Well the mutterings of my mind bring me here again. I'm thinking about seeds and evolution and creation. What a mouth full huh? So many times I hear the evolutionists and the creationists going back and forth. Is it possible that both are correct? Some things evolve and other things are just as they were created.

If I were to say that man has walked this earth for millions of years, many would say that we are here for 6,000 years. Maybe that is true in a sense of the word "being". Is it possible that God planted the spirit of what we are into humans that had been here for millions of years? Is it possible that Adam and Eve were cave dwellers who suddenly realized God and spirit? I is and interesting thought anyway huh?

Creation In A Nut Shell

Sat, 22 May 2004 02:46:50 GMT

Wow it has been some time since I poster here. Life has been good. I have been thinking quite a bit about where mankind started and where humans started. For some reason it seems to me that in the beginning God created us man and woman as spiritual beings with no human body. When he relised our weaknesses he put us into the human body since it seemed to fit our need with our level of knowledge and intellectual promise. Before we were with God now we would find our individual path back to our creator.

This all is to say that humans existed millions of years ago and lived somewhat limited without the spirit that God would put into the being. When he did as all other animals, they procreated and began to cover the earth. So welcome all you spirit beings to your temporary home in the human body. Have you thought in your spirit lately or contemplated your creator? Your creator is always with you guiding you!

Word of the Day for Tuesday April 6, 2004

vertiginous vur-TIJ-uh-nuhs, adjective:
1. Affected with vertigo; giddy; dizzy.
2. Causing or tending to cause dizziness.
3. Turning round; whirling; revolving.
4. Inclined to change quickly or frequently; inconstant.

But up close the building is impossibly steep, vertiginous, hostile.
--Neil Baldwln, Legends of the Plumed Serpent

[H]e did us no good when, without permission, he entered Tibetan air space and flew up over central China, explaining that it was impossible to comply with the authorities' instructions to land because of the vertiginous mountain terrain.
--Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, Around the World in 20 Days

. . . the bouldery ruins of vertiginous cliffs pounded and lashed by the fury of wind and water.
--Lena Lencek and Gideon Bosker, The Beach

Vertiginous derives from Latin vertigo, "a turning round, a whirling round; giddiness," from vertere, "to turn." Related words include reverse, "to turn back (re-) or around"; subvert, "to undermine" (from sub-, "under" + vertere -- at root "to turn from under, to overturn"); and versus, "against" (from versus, "turned towards," hence "facing, opposed," from the past participle of vertere).

Despite not reaching the finals of the Landmark East competition, the feature film has been given a strong thumbs up from the East of England Development Agency. Joanna Carrick, who is creative director of the Ipswich-based film and theatre company Red Rose Chain, said she was looking forward to developing the project with the help of the agency. She said: "Although they were really into our project they didn't think it was right for the landmark competition. It was not that they thought it was any less good than those ones that were chosen. "Our work is about social inclusion and involving the community and I think they were really interested in that aspect. "We are really glad that we entered the competition in our maverick and different way. I think they found it impossible to pull it in with the other projects, which were mainly architecural." The project first came into fruition four years ago when the company performed their newly written play in Rendlesham Forest, which was inspired by the UFO sightings at RAF Bentwaters, near Woodbridge. The base was being used by the American air force in 1980 when personnel claim they witnessed some unusual lights on two nights after Christmas. The case has excited worldwide interest since. However Ms Carrick, who will be directing Eastgate next year, said it would be more than East Anglia's answer to X-Files. The company would need a "substantial amount" to support the ambitious project. But she admitted it would find a way to make the film whatever funding it receives. The East of England Development Agency has also expressed an interest in Red Rose Chain's annual Rendlesham Forest production, raising the possibility of developing it into a drama festival.

