I recently ran across an old myth put out by our scientists around the world. Are Souls real. I used to believe that myth at one point in time. The myth is that when you die, that is it. End of story, your brain shuts down and you are just gone. You as a human being die. When you die it all goes away. Forensic Science supports this idea with a lot of facts. Everything I just said is true. Except it is not the entire truth.

The brain is the center of our memory and our thought processes. It is a very sophisticated biological machine. When the body dies, the brain dies with it. That is fact. Or is it?

We have many people that have been brought back from clinical death over the years. Some have been damaged, some have not. There is no accounting for it.

A woman in India, in an Indian village died. Another woman in a village a few miles down the road also died. The women did not have any contact with one another. Neither knew anyone in the parallel villages. The one body was revived. The other stayed dead. The woman from village A, had attached itself to the woman in village B. The woman in village B was dead. When the woman in village B was revived, she had the memories of the woman in village A. She knew everyone in village A and did not know anyone in village B.

This story could be a myth. But I don't think so. I think the soul departed from the woman in village B. I think the soul from the woman in village A somehow reached an available blank body and took it over. I don't feel that woman in village A knew how it happened. That is what makes me think it might be authentic. It was reported because in India they believe in Souls. They are mostly Hindu.

That opens up an entirely different bag of worms. You see the memories were intact. Which implies that there is a backup system somehow, somewhere. It implies a spiritual universe parallel and attached to our own. In that spiritual place, our souls reside. It also implies a lot of other things could be possible. But those are matters I am too ignorant to address, so I leave them to higher powers than me.

I know a minister that was dead for over an hour on a hospital surgery table. He was certified dead with time and place. He went to Jesus. Jesus told him it wasn't his time yet. He saw a line stretching beyond the horizon. Who are these people? They are people come to judgment. A lot of these people were sent to Hell. Some went on to Heaven. He was told to go back and report what he saw. He ministered to us many years ago and that is how I knew of him.

There is no forensic way that man should have all of his brain intact after an hour of death on a hospital table. The only way I know about this is this man witnessed to us from the church stage.

You see science is like religion. If something does not agree with a scientific theory it is very common for it to be buried, hidden, and forgotten by the people in scientific communities. It is career death for someone to discuss these things in public. So the scientist's wages depend on the theories. So if something doesn't agree with their theories they get fired. Sounds like motivation to me.

We have an entire book load full of things that do not agree with what science purposes.

We are a prime example of this. Every animal in our closely related species to human have 48 chromosomes. Except for one. Us. We have 46 chromosomes. Two of those chromosomes are abnormal in size. Just like someone may have altered them genetically at some point in the past. Every race, every type of human known to man including the aborigines of Australia have this genetic alteration.

If you asked someone how to manipulate and change a species, they would most likely tell you that they would take existing chromosomes and alter them.

The Bible in Genesis says approximately that “WE made them in our image.” I do not like quoting translated into English verses exactly. English is a multi-meaning trade language that does not often deal with exact meanings. I want the original grammar and meaning left intact. The evolutionists want us to believe we “evolved” and were not “created”. Try getting them to discuss genetics. Might be entertaining watching them side step the issue. The scientist's wages depend on the theories being true.

It is real. There is a connection that science cannot prove. We all have Souls. People are attached to those souls. That is one reason why we have a constant connection to a body that changes throughout life. We are the operator of that body. That operator resides in the spiritual realm and it is known as our Soul. Every religion believes so in one form or another. There are entire descriptions of people that have crossed over that barrier and for one reason or another came back. Most ministers will not go near this subject with a ten foot pole. It is crazy. It doesn't make sense in regards to our physical perceptions of our universe. I am fairly sure that communication on that spiritual level is instantaneous. It does not completely conform to any religion I know of out there.

Soldiers all over this world describe similar events on life/death circumstances with loved ones they are close to. Usually there is a lot of adrenalin involved when it happens to the transmitter of those events. We call them different things. A loved one might experience this when a soldier is in a near death experience. It can be an auto accident. Science dismisses them all. Why? Science has a nasty habit. If it doesn't fit in their neat little idea of the Universe then it cannot be so.

One thing about science is different fields are completely independent of one another. Recently physics has been changing rapidly. We have gone from Einstein to Quantum Physics. It is an amazing journey. Why? Because Quantum Physics allows Souls to exist in its theory. The theory is very complicated and I do not personally understand all of it. I am not alone. The theory contains a vision of time never seen before. It contains multiple universes as a real possibility. In quantum theory there are at least 11 dimensions at the atomic level. Several of them are time dimensions. A spiritual universe parallel and in step with our physical universe that we can see is a real possibility with this theory.

I do not understand all of the implications of this theory. Needless to say, the scientific community is changing rapidly by this theory. Only a true mathematical genius can understand it all.

In other words, most of what is described in the Bible is suddenly very near to what is described by this theory. The spiritual universe is a real possibility in science.

I believe all life has a foot in this universe and a foot in the spiritual universe. What exactly is a soul? I think it is the essence of each and every one of us. I think when we die, that is what is left and it has left the body behind. What happens from the moment of death? I cannot honestly give you an answer to that. I do not really know.

What I do know is that I have given ownership of me over to God. I believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are networked together in a communication far superior to any language I know. They are my bosses both here and after I die. I believe that after I die, it is up to them to decide what to do with me. Hopefully, I have lived my life in such a way that they will decide that I should be in heaven with them. Where is heaven and hell? In the old days, I would have pointed up or down. I have no clue where they are or what they are. I do know that in accordance with scriptures where I belong is under Jesus Christ's command.

You cannot trust in science alone. Science changes with the weather. The Bible has basic rules of life that are constant and they are true. Much of the Bible was written thousands of years ago and translated, re-translated, and given to us from dozens of languages. All of the people of the Bible came to us from different cultures, different times, different levels of technology, yet, the basic things that they teach still come through loud and clear. I do not doubt that despite the curse of Revelations, it has been altered by churches over the years. The early Catholic Church was certainly guilty of censorship. They are just now getting around to apologizing to Galileo. He told them the Earth revolved around the Sun.

I can only say that given a lot of circumstantial evidence, I believe the Soul in human beings exists. I believe the Soul is Immortal. I bring all of this up because we are led by people that believe otherwise. Those people are taught in our colleges and elsewhere that this life is it. That when the body dies, you vanish. So they live their lives accordingly. I think they are wrong. But if I am right they have an incredible amount to lose. So don't think they will pay much attention to what I have to say.

Does anyone else think it is strange that the news from space has stopped. MSNBC stopped printing the section around February 20, 2013. At least that is the last date I have from them.

We still get a trickle of news in other sections, but nothing like what we were getting.

According to the Bible, there was a tree of life in Eden. If someone ate from this tree, they were transformed. They were no longer mortal. They would no longer age.

According to the tales of Gilgamesh, the gods refused to permit him to take from this tree. So he would grow old eventually and die. Gilgamesh was supposedly a hybrid. A person born with the genes of mankind and gods. Gilgamesh eventually caused all kinds of trouble in the world of “gods” and was eventually punished for it. This is of course legends and myths of ancient peoples we know little about.

The legends of this tree of life make it clear that the fruit of this tree was only for the “gods” and not mankind.

I am fascinated by these tales of an animal related close enough to mankind to breed with us. A creature that had males and females. This is not something alien. It is something that somewhere was closely related to us. Close enough to breed children with us. Even the Bible mentions this in Genesis. The sons of God came down and breed with the daughters of mankind. And the resulting children were the heroes of old. I am taking the meaning in Genesis rather than attempt an exact grammatical translation.

We, also partook of a tree in Eden. This one was the tree that gave us knowledge of good and evil. That made us realize we needed clothes because we were naked. And everything I say here is pretty much in accord with what is written in this ancient book. One thing that is interesting to me, is a common poison is cyanide. This cyanide in a fruit would cause just this effect of being self conscious about self-awareness and nakedness. There is cyanide in several fruits out there. Only it is not enough to kill you.

The “curse” of immortality is there. In descriptions of matings with mankind, we are the short lived ones. So as these women grew old, their “god” mates did not. So they were set aside with comfortable living conditions to live out their meager lives usually about the age of 40 they retired as mates.

We have a similar situation. We also keep pets. I refer to cats and dogs. Both species live at a ratio of about 7 years to our 1 year of life. So at the age of one or two they have children. Whether it is kittens or puppies, they have an abbreviated lifespan compared to our own.

The Bible is fascinating. In it, a child is born called Noah. Noah was almost killed as being too perfect. This isn't in the Bible. It is in books rejected by the scholars of the 4th century when the Bible was actually put together. Angels told Noah's parents that he was like Adam and was a throw back to Adam not a hybrid. So he survived. Supposedly the family of Noah was very wealthy. Thus his ability to be eccentric and not locked up. Thus his building a boat in a place where water was scarce. And he was ridiculed for doing so by his contemporaries. But he was also wealthy enough that they dared not interfere with odd behavior. In the story, the “gods” got in their flying chariots and left the planet while the disaster of the great flood occurred. But that is not in the Bible. It is elsewhere.

The claim is that the “gods” polluted the genetic heritage of mankind. That the hybrids became corrupted and evil was common on our planet because of them. My own guess is that the hybrids lived much longer than “pure” homo sapiens. Possibly a couple of thousand years or more. That is based on the “immortality” of the supposed “gods” of the ancient world. These “gods” appeared to live enormously long lives.

Then there are the long life spans indicated in early man in Genesis. We have people that supposedly lived 800-1000 years or so. Methuselah was the longest recorded lifespan in the Bible. He lived over 900 years. Our Bible apologists have all kinds of explanations as to why they recorded these long life spans. None of which makes much sense to me. I think they lived long lives before the flood and close to when they lived in Eden.

The fact is our current understanding of aging is sadly lacking. What we do know about it is a closely guarded secret. The best secret I know of is to place the secret in the open in such a manner that no one will ever realize what they are saying is secret. This is the case with aging science.

In the 90s, we had a dramatic breakthrough in the science of aging. Dolly, a sheep cloned, showed us how aging works. On an extremely small level, we have these data strands in our cells. We start out with an enormous number of these strands. By the time we are born, 10,000 of those strands have been used up. What is left determines how we age. Dolly was cloned from a 6-year-old sheep. She aged rapidly to the age of 6. Then she aged normally for the rest of her life. That is how they tracked what causes aging in all of us. Those strands of data are the key.

There are glimpses of immortality out there in all of us. The key is those strands. Each time we reproduce cells, there are fewer strands of data for the cell to use. So the cell structure is destroyed as we age. The number of reproductions is limited. By the time we are old, the structure has reproduced 50 or more times. So if you slow down the reproductions then people live longer. That is what calorie restriction does. We have had remarkable results in lab animals with calorie restriction as a way to slow down the aging process of animals. The live a lot longer. So would we.

The original programming of the cells is still there. In order for us to reproduce new human beings, the sex organs have cells that have the original programming in them. The combination of male and female cells, makes a new combination of human beings.

There is a haunting of immortality in a sort of metamorphosis that goes on in our aging process. Sometimes the cells do not reproduce correctly. When that happens we often have destructive cells called cancers. Most times the cancers die. They are absorbed by the immune system. I have heard numbers of 1 in 100 cells do not die. These have metamorphosed into immortality. These cancer cells are just as destructive. But they do not age. When they reproduce themselves they carry the exact same number of data strands as the one they reproduced from. Cultures of these cells have been known to live 12 times longer than a normal cell. So somewhere out there is a combination of data that results in an end to aging. Unfortunately it occurs in cells that have lost their purpose. These cells destroy the human body as they take over various vital organs in the body.

This means that there is a way to make human beings immortal. The key is to stop the loss of data in those genetic data strands. Immortal is probably the wrong word. Immortal implies that we will not die of natural circumstances like an auto accident. That is not so. We are all mortal. Even the “gods” of ancient myths died under certain circumstances. They simply did not die of old age.

Another interesting factor of the “gods” is living on this planet aged them. Where ever these people came from it wasn't here! We are much too close to the Sun. The Sun produces radiation. Aging is closely linked to radiation poisoning. The drugs we use to battle radiation poisoning are the same ones that retard aging. That is not well known.

