TRex was a large and active animal that needed lots of food. When the food disappears, those depending on the food starve.
Crocodiles are mostly inactive predators and can lower their metabolism so that they can survive extended periods without food. Large crocodiles can survive several months without food. Crocodiles can utilize both terrestrial and aquatic prey and carcasses, so they have potentially a wider diet than TRex.
During lean periods, small-sized offspring may survive better than large-sized ones because size correlates with the demand of food. Body size is at least partly a heritable feature. If you have tens or hundreds of generations selection against large-sized individuals, the average size may drop much. To have this kind of long-lasting selection, at least some individuals of each generation needs to survive until they have reproduced and their offspring needs to survive until reproductive age. Apparently crocodiles could survive, TRex not.
Anthropologists and archaeologists have uncovered a progression of tool making technology which requires no more than reasonable inventiveness, building on the existing state of the art. No further explanation is necessary.
Well I donāt think it fits well with the notion of evolution. Thatās why. If someoneās subscribes to a young earth theory then itās safe to say he doesnāt subscribe to evolution.
A lot of these advancements could be explained by evolution rather than fallen angels teaching us stuff. But I could be wrong
Though that wouldnāt account for all of the marine reptile groups except for turtles and some crocodilomorphs going extinct (the really specialized marine crocodilomorphs from the Mesozoic disappeared), along with ammonoids, many planktonic forams, most mollusks, ammonoids, etc.
@adamjedgar, I think this guy is a charlatan, lining his pockets, while duping people and creating paranoia.
What does Jesus tell us about any of these claims or themes? As a builder, Jesus used tools that relied on metallurgy. He used farming illustrations all the time to tell us about himself and his Fatherāgood things, blessed things. Farming uses tools like axes, hoes, blades of all kinds. Did he give us any warnings about how to protect ourselves from satanically developed tools? No.
Does any straight-forward, clear part of the Bible support these ideas? No.
If the claims of this charlatan were true, then what?
@adamjedgar , life gives us enough challenges, and yours has given you more than enough in the last few years. Unsubscribe from this guy, and use your time and brain for better things. Enjoy your wife and kids and friends; fellowship with other believers; serve someone; read a really terrific book; go sing loudly while hang gliding.
None of that would have been relevant. Thereās a passage in an Ugaritic text about how (some of) the gods taught how to forge iron and make weapons, and then how humans turned this knowledge to the making of tools; by Jesusā time no one would remember which came first, or care.
I have to agree. He gets a lot of the scholarship right, but then goes off the deep end. I still canāt get over this:
The 1947 Luciferian transfer facilitated an evolutionary jump that saw humanity take gigantic leaps forward.
Actually, considering that bit, this guy has less than nothing to offer!
This article is not theology. It is an escapist fantasy. It is an example of the increasing tendency of people in the USA today to use the Bible as a way of running away from reality. The Bible is susceptible to providing, unfortunately, a real opportunity for this. It is also an example of the way in which the Internet gives a voice to nonsense.
First, with regard to metals. Weapons are not restricted to metals. Wooden spear shafts and flint spearheads can create an awful injury. Technology, whether it be stone or wood or metal, can be used for good as well as bad. There is plenty of metal and technology in the tools we use to save peopleās lives. Micah presents that grand vision of a time when people will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks (Micah 4:3). A bit of metallurgy there! We also have to ask whether there are not times when we need to beat out swords in order to protect the freedom in which people live.
It might be worth considering that Jesusā occupation is described in the original Greek as a ātechtonā - Ļį½³ĪŗĻĻĪ½ - which might well be translated as a ātechnicianā. (Mar 6:3 GNT) And there he is, hammering away on those metal nails. But hey, wait. A momentās thought reveals that the author of this article is using the very technology he attributes to Satan to get his so-called message across.
There is a great sense of urgency in the Gospels about the need to get the gospel out. Donāt be distracted from this by this codswallop.
Interestingā¦but controversialā¦great information until we got to Satan letting one of his ships crash in Roswell in 1947ā¦
I looked up this personās church and read his little autobiography. Interesting question on his church promotion: āDonāt just be a Wal-Mart shopper, be brave and come toā¦ā then the name of his church.
So whatās wrong with Wal-Mart?
He seems to like the Book of Enoch, which, I think, as an apocryphal curiosityācould easily be found in a sale bin somewhere. The details about Jesus teaming up with a group of 200 fallen angels led by one Semyaz ā in order to create human beings is speculative, like the stuff about that ship. This collaboration was, of course, before these creatures āfellā ābut that piece of information also assumes that we know timing of events ā which we do not really.
All we have is āin the beginning God created the heavens and the earthā¦ā the details are not givenā¦ Isnāt there also a theory that these angels resented the possibility that humankind was competition?
He then goes into religious history of the Olympic Games which is another topic.
The book of Enoch was written late and not by Enoch. It may have puzzled ancient Hebrew theologiansā¦and churches also never picked up on it because of questions of authorship plus some issues with theologyā¦see below from tuko.com
