The relationship between the Nazi Party and Christianity during the Third Reich (1933-1945) was complex, marked by both conflict and cooperation. While some members of the Nazi Party were openly hostile to Christianity, others attempted to manipulate and co-opt it to serve their ideological goals. The Christian churches in Germany, both Protestant and Catholic, responded to Nazism in various ways, ranging from active resistance to tacit acceptance. Nazi Ideology and Christianity At its core, Nazism was a totalitarian ideology that sought to control all aspects of German society, including religion. While some Nazi leaders, like Hitler, publicly professed a belief in Christ, their actions and policies often contradicted these claims. Hitler never expressed a belief that Christ died for his sins, a foundation of true christianity rather he viewed Christ as a fellow warrior against the jews.  Nazi ideology was rooted in a racialized worldview that emphasized the superiorit...

Five million mitochondria Genetic 'bar codes' of 100,000 animals and humans from different species were surveyed. Research prompted speculation humans and 9 of 10 animals sprang from single pair. This may have happened after a catastrophic event after the last ice age. Scientists surveyed 5 million genetic 'bar codes' of humans and 100,000 different species and the results have prompted speculation that we sprang from a single pair of adults after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race. Stoeckle and Thaler, the scientists who headed the study, concluded that ninety percent of all animal species alive today come from parents that all began giving birth at roughly the same time, less than 250 thousand years ago - throwing...

15 factors that make life on Earth possible

"The evolutionary path that led to life included element formation in the Big Bang and in stars, explosions of stars formation of interstellar clouds formation of the solar system assembly of Earth, and the complex evolution of the planet's interior, surface, oceans, and atmosphere. If some GOD-LIKE being could be given the opportunity to plan a sequence of events with the express goal of duplicating our "Garden of Eden," that power would face a formidable task. With the best intentions, but limited by natural laws and materials, it is unlikely that Earth could ever be truly replicated. Too many processes in its formation involved sheer luck." Peter Ward, The rare earth hypothesis. 15 factors that make life on Earth possible: The Goldilocks Zone: Earth's position within the solar system, aptly referred to as the "Goldilocks zone," is neither too hot nor too cold, allowing liquid water to exist on its surface. Liquid water is essential ...
