The bottom line is that we cannot know exactly what the pre-flood world was like because the evidence of it was mostly destroyed. However, through Scripture, and what little we can examine on earth, we can get an idea of what things may have been like.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
-2 Peter 3:3-6
|
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
-2 Peter 3:7
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
-Isaiah 66:22
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
-2 Peter 3:13
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
-Genesis 1:1
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
-Genesis 1:2-3
Although this was the creation of light itself, it is interesting that in 1934, it was discovered that light can be created from sound waves in water through a process that was named "sonoluminescence." The sound waves cause the bubbles in the fluid to implode (collapse rapidly), which, for some unknown reason, emits light. Using this process on multiple bubbles at one, as is shown in the image, is called "multi-bubble sonoluminescence." |
"As an indicator of how research on sonoluminescence has accelerated, I have 400 articles in the 56 years from 1934 to 1990, and no less than 500 articles in the 11 years from 1990 to 2001, and the pace shows no signs of slackening... There has been an avalanche of papers on sonoluminescence... The mystery of where the light comes from has proved a fertile field for PhD students all over the world...Two major questions still remain to be completely unanswered: What exactly is going on in the bubble? [And] How exactly is the light produced? "
-F. Ronald Young, Sonoluminescence, CRC Press, 2004, p. 207, ISBN: 9780203491959
It's possible that the Lord God created light through water originally, but there is not enough details in the Bible to know for sure. What we do know for sure is that He named night and day from this light, and that was the first day recorded in history.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
-Genesis 1:6
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
-Genesis 1:7
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
-Genesis 1:8
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
-Gen 1:20
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
-Deuteronomy 4:19
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
-2 Corinthians 12:2
Now that we know the firmament is the atmosphere, let's go back and read the verse one more time:
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
-Genesis 1:7
(Read "501c3: The Devil's Church" here at creationliberty.com for more details on a mere fraction of Ham's leaven, and why Christians should sanctify themselves from his organization until he repents.)
Speaking of leavened creation ministries, most of them use new-age versions in their teachings. Ephesians tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ is the creator of all things, which means He and the Lord God are one:
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Using a new-age version leaves a Christian with less ammunition to fight against the heresies of the world, and other pagan religions (like Mormonism) who claim the false doctrine that Christ had to be created. |
Water above the atmosphere of our planet would have many significant and fascinating effects that the average evolutionist would never be willing to consider, let alone understand.
Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
-Job 6:16
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
-Job 24:19
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
-Psalm 148:8
Just as the plural "heavens" mentioned in the Bible can refer to three different types of space that God had divided, so too the plural "waters" can refer to all forms of water, solid, liquid, and/or gas. There are some people out there that may argue for a gas or liquid layer above the atmosphere, which is certainly possible with the Lord God, but in this article, I will be taking the position that it was a solid layer of ice, and as I said at the start, this is completely theoretical, but I will give my reasonings for it. |
Although I have not yet written an article on it yet, the global warming hoax (just like evolution) is a flat-out lie without any proper scientific evidence to back it up. The general theme that keeps being portrayed is that the world will heat up, ice caps will melt, and it will flood the world, but God's Word demonstrates this to be another lie because God told Noah and his family:
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
|
A layer of mist and water would generally prevent mankind from seeing the stars, and it would block out the moon and sun. But a layer of ice would create a window to see into the night sky, which is why the Bible talks about the windows of heaven being opened at the start of the flood:
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
-Genesis 7:11
Although mist or water could be upheld by the power of the Lord God, we see a system by which He set in motion and maintains by natural laws He created. The ice canopy would be upheld by those natural laws through something called the "meissner effect."
When ice becomes extremely cold, like with liquid nitrogen, which is around -330°F in liquid form, it takes on magnetic properties. In the vacuum of space, heat is not naturally transfered because there are no air molecules to transfer the energy, so temperatures of objects, like water molecules, can reach -460°F, which is more commonly known as "absolute zero." Under extremely cold conditions, the ice canopy would have a magnetic effect that would be strong enough to be held in place around the earth's magnetic field.
Some of you who may be familiar with this subject might look at other teachers, like geologist Walter Brown, and his book In The Beginning, in which he denies that there was a canopy at all. In his book, he does not give any scientific reasoning for it, he simply doesn't believe that an ice canopy could exist up there, and the section he has explaning it is incredibly short and vague, consisting of only two sentences claiming it would not survive the heat of ultraviolet radiation.
(See Walter Brown, In The Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood, 8th Edition, 2008, p. 365, ISBN: 9781878026095; Although he is very intelligent in the realm of geology, I urge Christians to be cautious of Brown's work because he is leavened, using the corrupt NASB in his book and has 501c3 incorporated status, just to name a couple.)
One of the mistakes Brown makes is his assumption that the canopy consisted of nothing but H2O, but we don't know that. Carl Baugh has suggested that there may have been various metal particles mixed into the water:
"[T]he firmament is held to be localized as a |
This is only one of many options, including another theory using "warm ice" that was discovered back in 2005 by applying a small spark to conductive metals in water:
"Chemists at Korea’s National University trapped microscopic layers of water between two layers of a conductive material (gold in this instance) with an energy source equal to the spark generated by taking off a wool sweater.The water molecules froze to a crystalline solid at room temperature. "

With new, unknown compounds being discovered, it is foolish for Chrsitians to assume there was no canopy simply because they cannot currently explain it. When God's Word tells us something like that existed at the time, we should trust Him first and foremost over our own understanding.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
-Proverbs 3:5
"Water reflects up to 100% of UV radiation. "
-University Health Services, "Sun Safety," UC Berkeley, April, 2005, retrieved June 17, 2015, [uhs.berkeley.edu/home/healthtopics/sunsafety.shtml]
This doesn't mean that UV rays cannot penetrate water, because only about 1/3 of UV rays are blocked by the first 12 inches of water (clouds, for example, also only block about 1/3 of UV rays), but if you go a bit deeper in the water, almost all UV rays are blocked. This is why you can't just spray yourself with some water and be UV protected; the water layer must be thick enough to block it out. Depending on the thickness of the water, and on the metallic substances that may have been in it, this canopy would block the UV radiation we normally suffer everyday.
I have read/heard evolutionists make arguments for the non-existence of God, claiming that if God were real, He wouldn't have given the octopus a better eye. For example: "I hear a lot that god made us perfect. An example given is the human eye. Our eyes are not perfect, one of it's faults is that it has a Blind Spot. The eye of an octopus doesn't have this problem.

