Tunguska, The Valley of Death

by Dr Valery Uvarov Department N13 - National Security Academy - St Petersburg - Russia Extracted from Nexus Magazine, Volume 11, Number 1 December 2003-January 2004   Across a vast area of sparsely populated Yakutia in Siberia can be found strange metallic structures and evidence of devastating nuclear-type explosions every six or seven centuries. In northwestern Yakutia in Siberia, in the basin of the Upper Viliuy River, there is a hard-to-reach area that bears the marks of a tremendous cataclysm that took place some 800 years ago, which toppled the entire forest cover and scattered stone fragments over hundreds of square kilometers. Distributed across this area are mysterious metal objects located deep underground in the permafrost. On the surface, their presence is revealed only by patches of weird vegetation. The ancient name of this area is Uliuiu Cherkechekh, which translates as "the Valley of Death". For many years the Yakut people have given a very wide berth to this remote area that has played and still plays a special, powerful role in the fate not only of civilization but of the planet as a whole. After having systematized a large quantity of reports and material of various kinds, we decided to inform you of something that may change perceptions of the world around us and our place in it, if humanity can take heed of what is stated here. In order to provide the fullest possible picture, we have divided our account into three sections. The first contains the facts and eyewitness reports in the form in which they reached us. The second presents the ancient legends of peoples living in this region and the epic poetry of neighboring peoples who observed strange phenomena. This is important so that you can carry out your own investigation and appreciate for yourselves every detail of the narrative. Finally, we discuss what lies behind all this [see Part 2]. Eyewitness Reports The area in question can be described as a solid mass of swamps, alternating with near-impassable taiga, covering more than 100,000 square kilometers. Some fairly curious rumors have become attached to the area regarding metal objects of unknown origin located across its expanse. In order to shed light on whatever it was that, existing barely perceptibly alongside us, gave rise to these rumors, we had to go into the ancient history of this region to discover its beliefs and legends. We managed to recreate certain elements of the local palaeotoponymy and these matched in an astonishing manner the content of the ancient legends. Everything indicated that the legends and rumors were referring to quite specific things. In ancient times, the Valley of Death was part of a nomadic route used by the Evenk people, from Bodaibo to Annybar and on to the coast of the Laptev Sea. Right up until 1936, a merchant named Savvinov traded on the route; when he gave up the business, the inhabitants gradually abandoned those places. Finally, the aged merchant and his granddaughter Zina decided to move to Siuldiukar. Somewhere in the land between two rivers that is known as Kheldyu ("iron house" in the local language), the old man led her to a small, slightly flattened reddish arch where, beyond a spiral passageway, there turned out to be a number of metal chambers in which they then spent the night. Zina’s grandfather told her that even in the harshest frosts it was warm as summer in the chambers. In days gone by, there were bold men among the local hunters who would sleep in these rooms. But then they began to fall seriously ill, and those who had spent several nights in a row there soon died. The Yakut said that the place was "very bad, marshy, and beasts do not go there". The location of all these constructions was known only to old men who had been hunters in their youth and had often visited these places. They lived a nomadic life and their knowledge of the peculiarities of the area—where one could go, and where one couldn’t—was a matter of vital necessity. Their descendants have adopted a settled way of life, so this knowledge from the past has been lost. At present, the only things that point to the existence of these constructions are ancient place names that have survived in part and all manner of rumors. But each of those toponyms represents hundreds, if not thousands, of square kilometres. In 1936, alongside the Olguidakh ("place with a cauldron") River, a geologist directed by elderly natives came upon a smooth metal hemisphere, reddish in colour, protruding from the ground with such a sharp edge that it "cut a fingernail". Its walls were about two centimeters thick and it stuck out of the ground roughly a fifth of its diameter. It