  1. Will other news agencies corroborate the Daily Mail? Or is The Mail the only news outlet to scoop this news?
  2. The breastplate definitely reminded me of Darth Vader's chest controls.
  3. That might not be as different as you think. The entire article smells of tabloid press along the lines of the National Enquirer
  4. Uh huh. All these religious leaders have been contacted by US Intelligence. The Daily Smell....
  5. At least in this case it's not some new novel variant people never heard of.
  6. Second time in history. First since 1991. Definitely not common. The photos comparing Charles previous visits are interesting.
  7. That's a nice way to put it. Never thought of it like that. Nice way to reach the logical conclusion. Sure. If you agree we can say we have Scottish DNA or Pacific Islander DNA, then we can say we have Neanderthal DNA. That's what 23 and Me and Ancestry.com have built their businesses on, right? This pattern or combination of DNA you carry matches the pattern or combination of DNA carried by the general population of this region or that. Therefore you carry the DNA of this group of people and you can trace your ancestry back to this location.
  8. Since the Bible is silent on most of this, who can say? One of the points I was trying to make was we don't know how manr Nephilim there were. The fewer the number, the less likely it is any of their fossils survived for us to find. The scriptures do not mention anything about their DNA. There is no evidence to support that Nephilim DNA was any different than human. There is no evidence to support the supposition that the Nephilim were genetically different in any way. In fact, the Bible does not even say they were hybrids. That's an assumption. It might be a logical assumption, but we lack sufficient evidence to support a conclusion. We don't know how the demons pulled off being able to mate with human women and produce offspring. If those offspring, the Nephilim, were also fertile and capable of reproduction, then they would be genetically indistinguishable from natural humans. In regards the supposed Nephilim being a separate species, this is evolutionary propaganda. It's a twisting of the facts to support their god-dishonoring theory. Humans are one species - human. Or, if you want to use the biblical description, we are the same kind. The genetic differences between groups of humans do not create separate species. They are variations within the species. Just like dogs. Terriers and dobermans are both the same species - dogs. The genetic differences may result in variety of appearance and could pose danger in reproduction, but they are all still dogs. These ideas that Neanderthals were a separate species that lost the evolutionary lottery and died out is fantasy. These scientists have latched onto a set of unique genetic characteristics and decided this is evidence of a separate species. This is the same thinking that fuels racism and the separation of humans into distinct groups based on a unique combination of genetics and ancestral place of birth.
  9. You live in the United States. Life here is different than other countries. Some locations outside the United States are suffering worse as a result of the conflict with Iran. People who live in lands that are struggling more than other locations are receiving direction relevant to their situation. I find it beneficial to check where someone is from when they make a comment of concern or talk about living conditions that I'm not experiencing.
  10. Since Neanderthals were human and not some separate species, I'm going with yes, they have Neanderthal DNA. We are all Neanderthals. The entire idea that Neanderthals were a separate evolutionary branch is incompatible with the Bible. The fact scientists say we carry Neanderthal DNA supports the idea these Neanderthals were human. Fully human. Species cannot reproduce with a different species.
  11. Since science says we carry Neanderthal DNA today, in going to say not Nephilim. Hybrids typically are sterile. Mules are an example. How large a sample size over how many years are necessary for a species to leave enough evidence to show up in the fossil record today? It's not like every living thing that dies left a fossil.
  12. Ought to soothe those among us who have expressed concern that the Anglo-American World Power appears to be breaking down.