The reason older folks have wrinkles is due to daily exposure to UV radiation, which, over time, causes other bodily functions to begin to deteriorate, which shortens our life spans. When we're young, our body heals the daily damage, but after a time, we can no longer keep up with damage control. However, with a canopy shield over the earth, we would not get those harmful rays everyday, which would allow us not only to live longer, but also maintain a youthful healthy look for most of our extended lives. |

Some of you may have seen the movie Jurassic Park that was based on a fictional concept of retrieving dinosaur dna from the blood of mosquitoes trapped in amber, which is dried tree sap that is extremely hard and resilient. Even though the movie was fiction, what is fact is that pockets of air have been trapped in amber, and under scientific analysis, they have been found to contain 50% more oxygen than our atmosphere averages today.
"Dinosaurs, it seems, may have breathed easier than we do. Indeed, at a meeting of the Geological Society of America in Phoenix last week, two scientists stunned colleagues by reporting that 80 million years ago, theearth's atmosphere contained about 50% more oxygen than it does now . Geochemists Gary Landis of the U.S. Geological Survey and Robert Berner of Yale reached their startling conclusion afteranalyzing tiny air bubbles trapped in bits of amber , the aged and solidified resin of coniferous trees."
-Time Magazine, "Science: Putting On Ancient Airs," Nov 9, 1987, p. 82, retrieved June 18, 2015, [content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,965924,00.html]
These evolutionists are putting ages like 80 million years due to some amber pockets being found in, and around, coal seams, and according to the Biblical model, coal was formed after the flood under heat and pressure, which means these amber samples are coming from the pre-flood world. Our atmosphere is currently made up of about 21% oxygen, but before the flood, these experiments would indicate it was over 30% oxygen, which still does not seem to be enough to keep an 80-ft dinosaur alive.
However, with an ice canopy around the planet, you can now create a hyperbaric oxygen condition, or in other words, oxygen under pressure. In the past couple of decades, a lot of experimentation has been done with healing people of numerous illness and injury, simply by putting them in pressurized oxygen conditions.
Carl Baugh gives his testimony about his wife's healing in hyperbaric conditions:
BAUGH: "One day, we went in, my wife was wheeled in the wheel chair... just before going into two atmospheres of pressure with enriched oxygen, Dr. Fife looked down and said, 'What's that on your foot?' My wife said, 'Oh, I dropped some hot water on it yesterday. It'll be alright.' He said, 'That's oozing. That's an open wound.' She said, 'I know it, but it'll be alright.' He said, 'We'll take care of it.'... |
The University of Tennessee Health Sceience Center in Chattanooga boasts of it's highly certified hyperbarics facility, in which they providing healing for patients through oxygen under pressure. In the past, these types of facilities have only been located along coastal regions, used in emergencies for divers who gets the bends (or decompression sickness, from divers descending and ascending too quickly), but as more and more people are discovering its overall healing properties, hyperbaric facilties are moving more inland and getting incredible results, like those shown in the picture of a healed foot injury posted on their website:
Many clinics around the world are starting to use hyperbaric oxygen chambers in therapy:
"The increased oxygen dissolves in your blood during hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and circulates throughout your body.Oxygen-rich blood stimulates your body to release substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. "

"Scientists already knew that thewhite blood cells known as neutophils use oxygen to kill germs . And they knew thathigh levels of oxygen in body tissues help prevent infection and that breathing higher levels of oxygen put more oxygen into the tissues. What they did not know was whether it made a difference in patients' healing. 'This shows it's not just a theoretical benefit buta real benefit, and that it's much greater than you might have expected ,'"
-Janet McConnaughey, "Oxygen Halves Infection," Lyons Daily News, Jan 20, 2000; See also Dr. Daniel Sessler, New England Journal of Medicine, University of California at San Francisco
I once drove a Christian brother to get checked out for an illness he had, and we went to the Cole Center for Healing, where they give hyperbaric oxygen treatments to patients who sometimes travel halfway around the world to get hyperbaric therapy. We are not affiliated in any way with their clinic, but their hyperbarics supervisor, Scott Fuhr, showed us around the facility, and told me they're having amazing healing results with stroke and autistic patients.

The 80-foot tall dinosaurs could not have survived with just increased oxygen, but they would also require that oxygen to be under pressure. Our atmosphere today can't hold that kind of pressure, but with a crystalline canopy surrounding the firmament, we would have hyperbaric conditions all over the world, which would result in much more than just easier breathing and accelerated healing...

Insects breathe through little holes in their skin called "spiracles," but this also limits their size because of problem concerning surface area to volume ratio.
(Cube Surface Area: A = 6a² -- Cube Volume: V = a³)
The spiracles on insects bring oxygen to the volume, not the surface area, so to feed oxygen to the bigger volume creature, with less surface area, requires not only more oxygen, but pressurized oxygen. The conditions that would be required for these insects to exist that big would require a drastic change to the atmosphere, which even many evolutionists are beginning to recognize.

Not only breathing, but also flying becomes a problem for many creatures.
"[Pterosaurs] ranged from pigeon-sized with a wingspan of 18 inches toultralight-airplane-sized Quetzalcoatlus with a wingspan of 36–39 feet ."
-National Park Service, "Pterosaurs," retrieved June 30, 2015, [nps.gov/bibe/learn/nature/pterosaur.htm]
To get a featherless creature of an almost 40-foot wingspan into stable flight, it would require more pressure of air under its wings. It simply would not be able to fly in today's normal atmospheric conditions, and though evolutionists typically get irate with me making such statements, I'll let this evolutionist professor of physics explain it to them:
"How the Quetzalcoatlus and the rest of the pterosaurs flew would seem to be quite thescientific paradox , and yet the paleontology community continues to insist that there is no scientific paradox regarding how the pterosaurs could have flown.
The most damaging evidence refuting the position of the paleontologists is thatthey have never succeeded in getting a radio controlled model pterosaur to fly . Between 1984 and 1986 the Smithsonian gave $700,000 to the aerodynamics expert Paul MacCready for the purpose of creating a RC model demonstrating the flying ability of the Quetzalcoatlus northropi.MacCready’s team quickly realized that a full sized RC model constructed with a weight and power reasonable for this animal would not be capable of flight. So they opted for a half sized model, weighing only 44 lbs., power launched high into the air with a stabilizing tail, that could then hopefully descend gently back to the earth as it flapped its wings.
While not actually flying and not remotely close to accurately representing a Quetzalcoatlus in size and weight, it was the hope of the paleontology community that the flapping pterosaur model would at least give the appearance of flying. Howevertheir plans failed on May 17, 1986 when in front of the national media, their model RC pterosaur unceremoniously dove into the ground and broke its neck. According to the newspapers it was a ‘pterrible ptragedy’.
This is not a close call: pterosaurs could not have flown in today’s atmospheric environment. The application of aerodynamic equations show pterosaurs falling far short of meeting the requirements for obtaining flight in today’s atmosphere, and the experimental efforts using RC models provide physical evidence confirming these conclusions. It should be alarming to all scientists and science educators that some paleontologists continue to claim that they understand how pterosaurs flew when the evidence is so overwhelming in refuting their claim."

