The Raftman's Razor
(1)
Journey of Mankind. This elegant visual history ends before the creation of Adam and Eve about six thousand years ago. By the way, the History Channel had an interesting piece (two or three weeks ago) on the possible location of the Garden of Eden: the Persian Gulf. According to the theory, global warming caused 'the garden' to be flooded at the end of the most recent Ice Age, and it now rests underwater. Theoretically, the remains of The Tree of Knowlege - and more importantly the remains of The Tree of Life, could still exist in those waters. If the remains of those two trees are ever found at the bottom of the Persian Gulf then modern science might be able to recreate those two trees in the labratory. Hmm!
The Raftman's Razor. If that link doesn't work try this. This short video is best viewed after a shot of booze transports you out of 'economic mode.' Caution: It's a bit 'Zen-ish' and you might not be able to forget it. If you do choose to view the video be forewarned that there is a test in the next post, so pay close attention lest you flunk.