stood leaning over so that it was possible to ride under it on a reindeer. The geologist dispatched a description of it to Yakutsk, the regional centre. In 1979, an archaeological expedition from Yakutsk attempted to find the hemisphere he had discovered. The team members had with them a guide who had seen the structure several times in his youth, but he said that the area was greatly changed and so they failed to find anything. It must be said that in that locality you can pass within 10 paces of something and not notice it, so earlier discoveries have been pure luck. Back in 1853, R. Maak, a noted explorer of the region, wrote: "In Suntar [a Yakut settlement] I was told that in the upper reaches of the Viliuy there is a stream called Algy timirbit (which translates as "the large cauldron sank") flowing into the Viliuy. Close to its bank in the forest there is a gigantic cauldron made of copper. Its size is unknown as only the rim is visible above the ground, but several trees grow within it…" The same thing was recorded by N. D. Arkhipov, a researcher into the ancient cultures of Yakutia: "Among the population of the Viliuy basin there is a legend from ancient times about the existence in the upper reaches of that river of bronze cauldrons or olguis. This legend deserves attention as the areas that are the supposed location of the mythical cauldrons contain several streams with the name Olguidakh— ’Cauldron Stream’." And here is a passage from a letter penned in 1996 by another person who visited the Valley of Death. Mikhail Koretsky from Vladivostok wrote: "I was there three times. The first time was in 1933, when I was ten—I travelled with my father when he went there to earn some money—then in 1937, without my father. And the last time was in 1947 as part of a group of youngsters. "The ’Valley of Death’ extends along a right-hand tributary of the Viliuy River. In point of fact it is a whole chain of valleys along its flood lands. All three times I was there with a guide, a Yakut. We didn’t go there because life was good, but because there, in the back of beyond, you could pan for gold without the threat that at the end of the season you’d be robbed or get a bullet in the back of your head. "As for mysterious objects, there are probably a lot of them there, as in three seasons I saw seven of those ’cauldrons’. They all struck me as totally perplexing: for one thing, there was their size—between six and nine meters in diameter. "Secondly, they were made of some strange metal. Everyone has written that they were made of copper, but I’m sure it isn’t copper. The thing is that even a sharpened cold chisel will not mark the ’cauldrons’ (we tried more than once). The metal doesn’t break off and can’t be hammered. On copper, a hammer would definitely have left noticeable dents. But this ’copper’ is covered over with a layer of some unknown material resembling emery. Yet it’s not an oxidation layer and not scale—it can’t be chipped or scratched, either. "We didn’t come across shafts going down into the ground with chambers. But I did note that the vegetation around the ’cauldrons’ is anomalous—totally different from what’s growing around. It’s more opulent: large-leaved burdock; very long withes; strange grass, one and a half or two times the height of a man. In one of the ’cauldrons’, the whole group of us (six people) spent the night. We didn’t sense anything bad, and we calmly left without any sort of unpleasant occurrences. Nobody fell seriously ill afterwards. Except that three months later, one of my friends lost all his hair. And on the left side of my head (the side I slept on), three small sore spots the size of match-heads appeared. I’ve tried to get rid of them all my life, but they’re still with me today. "None of our efforts to break off even a small piece from the strange ’cauldrons’ was successful. The only thing I did manage to bring away was a stone. Not an ordinary one, though: half of a perfect sphere, six centimeters in diameter. It was black in colour and bore no visible signs of having been worked, yet was very smooth as if polished. I picked it up from the ground inside one of those cauldrons. "I took my souvenir of Yakutia with me to the village of Samarka, Chuguyevka district, Primorsky region (the Soviet Far East), where my parents were living in 1933. I was laid up with nothing to do until my grandmother decided to build a house. We needed to put glass in the windows and there wasn’t a glass-cutter in the entire village. I tried scoring it with the edge of that half of a stone sphere, and it turned out to cut with amazing ease. After that, my find was often used like a diamond by all our relatives and friends. In 