A Grand Aerial Circumnavigation of Area 51

A Trip Report by Tom Mahood

This is the account of an aerial circumnavigation of the Nellis Range made on March 10, 1996. The pilot for this strange excursion was Will Seiber, who was on spring break from the University of Oklahoma, and was visiting the Las Vegas area with some friends. Normal college students go to Florida, Palm Springs or Mexico for spring break, but the real fun, twisted ones go to Area 51. Will arranged the rental of a Cessna 182 for the adventure, and Glenn Campbell and I went along as ballast, in case the turbulence started tossing the plane around.
If you'd like to see the map of our route, be warned it's a large jpg image, over 220k. However it is plotted on an FAA chart of the area, showing the various restricted airspaces, so some might find that information of interest.
We departed the North Las Vegas airport about 7:00 am and started to climb, following Highway 95 to the northwest. The air was smooth and quite clear, with visibility in the 80-100 mile range. Just a perfect day for what we had planned.
Exactly what we had planned was a traverse of R-4807A, the restricted airspace south of the Tonopah Test Range and north of the NTS and Groom airspace. This was the airspace that opened up in July of 1995, allowing civilian air traffic on Sundays when the military had no Flag exercises planned. This certainly demanded a look. Will had taken the precaution of checking with the local FAA Flight Service Station before we left, to ensure there wouldn't be any surprises. Hah!
Shortly after we passed Indian Springs AFB at 8500' (photo 39k), we got a nice look at Groom Lake from the south, and an even better view of Papoose Lake. Due to the vibration of the aircraft, the viewing of details was no better than the further distant Mt. Stirling location on the ground. Still, it was a pretty sight. (Color enhanced photo 47k)
Passing Mercury, we had a good look into the Test Site, with Frenchman Flat and Yucca Flat spread out very fine, with CP-1 perched on its ridge between (photo 51k).
Continuing northwest along Highway 95, we had a good peep at Area 27, which used to be the assembly area for the various devices detonated at the NTS. There were a number of smaller buildings there, but were a bit distant to see any details. Next, we came abeam of the Jackass Flats area. The BREN Tower and all the old NERVA facilities and MX missile test deployment areas were easily seen, as well as the portal area of the Yucca Mountain project.
As we reached the area between Yucca Mountain and Beatty, it was time to head due north into the formerly completely restricted R-4807A airspace. We came to the conclusion that it would probably be a good idea to be in touch with Nellis Control for any warnings of nearby aircraft, so Will gave them a call on the radio. Nellis came back right away and told us we were in restricted airspace and to immediately turn to a heading of 270 degrees (i.e., west) and exit the airspace. Get the hell outta Dodge!
Well, THAT was certainly interesting, not to mention unexpected! After turning to the west, we looked at each other, then looked at the map then asked Nellis if they were sure about that? Nellis responded with a terse "yes!" Then, Will read to the controller that part of the aircraft sectional chart where the new restrictions for the area were listed. It didn't seem to impress the controller in the least. Nellis said the area was CONTINUOUSLY restricted!
We quickly tried to decide what to due next. Even if this controller character had his head up his ass, we weren't about to violate instructions and proceed through a restricted area. Not healthy, these guys have aircraft with guns, and they certainly know how to use them. Will thought it best to land at Beatty and make a phone call or two (all of us completely forgetting the presence of Glenn's beloved cellular phone in the back seat).
As we turned toward Beatty, Will got back on the radio and asked for Nellis' phone number so that we might give them a call from the ground, which the controller gruffly provided.
This must have hit a nerve, because just a few minutes later Nellis came back and informed us that we were cleared to enter R-4807A. Musta been a new guy who finally checked with his boss!
With that weirdness out of the way, we headed back north toward the twin radomes on Black Mountain. As we approached it, the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range (TPECR) came into view just to the west, so we detoured over to have a look at that (photo 34k).
I had previously seen the facility from Stonewall Peak, but from a direct overhead viewpoint it looked much less substantial. No airstrip, but a lot of expected radar and other electronic emplacements. At the main facility area there were several aluminum warehouse type buildings with large rollup doors. Access was via a paved road from Highway 95, which continued on to the radar facilities atop Black Mountain.
All in all, not extremely impressive and certainly not a secret saucer base! Which I suppose was exactly what they wanted us to think. We were playing right into their hands.
However, just a bit further north from the TPECR was what looked like a large desert airstrip with a number of aircraft on it. Now that was worth a look, so we proceeded over to it and circled. It turned out it was some sort of target area made up to look like an airstrip, with a collection of junked planes on it (photo 40k). We found out later that this site is called the "Korean Airfield", laid out to simulate a typical airstrip of, well,...the North Koreans. Just what you'd expect to find in Nevada.
Some of the aircraft had their wings detached from the fuselages and placed next to them on the ground (photo 44k). None of us could quite figure out just what kind of planes they were, although there appeared to be an assortment.
About this time, we must have been really annoying Nellis, because the radio crackled back into life and Nellis wanted to know "What your intentions were?" Well, we couldn't very well say we were looking for secret saucer bases, so Will diplomatically replied that we would be heading east toward Rachel. Nellis came back and instructed us to proceed toward Rachel without delay. We got the impression that civilian planes don't do this too often and they weren't going to relax until we were out of there.
