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.

WOMEN’S AUXILIARY VISITS THE OVERLORD HATCHERY

(Photo text:  Ethel Parsons (3rd from Left) leads a secret expedition of ladies from the Trenton N.J. Women’s Auxiliary Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult to inspect a fetus incubation chamber facility on the planet Draco Alpha IV.  These chambers provide prenatal support for hatchlings of a race of multi-headed dragons known as the OverLords of Delgon who have been amassing their forces to invade Earth in the year 3,468 C.E..  The Overlords “feed” by meticulously and remorselessly torturing the bodies of each of their victims while sucking the spiritual life force from them.
It is hoped that the extinction of the human race by the Overlords can be avoided. However, surprising evidence gathered by The Women’s Auxiliary expedition revealed that the human race has already been infiltrated by The Overlords who have disguised themselves as bankers, priests and politicians.
Armed with the knowledge gathered from Ethel’s expedition it is hoped that the human race can rid our planet of the Overlord infestation now and prevent the painful, lingering death of all human beings when the full-scale invasion of The Overlords reaches Earth.)

RESEARCH PROVES HUMANS ARE LESS INTELLIGENT THAN DOLPHINS (and mice)

In the opinion of “self-aggrandizing” humans, Dolphins are considered the “second” most intelligent species on Earth.  (Definition: self-aggrandizing n. The act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one’s own importance, power, or reputation.)

What is the definition of “intelligent”?  Intelligence = the ability to perceive and apply optimum solutions for the problems of existence in the Eternal Now.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxyseries” written by Douglas Adams.  This book demonstrates clearly that Dolphins are the MOST intelligent species of animal on Earth, followed by mice and humans.  If you haven’t read this book, you will not understand why you are not as intelligent as a Dolphin or mouse.

The definition of “human intelligence” is obviously an oxymoron,  like “blind as a bat”.  Factually, bats and Dolphins — and many other life-forms have have super-human sensory perception!   Humans consider themselves to be intelligent, yet they carefully and mindlessly overlook an extraordinary number of FACTS that demonstrate STUPENDOUS STUPIDITY in their own behavior.

Here is a very short list of factors that demonstrate clearly that human beings are NOT the most intelligent, but actually the LEAST intelligent species of Earth:

  • Humans kill other human beings routinely in enormous numbers in a psychopathic frenzy called “war”.
  • Humans have created enough nuclear bombs to kill every living organism on Earth (including themselves) 1,000 time over.
  • Humans routinely destroy the habitat and kill every last living member of an entire species of life form.  If current rates of human destruction of the biosphere continue, one-half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years(Click link to read article on EXTINCTION in Wikipedia.org)

Obviously, Dolphins and mice do not exhibit any of these HIGHLY UNINTELLIGENT behaviors.  They are obviously MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT than humans.   READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT DOLPHIN INTELLIGENCE from The Guardian

Dolphin non-human person

ARTICLE:  “Scientists say dolphins should be treated as ‘non-human persons'”   Jonathan Leake, Published: 3 January 2010 in THE SUNDAY TIMES

Dolphins have been declared the world’s second most intelligent creatures after humans, with scientists suggesting they are so bright that they should be treated as “non-human persons”.  Studies into dolphin behavior have highlighted how similar their communications are to those of humans and that they are brighter than chimpanzees. These have been backed up by anatomical research showing that dolphin brains have many key features associated with high intelligence.

The researchers argue that their work shows it is morally unacceptable to keep such intelligent animals in amusement parks or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die in this way each year.

EVOLUTION DOES NOT CREATE BIODIVERSITY

“Biologists are still trying to count the number of different life organisms on the planet. Consider the probability that an estimated TWO BILLION SPECIES have lived on Earth, of which as many as 99.9 percent are now EXTINCT! So, there probably aren’t that many left, right?

Wrong.

There are still estimated to be about 30,000,000 (thirty million!) different species of organisms still living on Earth. There are estimated to be more than 400,000 species of plants, alone. Do you like bugs? There are more than 1,000,000 species of insects (yes, that’s one million). There are 30,000 different subspecies of spiders! Not to mention the 30,000 species of beetles, 20,000 species of moths and 20,000 species of ants, bees and wasps. Researchers have estimated that for every human being there are one billion insects on Earth!

There are more than 9,000 species of birds, 4,000 species of mammals (1,700 are rodents), 10,000 species of roundworms, 4,000 species of amphibians, 21,000 species of bony fish and 6,000 species of reptiles. Don’t even think about the nearly unfathomable variety of invertebrate life in the oceans. Scientists will be working for a very long time to identify everything that lives in the waters of the world.

That’s just life in the macrocosm of Earth; i.e., just those life forms that we can see easily with the naked eye. How does this apply to the microcosm of relatively invisible animals?

There are 4,000 known species of bacteria. On the average human body, about 600 million bacteria live on the skin. The skin under your arms carries close to 500,000 bacteria and your forearm is a thriving metropolis that is home to over 12,000 bacteria per square inch! The bacteria population INSIDE your body is too numerous to count.

Then there are all the species of protozoa, algae, fungi and bacteria that eat carbon dioxide and hydrogen and produce methane as a byproduct.

In addition to the vast number of species, consider the fact that each individual cell in any complex organism is, in fact, a separate, distinct life entity. There are about 75 trillion cells in the average human body. The size of a single cell varies from the thickness of a few thousand atoms, to the largest single cell (an ostrich egg), measuring about 20 inches in diameter.

The sheer volume and diversity of life forms would seem to defy the probability of any coincidental, circumstantial, accidental or spontaneous development of the unthinkably vast, complex, intricately coordinated, precisely structured, cooperatively balanced, and yet, ingeniously bizarre, incongruously grotesque and downright peculiar variety of life on Earth. (Remember, we aren’t even counting the 99 percent of life forms that USED to live on the planet, which are now extinct!)

In the 150 years since Darwin and others have re-proposed the Theory of Evolution, no one has ever demonstrated it to be true. Not a single one of any of this immense number of species have ever successfully interbred and created a fertile reproductive combination of two different species.

The point is this: Darwin’s theory does not provide us with a workable solution. The missing pieces of the puzzle are still missing, namely: where did man and the other life forms on this planet come from?”
