Just to illustrate the degree of biodiversity loss we’re facing, let’s take you through one analysis…

The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.*
These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year.
If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true – i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet** – then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.
But if the upper estimate of species numbers is true – that there are 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet – then between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year.

Unlike the mass extinction events of geological history, the current extinction challenge is one for which a single species – ours – appears to be almost wholly responsible.

EDGE OF EVOLUTION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

As I revealed in my book THE OZ FACTORS in 1999, the “theory of evolution” is essentially a bunch of bunk.  Darwin based his THEORY largely on geology, rather than biology.  During the intervening decades the new religion of “science”, as well as old religion (The Pope) have accepted and championed the unfounded THEORY that life on Earth spontaneously “evolves” to create new and unique species of life.  The problem is that all the EVIDENCE demonstrates this has never happened, without the intervention of “intelligent design”, i.e. people, aliens, gods, etc..  The theory of evolution another of the fundamental lies (false information) that trap and enslave the minds human beings on Earth.

Here is a brief description of a new book published recently by the brilliant biologist and writer. Michael Behe,  that I referenced in THE OZ FACTORS:

When Michael J. Behe’s first book, Darwin’s Black Box, was published in 1996, it launched the intelligent design movement. Critics howled, yet hundreds of thousands of readers — and a growing number of scientists — were intrigued by Behe’s claim that Darwinism could not explain the complex machinery of the cell.

Now, in his long-awaited follow-up, Behe presents far more than a challenge to Darwinism: He presents the evidence of the genetics revolution — the first direct evidence of nature’s mutational pathways — to radically redefine the debate about Darwinism.

How much of life does Darwin’s theory explain? Most scientists believe it accounts for everything from the machinery of the cell to the history of life on earth. Darwin’s ideas have been applied to law, culture, and politics.

But Darwin’s theory has been proven only in one sense: There is little question that all species on earth descended from a common ancestor. Overwhelming anatomical, genetic, and fossil evidence exists for that claim. But the crucial question remains: How did it happen? Darwin’s proposed mechanism — random mutation and natural selection — has been accepted largely as a matter of faith and deduction or, at best, circumstantial evidence. Only now, thanks to genetics, does science allow us to seek direct evidence. The genomes of many organisms have been sequenced, and the machinery of the cell has been analyzed in great detail. The evolutionary responses of microorganisms to antibiotics and humans to parasitic infections have been traced over tens of thousands of generations.

As a result, for the first time in history Darwin’s theory can be rigorously evaluated. The results are shocking. Although it can explain marginal changes in evolutionary history, random mutation and natural selection explain very little of the basic machinery of life. The “edge” of evolution, a line that defines the border between random and nonrandom mutation, lies very far from where Darwin pointed. Behe argues convincingly that most of the mutations that have defined the history of life on earth have been nonrandom.

Although it will be controversial and stunning, this finding actually fits a general pattern discovered by other branches of science in recent decades: The universe as a whole was fine-tuned for life. From physics to cosmology to chemistry to biology, life on earth stands revealed as depending upon an endless series of unlikely events. The clear conclusion: The universe was designed for life.

PHILOSOPHER FOR HIRE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

no-free-adviceA philosopher is someone who practices philosophy, which involves rational inquiry into areas that are outside of either theological dogma or science. The term “philosopher” comes from the Ancient Greek φιλόσοφος (philosophos) meaning “lover of wisdom”. Its origination has been ascribed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras.

In the classical sense, a philosopher was someone who lived according to a certain way of life, focusing on resolving existential questions about the human condition, and not someone who discourses upon theories or comments upon authors. Typically, these particular brands of philosophy are Hellenistic ones and those who most arduously commit themselves to this lifestyle may be considered philosophers.

In a modern sense, a philosopher is an intellectual who has contributed in one or more branches of philosophy, such as aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, social theory, and political philosophy. A philosopher may also be one who worked in the humanities or other sciences which have since split from philosophy proper over the centuries, such as the arts, history, economics, sociology, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, theology, and politics.

HUMANS ARE NOT A SYMBIOTIC SPECIES

Obligate symbiosis is when two organisms are in a symbiotic relationship because they can’t survive without each other.  Facultative symbiosis is when the species live together by choice.  Human beings do not have ANY naturally occuring sybiotic relationship with ANY other life forms on Earth.  This fact is proof that human beings did not “evolve” on Earth.  Humans are an “alien” species.  For more details, study the definitions of symbiosis herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis

The video below demonstrates a NATURALLY OCCURRING symbiotic relationship between native species of life forms on Earth: ants and acacia trees. There are billions of such relationships between life forms that actually “evolved” on Earth, but none exist with humans.  In fact, humans do not provide a mutually beneficial service to ANY creatures on Earth, with the possible exception of intestinal bacteria common to all omnivorous mammals.

If the human species disappeared from Earth today no other life form would be harmed: they would flourish!
