a single being which is the truth self of all beings. I don't really use the bible as a point of reference for my view of god, so my use of the bible is purely for pointing out the points in the bible that contradict the established assumptions that Christianity takes for granted. I used Psalms 82 verse 6 because it states something in clear language that most Christians would never believe could be found in the bible: The idea that there are other gods that are holy, and that we ourselves are actually gods but are unaware of the fact.

I will post the King James version of the verse here so that we can refer to it.

I have put a lot of work on the drum and base. More to come.