Robert Heinlein wrote of this long before Dolly's discoveries. He wrote about eugenics. The eugenics program was put together by a wealthy clan of people. They paid people with longevity in their families to have children together. Eventually they were able to double or even triple the lifespans of the families involved. He was known as the modern day “father of Science Fiction.” He was a good writer and wrote about quite a few different subjects.

One man in this book series didn't age at all. So I guess he was an immortal. That of course is just a very good plot line in a science fiction story.

I think it would be interesting to see if that idea worked. We could start with pets. The dogs are breed for various things and so are some cats. It would be fascinating to me if we could increase their longevity.

The difference between us and these supposedly immortal gods is the “tree of life.” They have it, we don't. What I am trying to show here is that it is possible that this “tree of life” actually exists somewhere. What it does is to turn off the aging process of our cells. Where and what it is no one knows right now.

There is a tribe in the jungles of the Amazon that claim a telepathic link to all plant life. This tribe all ready has a link to new chemicals and drugs being developed by our drug companies. They have a sarcastic view on long life. So they are unlikely to tell us if such a tree of life exists. But they might. If they are telling the truth about their link to all plant life.

We all ready have chemicals that slow down the aging process. Resveratrol is a substance found in red wine in France. It duplicates the calorie restriction effects and slows the aging of cells. People in France generally drink a cheap and diluted red wine. The result is they live longer than populations that do not drink this wine. This is because the water in France is bad. Modern water treatment plants have pretty much stopped this bad water. But traditionally, the French drink their wine with their main meals.

They live anywhere from 10 to 20 years longer because of it. At least that is what aging science says. This is public knowledge. It isn't something new.

The great equalizer on our planet is we all are born, live a short time, and then we all die of one thing or another. Those that do not die of accidents die of old age. But what if the elite were able to prolong those lives indefinitely? Are there scientists out there right now sponsored by these wealthy people sorting through the answers in order to have incredibly long lives? Lives considered immortal.

There are close to 7 billion people on this planet. That is 7 billion different combinations of genes. In that 7 billion people, statistics are going to state that a small number of them are going to be born with longevity much greater than normal. Just like we have people born with genius on one end and idiots on the other end of the great spectrum of chance.

Of those 7 billion chances, someone will have a cancer that is not destructive. A cancer that changes normal people into an immortal or near immortal because they do not age anymore.

My own personal view is based on real evidence.

We have a double chromosome on each side of the program structure of our cells. This double chromosome is a strong indicator of genetic manipulation sometime in our past. The Bible indicates this is true in Genesis. It states clearly that we were created in “their” image. Just exactly who is “their” referring to?

With the gross number of stars and possibly planets in our galaxy, it is entirely possible there are thousands of alien species with intelligence out there. The question is: “are there rules governing all the intelligent species out there?” What do those rules say about artificially enhancing a developing species on a relatively young planet? At what point do other intelligent species make contact with a lesser developed species such as our own?

What would the God of all Creation say about what has been done here? In our science fiction series Star Trek, there is reference to a “prime directive” that forbids interference with a young developing intelligent species. I often wonder if there actually is some kind of prime directive that isolates us from the universe until we are ready to mature and become part of it.

I think one of the prime reasons for contact is going to be the development of atomic weapons and the potential for those weapons to destroy us all.

I think another reason might be the development of immortality drugs that allow us to live indefinitely barring accidents.

The third reason will be when our governments realize that violence is no longer an acceptable answer to problems.

The test is whether or not we survive this time of trials. Or if we flunk the test and throw ourselves either back to primitive living conditions or even cause our species to go extinct.

Who would possibly benefit from our going suicidal and extinct?

I suspect those “immortals” called gods might still be out there. The same ones worshiped by our ancestors until the one true God kicked them out. Is this struggle of immortals still going on? The nightmare we call Revelations in the Bible indicates it might be so.

That means the entire thing is a fraud. It means that some things in our futures are not changeable and are destined no matter what we do. It is all about a plan. But who's plan is it?

If our New Testament is correct, Jesus is at the center of that plan. Jesus is obviously immortal. The one ruling this planet is also immortal.

Jesus intends that we all become immortal either in this life or in a new body produced by God. Eternal life is definitely promised in the Bible for those that follow Jesus. Is that the same as an Immortal Body? I don't really know.

Just because something is rather unlikely does not make it something that won't happen. We could be the people that see it happen in the near future. Our own science is very close to making an anti-aging substance close to the ancient Tree of Life. A lot of these legends could have a trace of truth in them.

Jesus compares this time to a woman giving birth. I believe Jesus has it right.

In the last 500 years, our entire view of the Universe has made dramatic changes. Extremely long life spans are within the possibility of reality in the next 20 years.

I cannot even begin to visualize what that change will mean to everyone. For one thing, no one will be able to retire. We will all have to keep up with the changing economy and marketplace for our skills. We cannot afford to quit learning new things if we intend to compete successfully in a new economy. Neither are things like dementia going to work in a world where people do not die. It has to be cured. And all of us past the age of 70 are at risk for declining mental skills. Age is a time bomb. As we reproduce our cells, less and lesser of our original capabilities exist. That is the true killer of age.

Rather we have to stay young mentally as well as physically.

7 billion people with lengthened lifespans means a totally different attitude towards reproduction. Otherwise our entire planet will starve. How does God want us to approach these developments?

I personally want God and Jesus to give us guidance through this “birth” type tribulation. But that is my religious belief. I believe it will happen very soon, much sooner than anyone actually realizes.

Science is discovering a lot of things. It is changing far more rapidly than anyone person can keep up with. The religious and social implications of these changes have to be dealt with. Some of those changes in our views of chemistry and physics have far reaching implications in our way society acts.

The world is no longer viewed as a Flat Earth. We need God's guidance in keeping those facts in line with our religious beliefs. Otherwise future shock could possibly cause all of us to die in a war of confusing values all over this planet. A world wide civil conflict between conflicting belief systems is the very last thing anyone needs.

The Bible is amazing. It is full of useful information. In a lot of ways it has stood up to a test of both time and technology like no other in our history. It hasn't really changed. Our views have changed by our technology and our explorations of everything. We are changing.

The question in my mind is the ability of our teachers to change with it. The temptation amongst educated people is to discount the Bible. I think that is a very big mistake on their part.

The Bible teaches many lessons. One lesson is the need to respect God. The results of not doing so are all throughout the historical sections of the Bible.

Immortality and increased longevity are social problems as well as blessings on all of us. We need good answers to make it happen peaceably. Otherwise it is all over with.

In 1903, the Wright Brothers made the first mechanical flight at Kitty Hawk. City Editors in their home town of Dayton, Ohio didn't even think it was newsworthy enough to put in the paper. This is that kind of story. Eventually the Wright Brothers got a million dollar(close to a billion dollars in today's money) contract with the U.S. Military to produce planes.

Recently amongst all the headlines a very significant event occurred. And as far as I know, only a very few people realized its significance. Why? Because it never effected their every day lives.

The event is they have found twin Brown Dwarfs at 6.5 light years away. In distances, that is right next door! A significant number of Brown Dwarfs neighbor our solar system in galactic distances.

Just 6 light years away is a small star called Bernard's Star. It is likely to have planets rotating around it. It is traveling towards us at a huge speed. But it will never reach our Solar System because of the huge distances between stars. It is currently projected to reach around 3.5 light years away, making it our closest recognized neighbor, some 10,000 years from now. Bernard's Star is very old. It is traveling very fast for a brown dwarf. Bernard's Star is significant because it is used as a standard measuring device to calibrate all of our star instruments. It is close and it is handy. It is very old. No one knows exactly how old.

Our telescopes are becoming more and more sophisticated. We found a Red Dwarf Star orbiting the twin stars of Alpha Centuri. Why is this significant? Because Dwarf Stars burn slower than regular stars and have heavy elements in them. They are often unstable enough to produce heavy small planets around them. This system is 4.3 light years away from us.

I have noticed we have two kinds of objects in our Solar System. We have huge planets consisting mostly of hydrogen. This hydrogen is compressed and these planets have very big gravity wells. It is thought they do not have land masses. They have hydrogen compressed all the way to the core of the planets. Then we have the smaller planets and moons mostly consisting of iron and nickel cores. If that is the case then where did all these heavier element objects come from? They couldn't have come from the gas giants. Not if they are made up mostly of light gases.

Let us look at those heavy objects. They have much heavier elements and they are much smaller with lower gravitational pulls.

Earth is such a heavy planet. Venus is almost the same size as the earth and it is made up of heavy elements. Mercury is the smallest and closest to the Sun. It is very heavy. Mars is thought to be mostly Iron.

Water has been found on the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and even a little in the upper clouds of Venus. Something had to produce those heavy elements. It wasn't the gas giants. That isn't all. Jupiter has four large moons, all of them heavy. Water is on Europa. Titan is a moon of Saturn. It has a methane/nitrogen type atmosphere. It is a heavy element moon.

Io is a volcanic place. It is hot. No one has come up with a valid explanation for the hot and heavy objects in our solar system. Jupiter has over 60 moons.

The only explanation that makes sense to me is that the Earth and other heavy objects came from a star. It had to be an old star that had changed as nuclear elements went through the spectrum of chemistry to produce heavy metals. And it isn't just material like Iron. It is heavier material like lead and gold. Which leads me to believe that the Earth itself might have a core material much heavier than iron. Only a geologist willing to go outside the box would be able to determine exactly what that material is. But I suggest it is probably something like lead or gold and very hot. The core is supposed to be about 10,000 degrees. It is under tremendous pressure.

This is where the theory has a practical application. All theories are simply guesses. Just where has gold been found? It is a valid question. If we are made up of the core material of a Brown Dwarf that exploded somewhere in the Solar System's past, then that material could have been manipulated for the Earth to become what it is today. Gold is found in volcanic mountains along the over lapping plates that are all over the planet. The California Gold Rush, The Alaskan Gold Rush, the gold in South Africa, all have this in common.

If I am correct, the mountain range under the Atlantic Ocean is full of gold! And that is the significance of all this theorizing as to there having been a Brown Dwarf in the Solar System's distant past. Between continents, we might have a very significant amount of Gold buried in those mountains that are underwater. Probably more gold than we have ever discovered above the surface of the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. The problem is the difficulty in reaching it . . . So engineers would have to come up with a system of exploring those mountains for it to be profitable. They would have to be able to mine the gold underwater. That means breathing water. That is going to be quite a trick!

This is all guesswork on my part. The scientists are having problems. The Earth has way too much water for a planet of our size. It is also too heavy for such a small planet. We have a moon that is way too big for the size of this planet. No other body in our solar system has this ratio of size. We are a study in impossible facts! I suggest that they read the bible for clues. But that is probably politically incorrect for a scientist trying to find a logical solution for everything. Personally I make a policy of not limiting our Creator. When we limit things we only limit ourselves. Our creator is much bigger than we are.

One theory is that as Brown Dwarfs devolve they become heavier still. That means the gases cool down around the Dwarf and the Dwarf actually has oceans on its surface. There is a lot of Hydrogen and a lot of Oxygen. So it is possible that a very old small dwarf could have oceans and a crust cool enough to keep the oceans liquid. That means despite the gravity well, life could exist on such a body. It is a very long shot, that it actually might develop on a star. I maintain anything is possible.

If such an object came flying through the Solar System at an odd angle to the planets and going in the opposite direction of our planets all hell would break lose. The atmosphere of a cold star might be in the 30-200 degree range and covered in liquid water. It is all internal heat going through a rocky crust and covered in oceans. This is pure imagination on my part. I have no facts to back it up except circumstantial evidence of what our solar system looks like today. Such a Star could be anywhere from 3 to 12 times the size of Jupiter. If it did come into the inner solar system there would likely be collisions with any planets surrounding the star. The atmosphere would likely form a tail like a comet and spray water over everything as it passed through the solar system. As planets collided then there would have been an enormous amount of debris. Our Solar System has a lot of debris in it.

The beauty of such a guess is that it would mean there is life all over the Solar System. But that would also mean that the seeds of that life would die everywhere that life wasn't possible. It would mean that all life had a common origin. Water has a fingerprint. Scientists can actually tell by that fingerprint where that water came from. The elements they found on the moon suggest a common origin for both the Moon and the Earth. What happens when they find that Mars has the same fingerprint in the water as does the Earth?

