DOES A GIANT INDEX FINGER IN EGYPT POINT TO THE TRUTH OF GENESIS 6?

Today, the average male middle finger is about 4 inches long. The index (pointing) finger is usually about half an inch shorter than the middle finger on the average man of today. So what could be said for an ancient, mummified human index finger 38 cm or just under 15 inches long? If it’s a mummified human finger then the owner must have been upwards of 20 feet tall!

The original date of the discovery was in 1988 but the photos come from an article published in the German Bild newspaper in March 2012. A man named Spörri, an archaeologist or treasure hunter (I’m not sure) claimed to have been given a chance to study and photograph the object still held by and its “discoverer”  refused to relinquish it for any price. To be fair with respect to an evaluation of this artifact and the article this description of Bild is from Wikipedia:

 “The Bild newspaper (or Bild-Zeitung, literally Picture Newspaper; pronounced [ˈbɪlt]) is a Germantabloid published by Axel Springer AG.

 The paper is published from Monday to Saturday; on Sundays, its sister paper Bild am Sonntag ("Picture on the Sunday") is published instead, which has a different style and its own editors. Bild is tabloid in style but broadsheet in size. It is the best-selling non-Asian newspaper (after The Times of India became the highest-circulating non-Japanese newspaper) and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide.[1] Its motto, prominently displayed below the logo, is unabhängig, überparteilich ("independent, nonpartisan"). Another slogan used prominently in advertising is Bild dir deine Meinung!, which translates as "Form your own opinion!" (by reading Bild), a pun based on the fact that in German, Bild is a homophone of the imperative form of the verbGerman: bilden (English: to form) and the nounGerman: Bild, (English: picture, image).

 Bild has been described as "notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism" and as having a huge influence on German politicians.[2] Its nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be the British national newspaper The Sun, the second highest selling European tabloid newspaper, with which it shares a degree of rivalry.” Wikipedia…

 From the Article: “CAIRO -- What on earth is THAT? In the photo we see a giant scary finger. You will recognize it almost immediately, but will still have to look twice. The bone appears to have been chopped off. As if by a hatchet. And very, very old. Mummified. In some places; crumbled. Torn, leathery skin. Split, loose nails.

Giant Finger compared with finger xray?

Yes, indeed, the gruesome relic seems to be a finger, but huge, 38 cm long. What is the secret behind it? Few people have ever seen this finger since 1988 up close and now it's photos are being viewed in Germany.

 It has an x-ray image to prove its authenticity (photo below). On the last day of his private investigation, Spörri was given leave in 1988 to contact an old man who was a grave robber who found it. About 100 kilometers northeast of Cairo, the meeting took place in a farm house at Bir Hooker. For $300 Spörri could take a look at the family treasure of unsold items of the grave robber. Wrapped in old rags was the bone and dermis.

 Spörri told our news reporters: "It was an oblong package, that smelled musty. I was totally flabbergasted when I saw the dark brown relic was allowed to take it in hand and also take pictures, a bill put next to it to get a size comparison. "The bent finger was split open and covered with dried mold. "It was surprisingly light, maybe a few hundred grams.

 My heart was in my throat. It was incredible! The owner of the finger would have been about twenty feet tall… "The grave robber showed the Swiss man that the finger also had a certificate of authenticity and an X-ray image.

 Both are from the 1960s when it was originally found. "The grave robber implored all in the name of Allah saying it was sacred.

 He would not sell the finger. It was to him and his family much too important … " Today Spörri regrets that he was the only person with the photos of the finger. For years it occupied his thoughts. Scientists were not interested in the finger, which they consider impossible to be real.

