This is great -

OK - AFAIK Art Bell is not a Christian. If he is, it's recent. But I don't think so.

Anyway - he has an evolutionist on the air talking about how global warming, probably caused by volcanos in Russia, caused a mass extinction of a mammal age giving rise to the Dinosaur age.

He was talking about how rediculous it is that some politicians don't want to teach evolution in schools.

Art Bell responded - "I agree with you, it is rediculous - but it doesn't really matter because I'm going to be raptured anyway" - in a completely serious voice.

Sometimes he has a way of just being a complete hoot!

No - it's definitely shifted towards the red spectrum.

You have to have a conservative sense of "humor" in order to see it.

Bingo.

You do realize if this is the same Art Bell, that he is also the one saying that the US government is hiding the Aliens in Area 51, and that the airplanes are causing clouds to cover the world to block out the sun, etc...

I'm amazed you are taking him seriously at all...

bratboy · 2005-03-21 2:59 pm

It would be foolish to believe that Art Bell subscribes to any and every idea that any speaker on his show might profess.

Cyberpawz · 2005-03-21 3:04 pm

I thought I heard he left his show due to threats...

Meh, and in any case I wouldn't put it past him in believing everything that is thrown onto his show. (if it's still around) He sounds more unhinged than most people are legally allowed to be and still be out of an institution.

bratboy · 2005-03-21 3:07 pm

He's been on-and-off the air due to health issues. He knows how to run an interesting show with rather interesting people, but I've never understood his personal beliefs (when he makes them known) to be too off-the-wall.

I'm not sure of the current state of his show, and whether or not he's currently on the air.

Seems to me the point of this thread is not taking him seriously.

Most of Art's guests sound like they should be institutionalized, or at least put on a stiff regimen of heavy-duty medications. The real reason I can't listen for more than 2 or 3 minutes at a clip, though, is because Art's got that hardcore smoker's death rattle going; that right there is way scarier than anything his guests could dream up.

"a mass extinction of the Mammal age giving rise to the dinosaur age"

Isn't that backwards (and gramatically incorrect to boot)?

Besides, if Bell is a creationist he would not believe dinosaurs existed at all or did during the early days of man. You know, from when he was a kid.

I didn't know that had a name. Seriously, what's the deal on this? The sky around here resembles a checkerboard sometimes; I don't remember jet exhausts staying in place for hours like that (or even being that wide) even a few years ago.

Actually no - whether they were mammals like we are mammals is not known, but I have heard this before from actual scientists (at Cal - Dr Robert C. Stebbins was curator of Zoology there, and a member of our church, and a staunch evolutionist - though he didn't buy most of what was watered down for the masses)

Before the age of the dinosaurs, there was a mass extinction that allegedly killed off 90% of life on earth (I'm not sure how they get those numbers but anyway) and the ancestors of dinosaurs were better adapted to the aftermath of the mass extinction than these mammals were - resulting in the age of the reptiles. Mammals did not go extinct, however, but they were not dominant - and allegedly were able to take advantage of the aftermath of the asteroid (or whatever) that brought the age of the reptiles to an end.

resedit · 2005-03-22 9:41 pm

btw - I won't be offended if you don't buy it, I don't buy it either - that's just too much to have happened in a 6,000 year period tongue

ShnickyShnack · 2005-03-22 9:45 pm

I believe you're referring to the Permian extinction, at which time there weren't any mammals.

Edit: Nor, I think, were there dinosaurs (yet).

Yeah, because it's not exhaust. All my atmospheric science folk up at Northland agree. They're spraying in some areas, and what eventually hits the ground has high content of aluminum. No clue what it is.

Insane, invalidated pictures and information can be gotten from this conspiracy-and-not-to-be-trusted-can-of-worms, but alas, it's hard to get anyone that appears to have their head on straight to admit to what's up out there:

here.

I get tic-tac-toe boards all the time. And some that stretch the horizon for miles like plowing a field. There's no reason to fly over us at low altitude, all we have are small, CLOSED county airports nearby... whole thing is nuts. All I know is that our lung and esophageal cancer in the region has skyrocketed, and it would be asinine to blame it completely on cigarettes, since we've been sucking them down for years and I was reading on average maybe one person a month dying from it a couple of years ago, and now, it's usually everyone but one person per week in the newspaper who's died of lung or esophageal cancer. I don't understand. Especially if a chunk of these people don't smoke.

1994 to 2001 timeline

Nothing more up to this point as seen. There was a decry at NASA and NOAA both (among two other organizations I can't recall), calling anyone who stated that chemtrails even existed at this point was a quack.

You know there is a great little white room with padding all on all four sides... it's great for meditation, and I got a great little jacket you can wear. It's really snug, and it comes with a padlock just so no one else can steal it from you while you wear it... the only issue is that it's a little restrictive, but it's a good nice tight fit.

And they'd be right.

Calling me insane, without trying to offer counter-evidence, or even a counter POV? What are you, a spook? You must be one of them.

Seriously man, you have little room to talk.

It's also possible that he stays indoors all the time or isn't especially observant. Who wouldn't see an entirely new type of cloud and stop to wonder about it? (Plenty of people, as it turns out. Try pointing them out to someone some time; most people say they've never even noticed them before. Too much TV, probably.)

Thanks for the info. I googled up a bunch of pages from last night, but all I find are of the "it's a conspiracy" stripe. If it's nothing sinister I'd like to think it would be easy enough to find a proper explanation, and that no one would waste their time spinning BS out of nothing. (There's nothing about it on snopes.com, either; this must be a really high-level coverup! wink )

Often enough two of these things will meet perpendicularly, in the shape of a perfect letter T, with no overlap of anything. Other times you can see a plane leaving such trails, while there are similar sized jets elsewhere in the sky (seemingly at about the same altitude) leaving no visible exhaust or only the same very short one that dissipates very quickly (ie, the same standard jet exhaust trails I've been seeing for 35+ years).

It's funny how this effect only started happening recently (about 3 years). If they're using a new type of fuel or engine I imagine we'd hear about it either way (the company would trumpet how eco-friendly it now is, or the enviro faction would raise a stink about it).
