AMBER: 50% MORE OXYGEN

  • Study: Amber with Insect Analysis of the air sac showed it was 50% more oxygenated than today

[cf. Glenco Biol Amber p. 333 i.e. SFEs 1990 p. 148) an insect which was trapped in an "amber" (Narrow for: amber = petrified tree sap) with an air sac. Analysis of the air sac showed it was 50% more oxygenated than today. (see report: Time Magazine, Nov 9, 1987, p. 82). (Today: 21% oxygen - formerly 32% - oxygen

WORLD WITH TWICE THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE + 50% MORE OXYGEN CONTENT:

  • human hemoglobin takes up more oxygen 🡪 blood plasma would be oxygen-saturated.
  • humans could walk hundreds of km/miles without getting tired.
  • w. increased oxygen, humans and their wounds would heal much faster. (healing time ~ twice as fast)

TEXAS INCIDENT IN 1987

  • Texas 1987 Incident: Baby Jessica McClure was trapped in an 8 inch steel pipe for 58 1/2 hours.

  • “After her rescue, some parts of her body, such as hands, elbows, arms, legs, were black due to lack of blood/oxygen circulation. Her right leg was totally black because it was twisted and pressed against her face from back to front. One of the doctors thought that the leg needed to be amputated immediately. However, another doctor suggested the idea of putting her in one hyperbaric oxygen chamber. They put her in at double the pressure and full oxygen saturation and in just a few hours, her foot was pink again. They were able to successfully restore circulation.”

WORLD BEFORE THE FLOOD

  • people were constantly full of energy.
  • due to the blocked harmful rays of the sun, human skin would not age as quickly.
  • people would get much taller and older. not only ~ 900 years (like Adam,… but also bigger: ~ 4 & 5 m high. Possibly Even bigger
  • explains the great trees - fruit trees in Eden.
  • Goliath was 3,81m tall.
  • Earth rotation was slower – after Flood faster!
  • constant movement + the healthy diet + only ate fruit and vegetables and also with the slow rotating earth, slower than today, 🡺 people like Adam could live a longer Life.

  • 40m high
  • very fast (every 6h 25 min change of tides)
  • mix: human, animal, stones, sand, mud, etc.