Currently they are looking in the upper atmosphere of Venus for life. The theory is life could have formed where the temperature zone is similar to the Earth. Only in the de-pressurized upper atmosphere of Venus would that be possible. And only in an area of twilight where the radiation might be not as intense. Where temperatures approach Earth normal, life might occur.

Mars could also have life. But it would have to be fairly deep under the surface. That suggests insect life would thrive if there was a fungal food supply fed from under ground water sources.

I suggest that sinkholes might be the key. But sinkholes indicates water. Sinkholes form little ecosystems all their own. That is where I would look for life on Mars.

Europa could have an entire ocean of life on it. What is more important is that life could be related to us. It could have genetics just like us. It could be entirely alien as well. This is just a possibility.

All of this comes from the discovery that Brown Dwarfs may be a lot more common in this neighborhood than the astronomers think.

It is scary when we think about it. At anytime one of these maverick objects could come flying into the Solar System creating a lot of trouble for everyone. There is plenty of evidence that something like that might have happened in the distant past of the Solar System. Uranus is in a really weird spin. Its poles are on the equator. We have a 23 degree tilt. Uranus has an almost 90 degree tilt. Venus is weirder still with a year longer than its day. We have necklace of asteroids 90 million miles long between Mars and Jupiter. Something blew up out there. Jupiter alone has over 60 moons around it.

The biggest asteroid in the belt is about 400 miles across. Pluto is around 1600 miles across. One of the four planets discovered recently is bigger than Pluto. That suggests bigger planets are out there. There could actually be a planet out there the size of the Earth and we wouldn't know it.

They are all in strange orbits. They are off the elliptical plane of the rest of the Solar System. That suggests something big this way came at some point in time. Something dragged those planets into strange orbits.

All of this, I deduct from one significant discovery. That there are at least 4 brown dwarfs in our neighborhood within 10 light years of the solar system. Two of those dwarfs are very close neighbors to each other. That means there could be a lot more out there that we have not discovered yet.

Our solar system consists of hydrogen and everything else. Only a very old object would have heavier elements in this quantity that we find in our solar system. This amount of water in the solar system can only be explained by something coming through and spraying it all over the place.

It makes me wonder if the government is not willing to tell us something . . .

The Bible is full of wisdom. That is apparent to almost anyone that has read it. There are numerous interpretations. I won't go into that here. There is a lot of wisdom buried in the books of the Bible.

So the mystery is: Where is the evidence that it has all happened before? I think it is right under our noses. There are a lot of urban legends of lost cities discovered. Too many to dismiss all of them as hoaxes. I suspect our governments are involved in a vast conspiracy to cover it up.

If I were looking for evidence of this Bible Saying, where would I look?

The best candidate for such a search is under our oceans. But the only thing you are going to find under the oceans is a well scavenged surface as currents and life have taken everything else away. Silt is the dirt coming from our rivers to the oceans. Cities are well hidden by silt on the ocean floors. Or are they? We are beginning to find villages under the Mediterranean from a time when the oceans were a lot less deep. It indicates that sometime in the recent past, the Rocks of Gibraltar held the Atlantic ocean at bay. That the Mediterranean did not have an entrance into the Atlantic. That it was a lot shallower in the past. Something happened to make an ocean passageway into the Mediterranean. The question is when did it occur?

If I were looking for Plato's Atlantis, there is no better place than a huge mountain range in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between North and South America and Europe and Africa. The mountain range surfaces on small islands. The rest is under tons of water. But a city outside the entrance to the Mediterranean as described by Plato is not there! There is nothing on that mountain range that extends almost pole to pole that indicates an ancient civilization at all. Except there is what looks like a city off the coast of Africa by about 500 miles. It is under 2 miles of water. It is a huge structure almost 50 miles across. It is almost completely buried under the silt. I don't even know if the evidence on Google maps of this structure have been removed. I still have the coordinates somewhere at the house. It is a complete mystery to me. There is almost no evidence to back this up except an accidental find. It could have a legitimate explanation as I am no scientist.

There are entire ruins of a civilization off the coast of Cuba. Again it is underwater. I have no idea if they have been able to date the ruins yet. You don't hear about these things very often. Then they quietly disappear as scientists go to work. The Yucatan peninsula is another place of huge finds. Don't hear much about that either.

The second most likely place I would look would be under our various glaciers. If such a civilization did exist, it might have been a victim of the Siberian effect. Siberia was originally a sub-tropical grassland. At an unknown date in the past, the entire Siberian area was suddenly covered in snow. It was a huge super storm. Animals on this sub-tropical plain have undigested food in their stomachs perfectly preserved. I understand the meat from the Wooly Mammoth is still good. It was frozen in less than a few minutes. I think something very violent happened. Again, no real proof except what is there. Any time, I expect the Siberian people to find Human remains. Also the radioactive carbon method has some questionable results. No one really knows exactly when it happened.

The place I would look is under the glaciers of Greenland. But we hear almost nothing from that area of the world. I suspect that in the past, Greenland was like Antarctica. It might have been where the North Pole was originally. The Pole drifts. What is amazing is the pattern of weather formed by the Gulf Stream in modern times. This allows a huge temperature gain for Europe and Britain. Instead of 40 degrees below zero, the temperatures are anywhere from 20-70 degrees above zero. This is all Fahrenheit temperature measurements. I have not heard of any buried cities in Greenland. Though they could exist unknown under tons of ice.

Antarctica is the most fascinating place on Earth. Antarctica was not always covered in ice. So potentially a civilization could have existed here in prehistory. There is plenty of evidence of plant life in Antarctica. An entire forest of trees might have existed at one time in the ancient past. Of course they are wiped out now.

Every once in a great while, some news service drops hints of prehistory temples buried under the ice. Then it is all dropped once again. There is a report dating back at least 12-15 years of a temple buried in a lake under the tons of snow and ice. These lakes are not frozen. They are under huge pressure from the snow and ice over the top of them. Any buildings carved from rock would survive under that ice. But it would have to be in water not ice.

The Russians are attempting to map the water under the ice. So are we. So what sense does it really make to have an Astronomy Telescope in Antarctica? I think there is a lot buried under the ice.

Our experts in ancient buildings and civilizations have per-conceived notions as to what has gone on before us. They are very reluctant to accept evidence of Viking settlements all over America. Obviously they either died out or moved on.

They tend to ignore evidence of a massive world wide civilization prior to the Great Flood of the Bible. Yet we have a lot of circumstantial evidence that the Americas were known far into our past. On the West coast we have evidence of a Greek colony at some unknown time in the past. In South America there is evidence of an African Colony. Again the dates are hard to pin down.

The ancient Jewish Calendar had 360 days in it. Not 365.25 days but 360 days. That indicates we may have been in a slightly closer orbit around the Sun at some point in recent history. Say about 88 million miles from the sun instead of 93 million miles. That orbit is not circular as some think. It actually brings us closer on one side of the orbit than the other. I leave the actual figures to the scientists. Other civilizations had similar numbers in the past.

That 88 million number is an educated guess, nothing more. But the heat from the Sun might have kept a lot more water aloft in clouds than we have today. It could possibly have altered the amount of atmosphere available. Causing a much higher pressure than we have today. That in turn might have kept the poles from freezing over. It would also tend to create animals much larger than the atmosphere supports right now.

If aging is partly radiation sickness, then people in that time would have lived a lot longer than they do now. The heavier atmosphere would have shielded them.

There is evidence of drastic temperature changes in our past. Any Geology student could tell you about this. Around 88,000 B.C., we had a temperature change that covered continents with ice almost to the equator. But that means the planet is a lot older than some think.

The Sphinx, the Pyramids, the structures in South America, even the Stonehenge of Britain, speak of a building technology we cannot even duplicate with modern engineering. It is too precise. Yet these structures contain many tons of material. There isn't even a 20 pound weight piece of paper thin between the stones. And it is that precise.

South America has what looks like ancient airports. It is only visible as such from the sky.

There is evidence in South Africa of mining operations going down very deep in the Earth. They were obviously mining for Gold. Who did this? No one really knows. The shafts are very deep.

There is evidence of two very large sophisticated civilizations existing in India and China. Documentation is at least 4,000 years old in China. India claims some of their documentation dates back 20,000 years. I doubt it is so. But it is very old.

Then we have the cuneiform documents on stone tablets of Sumeria. Some of those documents are very controversial. They describe a civilization of sophisticated technology. A civilization that may have had colonies on places like the Moon and Mars. Again it is all Urban Legends at this point in time. Scientists do not want to accept that we may have been at this point in technology somewhere in our past. The past is unknown.

Immanuel Velikovsky was a very controversial figure of the 50s. One of his claims was we are all victims of amnesia. That all of what happened was so horrifying that most nations could not handle it. The group amnesia kept people from examining what happened closely. The disaster itself caused technology to dissolve back to much more primitive times. Velikovsky had a degree in National Psychology as well as one in ancient languages.

The Biblical saying in Ecclesiastes gives me reason to believe he was right. If he was right, then everything I have described in this article will be rejected by scientists everywhere until it becomes so obvious that evidence is no longer capable of being rejected. The denial of ancient civilizations sophisticated enough for Space Travel is there. These people in denial risk their entire careers when it becomes apparent that they are wrong.

If I am right, we will find evidence of this civilization on both the Moon and Mars. We might even find what is left of space stations. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence for that right now. That face on Mars was a huge blunder on the part of NASA. According to some sources there are a lot more things on Mars than meets the eye.

Authors far greater than me have described all kinds of technology amongst the ruins of civilizations everywhere. I think it is only a matter of time before these findings are accepted by main stream science.

One of the problems of exploration everywhere is the new findings upset the current viewpoint of everything. Right now we have a whole bunch of urban legends. Suspicions of governments withholding information from us. Like the possibility of a space station on one of the Moons of Mars as an example. The moon mentioned is possibly hollow. A hollow asteroid brought in would make a perfect space station.

It is nice that Solomon wrote about this thousands of years ago. There is nothing new under the Sun.

Our scientific community is at it again. I would think that they might learn from experience, but that is not the case. If you are outside the realm of what the scientific community thinks then you will be censored. This is true no matter what the subject we are talking about.

Do we have a brown dwarf companion to the Sun? I honestly do not know. There is circumstantial evidence that it is very possible. We are one of the only single Star solar systems in this part of the Galaxy. Even our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centuri, is a triple star system. The third star in that system is a brown dwarf. Also something very massive plowed through the belt of debris in the outer solar system. That debris is much larger than the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. It contains some fairly large minor planets that Dr. Brown has been discovering. Most of which are not where they are supposed to be. They are way off the regular plane of orbits in the rest of the Solar System. The gap is where something huge plowed through in the past. No one knows exactly when that happened.

If so, where is it? The most likely explanation is one put forward by Andy Lloyd, an English Artist and amateur astronomer, researcher, and Sitchin, who developed theories of a dark star in books starting with “The Twelfth Planet”. Andy seems to think the brown dwarf is the “Star of Bethlehem” and it has an orbit that was originally 3600 years long. He thinks it is now around 3700 years long and that the star is in its furthest part of it's orbit around the Sun. That would put it about ½ light year out. It would put us in no danger for many years to come. Since if he is correct, then the Star will not even approach the Solar System for at least another 1,000 years. Andy has a book out there on it called the Dark Star.

How long ago did the Star of Bethlehem occur? We have a problem. Our dates do not coordinate properly. Jesus was born around 0 A.D. Give or take a few years. Herod was all ready dead if that is the proper date according to Roman Historical Records. I know this all just some mistake on someone's part and I am certainly not qualified as an archaeologist.

So when is it supposed to come back? According to the books(both Sitchin's books and Andy Lloyd's book), we should be safe. At least in our lifetimes. It is at least a 3,600 year orbit. Given a date of 0 A.D. This star would be about one half light year out and just starting to come back in. It should take at least a 1,000 years to make the return journey.

So what is the problem? The problem I have with all this is that everyone assumes there is only one Brown Dwarf Star in the neighborhood. And it is not just a Brown Dwarf Star we need to worry about. We now know that there are independent planetary bodies between the stars not orbiting anything.

Looking down on the Solar System from the North Pole side, the entire solar system is moving counterclockwise around the Sun. The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Our planet rotates to give us a 24-hour day. The Dark Star on the other hand is moving clockwise around the Sun according to both books I have previously referenced.

