Origins

Creation by Theory


Today's scientists, archaeologists and such are having quite a time keeping the First Native people in the 10,000 ice age era.

They are bound and determined that the redskinned people of the Americas came over the ice 10,000 years ago and nothing will deter them from this notion.
Even if they find artifacts dating 13,000 16,000 20,000 or even 42,000 they wrongly date them so they are still l0,000 years old. So nothing takes away from their ice age theory.


Why! must redskinned people come from somewhere else?

First of all, let's take a look at these redskinned people we found in the Americas. They were not white, black, yellow, brown skinned like the old world but they came in all shades from brite copper penny to dark bronze and every shade between.
That's why they were called "redskins" and as far as I know these were the only redskinned people in the world, having found none in Russia or Asia today and since Indians do not like to leave their homeland, there should have been large populations of redskinned people like in the Americas, who didn't leave their homeland in the old country and many would not have left.
Scientists think all redskinned people had flat, round faces with slanted Asian eyes and if they didn't, they're not Indians. Not taking into consideration that Indians came in all different face and eye shapes, manner and form. That the small Amazon doesn't look like the 6 ft. 4 inch Cayuse, who were big men or the 7 foot found in Eastern mounds. That redskinned faces came in oval, long, round, square, large, small and in between. That scientists think all Indians should look Asian even though English paintings of Pocahontas does not show her like Chinese or the Kennewick man looked European. They looked Indian.

If they had come from the Old World they would have had Old World diseases or had brought Old World diseases with them in their crossings. The reason we were able to kill them off, is because they were not immune from Old World diseases.

The scientists have a phrase "We've got to rethink this, we don't have all the answers" but they think they do and are reluctant to change and no matter what theory, they still think their same ideas. Another little saying is"We're all immigrants in America", as if that was something special to an Indian, as it is to others.

I would like to hear them say "We made a mistake and the redskinned people have been here longer then we think and did not come from Russia, Siberia, Asia as we say they did. Unless they know absolutely, positively, without any doubt, they did.

The Indians see their own creation differently then we. They believe they were created here by the Great Creator and have always lived here in the Americas, and that thinking has never changed.
These people inhabited the largest land mass of the world, from the North Pole to the South Pole. They had ancient civilizations and their knowledge of their own land far outstretched our knowledge of ours and they did not abuse their land. They were a different unique civilization of their very own, including their language. Their language does not sound like Russian or Chinese or Japanese. They thought, acted, lived and believed differently then other races.

Neither were they heathens. They were far more religious then we. They believed as strongly or even stronger in their faith and their god then we believed in ours. They lived every day in their beliefs and no one should fault them for that. Just because they didn't believe in Jesus, who hadn't been born yet, or had never heard of him, didn't mean they were going to hell, as they were told by the Christians who flooded their country and had a different religion.

Before the ice melted, there was more land and what now is covered in water was once land. The earth and water has changed much in thousands of years and so did the coastline of Africa and South America and they probably did not fit together like a "puzzle". Oceans have risen and fallen, land has grown and diminished in the time course of this earth.

So, let's take a good look at what "coming over the ice" really means.

According to scientists theory the earth was covered 1 to 2 miles deep in thick ice, extending down to China, Arizona, Germany, called the ice age 10,000 years ago and the Indians walked thousands of miles over this frozen ice to get into America.

First of all, the redskinned Indians were not so dumb or ways of earth stupid that they would have started walking far into the unknown of thousands of miles of white bone chilling ice, especially without setting up a return main camp. If food was not found they did not venture forth into the unknown or they died. No Indian would have walked into the frozen unknown without finding food first.
Perhaps the temperature went from l00 to 300 degrees below zero, as no one knows how cold the ice age really was in such a large amount of land covered with solid freezing cold. They probably would have frozen solid themselves, especially their lungs.
In a vast white glare of snow and ice they would have been snowblinded or disoriented, with no sign posts to follow. Not to mention, with no fuel to burn, no plants or animal food, no fur clothing. Or, how about fissures, crevasses, freezing ice storms that could cut you to pieces and with no helicopter to rescue, like today. It would have been unbearable to walk thousands of miles in such conditions and they probably would not have been able to do it.
Another theory they have come up with is, the ice parted and they walked down a green corridor into America as if they really know that for sure. How about the wild animals, did they also walk down the green corridor?

Today, we are shown pictures of nicely dressed Eskimos trudging across the white snow into America. They don't show them dirty, starved, long matted hair, clothing torn to shreds, as you would think they should look after walking thousands of ice bound miles, that probably were lifeless.

As far as creation is concerned, it is my own personal opinion that we were all created each to their own place and in their own time. A very good question would be "where did we all come from in the very beginning? Where did the white man come from, the black man, the yellow man, the brown man, where did they all come from? No one knows! So, how could anyone know where anyone came from so far back in the beginning? No one probably ever will. We probably never will know when, where or how and in the end does it really matter?
The Indians have a saying, "The Ancients were here then, we are here now."

So, just saying "they came over the ice." doesn't necessarily make it so. Or making it up, doesn't make it true either.
Theories are theories and theories are just that, theories and they often change, but where is the truth. The truth is, they didn't come over the ice.

Now, it will be interesting what they do with the 50,000 year old findings on the Savannah River in South Carolina.

I'm sure they'll think of something.

Taken from   "An Indian Chief"    Washington Historical Society Quarterly Vol 19.    Excerpts taken from Chief Meninock 1915 trial testimony -

Spoken by Indian Meninock

God created this Indian Country and it was like He spread out a big blanket and put the Indians on it.
They were created here in this country, truly and honestly, and that was the time this river started to run.
Then God created fish in this river and put deer in these mountains.
Then the Creator gave us Indians life; we awakened and as soon as we saw the game and fish we knew that they were made for us.
God made roots and berries to gather and the Indians grew and multiplied as a people.
When we were created we were given our ground to live on and from that time these were our Rights.
       This is all true!

I cannot change these thoughts.

We had the fish before the whiteman came. This was the food on which we lived.
My strength is from the fish, my blood is from the fish, from the roots and the berries. The fish and the game are the essence of my Life.
We had no cattle, no hogs, no grain, only berries and roots and game and fish. We never thought we would be troubled about these things.
I was not brought from a foreign country and did not come here.
We were put here by the Creator.
      This is all so!      This is all so!
