Welcome

Welcome to my inner sanctum. I am, as my cousin LuAnn so nicely put it, a "born again, founding fathers, conservative." I am opinionated and you are apt to find anything on this page.

I would like to hear from you: hendroni@earthlink.net

Legends? or Truth?

There is much evidence around the world that advanced societies have existed before us.  If it’s true, and there have been advanced civilizations on this planet before and the legends we hear about them represent the highest technical achievements of those civilizations, then we are all in mortal danger.

Our DNA (the infamous double helix) is made up of four proteins, labled A, T, C, and G.  At first, genetic research was confined to just manipulating these letters to make modest changes to an organism.  Soon, they discovered that certain combinations of these letters made “words” and they could manipulate whole words to change things like eye color, or hair color.  Now, they have learned that these “words” make “sentences” and they are able to manipulate entire “sentences”!  Anyone who has seen the altered chickens with breast so large the chickens are not able to stand up can attest to the fact that genetic manipulation has reached an amazing level of sophistication.

How long do you think it will be before scientists can manipulate entire paragraphs?  Will this usher in the era of mixed breeds?  Is this where the legends of half man half beast such as Centaurs, Satyrs and Mermaids come from?



A television show recently told about a young scientist who, through gene splicing, managed to extend the lifespan of a yeast spore by ten times its normal duration.  He went on to say that it is only a matter of time before scientists can do the same with human cells!  Is this where the legends of eight and nine hundred year old biblical characters came from?

If these legends do, in fact, represent the highest level of achievement for those previous civilizations, then we have come full circle because we are at the threshold of those very same achievements.  It only follows that whatever they did to destroy themselves, we are about to do ourselves.
