First Humans May Have Been European

by cofty in

the fossil record of early hominins in africa is very well established with patterns of later migrations into asia and europe.

the hypothesis is sometimes referred to as "out of africa".. however a new paper from researchers at the university of toronto describes two fossil specimens of an even earlier ancestor graecopithecus freybergi who lived 7.2 million years ago, putting it close to our common ancestor with chimpanzees.

crucially these fossils were not discovered in africa but in greece and bulgaria.. the team are proposing that environmental changes that led to the formation of the sahara pushed the ancestors of graecopithecus freybergi further north towards the eastern mediterranean where the chimp-human split occurred.. this hypothesis is likely to be controversial for all sorts of reasons!.

Noah's shuttle ferry. A biblical defender's excuse?

by stuckinarut2 in

we just realised that everyone has had it wrong!

the bible even got it wrong.. noah didn't build an ark that stopped in one place.

no my friends, it was actually more of a shuttle ferry that had multiple stops on its journey.

Russell's Pyramidology Originated In Edinburgh Scotland

by cofty in

the edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .

the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).

smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.

The End is Coming. The Divorce Rate is Going Up. Except it Isn't....

by konceptual99 in

so one of the things witnesses have been saying for years is how marriage is under attack, typically marrying the word "soaring" with the words "divorce" and "rate".. here are some metrics that suggest that for those who do get married in england and wales this assertion is not actually correct.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40524156.

sure there are less marriages than there used to be and more people cohabiting but it does throw some water on the argument that the sky is falling in as far as marriage is concerned..

Just heard that the WT sent money to help brothers in Russia

by Bonnie_Clyde in

clyde and i had lunch with a friend who attended the assembly with his wife.

he told us that he was sure he heard that the wt had sent money to russia to help the brothers financially.

i told him that i heard the opposite....that they are directing witnesses to meet in private homes and set up a donation jar for the sole purpose of sending money to the wt, giving explicit instructions on how to transmit the funds.

How can angels be sexually attracted to women?

by Island Man in

the nephilim account in genesis is utterly ridiculous when you consider that angels are sex-less beings and would therefore lack sex-drive and romantic attraction.

think of how difficult it is for humans with a sex drive to be sexually attracted to animals.

now take away that sex drive and it becomes literally impossible.

""""If it's possible for Satan to turn himself into a talking snake, then anything is possible."""""

Did Satan actually do this?? ?

Also as spirits, do they have any "form" at all ? Why would they need any form - legs arms bollocks....etc The more you contemplate it the more absurd it gets~