The fly in the ointment is Venus. Venus rotates West to East from the prospective of the north pole. It has a day longer than its year. I believe the numbers are 222 of our days to rotate around the Sun. The day is 268 of our days long. That indicates something very strange is going on here. It also indicates Venus may not be native to our Solar System at all. And if the Dark Star is rotating counter to the rotation of all our planets, it indicates that Venus might have come from that Dark Star System.

So we could have a maverick planet coming to visit us. It could be rotating around our Sun in the opposite direction to everything in the Solar System that we know.

According to the books referenced, the Dark Star had 7 planets around it. Yet several of the pictures I have seen show 5 planets around it. Where did the other 2 planets go? The Brown Dwarf is apparently going in the opposite direction to the planets of our Solar System. It apparently is in an orbit completely off the plane of orbits of the 8 planets in our system. It apparently is about 50 degrees off and in the Southern Hemisphere. I suggest that Venus was one of those original 7 planets. I suggest another one was destroyed making the asteroid belt.

According to the books referenced, the Dark Star may have originated millions of years ago from around a Star System called Sirius. Sirius had several stars and in a trick of orbits it threw this Brown Dwarf off. It eventually landed up here about 10 million years ago.,

So why is this a problem? The problem is debris. The galaxy has a lot of unseen matter in it. According to our physics people, there has to be a lot more matter in it than we can see. A lot of the star systems around us have planets and a lot of them are bigger than Jupiter. In theory, there could be a lot of free floating planets out there that are not rotating around any star at all!

A lot of this debris is heavy materials like the Earth. Theory has it that it is the left over matter from super novas. The gas giants are mostly made up of light materials under huge amounts of pressure. Jupiter is most certainly an example of a planet that might have become a star if it had been a little more massive.

We are rotating around a huge black hole in the center of the galaxy. We are in the outer arm. It is one of several arms in the Milky Way Galaxy. Right now we are traveling at enormous speeds around this core. We have for over 4.5 billion years(the scientist's numbers not mine) rotated around this core at least 4 times. But different objects travel at different speeds. Everything in our immediate Solar System is traveling around this core at the same approximate speed. The major stars around us are all traveling around the core at approximately the same speed. The distances between them are enormous. We are 4.5 light years away from the nearest star system to us. many stars are within 20 light years from us.

Nothing says the debris is not going around the core at the same speed as us. But if it is going slower, then it is going to run into stars going faster than they are.

We are apparently experiencing dust from such debris. The Sun is gaining material. That makes it burn hotter. That makes the Earth warm up.

The problem is we may be encountering something a lot heavier than dust. We may actually be encountering planets out there. We may be encountering debris from a Super Nova. The very nature of an explosion would have it traveling slower than us or at least in a different direction than us.

One of our neighboring stars is called Barbard's Star. It is a Red Dwarf Star approximately 6 light years from Earth. It is traveling rapidly towards us. It is projected to come within 3.2 light years of us but so far in our future as to have no real impact on this Solar System. What makes it interesting is that it is much older than the Sun. It is just one more Dwarf Star. The importance is it is one of many in this Galactic Neighborhood. That is why a Brown Dwarf is very likely to be real around our own Sun.

Wormwood could be a minor planet entering our Solar System. It could be an asteroid-sized planet or bigger. If it did happen to land in a place like Yellowstone National Park, it would upset the entire balance of the geography of the planet. That would set off a super volcano.

Most of the minor planets in the outer solar system are about the size of Pluto or less. I think one of them was around 200 miles larger than Pluto. We have numerous heavy moons around the gas giants. Some are even bigger than Mercury. Titan actually has an atmosphere with nitrogen in it.

Venus is only slightly smaller than the Earth. It has an aggressive volcanic system and an atmosphere at least 15 times heavier than Earth's. It is very hot.

It is entirely possible we could gain another Venus in the near future. Where will it take up orbit? No one knows for sure.  I find it very strange considering the amount of debt we have, that we are investing heavily in space research. That we are investing in Southern hemisphere observatories like one at the South Pole. Where was the Brown Dwarf supposed to be? In the Southern Hemisphere and orbiting in the Sagittarius area is what the books say.

If something is out there, our governments are engaged in the biggest cover up in the history of mankind.

Houston, we have a little problem . . . we appear to have been shot at from Space!

In recent months we have had several near-miss asteroids come close to a collision with our planet.

Normally one such event happens in a lifetime. We have had two in less than 3 months time.

I have to wonder if that is a coincidence. It certainly is a remarkable event.

The meteor shower over Siberia is another “coincidence” and caused massive amounts of damage.

What we have here are rocks. These rocks are traveling at enormous speeds. Normally these rocks will burn up in our atmosphere. Unless they happen to come in at the right angle. In that case, they are likely to make it all the way to the ground.

The average speed of one of these rocks is 18 miles per second. Though we have registered objects traveling up to 40 miles per second. The speed of light is 186,125 miles per second. So these things are traveling at enormous speeds. The enormous speed is what gets them to the ground.

A massive rock might get to the ground as liquid lava. Most of these rocks are known to contain a lot of iron and nickel. Which leads me to believe they are originally from the core of a planet that has blown up in our ancient past. The villain here appears to be the Asteroid belt. The largest object in the Asteroid Belt is a minor planet called Ceres. It is about 400 miles across. It is not alone. There are several slightly smaller objects in the Belt that are also fairly big.

The largest objects in our solar system besides the Sun are made up mostly of hydrogen, helium, and other light gases. Even so, they are pulling down a gravitational pull of at least 12 times that of the Earth. That is a generalization. I have no idea of the exact numbers involved. All of these planets have crushing atmospheres as well. They are surrounded by objects called moons. Jupiter is the largest planet discovered so far in our Solar System. It has over 60 moons. Several of which are bigger than the planet Mercury.

The asteroid belt is not a belt at all. It is more like a necklace. The asteroids are in an area between Jupiter and Mars. They stretch over a 90 million mile area on one side of the Sun. I have often dreamed of the many discoveries this area of the Solar System might hold. There is a lot of ice on those asteroids.

Many theories are out there about how the asteroid belt was formed. My favorite is that it was once a planet a little smaller than Neptune. It was hot. It had a thin crust over which was a huge planet-wide ocean. A planet came through the solar system knocking everything out of kilter. It hit this planet square on. The planet exploded. The explosion created a whole bunch of nickel-iron rocks. They gradually found their way into orbits all over the Solar System but mostly around the gas giants of Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter. The larger objects found their way into the inner solar system and became planets and moons. The remaining debris became the asteroid belt.

The evidence for this is circumstantial. The ancient Sumerians thought this occurred. They gave credit to this collision for the creation of the asteroid belt. They also thought our Moon, the Earth, and Mercury came about from this collision. We have a game trail here as well.

Asteroids like Eros are in extremely comet like orbits that periodically have close encounters with the inner planets. Eros crosses Earth's orbit regularly on its weird orbit around the Sun. Astronomers know of at least 4 other large asteroids that cross our orbit. There is even an asteroid that proceeds us in an identical Earth Orbit around the Sun. It was only recently discovered. It is still a mystery how it hasn't fell into a moon orbit around the Earth.

Questions about this mysterious planet are unanswered. For instance, there is a huge gap in the other asteroid belt beyond Pluto. Though this belt seems to be like a ring of objects completely around the Sun. Something very big, pushed through this belt in the past. There is a big hole in the belt! Which leads me to believe that it might have been an Earth-sized planet that did the damage. It might have been Venus in the ancient past. The planet has a very thick atmosphere. Rotates in the opposite direction of every other planet in the Solar System, and is hot. Very hot.

What if it is one of the remains of that original planet?

There are two kinds of objects in our Solar System that dominate the entire solar system. The first kind are giant gas planets like Jupiter. Mostly made up of very condensed gases. The other kind are nickel/iron rocks of various sizes including the Earth.

The problem is that the Moon and the Earth are identical in composition. No one has come up with an adequate explanation for this, though there are plenty of guesses out there. I suspect Mercury and Mars will both have a similar tale to tell. That would make the exploding planet theory valid. If they all have a similar composition it means they might have come from the same place.

What fascinates me is the ice. Ice tells a lot of tales. It is even possible we may find artifacts out there amongst the asteroids. Or even frozen corpses of plants and animals could be in some of those asteroids that are mostly water ice.

The other problem is the elements in the asteroids themselves. They could only come from objects that are very dense. Like old stars or brown dwarf stars that are much denser than our Sun. The only way I know that could happen is if the dense objects blew up. Scientists are all ready guessing that Super Novas are the only objects with this complex a chemistry to have that happen. None of our Gas Giants are capable of that kind of chemistry even though they are condensed by enormous gravitational pressures.

I personally think there is a Brown Dwarf Star in our Solar System. Probably about half a light year out. It is probably in a comet like orbit that brings it into the Solar System periodically. But how far out it is and how often it comes in is anyone's guess. It might not have happened in our written history. If it is there it is crumbling apart. It is probably full of very unstable radioactive elements. It is probably blowing those elements off on a regular basis. That would explain all the heavy metal objects in our Solar System. At a guess, I would say it rotates in the opposite direction to all of the planets in the inner solar system, from Neptune in.

I also think it is probably coming from our Southern Hemisphere in a wide angle off the plane of the rest of the planets in our solar system. All of the known planets of the solar system rotate around the Sun in a very narrow dish-like orbit. Meaning they are all on the same general angle of rotation as they rotate around the Sun. If this object is way off the plane then it might not conflict or collide with anything in the Solar System even though it might come in as far as Saturn before it turns tail and goes out of the Solar System.

Something created comets. They are all mostly in very long orbits that go in close to the Sun then very far out of the Solar System. A lot of them are in odd orbits off the planetary plane. Haley's comet is one such object. It is in a 75 year orbit around the Sun. It crosses the orbits of the entire Solar System but is so far off the plane that it doesn't collide. I think it is 50 degrees off the equator of the Sun.

Pluto is another object that is in an odd angle. So are the 4 other planets discovered by Dr. Mike Brown. They are all off the elliptic. They all rotate at odd angles from the major planets. They are all consistent in size with Pluto. Some a little bigger, some a little smaller than Pluto. All in odd orbits.

Something has pulled those comets into this odd angle. And that is a mystery consuming a lot of time for astronomers. No one really knows what caused it.

A lot of our neighboring stars have Solar Mates. I mean they have two or more Suns in one solar system rotating around each other. Alpha Centuri has two Suns and a Brown Dwarf further out from the center of that system. It is thought that planets are in that system. I think the Brown Dwarf might have planets around it. It is basically a triple star system.

Then we have one other problem. Our Sun like most Suns is running around the black hole at the galactic core. It is a huge gravitational well. Suns are eaten up by it on regular basis. Our Scientists guess that we have rotated around the core at least 4 times over an enormous amount of time. These same scientists are full of good news. You see for every Sun there is an enormous amount of debris floating around between the stars. You guessed it! Our Sun and every other Sun is likely to pull that debris into our Solar System on a regular basis. It is possible that more planets could be dragged into the Solar System. The distances are enormous. So the chances are probably small that such an event might happen.

The debris is likely the remains of Super Novas from the remote past. These are relatively small heavier element objects such as planets the size of Pluto. Though larger objects are also possible. It is very possible we are floating through such debris right now. It would explain the large number of recent asteroids making near misses with the Earth in the last few years.

Wikipedia Picture- A composite image, to scale, of the asteroids which have been imaged at high resolution. As of 2011 they are, from largest to smallest: 4 Vesta, 21 Lutetia, 253 Mathilde, 243 Ida and its moon Dactyl, 433 Eros, 951 Gaspra, 2867 Šteins, 25143 Itokawa.

Has anyone else wondered about why we are exploring a dead planet? I refer to Mars. Mars is obviously a dead planet. Or is it really dead?

The favorite theory I have endorsed is that all life in our Solar System came from a planet we no longer see in our skies. This planet was an ocean planet. It had abundant quantities of plant and animal life on it. It had sufficient variety to actually seed other planets and possibly
moons with life.

