Lessons From The Wild

For the last week or so, I’ve had the good fortune to be out in the jungles and savannah brush of southern Africa. If you look up “the middle of nowhere” in Google maps, you’ll probably find where I’ve been. In fact, when I took a small plane from Botswana’s Okavango Delta yesterday, we flew for 124 minutes before I saw so much as a paved road.

Here in the birthplace of life itself, you can learn a great deal about humankind by watching animals in the wild. Nature is full of lessons about from whence we came, and to where we are going.

This trip has provided unbelievable opportunity for me to reinforce many of these lessons, and I’d like to share a few with you.

First, and most importantly, is the indomitable rise of humankind. It goes without saying that we are the most advanced, adaptable species on the planet. Humans stood up millions of years ago to defy harsh elements and even harsher predators.

Our prehistoric ancestors learned to talk. To write.  To heal. To cultivate. To build vast civilizations. Devoid of any natural defense mechanisms, offensive capabilities, or significant size, strength or speed, human beings conquered the world against all odds on sheer ingenuity.

    Its true. I tried posting the title and author exclusively by itself on many other comment boards and it will not post. WHY???

  2. This is a (behold) test to see (a) if one can (pale) really post this (horse), title and (william) its author (cooper) because when I tried it with title and author exclusively it did not post.

    Very interesting.

  3. Anyone ever seen “Man vs. Wild,” “Survivor Man,” “Dual Survival,” or “Man, Woman, Wild?” Get ready, you’ll be doing it in the future!!!

  4. My computder freak out it wont let me comment weird

  5. Our society is definitely collapsing, physically and economically.
    We are heading back to a more simpler times like the jungles of Africa

    7 PROVEN FACTS THAT THE WORLD IS HEADED FOR AN ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE IN 2012

  6. So you believe that Infowars is pro free speech? Try post either the name of the following man or his book on here and watch your comment not get posted.This man had a radio show and was AJs rival before he was murdered by the the authorities on 11/6/01 for predicting 9/11 before it actually happened.Because his name and book are encrypted key words on this site,they won’t allow you to post them.A few hours ago I figured out how to post them by splitting 2 names into 3.A couple of hours later I went back to check for relplies and both comments had been removed from the site.This is hypocrisy at it’s finest,especially since their is a story about google doing this on this very site today. here are the key words spelled backwards(the only way I can post them successfully)…The Man’s name is “repooC mailliW” and his book is titled “esroH elaP A dloheB” Try it for yourself and let me know if it’s just my PC.

  7. WHAT A CROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I THOUGHT THE BEATLES CAME FROM ENGLAND! LOL

  8. On October the first, we have 9 months left before Lucifer and the fallen angels are thrown down to earth. 9 is the number of Lucifer. In the Bible it says that it is through numbers we can know the account. Anyone who wants to be wise in this world has to count the numbers. Wisdom comes through counting and Solomon knew it well. The 9 comes up again after the 42 weeks from September 1 is completed, reaching July 1. Now that is no coincidence. God bless!

    The moon cult and the sun cult are allies and just 2 aspects of the same Satanic Movement. A movement that consists of 1 billion 450 million individuals around the world that make up mankind. A different kind of man then the man that God made! They make up the Satanic Movement and it is they who are bringing down the economy by means of black magic.

    t is the moon cult that shows the satanic “V” victory signs on the news most every day. It is from that cult the Antichrist comes, and the esoteric significance of the moon landing was a message to the entire Satanic Movement across the world, that they now embarked on the last preparations. The 42 days, 42 months, 42 years, and 42 weeks I just showed you, are all in reference to the 4200 years that have passed since the fall of the Tower of Babel!

    That initiated the last 42 weeks of preparation for the arrival of the Antichrist. After the 42 weeks we have 9 (the number of Lucifer) days left before July 1. That is the day when the fallen angels will be thrown down to earth and a key will be given to the bottomless pit. 3 (the number of the man of perdition/sin/Antichrist) days later on July 4, 2012 the Antichrist will start his 42 months on earth. Man will then no longer have dominion over beasts…

    July 21, 1969 the moon landing took place. 42 days later, on September 1, Kadaffi came into power in Libya. He held power 42 years. On December 14, 1972 the final moon landing took place. That was after 42 commenced months had ended since the first landing. On September 1, 2011 when Kadaffi had left power a big meeting was held in the heart of the Devil, Paris.

    • So July 4th 2012 the wild beasts of the earth take over, sweet I can’t wait. The satanists will be eaten by the polar bears. That was in second astonishments chapter 6 verse 4. Then the green little men land in the next chapter. Jesus Christ returns as an Elvis Impersonator.

    • Oh my God lol. I can’t stop laughing “They make up the Satanic Movement and it is they who are bringing down the economy by means of black magic.”

      You should be a comedian.

    • Wow wildman, when you actually believe in these christian fables of christ and devils, you can spin any comic book plot it seems, its endless what silliness you guys devise.

      so the number 42 is now the bad number…mmmmm, ok. That’s a new one.

      I guess mariano rivera is the antichrist right?

      He is the last player to ever have the number 42, even though it is retired.

      He is old but still the best closer (magick?)

      He is from panama, which has 42 people named wilbert.

      He is awesome.

      Man, spooky!