Giant Finger with original xray authentication

"The Relic does not fit into their theories," the discoverer told BILD.de. He did not want to make a mockery of the experts, and decided to let the story rest. It was not until 2009, he went back to search for the ancient Arabs and the relic. But the traces in Bir Hooker had come to nothing …”

Conclusion: Is this a real artifact? Not if you ask science. Ironic in that the grave robber tried to use the scientific process-the xray to overcome the objections of the naysayers. I say again that for believers if this proves to be real it serves to reinforce what we already believed in terms of biblical accuracy. If it proves to be a fake we will still believe that David cut off a giant who was a remnant of the Nephilim’s head. If it proves to be real and science is forced to reckon with it and other giant artifacts—science is going to have some explaining to do.

Woman photographed with shadow figure while out to lunch with family

A woman went out to lunch with her family and while waiting for their food one of the family members started taking photos. After reviewing the images later that night, she noticed something strange in one of the photos. 

"I'm not sure what it is or if its anything at all. My family and I went to the Carvery in Reading for Sunday lunch, that's where the photo was taken. I think I have something here," 

According to Parris, a family member had taken multiple photos of her back-to-back and in one of the images a strange ghost appeared. The first photo she submitted appears to be normal whereas thesecond photo taken immediately after captured a black figure standing behind her.

What do you think the eerie figure is? Is it a real person? Is it a hoax?

Cloudy with a chance of…flying carpets? Residents left shocked by bizarre SQUARE cloud

Homeowners in Exeter, Devon wasted no time snapping photographs for Facebook and excitedly posting on Twitter about the flying carpet shaped cloud hanging over the city.

The sharp-edged cloud formation was first spotted on Saturday afternoon and gained mainstream attention when it was tweeted by Laura Gilchrist, an employee at the Met Office.

She posted: "So this evening, over Exeter, there was a rhombus-shaped cloud".

But those looking for a sensational or supernatural explanation for the water vapour suspended in the shape of Aladdin's flying carpet are set to be disappointed.

A Met Office spokesman reassured residents that the cloud just an oddly-shaped contrail – the man-made clouds formed by the water vapour blasted from a plane's jet engine as it moves through the air.

But while contrails normally appear as two thin stripes tracing a plane's progress through the sky – a mixture of atmospheric conditions transformed this example into a floating rectangle.

The Met Office spokesman said: "In this case an aircraft has moved through a pocket of air with the right conditions for the contrail to form, meaning there is just a short section.

"The wind is blowing at right angles to the contrail, and due to the right atmospheric conditions this is causing the ice crystals in that trail to spread outwards - creating this rectangular shaped cloud.

"It's unusual to see the cloud edges quite so well-defined as in this example but the processes involved are very common"

Evidence of time travel popping up all over the Internet

The signs are unmistakable. The evidence is everywhere. The laws of space and time sway and crumble as you read this. YouTube has exposed their presence. They are time travelers.

Loopers come in many forms. Modern day men pose alongside pioneers in history books. Hipsters stick out in crowds well before their time. Cowboys use iPhones as they ride in stagecoaches. DeLoreans appear parallel-parked alongside curbs in grainy footage from decades past. Extras in Charlie Chaplin films casually chat on cell phones. School children carry Macbook Airs … during the Cold War.

Can anyone really deny that time travelers are moving fluidly throughout history?

You be the judge.

Inspiring Pictures Of Shaolin Monks Training

Shaolin Kungfu practiced by monks from Shaolin Monastery takes martial arts to a brand new level.

As Shaolin monks believe the strength comes only from the mind, there are almost no limits to what can be done with their bodies during the trainings. They practice techniques centered around balance, strength, endurance, and self defense. They can endure incredible amounts of pain while barely flinching. The design and arrangements of their movements are based on the medical knowledge of ancient China and conforms to the rule of movement of the human body.

They believe that what their bodies can endure is symptomatic of the strength of their souls and minds.

Does Quantum Physics Imply That You Are Immortal?

Is Schrödinger's Cat immortal? And by extension, does that mean that both you and I will live forever as well?