Now the only way that would happen is if the planet itself revolved around a heat source or had sufficient internal heat to keep the temperatures in a normal range. Translated, it most likely was in a reasonably close orbit around a brown dwarf star still producing enough heat to make life possible. That dwarf probably came through our Solar System at some point in time. It brought the water planet with it.

If said planet came through the solar system, it might have had close encounters with Earth, Mars, and several of the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Even Mercury might have been involved if it was much further from the Sun at one time. I am sure our own Moon might have been involved if it was far enough back in time for the Moon to actually have a thin atmosphere and water.

The life itself would have to be frozen into large amounts of water for it to be safely transported through the vacuum of space. I speak of instant frozen and instant defrost to avoid the damage that normally occurs. Which means the life involved had to be seeds or life similar to fish that are capable of defrost without being killed.

If the theory is correct, then we have a common origin of life throughout the Solar System. The problem is survival. Only life in certain environmental conditions is likely to survive on new planets that it is planted on. Common origin of life would mean it is just like
life here on Earth adapted to new conditions of survival.

That would mean that any planet with a temperature capable of liquid water might have life on it.

It would also mean life evolved here and there might be interchangeable and in some instances capable of interbreeding, though that is unlikely. Except on a microscopic scale it might be possible.

That would mean that fish on Europa would be entirely possible. It would have a common origin with fish on this planet. That would be a remarkable and amazing discovery.

Even if life is not possible on other planetary surfaces, the seeds might still be there in a frozen form. So we would have access to the original life forms that seeded this planet. That is incredibly valuable.

So the question of life on Mars becomes: What is likely to survive on that planet's harsh thin atmosphere and shallow seas. I say shallow seas because up until a few hundred thousand years ago, I think Mars was covered by shallow oceans over much of its surface.

Until a few hundred thousand years ago, I think Mars orbited the Sun approximately where Venus is today. Something large and dramatic happened to change Mars into a cold orbit further out. Venus acts like it is brand new. You have an atmosphere that is very thick. You have a
planet wide volcanic system that makes the planet's surface all but uninhabitable. But further up on the volcanic mountains of Venus are conditions favorable for life. If you go into the upper atmosphere, the pressure is much less and the temperatures are far colder than on the surface. So life is possible there. But it is unlikely to have originated on Venus itself. But if you had a common source of life seeds? Then yes, you might find Earth type life surviving somewhere on Venus in the upper atmosphere.

The problem with Mars is I think it makes the perfect place for someone or something to refuel. That implies a space station on the small moons. It implies that the seas were used up for fuel. It is a very cheap way of refueling space ships if you have some kind of refinery on the surface. Earth takes a ship traveling at 25,000 miles per hour to escape our gravity. Mars would be approximately a third of that escape velocity. Suddenly refueling becomes a lot cheaper to do.

Then we have the problem of artifacts. If what I say is true, the place is probably littered with artifacts from the time when it was a refuel station. How embarrassing for NASA. Avoiding all that junk yard artifacts on the surface! Then they would have to come clean and say there might be buildings left on Mars from that time.

If what I say is true, then some life might have survived the transition from a closer orbit around the Sun in the underground seas that have been discovered on Mars.

Mars might be inhabited to this day. The sands might hold huge sand worms buried beneath the surface. Insect life might have survived under the grounds. But only if there is a source of unfrozen water somewhere. What you might have is what I call Devil's holes. These holes would form
in limestone caves from the acid in the atmosphere. They would go down hundreds to thousands of feet deep into the planet's surface. They would form much higher pressured atmospheres. Especially if the holes sealed over at the surface due to clogging with sand. Especially if the sand melted for some reason into a glass roof. If the core is still hot, then adequate heat would be there for Earth-type life. Especially plants might survive. Some insect and animal life could survive in these natural bubbles.

My own search would be for live volcanoes anywhere on the surface. This would provide the heat necessary for life to sustain itself. Again, I am looking for evolved Earth-type life that has changed to survive existing conditions on the planet.

Every desert that I know of on Earth has the miracle of life below the surface in the form of seeds. When water comes to the desert, like a miracle, all kinds of plants suddenly surface and grow. They then pollinate and seed back into the desert. I think a good portion of Mars does the same thing when conditions are right. Conditions are seldom right. But when it happens you should be able to see a dramatic change in color over a lot of the surface. It is temporary. As soon as conditions change, the seeds go back into hibernation until such time as it becomes capable of sustaining life again.

Where we really want to be is in the underground seas. I think that is where Earth-type life might have survived. It will have changed dramatically to meet the conditions of Mars.

I think NASA has to come clean. They have to let us in on the discoveries they are making in order to keep being funded by the Public. It won't fly if Mars is nothing but a dead planet without anything exciting to discover. That does not justify the amount of money spent.

If Mars is an ancient space station, that would justify the money spent. If there are life forms beneath the planet's surface we can learn a lot from them. Probably enough to justify the money spent.

I suggest there are huge deposits of oil under the surface of Mars. That would save billions in the cost of refueling our space ships. It is likely that fuel is also available under the surface of our Moon.

If life compatible with our own is on Mars, it is likely to be very dangerous to us. We have no natural immunity to microscopic bugs from another planet. So I recommend that colonists to Mars have to be a one way proposition. They can never come back. Especially if they get sick on Mars.

The other reason to have a way station on Mars is the Asteroid Belt. I think large amounts of Iron, Nickel, Gold, Platinum, and water, can be located in the Asteroid Belt for mining purposes. That 25,000 mile per hour limit is expensive. So if we are capable of getting our materials in space we should do it.

In the meantime, Mars is the most likely place in the Solar System to find Earth-type living creatures. It is a shame that the place is so harsh. But given time, I think we will find life on Mars.

And now for a little science fiction and fantasy. It might as well be, because no one will ever believe it. Or will they?

I have always been fascinated on multiple levels with the Old Testament of the Bible. It is full of mysterious and wonderful verses.

Genesis is one. In Genesis is a description of the Terra-forming of a planet. Starting with the building of a pyramid of insects and animals. Plants are given dominance for a while, then one group after another dominate this planet as it is created.

Finally mankind is given rule over the planet.

I have always been fascinated by the gods of the Old Testament. “We made them in our image?” says Genesis.

On the walls of the ancient buildings are pictures. Some of those pictures describe the gods. They appear to be about 9 to 12 feet tall. More massive than us, yet proportionately the same as us.

Ancient myths describe them as being “immortal” and so does the Old Testament. There are in Genesis and elsewhere descriptions of them mating with our women. They describe the women growing old, yet they stay young. They describe half-breed people like Hercules. The Bible makes brief of this in re-known heroes and men of old. There are plenty of legends of these half-breeds.

Job describes a court of gods under the chief of gods. It describes our adversary in that court. It describes a bet made between the head of the gods and this adversary concerning a mere mortal servant Job. This is fascinating stuff. It describes a royal court. The book is the oldest book in the Bible. It describes a society of gods.

Enoch Book One described a conflict between different classes of gods. It described negotiations. It claims the cross-breeding between men and gods was a contamination and one of the reasons behind the Flood that basically wiped out mankind on this planet and started us over from basic pure stock. I find it very interesting that the lifespans are drastically reduced after the flood.

We are not alone. There are legends of at least one other ark. I think the count is up to five but I am not sure. Other peoples all over this planet describe arks being built at the instructions of gods. Please do not try to pin me down. That requires more homework than I am willing to do. I am only saying legends of arks exist all over the planet.

The books of Enoch are controversial and I neither approve or disapprove of them. I do find them interesting. There is evidence that they were left out of the Bible when it was put together. At least one of those books supposedly described the Earth as round. We all know it is flat, right? I have not read all the books. They are not generally available. One concerns Enoch on a ship visiting other planets in other solar systems. I would love to see if that can be confirmed. That these planets he describes might actually exist in other solar systems. I can understand why the book is not available translated into English.

One piece of evidence that it might be authentic is circumstantial. Einstein described a space ship traveling near the speed of light. On that ship, time travels much slower than time in the regular universe. So time on board such a ship might be 25 years. In the regular universe, much more time passes. That is part of relativity. Enoch describes such a journey. He returns to the Earth 1500 years later than when he left. I do not know how much time passed on board such a ship.

There is other circumstantial evidence that the Bible is correct. We are the only animal on the planet with two double sized chromosomes. Our supposed relatives in the Ape Family have 48 chromosomes. We have 46. Double chromosomes are a sign of genetic manipulation.

So if one part of the Bible is confirmed. Why not the part describing the gods?

Notice, I use the lower case version of “gods”. I am only using the term in a strict definition of a people non-human, closely related to us(enough so to have children with us), probably many levels higher than us on their science and engineering, and probably from a planet with a higher gravity than the Earth's gravity, judging by their feats in legends. That they could mix with humans implies an entire spectrum. It implies a universal engineering of life and multiple origins of said life.

We have in science fiction something called the “Prime Directive.” The Prime Directive is one of non-interference with any intelligent species on a planet such as Earth. In other words, they are to be left alone to develop, evolve, form civilizations, create their own technology, and it is forbidden to interfere with that development. It means just that. Leave them alone.

I say Prime Directive because it leaves me cause to wonder whether such a galaxy-wide alien culture such as described in Star Trek could actually exist. There are a huge number of stars and planets in this galaxy alone. We are talking numbers in the billions of stars. We are talking about potential Earths out there. “In my Father's House, there are many mansions.” These are not exact quotes. Exact quotes are impossible with the number of translations from ancient times. But I have to wonder if Jesus was not talking about many Earths being out there. A Prime Directive makes sense.

Now these so-called “gods” were enslaving mankind. We served them if the legends are correct. We had entire priesthoods serving them in their houses. Those houses are temples.

Now what if? What if those “gods” were in violation of some kind of intergalactic Prime Directory and they got caught?

Now these “gods” artificially accelerated our intelligence. At least that is what I see in the legends, mixed blood matings, and temples of the ancient world. The problem is we are not capable of handling that extra intelligence and the technology given us.

I think there is an escape clause in this Prime Directive. Those “gods” are responsible for our accelerated development. If we prove to be unable to manage this planet then they can come back to rule over the planet as regents until such time as we gather together enough to keep from destroying the planet.

The fly in the ointment is God. God, meaning the creator of the entire universe, all powerful and able to travel forwards and backwards in time. He has also ruled on this matter. His ruling was that mankind will have no other gods before him. So essentially these gods are in violation of the Prime Directive if they come back and try to rule over us like in times past. God has ruled that these “gods” are false gods and are not to be worshiped. That is assuming such a Prime Directive actually exists.

That could bring instant judgment from God on both mankind and these false gods. I think these false gods understand this very well. They are going behind the scenes and very hidden. I think the key here was in 1944 and 1945 we started experimenting with weapons capable of destroying the entire planet. I speak primarily of atomic bombs of various power and descriptions. I think that is the escape clause that the “gods” are looking for to come back and rule over us. The need for regents while we grow up.

I would not think twice about this little tale if it weren't for the evidence I see before me. We have a small financial group of elite people ruling the planet through puppets all over the globe.

It is very inconvenient to have 7 billion people. That is not an easy group to rule over. So this group might be trying to reduce that number to a manageable number for a future take over of the planet or what is left of it after a nuclear war. It is motivation where others do not make much sense.

I see a deliberate economic disaster being planned. The plan is to create economic chaos. This brings on a military takeover of the planet by humans under the direction of these rulers. This would mean a world war.

I think we have already had a nuclear war on this planet. It is described in ancient India documents. It was between China and India with extensions in the Middle East. Gods died. They abandoned the planet. The temples attempted to keep their lucrative positions worshiping “gods” that had got in their ships and left until the radioactive clouds dissipated. I don't think they ever came back until now.

Part of the reason behind this is their immortality is showing. Anything bathed with radiation from close approximate distance to the Sun is going to cause life to age faster than it would far from the Sun.

I think that is why they didn't come back. They age a lot faster here.

I also think this has all been predicted to happen in Revelations. Our God is a master of time as well as of space.

I am haunted by the descriptions of alien creatures in Revelations. Such as the horse-like creatures with a scorpion-type tail that come up from the bowels of the Earth. They are practically indestructible according to Revelations. Or are they? Well, if you have something born in the bowels of a planet, it better be fairly invulnerable to high temperatures and other objects of destruction. In other words it better be very dense. Only an engineer could figure out how to kill it.