  9. Here in the birthplace of life itself, you can learn a great deal about humankind by watching animals in the wild.

    Umm…Bullshit! The latest DNA data suggests that life originated in the far east. In a few more decades the “scientists” will say life started in South America, then Europe. I don’t have any fancy degrees but I’d put my money on the Middle East, specifically Babylon or thereabouts. The Bible has been extremely accurate and cannot be beaten for its historicity. It is the most accurate document we have from antiquity. Nothing even comes remotely close.

    • Norse mytholgy trumps the bible. God cannot deliver the thunder like Thor. I guess Christians are going to learn the hard way. Thor will take on all challengers who have caused suffering throughout this world. Who is caring for all the orphans of this world? Thor. What has god done for this world? He’s caused massive suffering throughout the world and blamed everyone else for his own actions.

      • lol. you don’t think God can bring the THUNDER? oh he’s bringing it.

        “His countenance was like lightning,”

        “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;”

        “His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.”

        “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”

        OT same thing:

        “But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.”

        “I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.”

        and we get to help, if we rejoice in the Most High, and NOT man’s incompetence and inability to anything whatsoever.

        “I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.”

        • Continue to use your book of fiction as the word of god. Every time Christians defer to a higher power, they are giving their power away. It’s not like they ever had power in the first place. At what point are Christians going to admit they were completely wrong? My guess is never. I think Christians and their god only know one way, that way is heading straight to hell.

        • no we don’t have power. that’s probably a good thing too, seeing as it would not be wielded in the proper manner. “without me, ye can do nothing.” we can be wrong. God isn’t.

        • God cannot handle the fact that this world never needed him. He’s the devil. He is responsible for all the suffering of this earth. He is not above judgment.

        • Yes hans, yes! Finally somebody gets it!

          Listen you moron christians, the grand deception you are scared of is already upon you!

          The deception s that ‘god’, or more accurately, THE LORD, is actually the bad guy! He is your devil!

          Did you really think they would guarantee people being decieved but a billion of you would not be? Lol!

          Enlil hates us. He is the lord.

          Enki loved (es) us, but he is being called the devil.

          Most christians don’t even know these names, that’s how bad and deep the deception goes.

        • God can handle anything that humans and their demon gods throw at him.

          “All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.”

          “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

          oh yeah someone gets it. ridiculous gnosticism, appealing to pagan trinities, ninlil enlil. enki is the serpent, enki is capricorn and the underworld. enki is saturn. keep calling good evil.

          “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

          He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

          Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

          Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

          Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

          Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

          can’t wait for the inheritance. may it be boundless, and undeterred by the likes of you heretics.

    • probably the mid-east. mesopotamia, northeast africa, fertile crescent region. yes it is the most accurate. the entire history of the world from babylon to rome was prophesied in advance in the book of daniel. same with the other prophesies of the messiah (and the end times). dead sea scrolls prove they were written before, and that the masoretic texts are accurate. so much for the “bible has errors.”

    • The Bible says life began with a word, which became flesh, died so that we would have a chance at eternal life, reconstructed itself after three days and now will be living with us till the end of time. Historically speaking that goes from big bang to big crunch. Are we there yet?

    • we’re gettin there.

  10. he doesn’t say anything. he makes some obvious statements of calamity, but just speculates about them. he cites “overpopulation” as a reason, then he says the renaissance is good, and humanity “flourished.” and survival of the fittest, natural selection.

    “you’re either one of those who adapts, or you’re one of those who will perish. It’s that easy. Nature doesn’t play favorites, it simply separates those who are unprepared from the rest of the ecosystem.”

    try navigating that delta without a plane. itd take a lot more than 124 minutes. we can’t possibly prepare. any situation. that is why it says “he who seeks to save his life will lose it.” because mankind is going to be confounded. you start going without food and water, you’re done. that’s it, you will not have enough strength to do anything. “The face of human civilization is transforming,” where have i heard that before? “nobody knows what’s going to happen in the coming years with any certainty.” yes we do. lean not on your own understanding, because it is limited and fails. trust in the Lord and he will direct your paths.

  11. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this after all I know how insecure, jealous and angry God gets. Here is what I do not get about you guy’s on here espousing religion. You are angry about the dictatorial policy of the Elites, who use torture which you are against and yet you worship a dictatorial God who tortures as cited multiple time in the old testament and in the idea of eternal hell. Who created all this in the first place according to Christian? … God did. Knowing everything means that God would know the outcome of his creation plan, thus making God the most evil MONSTER. even if “HE didn’t know this would happen, why would this great intelligence called “God create this possibility for the fall by putting the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden?

    Wake up the matrix of perception has you Christians! You are in a cult. a box, you are indoctrinated. I’m only trying to help. You will of course see me as deceived or an instrument of the devil, no doubt. I was once under the spell of Christianity too.

    • Maybe you should educate yourself on the subject before spouting off a bunch parroted crap that isn’t accurate or true? And we’re not spouting “religion”, we’re talking about human history guided by the Creator. How can a child comprehend the wisdom of his Father? Does a good Father punish His children or does He allow them to perish due to their own foolishness? If there is indeed a Creator and He has given us the ability make up our own minds, i.e., whether or not to live with Him in paradise for eternity or not, then is the momentary suffering we experience really that big of a deal? Death is just an illusion. And by the way, there is no eternal hell for mankind. If you had payed more attention when reading your Bible when you were a Christian you’d know that eternal suffering is reserved for the fallen messengers.