So we started east, marveling at all the weird targets, bomb craters and various pieces of junk out there. In one location there was looked like a giant dirt parking area for all sorts of armored personnel carriers and perhaps tanks (photo 38k). It was likely a storage spot for potential range targets. Of course we were also keeping our eyes open for the secret saucer bases, but this being Sunday, they were apparently closed.
We checked out the Gold Flat area, a potential location for the Cheshire Airstrip (but that's another story), and saw nothing. Just desert and bombed areas.
As we were cruising east at about 9,500', we had a look into the Tonopah Test Range to the north. Its boundaries were fairly apparent due to the perimeter road used to access the cinetheodolites. The main base area of TTR was too far north to make out many details.
Unfortunately we didn't get too good a look into Area 19 of the NTS, as our route was a bit north of it and we picked up a bit of sun glare looking south. While we could have turned south and followed the border more closely, we were a bit nervous already at being where we were. Nellis had come back on the radio several times to warn us we were approaching the southerly boundary of TTR, so they might have freaked had we turned directly toward the NTS.
But while we might have been nervous, the Nellis boys seemed even more so. At one point they asked what our final destination was going to be (Are they going to be meeting us, we wondered??) and Will described out route back to Las Vegas. Nellis replied "Sightseeing, huh?", to which we could only agree.
I noted, with more than passing interest, the antics of our plane's transponder. The transponder flashes a light on the instrument panel whenever it's interrogated by a ground based radar. Normally, it flashes briefly every few seconds or so. In this area it was illuminated almost constantly! We were certainly being scanned a lot and I wondered if the light would burn out.
After passing just north of the appropriately named "Saucer Mesa" (strictly due to its shape!!) we crossed over the Kawich Valley just north of Kawich Lake. The lake had what appeared to be a giant bullseye in it, with a pole at its center. Don't know what it was.
Slowly, we could see Rachel and the normal world approaching off in the distance. But better than that was a choice view of Groom Lake looking right down the two runways to the south. The west runway still looked to be definitely the longer of the two. We were far enough from the main base so that we really couldn't pick up details, but we observed that the dirt road accessing Groom from the north (Rachel) is paved after it passes through the guard gate. So much for the idea that all really fine secret bases must be at the end of a dirt road.
After passing out of the restricted airspace, we collectively breathed a sigh of relief and headed for Rachel. We made a few low passes over Rachel to check things out. It looks about as forlorn from the air as from the ground. Getting bored with that, we turned south, flying over the Tikaboo Valley. We had hoped to get a good view of Bald Mountain and the facility atop it, but after cheating death by crossing the restricted area, we decided to keep our distance and never got a really good view due to aircraft vibration (photo 27k).
On the other hand, the view of Groom from high above Tikaboo Valley was nothing short of spectacular. From our vantage point there were no foothills to block the view, so the whole facility sprawled before us (photo 30k). From our height, even Papoose Lake was visible to the south. That view was worth the trip alone, and we weren't even in restricted airspace anymore.
Turning a bit to the east to skirt the remaining restricted areas put us right over Tikaboo Peak. It certainly looks flatter from the air. Don't understand why the hike is so hard. There was minor snow and looked to be hikable as of the time of our flight.
The rest of the trip was almost noneventful. I say almost because as we continued south over Highway 93, we needed to contact Las Vegas approach prior to entering the controlled airspace which surrounds the Las Vegas area. After several minutes of wondering why they weren't responding to our radio queries, we realized that the transmitter in our aircraft wasn't working! That was just swell. Will wisely brought along a hand held aircraft radio as a backup, but it appeared we were too far out to make contact with the lower powered radio.
Will decided the best way at this point was to drop below the lower ceiling of the controlled airspace and slither our way back to the North Las Vegas airport. Perfectly legal, but we were unable to be anymore than 2,000' or so above the ground. It's situations like this where the engine usually starts to make funny noises, but this time it behaved itself. Finally, with the airport in sight, Will was able to raise them on the handheld and we plopped back down with an exquisitely smooth landing, just after 10:00 am, three hours after we left. The folks at the rental agency seemed to think the problem was simply that the microphone plug was pulled out slightly, but Will had checked that possibility several times in the air. Personally, I think it was all those electronic countermeasures we flew over. Anyway, disaster averted.
All in all, an outstanding adventure and lots of fun. I'd highly recommend it for any aircraft buffs or anyone with interest in the NTS/Nellis area. I don't know that I'd do it again, as there just wasn't a whole lot to see, other that what we did see. It was certainly an itch I wanted to scratch.
The photos, quite frankly, suck. I mis-set my exposure meter and most of mine turned out very poor. Glenn and Will had better luck, but we were all shooting through the lousy plexiglass windows of the plane. I had not yet learned the trick of removing a single retaining screw on a Cessna's window frame, enabling it to open all the way up to the bottom of the wing. In this mode, Cessna's make great inexpensive camera ships. So there still is the potential to do the trip again and return with some excellent shots.

Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range

The Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range (TPECR) is a substantial, but publicly little known, facility of the Nellis Complex. It's located on Pahute Mesa, about 3 miles northeast of Tolicha Peak, and about 2 miles north and slightly west of Quartz Mountain. It is at least 20 miles south of the southerly boundary of the Tonopah Test Range (photo 34k)

Main access to the facility is via a paved road from Highway 95. The intersection of this access is about 20 miles north of the town of Beatty. There are no signs on the access, but after about 2 miles a guard house is reached, blocking further travel.

The only known ground viewpoint is about 18 miles away to the north, from any of a number of spots in the Stonewall Peak area. Of course, another alternative is from the air, since this facility is beneath a portion of airspace whose restriction was eased in July of 1995 to allow civilian overflights on weekends. A Sunday morning overflight is a distinct possibility and is something I have since done.

The view from the Stonewall Peak area reveals this to be an installation of considerable size, spread out over several square miles. The facilities are located out on Pahute Mesa and on the alluvial fans out away from the surrounding mountains. The main complex has a number of structures, including what appear to be 2 hangars, but they may also be warehouse or workshop structures. There were no obvious signs of a landing strip. To the north of the main complex, there was another interesting installation with some sort of long antenna array, laid out in an east/west direction. There were several other outlying facilities, consisting of at least a few sizable buildings each.

The Nellis range chart (a map of the airspace of the Nellis Complex for military pilots) shows a rectangular zone of airspace over this facility labeled, not surprisingly, "TPECR". (Portion of range chart, 53k) The map also shows two semicircular bulges on the north boundary of the TPECR box labeled "FAC ALPHA" and "FAC BRAVO". I have been told that these areas are Forward Air Control Alpha and Bravo and contained installations used for the training of pilots involved in the various Flag exercises.

Presumably from the name, the facility is involved in electronic combat operations involving aircraft. Some Tonopah Test Range documents refer to a "Tonopah Electronic Combat Range". The Tonopah Electronic Combat Range is located on the east side of TTR quite a few miles from TPECR.

It is uncertain just how long this facility has been in operation. A review of the Landsat "Pahute Mesa" 1:100,000 image, published by the USGS in 1984, suggests if the facility was there at that time, it was considerably smaller, although the limited resolution of the image makes positive identification difficult. If the facility is one that has either been built or greatly expanded in recent years, it may be the source of the stories, most often put forth by John Lear, that the alleged discs of Papoose Lake have been moved to Pahute Mesa. Thus a perfectly mundane, although secret, facility could have generated some pretty outlandish stories.

Since I've placed some of this info on the web, I have received bits of additional data from individuals who worked at TPECR or were familiar with it. The following is a particularly good rendition, from someone who prefers anonymity:

