From the big bang, to the dawn of man, wars, culture, extinction, and through until the universe’s eventual death. Music by Barenaked Ladies, The big bang theory is appreciated and respected in scientific circles. And this video was a requested by a friend, please feel free to discuss your various views about creation and evolution, but don’t be crude, threatening, or stupid. This isn’t a debate forum. PLEASE ENJOY!! Lyrics: Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait… The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries, That all started with the big bang! “Since the dawn of man” is really not that long, As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song. A fraction of a second and the elements were made. The bipeds stood up straight, The dinosaurs all met their fate, They tried to leap but they were late And they all died (they froze their asses off) The oceans and pangea See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya Set in motion by the same big bang! It all started with the big BANG! It’s expanding ever outward but one day It will cause the stars to go the other way, Collapsing ever inward, we won’t be here, it wont be heard Our best and brightest figure that it’ll make an even bigger bang! Australopithecus would really have been sick of us Debating out while here they’re

We’re told Barack Obama’s history and character are somehow off-limits. But personal history makes character, and the character of the President of the United States is something we have a right to be interested in. In Part 1 of this meticulously researched and and sourced series, Bill examines both the Dunhams and the Obamas — each steeped in Marxism and anti-Americansm and each a long, long way away from mainstream American culture.

***Native Americans*** Peoples who occupied North America before the arrival of the Europeans in the 15th cent. They have long been known as Indians because of the belief prevalent at the time of Columbus that the Americas were the outer reaches of the Indies (ie, the East Indies). Most scholars agree that Native Americans came into the Western Hemisphere from Asia via the Bering Strait in a series of migrations. From Alaska they spread east and south. The several waves of migration are said to account for the many native linguistic families while the common origin is used to explain the physical characteristics that Native Americans have in common (though with considerable variation)Mongoloid features, coarse, straight black hair, dark eyes, sparse body hair, and a skin color ranging from yellow-brown to reddish brown. Many scholars accept evidence of Native American existence in the Americas back more than 25000 years. In pre-Columbian times (prior to 1492) the Native American population of the area N of Mexico is estimated to have been between one and two million. From prehistoric times until recent historic times there were roughly six major cultural areas, excluding that of the Arctic, ie, Northwest Coast, Plains, Plateau, Eastern Woodlands, Northern, and Southwest.