1937 I gave the stone to my grandfather, but that autumn he was arrested and taken to Magadan where he lived on without trial until 1968 and then died. Now no-one knows where my stone got to…" In his letter, Koretsky stresses that in 1933 his Yakut guide told him that: "…five or ten years before, he had discovered several spherical cauldrons (they were absolutely round) that protruded high (higher than a man) out of the ground. They looked brand new. Later the hunter had seen them again, now broken and scattered." Koretsky also noted that when he visited one "cauldron" a second time, in the intervening few years it had sunk appreciably into the ground. A. Gutenev and Yu. Mikhailovsky, two researchers who lived in the town of Mirny in Yakutia, reported that in 1971 an old hunter belonging to the Evenk people had said that in the area between two rivers known as Niugun Bootur ("fiery champion") and Atadarak ("place with a three-sided harpoon"), there is poking out of the ground the very thing that gave the place its name—a "very big" three-faceted iron harpoon—while in the area between two rivers known as Kheliugur ("iron people"), there is an iron burrow in which lie "thin, black, one-eyed people in clothes of iron". He said that he could take people there, that it was not far away, but no-one believed him. In the meantime, he died. One more of these objects was, to all appearances, covered after the building of a dam on the Viliuy, slightly below the Erbiie. According to the account of one of the builders of the Viliuy hydro-electric project, when they constructed a diversion canal and drained the main channel they discovered in it a convex metal "spot". Deadlines were pressing and after a cursory inspection of the find the project managers gave orders for work to continue. There is a host of tales from people who came across similar constructions by accident, but without precise directions it is extremely difficult to find these again in the depressingly monotonous terrain. Once some old men said that flowing in the place called Tong Duurai is a stream called Ottoamokh ("holes in the ground") and that around it there are incredibly deep openings known as "the laughing chasms". That same name also crops up in legends that state that this is the dwelling of a fiery giant who destroys everything around. Roughly every six or seven centuries, a monstrous "fireball" bursts out from there and it either flies off somewhere into the distance and (judging by the chronicles and legends of other peoples) explodes there, or it explodes directly above its exit point—as a result of which, the area for hundreds of kilometers around has been reduced to a scorched desert with shattered rocks. Yakut legends contain many references to explosions, fiery whirlwinds and blazing spheres rising into the air. And all those phenomena are somehow or other associated with the mysterious metal constructions found in the Valley of Death. Some of them are large, round, "iron houses" standing on numerous lateral supports. They have neither windows nor doors, only a "spacious manhole" at the top of the dome. Some of them have sunk almost completely into the permafrost, with only a barely noticeable arch-like protuberance remaining on the surface. Witnesses who are strangers to each other describe this "resounding metal house" in the same way. Other objects scattered across the area are the metallic hemispherical lids that cover something unknown. Yakut legends say that the mysterious blazing spheres are produced by "an orifice belching smoke and fire" with a "banging steel lid". This is also the source for the fiery whirlwinds that from the descriptions sound very similar to the effects of present-day atomic explosions. Roughly a century before each explosion or series of explosions, a fast-flying fiery sphere emerged from the "iron orifice" and, without causing great damage, soared upwards in the form of a thin column of fire. At the top of this, a very large fireball appeared. Accompanied by four claps of thunder in succession, it soared to an even greater height and flew off, leaving behind a long "trail of smoke and fire". Then a cannonade of its explosions sounded in the distance... In the 1950s, the Soviet military cast an eye over this area, evidently due to the exceptionally sparse population on its northern fringes, and conducted a series of atomic tests there. One of the explosions produced a great puzzle, and foreign specialists are still speculating about it. As the German radio station Deutsche Welle reported in September 1991 that, when a 10-kilogram nuclear device was being tested in 1954, for unknown reasons the size of the explosion exceeded the calculations by a factor of 2,000 to 3,000, reaching 20–30 megatons, as was registered by seismic laboratories around the world. The cause of such a significant discrepancy in the power of the explosion remained unclear. The news agency TASS put out an announcement that a compact hydrogen bomb had been tested in airburst conditions, but it later emerged that this was incorrect. After the tests, restricted zones were established in the area and secret work was carried out for some years.   