At various time within the list century cen-tury assertions bavo been made that Adam and the nntedlluilm peoplu wero of extraordinary height, but the assertion have nln)B been laughed down by scoffers who neier think for themseltee In 1718 Henrlun n member mem-ber of the Krencli rademy of Sciences, published a pamphlet In which ho ns-serteil ns-serteil that the personage ot the III-blo III-blo wero of tlio following height Adam, 133 feet 9 Inches, Eve, 118 fvet 9 Inches: Noah, :T feet, Abrnm. 30 feet, and Moses. 13 ferL 1, too, said n scientific student of tho lllble. In speaking speak-ing of this nutter recently, nm confirmed con-firmed In the belief that the prehistoric prehis-toric races were gigantic, but figure out their statures by a process of reasoning rea-soning different from that promulgated by llenrlon According to tho Old Testament "there were giants on earth In those days whoso dsughtcr were married to tho sons of nod, and whose sons became mighty men A'ao, tho sons of Anak, In whose sight men were said to bo but grasshoppers. (Clrauhoppers of that period wero as largo as the twentieth century dog) Tho Emmtns and Zitmiuminalns wero giant nations. Og, tho king of Hash-an, Hash-an, remained of tho remnant of giants; (lollath, of Oath, was n giant." According Ac-cording to Oenesls, Noih lived 930 years and then die.! Tha average life of man today Is about 70 years It Is n well defined rule In nature that animals, ani-mals, bipods and quadruped live about three and one-half time the number of years required for Individual maturity. matu-rity. Thus man In this century matures ma-tures In twenty years nnd dies at tho ago of 70 years. Dividing tho ago of Noah by three and one-halt wo find that he matured In about 270 years. Tho average roan of today at maturity measures about S feet and weighs 131 pounds l'lvo feet in twenty years Is equivalent to 3 Inches In one year. Applying tho same rule to Noah's maturing ma-turing years, wo find that at his maturity ma-turity ho was 67 feet tall nnd weighed 1.37S pounds. It stands to reason that If Noah was so great In body, Adam must bao been equally ns largo. Tho mere fact that Adam was never born evidence that he was a gigantic man Everything created during tho formation forma-tion ages was according to a icry largo standard. Tho trees were skyscrapers, sky-scrapers, the animals Immense nnd alt other things In proportion. Why should Adam hao been n freak In this array. 4f.caltaaaltulurf-t3lrlllian:nd mulllpllrntlonor-tho."rncoidiniliiltft the lives of Individuals as well as the statures. WhyT Possibly because our civilization Is an unnatural perversion of the life contemplated by our Creator Crea-tor for us, and ns free agents wo art gradually destroying tho raro as a penalty pen-alty for our wrong Interpretation of our mission Tha power to multiply having been gh en us, death Is n natural natu-ral consequence, hut death by natural decay, Instead ot death by disease, crime, war, pestilence, result of civilization, civ-ilization, was contemplatod Hcncoour civilization nnd all other civilizations nro more or leas responsible for the Inevitable extinction ot tho race A curious mathematical coincidence lay In tho nbovo proof of man's decline In stature and ago. Thus the staturo of man In a fow more than 0,000 years, according to Halo's chronology being tho ngo of tho human lace, and according accord-ing to my deductions, has decreased from 05 to S feet, at which rate of decrease de-crease the world will bo depopulated In 4G1 years, or tho year 2303. Tho age ot man has llkowlso decreased froii 900 to 70 years In tho same time, at which rata the raco will become extinct ex-tinct In about C1 ears, or the year 2303. As you obscrvo, both deductions reach the same conclusion, There may bo an clement ot truth In this theory, at least It Is worth probing Tho great troublo with us today Is that wo are too easily satisfied: wo lack the ability and energy to "figure out" or "search for evidences of truth," and Instead, accept all kinds of theories and dogmas as they aro presented to us, surrounded mostly by a halo of fanaticism. Impossible and absurd. |
