Newly discovered scientific proof validating the legends and myths of ancient floods, fires, and weather extremes

• Presents new scientific evidence revealing the cause of the end of the last ice age and the cycles of geological events and species extinctions that followed

• Connects physical data to the dramatic earth changes recounted in oral traditions around the world

• Describes the impending danger from a continuing cycle of catastrophes and extinctions

There are a number of puzzling mysteries in the history of Earth that have yet to be satisfactorily explained by mainstream science: the extinction of the dinosaurs, the vanishing of ancient Indian tribes, the formation of the mysterious Carolina Bays, the disappearance of the mammoths, the sudden ending of the last Ice Age, and the cause of huge underwater landslides that sent massive tsunamis racing across the oceans millennia ago. Eyewitness accounts of these events are chronicled in rich oral traditions handed down through generations of native peoples. The authors’ recent scientific discoveries link all these events to a single cause.

In The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes Richard Firestone, Allen West, and Simon Warwick-Smith present new scientific evidence about a series of prehistoric cosmic events that explains why the last Ice Age ended so abruptly. Their findings validate the ubiquitous legends and myths of floods, fires, and weather extremes passed down by our ancestors and show how these legendary events relate to each other. Their findings also support the idea that we are entering a thousand-year cycle of increasing danger and possibly a new cycle of extinctions.

I have a problem with logics in plate tectonics: If the crust once covered the whole Earth, where has it gone? Did it peel off into space? How can this be explained? All the continents would fit like a jigsaw puzzle on a smaller globe. How does that fit with plate tectonics? If you have a broken vase, throw away 3/4 of it and still you are able to put it together as a smaller vase, what does that prove? What is the mechanism that distributes these jigsaw pieces on the globe so that it is basically possible just to push them towards each other along fault lines to make them fit, if they never were together at the same time? Or has the continents shrunk? Why are the sea floors exactly the same age on both sides of the Atlantic? Why is the spreading accelerating? Subduction is not supported by observed data to the extent needed to explain geology. Subduction is used as an excuse because no other acceptable explanation is available. Take Antarctica; surrounded by a great rift zone. How could all that ocean floor have subducted inwards, towards Antarctica? Come on! What happens when you apply a force to all sides of a curve/round object? It stops! You can try it with an egg. That´s how they used to build stone bridges. So how does subduction happen? Explain please! (more...)

The fact that dinosaurs once lived and are now extinct is no proof of evolution. Such fossils merely show us that certain species once living were destroyed and became extinct. Theorists have been able to reach no general agreement on the cause or causes of extinction. The theories on this subject are numerous and sometimes very imaginative. Since most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and show signs of catastrophic burial, they seem to point to a global flood as the principal cause of extinction. They must have lived on earth at the same time, just as the Bible implies. If the flood-geology interpretation of geological strata is correct, all or most dinosaurs became extinct at the time of the flood. Until that time, then, man and dinosaurs lived on the earth at the same time. Is there any EVIDENCE outside of the Bible to support this view? Yes, there is. It is well known that along the Paluxy River in Texas many dinosaur footprints have been found in limestone strata classified as Cretaceous. Not so well known is the fact that for about fifty years human footprints have been reported in the same strata. Source: Footprints in Stone(color-sound film) But since the concept that man lived with dinosaurs is incompatible with the theory of evolution, many Scientists dismiss this documentary for the persuasive evidence unfolded.

"Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking non-sense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason?" St. Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis, translated and annotated by John Hammond Taylor, S.J., 2 vols. (New York: Newman Press, 1982). That's fine sunset, but it's not really relevant to the question. Well aside from me that is, Leslie D. Yeah well some of them starred the question but I for one haven't a problem with beliefs or faith when it doesn't get in the way of reason, peace or morality etc. I mean I'm not comfortable with it personally but I don't mind others practicing it if you know what I mean. I agree wholeheartedly with this quote though. I know so many great and moral people who are Christians and it's upsetting that their example to younger Christians is marred by ignorant people. It's interesting to note that if you read Genesis in Hebrew, it's perfectly obvious it wasn't written to be literal and nobody did for a long time. Young earth creationism only came about in the 1930s! Doubtlessly this could only occur once enough Christians were out of touch with the original meaning of their faith. Also, yes people haven't changed much. The televangelists and creationists of today are the equivalent of the pharisees and sadducees Jesus argued against in my opinion! Fran I agree with you but some beliefs are more dangerous than others and this demonstrably false belief in young earth creationism, which has become popular since its rise in the 1930s, is harmful to our education systems at the moment. Therefore while I will always have a disagreement with the belief in the Bible as the word of a god etc., I can agree to disagree on that point and try to encourage sense in this specific regard.

