THE MOST IMPORTANT
QUESTION
“Science can solve all human problems, inclu-

ding the problem of death.” This was a belief
held by most of the Western world at the end
of the 19th century. The shocking experience
that the famous scientist Thomas Edison had
gives us a good example of the impact science
had on society at that time.
Thomas Edison was the man, who invented
the electric light bulb. What most of us are not
aware of is the fact that when Edison submit-
ted his invention to the Patent Office, it was
rejected. He was told, “We’re sorry, sir, we can-
not accept your discovery. Science has already
proven everything that it is possible to disco-
ver. There is not anything else to be discove-
red.”
People had strongly believed in science, but the
situation started to change soon after this.
They firmly believed that science was able to
answer all their questions. Today, most of us
are disappointed in science. It has not provided

in facts that could stop the aging process. It is
obvious that science has its own agenda, when
it comes to lengthening life.
This brings to mind the following questions:
- What is the process, which caused aging to
appear in a human being?
- Will scientists soon be able to eliminate it?
- Why are we thinking about terms such as
“eternity” or “immortality”?
All these and similar questions can be summa-
rized into one question. Can we solve the mys-
tery of death?

Traces In a Rock
TRACES IN A ROCK
People, especially children, are fascinated by

dinosaurs. Many scientists believe that
dinosaurs lived eons ago and that they disap-
peared from our earth about sixty-five million
years ago. These same scientists believe that
the first humans appeared about one million
years ago. Following this train of thought, it
means that people and dinosaurs could not
have existed on the earth at the same time.
In the middle of the 20th century, American
scientists working in the Paluxy River Bed in
Texas, discovered the footprints of dinosaurs.
Scientists theorized that they were made 100
million years ago.
They were shocked when they made a further
discovery of not only the dinosaur prints, but
along with them in the same mud were human
footprints (figure 2.1).1 Does this prove that
dinosaurs and people lived as the same time on Figure 2.1. In the same rock layer we can see traces of
human and dinosaur prints.

the further surprise. Namely, the average per-

ple and dinosaurs lived at the same time in the

not so distant past.
These men believed that the history of Moses
was compatible with science. It is interesting to
note that Moses answers a great many ques-
tions in his books. However, for now we will
stay with dinosaurs and people.
In 1945 scientist discovered a very interesting
archaeological site near Acambaro in Mexico.
People who lived there from 800 BCE to 200
CE left many artifacts. Among them were
more than 30,000 figurines made of clay.
Thousands of the figurines represented dino-
saurs (figure 2.2).4
We ask ourselves, “How were these people able
to make figurines of dinosaurs?” The only Figure 2.2. Clay

We can find similar artifacts throughout the
world.6 It would appear that people lived at the
same time with dinosaurs and were able to
domesticate them.
There are additional reasons to believe that
dinosaurs lived in a relatively recent time peri-
od and not a million years ago; the discovery of
a dinosaur’s eggs, which contained the DNA
molecule. This genetic material reveals that the
eggs are not 70 million years old, (figure 2.7) Figure 2.6. Stone plates with pictures of people and

Discovery of these dinosaur’s eggs with the

DNA molecule validates Moses’ historical view
that dinosaurs were created and lived at the
same time as our ancestors. He also left us the
information that these people were taller, lar-
ger and lived longer that modern man.8
We cannot rely simply on the fact that they had
large feet as proof they were large. Many fossil
skulls have been found at different localities in
Peru and Mexico. The cranial capacity of these
skulls is double that of the size of the current
human race (figure 2.8).9
Their cranial capacity ranged from 2,600 to
3,200 cubic centimeters, while our skulls aver-
age 1,450 cubic centimeters.
The exceptional length of these skulls tells us a
great deal about their habits. Some native
tribes, believing that they could improve their
children’s intellect reshaped their heads by
binding them to a wooden frame, when they
were babies. This practice caused the skulls to
become misshapen.
Large people and dinosaurs are nothing new to
scientists. They have found the skulls of other
organisms, which were also extremely large.10

Pigs were the size of our modern cattle and

deer antlers measured over 12 feet in width
(figure 2.9).
Ferns were as large as trees and trees were over

Scientists have found the fossil of a penguin

In 1991 the bones of a crocodile that was 8
feet tall, 40 feet long and weighed 12 tons was
found in the Amazon River (figure 2.15). Figure 2.12. Print of a claw and the reconstruction of an

22 23
This raises the question, why were human

beings and animals in the past so much larger
than the modern species?
Another discovery could give us the answer to
this question. Imbedded in the same layers of
rocks as the dinosaur remains was a hammer
(figure 2.16).11

best proof that living conditions on this Earth
were considerably different in the past.
These things are not the only differences
between our earth and that of ancient man.
There have been discoveries that reveal how
different the atmospheric conditions were.
These findings are based on the discovery of
the fossils of tropical clams in the polar
regions (figure 2.17), which means that it was
once a tropical climate. Furthermore, close to
the North Pole, where we find the permafrost,
scientists discovered the fossils of snakes,
crocodiles and other organisms, that are only
able to survive in warm climates.12 A conside-
rable amount of coal was also found in this
area. Coal can only be produced in an area Figure 2.16. Ancient hammer scanned to be seen.

