  1. Although I do not dispute the age of the planet per say, I am more convinced than ever that the whole thing was by design, not by accident thus there is a surely a creator. Darwin’s theory is less credible the more we move forward. The ressent discovery of DNA for one. Modern man (homo sapiens) IS the missing link. At some point,( scientists say about 300,000 years ago) I believe something supernatural occurred. The continents where « seeded » with each distinctive race.

    This is a good starting point; how special is planet Earth?
    Probably more than you currently think…this is a must see:

    1. This. There’s not much grant money for paleoanthropology so the fights over it are bloddsport. And as the saying goes, academic politics are so vicious because the stakes are so small.

    2. And since nearly all “research” money comes from the State (academia is the church of the State), it’s all about the politics.

  2. There are things we don’t know, things we don’t understand, so let’s do some grifting to fleece the gullible, or at the very least, support an agenda.

  3. The assumption that there were not people in the americas prior to the arrival of the first immigrants is at best unlikely, but nothing can go against the stories of the natives springing up from the plains like magic.

  4. One instance that comes to mind, Virginia Steen-McIntyre.

    Site in Mexico, finds dated by virtually every scientific means available, some numerously, to 130,000 to 250,000 years ago.

    End result…scorned and rejected. In the end she quit archaeology altogether.

    A great deal of the world of so-called science is a helluva lot more to do with ideology than facts. Climate Change is just the latest example. Zealotry abounds everywhere.

    Just one f’rinstance, read “The Hidden History of the Human Race”, short version of “Forbidden Archaeology”.

    And I can think of a lot more good reads.

    What’d that guy say…”You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”

    Amen to that!

  5. Stopped at his map showing “Beringia” as being a great land mass between Asia and North America but no equivalent emerging land mass down the west coast; he then had the immigrants “island-hopping” down the west coast. If the Pacific Ocean was so low that there was a land bridge between the two continents, then it would most likely have been so low that the offshore islands (Haida Guaii, Vancouver Island, etc) were also connected to the mainland by lowlands which were flooded at the end of the last Ice Age. Indeed, there are flood “legends” in more than just the Old Testament, including from the West Coast. It was most probably not a “40 days and 40 nights” phenomenon, but coastal dwellers around the world found themselves displaced by the slow but inexorable rise of the oceans.

    1. There are hundreds of flood myths worldwide, particularly in the South Pacific, Indonesia, Philippines, New Zealand, etc…all of which predate any contact with Christianity.

      I really recommend “Ancient Apocalypse” on Netflix, by Graham Hancock. Lots to think about. Particularly the 8th and last episode in which he visits the “Scablands” of NW USA. Conventional science wants everyone to believe that happened over thousands of years of floods caused by ice dam failures on the Laurentide glacier covering most of Canada…mostly because modern science isn’t comfortable with the concept of catastrophism. I think the real truth is that it all happened at once in a matter of mere days…almost certainly caused by broken up comet impacts across the glacial cap circa 10,800 BC. Epic doesn’t even begin to capsulate the scope of this massive natural disaster! The outflow of all this icy meltwater, both into the Pacific, but especially the north Atlantic is very likely what brought about the Younger Dryas, as it literally halted the currents of warm water from the Caribbean, in turn drastically cooling global climate.

      Read “The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes” by Richard Firestone et al. Scorned at the time of its publishing in 2007, it has since gained a great deal of support due to a significant number of further studies / research that back up its conclusions. The 1200 year Younger Dryas cold snap was not without cause…and it’s now finally clear what that was.
