    I wonder why there was no mention of the Bristlecone Pine? Over 4 thousand years old. Each one. High up in the mountains in California. Discovered by a scientist who cut one down to examine the rings. The story goes, he had to count twice in disbelief when he realized what he had done. Now they are protected, and the location is not readily available. There is a film about this, but I don't remember the name unfortunately.

Is that even possible?? If you take a watch apart and put all the pieces in a bag and shake it, will it become a watch? Yet all he necessary pieces are right there. Please pick up your Bible and begin reading right from the beginning. It will make a lot of sense.

    the plant at 3:33 looks like a "Hoyia" to me (not sure of spelling). Does that mean that the plant he was talking about (some tasteless berry) and showing, is not even the right plant. Besides he showed two different berry bushes for this ancient 13,000 yr old plant. Oops, oh yeah, it's been re-dated to be 8,000 yrs.- what kind of "teaching" is this?! Get the facts straight AND the correct pictures!