Again, this is not creationist material; this man teaches the same lies of evolution as the next person, but at least he's willing to admit the scientific brick wall of getting a pterosaur to fly through the air today. Here's the story from the New York Times:
"Sixty-five million years after nature removed the original from the face of the Earth, humans today helplessly watched a $700,000 plastic replica of a flying reptile plunge to the dust of a modern airfield...Seconds after its towline was disconnected by the flight team, the 18-foot wingspan [half-size] twisted into a nose dive . Control was briefly regained with directions from an on-board computer. Thenthe pterodactyl replica literally lost its head and plummeted to earth too rapidly for its emergency parachute to buffer the fall ."
-New York Times, "A Short Flight for an Old Bird," May 18, 1986, retrieved June 30, 2015, [nytimes.com/1986/05/18/us/a-short-flight-for-an-old-bird.html]
Simply increasing oxygen doesn't cut it; because a creature of this size and dimension requires increased pressure in a hyperbaric atmosphere, which also requires a drastic atmospheric change that is unexplanable by (and goes against) evolutionary processes.
I also pointed out earlier that creationist Walter Brown argues against the canopy, and I listened to creationist Kent Hovind talk about how he had visited with Brown for a few hours while passing through Arizona. He asked Brown specifically how he was able to solve the problems of large creatures in flight, and the surface area to volume ratio problem with insects, to which Brown responded that he hadn't been able to answer it yet, being just as stumped as the evolutionists.
With each passing decade, more fossils and skeletons of giant creatures are discovered. Beavers skulls, for example, that indicate they were twice the normal size.
"Though a matter of great interest, it is hardly possible to form a very correct estimate ofthe size of the Castoroides , almost the only data offered to us being those given by the cranium. The length of the skull of this animal is10.5 inches , and its greatest breadth7.2 inches . According to Professor Emmons, the skull of an old female beaver, measured, from the tip of the nose to the crucial ridge,4.9 inches , and its greatest width3.9 inches ... The skull of the Castoroides is thereforea little more than double the size of that of the common beaver ."
-James Hall, On the Geological Position of the Castoroides Ohioensis, The British Library, 1846, p. 18
That was written in 1846. and since then, more skulls and jaw bones have been found that indicate beavers got up to 8 feet long!
This is a rough estimate of the difference in size.

There are many more beyond this, from giant turkeys to giant sharks, but just based on these few discoveries, we can tell the pre-flood world was obviously very different than what we see today. So far, we've seen evidence of increased oxygen under pressure creating enhanced healing, easier breathing, larger animals, easier for birds to fly, enables large creatures to fly, and allows larger insects to exist. Although this is already amazing, we've only begun to scratch the surface of what is possible in hyperbaric conditions under a UV-blocking canopy...

A Japanese engineer was growing cherry tomatoes and African violets in a room with no windows (i.e. no sunlight). How is this possible?
This technology was invented by Dr. Kei Mori, who discovered he could grow plants in light fed through fiber-optic cables. Because Japan has so little space, most buildings are stacked and have a lot of basement levels, and those who live in the basement levels get very little light, but with this system, it's easy to grow plants underground.
Mori started to notice that his plant in the basement was growing much faster than normal from this fiber-optic light, and this was because he did not realize the light he was giving to his plants had most of the ultraviolet radiation blocked out. Mori took this a step further to block nearly all UV light and infrared radiation plants normally suffer by building a spherical solar collector with some special filters.
"Sun-tracking solar collectors are in acrylic capsules thatfilter out some of the ultraviolet rays . Fresnel lenses concentrate the sunlight and separate the focal points of the different wavelengths,preventing most of the remaining UV, plus about 60 percent of the infrared radiation, from entering the fiber-optic cable. Mostly visible light is thus transported. "
-V. Elaine Gilmore, "Sunflower Over Tokyo," Popular Science, Vol. 232, No. 5, May, 1988, p. 75, ISSN: 0161-7370; Image from same source.
Mori first thought lack of radiation would harm the plants:
"'At first I thought that eliminating the other rays would be detrimental,' notes Mori, 'but actually there are advantages.' For one, little heat is transmitted because much of the infrared is blocked. Andbecause most of the ultraviolet is blocked, this sunlight does not fade fabrics or damage skin. In fact, the filtered sunlight can promote healing , Mori claims. It has helped rheumatism sufferers and has speeded the healing of bed sores, according to the inventor. Nowtwo university hospitals in Tokyo are conducting controlled experiments to test its health benefits ."

Today, this technology is still being implemented in Japanese food sales:
"Daiei,Japan's biggest supermarket chain, has installed a factory farm next to its store in the Tokyo suburb of Fanabashi. This experimental facility, constructed in co-operation with Hitachi Ltd. to grow lettuce for sale in the adjoining supermarket, may be the world's first commercial factory farm using full automatic hydroponic culture technology.The system produces some 130 heads of lettuce and other green vegetables per day (some 47,000 per year) on afloor space of no more than 66 square metres. Grown from seed, the lettuce is big enough for harvesting in only five weeks, 3.5 times faster than plants cultivated using conventional methods. "

Before he died in 1990, Mori added a pressurized CO2 device to his 'hydroscopic cultivation system,' which is like hyperbarics for plants, increasing and pressurizing CO2. Mori never realized that he created a preflood atmosphere for his plants, blocking out harmful radiation, and pressurizing the air, with extra oxygen (CO2 in this case for plants).
I've read some evolutionist skeptics that have claimed that Mori never used pressurized CO2 in these processes. They make these claims, simply because they hate it when something creationists predict turns out to work very well. However the hydroscopic cultivation system has been patented, and we need not look any further than the patent itself to see that he did indeed use pressurized CO2 in his sytem, which is still being used by farmers, biologists, and engineers today.

Under these conditions, it is very difficult to imagine what the world may have been like before the flood, but the food supply would have been incalculable. But to help us get an idea, let's look at some of the incredible results of "Sonic Bloom," which Dan Carlson discovered by experimenting with playing classical music to his crops.
According to their website, reports have come back showing that just by playing frequencies that resemble bird songs (along with nutrient-treated soil), orange tree seedlings have started to bear fruit at about 8 months old, and the oranges have been good on the shelf for up to five months. Cucumbers matured from seedlings to harvest in about 40 days, and produced 7,600 lbs of cucumbers from 500 seeds, with their biggest problem having to pick them quickly and early or else they wouldn't fit in the boxes for shipping.