I have no current knowledge of Tolicha Peak/Pahute Mesa facilities, but I did work there, and at the Tonopah Electronic Combat Range, in the mid 70's - early 80's. At that time, as you indicated, all that was there was the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range.
To my extensive but dated, knowledge, Sandia does not have any facilities at Tolicha Peak. They do, as you know, have a facility at the Tonopah Test Range. From my knowledge (limited) of Sandia's mission I doubt that they would have much interest in the TPECR area. However, due to the physical proximity they might have a small support operation of some kind there. I don't find this very likely unless their mission has changed, as they had no interest during the period that I worked there.
I don't recall the exact date that operations began at Tolicha Peak but there was a small operation there in the mid 70's. At that time it operated as a satellite operation of the Tonopah ECR As more money and equipment became available it grew to a rather large operation.
It (and other Electronic Combat Ranges including the Tonopah Electronic Combat Range) was operated by the 554th Range Group at Nellis and later by Ford Aerospace as a contractor to the 554th. I understand that Ford lost/sold the contract, so someone else is now operating it.
Sandia's operations had no connection with the Tonopah Electronic Combat Range except for sharing the land and air space. They did provide some support to the TECR such as civil engineering, etc. TECR was essentially a lessee there. When I began work there most support facilities, i.e., buildings, belonged to Sandia. A few years later (roughly 1980) a new Operations and Maintenance Facility (site 4?) was built to the south and east of the Sandia compound. There was a helicopter pad there, and as I remember, some old (WW II?) bunkers. The presence of the bunkers was surely coincidental.
The Air Force started their electronic combat operations there in the early to mid 70's. The out growth of these operations is now known as Operation Red Flag and other such training exercises. The history of this training operation is pretty well documented in various books and other sources, even one bad movie that bore little resemblance to the real thing.
I think that a study of the 554th Range Group/Squadron, Operation Red Flag, and Nellis AFB in general, would provide explanations for many of the stories that surround Area 51 and other locations in the Nevada desert.
For example, the 554th built extensive targets throughout the area, including at least three airfields. They were made as realistic as possible within time and funding constraints, and the knowledge that they would be bombed, sometimes with live ordinance. Many looked very real from a distance especially from the air, as was intended. Salvaged vehicles, various portable shelters, plywood tanks, and even an occasional airplane were, and I presume still are, used to add realism to some relatively crude earth work.

Country Grows More Insane

Simon Cowell has been captured displaying his middle finger to millions of impressionable young people across America.

Cowell disavowed the gesture, even though it has obviously been captured on tape and seen by hordes of children. "Sometimes I lean on my index finger. Sometimes a different finger. Sometimes two at the same time, or, God help me, even the whole hand. I never even thought about it until now," he transparently lied.

From Reuters: The Federal Communications Commission has "received a few complaints" about the incident, spokesman Richard Diamond told Reuters. The agency typically reviews such complaints to determine if an investigation is warranted.

I was listening to the radio this morning and this guy said most people aren't aware that God puts food on their table. If you don't know God then let me know if you want to know him and I would be happy to make the introduction. I depend on him for everything in my life and I can say with absolute certain that God has never failed me. My wife and I are well taken care of. God is very real and he is always listening for you to speak with him.

Even though he created all that ever existed and there is nothing that exists without him, you can talk to him directly or through his Son or his Spirit. They are always present and patient to hear your words. You know God said, I will go before you as a consuming fire and my Spirit will be your rear guard. So no matter how bad it can get he is there waiting for your words. He absolutely love you in ways you can't even touch!

Just listen for that quiet voice within.

The Beloved Community

intermediary priesthood or church. The Beloved Community, though it has its roots in esoteric Christianity, strives to honor all paths to God, especially as they relate to inner and world peace.

The Ultimate goal of the Beloved Community is to demonstrate the Divinity of Life that is revealed every moment of our lives, and in doing so, to create a world of lasting compassion and peace. We are a spiritual and educational church organization that strives to align itself with the teachings of inner peace at the center of every religion and sacred scripture.

The Beloved Community is an extension of and claims its lineage from the first century group known as “The Community of the Beloved Disciple,” founded by St. John the Apostle shortly after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. This ancient community has its roots in many other groups throughout history, including the Cathars (Also called the “Church of Love”), and the Knights Templar, as well as several other modern manifestations. Our goal is to fulfill the commission Jesus gave to St. John, asking him to reunite the feminine and masculine aspects of the Christ. Special emphasis is given to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. The Community of the Beloved Disciple has always believed that Divine Revelation is a personal experience that occurs between the individual and God, and is not contingent upon an intermediary priesthood or church. The Beloved Community, though it has its roots in esoteric Christianity, strives to honor all paths to God, especially as they relate to inner and world peace.

The stock market is up and my share are down. I hope my stocks start following the Market or at least go up. In the mean time I think I need to find a few more avenues to bring home the bacon. I cant believe this three days in and I'm my only visitor. I guess that is ok. It is like my log of thoughts.

