 ok, the stuff about the rapid formation of the rock layers that became the canyons of north america, are actually perfectly science

i was hoping i'd hear something to the effect of "the oceans boiled over and flooded onto the earth" and sure enough this scientist says so

i'm still quite sure the great flood was 12800 years ago, and 6400 years ago was the events of the colapse of the tower of Babel and the fire burning sodom and gomorrah

there is other evidence surrounding these other events

in The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya they posit the theory it was meteors but that actually doesn't really make sense and is very unlikely

much more likely is that something caused the ocean to get punted over the sea... a pole shift, and epic geomagnetic disaster and seismic and volcanic activity and extreme cloud formation due to earth lacking its normal level of magnetic shielding

 yeah, this is all in line with what Ben from Suspicious Observers says, about how every 6400 years there is a massive catastrophe, and some are worse than others

i sit each day with the view of a massive 1200m tall mountain beside me, and i have traveled around a bit in the local area and seen how fast it appears that the collapse is actually occurring

it seems impossible to me after what i see, that the current landscape looked at all like this even just 1000 years ago, it is really clear that the stone (mostly basalt) here has decayed and crumbled into the valley and that it is entirely possible that this entire island has only in fact been here maybe 6400 years and it was formed during the last disaster

which is leading me to think some more

why does it say in genesis about the ages of the people being so great, i mean, enoch, methuselah, even adam lived over 600 years, how can this reckoning match up with what we see today with lifespans under 100 years

however, if the Lord and the Satan and all the Angels were in fact these type of human that have long since been on vacation colonising other places in the galaxy, and their genetics were that different, this steady loss of longevity actually makes sense

anyhow, continuing, i'm not hating what i'm watching here at all, it's just adding more details to teh picture i've been building up
