Forbidden Archeology

Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson

This book covered additional fossil evidence that is being suppressed because it does not conform to the established evolutionary theory. No point of view is expressed in the book, all it covers is a catalog of fossil evidence that suggests man has been here on earth in his present form (homo sapiens) far earlier than the established dates.

The book covers human fossils, tools and evidence for the use of tools in rocks that are dated in various periods.

Ample evidence for tool using humans in the tertiary period, long before any of the assumed precursors to man. These human fossils and primitive tools have been found all around the world, from California, to Europe, to Argentina. (These dates are given based upon the accepted dates for rock stratus, these date are endorsed by the USGS and confirmed by mainstream evolutionists)

Human fossil evidence, tools, and metal work (coins and metal vessels) are found in rocks dated from 230 million years (Triassic period, pre-dinosaur). One such metal vessel was found in a rock that has been confirmed to be of a pre-Cambrian.

The book also covers evidence that transitional species are not missing links and some of the hoaxes.

If I had to guess what point of view or theory they support, I would have to go with some type of planet seeding theory.

I think this is more proof for those who are critical of current radiometric dating methods. The fact they found metal work in a pre-Cambrian rock is proof they don't know how to date and there current methods are, as other propose, incorrect.

One question I had about the creationist theory is why have no human evidence has been found in the fossil record alongside with the dinosaurs. (Other than the foot prints side by side with a dinosaur in Texas) If this book is correct and evidence has been found in strata that supports the literal creationist position I can see why it would be suppressed.

Breaking News: Ark of the Covenant

Apparently, today the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia, Abuna Pauolos, will have an announcement concerning the Ark of the Covenant. Legend has that the Ark was moved there for safe keeping long ago. The story is over 1500 years old so that does lend some credibility to the story, if for nothing else its longevity.

A great mystery will be solved today; either it is the real Ark of the Covenant, a copy or nothing at all. The real question I concern myself with is what does this mean for Christians? I know it will have tremendous meaning for Jews.

Many Christians contend that God does not have His presence above the Mercy Seat (lid of the Ark) anymore. As Christians we can boldly walk to the throne of grace, Jesus is our High Priest. From this point of view, it is a relic, once used by God.

For some they believe that Christ will return to rule over Israel. A new temple will bill built and the Ark placed back in the new temple. A new dawn of civilization; sounds like good news if that is a correct understanding.

What if it is true and it is brought to Jerusalem and placed in the Temple of the Rock? Would that bring peace? If it did, is that bad news for us?

I can speculate all day. I guess it is best to watch and see how this unfolds. Here are some links to sites that have reported the news.

Transformers Revenge of The Fallen

Written by Donald Hester
Wednesday, 24 June 2009 21:31
I don't get the critics. They don't like any of the good movies. But I digress; let me tell you why I like this movie, even better then the first live action movie. The movie is an action movie and it is a sci-fi movie. So you have to suspend disbelief on things like an ancient robot alien device in the great pyramid. The same way you have to suspend disbelief with Benjamin Button. Moral of the story "Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing." When fate calls we need to rise to the occasion. That is what Sam does. Reinforced with his near death experience where he is told he has what it takes to be a leader. All good stories need to have a moral or some great truth we can relate to. This movie has it even if the critics could not see it between all the explosions. Character development Most people will miss the references and parallels to previous Transformers stories. If you take the information or themes of the characters from those earlier sources you will get a deeper appreciation for the characters. For example Jetfire (Skyfire) in the original series was a transformer who was found on earth and was stuck on Earth long ago much like Megatron was from the first Transformers movie. He was fist a Decepticon and then changed sides to the Autobots. He risks his life to save the Autobots. The parallels with this movie are easy to see and bring added depth to Jetfire’s character. Another example is The Fallen. The evil overlord to Megatron and the one who wants to suck the energy from the sun leaving Earth in the dark in this movie. In the Comic book series Transformers the War Within, The Fallen is one of the original 13 transformers. Long ago he forgot his name but was overseer of the universal clock. He then fell under Unicron'c control and tried to bring Unicron to consume all the Universe and waits to see the last star wink out. Lots of depth to The Fallen that is lost on most movie goers, especially pretentious critics. Storyline The story line is a classic good triumphing over evil. Of course there is no suspense if at first evil does not triumph over good and good has to return to win the final battle. This is a classic story line. Now look at the story as an archetype. You can see Optimus Prime as an archetype for Jesus and The Fallen as an archetype for Satan. I mean Optimus Prime even dies is and resurrected. Optimus Prime gives his life to save others just like Jesus. In the end, Optimus vanquishes the evil Fallen, just like the final fate of Satan. “One shall stand and one shall fall.” Sam even believed there was a reason for what happened and believed Prime would come back and save the day. The movie is a spiritual journey wrapped in an action packed sci-fi story. This movie is deep. Far deeper than those shallow critics give it credit for. Rant (If you haven't guessed I disagree with most of the critics of this film. Actually, I disagree with them often; elitist critics who continuously bash top grossing movies? There must be a disconnect! I mean, pretentious critics continuously miss the mark. What they call good barely makes any money and the movies they hate, like Star Wars, blows the top off the box office. One would think that if no one would pay to see the Mona Lisa then it would not be fine art. People pay to see the Mona Lisa because it is fine art. Don't tell the critics, they have a feeling of superiority and if we burst it, they may have no meaning left to their menial lives. You know what grinds my gears, movie critics.) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/

Transformers The Movie (1986)

I am going to see Transformers 2 tonight at midnight. The other day I watched the original animated movie from the 80's. Here are my thoughts on the old movie. Starting off the original animated movie… "It's the year 2005" You would think for a movie they would have done a better job on cinematics for a movie than they did for the TV show. I read this post once about this instructor in Japan who said the movie was the worst movie ever. It destroyed his idealistic view of Transformers. I have to agree 100%. Actually more. The movie has so many inconsistencies. Too many deaths too easy. Just to sell new toys. The TransFormer cartoons since have been crap. Beast Wars, crap! TransFormers Cybertron, crap! TransFormers Armada, crap! TransFormers Energon, crap! What ever the new one is called, crap! The death of Optimus Prime is something that will go down in history as the worst movie moment. Mostly because it was lame. Weak. Galvatron seems like a psychotic nitwit and Rodimus Prime a pansy. Till all are one! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092106/ To see someone who has the same opinion of the movie check out this editorial. One of the best reviews I have ever read. http://www.outpostnine.com/editorials/source.html

My Thoughts on Proverbs

Written by Donald Hester

This is a continuation of my ongoing report. I recently decided to listen to the Bible in an effort to gain a closer relationship with God. I purposefully listen not with the intent to study. I have a hard time reading the Bible I just start looking things up and I don't make much progress. I am listening to the Bible Experience (http://www.inspiredby.com/) which is a dramatized NIV version with many famous African American leaders, singers, actors and artists. (Even Samuel L. Jackson) As I listen through the Bible, hopefully I will make it all the way through, I will post notes and thoughts I have. Solomon wrote the book, which makes sense because people would come from all over the world to hear him. It is easier to write a book. However, all of them were not written by Solomon. This book is worth listening to again. Some wisdom for you: Avoid sinners Listen to parents Fools hate knowledge Honor your word Wisdom is like woman Give Watch out for pride People sharpen each other Other things: Attitude of wise person Peace and prosperity Simple verses prudent Dispute resolution Who you associate with Hard work
