6 scientific enigmas.
<br><br> Interesting article addressing 6 scientific enigmas.<br><br> The first one ( regarding the great pyramids) - always brings a smile to my face when I consider the "official version" of both what the pyramids were ( if they were burial chambers, then why the hell are all them pharoahs buried in the valley of the kings ), and the "primitives" who built them <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> The second one is one in the eye for the Darwin admirers.kinda like a continuation of the I.D discussion.<br><br> The third one , regarding a 4500 year old city in Peru, constructed using high level skills and plumbing techniques, whilst the rest of civilisation were busy spearchucking and living in mud pits.<br><br> et cetera et cetera..<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Ancient_Civilisations_Six_Great_Enigmas.html">www.newdawnmagazine.com/A...igmas.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

dogs/wolves
I had a dog that was bought on an indian reservation -part malamute husky, part wolf. They often raise wolves, they take them when they are pups or abandoned. The writer doesn't take into consideration that any child coming across an abandoned, lone, or injured species will immediately pick it up take it home, and beg until mom and dad's ears are bleeding "can we keep it?" "PLEASE?"<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/science/nature/2498669.stm">news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/scie...498669.stm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br><br>This article mentions that 95% of all dogs originated from one of three females. <p></p><i></i>

More on the great Pyramid.
More of the mathematics, construction features and design of the great pyramid, including its incorporation of the constant of measurent of almost all in the universe ( pi ) ;<br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Subsequent scientific calculations confirmed that the Pyramid inch is a 500,000,000 part of the earth's Polar Diameter.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> ....snip....<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Scientific directed surveys have furnished the actual geometric measurements of the Pyramid. From these measurements calculated data has been obtained which reveal the Great Pyramid to constitute a geometric representation, on a vast scale, of mathematical and astronomical knowledge not to be known, again, for over 4500 years. The remarkable manner in which this knowledge is geometrically expressed, relative to certain simple mathematical formulae, surpasses in every way, any similar undertaking of man. <br><br>It is worthy of special note that the entire geometric structure of the Great Pyramid is designed on the basis of Pi - 3.14159 - the mathematical ratio upon which the whole physical universe is designed, (Archimedes 287-212 B.C., the Greek mathematician, never came closer than 3.142<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> and the value of "y" - 365.242 - the number of days in the earth's solar year (the time interval in days between two successive vernal equinoxes in the earth's journey around the sun). <br><br>In mathematics, Pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter (the straight line through its centre). That is to say, the circumference of any size circle is always 3.14159 +, times its diameter. This sign has been adopted because of the fact that the ratio in question has never been ascertained to its finality. It has, however, been calculated to an exceedingly high degree of precision, namely, to over 5,000 decimal places. <br><br>The amazing fact that this geometric ratio Pi, which pervades the whole universe, from the vast solar systems to the tiniest atoms, and is incorporated in the Great Pyramid, was first revealed by the angle of the slope of the Pyramid's sides. This angle results in the Pyramid's vertical height bearing the same ratio to the perimeter of its base that the radius of a circle bears to the circumference.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br> Not bad for a bunch of primitives. I.D anyone ?<br><br><br> Much more at ; <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Wonders%20of%20the%20Great%20Pyramid%20Revealed.html">www.newdawnmagazine.com/A...ealed.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Genetic modification
for the most part, is not necessary. We share 98% of the same DNA as the chimpanzee, the other two percent is responsible for upright walking, logic, bare skin, blue eyes, etc. The DNA of dogs to wolves is much closer, they are essentially the same species, as illustrated by the fact that they can be bred together. My DNA to yours is not going to be that far apart either. The DNA is not "modified", only individual, with the distinctions you would normally see in the transfer of generational information.<br><br>We breed horses similarly, the Morgan horse, for example, is unique to the United States. All Morgan's decend from one parent. Genetically, however it is not "modified", the outward traits are exposed, among individual Morgan's they have a commom ancestor, but have variations too. <br><br>New dog breeds are introduced regularly, a specific trait is exposed,(a mutation for example, longer ears) then must be maintained through several generations before it is call a new breed. Notice it is the exposure of a trait, not a rackup of genetics. While the trait would be one gene common to at least one of the original parents, and the successive generations, no "modification" occurs, only the passage of the gene that calls for longer ears. Eventually, the successive generations pass down that gene, along with many others, so that the outward expression becomes the standard for the new breed.<br><br>The same is true for human races. What we think of as race does not exist. You and I are as likely to share as much genetic material as any two people from anywhere in the world, irregardless of "race". The distinction of origin is that you can be traced back to your great, great, great grandparents, and I can be traced back to mine. But the proportion of genetic material between Asians, Blacks, Caucasions and Hispanics is the same, Blacks do not share a higher number of similar genes among other blacks, for example. Whites are not likely to have more "white" genes. However if tall, green eyed, people with dark skin became attracted to each other, and had a bunch of kids, then after several generations, became numerous in a region simply because green eyes, dark hair, and height were attractive, eventually they could be called a separate race, even though their genes would not appear much different from blue-eyed blond haired people. Physically separate the two, and see what happens.<br><br>This is an interesting article on breeding wolves, dogs, and hybrids. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.wolfpark.org/wolfdogs/Selection-jm.html">www.wolfpark.org/wolfdogs...on-jm.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Not bad for a bunch of primitives. I.D anyone ?"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Does that stand for Intelligent Design? I'm not sure what that has to do with it...<br><br>I don't think anyone has said the pyramids fell out of the sky or evolved from rocks. They were intelligently designed by the people who built them. <p></p><i></i>

Re: aliens
All of this sure supports my long-standing belief that Jesus was an alien! (Or at least some primitive-age peoples.)<br><br>The simple assumption that this planet was once a colony site explains not only these finds, but much of ancient mythology, Atlantis, and even modern 'reptilian' theories. All those Greek gods living on a mountain, interbreeding with the locals...<br>Imagine a modern basketball star, 300 years ago, with a laser pointer and a set of walkie-talkies. Oh the stories!<br><br>Heck the steam-powered children's toys from ancient Egypt all alone prove that advanced technology was wiped out during Earth history. Just how much else was lost is anybody's guess until we rediscover it. Like that article said, we wouldn't even imagine why those mica plates were in place if we didn't know about microwave shielding. <br><br>Although there's plenty of artifacts that are unusual, the lack of 'colonist' tools is still simple to believe. Once something broke, it was surely taken apart and/or melted down for other uses.. it's not like they had replacement parts at hand, or the factories to make them. <br><br>The missing link is still missing, and Stonehenge is still waiting.<br> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a239/ZeroHaven/tinhat.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