JUST IMAGINE CAN YOU ONE Sitting under an apple tree Throwing pebbles at sea, And when she makes me cry, She actually helps me and makes me try. When she curses you see, It is good,she actually nurses me, And when its all her perspiration, Friends, for me its only inspiration. Then I realise how we learn from human face, And know all about the human race, And when we know more and more, Humanity only, benefits ,all for sure. We are at answers of all Yahoo Q's, Each failure is like a step for me, And it helps me go up, step up the ladder, Then I come up with,if nothing else, Something you may call poetry,I confess. Alas its a Love game, this life, Full of curiousity and strife, Yet without the misery, There could be no comparitive story. So Logically, Between, Astrology, Biology, Pathology, Geology, Numerology, and what have you, Mythology. THE best outcome of all life is POETRY, Should we not,rename it as Poetology? OH MY LOVING GOD! TWO Intellectual are my generations'beings, Greatest curse on present day progeny, Officious,malicious and mercenary, Cruel,lascivious,a class of humanity. This planet they call, a global village Pray have some sense of privilege, And upon the pedestal of man's remains I say,do not make indellible domains, Of time and space,yet to traverse. Make not this planet an aliens'retreat, A symbol of monumental defeat. Our vision should not blind us, Our ego should not devour us, And leave our remains on a river bed, But make for us a heavenly pedestal, instead. Just Remember THREE Rememember that, me is, a girl in me; we cannot make up our mind, As hormones play havoc, When we're in the bind. We have to still show,love to u we owe, Or else you won't know,how our hearts' glow, When we're out and the world is ours, It is then our better half is yours. My love, my dear,at that blueish phase endure, My hand is still there,my touch is yours, Your smiles are my loving possession, Your presence is my very own passion. For ever for me a heart throb,for all years, I live with yee,remember this will thee. Priceless Treasure FOUR I am on the edge of the threshold ,with desire Where can we alone in this wilderness meet, As the air perfumes fill my nostrils with love, As if holding your hands in my dreams, A one time fantasy, a breath from yonder, I pick you up, up in the air, No one ever thought that such would happen, Until your hands,felt my hands, Desire spilled from my very being, Nothing remained but my moisty hands, As I smelt my palms,your face came up, From nowhere,as a spring of emotion rose At once I saw you in front of my eyes emerging, As if from no where,as you know It was then that Irealised, It was u,Dear ROSE. I AM FIVE Since I am the cynosure of your eyes, I am what for many a one cries, I am your hearts' throb, Your very very and very own breath , Your very blood and sweat, Your true and very much your vision, I am what you want me to be , A river,a stone, a monument, Or a real lover at sea. I am what I am as you already know, What else you want from me ? For I am what I am,as far as you And god, my love can see. Hope now you will my sole,'heart' Love, really and truly love me. Our Apple Tree SIX Long, long ago my friend did u know , The only tree that the we inherited was , An apple tree, as it did then,as it does now, Depicts fruitfullness and human seeds , That grow from generation to generation, And that message did we get and give, To generation after genaration, humanity, And today We are the products of that hidden secret , We call,u know what ever it be. Sitting beneath the apple tree, Einstein saw the world's most secret vision, A falling apple to the ground and later Scientifically, He created his theory of Relativity. As he enjoyed the sweetness of the breeze , Sitting under the Apple tree, He created a science, which today is knowledge, All just sitting below an apple tree.
