Basically nomads. Not an option for people who have extended families, unless you can get the entire family to join you. We have half the family on each side of the ocean and it keeps us broke, flying back and forth every year or two.
history has cycles, we are in another war phase and nomads have the best chances of survival, because the inertia of social obligations is how they slaughter so many people in wars the future belongs to those who don't go down with the ship my obligation only is to obey God and to follow Jesus, everything else is man-made
The future belongs to those with offspring.
that only requires two people... viz Noah
Noah didn't raise his children alone with his wife. They were all married adults, when they entered the ark.
Noah's offspring must have been very un-stubborn or just into their late 30s to get back on board with the crazy Dad.
They were probably just humoring him and were surprised by the rain.
there is also the possibility that there was literal angels, giant hybrid man/angel types of 20' stature, and that Noah really was like - what does it say, 400 or something? i haven't got a satisfactory theory yet for the strange longevity numbers in these old texts, the conventional ratio theories just don't quite work for me, and when you understand what a pole shift does to the landscape the "no stone left upon another" imagery suddenly comes into focus is it possible that humans did literally live into their multi-hundreds at one time, and due to the degradation of DNA and adoption of sugar based diets the lifespan decreased to what was warned about after the expulsion from the Garden? it would be very difficult to guess at all, as it is genetic science is still pretty nascent and longevity is not well understood, we at best have an estimate that 150 years is possible with current knowledge with optimal treatment and if all the fossils they know about were literally buried as little as 6000 or maybe 12000 years ago, and everything else before that is entirely lost, and these examples are extremely rare cases, then all bets are off, if you ask me can't say yes or no, only that there is stories, and that hypothetically it is possible, given the right genes that we are not aware of
Hi Stella, hast Du irgendwo Bibelzusammenfassungen gepostet?Ich fand das interessant, aber finds es auf Nostr nicht mehr...
Was für Zusammenfassungen? Ein Aufsatz oder...?
Wie eine zusammenfassung einzelner kapitel auf Englisch. Bin dann aber eingeschlafen und finds es nicht mehr...
We actually know a lot of people (including ourselves) who ended up moving back home from overseas. And many people who are listed as "Germans leaving Germany" are not ethnic Germans. Their home countries, like Poland or wherever, have improved and they go back.
i'm from australia, only my third-degree separated ancestors are from other places, namely indonesia, netherlands, germany i was told by a dude in prison that there is people with my family name in the city of Bonn, so i guess probably also some in Dortmund and Essen and Koln... my opa grew up in Apeldoorn, which is nearby my dutch relatives are all crazy and my mother's side of the family traces back to convicts and i hate the british isles, and ireland, with a passion, have spent 2 years too many there i'm one of those people whose roots have been torn several times over and that is probably typical for this "nomad" type you talk about evil has stolen from us a sense of roots and a place