Myths and Legends Let us try to look into the distant past as it is reflected in epic poetry. As the legends passed on by word of mouth testify, in the remote period when everything began, the area was inhabited by a small number of Tungus nomads. Once upon a time, their distant neighbours saw that their land was suddenly wrapped in impenetrable darkness and the surroundings were shaken by a deafening roar. A hurricane of unseen force arose and the land was riven by mighty blows. Lightning crossed the sky in all directions. When everything calmed down and the darkness dispersed, an unprecedented sight met the nomads’ eyes. In the midst of the scorched land, glowing in the sun stood a tall vertical structure that was visible at a distance of many days’ journey. For a long time, the structure gave out unpleasant, ear-splitting noises and gradually diminished in height until it disappeared under the ground altogether. In place of the tall structure there was an immense, yawning, vertical "orifice". In the strange words of the legends, it consisted of three tiers of "laughing chasms". Its depths supposedly contained an underground country with its own sun that was, however, "waning". A choking stench rose from the orifice, and so no-one settled near it. From a distance, people could sometimes see a "rotating island" appear above the opening, and this then proved to be its "banging lid". Those who were tempted by curiosity to take a closer look never returned. Centuries went by. Life went on as before. Nobody anticipated anything extraordinary, but one day a small earthquake occurred and the sky was pierced by a thin "fiery whirlwind". At the top of it, a dazzling fireball appeared. Accompanied by "a succession of four thunderclaps" and leaving behind a trail of fire, this sphere shot off along a shallow downward trajectory and, after vanishing beyond the horizon, exploded. The nomads were perturbed but did not abandon the lands that were home to them, since the "demon" had not caused them any harm but had exploded over the lands of the hostile neighbouring tribe. A few decades later, events repeated themselves: the fireball flew off in the same direction and again destroyed only their neighbours. Evidently this "demon" was in some way their protector and they began to create legends about it, calling it Niurgun Bootur, "the fiery champion". But some time later, events occurred that horrified those in even the most distant surroundings. A gigantic fireball emerged from the opening with a deafening, thunderous roar and exploded—right overhead! A tremendous earthquake ensued. Some hills were cut across by a crack more than 100 meters deep. Following the explosion, a "fire-raging sea" continued to swash about with a disc-like "rotating island" above it. The effects of the explosion extended over a radius of more than a thousand kilometers. The nomadic tribes which survived on the edges of the area fled in different directions, seeking to distance themselves from the fatal spot, but that did save them from death. They all succumbed to some kind of strange illness that was passed on only by inheritance. Yet they left behind them precise accounts of what had taken place, on the basis of which Yakut storytellers began to compose beautiful, exceptionally tragic legends. A little over 600 years passed. Many generations of nomads had come and gone. The precepts of the remote ancestors had been forgotten and people again settled the area. Then history repeated itself… The fireball of Niurgun Bootur appeared above a fiery whirlwind and again flew off to explode beyond the horizon. A few decades later, a second fireball rent the air (now it was called Kiun Erbiie - "the gleaming aerial herald" or "messenger"). Then came another devastating explosion that the legends again anthropomorphized. It was given the name Uot Usumu Tong Duurai, which can be roughly translated as "the criminal stranger who pierced the earth and hid in the depths, destroying all around with a fiery whirlwind". It is important to note that on the eve of the flight of the negative hero Tong Duurai, there appeared in the sky the messenger of the heavenly Dyesegei—the champion Kiun Erbiie who crossed the