THE CROSS THAT HOLDS OUR BODY TOGETHER!

Laminin - it's molecular structure resembles a cross. A Christian preacher, Louie Giglio, talked about Laminin and relates it to the scriptures in the bible and the wonders of God. You can watch the video in youtube.

Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together. Improper production of laminin can cause muscles to form improperly, leading to a form of muscular dystrophy. It can also cause progeria.

THe cross is meant to hold a human body. So not suprising that it resembles one. Being nailed to one was a form of punishment/torture/execution. Same thing with being impaled to a stake through the butt. Slow painful death/decay...

i dont believe in the alien theory.

but i believe in the reset theory of the Matrix


for example, pre-polar shift, meron na world civilization noon, tulad ng sinabi ko sa kabila thread: the Atlanteans, the MU's and the Lemurians.

noon time na yun ang favorite architeture design ng bahay nila eh pyramid
ang source of power nila eh hinde electricity but light

they had spaceships but not powered by fossil fuels but by light din.

the 3 continents traded with each other. who knows baka may iphone na noon araw

and they had misunderstandings too, that's why a part of India was nuked before parang yun Nagasaki / Hiroshima ngaun.

then the great polar shift: sira buong mundo. only a few got saved as is the arks. kahit may library sila noon, internet, wala eh sira lahat. no more ancient records.

and yet another ancient world more ancient than the 3 lost continents, yun yun mga nauna pa and got so irked by the constant shifting of the world at naisipan nalang tumira sa hollow earth. kasi mas safe dun. walang calamities, catastrophes,

tingin ko wala pa din aliens - extra-terrestial. yun aliens na nakikita natin ngaun, galing din sa'tin yun, either a city under the sea, or a city under the earth's crust.

check buddhism and greek/roman mythology, and even ancient india's ramayana, it seems that they have something in common, they believe there is a world beneath us.

you're ideas of atlantean and hollow earth do not necessarily contradict uls' idea of aliens coming to earth to teach the caveman and/or cohabit

i think you two support each other's ideas ... the difference may only be a matter of timeline

'Cell phone' spotted in silent film from 1928

October 28, 2010
By Stephanie Goldberg

It's not shocking to see a woman talking on her cell phone while walking down the street. It is, however, shocking when the woman is an extra in a silent film from 1928.

Charlie Chaplin's "The Circus" is getting internet buzz with a clip from the black-and-white comedy spreading at viral speed.

The clip -- a DVD extra spotted by filmmaker George Clarke -- shows a woman holding what some say appears to be a mobile phone to her ear and talking.

The only explanation: She's a time traveler.

At least that's the word on the Web.

In the late 1920s, Chaplin was nominated for an Academy Award for acting, writing, directing and producing "The Circus," but he was taken out of the running and presented with a "Special Award" instead.

Perhaps the Academy didn't think it was fair to include him in the race -- what with the use of technology from the future and all.

We're just curious who operates her mobile network.

i also received that sa email months ago

religion taught us that we are special

that we have a special place in the universe and that everything was created for us and that we have a special purpose and all that

it's like the universe revolves around Man

with that mindset, people attribute everything to God

a tree, a bird, a flower, an ant, the stars, the moon, the complexity of the human body, the structure of laminin... it's all God's work

While the possibility of aliens actually existing is pretty high, the idea that ancient man had to have derived all his ideas from aliens is pretty demeaning to homo sapiens sapiens... over the past thousands of years, widely different cultures had developed clockworks, batteries, alloys, explosives, etcetera... long before "Western" culture reinvented them.

example of natural selection in human population

in places where malaria is prevalent, people who have a sickle cell mutation allowed them to be more resistant to malaria

those without the mutation would die of malaria, while those with the mutation live and multiply and that trait became dominant the population

Global map of the sickle cell gene supports 'malaria hypothesis'
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releas...-gmo110110.php

Public release date: 2-Nov-2010

At a global scale, the sickle cell gene is most commonly found in areas with historically high levels of malaria, adding geographical support to the hypothesis that the gene, whilst potentially deadly, avoids disappearing through natural selection by providing protection against malaria.

In a study funded by the Wellcome Trust, geographers, biologists and statisticians at the University of Oxford, together with colleagues from the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Programme in Kenya, have produced the first detailed global map showing the distribution of the sickle cell gene. The results are published today in open access in the journal Nature Communications.

Haemoglobin S (HbS) is known to cause sickle cell disease, which is usually fatal if untreated. Natural selection suggests that such a disadvantageous gene should not survive, yet it is common in people of African, Mediterranean and Indian origin.

More than sixty years ago, researchers observed that the sickle cell gene tended to be more common in populations living in, or originating from, areas of high malaria prevalence. This led to the 'malaria hypothesis', which suggested that, although deadly when inherited from both parents, the gene provided a degree of protection from malaria in children inheriting it from just one parent. This protective advantage was strong enough in areas of intense malaria transmission for the gene to survive.

The malaria hypothesis has since been supported by both population and laboratory studies, but the original observations of a geographical overlap between frequency of the gene and malaria prevalence have never been tested beyond simple visual comparisons at the global scale.

To address this, Dr Fred Piel and colleagues collated all the information currently accessible on the occurrence of the sickle cell gene in native populations worldwide and, using modern mapping techniques, created a map of the global frequency of this gene. The map was then compared with the distribution and intensity of malaria before widespread malaria control.

The study showed that the sickle cell gene is most common in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and India, and that the areas of high frequency of this gene are coincident with historically high levels of malaria, thus confirming that the malaria hypothesis is correct at the global scale.

"This study highlights the first steps in our efforts to create an open-access, online database of the frequency of various inherited blood disorders," says lead author Dr Piel, from the University of Oxford. "Such databases will help improving estimates of their public health burden and guide where resources would be best applied."

ancient writings about "gods from the sky" had to have a basis

primitive brains would interpret aliens descending from the sky as "gods" or "angels" from the "heavens"

ancient writings often talk about gods and angels... always referring to the place where they came from as heaven

could it be that that's primitive man's way of describing extraterrestrial visitors from space?

the ancient writings that eventually became the modern day Bible was primitive man's account of the things during their time (actually before their time... the book of Genesis was written far, far later than when the first human civilization appeared 6000 yrs ago)

their interpretation of things may not be how we would interpret things if we saw them ourselves

just a hypothesis

While it's possible, and I have entertained that notion at one point or another, the difficulty is that we are reinterpreting those events through our own biases and filtering it through our "modern" viewpoint.

Purported alien "astronauts", thus, who were confused with "gods" could actually be time travellers, interdimensional beings or even the lost Atlanteans... humans from an incredibly advanced prehistoric civilization.

Or they could even have been... actual Gods.

It's always fun poking through ancient writing and trying to reinterpret some of the fantastical words into a reconstruction of what actually happened to inspire those writings... (like the volcanic events that likely inspired the story of Atlantis and the Biblical plagues... or the flood that inspired the flood myths)... but one must exhaust all mundane explanations before settling on exotic ones.

The problem with viewing ancient gods as aliens is the wide variety of shapes and sizes that those gods came in, whereas alien visitation in the past would have likely given a more uniform look and feel to pagan gods instead of the imaginative and well-populated bestiary that the ancients left us.

Oh, god.

That stupid "student and professor" story pops up again.

I hope the writer of that story would just try to have a better understanding of science. There is such a thing as Inductive reasoning/inference.

The thing is, the people who are easily swayed by religion and other superstitions are of course easily swayed by this idiotic, science straw-man anecdote.