I really am hoping lots of truths come out in the inquirey on September 11th. Let the truth be told!

Subject: Prophesy from Baghdad (conference call)

Beloved Friends,

I have just arrived safe from our peace mission to Baghdad, and I have

something amazing to report to you. Spiritual leaders from around the world, including many of the top Muslim and Christian leaders from Iraq, joined us at the National Theater in Baghdad for an interfaith peace ceremony that was legendary, to say the least. We knew this was going to be a life changing journey for all of us, but I don't think any of us were ready for everything that happened, especially the information I would like to share with all of you at one of three conference calls I will be doing this week. This information is so important that I want to give as many people as possible the chance to hear it directly from me. Two of the spiritual leaders we brought to Baghdad, Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the renowned carrier of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, and Jose Arguilles, the holder and interpreter of the Mayan Prophesies, joined together to complete two prophesies that come from both their trad! The results are stunning and have far reaching applications for our time. This, I believe, was the real reason Spirit led us to Iraq, and now I would like to share this information with you.

Here's How:

Our teleconference room can only hold 500 people, and I'm sure thousands around the world will want to share in this call. Therefore, I will share this information live three times this week, on Tuesday at 9PM, Wednesday at 6PM , and Thursday at 12 noon (all times are east coast - New York time). I suggest you enter the conference room early to make sure you have a space, otherwise all three will likely be filled.

DIAL-IN NUMBER: 1-641-594-7500

CONFEREE PIN: 90012#

If you would like to ask me any questions during the call, you can go to

our chat room on www.emissaryoflight.com and ask them there. I will try to get to as many as I can during the half hour call. Most importantly, I look forward to sharing this vital information that came from Iraq, as well as the whole story of our journey. It inspired all of us, and I'm sure it will have the same effect on all of you.

See you in the teleconference room.

Peace,

James Twyman

I always find it extremely interesting how all of us humans think that the sun rises and sets on the human race and maybe it actually does. I can't know that for sure. I believe God created all things. I believe that God is a jealous God. On the other hand where and when did man appear on the face of this earth? It has been my belief that we may have actually appeared after what is or has been considered the fall in the gard of eden. If we could figure that one out then we might know how long man has been on earth.

You could see mankind before the fall as a spirit being or a light being that God had created in his image. Man in this condition was in the image of God. Man though like God wasn't God and sought after a partner to share with. So in that God separated the spirit of the man to create a separate being to be there for each other. The very differences between the two caused a friction or as the bible says "sin" and then God took the man and the woman and put them into what we see as the human body. Well that is my perspective. What is yours?

Random but Deliberate

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 05:02:49 GMT

Life is random but deliberate. It is random to give all entities the creativity that they were created with. This is to say we created man in our image. Man is a creative being. The earth is creative the sun is creative the galaxy is creative. The Universe is creative. That which has no name is creative. This name remains a mystery to this created being.

It is all deliberated because it is all in the design. The design began with a thought that began to build till it became more than a thought and it had structure and within the structure there are laws that give the structure its being and this all goes on into infinity. With each part of the design limits are found and then new designs spring from the limitation to create a new design with new functions. The universe is created with deliberate random creativity.

Each atom or particle within each atom is unique in what it does and within its limits it is creative. These are foundations onto which all that have been created fall into. Mankind cannot know the face of God when it is a function of God, a created being, or creation of God.

In a very simple way, I can explain this with this little illustration.

When you work in the heat you begin to perspire, this perspiration may have the inclination to say, “I am this being that created me.”

Some might argue that this is true for this little drop of perspiration came from the body that created it, but now it isn’t a part of the creativity of the being that created it. It is waste but it may water a plant that will grow from what it gives the plant.

Then how can we as men say we are God? We are all a part of God but not God.

Mankind has come a long way since the time of the caveman. But then if you think about it for even just a little while, you will see that in some ways maybe we are less than the caveman.

I really guess that it all depends on how you look at the big picture. Sure we are way ahead in technology. That goes without saying. We have space stations in orbit around the earth, we have electricity, we live in glass houses, and the list can go on forever.

What is it though that binds us all together? Are there millions of years of man? We still have the same passions or do we? Has the spirit or soul of man always been the same? You really have to wonder. Is there a God? If there is a God, did he put the spirit of man within this frail body of ours?

That question has probably been asked millions of times. Has the question ever been answered? It might have, though it has never been spoken to me.