What I describe here is science fiction. There is no real proof except circumstantial evidence. And that evidence is fairly slim. But it gives me cause to speculate.

Well, that is the end of my little Science Fiction Story. It is pure fantasy. Or is it?

NASA is spending a lot of money to explore Mars with the Curiosity Probe. They are basically attempting to either find life or evidence that it once existed on Mars.

What kind of life could inhabit a world like Mars? It is the very expensive question we are attempting to answer. I think we need to look at it from a different direction. The astronomers are not always right in the theories they propose. Neither are the other scientists always right. A lot are dependent on tenure. That colors their view of things.

Sixty-two years ago a Russian Scientist shook the scientific world. To this day, scientists are attempting to ignore what he had to say. Yet the facts are there right before our probes.

I suggest that Mars wasn't always the fourth planet from the Sun. I think it might have been the second planet out from the Sun at one time. I originally got this idea from Immanuel Velikovsky's theories. He claimed this was so. He was that Russian Scientist.

He wrote a series of books that described a Rogue Planet entering our Solar System. He said that planet was Venus, the second planet out from the Sun. He thought the planet originated in a volcanic explosion on one of the gas giants. Either Saturn or Jupiter might have been involved. From there we had a lot of chaos as this planet came through our Solar System. There is considerable evidence based on the peculiarities of Venus to indicate he might have been at least partially right. This partially being right offends Astronomers as they got it all wrong. Prior to the exploration by the USSR Venus was thought to be a twin of the Earth closer to the Sun. Only Velikovsky got the true picture right. Venus is a hell hole. It has an atmosphere of hydro-carbons many times thicker than Earth's atmosphere. These hydro-carbons are basically boiling oil and sulphuric acid on a planet of volcanoes. We are looking at one thousand degrees on the surface of Venus.

Velikovsky's theory indicates that Mars was dragged out of its orbit and deposited where it is now.

If he was right, then Mars was once much warmer than it is now. It could have had a much deeper atmosphere and a strong magnetic field. It could have had a lot more water on it than it shows now. It could have been a flourishing planet with all kinds of vegetation and animal life.

Let us take the history forward. Venus grabs the smaller planet and drags it behind it. Venus has a comet like orbit and as such the atmosphere trails behind it in a long tail. Mars is in the center of that tail of gases. Going in closer to the Sun it is launched outward. Venus and Mars together are pushed outward away from the Sun and away from the Earth. Eventually the pair break away from one another and Mars is left where it is today. It is left with very little atmosphere as Venus has taken the atmosphere with its heavier gravity. It has been soaked with boiling oil from the tail of this giant comet.

The question then becomes without an atmosphere, what could possibly survive such an event? All higher life forms would probably be destroyed. They would be wiped from the surface of the planet. All seas and oceans would be wiped out. Or would they?

We are looking at what was a flourishing planet with abundant life. Today, we are looking at remnants of that life that has totally destroyed the surface of Mars. The planet has abundant sand. Any evidence of that life has been destroyed on the surface by being sand-blasted with very high speed winds.

I suggest that anything living underground might survive. Worms might survive such an event if they were lucky enough to be out of the direct blast from the tail. Insects might burrow into the ground and survive. Fish that were lucky enough to live in deep burrow caves might survive. This is all based on life on Earth. We have no idea what other kinds of life are out there. This is based on life as we know it here on Earth.

The problem with life is it is dependent on vegetation to cycle the atmosphere that is left between Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. So the only surviving life would have to be either tundra type life where plant and animal partner to survive, or it has to be in caverns deep under the surface of the planet.

Underlining all of this is the disaster that hit the planet when it was dragged out of orbit to a much colder place. Which means that only small animals that can burrow deep in the sands of Mars will have any chance of natural survival. And that chance is slim to none.

The other problem is what do they eat? We have found no vegetation on Mars to date. I think vegetation does exist on Mars. But it is so much in the minority that it only shows itself at certain seasons of the year. It flourishes when water, either frozen or not, filters down from the poles. We have a very short living cycle window here. On the surface we have a very thin atmosphere that consists mostly of carbon dioxide. That is the same gas as the upper atmosphere of Venus.

Whatever life is currently possible has to be adapted to that thin atmosphere or it has to stay deep underground. So the surviving surface animals must have a self containing shell that protects them against the sand and the thin atmosphere. It suggests long periods of hibernation beneath the surface because of these harsh conditions.

The exception to this hibernation would be caverns sealed against the surface in some way deep in the core of the planet. These caverns would be huge. They would also hold some of the original oceans in shallow seas far beneath the planet's surface. I said that the planet was originally soaked with boiling oil. That oil is possibly in deep cavities under the surface as well. Which would mean a ready fuel supply for anyone willing to take it and refine it.

As time has past, the underground creatures might not have vision as we know it. A lot of our cavern life has lost the use of eyesight as there is no light to use. Snakes would be good candidates for this kind of survival way under the surface of the planet. Turtles might also be good candidates. Penguin-type creatures might survive the extreme low temperatures much as they do in our ice caps. This all depends on places where the orbit change and lack of a breathable atmosphere are not effected because pockets of the old atmosphere and vegetation exist.

We have no idea what life could be on Mars. We can only base it on what survives extreme conditions here on Earth. It might be limited to microbes and bacteria.

Velikovsky also thought that Mars and the Earth might have had a near collision when Venus romped through the Solar System. When that occurred no one knows. He thought more recent than distant in the past. If Venus and Mars had a close encounter with the Earth and Moon then it is entirely possibly that caused the break away from Venus that left Mars where it is today. That could also mean that life as we know it could have been left on Mars. Or at least the seeds of life might have survived. It would depend on whether entire sections of this planet fell onto Mars. But that would mean mostly small life forms might have survived the journey.

The most likely place to find evidence of that is a huge Canyon that goes across the surface of Mars. I understand it is fairly deep. The Canyon might have shielded evidence of past life from the Sands that have destroyed any evidence we might otherwise have found.

On a flourishing planet full of life, I would expect higher life forms. It is in the nature of things here on this planet. We have the dolphins in the seas. We have Squids and Octopuses. We have penguins in the frozen south pole region here on Earth.

The other question that begs answers is what happened to the advanced life forms prior to Venus coming through the solar system.? Did they exist? Are there remnants of cities on Mars buried beneath the sands? Were they space going aliens? If so, as their planet became uninhabitable, did they come here?

If we had a compatible atmosphere to their own, Earth is a natural place for them to evacuate to.

There are problems with this theory. For Early Mars might have had a much thinner atmosphere than our own. That would limit them to places such as high mountains with thin atmospheric conditions. The atmosphere is too heavy for them elsewhere. It would take many generations for them to adjust to our heavier atmosphere. And even that is problematic. They may have been ocean dwelling creatures. It is all speculation.

If they were intelligent life forms, would they have space technology?

To survive here, these aliens would have to bring their own livestock, vegetation and food supplies that are renewable. It would take extensive testing to see what foods here would be edible for them. A complete adjustment to the bacteria here would be necessary. It is not possible with our current level of technology. But such a hypothetical intelligent species is possible. If they had similar origins of life to our own then they may have been able to adapt to this planet. This is assuming a lot. It would explain the occurrence of UFOs on our planet.

When we started using advanced atomic bombs to war on this planet, it might have set off some alarms if there is an existing colony still here. This is all far out. It is entirely conjecture on my part. They may be a close enough match to pass at a glance for human. We simply do not know.

But in the expensive search for life on Mars, perhaps we should aim for that Canyon first. Perhaps we should be looking for ruins of an advanced civilization that might have inhabited our neighbor at some point in the past.

Mars is subject to extreme weather. We have grains of sand moving at over 200 miles per hour. That is like a bullet. Anything in the way of the sand is going to be destroyed. So the probes we have there need to be looking for shelter. I suggest they look in that canyon for shelter. Otherwise when Mars goes through the seasonal sand storms, everything we have there might be lost.

Velikovsky was right or partially right about a lot of things. He was considered a heretic in the 1950s Scientific Community. Prominent scientists of the time wanted his books banded from publication. They boycotted book publishers that published his works. So he really stirred up a storm of controversy. He had a lot of people angry with him over his theories.

His actual field was national psychology of ancient peoples. He was able to read ancient documents in different languages. He pieced together what happened. He felt that mankind had a form of shock when these events occurred. Within a generation or two, most of what happened was buried and we had a form of national amnesia all over the planet. That of course is if he was right.

What is startling is that he got the specifics of Venus completely right. The probes proved that. It is not that much of a stretch that he might have been right about the original orbit of Mars being where Venus is today. How embarrassing for the tenured Scientific Community.

The Russians are currently using his controversial theories to find oil on this planet. Contrary to geology theory, his theory works to find oil. If Velikovsky was right, then the only possible place to find life on Mars would be in a sheltered place like that canyon. Instead they are probing all of the meteor craters of Mars. I think they need to change direction and probe the canyon.

NASA's Budget is $18.724 billion. This number is one half of one percent of the US yearly budget. These numbers come from WIKI. I don't feel they are exactly accurate. I think the number might be higher. For this money we are getting a lot of taxes in return. We have hired all kinds of professionals to achieve goals of space exploration. Mostly this exploration has been in our own Solar System.

Though there are also the benefits of space telescopes giving us a much wider view of our Universe. The Hubble Telescope alone has broadened our horizons. We now know that the Universe is much larger than we originally thought. The numbers are staggering. Our place in this Universe is much smaller than we originally thought. If we were a grain of sand, it would be like we are one grain of sand in the entire Sahara desert. Now that is humbling. We do not seem to be the center of the Universe. I don't even know if there is a central point.

Most of the technological advances of the last 50 years have come because of the space program. Most of the light weight electronics were originally developed because weight is at a premium on getting a space craft away from Earth's gravity. To escape that gravity we have to go 7 miles per second. Or around 25,000 miles an hour. Every ounce costs money to put in orbit.

All of our satellite technology came from NASA. Not bad for ½ percent of our national budget.

There is a reason why we are willing to spend this kind of money on space research. It comes with advances in technology that vibrate throughout all of our economy. The only other thing that even comes close to helping our economy is war.

NASA is attempting to find other life in our Solar System. So far they have not been successful. Thus the mission to Titan. Titan has an atmosphere similar to our own with all that nitrogen. Another mission is planned to Europa to see if there is life in the oceans of that moon. The biggest problem is temperature. Most of the Solar System is too cold to hold life as we know it. That doesn't mean it could not exist, just that it is more difficult to find. One clue is the amount of methane found all over the Solar System.

Another problem is that the entire Solar System seems to have an excessive amount of water. Hydrogen is in abundance. We have four gas giants in our solar system. They consist mostly of Hydrogen and Helium. Enormous amounts of these substances. Oxygen is needed to produce water. The moons in this system around these giants are full of water.

In order for oxygen to exist in this quantity there has to be a generator. Stars go through different stages. As they burn, they become more complex molecules. The older the star, the more complex the chemistry. The older the star the heavier the molecules involved. Oxygen is a lot heavier than hydrogen. So all this water in the system has to come from somewhere. There is an enormous amount of energy released when oxygen and hydrogen combine. This would produce a lot of heat.

The most likely source of this oxygen would be a degenerative star known as either a brown or red dwarf. These stars are too small to have long lives as stars. They degenerate into heavier elements in a short time as far as the lives of stars go. The third star in our nearest known neighbor is a red dwarf. Possibly with planets orbiting around it. I speak of Alpha Centuri, a triple star system. It is 4.5 light years from us. In my opinion, an earth-sized planet in the life zone is possibly orbiting this red dwarf.

This is of interest to us because there is considerable evidence that a dwarf star has either been our Sun's companion in the past or still is in the depths of space. The evidence indicates something about 2 light years out in space. No one has located it yet as far as I know.

I suggest this is the real mission of NASA. It is why our government is willing to spend this money on space exploration. The search for life is a side issue. I think they have all ready found life here in our Solar System. But is it to the point of intelligence? Europa could have an abundant population of fish-type life in those oceans. Some of it could be intelligent. We have an abundance of intelligent life in our own oceans. Though none of it has a technology.

The second requirement for life might be strong magnetic fields. This is not an issue around Europa as Jupiter has enormous magnetic fields. That means if the other requirements for life such as water might make Europa a good candidate.