In the famed thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects the radioactivity from a single atom decaying, the poison is released into the sealed box, killing the cat. But in the weird world of quantum mechanics - or more specifically in this case, the 'Copenhagen interpretation' of quantum mechanics - the cat would supposedly remain in a state of 'superposition', both alive and dead, until an observation or measurement is made by an external observer opening the box, collapsing the wavefunction - and finding the cat either alive or dead. Schrödinger did not see this as a serious possibility - instead, his thought experiment was meant to show a problem with the Copenhagen interpretation.

Another interpretation of quantum mechanics, formulated in 1957 by Hugh Everett, removed the problematic wavefunction collapse. In the 'Many Worlds' interpretation, rather than collapsing from superposition into a single reality, the wavefunction branches into multiple realities consisting of each possible outcome. This interpretation of quantum mechanics carries with it the mind-boggling implication that all possible histories exist, each contained within its very own universe (or 'world', as per 'Many Worlds'). Every time a decision is made, another complete universe splits off from this one.

In the Many Worlds interpretation, Schrödinger's experiment has created two completely separate universes...one in which the cat is dead, and another in which it remains alive. The 'collapse of the wavefunction' is an illusion caused by viewing the outcome from only one of the universes. And if Schrödinger carries out the experiment again, he creates another two universes, one with another dead cat, and another with the cat still alive.

Keen observers might note that, in Many Worlds, among the infinite branching of universes, there remains one branch in which the cat continues to be alive. It is claimed that Hugh Everett saw his theory as guaranteeing immortality to conscious beings: at each branching of universes between death and living, a being's consciousness is bound to continue following the living path (given that consciousness, according to orthodox modern science, does not continue beyond death).

The 'quantum suicide' thought experiment, devised in the 1980s as the Many Worlds parallel of the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, illustrates the concept:

A physicist sits in a chair with a gun pointed at his head. The gun is attached to a machine that measure the spin of a quantum particle. Every time the trigger is pulled, the spin of the particle is measured. If the particle spins clockwise, the gun fires, killing the physicist. If the particle spins anti-clockwise, the gun won’t fire – there’ll only be a click.

The physicist keeps running the experiment, but all he ever hears is a click – the gun never goes off. Because each time the trigger is pulled, the universe splits, creating two universes – one where the physicist dies and one where he lives. From the living physicist’s point of view, the gun just keeps clicking. But in all the other universes, there’s a dead body.

The implication is that, among the infinity of universes being created, we will all follow the particular branch that guarantees our immortality. That's not to say you haven't died though. We will all experience the deaths of our friends and family at some point, as they - at some point - diverge from our personal 'branch of immortality' and follow their own. That car accident where you can't understand how you weren't killed? You were in another universe, but not the one you're in now. In that other universe, your family grieved your passing, while in this one we carry on.

But before you begin celebrating your god-like quantum immortality, note that the theory has been criticized. Physicist Max Tegmark has explained that life and death situations are not always dependent on binary events like the quantum experiment. And it's difficult to understand how, as aging beings, we can overcome the ticking clock of time in slowly destroying our physical body and brain.

Unless maybe in your branching universe you discovered the secret to eternal youth...

Mysterious Crop Circle Appears In Wheat Field

A mysterious giant crop circle has appeared overnight in a field belonging to a German farmer.

It has attracted thousands of visitors from far and wide who have flocked to the scene to sing, dance and meditate within the ornate design.

One observer said: "I believe you can only rule out, you can only ask yourself, what can be definitely ruled out as a cause for this.

"The newspapers are reporting that it was college students who raked the field, but when you see the elaborate design of the circles from above, that seems very unlikely. Those circles are looking very good."

Another visitor added: "I think it's almost impossible for this to appear overnight, and to do it in such an exact and precise manner. How is this possible?"

Measuring 75 metres in diameter (246 feet), it was discovered by a balloonist flying over the wheat field near Weilheim.

Farmer Christoph Huttner, who owns the field, told the dpa news agency it was not his creation, but may have been the work of students on summer holiday.

He added he was unsure whether he would be keeping the crop circle.