      • Those fallen messengers are Christians. They lack self awareness and are completely oblivious to their false god. How are Christians going to counter Thor god of the peasants and his father Odin? Christians are looking for a home. For some, their home is in hell. To save your soul, I would start by burning my bible. The powers that be who rule over this world truly wanted to destroy this earth and all its inhabitants. God wants to take credit for any good and no personal responsibility for all the bad he created.

        There is one mortal who’s power is greater than the immortals. Raised by the Greek goddesses of this world. In the end, it will be Christians and Jews blamed for the failure of the world. Their book is truly the devils handbook. Behind every man is a woman. The bible tells us that god created a woman from his rib. In the end, the truth will be self evident. He survived the game that should never have happened. In the end, Christianity will get nothing for making Jesus suffer for their sins. You get what you give. Jesus was always intended to be the suffering man. The best souls of this world have already lived and died.

        • Christianity Implies Christ as the central theme, Jesusanity would be different surely or does the bible need two names for the same being? If there was no difference and how do those who lived BC get saved since they`re not in a position to say I believe and am saved. Something lost or gained in translation. What if religion was a matter for individual choice, in freedom. How would that work?

      • no, hell was prepared for the fallen angels, but “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand(goats), Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:”

        • Those preparing for the fallen angels will soon find that is their real home as well. Christians who cast out demons and devils will soon find that they are what they feared most. Christians lack a fundamental understanding of the human condition. The bible does not allow for it, they are taught to be subservient and obedient. This traps them in hell with god the almighty father. He is preparing his home for him and his flock. His son Christ will be there seated at the right hand of his father.

  12. Silly Christians. It would tickle me if it wasn’t soo detrimental. You guy’s and your cults rarely question your own reality outside the box of your own perception. Might I recommend Vilayanur Subramanian “Rama” Ramachandran (born 1951) is a neuroscientist known for his work in the fields of behavioral neurology and visual psychophysics. He is the Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition,[1][2][3] and is currently a Professor in the Department of Psychology[4] and the Neurosciences Graduate Program[5] at the University of California, San Diego.

    Learn some psychology and how the brain can fall victim to all sorts of beliefs. Learn how the mind can create all sorts of phenomenon including healing through sense memory perception.

    If there were this God of eternal truths, it would not be this MONSTER as portrayed in the Bible.

    • The “monster” is in the mirror. All you have to do is look at the results of following a particular teaching. If your “faith” has not changed your life for the better, then neither has it saved your soul. Silly psychologists.

  13. He made no correlation between the African jungle and economic collapse. It was a ruse to start a fight. pfft

  14. humans stood up millions of years ago

    funny jesus only filled the earth six thousand years ago

    • People can argue millions of years in the hereafter. We’d better make peace with our Creator through Jesus – NOW. Once life is over, there is no second chance. “For it is appointed unto man once to die; and after this, the judgment.”

      • You are an animal,you are a Human animal,no different than any other animal that walks this earth(only difference is,you percieve your experiences differently),wich all comes from space dust.
        Earth is a magnet,it collects dust every nano-second and so new life forms while you dish out your religious crap onto another..Your faith in god is without proof he exists..Faith…is *the belief in the absence of truth*…
        jesus no longer lives but your family does,your neighbor does and your friends also. Running to your petty little god instead of someone close to you in real life NOW(because there is only now) goes against your judgement,your selfish little self wich is called objectivism..meaning you can’t think for yourself.
        Life is a constant battle with all its intricacies,agonies and confusions that we have devorced death with living..Guess what? both go hand in hand,life does not exists without death.It is our destiny,yet most are afraid because of your religious crap,telling them to be good or you’ll go to hell..
        well death is nothing to be afraid of because once you realise that now is whats important, death become rather meangless if your happy NOW.
        *In order for one to love,one must die to know what love realy is* is this you?
        Thats not in the bible i assure you because I have never read it nor would I ever ever take anyones word or book wich is someones word for anything without going into objectively and knowing for myself..andso your not to take my word for it either..so do some real research about yourself because knowone else will…NOT EVEN GOD good luck on that,you’ll be waiting until your death.By then it does not matter because you have no idea what it means NOW!

        • BTW its the same everywhere,Asia,Europe,Russia,India,China and N America…all run to their petty little gods wen things don’t go right…if you know deep down within yourself that these nations all feel the same inwardly with the brutality,anxieties,wars,dispair and lonelyness as you,then you are responsible…

  15. Old Jap proverb: “Even monkeys fall from trees!!!” …and Holler monkeys throw shiite at you!!! Y’all have a goodin’!!!

    “All ‘HAIL’ Thermal Expansion!!!”

    HillbillyJihad TheBubbaLiberationFront

  16. Ingenuity really has little to do with it, it’s the loving attractive and creative kindness that is the sign of Our One True Parentage in us.

    • PS: Liberty (freedom) is unity in loving kindness.

      • Don’t depend on sinful humanity to exhibit lovingkindness. That only comes through agreement in the Holy Spirit, which comes from genuine belief in Jesus. It is impossible the way the world is, to have unity. I can’t see a muslim who wants to kill me based on my rejection of his “religion” having unity with Jesus, who says peacefully “come join my kingdom.” And that’s only ONE paradigm. How can truth have fellowship with lies – or how can Jesus have fellowship with satan?

  17. watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM Battle at Kruger, amazing

    • LETS TAKE ON THE LIONS!

      • OCTOBER 2011 VERY IMPORTANT
        PLEASE READ :: WE ARE AT CRITICAL JUNCTURE

        We are going to release our first politician to run against the 7th District of Congress in AZ – BUT WE CAN ONLY DO IT IF YOU WORK WITH US.