Our ministry has no affiliation with this company; I'm just showing the results so you can see for yourself. Carlson himself made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest plant (purple passion vine over 1300 feet) and held that record until 1990. (I don't know if it's true, but I heard his children were playing around with it and got it caught in a ceiling fan.)
This chart shows the controlled study of black walnut trees grown with and without Sonic Bloom treatment:
A gardener from northern Minnesota (near the Canadian border) said she was never able to grow cantaloupes where she lives until she started using Sonic Bloom, and then she had more cantaloupes than she knew what to do with. She also claims to have canned 40 bushels of tomatoes, and gave away so many bushels, she lost count.

The substance they offer through their business is a high-concentrated blast of minerals and vitamins made from seaweed, and after playing the bird-frequency music to them for about ten minutes to open the stomata, they instruct to spray a watered down mist of this minerals and vitamin concentrate onto the plants leaves (top and bottom). What Dan Carlson (and his son who now runs their business) did not realize is that he was creating another pre-flood condition.
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
-Genesis 2:5-6
We often assume that the pre-flood world was like our own, but let's drop that presupposition for a moment. A flood takes earth (dirt, rocks, soil) of all kinds and mixes them together, which is why many of us have to buy things like fertilized top soil in order to grow plants; not every plant will grow in every type of dirt, and some require specific nutrients to thrive.
When the Lord God created the world, obviously he was not ignorant of what plants needed what nutrients, and it would be silly for us to assume He did not create the world setup with the minerals of the earth in a particular order to allow the mist to carry these nutrients directly to them. I made the following diagram to help give the reader a better idea of what I'm describing:
The Lord God had also not yet caused it to rain on the earth, which may indicate that there were not terrible thunderstorms and weather problems that destroy a lot of crops today. If we take the misting out of the ground with minerals and nutrients sent directly to the stomata of plants for increased growth, apply it to an atmosphere of increased oxygen (CO2 for plants) under pressure, with radiation from the sun blocked by an overhead canopy, the amount of growth and food supply worldwide would be almost unimaginable.
uniformitarian (adj): of or relating to the thesis that processes that operated in the remote geological past are not different from those observed now But Evolutionism's uniformitarianism is not just stupid, it's also deceptive, as the leader of the National Center for Science Education demonstrates in a live debate. Eugenia Scott said:
Again, the Bible warned us people come walking after their own lusts and being willingly ignorant of the world before the flood:
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts... they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: The main reason the scoffers reject sound reasoning is because they wish to remain willing ignorant of the most important event coming soon:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Read "How to Talk About Atheism" here at creationliberty.com for more details.) |
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
-Genesis 8:22
It is my personal belief that the Lord God sent something to strike the earth, which caused the fountains of the deep to break open, which is why we have fault lines running across the earth today.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
-Genesis 7:11
However, before the flood, that tilt would not have existed, which would mean the earth was spinning perpendicular, and that would leave us with spring-time weather all year round. (A bit warmer at the equator, and a bit colder at the top and bottom.) |
George Dodwell, Australian mathematician and governing Astronomer for the Adelaide Observatory (which he held from 1909 to 1952), gathered testimonies of calculations done on the position of the sun and shadows over 4,000 years to estimate the wobble of the earth's axis and how it has changed slowly. Dodwell had also presupposed that something large had struck the earth to cause the flood of Noah. After many years of research, he concluded, based on the historical timeline and charts of the sun's position in the sky, that something struck the earth about 2345 B.C.
(See George F. Dodwell, "The Obliquity of the Ecliptic," retrieved July 11, 2015, [http://www.setterfield.org/Dodwell_Manuscript_1.html]
It should also be noted that the Lord God created the earth for mankind to inhabit:
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
-Isaiah 45:18
As I stated before, we don't have much to tell us what the world was like before the flood, but the names give some indication. The names in Genesis geneology, for example, are rather interesting.
NAME | MEANING |
ADAM | man |
SETH | appointed |
ENOS | mortal |
CAINAN | sorrow |
MAHALALEEL | the blessed god |
JARED | shall come down |
ENOCH | teaching |
METHUSELAH | his death shall bring |
LAMECH | despairing |
NOAH | comfort |
Combining these together, they form a sentence that tells us that "Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow, [but] the Blessed God shall come down teaching His death shall bring [to the] despairing comfort." (Not the comfort being despairing, but bringing comfort unto the despairing.) Unlike today in America where we typically name our children based on what sounds appealing to us, they named their children based on meaning.
A few generations after the flood, two children of Eber were given peculiar names:
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
-Genesis 10:25
It is quite probably that the Lord God created the land to be inhabited with mostly land and some bodies of water scattered about, that was fertile and inhabitable for mankind, but the worldwide flood destroyed most of the real estate. After the flood, the waters receded back into the foundations of the deep.
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
-Psalm 104:6-8
"Native Americans along the Pacific Coast and aboriginal Siberians may have both originated frompopulations living on the land bridge now submerged under the Bering Strait, a new language analysis suggests."
-Tia Ghose, "Native Americans' Ancestors God Stuck On Land Bridge On Way To Americas, New Research Suggests," Huffington Post: Science, Mar 15, 2014, retrieved July 16, 2015, [huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/15/language-native-americans-colonized-americas_n_4955816.html]; Image from same source.
That may explain why Eber named his children "divide" and "shorten" after what was happening to the world at that time. People living in these areas had to decide which side they wanted to live on, and could not contend with the oncoming tide.
So we now have hyperbaric oxygen (and CO2 for plants) under a canopy which blocks out most (if not all) harmful radiation, under pressure which makes it easier to breathe and allows for larger creatures, in many times more land mass than we have today in the world, with spring-time wheather all year long. It's now becoming difficult to imagine how the world would have looked, but it certainly helps us understand why there is so much fossil fuel in the crust of the earth.

Many scoffers will argue that early man did not have knowledge to produce iron tools, but this is simply not true:

"On January 10, 1949, Robert Nordling sent a photograph of an iron cup to Frank L. Marsh of Andrews University, in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Nordling wrote: 'I visited a friend's museum in southern Missouri. Among his curios, he had the iron cup pictured on the enclosed snapshot.' At the private museum, the iron cup had been displayed along with the following affidavit, made by Frank J. Kenwood in Sulphur Springs, Arkansas, onNovember 27, 1948: 'While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Okla. in 1912, I came upon a solid chunk of coal which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression or mould of the pot in the piece of coal. Jim Stall (an employee of the company) witnessed the breaking of the coal, and aw the pot fall out. I traced the source of the coal, and found that it came from the Wilburton, Oklahoma, Mines.' According to Robert O. Fay of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the Wilburton mine coal is [dated by evolutionists at] about 312 million years old."