Whatever else, we are spending an enormous amount of money to find out if there is life somewhere else close by. Along the way, we are gaining a great deal of technology. That technology has been the foundation of our modern lifestyle with cell phones, computers, and modern televisions.

It also makes me suspicious that perhaps the UFOs are possibly real. This would be motivation all by itself to put this kind of money into space research. 18 billion dollars a year is a lot of money. If they are real, then there is a lot that the government needs to explain to the rest of us.

Is time travel possible? I think the answer may be yes. Most of the time travel stories are in fairy tales and legends. But somewhere, somehow, they all seem to use the same theme. The theme is a person enters a strange place, and in this place are a bunch of creatures that are man-like creatures. They look human but are not quite human. Goblins, Elves, Fairies, etc. They partake of the food and drink and fall asleep. When they wake many years have past and they are back here on Earth.

Normally this falls into two categories. In the one, they age. In the other they don't. The effect is they are in another space/time plain. I define a plain as a combination of dimensions of space and time.

There are other legends. For instance, at the end of World War II, there was supposedly a Navy project to bend light so that a Destroyer was effectively invisible. The light was supposed to bend around the ship and continue on its way in all directions virtually making the ship invisible to everyone around it. This was done with intense magnetic fields around the ship. Only something went drastically wrong.

The ship seemed to phase in and out of our space/time plain. The sailors would appear for a time and then virtually drift out of phase into some other place and back again, over and over again. That is the legend. In every legend, I believe there is a certain factor of possible truth. Just Like Troy, was a real place based on legends and myths of a real war in ancient times.

The Greeks had their own version of the time travel tale. They believed that the Earth and Heavens were actually one of Seven created. By going through a portal here on this planet, one could visit the other Earths. Some were desolate and destroyed. Others were virtual paradises. In all of the Earths if you looked up at the skies you would see different constellations from our own. So there were seven heavens as well. In these other places were many mythical creatures. Everything from other species to centaurs, unicorns, dragons, etc. The places did not coordinate time exactly the same. Three days in one place might be 60 years here.

Do these portals naturally exist here on Earth? I think there is a distinct possibility that they may. Again we get into energy fields such as Magnetic fields around the planet and gravity. We have a Moon proportionately bigger than any other moon in the solar system to the planet in which it revolves around. Every biological critter on this planet is effected by Moon cycles including ourselves. The key here is the energy fields. They are what would be necessary for things to phase in and out of our version of the Earth.

Bruce Allen on Sid Roth- By Faith Enoch Was Translated, Bruce was too. Listen and WATCH to his testimony on Sid Roth

The Bermuda Triangle is not alone. There are other triangles around the planet at certain points. They are all in relationship with the gravity of the moon and the angle of the Moon to the Earth's fields. They all revolve around the 30th parallel both North and South of the equator.

I think there is an element of truth in the legends. It is pure speculation on my part. Is it true? Well, Einstein seemed to think that space and time related to each other in accordance with a set of rules. Time and Space were relative to how far warped space was by gravity. Again we get into energy fields.

Going through a space/time portal to another dimensional plain makes sense to me. The trick would be how fast time travels in relationship to our own Earth.

It appears we can only go in one direction. But that would be consistent with a rule that you cannot change your own past. But going forward in time is possible. Going back to where you started is not.

One famous character in the Bible was a man named Enoch. He was one of the original humans. He was taken by God in his 360 plus year. I say that because the calendar back then had 360 days not 365.25 days in a year. So I do not actually know how old he was when he was taken. People were set up to live long lives back then.

Taken where? The Bible does not elaborate. Other books with a questionable origin say different. They indicate he was taken by angels in a space ship. These books indicate that he traveled from Solar System to Solar System in this ship. On board this ship time went slowly. They visited many systems. When they came back, 1500 years had past. He was taken up again. And the last recorded entry says that he came back again in about 1500 years. Of course everything had changed. Everyone he knew was dead. His entire culture and language had changed. But this is only a possibility. You see Einstein also predicted life on a spaceship traveling at extraordinary speeds, time would slow down for the inhabitants of such a ship. So 25 years may have been a thousand or fifteen hundred years in our time. But what is extraordinary about this legend is that no one had predicted this difference in time until recently. So we have a detail here predicted by Einstein but not by anyone else before him. So how could they report this in an ancient book? The books of Enoch supposedly date to at least the 3rd century A.D. And may have been even much more ancient than that. The theory is that they never made the Bible because everyone believed the Earth was the center of the Universe and flat. And these supposedly ancient books predict a lot of astronomy information that was considered false back then.

Time is very important. For people to slip out of our plain of existence to another place and then come back many years later should be taken very seriously. All facts that do not fit into a rigid structure of science or religion should be taken seriously. A great deal of critical review is also necessary to weed out the false and lies. There are many an urban legend that is entirely untrue.

I have never seen the 3 other books of Enoch. I have seen the one book and that one is very controversial. I would love to see the book on astronomy. It might be remarkable to compare what we know today with what was described in that book. For instance, the Russian Velinkovski thought that many ancient documents left Venus out of the list of objects in the Solar System. This is what gave him the idea that Venus was a recent addition to the Solar System. This Russian ancient language expert had a minor in national psychology. His theory included group amnesia cause by traumatic events. He successfully predicted a lot of conditions on Venus and Jupiter based on his theories. They are now being used in Russia to predict the most likely spots where we may find oil all over the planet.

Currently time is cause for a lot of discussion in Quantum Physics. Some of the atomic science only makes sense with Quantum Theory. Quantum Theory allows for the forward and backward motion of time on the atomic level. For this to be true, then objects may disappear then reappear at a later time and in a different place without respect for distances in space. This goes completely against everything science has taught for years. But it is the only explanation that makes sense on the atomic level.

If something can happen on the atomic level, who is to say it might not possibly happen at our size level in the Universe?

For instance, Super Novas have been of interest in recent years. Super Novas travel at very high speeds when the objects explode. So fast in fact, they appear to be disappearing. Then they reappear, the objects of the explosion appear many light years past where they could possibly be if they are traveling at the speed of light. Which by Einstein is the limiting factor. Mathematically speaking any object going faster than the speed of light is technically in two places at the same time. So anything breaking that speed limit would technically be going faster than is possible. You would arrive before you started.

Space is very big. So if you arrive before you start on a journey, it might be possible you are traveling backwards in time and space. That is what appears to be happening. The objects of the explosion appear many light years distance from the explosion out of nowhere. It is like they are bounced out of our time and space until they lose enough energy to reappear at a distant point.

Is time travel possible? Based on many unrelated facts, I would have to say it is a distinct possibility.

Sometimes these interactions are minute yet interesting, and other times they shifted a paradigm of a settled people.

1. Scythians

An odd group, the Scythians were nomadic and conquered large parts of Central Asia and began to bump into the Mediterranean. There are a number of Greek references to them as well as a fair amount of trade, evidence by the material culture found in excavated kurgans. Scythians were also renowned in the Mediterranean and historical world as excellent gold smiths, with their work often depicting horses, leopards, and mythical creatures stalking and killing prey.

2. Polovtsi, Cumans, or Qipchaks

These are many names for one people group, with those names given by Russian, Europeans, and Turks. Most of the Polovtsi borrowed beliefs from the people they came across, including ancestor worship from parts of China as well as shamanism from various other peoples. They also agitated the developing Viking groups that ultimately became Russia.

3. Khazars

The Khazars had their beginnings of a nomadic people, but also settled in the Caucasus in present day Georgia, Chechnya in Russia, and even to Ukraine. The Khazars also developed strong alliances with the Byzantine Empire and fought against the onslaught of Muslim peoples from the Middle East. While no exact date is sufficient, the Khazar people were essentially defeated into submission by various Viking groups in modern Russia. These Vikings ultimately became Russians.

4. Mongols

Mongols are highly popular in modern culture that even television such as South Park throws them into an episode. Recent movies about Mongols have been developed between several nations as well, and by consequence one is curious who they were historically. The concept of the Mongol rampage and empire is well known, but their intricate history is not. For example, the last stronghold of the Mongols in Russia was destroyed by Peter the Great’s experiments with a Western style navy during his reign.

It is difficult to study one people group without bumping into another. This is because, like modern politics, one people learns from another and inevitably fights a second, requesting assistance from a third. By understanding the history and nature of the forgotten nomadic people, we can then better understand how and why nations such as modern Russia, Mongolia, Turkey, or Hungary have taken the shape that it has.

Evidence does exist. There [...]]]> Starting with Zecharia Sitchin in a book called the 12th Planet an intense discussion has been going on about whether or not it is possible the Sun has a companion star. This star is obviously a brown dwarf and it is very low light if it exists at all.

Evidence does exist. There is a hole in the Kubler belt. It suddenly cuts off like a huge object went through it at some time or another.

The recent discovery of planets in the outer solar system has one thing in common. The discoverer is a man named Dr. Mike Brown, an astronomer from Cal Tech. They are all in very comet like orbits and they go out very far and come back in towards the orbit of Neptune. Dr. Brown has four of these planets approximately the size of Pluto that he has discovered in the last few years. Only a large object with a very eccentric orbit could cause this effect. These planets shouldn't exist at all according to current theories of the origin of the Solar System. They are too big to be comets. They are actually orbiting like comets. They are also approximately 45 to 50 degrees off the angle that the rest of the planets in the system rotate around the Sun at. Only Haley's comet is that far off the eliptic.

Before Dr. Brown, no one was looking that far off the way the other planets rotate around the Equator of the Sun.

The field around the Sun that goes way past Neptune is warped out of shape as was discovered by Voyager probes. No one knows why. The most likely cause is a huge object somewhere outside the existing solar system. It would have to be at least Earth Sized. Possibly as large or larger than Jupiter.

One might ask why can't we see such an object?

Zecharia Sitchin is dead. After many books and ideas, he died this year.

Zecharia Sitchin's possible successor is an Englishman named Andy Lloyd. He also has written a book and he called it the “The Dark Star.”

Andy thinks the brown dwarf exists. But he thinks right now it is on the furtherest part of its orbit. He thinks that the orbit is approximately 3800 years long. It could be as little as 3400 years by his own statements in the book. This puts the star approximately 1/2 light year out of the solar system right now. If it is coming back, we have approximately 1800 more years to wait. But that is Andy's conjecture. No one knows for sure. Andy has guessed it is a brown dwarf star approximately 10 times the size of Jupiter. That would make it 13,926,840 killemeters in diameter. He also thinks it has 6 or 7 planets rotating around it. One of which could be close enough to the star to be in an inhabitable zone.

I think Andy is partially right. I have been digging into it for a while. It has occurred to me the star is a lot smaller than Andy thinks. I think it is approximately the same size as the Red Dwarf of Alpha Centuri. This is one small Red Dwarf. The Wiki doesn't even give a diameter. They say it is only 15 percent of the size of our Sun. So digging further here is what I came up with. It is all in kilometers. I prefer things in miles, but all the scientists use kilometers so I will too.

Our Sun's Diameter 1,392,684.00

Percentage of Sun's Diameter for Centuri Proxima x .15

696342000

139268400

Centuri Proxima's diameter 209,002.60

Jupiter's Diameter 140,000.00

Difference in Diameter 69,002.60

If there is a parallel here, then the star might be approximately the same size as the one around Alpha Centuri. This system is only 4.5 light years away in the southern hemisphere.

If this is true, then the dark star would be only 1.5 times the size of Jupiter or thereabouts. That would make it very hard to detect if it is around half a light year out. If it is coming into the Solar System at some point, then it is probably coming at an extreme angle like those planets discovered by Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown seems to be of the opinion that planets the size of the Earth could also be in the Kubler belt.

It isn't much of a stretch then, to imagine one of those Earth Sized objects being thrown into the inner Solar System some time in our past. There is considerable circumstantial evidence that this might have happened at least once. A dark star dragging objects into the solar system is a good possibility.

Venus shows evidence of being such an object. Its counter clockwise rotation longer than its year. It has an extremely dense atmosphere. It is boiling hot. There seems to be circumstantial evidence for it having originated in a much colder environment. At least one man, Velinkovski thought so. He also got the orbit, the temperature and a lot of things right, much to the dismay of astronomers everywhere. So I don't entirely discount his other ideas.