        Ron Paul did a brilliant political move when asked about who he would make V.P.

        By stating he is in 3rd Place… it forces the system to pick 2 people he can CONCENTRATE ON. As we know they have many candidates to play with. It also forces the system to face their dwindling resources, further engaging the American Public to get active.

        We are tribal and competitive. By placing himself at the “third position” in polls it will invoke Activism be on part of Paul followers who have been here the whole time and those that are new.

        WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO – LEADERS WILL RISE AND AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN.

        DO NOT GET MAD OR ANGRY – GET CREATIVE, FIND BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING, LOVE AND RECLAIM YOUR RIGHT AS A HUMAN BEING.

        Sincerely,
        The Organization

        • You just don’t get it, do you? We have been lied to for decades. We have been presented every voting juncture with several hand-picked “candidates”, all of the NWO’s choosing, while they sit back and laugh at our puny efforts to choose the lesser of two evils. RP speaks out against the NWO, and they allow him to continue to draw breath. Ask yourself why.

          Don’t get mad? Have you read the Georgia Guidestones? They want over 90% of the world’s population DEAD! The trouble is, everyone looking at this situation assumes he or she will be included in that 10%, which is sheer insanity. Ahhh, it’s getting more useless by the day to post here.

          Of course, there is beauty, one only has to look. Even this sin-cursed world is still beautiful, each beautiful thing is a fingerprint of God. There is an enemy, satan, whose only purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. He spreads deception – he can do nothing else, as do all his followers. If there is any “waking up” to do, it needs to be that this earth is headed for destruction. We don’t know when we will breathe our last, and we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. Take God’s way, while there is still time. Because time is quickly running out.

        • God’s has a serious problem, he’s the devil and he cannot face him own righteous reflection. Christians are a pagan religion just like every other religion. They’re probably the worst because they say their way is the only way. After all, it’s gods way. Look at what gods way has done to this world since the bible was written. Gods chosen people are truly evil.

        • “The fool (Hans) has said in his heart; no God.” I’m truly sorry for you.

    • God bless and Love, Always to you everyone here.

      • God bless you too, nice channel.

  19. Its a dog eat dog world! Get used to it!

  20. “Here in the birthplace of life itself, you can learn a great deal about humankind by watching animals in the wild. Nature is full of lessons about from whence we came, and to where we are going.”

    Yes, like even gorillas adhere to a moral code. Duuhhh…. Notice, too, that they don’t wear suits.

  21. I found no substance in this article.

    • Same here.

      • I third it.

        • No substance, and a jaguar pouncing on a tapir? In Africa?

    • Why would any human want to conquer the exotic animals of this world? Animals were part of Noah and Odin’s family. The big cats of Africa have been horribly abused by man. Hunting elephants and tigers is like killing a dolphin. It’s punishable by death. Steve Irwin and Roy Horn showed us humans two living humans who cared for animals in modern times.

  22. The author ask what are we doing to change things for the better in our community. It saddens me that so many of our our young talent chooses to live outside the borders of the U.S. I can understand their frustration. I only hope that someday they will return with the wisdom and skills they have acquired and help rebuild the U.S. There is something about this country that always pulls one home again. For those of us who are staying, do someting concrete and quit wasting time bickering over abstractions that do not translate into productive improvement. It will be the second American reconstruction of a new and improved model.

  23. When I look at the world see HOW DESTRUCTIVE “THESE CIVILIZATIONS ARE FROM” I question why didn’t The Almighty God, save everything but, THESE CIVILIZATIONS! THEY ARE NOT CIVILIZED AND HE RECOGNIZED THAT, WHEN WHE REFERS TO THEM AS BEAST, WILD ANIMALS AND SICKENING CREATURES!

    I believe, that is what he should do today. “Bring to ruin ALL those ruining the earth!!!

    There was nothing wrong with his creation, until he put a brain in their numb skulls!

  24. The ghetto has taught me most of what I need to know about economic collapse. Which is to say, when people get desperate, most of them don’t value anyone’s life but their own.

    • Agreed. That is how animals act. I prefer to believe I am created in God’s image. Therefore I am not a mere “animal”. If anyone else chooses to think they are, don’t make me a part of the problem!

  25. Typical Christian responses down below of sticking your fingers in your ears and humming.

    Don’t worry, keep reading that Scofield Bible or King James Version because it has the twoof.

    • Agreed. The pages in my Bible that I won in a third grade spelling bee are virtually falling out. I see the Bible as an astounding book of probable History really common sense lessons. I have been turned off in general with “organized religion”..in actuality the majority of them don’t even practice the 10 commandments..not suggestions! .. those are a good thing .. flat out. I really have a negative feeling when I see post after post of self-proclaimed religious people.

  26. I tried to pic read whole story, but it went to some separate blog. But just commenting on some of the last paragraph displayed on the site. He should have witnessed the devastation to the natural balance of nature there. By Humans out of control exponential birth rate. The Human indeed had the intelligence to overcome the natural forces that kept his population in check, ie; cultivation, building cities, medical advances, etc. But the Human needs to be equally or more intelligent so he she needs to control themselves so the really beautiful areas animals will remain. If not the out of control exponential birth rate IS highly destructive. THAT IS A FACT. To deny what you see with your own eyeballs IS insanity, for sure.

