She has been dead for three years.

And she trusted me because I never lied to her weaseled or curried favor. I gave the facts to her straight. I never asked for nor wanted anything from them materially, and said so. That is why when she was (as she didn't know at the time) dying and I exposed a scammer who had been sucking up to her for years she believed me.

Tell the truth and shame the devil.

The truth matters. That is why science is better than superstition.

Some believe "the flood" was an event that happened as the connection between Africa and Europe near modern Gibraltar was breached by the Atlantic and the basin to the East became the Mediterranean Sea. Please note also that there was more than just 2 by 2 in the Genesis story
Flood myths aside, there is some evidence that the Black Sea was formed when global sea levels rose and the Med poured through the Dardanelles/Bosphorus roughly 7000 years ago. I read the paper in Nature (IIRC) back in the nineties and was sold (not, I hasten to add on the Noah thing but on the possible source of a huge flood recent enough to be the source of legends) but it seems that more recent geological and archaeological evidence is generally anti. The story made headlines 20 years ago because of obvious Noah connections, but it seems to have ben largely debunked, or at least toned way down.

Apparently our little corner of the universe is due to get shaken up soon ,with the passage of "Niburu " (the tenth planet ,did I spell that right ) what to do ? basically nothing can help a person from something like that ,except maybe living on high ground and avoiding population centers.Some of these catastrophes appear cyclic and the "tenth planet " hypothesis would go a long way toward explaining some ancient disasters .I could see widespread flooding and earthquakes(that may be when Yellowstone blows its stack ) Maybe it is time to critically reread the old myths and recorded disasters . The scary part is there is mounting evidence of an unseen large body in the outer reaches of our star system .

Niburu = Nucking futs:
The idea that a planet-sized object will collide with or closely pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience and an internet hoax by astronomers and planetary scientists.

The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extraterrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain.
Wiki, she say!

Why would you want it to sink? Boats either float or sink either way it prove nothing but sea worthiness. As far as I know God did not instruct that this boat be built so it is not under his protection. I believe in God if you don’t well maybe you like it hot. You don’t prove God you accept him or you don’t.

I believe in science too, but with science I require proof.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

Say what you will ,there is indeed evidence for a large unidentified body in the outer reaches of the solar system,most legends are founded on a bit of truth,that Russian Guy (cant spell His name ) postulates have been found to have a lot of truth ,something as big as Niburu ,doesnt have to get that close ,a near miss on something that massive will upset Earths apple cart.Screw your tinfoil hats ,broaden your horizons ,think and imagine,there is evidence of floods in ancient times(some not so ancient ) even around here there are places sculpted by water where the nearest creeks and waterways are tens of feet lower and miles away ,in my line of work we often dig through layers of silt and alluvial and conlluvial layers high on the ridges.As a lay geologist this stuff catches my attention,I am not going as far as Cremo and Thompson ,"but there are more things to Heaven and Earth-" :nana

"nuff said"? Not really. Can you find me something since December 2015 that supports and confirms alleged observations in that year that might suggest such a thing? You say there is - the burden of proof positive is on you.

I am afraid you will have to go to the astrophysicists themselves,I suppose you have heard of Nemesis?By the the way just read some of the works of Zecharia Sitchin and others and watch the disclosure project ,you probably still wont change your mind."He who is convinced against his will,is unconvinced still "I had a brainiac from another site tell me that I was full of it when I mentioned the govt has a system that watches the internet for keywords ,when found zeros in ..I think about two months later the govt owned up to it .
Anyway the disturbances in the outer bodies point to something massive out there beyond visibility ,so what if it comes ? There is nothing we could do about it,this thing would have a highly elliptical orbit and would leave pretty quickly because of the speed it acquired moving to the center of gravity (Sol ) and it would slingshot out pretty quickly ,but never having enough speed to completely reach escape velocity from the sun ,it is postulated due to the relative abundance of binary star systems,that Sol may indeed have a companion ,a brown dwarf .. :shrug