Many such artifacts have been found, but are typically thrown out of almost all evolutionist literature because, after all, these findings directly contradicts their religious beliefs. One curator of a museum found out the hard way that you don't dare cross the cult of Evolutionism, and this book was written by evolutionists:
"[T]he primary point we are trying to make... that there exists in the scientific community a knowledge filter that screens out unwelcome evidence. This process ofknowledge filtration has been going on for well over a century and continues to the present day... there also appear to be cases of more direct suppression. In the early 1950s, Thomas E. Lee of the National Museum of Canada foundadvanced stone tools in glacial deposits at Sheguiandah, on Manitoulin Island in northern Lake Huron. Geologist John Sanford of Wayne State University argued thatthe oldest Sheguiandah tools were at least 65,000 years old and might be as much as 125,000 years old. For those adhering to standard views on North American prehistory, such ages were unacceptable.Humans supposedly first entered North America from Siberia about 12,000 years ago ... The site's discoverer [Lee] was hounded from his Civil Service position into prolonged unemployment; publication outlets were cut off; the evidence was misrepresented by severaal prominent authors... the tons of artifacts vanished into storage bins of the National Museum of Canada;for refusing to fire the discoverer, the Director of the National Museum , who had proposed having a monograph on the site published,was himself fired and driven into exile ... [today' the site has been turned into a tourist resort...Sheguiandah would have forced embarrassing admissions... It would have forced the rewriting of almost every book in the business. It had to be killed. It was killed."
-Michael A. Cremo & Richard L. Thomspon, The Hidden History of the Human Race, Aware Journalism, 1999, ISBN: 9780892133253
Evolutionists all over the internet do their best to disregard these findings, but in reality, many of them want these discoveries quickly buried. They're often called OOP-Art, which is short for "Out-Of-Place-Artifact," which is a silly name because they're only out-of-place for the evolution model -- the Biblical model has no problem with them.
For those of us not blinded by religious presuppositions of Evolutionism, we can investigate some really interesting discoveries:
"'There was an exciting discovery in 1934 of a |
Therefore, it had to be natural circumstances under which this ancient hammer was forged because of the elemental constituencyrequiring complete elimination of ultraviolet radiation . This artifact confirms that ancient man had extensive knowledge of metallurgy and used metal tools before the Flood.'"
-David Balsiger, Miraculous Messages, ReadHowYouWant.com, 2011, p. 21-22, ISBN: 9781458795359; It was either 1934 or 1936 when it was discovered; multiple sources have said both dates.
There are some discrepancies that need to be noted here for those of you who have heard of this hammer. First, it was discovered by Max E. Hahn and Emma Z. Hahn, and it is unknown to me why he is referred to as "Frank." (Perhaps a nickname?) Second, it is not clear exactly which era the rock is said to have been dated, because multiple sources (both creation and evolutionist) have claimed age ranges from 150-500 million years, but that being said, it's actually irrelevant because it still doesn't match the evolutionary timeline.
There are evolutionist objections to the hammer discovery out there, but based on what I've read so far, it's mostly complaints about the inaccurate details, and some disagreement between creationist organizations on the matter, rather than actual research and experimentation being done by the skeptics. Typically, the scoffing atheists points out that the hammer encased rock was not actually embedded into the rock bed where it was found, which is true (and even Carl Baugh admits this for those of you creationists out there who want to object), but one of the points I noticed that is typically overlooked in evolutionist resources is that the wooden handle of the hammer was partially coalified, which means it has to be compacted under heat and pressure that would only come from a rock bed, so even though they found it detached from the rock bed, it had to have been under such pressure at one point.
Max and Emma's son, George, went on to be a professor at Ohio State University, and according to the testimony of Carl Baugh, the hammer was sent to Battelle Laboratories (a couple blocks from where I used to live), which is a highly respected lab in the U.S., and after their analysis, it was found to be very highly advanced metallurgy. Some evolutionist sources also claim the outer part of the hammer is rusted, but that's not rust; it's char (i.e. remains of light gases and tar).
I would like to provide more detailed documentation, so I contacted Battelle Laboratories, and a representative got back with me and informed me that they are unable to provide any details about the experiment because they are contractually bound by law to keep the details and results private. This goes for all their clients. However, I did at least get confirmation that there was an experiement done there on the hammer, so my last resort is to contact Carl Baugh's office directly, which I did in July of 2015, and the secretary didn't have access to that information, so she passed a message onto Baugh, and I have not yet had him return my call.
(If Baugh, or any other employee, gets back with me on the documentation, I'll be sure to update it here in the future.)
When it was first discovered, their son had originally taken a file and made a groove into the hammer to see what type of metal it was, and to this day, no rust has ever appeared in that groove. The unrusted groove shows that the iron contains the very rare iron(II) oxide (FeO). The charring on the outside is likely Fe3O4, and that is caused by the radicalization from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. |
At the very least, for iron to not to rust after 80 years is quite extraordinary, and for an evolutionist not to take note or interest in such a discovery clearly shows a lack of intellectual honesty. Even ignoring the evidence of geological pressure, the hammer would have been crafted long before there was a process invented to forge its composition, and the fact that they ignore demonstrates the attitude of a standard religious cult.
And it's not just metal smithing. Complex medical surgeries were successfully performed thousands of years ago:
"[I]ncredible archaeological discoveries have largely gone unnoticed including aCeltic surgical kit with iron medical instruments belonging to a surgeon two thousand years ago . Modern medical authorities deduced from the array of surgical tools, that the Celtic physician, 'practiced a wide variety of surgical techniques including perhaps operations on tonsils, hemorrhoids, and even cataracts ."

The pride of modern medicine blinds mankind and gives them an arrogant attitude that only modern man has discovered microscopic organisms like germs, but this concept was understood and taught by Roman scholars before the time of Christ:
"Marcus Terentius Varro (116 to 27 [BC] ), referred to as 'the most learned of all Romans'... so presciently anticipated theexistence of disease-causing microbes that seemed to Varro to be the immediate cause of diseases: 'Precautions must also be taken in the neighbourhood of swamps, both for the reasons given, and because there are bredcertain minute creatures which cannot be seen by the eyes, which float in the air and enter the body through the mouth and nose and there cause serious diseases .'"