    • Puh-leez. You’ve fallen for the most pervasive lie the NWO has in their arsenal. I can’t believe you’re caught in their eugenicist philosophy.

      If technology were allowed to be used for the good of humankind instead of their destruction, this planet could support twice the number of people now living, all in relative comfort. Didn’t you read the first part of the article? They flew for 124 minutes without seeing so much as a paved road. Get your head out of your butt.

      • Typical adolescent emotional name calling. To use a portion of your words Pull YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT open your eyes and think about maybe exchanging meaningful reasoning in your response .. other wise shut the F**K UP.. Child.

        • And your commen “other wise shut the F**K UP.. Child.”, is what, exactly? The pot calling the kettle black? Give it up already if you can’t do better than that. You call that exchanging meaningful reasoning? LOL

  28. If anyone thinks I’ve been a little harsh here please forgive me as Jesus is perfect! I’m not yet nor ever will be without Christ possessing me or you! He’s perfect right?

    So, receive Jesus’ Word into your heart by reading studying His thoughts!

    Copy Him now make it before Him without blame or besmirched by man or the enemy whose coming soon to test your faith!

    If you have no faith in Jesus … You will fall for anything! –Even Satan whom you may hate but don’t know Jesus who protects you from the Devil miraculously!

    Without Jesus you’re already dead!

    Jesus already defeated Satan in battle 2000 years ago!

    Go for Him now! Fight! Click my name and see issue guide! Believe!

    • It is funny how you say “If you have no faith in Jesus … You will fall for anything!” When in all actuality you have fallen for religion and a Bible full of absurdities. You have fallen for the story of the Ark to mention but one absurdity out of many within this Book of fables “Lies”. Do the math from an unbiased perspective (Calculate the ark’s numbers) and test if the Bible is indeed the truth or if it is all in YOUR perception, perception can be convincing, people of many differing faiths believe without a question they’re own faiths, they also can’t be shaken, ask yourself why they believe soo strongly, I doubt you will, because most people of faith like true discernment within logical pursuit. Watch; “Why I am no longer a Christian” and “Noah’s Ark, God, Giraffes Genocide” on YouTube. If you really do have wisdom, discernment, you will realize that you yourself have been deceived, brainwashed, and indoctrinated by religion.

      • It is funny how you say, “you have fallen for religion and a Bible full of absurdities”, because your claims are deceptions and a passing fad.

        The Truth is forever. There is no conflict between the Truth and Christ.

        • “The Truth is forever”. I agree. May I add to that, “Perception is forever”? You have just added weight to my point in spewing rhetoric. rhet·o·ricNoun/ˈretərik/
          1. The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing.
          2. Language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.

          your reply was not a logical reply. Do you want to convince me? According to your belief I could be tormented for all eternity. You will only convince me with a convincing logical comeback.

        • The Bible is full of many fascinating tales – many good, and some bizarre – here are the top 10 bizarre tales from the Bible.

          10. A lesson for those who dare mock male pattern baldness

          Found in: 4 Kings 2:23-24

          One of the more inspirational passages in the Bible tells the story of Elijah, a wise man, yet one cursed with male pattern baldness. One day he was minding his own business, making the long walk to Bethel, when he is attacked by a roving band of children who tease him with names like “bald head.” But Elijah was having none of this, he turns round and curses them in the name of the Lord, and instantly two female bears emerge from a nearby wood and maul all 42 children to death.

          The moral of this story? Don’t make fun of bald people. Frankly, why this story isn’t included along with the Ten Commandments is anybody’s guess, but I think it would serve as an excellent lesson for children who think baldness is something to be made fun of.

          9. Eglon’s ignoble death

          Found in: Judges 3:21-25

          Ehud is the Bible’s sneakiest assassin (and also the only left-handed person mentioned in the Holy Book). He is on a mission to deliver a “message from God” to smarmy King Eglon. Ehud waltzes in to meet the gluttonous king, pulls out a sword and stabs Eglon in the stomach. At first he can’t get it in, but he pushes harder and eventually reaches his intestine. Eglon is so overweight, we learn, that his fat actually covers the hilt of the sword, pushing it further into his stomach until it’s not even visible. It’s at this point that Eglon loses control of his bowels and begins to defecate mercilessly all over his chamber. The King’s attendants eventually come back, but do not enter Eglon’s bed chamber, assuming he is relieving himself. After waiting “to the point of embarrassment”, his attendants burst in to find their king dead on the floor, covered in his own faecal matter. Meanwhile, Ehud had escaped to the town of Seriah.

          The moral of this story? Who cares, but it’s damn cool.

          8. Onan – cautious, yet foolish

          Found in: Genesis 38:8-10

          A story so eponymous, it gave way to its own neologism – onanism, an archaic term for masturbation. Basically, God kills Er. Why? We don’t really find out. However, in a stroke of good luck, Er’s father, Judah, has given you the right, nay the duty, to have sex with your dead brother’s wife. Onan is a bit apprehensive at first, but agrees to go through with this bizarre scheme to create a ‘true heir’ to Er. He begins to have sex with the girl, but at the last minute decides to pull out and spill “his seed upon the ground.” God is so irked he decides to kill Onan too, and thus nobody gets an heir. This story is the basis for the Christian condemnation of masturbation and birth control.

