  • Human Evolution Timeline: Revelations in Bible Quotes
    The human evolution timeline is found recorded in Bible quotes (Book of Genesis). Adam's rib symbolizes the chromosome and is the key to the man ape evolution. In discussing evolution vs creation, many convergences like this one are found.

    Someone who holds to the theory of evolution and denies creationism might ask why such an important matter as the creation of human beings would be in a symbolic message rather than in explicit language. And, after all, the Holy Scriptures don`t talk about chromosomes. That is a valid question, which shall be pursued below. First off, the main interes ...

  • Human Health Modification Using Sun Light and Frequency

    Human behavior could be modified using light preferably real sunlight. A person could rest in a hammock while a large fan would rotate at a prescribed speed. For instance a fan blade would block the sun as it passes the individual. A four bladed fan spinning at 2 revolutions per second would produce a shade spot on the individual 8 times per second. What this would be attempting is to use the sunlight healing properties along with inducing Alpha brain waves to a frequency near the earths frequency, which is 7.89 Hz.

    The theory would hold that the immune system would run at full optim ...

    Study Says Male Chromosome Sticking Around (AP)
    AP - The human Y chromosome — the DNA chunk that makes a man a man — has lost so many genes over evolutionary time that some scientists have suspected it might disappear in 10 million years. But a new study says it'll stick around.


     

     
     


  • Natural Ways to Treat Stretch Marks

    Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a womans life. One aspect of child-bearing, however, may not be so welcomed. For 75-90% of pregnant women, stretch marks, or striae gravidum, can appear in the later half of pregnancy. Stretch marks do not pose any health risk to either the mother or child, but can cause anxiety over their appearance for those who develop them. Stretch marks first appear as raised striations which vary in colour from pink, purple or brown, depending on the mothers normal skin colour. Striations develop where fat is stored in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, but ...
