  • Reply to: Should Scientists Resurrect Extinct Species?   3 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: annacates

    If extinctions and endangerments are issue, then resurrections here and there would seem good.  I’d love to see science clone and bring to life all extinct hominid species for which we have DNA:  Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo Antecessor.  I suppose the ethical justification for this feat would relate to a woman’s reporductive rights, and the surrogate would be some very comitted young female scientist.  The value of that knowledge . . .

    If so there would have to be a very good special reason. Aimless resurrection so to say for the fun of it might turn out harmful to that species as well as the surroundings. The now newcomer would find it either too hard to create a niche, or too easy and there would be great risks at overturning hard won balances. Appealing as it may seem at first sight I am afraid my answer would be no, let´s not do that. But I understand it is already on its way!

    There is a reason species go extinct. It is all in the plan. Do not resurrect.

    My understanding is that the story is an ancient one and exists in a slightly altered form in many countries.
    It is nothing to do with Christianity and was taken over by Christianity in order to inveigle Christianity into the previous belief (Pagan) system as is the case with many 'Christian' stories.

    St George and the Dragon is the English translation of the story which has lost its original meaning.

    My intuition tells me that this is an Astrological story.

    Whether the story’s true or not, there’s a lot of metaphor in it, which makes it useful for religious teaching in whatever time. The dragon represents the devil or a demon which devours people’s souls, especially innocent young maidens. A righteous and fearless knight saves them and the town from wickedness and sin. It’s a very common theme, especially in Medieval times when it was popularised

    How does this help creationists? According to them the Earth’s about 5000 years old!

     

    On a different note, if the dating of the rocks and the dating of the bones within them are so hugely different, then one of them’s gotta be wrong!

    None of the carvings in the picture look like any recognisable animals to me. If anything they’re all dragons (like Chinese depictions of dragons maybe). At least two of them could be said to have wings if you’re looking for them!

    Has anyone looked at why people from outside sub-saharan Africa have straight hair, while sub-saharan Africans have curly or Afro Hair? Seems to me this is as big a differentiation as skin or eye colour, but nobody mentions it.

    Is there evidence of Neaderthal occupation in Ireland. And is there evidence of other Homo species occuping the island at or before this era.

    Another great read is genius journalist Jim Marrs’ (RIP) Our Occulted History. Where Graham Hancock steers clear of Aliens, Jim Marrs does not. From ancient Sumerian clay tablets to modern NASA scientists. Is The Moon a hollowed-out spaceship? Do the Anunnaki, or other aliens still live among us? Well referenced & indexed, well worth a look. His Alien Agenda is a top read also.

    There was no Gold; there was no Silver nor Precious Gems. There probably wasn't a Buffalo(actually Bison)-Hunting Mr. Beale. Morris used the myth of ‘Buried Treasure’ as a lure so searchers maybe able to find  true intellectual & spiritual treasures; Knowledge, Determination & Patience (& perhaps a few more positive attributes).  The True Treasure is the Enlightenment of the Human Mind & Soul.

    Graham Hancock has moved on.

    His latest book, America Before, makes a compelling case that it was a 21 year series of impacts that caused the great flood, wiping out Atlantis which was based on the American continent, both North & South.

    He has been working with the Comet Research Group of scientists.
    Much travelling & well researched, referenced & indexed.
    Many fine line drawings & colour  photos, a beaut book.

    Well worth a read.

    Question: Were the enteries in the particular scroll all writrten at the same time or time period? And,  as it was stated that “… he discovered that although their writing was very similar to the first scribe, a second scribe showed more variation within his writing than the first.” Is it possible that the variation in the handwritting was simply due to the aging (Arthritis) of the writer or perhaps a small stroke or hand injury? Just curious. 

    Thanks,  Noreen

    Hi All,

    I think, it could be a Stegosaurus see in a previous article on Ancient Origins that I read an interesting topic was raised that I agree with; that is despite the overwhelming extinction of whole populations of dinosaurs there was a real possibility that a few of these animals hadn't yet died all the way out.

    If the environment was reflective of the entire planet's atmosphere then it's possible a sparse amount of dinosaur populations could still flourish such as Central China they have a Rainforest too the Cambodian Jungles, India& Indonesia as well Vietnam.

    Then there's Africa deep within Cameroon's Jungle, Papua New Guinea, The Congo, South African Jungles.

    Lastly South America there was a story featured on an Episode of Unsolved Mysterious about A Man name Percy Fawcett.

    Percy Fawcett was a respectable Surveyor for The British Government He was well known for maintaining meticulous notes. On behalf of the British Government; He did a Surveyor Job in down in Brazil along the Amazon River.

    According to him He saw a 60 foot long Anaconda but, he also mentioned seeing other odd animals that he wrote about. Now that was in 1905 to 1907. R

    Naturally people didn't believe Fawcett so he went back to Brazil to bring back the evidence however, his final instruction if Britain didn't hear from him for very long do not send a rescue party.

    The Final Act Fawcett did was too leave all of his Notes behind with one of his friend's Sir Arthur Conan Doyle those notes is the reason as too why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote The Adventure story The Lost World.

    Getting back to my original statement although a majority of the dinosaurs were all extinct there might have been an reminants of dinosaurs that continued too Survive pass extinction.

    Considering the Cambodian Temple was built in 1147 A.D. it's an example of a sparse population of animal not quite died out.

    So this is all I wish to share about Stegosaurus on the Cambodian temple. Until next time Everyone, Goodbye!

    It also so nicely explains the myth that blacks built the Great monuments of Egypt because we know that the Pharos were related to the Irish.I wondered how they were going to Fix” that! It is a timed SJW piece.

    Did they have dreadlocks? I think not. This is a political article, nothing more.

    You're most likely correct, meshkiankasher. It's likely some liberal SJW jab at white people. This bs has gotten out of hand