          The moral of this story? In the words of Monty Python, “Every sperm is sacred…”

          7. A very disturbing tale

          Found in: Judges 19:22-30

          Within the Bible, one occasionally finds stories so horrible, one can wonder what their purpose is. Not only is this story utterly bizarre, but it is also absolutely disgusting. A man and his concubine are wandering the streets when they decide to seek shelter for the night, and find a man kind enough to let them stay. That night however, a group of men turn up at the door and demand to see the guest so that they may have sex with him. The owner is unwilling to let his male lodger be raped and so offers up his virgin daughter instead. However, this is still not good enough for the men, so the owner offers them his guest’s concubine and the men accept. The men brutally rape the woman and leave her on the doorstep where she bleeds to death. If that is not enough, when she is found by her husband, he chops her up into twelve pieces which he sends to each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

          The moral of this story? I would hope none.

          6. A novel way to show your love

          Found in: 1 Kings 18:25-27

          Before Byron, before Casanova, there was David. Young and in love, David desperately wants to marry Saul’s daughter Michal and offers Saul anything he wants to let him marry her. What could Saul possibly want? Money? A vow of love? No. Saul wants foreskins. 100 to be exact. Why? Who cares. If you want my daughter, you’re going to have to find 100 foreskins by tomorrow. David finds this odd, but then again this girl is hot, so he goes out and kills 200 men, and collects their foreskins. It’s only then he remembers that he only needs 100 foreskins. Oops. Oh well, maybe if he hands over twice as many foreskins, Saul will be doubly as impressed. Indeed he is and duly hands over his daughter to David.

          The moral of this story? Never be ashamed to do crazy things for love.

          5. Like slicing salami

          Found in: Exodus 4:24-26

          Continuing the Bible’s fascination with all things foreskin, we get the bizarre story of God trying to kill Moses because his son isn’t circumcised. God is about to obliterate Moses when his wife Zipporah takes out a flint and quickly cuts the foreskin of his son (ouch), throwing the bloody skin fragment at Moses’ feet. “You are a bloody husband to me!” squeals Zipporah, flint in one hand, child in other. God, clearly freaked out by this woman, backs off and Moses is saved.

          The moral of this story? Never turn down a woman for being a psycho. Someday she may save your life.

          4. Jesus and the fig tree

          Found in: Matthew 21:19; Mark 11:13-14

          So, Jesus is walking from Bethany and he’s feeling a bit peckish. He encounters a fig tree, but unfortunately it is barren as it’s the off season for figs. Annoyed, Jesus demands the fig tree bear him fruit, however the fig tree doesn’t respond (it’s a tree), so Jesus, in an act of uncharacteristic rashness, curses the fig tree to death. This story is bizarre for many reasons, but mainly for how little it means to the Jesus story and how Jesus seems to react so harshly. OK, so he’s hungry, and we all get a little cranky when hungry, but come on, the fig tree had done nothing wrong. This just seems like abuse of powers to me.

          The moral of this story? I honestly can’t think of one. This story seems so unimportant and purposeless yet both Mark and Matthew mention it so it must have some importance. The best I can think of is: don’t disobey Jesus, even if you’re an inanimate tree.

          3. Even God is proud of his backside

          Found in: Exodus 33:23

          It’s a big day for Moses. He’s finally going to meet God face to face and is giddy with anticipation. Soon the time comes and Moses positions himself on a rock ready to see the divine creator himself. But God backs out at the last minute claiming that no man can see his face and live. However, he has a solution. He will let Moses have a peek at his backside, “And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.” Moses must be heartbroken. He was hoping to see God’s face not his bottom! Imagine explaining that to the wife: “Oh honey, did you see God’s face?” “Umm not quite…I got a great look at his ass though!” Moses most likely slept alone that night.

          The moral of this story? God works in mysterious (and slightly gay) ways.

          2. Balaam and his talking donkey

          Found in: Numbers 22:28-30

          Balaam is just minding his own business, spanking his ass (donkey) when suddenly he hears a voice. It’s his donkey who is asking him why he is spanking him. Balaam doesn’t seem the least bit miffed that his donkey has starting talking in the same language as him and says, “Because thou hast mocked me.” The donkey then gets philosophical and explains the nature of their relationship and how his feelings have been hurt. Eventually they make peace. Oh yeah did I mention it was TALKING DONKEY?

          The moral of this story? Don’t beat animals. If they could talk then they would probably tell you how upset they were.

          1. Jacob and the case of the magical genetics

          Found in: Genesis 30:37-39

          And the most bizarre tale in the Bible goes too…this head-scratcher from Genesis, with its utterly bemusing explanation of the genetic code. Basically, Laban is taking all of Jacob’s beloved striped and spotted cattle. Jacob is left with boring old, plain-coloured cattle, which he doesn’t seem to like at all. So Jacob concocts a cunning plan: he gets some sticks and begins painting stripes on them. He then plants them next to his cattle. What Jacob thinks is that if he gets his cattle to look at the striped sticks while copulating, then they will give birth to striped young. Now, we’d all expect this idiotic plan to fail and Jacob to learn a lesson about something or other, but no it actually works. The cattle give birth to striped young, and Jacob is happy. What on earth is going on here? Anyone with the most basic understanding of genetics knows that this is bunk. The odd thing is that this story seems to have no purpose and moral – it’s just there. And I can’t help wondering how many scientists with painted sticks had attempted to repeat this process before Mendel came along and said, “I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s supposed to happen fellas, why don’t we try this instead?”

          The moral of this story? Your guess is as good as mine.

