cruz questioned merrill about
GOd
merrill lectured about the biblical
flood.
common arguments against the biblical flood include that there is not enough
water on earth. but maybe the marianea trench that is 36 ft deep was actually caused by the flood maybe water pressure weakened the crust
whitney piped in for the kill of the flood argument by asking
what about gilgamesh
merrill felt that the problem with both science and religion is that
they both rely on a few comfortable theories
merrill felt that the big bang was proof of
god’s existence. life emerging at random seems less likely
merrill felt that modern science was becoming the
new church
cruz wanted physical evidence of the flood and merrill added
70 pct of the earth’s surface is covered in sedimentary rock - the resst is volcanic igneous and metamorphic
merrill also added this evidence for the flood
that sedimentary rock is at the top of mt everest either te water was that igh or it formed after the flood covered the ground
wright questioned how could they have brought 2 of every animal and merrill answered
that species descended and that science has no probem with the flood account
who else did merrill say may have survived the flood with noah and his family
the nephilium
when ferrell crashed back into camp she yelled
for them to put out the fire
alaziz went slowly because of the weight
of the explosives tied around him
alaziz longed for the dry desert because
it was too humid there. he didnt think the arabs would even want it but they would want the americans from having it
when alaziz fell down the hill he was most afraid
of failing at the task at hand
after alaziz fell down the hill he spied
the bodies of the european team and a grenade but knew the grenade could not have caused all that damage becuase the trees were still standing
when alaziz came across a cleared path he though that
allah had cleared the path for him and allah had come to earth
what did alaziz take from a european body
a canteen of water
as they patched ferrells wounds she told them about
popova’s death and being chased by a large animal
ferrell evaded the animal by
jumpin a 100ft cliff into water breaking her fingers and losing her pack and her sniper weapons
ferrell said the animal was not
a crlophosaurus it was intelligent and thinking and plotting; merrill was convinces they were chyrlos
whitney stunk more than the other becuase of
her big breasts
what noise always announced a crylosaurus was coming
a sandpaper noise
vesuvius barked, cruz said shut p the crylos were coming… merrill said to take a
defensible position and only get attacked from one side. they cornered into a u shape area
general kuan yin zhou threw
grenades and grabbed a dead man’s weapon he finally realized that his son had been taken from above!
zhou first thought the noise was a large tank group but then realized
it was 4 huge animals whose wounds would fade after they got hurt
zhou tried to use rocket propulsion, one grabbed him and he
flew over the jungle cracking his spine dead before he hit the ground

a perilous voyage across the Atlantic in a small boat
10 crylos lunged forward, whit shot and got knocked off her feet, looking up she saw that
2 more crylos were above her; grabbed 9mm wouldn;t work
the smooth headed man came from above to save whitney and
plunged a knife into the crylos throat everyone was bloodies but survived
the smooth headed mans name was
ian jacobson, the last surviving european
they asked ferrell if these were her attackers and she said no my attackers were
larger
at noon al aziz received a beep to
pray salat
what problem happened at prayer time
his compass couldn;t indicate porper direction to mecca but he knew how to work around it
al aziz always prayed
loudly
internet had taught al aziz that simple outreach was
not enough; hatred filtered into mainstream muslim
when al aziz finished prayer he uttered a loud amen and noticed
odd looking birds with blue red and purple plumage
when he saw the birds al aziz thought
god had answered his prayers he left his machete and weapon; he though perhaps he was the next great prophet; then he saw what was lef tof the european hanging on meat hooks and he vomited
merrill hoped that the crylos brains were not big enough to
hold grudges
what landform did they come to that was strange
neatly laid 5 ft stalks like a crop; ferrell said they would have to go through there was no way around; wright didnt like that it was a man made field how could that be? merrill had the answer - nephilim
merrill started to wonder if the man made wall was to
kepp crylos away
the nephilim are mentioned in
genesis 6:4
in the middle of the field wright said
no more talking til we are across
on the mountain mapp was the symbol of a
human skull. was it a warning?
on the map near the mountain there were
2 large feet that were larger and stronger than elsewhere on the map
the map got caught in the wind, merrill chased it and stumbled across the
chinese dead.
where they saw the dead chinese, jacobson also noted that there was
a crop circle; he felt that the nephilim did this with their demonic powers
after the crop circles, merrill had everyone stay off the clear paths and
go through the stalks, eventually they set up camp with no smoke no light; merill and mira smelled smoke
who stayed back at camp
merrill and vesuvious (old and loud)
what did whitney do when she left camp
tie a banadana on her head to hide blond hair