In crystal geodes, that are claimed by evolutionists to take millions of years to form, a device resembling a spark plug was found:

Near the top of a 4,300 ft. peak overlooking the dry bed of Owens Lake they found a fossil-encrusted geode.When they opened the geode , as they are generally hollow with crystals inside them,they found something that resembled a spark plug ."

There existed a tribe in South America called the "Nazca," [or Nasca] and they created hundreds of large images with lines they drew with dirt and stones in the desert. The whitish coloring of the dirt in the paths next to the dark rocks specifically placed along the edges is what makes them visibly unique. There are simple tools of surveying that are therorized to have been used to create these lines (based on archeological finds in that area) that demonstrated this peoples' mathematical skills, and contrary to poplular creationist teachings floating around that flight is required to see the full pictures, these designs can be seen from the hill tops nearby. (It does not disprove that some form of flight was known to the Nazca people, but claiming there is no other way to see them is a flawed statement.)

The main point I want to focus on concerning the Nazca Lines is a spider with the third leg extended, which confused scientists for some time, until it was discovered that there exists a spider (called a Peacock Spider), incredibly small and not native to the Nazca region, that is microscopic, that will mate with its third leg that extends for the mating process. Not only would this indicate that the Nazca people had been very knowledgable of the biology of the surrounding lands far from their own, but also had some way to see a tiny organisms' mating rituals that cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. |

Another discovery that has baffled archeologists are the giant cut stones that would be almost impossible to lift, even with our current technology:
"Near the modern Lebanese city of Baalbek, a place the Greeks and Romans called Heliopolis, or City of the Sun, there once ran an ancient trade route linking Damascus and Tyre. It is here that Roman engineers are credited with raising a spectacular temple complex in the first century AD. Most notable in the complex is the incredible Temple of Jupiter, a stone behemoth surrounded by |
When gazing at this structure, your eyes are immediately drawn beneath the Temple of Jupiter to its foundation called the Grand Terrace. This base comprises an area of more than |
Raising your eyes above the foundation to one of the enclosure walls on the terrace, called the Trilithon, one can't help but gasp at what stands in front of you: part of the wall is composed of three blocks ofhewn stone each weighing 750 tons . What is even more incredible is thatthe blocks have been raised twenty-two feet in order to lie on top of smaller blocks . Stood upright,each would be as tall as a five-story building ... The largest, most baffling worked stone in the world lies in a nearby quarry. This monolith is13x13 and nearly 72 feet long while tipping the scales at 1,100 tons .
It makes no sense in postulating that the Romans had the capabilities to move stones weighing as much as 2,500,000 lbs. Even today, there is only one machine on our planet that can transport this kind of weight .
This machine is what moves the space shuttles from the vehicle assemly building (VAB) to the launch pad. NASA calls this giant tractor transporter the Crawler. In order to transport the large, heavy shuttles, the Crawler's platform itself is as big [as] a baseball diamond and weighs six million pounds in order to support the weight of the shuttle and its cargo. When transporting such a massive object, special care must be given as to not topple it over by moving too quickly. |
After this author had published his book, another smaller mobile crane was developed by the Germans, called the Liebherr Mobile Crane, which can lift just enough weight to possibly move the giant stone slab, but is also a giant mass of steel and mechanical parts attached to an extra wide 18-wheeler truck.
How is it that people 2,000 years ago were able to do on rough terrian what we can barely do today on paved roads? Sadly, many authors attribute this to "proof of alien visitation" because they are so blinded by Evolutionism (the false doctrine and elitist attitude that ancient man was dumb and modern man is smart), and cannot let go of their cultic dogma, so they will come up with the most wild and crazy explanations if only they will not have to turn from the sacred cow that helps them justify their sin.
Yet, in my opinion, one of the strangest artifacts is a 39-pound axe head. It may sound strange to some that, of all these findings, this would be the strangest, but to put that into perspective, it weighs almost three times an adult male's bowling ball. For anyone who has chopped wood before, you know that swinging around a 39-pound axe head is almost impossible.
"In 1893, as part of the Columbian Exposition, [Click image for larger view.] |
In simple logic, only a heavy-duty person would use a heavy-duty axe head.
The Bible does mention giants living in the earth; however, there is a rather large controversy that's floating around about this verse; some arguing that this isn't talking about mankind being giants, but suggest that fallen angels had children with women. This is another reason I urge Christians to get rid of their corrupt new-age bible versions and pick up the King James Bible because you'll find that an NIV, for example, says the following:
"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward —when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
-Genesis 6:4, New International Version, Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.
First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone for previous teachings I've done on this subject because I used to teach the typical "Nephilim" idea, that fallen angels (i.e. devils in disguise) took wives of women, and I did so because of my previous education when I was a young Christian. That doctrine is false, and I'll demonstrate it:
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
-Genesis 6:1-2
(Read "Is Repentance Part of Salvation?" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)
It should also be noted that angels will not see women as "fair," because angels were not created to have physical attraction to women. Fair is talking about beauty, and wanting to take a wife because of beauty is a function that was created only in mankind; angels of any sort, including fallen angels (i.e. devils) were not created with that same physical function in the flesh.
Furthermore, the Bible says they "took them wives," which means they were married. God would not have acknowledged their marriage in Scripture if they were angels because angels are not given commandment, option, nor desire to marry; that function was created specifically by God for mankind.
(Read "Marriage: What Christians Should Know" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
-Genesis 6:4
I would also like to point out where the Scripture says "after that," which means the Bible tells us that there were very large/tall people who lived on the earth, but then AFTER that, the sons of God (i.e. the line of Seth) impregnated the daughters of men (i.e. the line of Cain from who they took wives), and they became mighty men, which were very strong and famous. This disconnects the two statements, but often, many preachers do not read this slowly and carefully enough to understand the difference.
Although I do not pretend to fully understand this matter (i.e. why there were giant people and what actually caused that to happen), I do believe there were giants on the earth, as the Bible says, both before and after the Flood. It is my position that these were men and women who, just like the animals and insects, grew to larger size in Pre-Flood atmospheric conditions, who would be big enough to swing around a 39-lbs axe head with ease, and some portion of this genetic capability was handed down to men after the Flood.
The tallest man in the world on record today (at the time I wrote this) is Sultan Kosen from Turkey, who finally maxed out at 8ft 3in (251 cm; 2.43 m) as of February 2011. He was born in 1982, his growth spurt did not begin until 1992 due to his pituitary gland losing the function of halting the release of growth hormone, so with a gamma-knife surgery, his hormone production was stopped in 2010.
The tallest man in our recorded history [as of 2015] was Robert Wadlow, who stood almost 9 feet tall (8 ft 11.1 in; 2.72 m) and weighed 439 lbs. As you can see, he's not fat, he's just a really tall guy with big bones and big muscles. This was due to the same pituitary gland malfuction that Sultan Kosen had, except in the 1940s, there was no surgery to fix it, and Wadlow died at the age of 22. Although this is a very tall man in our eyes today, he wasn't as tall as some of the skeletons that have been discovered over the past two hundred years. For example, according to Reader's Digest: Mysteries of the Unexplained, the Indianapolis News had reported (Nov 10, 1975) on records they had found back from 1879. According to the article, George F. Hill, a medical doctor from Ohio, had discovered a skeleton 9 ft 8 in (2.95m) tall (or long, because it was laying down) inside a burial mound in Brewersville, Indiana. |
In Louisiana, many skeletons of men have been discovered that defeat the tallest man record:
"Buried beneath heavy layers of shell some 30 miles below the city, Mr. J. M. Clay found unmistakable evidence of a prehistoric race.Huge bones similar in every respect to a man's were found imbedded in thick layers of clam shells. As many asa score [20] of skeletons were found intact. Every skeleton was fully nine feet [2.75 m] high. "
-The Daily Town Talk, Dec 9, 1902, quoted by The Coushatta Citizen, Louisiana, Dec 12, 2002, p. 4a
I would like to make a note here and encourage Christians to exercise caution when approaching this subject; most especially when searching for photographs. Thousands of fake pictures of giant humans have been created by art students, and many of them are out there being called "authentic" when they are simply a school project. (Or some wicked and foolish person that wants to cause trouble and disrupt the search for truth.)