        • I don’t know what the hymees concocting the bible were smoking ,
          but if it was pot , I’d gladly try some !!!

          What’s this fixation on cutting off foreskins anyway ?!?

          A pecker needs a foreskin … that’s why it’s there !!!

          P.S. Like God screwed up , or somethin’ …

        • a bloody husband thou art!

          “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”

          ok, so it starts off with God instructing Moses. Israel is God’s son. If Pharaoh does not let God’s son go, then God will kill Pharaoh’s son.

          but then it says:

          “And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.”

          maybe it’s talking about Pharaoh…

          “Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.”

          no, it’s Moses, “cast it at HIS feet, and said, Surely a bloody HUSBAND.”

          “so HE (GOD) let HIM (MOSES) go,” referencing the first passage.

          i think it is because Moses didn’t want to obey God at first(in the context of the chpt) so thats why he was going to kill him.

          “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”

          “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”

          this was even prophesied in the OT

          “And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.”

          “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.”

          “Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.”

  29. I’m ashamed of you Alex letting this dribble make it’s way onto this forum that should have some sense of right wrong spiritually by now!

    If you need some centering here’s where you can discuss it with those who know or speak with Jesus Himself found at this prime location! Clic my name and see issue guide! –e

    • Watch; “Why I am no longer a Christian” and “Noah’s Ark, God, Giraffes Genocide” on YouTube. If you really do have wisdom, discernment, you will realize that you yourself have been deceived, brainwashed, and indoctrinated by religion.

      • There is a difference between “religion” and relationship. Relationship with God comes through a connection through Jesus Christ. It is real. “religion” is man’s attempt to get to God on man’s terms and is unacceptable to a holy God. If you want to reach God, you have to go to Him on HIS terms and NO OTHER WAY. That WAY is through believing in Jesus Christ, His power to forgive sinners (you too) and repenting of those sins. Don’t like it, tough. Take it up with God. Anyone who has ever become a genuine believer in Jesus Christ had to go that way. Millions have gone before you, but billions have rejected it. The the way is well known by genuine believers, but comparative to the worlds teeming masses, few actually choose it. The masses prefer the widely traveled road to destruction.

        • You don’t know shit about God , and next to nothing about Jesus !!!

          And nothing about Prabhupada !!!

        • You ultramaroon, you know even less.

          Go peddle your pbleljtoie somewhere else.

        • I know a lot more than your pea brain could fathom …

          It’s one thing to be ignorant , but to claim to know , on top of it ,
          is unbearable arrogance !!!

          P.S. Your self-righteous pricks !!!

        • “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” You have a black, demonic heart. Otherwise you would not be spouting such filth. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Jesus loves you. You ought to be able to spread that love instead of vomiting hatred all over your fellow infowarriors. There is a Creator God, His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. You are a nonbelieving hater of His followers and everyone here knows it. With friends like you, who needs enemies? Go join the NWO, you’ll be more than welcome there.

  30. I knew this guy was an idiotic evil_utionist when he compared humans made by God’s hand to subdue the earth have control of it to animals in the Jungle! The birthplace of humanity was somewhere in Iraq last time I checked for the Garden of Eden location!

    Sorry “bud” … You’re wrong about the millions of years as well! The earth, stars, birds animals humans were all created full in form on earth by God 6000 years ago!

    See Genesis 1-4 if you dare read it in the Holy Bible!

    • That’s 6000 years in this last earth age. That doesn’t count the first earth age. There’s
      alot that God didn’t tell us. But that doesn’t matter as far as salvation is concerned.
      Some people like to worry about those things but I don’t worry about it.
      Pastor Arnold Murray teachs about the different earth ages, but I could care less. All I
      need to know is that Christ died for me – that’s all I need to know.

      • There are answers we will have to wait for until we see God. But then again, answers will probably not even be necessary. We will know as we are known. I can’t wait!

    • Leet me guess. You get your science from Christian sources. The Bible debunks itself. See my previous post.

      • Science proves the Bible. You debunk yourself.

    • it’s imposible for humanity to be millions of years old.

      • All things are possible with God. There were no humans in the first earth age.

    • 6000 years ago ?!?

      You guys are so retarted , it boggles the mind !!!

      • The RATE Group Findings // Carbon 14

        In 1997 an eight-year research project was started to investigate the age of the earth. The group was called the RATE group (Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth). The team of scientists included:

        Larry Vardiman, PhD Atmospheric Science
        Russell Humphreys, PhD Physics
        Eugene Chaffin, PhD Physics
        John Baumgardner, PhD Geophysics
        Donald DeYoung, PhD Physics
        Steven Austin, PhD Geology
        Andrew Snelling, PhD Geology
        Steven Boyd, PhD Hebraic and Cognate Studies

        The objective was to gather data commonly ignored or censored by evolutionary standards of dating. The scientists reviewed the assumptions and procedures used in estimating the ages of rocks and fossils. The results of the carbon-14 dating demonstrated serious problems for long geologic ages. For example, a series of fossilized wood samples that conventionally have been dated according to their host strata to be from Tertiary to Permian (40-250 million years old) all yielded significant, detectable levels of carbon-14 that would conventionally equate to only 30,000-45,000 years “ages” for the original trees.8 Similarly, a survey of the conventional radiocarbon journals resulted in more than forty examples of supposedly ancient organic materials, including limestones, that contained carbon-14, as reported by leading laboratories.9