where there had been lush vegetation. So there

can be little doubt that this was a tropical
region.
Many of today’s scientists are surprised by
these discoveries. The founders of the modern
science would have easily accepted these fin-
dings. They had accepted Moses’ writings on
the climatic conditions of this planet as being Figure 2.17. Fossil of

polar region.
It is interesting to note that of the fossils of
plants and animal that were found, only 1% of
those organisms are present on the earth
today.13
At the onset of this book, we stated that the
process of aging starts at one point of our life
and we can influence it.
On the other hand, there is historical record
that confirms all that we have affirmed. In this
report we can find the answer to the questions
we are looking for. Modern science is also try-
ing to explain these answers.
The mystery of the pyramids, for example!

the following notes:

The Science and the Problem of Death The Secret of the Pyramids
Imhotep was the one who began the building

of the pyramids, and the first pyramid he built
was the Step Pyramid in Sakkara.
This pyramid is very different from the other
pyramids. There is a large wall surrounding it
and there is only one narrow entrance into the
complex of the pyramid (figure 3.2).
One would have to question why such protec-
tion was necessary for pyramid. Could it be
that something very precious was being kept in

covered eleven huge grain shafts. The findings
of the remains of grain on the bottom of the
shafts led to the supposition that they were
used for grain storage.
The shafts were capable of holding 52,000
cubic yards of grain, which was far more than
the inhabitants who lived in the area would
need. The shafts were interconnected at the
bottom. People had to reach the bottom by
way of a staircase, where they could get grain
from special taps. (figure 3.3) 3

discoveries of the 20th century.
Most of us are familiar with Vitamin C. The

plants produce it and people are able now to
make it in a form of tablets.
If we put a tablet of Vitamin C into a glass of
water, as it starts to dissolve it begins produc-
ing bubbles in the water. Within a minute the
tablet has completely dissolved and the bub-
bles are gone.
What would happen if we put a tablet of
Vitamin C in a glass of water and immediately
put it into the freezer? Allowing 15 minutes for
the water to freeze, would we find bubbles
from the disintegrated tablet?
Of course not, the tablet disintegrates much
more rapidly than the water freezes. But sup-
pose that you saw a glass of frozen water with
bubbles from a Vitamin C tablet, what conclu-
sion would you have to come to? The only rea-
sonable conclusion would be that that particu-

creation of Vitamin C belongs to this process
as well. On the other hand, there is a disinte-
gration process of some chemical elements
that are present in rocks. One can compare it
to the way in which “bubbles” have been
formed in rocks.
For example, there are millions of unstable
uranium atoms in rocks. These atoms have
been found in a microscopically small place,
where they were disintegrating. As this process

were unable to leave bubbles in liquid water,
only in frozen water.
This example of bubbles helps us to under-
stand the creation of our planet Earth.
The majority of the planet is composed of
granite (figure 4.3). Science has long puzzled
over how this rock was formed. It has not been
possible to observe its creation in nature nor to
replicate it artificially in the laboratory.
Figure 4.3. Transverse section of the earth’s surface.
Therefore, many scientists believe that granite
is the result of red-hot lava that has cooled for
millions of years. Many people visualize the
creation of earth this same way.
However, a world famous authority on the
subject offers another explanation regarding
the creation of the earth.1
In granite found throughout the world, we
have ascertained that the disintegration bub-
bles are from one unusual chemical element.

Can these stories be proven scientifically?
Several years ago scientist discovered an

ancient column made of granite at the Red Sea
Coast. The column was 15 feet high and
weighed 11.5 tons (figure 5.1).1 The coast of
the Red Sea, where this column was found, is
on the Egyptian peninsula of Nuweiba at the
Gulf of Aqaba (figure 5.2).

The Science and the Problem of Death The Mountain With a Black Top
Relatively close to the broken rock, scientists

found the remains of an ancient altar. Moses
had written that the people of Israel had built
an altar of thanksgiving for the victory they
had had over a warring nation (figure 6.3).6
Moses writes of a special mountain, where he
was given the Ten Commandments.7 The
Arabic shepherds call it “Moses Mountain”
(“Jabal Musa” in Arabic). Today it is called
Jabal Al Lawz. This area has been searched a
great deal (figure 6.4).
At the base of this mountain scientists discov-

Moses writes that he personally ground up the

golden calf and threw it into the stream that
flowed out of the mountain.13 At the foot of
the mountain, we can see the remains of a
dried river bed (figure 6.11).

mountain “in fire and thunder.”14 When scien-

tists examined the rocks of this mountain, they

noticed that although the top of the mountain
was completely black the rest of the mountain
was brightly colored. After they analyzed the
material, they concluded that the top of the
mountain was composed of the black mineral
obsidian, which is formed at very high tempe-
ratures (figure 6.12).15
Is the presence of this mineral at the top of
the mountain the result of the fire and thunder
described by Moses? Figure 6.12. Top of the mountain and mineral obsidian.
It seems unbelievable, but scientific discoveries

seem to validate Moses’ writings and the
events, which occurred after crossing of the
Red Sea.
There are still those who think that it’s neces-

We are referring the magnificent Grand

289 miles long, 18 miles wide and over a mile

They further state that this huge sedimentary
rock slowly started to rise. Seventy million
years ago it lifted itself to the surface of the
earth, and it was at this time that the Colorado
River went through the area. As the ocean bot-
tom continued lifting and forming the moun-
tain, the river slowly cut into this newly formed
mountain and formed the Grand Canyon.
Is this explanation about the creation of the
Grand Canyon in accordance with scientific
facts? Are other canyons being created at the
present time? Is it possible to observe them?
The Palouse Canyon located in the United
States is one canyon that all scientists are in
agreement over as to its formation. Violent
water motions from the Lake Missoula spillway
brought huge amounts of sediment to this area
