Greetings. The planet we reside on is a gorgeous, watery home for the fauna and flora now in existence, although it has often challenged life to change and undergo evolutionary adaptations as environmental conditions have mandated. Life has survived global ice ages, intense volcanism, asteroid impacts, and atmospheric turnover, but one factor has recently had a powerful influence on complex life on the planet; the presence of human beings.  Recent scientific research has determined that our species, Homo sapiens, was once close to extinction. Between 930,000 and 813,000 years ago, according to the available data and evidence, the global population of humans was only at approximately 1,500 individuals, with about 1,280 being of breeding age, capable of sexual reproduction. That is a very low number, a total which brings genetic diversity and viability issues to the forefront. The information that has been uncovered by archeologists strongly suggests that various climate changes had ...

Greetings. The UFO problem has been at the center of spirited discussion for more than a few decades now, but has the talk led anywhere? Have any definitive answers fallen into our collective lap, or are we still in the dark? In my humble opinion, the UFO problem has not been solved, nor have any answers been found that are supported by verified data and information. None. However, the UFO subculture seems to have a different point of view, to hell with the necessity for proof or irrefutable evidence. For most UFO people, the question of alien visitation has already been answered, although those same individuals are unable to provide proof to prove their point to the masses, and are incapable of objectively supporting their belief structures. Sounds like religion. The belief is strong, and the acceptance of unsubstantiated claims is even stronger, to the point of blinding faith and adherence. To be blunt, the possibility of alien visitation cannot be discounted out of hand, but the bli...