firmament as a "falling star" or "dashing lightning" so as to warn Niurgun Bootur of the coming battle. The most significant event in the legends was Tong Duurai bursting forth from the underground depths and doing battle with Niurgun Bootur. This took place roughly as follows: firstly, a snake-like, branching, fiery whirlwind burst forth from the "orifice", on the top of which there again appeared a fireball of gigantic size which, after several peals of thunder, shot high into the air. He was accompanied in flight by his retinue—"a swarm of fatally bloody whirlwinds" that wrought havoc in the vicinity. But there were occasions when Tong Duurai encountered Niurgun Bootur above the place where he took off; and following these, the area remained lifeless for a long time. The picture painted of these events varies quite considerably: several "fiery champions" might emerge from the opening at once, fly some distance and explode in one place. This happened with the flight of Tong Duurai. A study of the soil layers indicates that the interval between explosions does not exceed 600–700 years. The legends vividly reflect these events, but the absence of a written tradition means that they have not been registered in documentary form. It seems, though, that this lacuna is compensated for by the historical chronicles of other peoples.   The Chronicles of Other Peoples Altogether, at approximate intervals of 600–700 years, several explosions or, rather, a whole complex of events including the precursors, took place. All these occurrences were painstakingly recorded in epic poetry, traditions and legends. It is a curious fact that similar legends arose in the equatorial zone of the planet, where explosions or "giant fireballs" that suddenly appeared in the sky destroyed several centers of ancient civilizations. Judging by the results of archaeological investigations carried out in the Upper Viliuy region by S. A. Fedoseyeva, the intermittent, wave-like settlement of this territory can be traced back roughly to the fourth millennium BC. In the first millennium AD, the line of historical development is interrupted—and this does not contradict the possible date for the last historical explosion as September 1380. The cloud it raised blotted out the Sun over Europe for several hours. In several geo-active zones, powerful earthquakes took place. This event is recorded in written sources. In Russian chronicles, it coincided with the Battle of Kulikovo Field: "…the gloom dispersed only in the second half of the day. A wind of such strength blew, that an arrow shot from a bow could not fly against it…" This factor made a positive contribution to the Russian victory. However, the explosions are described in Tungus legends far more vividly than in other sources. Judging by the accounts, they were many times worse than modern nuclear weapons. If we take 1380 as our starting date and go back into the past, we can trace such moments. In 830, for example, the culture of the Mayans who inhabited the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico was destroyed. Many of their cities were reduced to ruins by an explosion of monstrous force. Some passages in the Bible are akin to the Yakut legends, e.g., the description of the plagues of Egypt and the demise of Sodom and Gomorrah. In one of the oases of the Arabian Peninsula, an ancient town was destroyed and literally reduced to ashes. According to legend, this took place when a huge fireball that appeared in the sky exploded. At Mohenjo-daro on the Indian subcontinent, archaeologists discovered a devastated city. The marks of the catastrophe—melted stone walls—clearly pointed to an explosion comparable with a nuclear bomb. Similar events are also described in Chinese chronicles from the 14th century. They say that, far to the north, a black cloud rose above the horizon and covered half the sky, scattering large fragments of stone. Stones also dropped from the sky in Scandinavia and Germany, where fire broke out in several towns. Scholars established that they were quite ordinary stones, and conjectured that a volcano had erupted somewhere. Perhaps the cause of these misfortunes was really Tong Duurai who has been bursting out from under the ground for many centuries? While Niurgun Bootur blotted out half of the sky at his appearance, Tong Duurai considerably exceeded him in size and, ascending into the heavens, completely disappeared from view. We note that in the Valley of Death, a rise in the background radiation is observed at certain intervals of time—a phenomenon that specialists can’t explain. ·       See also the interview with Valery Uvarov by Graham Birdsall ·       Continued next issue ...