The point of all this is, the astronomers don't know.

The Mayan prediction for later this year might be a surprise to everyone. We simply do not know whether the Mayans knew something about astronomy that we do not. Or it could be the nature of sunspots.

The good book says there is nothing new under the sun. So I have a difficult time thinking they were primitive people with no knowledge. Their engineering skills in building should tell people that. Andy is probably right about the orbit. But we simply do not know for sure. If he is wrong, then the star might be inward bound.

We had a rule. The rule was a rule of thumb. It was never supposed to work but it did. The original was put together by a German in the 17^th century by the name of Titus. A man named Bode took the law over and elaborated on it. So they called it Bode's Law. Then it was amended to give credit to Titus for originating it. So now they call it Titus-Bode Law. It is not really a law. But it predicts orbits fairly close. Organized science has rejected it. Too inaccurate they say. Look it up on Wiki.

If you look at the Solar System orbits from the top down there is a pattern there. Starting with the closest planet to the Sun. This is not Bode's law exactly. But it comes from that idea. To me if you look at the orbits they resemble the pattern of a large rock being thrown into a pond. The ripples are the orbits of the planets. Of course no one is suggesting a large rock caused the present orbits, just that the coincidence is there. The difference is there also. As the ripples form outwards, the ripples get larger.

The problem is Mars is not where it should be. There is a 5 percent deviation. Neither is Neptune where it should be. Again there is a discrepancy. After Neptune, there is a huge problem. Either all those pieces of planets got there naturally or something very big exploded. Science leans towards the former idea. It is called the Kuiper belt. It is 20 times as big as the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. In the middle of this belt of very large asteroids is a gap. It is a very big hole. Like something very big came smashing through the belt pulling all sorts of debris out of the belt. No one knows what caused the hole. But there is a lot of excitement going on over where it came from. The hole is bigger than Venus.

If something liquid explodes, then it forms bubble drops. Those bubbles are solid round objects. That is what I think happened. I think something liquid and hot went critical and blew up or collided with something else. But that logic would assume something very big came into our system and caused a lot of trouble.

There is a lot of evidence in the outer system. Most of it is inconclusive. But one thing is sure, something big was out there at one time. Uranus sits perpendicular. The poles are 90 degrees off where they should be. The planet rotates 90 degrees off. It is sitting on its side. Uranus is not small. Neither is its twin Neptune. They both have thick atmospheres. Something knocked Uranus around to where it is today. Some think Neptune and Uranus switched places.

So far Dr. Mike Brown in the last 10 years has found 4 minor planets. One is even bigger than Pluto. These planets are not where they should be. Neither are they in line with the other planets of the Solar System. They are in orbits very comet like. They come in and go way out of the system at an angle that should not be. We are talking 45-55 degrees off the orbit of everything else in the system. The orbits are very elliptical and comet like. They go long distances out of the Solar System and come back in. These are not small objects. They are the size of Pluto. Pluto itself orbits in further than Neptune then goes way out. There is circumstantial evidence that these planets might be covered with ice.

In Dr. Brown's lectures he speculates. There could be at least 4 or more planets out there similar in size to the Earth. Which gets me back to the other problem.

Earth has a twin planet in Venus. There is little difference between the size of Venus and the Earth. The difference is Venus resembles Hell. It has a temperature of about 800 degrees to a 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a weird spin. The day is longer than the year. It has an atmosphere of Carbon Dioxide, Sulphuric Acid, and Hydrocarbons. It is 15 times more thick than the Earth. In other words the atmosphere resembles liquid boiling oil. Nothing about Venus was predicted by orthodox science. It was predicted by Velikovsky. Seems he got a bad rap from the established order of things. They even wanted his books banned from publication. Nice bunch of people these scientists when their jurisdiction is offended.

Immanual Velikovsky thought that Venus originally might have orbited where Mars is today. He was an outlaw scientist that the rest really hated. He thought Mars originally orbited where Venus is today. Somehow Venus and Mars switched places. Now that is a nice trick if you can do it. To do it you would have to have something big coming through the entire solar system. It would have to drag planets out of their orbits and drop them where they are today. Again, I am reminded of orbits being a ripple effect. They would tend to establish themselves along the ripples of gravity.

Immanual Velikovsky also thought the planet creation process might have originated on Jupiter. The giant red spot being evidence that it was ejected from Jupiter. I don't think so but it is possible. He also predicted that Jupiter would be hot and radioactive which it is. He thought the smaller planets like the Earth with all its water might have originated on Saturn. What he was really saying was Saturn has a lot of water around it. Which it does. Titan has a nitrogen atmosphere much colder than the Earth. But the coincidence is there. He is saying the gas giants are unstable. That occasionally in our past they have erupted in huge explosions that formed satellites around the major planets including our own. Like I said, he was an outlaw as far as established science was concerned. He was not considered by established science of the 50s. He was boycotted and ignored. It must be very annoying when someone from outside gets so many facts right. Once we started exploring the Solar System that is exactly what happened. He had a better than 50 percent chance of being right most of the time. Because something big definitely did happen in the past. The evidence of this is all over the Solar System.

Almost all of our neighboring Solar Systems are at least binary. Most have more than one star involved. Our closest neighbor is 4.5 light years away in the southern skies. It has two suns and a red dwarf orbiting each other. The dwarf is about a quarter light year out from the other two stars. The evidence is that we also could have a distant dwarf orbiting the Sun at about half a light year out. Dwarfs are likely to be unstable. They are very old. They could have planets orbiting around them. Dwarfs would consist of older heavier elements like iron.

So far everything in our Solar System runs in one direction. They all orbit counter-clockwise if viewed from the north above the Solar System.

But then again there is the big IF. What if the Brown Dwarf I speak of is orbiting in the opposite direction to the Solar System? It would make sense. Especially if it did not originate here. What if the angle of orbit is 55 degrees or better off the Solar System equator. If it is coming from somewhere else that is likely. If it has planets they would be going the opposite direction of ours. Collision time . . . Glance blows or dragging planets out of their orbits.

Problem is we have a belt of asteroids with a huge hole in it. They are on the outer edge of what we think is our solar system (the solar system could be much larger than we think). Either we have a Jupiter-sized planet out there that is almost invisible in the normal light spectrum or we probably have a Brown Dwarf Star possibly ten times the size of Jupiter buried in the background of stars. It would be virtually invisible. If it is moving in a different direction(clockwise) than the Solar System, its planets are probably also doing so. We could actually have a Jupiter sized planet orbiting the dwarf. Or even Earth sized planets orbiting the dwarf. It is even possible that Venus could have come from that system of planets and broke away and then was captured by the Sun. The low heat of a Brown Dwarf could make it almost undetectable.

What I am mentioning is possibilities not facts. It will be interesting to see if Immanual Velikovsky was right. Curiosity probe on Mars could find that Mars was much closer to the Sun in the past. That would mean that Mars had an ocean covering a lot of the planet. It could have meant a much thicker atmosphere than exists today. The south pole ice could cover the planet in 16 feet of water if melted. That atmosphere could have remnants in caves way below the surface along with oceans buried under the surface. And that in condensed form, is why I think Mars is important. That is why life could still exist on that planet. If it does, they are looking in the wrong places. The huge canyon of Mars is where I would be looking. Especially at the bottom of the Canyon where life on the surface could still exist. I would be looking in that canyon for deep caves with remnants of a thicker atmosphere.

The funny thing about it is, with all the sound they are creating in exploring the rocky surface, they could attract a life form below the surface like a giant sand worm. Assuming such things exist. I think sound would be the way a below the ground creature would sense things. Wouldn't that be something? Swallowed by a giant sand worm while our robot explores Mars . . . If Immanual Velikovsky was correct, then Mars could have been just barely in the life zone and closer to the Earth than it is today. It is much smaller than Venus and the Earth. Now that would be a good reason to spend a lot of money exploring what is left of that planet. A lot of questions about the origin of where planets are today could be answered.

If Immanual Velikovsky was right, then the deserts could hold oil deposits under the surface. That would be an easy fuel supply for exploring the asteroid belt and Jupiter's moons. It could fuel colonies on that planet. Though why anyone would live on Mars is beyond me. It is a ruthless, cruel, and desolate place right now. If it had been closer to the Sun, then it might have had all kinds of complicated life on it.

It has been said that given a large enough number of monkeys all typing on typewriters over billions of years, the entire works of Shakespeare would be reproduced at some point in time simply by random chance. I really don't believe that statement. But it does approach the question: Is there life on other planets? If so, then is it life similar to our own and possibly evolved intelligence similar to our own.

The Universe as we now know it has an almost infinite number of stars in it. No one here actually knows how many worlds similar to the Earth are in existence out there. We are speaking of not just a galaxy but a huge number of galaxies that are not even all discovered yet.

The enormity of the Universe is beyond my comprehension. It is so big. We are like a grain of sand on a beach. It is a big beach. There are a lot of grains of sand just exactly similar to the one we are on. Perhaps a better ratio would be one grain of sand on a continent wide dessert. Even that number is probably low.

Our witch doctors(scientists) think the Universe started about 13.5 billion years ago as a compact gravity well so intense that it could have been smaller than the Earth. It might have been smaller than a grain of sand. I call them witch doctors for a reason. We do not have all the facts. A lot of what we do have is disputed. Religions are based on faith. Witch Doctors have faith. So do scientists. Scientists with tenure at our Universities are restricted in what they are allowed to teach and believe. They think the universe is roughly 50 billion light years across. Since light travels at 186,125 miles per second give or take a little, that is an enormous distance. Now how they come up with a figure of 13.5 billion years old, is beyond me. It doesn't add up in a Universe traveling at a maximum speed of light.

I think in such a universe we either have to guess that light is not the maximum speed or that objects travel in such a way that there is a shortcut somewhere. In science fiction they call that dimensional plain, Hyperspace. It is a strange place where our rules do not apply.

When a huge explosion of a star occurs like a Super Nova, there is an enormous amount of energy traveling outward from the center of the explosion. The matter appears to disappear, then reappear many light years away. So there is probably cause here for a hyperspace universe interacting with our own. (For definition purposes only: a dimension is like width, height, depth. A combination of dimensions including the above plus directional time is called a Plain. A plain can consist of more than 4 dimensions, I do not know any limit on the number of dimensions.)

Is there life on other planets like our own?

If so, why haven't they visited Earth? That is anyone's guess. My own suggestion is that more advanced lifeforms than our own probably have visited our planet occasionally in the past. When, where, how, what they looked like, I have no idea.

The real problem with visitation I have is space. I think space is enormous. I think unless someone has superior knowledge of space travel that allows short cuts like hyperspace, then the distances involved suggest creatures with extremely long lifespans willing to spend those lifespans traveling from one star system to another.

The engineering problem with space travel to other stars is time. As you approach the speed of light according to our scientists, time has to slow down on the spaceship interior. If you visited all the systems in our immediate neighborhood of say 25 light years. By the time you got back, time here would have progressed something like 1,500 years. That means everything and everyone who you said good bye to is now dead. Probably your entire nation has evolved or died. Certainly we have had a lot of different social cultures in 1500 years. It might have been 30 years to the space traveler. But it would have been a lot longer to everyone else.

That begs the question of what motive would someone have in traveling to the stars. Everyone that sponsored such a trip would be long dead before they ever got back.

I pulled the 1,500 year figure off the top of my head. It could have been any number in that range. That is because we do not have an exact knowledge of the physics involved.

Have aliens visited our planet? Most likely. More probable is that if they have they are much further advanced than we are.

We are just beginning to understand the nature of things in this Universe. Everything that we know today about physics and biology is probably only half true. Our progression of knowledge in the last half century alone has been staggering.

The current popular theory is Quantum Mechanics. Evidence shows that the Bible is probably dead on in a lot of things. The Bible also says everything is Vanity. Quantum Mechanics leads us to believe we may actually be in a holographic universe. Like I have said, all the facts are not in. Neither do I expect all the facts to be in anywhere soon. It is all guesswork.

I just hope we survive long enough to learn the beautiful and intricate Universe our God has provided us with. I for one would love to sit with Jesus at his feet and as a child learn from him about the nature of our Universe and his father, our God. But then he would have to enable me to have the brain to comprehend it. Because it is truly larger than anyone I know can understand.