The image is Taylor standing next to a drawn image of how tall this man would have been, which has been roughly estimated between 14-16 ft. (See Joe Taylor, Mt. Blanco Museum, 124 W. Main, P.O.

Locals of Northeast Wisconsin discovered mounds near Lake Noquebay containing hundreds of skeletons (today, the mounds are underwater in front of the Ahles Resort - Tipperary Ln, Crivitz, WI 54114):
"One skull found was about three times the size of the ordinary human and others bones were correspondingly big."

Some Christians may have a hard time believing that someone could exist about three times the size of a normal man, but the Bible speaks of such men. Og, the King of Bashan, was said to be a remnant of the giants, and the Bible gives us the dimensions of his bed:
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
-Deuteronomy 3:11
The average Queen-sized mattress comes out to about 80 inches in length, which is less than 7 feet. The size of the cubit Moses was raised using was the Egyptian cubit, which is what would have been described in Deuteronomy 3, and that is 20.65 inches, which means King Og's bed would have been over 15 feet in length. |
Whether we want to believe it or not, God's Word tells us there were many large people in this world:
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
-Numbers 13:33
"A band of amateur archaeologists announced today they have discovered alost civilization of men nine feet tall in Californian caverns ... Professional archaeologists were skeptical of Hill's story. Los Angeles County Museum scientists pointed out that dinosaurs and tigers which [expedition spokesman Howard E.] Hill said lay side by side in the caves appeared on earth 10 [million] to 13 [million] years apart. Hill said the caves were discovered in 1931 by Dr. F. Bruce Russell, Beverly Hills physician, who literally fell in while sinking a shaft for a mining claim. 'He tried for years to interest people in them,' Hill said, 'but nobody believed him.'... Severalcaverns contained mummified remains of 'a race of men either to nine feet tall,' Hill said, 'they apparently wore a prehistoric zoot suit--a hair garment of medium length, jacket and knee length trousers.'
Another cavern contained their ritual hall with devices and markings... 'A long tunnel from this temple took the party into a room where,' Hill said, 'well-preserved remains of dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, imperial elephants and other extinct beasts were paired off in ninches as if on display.Some catastrophe apparently drove the people into the caves ,' he said. 'All of the implements of their civilization were found ... includinghousehold utensils and stoves which apparently cooked by radio waves . I know,' he said, 'that you won't believe that.'"

Since much of the archeological community is made of religious zealots in a cult called "Evolutionism," very few, if any, would want to investigate evidence of anything that would disprove their beliefs. And I need to emphasize that they do not reject findings on the basis of intelligence, but on the basis of their heart, because Evolutionism is convenient and well-oiled excuse to help them justify their sin and lust. (i.e. It's a problem with morals, not a problem with the mind.)
This rejection of knowledge is such a stable of evolutionary thinking, amazing discoveries are being scattered and lost all around the world. For example:
"At Walkerton, 20 miles southwest of South Bend [Indiana], a group of amateur archeologists opened a mound in 1925 and unearthed the skeletons ofeight giants ranging from eight to nine feet long. All were wearing heavy copper armor ...Through the bungling of these diggers and the total disinterest of the archaeological museum establishment, these discoveries have now been scattered and lost. "
-Jim Brandon, Weird America, Dutton [University of Wisconsin], 1978, p. 84, ISBN: 9780525474913
A museum has to earn money to stay in business, and they have to find ways to get government grants to expand. The best way to do these things is to have a good archeologist on your team, and to find extraordinary discoveries that will make people want to come and see them, so to reject a set of 8-9 ft skeletons of men in full copper armor shows a clear evolutionary religious bias, considering the amount of money and fame that could be gained from such an addition to a museum.
The creation museum in Glen Rose, TX has unearthed some incredibly interesting finds; not only dinosaur and human footprints together in the same rock strata, but also human tracks of a much larger size than we normally see. The famous basketball player Shaquille O'Neal wears a size 23 shoe, but the Burdick track would have worn a size 24.
(Read "Dinosaurs and the Bible" here at creationliberty.com for more details on dinosaurs and man.)
The evolutionist objects to this because it contradicts the chimpanzee (small) to human (large), monkey to man, model of Evolutionism, therefore, they claim this was just created by some talented artist. Not only the monkey to man model, but the whole of Evolutionism would be destroyed with human and dinosaur footprints next to each other (as shown in this photo from the Glen Rose museum). What they don't tell you is that the museum did some actual scientific demonstration to show that those tracks are real. |
Sadly, many of these discoveries are not only being lost due to disinterest from a biased cult (Evolutionism), but also are just up and being removed for renovation or construction. Native Americans have long sought to preserve Indian burial mounds, and some of them have contained giant skeletons. Ohio Indian organizations have fought a country club over building a golf course on top of Indian grave sites:
"In 1925, aNew York Times Magazine article documented 'fourteen giant human skeletons' having been removed from the site . In 1939, Mary Orr, the diary-keeping wife of the club’s groundskeeper, was'forced to say' she knew nothing 'of the discovery.' "