How old is the universe?

How old is the Universe and when will we collide with Andromeda?

There was no big bang. The Universe is an endless process of regeneration where galaxies eat each other and time is forever.

If you believe Einstein then the faster you travel through space the more time slows down. If you were to enter a black hole which a place where gravity is so powerful it overcomes photons speeding along at the speed of light then time would stop altogether. If you were to leave our galaxy and slow down below the 11-milllion miles per hour that we currently travel around our Galaxy then time would speed up. If that is the case then everything you see out there with a powerful telescope would have been made yesterday. Something is wrong with this picture…

I am still not convinced that there was a big bang for a number of reasons. The newest space telescopes are now seeing galaxies out to 14 billion light years and they seem to be speeding away from us at increasing velocities nearing the speed of light. For all we know photons might rund down and shift to the red after traveling 14-billion light years. We just don’t know. The Big Bang theory is probably a religious manifestation of reality.

In fact, the Big Bang theory was invented by the Catholic Church. “What!” you say. “I though Edwin Hubble invented the Big Bang theory.” Well, that’s not quite correct. A Catholic monk, George Lemaitre, first proposed the Big Bang theory in 1927. American, Edwin Hubble published the idea in 1929 two years after the Catholic Church grabbed onto the idea. It was Hubble that attached the mathematics to the idea in an attempt to make sense of it. The Catholics invented the idea to unite the Biblical idea of creation with science at the time. You can’t make something out of nothing. The fundamental laws of physics specifically state this of in order to explain the creation of all matter in the universe in an instant from an infinitesimally-small, microscopic point you have to have an event with infinite energy. The Catholic Church endorsed the Big Bang Theory because it fit the Biblical creation paradigm, that there is an infinite God or YHWH.

After Hubble published the theory the Church heralded it as proof that the bible was scientifically accurate and “Divine Truth.” Scholars have been debating the validity of this theory for decades.

Then there is the fact that as we (our sun) travels through space while orbiting the galaxy we encounter very old red dwarf stars. These are burn’t out crisps so old that they could possibly be left over from prevous big bangs. One of these stars is Banard’s Star 5.88 light years to the northwest coming toward us at 14.5 kilometers per second.

All elements decay only it take any billions of years for uranium to turn into lead. All the heavy elements above iron are created in stellar explosions. The number of heavy elements on the surface of the Earth convinces me that the cosmos is very very old. First of all a star has to evolve and cook for billions of years until it burns off all the hydrogen. Then the helium starts to burn and finally after billions more years it will swell up into a giant red or shrink down into a white dwarf. Sometimes the explosion is so violent that the star will shrink down into a neutron star or even a black hole. All this takes time—impossible measures of time. If we knew more we could determine the age of any planet by the carious compositions of elements in the crust. A younger planet would have less time to collect heavy elements.

They built the Panama Canal with black diamonds. The cutting tools used to slice through the rock were made of black diamonds. Large black diamonds can only come from space. A red dwarf is too hot to make black diamonds and stars are definitely too hot so the only other explanation is that they came from black dwarfs and cooked away for billions and billions of years to make diamond crystals one meter wide. The simple fact that black diamonds exist is partial proof that black dwarfs exist.

NewScientistSpace http://www.nsls.bnc.gov

Black diamond found in only a few places on Earth may have crashed down from space in a kilometre-sized rock, according to new research.

The diamonds, also called carbonado, are only found in Brazil and the Central African Republic. Unlike other diamonds, they are made of millions of diamond crystals that are stuck together.

They are also porous, which is a puzzle. Scientists say it would have been difficult for gas to become trapped in rocks at depths of about 200 kilometres below the Earth's surface. The intense pressure there turns carbon into conventional diamonds.

"This is the feature that first led some of us to think, well, perhaps there has to be a different alternative," says Stephen Haggerty, a geologist at Florida International University in Miami, US, and an author of the new study.

Because carbonado diamonds have only been found in two places and never in traditional diamond fields, some scientists suspected they crashed to Earth from space.

Haggerty believes they came from a large, diamond-bearing asteroid that may have fallen to Earth billions of years ago, when the planet and the Moon were being heavily bombarded by space rocks. Carbonado has been dated to be between 2.6 billion and 3.8 billion years old.

At that time, South America and Africa were one land mass, which could account for the diamonds showing up on two continents today, Haggerty told New Scientist.

He and his colleagues believe the diamonds have ancient, rather exotic origins, forming around a star other than the Sun. Using an infrared synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, US, they found hydrogen in the carbonado that indicates the diamonds came from hydrogen-rich interstellar space.

The diamond dust from which they formed may have been released when a star exploded in a supernova billions of years ago.

The diamond dust then became part of the cloud of gas and dust from which our solar system condensed. Over time, it coalesced into larger clumps that became embedded in asteroids "like plums in pudding", Haggerty says.

