Human Race Genetically Designed to Live then Die?
On July 8th, 2009, Physicist Brian Skinner wrote a blog titled, “Your body wasn’t built to last: a lesson from human mortality rates.” Brian’s blog was re-energized by Robert Krulwich recently who wrote an article titled, “ Am I Going To Die This Year? A Mathematical Puzzle”.
Brian, age 25 back in 2009 was pondering, “What are the odds I will die in the next year? He started poking around doing a little research here and there, and learned something very interesting yet startling. When you’re young and past those risky years of early childhood, like jumping off concrete steps while skateboarding, or holding your breath trying to make yourself pass out, it seems an estimated 1 in 3000 25-year-olds will die. Then his research showed eight years after your mid twenties, the odds will roughly double to about 1 in 1,500 that you’ll die, and double again eight years after that to 1 in 750! What?
Brian was researching human mortality information which included papers from Benjamin Gompertz a British actuary who noticed a human mortality pattern back in 1825. His pattern named, “Gompertz law of human mortality”, states that the death rate is the sum of an age-independent component and an age-dependent component which increases exponentially with age.
Well we kinda figured the older you get the chances of dying increase, that’s become common sense, but our chances increase dramatically every eight years? What the @#$%&!
Brian stated, ‘This is an amazing fact, but no one really can understand why?”
Our body’s immune system deteriorates at a steady pace as we get older. Over a period of time we have less and less opportunities to fight infections. These opportunities decrease significantly over eight year patterns and modern biology and mathematics is having problems trying to explain why? There’s no obvious logic or explanation why there’s roughly an eight year pattern.
It appears our bodies have been pre-programmed to deteriorate during very controlled life cycles and science has known about this for some time now. Sounds like a low budget science fiction movie, but it’s real. So what is one obvious explanation?
Intelligent design?
Did Mother Nature put in a “kill switch” so we would practice “conservation” not “preservation?” Preservation is the term used to protect a species from being depleted by protecting each and every one; Conservation is the term used to thin-the-herd so the species won’t be responsible for their own deaths due to exhausting all its resources. Over farming the land depleting its nutrients from the soil so nothing will grow, or over hunting a particular species to complete extinction like our ancestors did with the Mammoths, this is a great example of exhausting ones resources; AND WE’RE STILL DOING THIS!
Is this a product of Mother Nature setting the ground rules so everyone can survive? or… Could someone else be responsible for this?
Could homosapiens be a product of gene splicing between an alien race and a hominid race which lived on this planet thousands of years ago? Were early humans sole purpose to serve a higher race then later given their freedom? Well the ancient Sumerians thought so says ancient cryptologist, Zecharia Sitchin in the many books he wrote before his death in 2010.
[www.sitchin.com]: One of the few scholars able to read and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) based his bestselling The 12th Planet on texts from the ancient civilizations of the Near East. Drawing both widespread interest and criticism, his controversial theories on the Anunnaki origins of humanity have been translated into more than 20 languages and featured on radio and television programs around the world.
(In a UFO-nut shell.) Zecharia Sitchin’s books said deciphered ancient Sumerian clay tablets talked about a race of extraterrestrials known as the Anunnaki from the planet Nibiru, who visited Earth to gather minerals they needed to repair the atmosphere on their own planet. They genetically created humans using part of their DNA with the hominids which were already here playing the Flintstones gig. The newly created more intelligent race of hominids were then put to work excavating the minerals they so preciously needed. Over a few hundred years, some of the Anunnaki travelers began relationships with the humans and started raising families of their own. When the heads of the Anunnaki exploratory team decided it was time to go home, the decision was made to eliminate the new race they had genetically designed thus putting things back the way they found it. You know, the Prime Directive.
Well the Anunnaki beings who became attached to their new friends disagreed. There was an up-roar and great battles were fought. The Vedic literature of India describes flying machines called “vimanas” which were seen fighting each other in the sky using weapons far more advanced than the ones we have today. Was this referencing an Anunnaki battle? In Egypt great glass sheets were discovered in 1932 near the Great Sand Sea near the Saad Plateau. In an area where no volcanic evidence is found, could the glass sheets be a product of ancient weaponry impacting the ground and melting the sand into glass due to high heat?
Based on the Sitchin books, good Anunnaki triumphed over Prime Directive Anunnaki and the new species of humans were allowed to live. The majority of the Anunnaki team left our planet but several stayed behind helping the new race develop our world. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics show taller than average humans with elongated heads, and some scholars say these represent the Anunnaki’s who stayed behind.
So what is the reason for our eight year cycle of cellular depletion causing death and old age? A higher and ultimate being? Evolution? Or an Alien race? Either way for some unknown reason, it seems the magic number is eight, which means you don’t want to get “Behind the Eight Ball”.
Other interesting factoids about the number 8:
– Humans normally have 46 chromosomes in each cell, divided into 23 pairs. Two copies of chromosome 8, one copy inherited from each parent, form one of the pairs. Chromosome 8 spans more than 146 million DNA building blocks (base pairs) and represents between 4.5 and 5 percent of the total DNA in cells.
– Oxygen the giver of life symbol O, is the element that is atomic number 8 on the periodic table. Atomic number 8 refers to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
– Octet Rule, The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.
– 8 systems of the human body. (circulatory, digestive, endocrine, immune, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive)
– Genesis: Earth created in 6 days, 7th day of rest, the 8th day is a brand new beginning.
– 8 days of Hanukkah.
– In Islam, 8 is the number of Angels carrying The Holy Throne of Allah in the heavens.
– Chinese, the Eight Immortals: A group of legendary immortals in Chinese mythology. Each Immortal’s power can be transferred to a power tool that can bestow life or destroy evil.
– G8: The Group of eight of the world’s largest national economies with higher Human Developed Index.
– Diatonic Scale has 7 notes but the 8th is the first note on the next higher level. (do,re,mi,fa,so,la,ti,do)
– 8 bits equal a byte. (computers)
– 8 hour work day for best productivity.
– 8 hours of sleep for best rest.
– 8 track tapes for less than best sound.
– Arachnids have eight legs.
– 8 planets not 9, someone had missed the email about the number 8, so the number of planets were changed.
– US 8th Amendment: The cruel and unusual punishment clause restricting severity of punishment, especially for the person who said there were 9 planets in our solar system, not 8.