Even though thousands would flock to see one of these authentic giant human skeletons, they were continually ignored or thrown out because, in the end, it is harmful to the general doctrines of Evolutionism. The following article from the Grand Haven Tribune states, "some researchers point to prehistoric evolution connections," but, don't state what those specifically are, and for good reason, because when the religious doctrine of Evolutionism teaches that chimps evolved into man, giant people don't fit into that model.
"The Detroit News’ Feb. 7, 1895, edition reported agiant skeleton was unearthed on the south side of Crystal Lake, in Macomb County. A doctor who was present at the scene stated that 'the man must have been at least11 feet high .'
Men excavating near the banks of the Belle River inSt. Clair County unearthed a giant Indian skeleton in 1899 . The Jan. 27 edition of the St. Clair County Yale Expositor reported 'the leg bone between the knee and ankle measures nearly 18 inches .'...
In 1906, farmer Guy Gould unearthed bones of a giant buried in a sand pit near his home in Shiawassee County’s Vernon Township. The March 31 edition of the Owosso Times reported that “the bones, which are in a perfect state of preservation, indicate he (the deceased) was at least 10 feet tall.'
The remains of two giant skeletons were found in Mount Haley Township, near Midland, in December 1906. The Dec. 22 edition of the Charlevoix County Herald reported ditch diggers had uncovered “two human skeletons, declared to be 9 feet long. Discovered in what was considered an Indian burial mound, “the lower jaw of one skeleton (measured) 4 5/8 inches diameter.'"

Again, why would these all not be on display in a Museum? One of the major reasons is because the Smithsonian is said to have been in charge of a number of these excavations. There is a long-standing tradition of the Smithsonian is eager and quick to jump on to excavations of giant human skeletons, but then those skeletons disappear soon afterwards.
"Another large skeleton was unearthed in Dowagiac that same year. A story published in the April 19 True Northerner of Paw Paw featured the headline 'Skeletons of giants' and statedexcavation of Indian mounds were beingconducted under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution . 'Many bones have been found, possibly 100 persons, and many of whom were 7 feet tall,' the True Northerner reported. 'One skeleton found was a man, who in life was fully9 feet tall .'Dozens of other excavations by the Smithsonian Institution were also conducted that same year in Cass County at Sumnerville, on the farm of Lucian Ely Wood, a former Michigan legislator...Countless reports exist in which the Smithsonian Institution was involved in excavations of giant skeletons and the recipient of such, but to this day have never displayed one such example in public. "

One missing skeleton -- understandable, two is even possible, but to have hundreds of excavations operated by, and sent to, the Smithsonian Institute, only to have them disappear and be lost, is far beyond ludicrous to call a fumble of incompetence. The Smithsonian Institute (or the sacred church of Evolutionism) has been protecting the evolution model from archeological evidence since the late 19th century, and they lie directly on their website, declaring their "vision" to the world:
"Our Vision: Shaping the future bypreserving our heritage, discovering new knowledge, and sharing our resources with the world."
-Smithsonian, "Our Vision," from their "About" page, retrieved July 16, 2015, [si.edu/About/Mission]
"Noted Native American author and professor of law emeritus, Vine Deloria, writes in a personal communication, 'It's probably better that so few of the ruins and remains were tied in with the Smithsonian, because they give good reason to believe the ending of the Indiana Jones movie - a great warehouse where the real secrets of earth history are buried. ' Modern day archaeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations,broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterized by a people of unusual accomplishments. That great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth centurySmithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal, through which uncounted bones have been spirited . This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to any but government officials... Many of these were quoting from old diaries and letters that were combined for posterity in the 1800s from diaries going back to the 1700s. Says Vine in this understanding, 'Some of these old county and regional history books contain real gems because the people were not subjected to a rigid indoctrination about evolution and were astonished about what they found and honestly reported it. '"

In this author's analysis, it's not just the Smithsonian; it's the entire cultic mindset of Evolutionism that is plaguing most of the museums in the U.S. In addition to the religious bias, these giant human skeletons are rarely discovered today because, with the invention of large machinary, we have very few people digging slowly by hand, and with large corporations in charge, very few, if any, will halt production (being on a contractual time limit to complete a project) for days or weeks (and depending on the find, sometimes permenantly) to have some archeologists come in and dig up a few bones (or artifacts).
The fastest footspeed for mankind on record is about 27 miles per hour (mph) or 43 kilometers per hour (kph). With mankind twice the size that we normally see today, they would be capable of reaching double those speeds, which reaches the average speed limits that cars are legally permitted to drive on public roads in the U.S.
With perfect weather conditions, there would be no need for a house. Some may argue ferocious animals, but fear of man and the eating of meat did not happen until after the flood:
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
-Genesis 9:2-3
Get a cut on your leg from running so fast? Not to worry since you're in a hyperbaric environment with enriched oxygen; your wounds would heal many times faster than normal.
The people before the flood did not carry such a heavy genetic load as we do today. It is quite possible that they all had eidetic or photographic memories, and had much better immune systems, eye sight, digestive systems, and much more; including the improved atmosphere and rich organic diets designed straight from the Lord God, their extraordinary health is only something we could imagine.
Under those conditions, you don't have to worry about getting old because the wrinkles in the skin of the elderly only appear due to decades of harmful radiation from the sun, which would have been blocked out by the ice canopy over the earth. There would be no need to rush to experience everything in younger years, as most people would live for hundreds of years in good health, getting to see and know their great, great, great, great, great, great (etc) grandchildren.
And this is just the beginning because the Lord God is going to remake the world after the Lord Jesus Christ returns:
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
-Isaiah 65:17
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
-2 Peter 3:13
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
-Revelation 21:1
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled... And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
-Revelation 20:2-4
Once that thousand years is done, we move on to something even better, which the Bible does not describe, and man cannot describe:
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
-1 Corinthians 2:9
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
-Isaiah 64:4
What if there are more senses? What other creations does God have awaiting us in eternity? The possibilities are endless.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO CHRISTIANS: Please don't make the mistake of thinking that people will be saved by reading this material. The Bible does not tell us we are saved by hearing how wonderful heaven might be, or seeing how wonderful the Garden of Eden may have been... it says we are saved by the hearing of the law to bring us to repentance, and that God must give us that repentance.
(Read "Is Repentance Necessary?" here at creaitonliberty.com for more details.)
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
-Galatians 3:24
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
-2 Timothy 2:25
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
-2 Corinthians 7:10
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
-James 4:6
