The trailer -


The entire presentation -


I was going suggest these vids on Simon's 'Evolution vs God - REPLY' blog but thought the information merited a blog of it's own.

Accept it or not, it is well presented and lays out a comprehensive & far reaching alternative interpretation of what we see all around us...

* The Earth's core & mantle.
* The origin of Earth's radioactivity.
* Ocean sediments.
* Formation of the Grand Canyon & other surface features.
* Coal & fossils.
* Frozen, but unfossilized, Arctic mammoths.
* Distribution of craters on the moon.
* The origin of meteors, asteroids, comets & trans-Neptunian objects.
* Why it took many centuries and a variety of methods among many cultures to develop a 365 1/4 day calendar.
* More.

I'm not going to attempt to defend the theory's assertions point by point.
The presentation speaks for itself.

If you have an inquiring mind, and want to know - go ahead & have a look.

Yeah. It's long.
It's broken into six presentations - plus two special presentations on 'The Origin Of Earth's Radioactivity' and 'Origin Of Meteors, Asteroids, Comets & Trans-Neptunian Objects'.
Those interested can watch individual segments as time allows.

Enjoy!

Harvey producing over 4' of rain in places in Texas and now Irma sustaining 180 mile an hour winds with gust over 200 mph. Not to mention, warmer ocean waters.


What do you think? Is this proof of global warming?


Not to mention, the hurricane season is just starting.

Who hasn't heard it a million times? "Studies show"---global warming is real and man made. Children in homosexual unions are as normally adjusted as those in normal relationships with a real mom and dad. The stock market is economically efficient. Charter and private schools are much worse than government schools in educating our kids. There are no differences between the races in how successful cultures are. Illegal immigration is not a net drain on the economy. Lots more. Typically, these research results come from universities or "independent" research places. The staff there, typically, are overwhelmingly of liberal sentientalities. At every step of any research project, lots of judgement can enter in to bias the effort. At the idea stage, where hypotheses and theories are used to help decide whether an investigation makes sense. In obtaining funding and research staff. In gathering data, especially using questionnaires. In making adjustments to how research is conducted. You might think that statistical analysis of data would be above board, but even, perhaps especially here, political views can enter in. And, interpretation of results is just that---interpretation. Where to present and publish these bring about further possibilities for bias. All not to mention the biases these researches indoctrinate into their students while teaching, and while being interwiewed by, you guessed it, the alt-left biased media. Finally, who pays the piper still calls the tune. Of course, biases enter into science on all sides of the political spectrum. But only one side predominates in numbers, and has the media in its pockets. Aa.

joining family tomorrow on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park to enjoy this rare 2 minute astrophysical phenomenon. But I also marvel at the ability of so called primitive cultures to have predicted these events with accuracy. No chaos there. Aa.

Who believes there is other life in our universe?

I have not even given this a lot of thought and I do not even know if there is a point to this. I think perhaps it is just to stimulate possible postulating. I just started a new book and only on chapter one. It has to do with physics and its link to Eastern Mysticism. The little bit I have read has gotten me thinking a bit. I was fascinated to hear that mathematics is a language of nature, only thing with symbols. Also how our spoken language is only a guide of sorts to efficiently understand one another. It would take way to long to describe every aspect of a tree, or a person. Not to mention, it would be impossible...so we use tree or person to describe that object. This is all we are taught to care about and understand. But what is a person? ...or a tree for that matter. Both are made up of matter and both have this mysterious energy force connected to them.

Okay, this is just about as far as I got with my thinking...lol.

But,

I left the best for last. At least to me it is, there was a saying I read in the book.

"The map is not the territory."

It is like we are taught how to identify and read the map, but we never go seeking for the territory.




...thus, we are being dumbed down.

Anyone still have old photo's of themselves ? Or has the digital age ,my cloud etc removed the need for physical prints ...
We can now scan and store everything electronically.

So in 50 years
Money
Books
And much more will become obscure odities much like LP's
8 track tapes
And sending letters through the post...

What do remember from your youth that was cutting edge technology but is now gathering dust in a corner of your storage unit ?

Lol

That killer white pine, leaning toward some bedrooms, is now in burnable pieces. Got a fat insurance Co. check to replace the roof damage she, her branches and the ocean wind did. Before spliting large trunk pieces into morsels, it was surprising how many Mainers the "free wood" sign attracted. Put a "free" sign on a dead cat on the lawn here, and some bearded crusty north woods character will take it, feeling happy to be getting a deal. People said they used the stuff to make all sort of items..... bowls, spoons, lake dock walkover platforms, table legs, and so on. Burning the rest in the yard in controlled fashion, rather than pay to take it to the dump. Break from the usual summer coastal boat trip. Not the best wood for stoves. But how the mind wonders in the fire induced warmth, flickering consuming flames, and attendant near induced trance. As in driving long distances, where autopilot miles pass, without awareness of driving functions, tossing needed branch pieces into the flames just seems to happen, while the thoughts flow. How to rewrite the draft of memoirs, what has been my role in lifes's woes, plusses/minuses of a next partner, new riffs for another song. Or, are the numerical repetitions seen near universally when applying chaos theory to examine observations in everything from heart palpitations to weather more than mere quirks of math? Yikes! Aa.