The new spectral measurements of the carbonado closely resemble those of other diamonds found in meteorites, as well as diamonds seen in space (see The night sky really is studded with diamonds) Journal reference: Astrophysical Journal Letters (vol 653, p 153)

BIG BANG DOES NOT CONTRADICT CREATION

If the Big Bang theory is a reality, according to my reasoning it does not contradict the Biblical six-day creation theory. Say for example, if God were going to set off a firecracker big enough to create everything he would need at lease a couple days head-start to get his spaceship up to light speed before it went off. This might keep him ahead of the blast just far enough to survive because he would be traveling at 99.9999 percent the speed of light and his time would be slowed down to nothing.

Our present knowledge of physics dictates that 12 to 13 billion years will have passed while God traveling near the speed of light only experienced a time elapse of three days. He would have had to set the charge just right to create third dimensional matter. One way of doing this would be to create lots of ORME atoms first which he could control with his brain waves. Then he would use these particles to transmute the necessary elements to support life in all it various forms.

During the 12 to 14 billion years of time matter was supposed to have expanded, destroying and recreated again into its present state God would have had to regulate this process with brain waves. It would take God another day or so to slow down from light speed, find a suitable world or worlds, and push them into the correct orbits to support life. Then he would have to find a moon to regulate the life cycles and get somebody to man it. Hence “The Man in The Moon.” Then he would have to take off again to put a few billion more worlds into orbits everywhere. Finally on the sixth day he would come back to find a world teeming with life (dinosaurs) of every description. Then he would have to put hunters down there with big guns to kill off the dinosaurs.

The oxygen levels would have to be high enough to support animal life so obviously he would have to put in orbit near a white dwarf star so that the phytoplankton and diatoms would do their job of mopping up the CO2 releasing oxygen for so-called higher life forms to breathe. God would then have to kill off most of the animal life that is harmful to man and then create the first man to have dominion over what he created. The easiest and most cost effective way to do this is to divert a meteor into the Earth. Obviously, God had lots of deck-hands or helpers (Angels) to do this.

By this time, advanced civilizations throughout the Universe and planets in other galaxies would have had a much longer time to evolve and be capable of space travel. They would have come to earth many times in the past to help mankind evolve. The latest data shows that man’s DNA is a composite of 22 different alien species. We have lots of relatives out there!

They came down here and took some chimpanzee DNA, mixed in 22 of their own specie and turned them loose to see if they would kill each other off. This was done to eliminate a galactic war. We do the fighting why they stand back and bet on the contestants.

Einstein, being a member of the Christian-Jewish community was forced to go along with the Big Bang theory but he had his reservations. He wondered where the energy came from in the first place. There was no way he could explain an infinitely small space creating enough energy to make everything. Then when you get into expansion theory science turns into science fiction.

There is no way mankind can advance when he lets religion dictate what is real and not real. Mankind will never discover the true meaning of God when he forces his own ideas upon reality. If he is allowed to persist in this fruitless endeavor he will never discover the truth.

So, when did time begin? In Scientific American May 2004 issue: “Science does not have a conclusive answer yet, but at least two potentially testable theories plausibly hold that the universe-and therefore time-existed well before the “big bang” (I don’t think there was one). If either scenario is right, the cosmos has always been in existence and, even if it re-collapses one day, it will never end.”

“Current measurements suggest that, I about 3-billion years, the Milky Way and Andromeda may collide.” –John Dubendki Hayden Planetarium University of Toronto, Canada. This is more evidence that there is no such thing as a big bang forcing the universe to expand. Galaxies wouldn’t be colliding if they are getting further apart!

If the Universe is expanding then why are galaxies colliding? Shouldn’t they be getting further apart? The huge number of colliding galaxies thrown another monkey wrench into the big bang theory. Einstein wasn’t completely convinced that there is such a thing as a big bang but he went along with it to placate the status quo. To read more of Einstein’s ideas on this subject and others read my book, Cosmological Ice Ages. www.GuardDogBooks.com & www.AlaskaPublishing.com
