Obviously, the "place" of sunrise and sunset is relative to your position.
Technically, the sun isn't rising and setting at all - the planet is spinning.
For a stationary observer on planet earth, they will observe sunrise east of their position and sunset west of their position.
It's entirely...
I'm pretty sure that half of the deistic people who believe in a vaguely Christian but mostly distant and uninvolved Creator are pretty much neo-platonists. And most of the Esoteric folk that talk about destined eternal souls, laws of attraction, manifesting happiness and such things... If you...
Dogs might be what made our species what it is today.
(See Pat Shipman, The Invaders)
or
Cats, on the other hand, just regular pets, aren't they?
I'd talk more about cats, but you need to excuse me, my lord demands that I do my monkey job and pick the ticks from his fur and then serve dinner...
Unknown process?
If it is bronze or silver it should be very easy to do.
So you could first make a the ball. Then you cover the ball in a layer of clay and form that clay into the polygon shape that's the inside surface of your desired dodecahedron. Then you model your dodecahedron in wax all...
To be clear, they probably didn't use those for RPGs, it might have been a divination tool (though tbh, rolling a dice to see if your sword strike connects is a kind of divination as well, isn't it!?).
There are a number of objects like this, inscribed with a variation of either Greek or Roman...
No. Just no.
The Egyptians were pretty convinced that the sun travels while the earth stays still.
Some guy adding a pyramid into his crazy inverted universe in 1898 does not have influence on Egyptian cosmology 5000 years ago.
Interestingly enough, here in Germany we use "soft drinks" quite frequently, but never "pop" or "soda". (But "poppen" is a colloquial term for having sexual intercourse, so perhaps be cautious about asking for a pop in Germany...)
In German it would be Limonaden or Alkoholfreie Getränke. And...
Do you have any support for this apart from "could have"?
I'd expect that the flood phases you propose would affect certain regions of the earth first. There are very few animals that are able to leave an area fast enough to avoid a large-scale natural disaster. If we use our example of...
Yeah, but according to your flood hypothesis the majority of fossilized animals all died in the same catastrophic event: Being 'non-deformed' wouldn't have saved anyone from the flood, right? So in the entirety of the fossil record, you should still find a majority of regular phenotypes.
And...
Why?
Where do you see the issue?
Yes to both - fossils are very rare, as compared to the entirety of animals that ever lived and died. And science works with the finds we gave and tries to draw conclusions from those we find.
That's why science keeps changing. We build models, we test them, we...
The biggest difference is between the Ursini and the rest of the clade.
Here's the group that is genetically pretty close and can or did interbreed:
And here's the wider clade with those that are sitting on their own branches of the ursid tree and are genetically much different:
1 - Bears. Black bears, grizzlies and Polar bears are reasonably close and can or could interbreed
But Giant Pandas and spectacled bears are much different. And what about other animals such as the Red Panda and the Koala which aren't bears at all?
2 - 6000 years? Think again, you have 1000...
"Little Variation in color and size" won't give you the necessary wide variation of species on earth today... especially not if you try to include extinct groups.
For example, try elephants. They have a long gestation and age slowly, leading to a very long generation time. Then figure in all...
By one of our stories, it was when the sun god grew old and the humans planned rebellion.
So the first sin would be: planning to attack a god and rebelling against righteous authority.
From a modern point of view, I don't agree - I think this story is probably a parable told to support a...
