the church of rome did the final descent act and re-buried scientist and former doctor of the church nicolas copernicus.. does it really have to take that long (centuries) for religious groups to admit they are wrong, is contrition that difficult for the keepers of the 'truth'.. does that mean that the governing body in 2510 will exonerate raymond franz.. .

the country is polarized on this new bill yet we have social medicine in several forms already- medicare, veterans care, state programs etc... will it be a watershed moment like the equal rights of the 60s or just blend in with other ongoing systems.. we need change in the cost of medicine.. my father died as a result of a stroke brought on by the lack of a blood transfusion in a 'bloodless' hospital, his atena insurance was exhausted there and he spent his final days being cared for very well in a veterans hospital.

and that was that.. .

dna tests were performed on a human from the saqqaq tribe in greenland from 2500 years ago and suggest these siberians migrated some 5500 years ago to the region.

his gene sequencing tags him as siberian and linked to modern inuit but not to central and south american native tribes.. how do these discoveries reshape your views on human migration and the history of the human gene pool and those outlined in the bible.. ie active uninterrupted civilizations at the time of the biblical flood.. .
