    In promos and media, Ivar looks like your average blood-thirsty viking that will probably crush your skull with one hand just because you happen to cross his path, but in reality he looks like the friendliest person ever. He's by far the nicest guy to have ever been part of the black metal scene.

    We are all part of an ecosystem, part of nature, yet why do we feel greater than nature? Why do we constantly do things that damage nature? Something we are depending on for survival and life, and the way this planet is supposed to be. Trees are ancient spirits with massive complex underground root systems, they can grow up to thirty miles, and one root system known as 'Pando' is thought to be 80'000 to one million years old, the roots are used to send vibrations from one tree to another as a form of communication and can send each other nutrients to support other trees in their system. And they convert Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) into O2 (Oxygen, which we need to survive). After all this, you might be wondering why we cut them down to build for our society. The answer is the ego, it gives our sense of self, and our self-importance, we think that nature is a phase of life and that we are gods that can bring a new world to light, nice thinking, but unfortunately Mother Earth doesn't give a fuck about your society. You want to understand nature? Then you must work hard to feel her, through experience, studies and more experience. We are facing a mass extinction, in eleven years we will reach the point of no return, anthropogenic extinction is coming and it's the greatest mass extinction this planet will ever see, and we can still stop it. Please join us at Extinction Rebellion, where we will fight with peaceful protest to raise awareness, and maybe we can live past 2050. Peace and love beautiful siblings.

    I listened to E like 3 times in a row. What a jewel it is!! No need to apologize about talking about evolution though. We Christians understand science as part of an engineering creation, and man’s efforts to understand it.

    • @osmark86
      @osmark86 5 років тому

      while I don't agree with you on the first bit (engineered creation) I fully agree that it is our effort to piece it together. atoms thinking about atoms et al. and yes, E is a jewel \m/

    • @alessandrobernardi9258
      @alessandrobernardi9258 5 років тому +8

      It's an icelandic wolf cross, a symbol that has nothing to do with satanic bullshit. That symbol dates back to the 11th century and the vikings started to use it when the christianization of scandinavia reached its peak. It's basically a thor hammer and a christian cross combined.

    • @ivanspence1137

      MyBichSustained until you realize that to put God and Creation in the same sentence is a mistake..
      If you accept that the universe is wholly material, nothing immaterial except that which is idealized/ephemeral, then you must deny that a deity can exist therein.
      If you attempt to place God outside of Nature, youve hardly solved the dilemma, for if you are to say "God created," You leave unsolved the problem of evolutionary emergence we witness throughout time and space..
      For nothing we observe in the universe thus far, comes from above, but rather arises from properties within the subject in question.
      Spacetime being endless and infinite, is more than sufficient to explain its own existence.

    • @MyBichSustained
      @MyBichSustained 6 років тому +1

      God created the blueprints and planted the seeds and let what most call evolution take it's course on earth and the universe.
      Billions of man made years is nothing in this patient process!God and Creation in the same sentence is a never a mistake!

    • @mekelpekelekel1298
      @mekelpekelekel1298 5 років тому +1

      The only thing I know is that mother nature is our earthly spirit, and the universe has its own spirit too. No gods or imaginary demons, just simply the spirit of all nature.

    What is “Christian science”, Christianity does not oppose science. Pope himself is a physician by his education. Darwin (if we’re speaking about evolution here), was a Christian. Even Einstein , the physician was a religious man.
    And does Ivar knows that there’s a Christian sign on his neck (same as his cross tattoo)? Inverted cross is a religious sign of Christianity same as not inverted , because Peter was crucified on inverted cross