        Samples were then taken from ten different coal layers that, according to evolutionists, represent different time periods in the geologic column (Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic). The RATE group obtained these ten coal samples from the U.S. Department of Energy Coal Sample Bank, from samples collected from major coalfields across the United States. The chosen coal samples, which dated millions to hundreds of millions of years old based on standard evolution time estimates, all contained measurable amounts of 14C. In all cases, careful precautions were taken to eliminate any possibility of contamination from other sources. Samples, in all three “time periods”, displayed significant amounts of 14C. This is a significant discovery. Since the half-life of 14C is relatively short (5,730 years), there should be no detectable 14C left after about 100,000 years. The average 14C estimated age for all the layers from these three time periods was approximately 50,000 years. However, using a more realistic pre-Flood 14C /12C ratio reduces that age to about 5,000 years.
        Diamonds

        These results indicate that the entire geologic column is less than 100,000 years old—and could be much younger. This confirms the Bible and challenges the evolutionary idea of long geologic ages.

        Because the lifetime of C-14 is so brief, these AMS [Accelerator Mass Spectrometer] measurements pose an obvious challenge to the standard geological timescale that assigns millions to hundreds of millions of years to this part of the rock layer.10

        Another noteworthy observation from the RATE group was the amount of 14C found in diamonds. Secular scientists have estimated the ages of diamonds to be millions to billions of years old using other radiometric dating methods. These methods are also based on questionable assumptions and are discussed elsewhere11. Because of their hardness, diamonds (the hardest known substance) are extremely resistant to contamination through chemical exchange. Since diamonds are considered to be so old by evolutionary standards, finding any 14C in them would be strong support for a recent creation.

        The RATE group analyzed twelve diamond samples for possible carbon-14 content. Similar to the coal results, all twelve diamond samples contained detectable, but lower levels of 14C. These findings are powerful evidence that coal and diamonds cannot be the millions or billions of years old that evolutionists claim. Indeed, these RATE findings of detectable 14C in diamonds have been confirmed independently.12 Carbon-14 found in fossils at all layers of the geologic column, in coal and in diamonds, is evidence which confirms the biblical timescale of thousands of years and not billions.

        Because of C-14’s short half-life, such a finding would argue that carbon and probably the entire physical earth as well must have a recent origin.13

        Conclusion

        All radiometric dating methods are based on assumptions about events that happened in the past. If the assumptions are accepted as true (as is typically done in the evolutionary dating processes), results can be biased toward a desired age. In the reported ages given in textbooks and other journals, these evolutionary assumptions have not been questioned, while results inconsistent with long ages have been censored. When the assumptions were evaluated and shown faulty, the results supported the biblical account of a global Flood and young earth. Christians should not be afraid of radiometric dating methods. Carbon-14 dating is really the friend of Christians, and it supports a young earth.

        The RATE scientists are convinced that the popular idea attributed to geologist Charles Lyell from nearly two centuries ago, “The present is the key to the past,” is simply not valid for an earth history of millions or billions of years. An alternative interpretation of the carbon-14 data is that the earth experienced a global flood catastrophe which laid down most of the rock strata and fossils…. Whatever the source of the carbon-14, its presence in nearly every sample tested worldwide is a strong challenge to an ancient age. Carbon-14 data is now firmly on the side of the young-earth view of history.

        • Now here is some evidence you can check out for yourself. Do the numbers according to the Bibles account of the Ark and rationalize that one. Here is a good summery of the problems encountered; “Noah’s Ark-God, Giraffes Genocide”.

        • Trench,

          Your non-response to the scientific data Extrenix laid out is a testament to you bias towards the Bible and science. This is nothing new in the secular humanist group think club. We could go beyond Carbon 14 dating and get into Argon dating or any other dating method but the results are always the same. Evolutionists are dishonest and ignore hard science. They refuse to talk about Cosmic Evolution or any of the other types of “evolution” because common sense and tried and true scientific principles destroy their outdated theory. They now limit themselves to micro-evolution (which isn’t evolution at all and would more accurately be called adaptation) and ignore all of the many mistakes and debunked lies of the past 150 years.

          I would put much “faith” in your little Ark theory either. Again, in order to come to the conclusions made you have to make assumptions. Didn’t anyone tell you that science is not based on assumptions? There was plenty of space on the Ark for all of the animals mentioned.

One Response to “What The African Jungle Taught Me About Economic Collapse”

  1. Chase says:

    The Satanic Psychopaths are professional pirates and thieves. Stealing your money, whether through the private issuing of your currency, or through government confiscation, is what they are good at. In response to the numerous requests for a description of how I see things playing out, I submit the following:

    1. First comes the silver and gold COMEX price suppression. In spite-of diminishing inventories in both metals, futures contracts and put options will continue to be manufactured against the markets. The goal is to keep the sheeple away from anything with real value during the plundering process. This will create a very real shortage of silver and gold as smart investors buy the metals at a deep discount.

    2. The Stock Market Crash comes first. Trillions of wealth will transfer hands as shorts against the S&P and other Indexes will continue to escalate. Insurance companies, banks, Mutual Funds, ETFs and other institutional investors will dump their holdings on command. Stock prices will go down, while Index Options capture all of the transferred wealth.

    3. Near the end of the market collapse the Federal Reserve will begin a series of interest rate hikes to trash all existing debt with a fixed interest rate. This will decimate the bond market. By the way, you can also buy Short Options against bonds and Call Options on Interest rates. More wealth transferred from the poor suckers that actually trust these people!
