Important New Article on the Septuagint

Testimonial Regarding Recent Fern and Audrey Work
I'm writing this as vaguely as possible due to privacy interests. The following testimonial comes from someone in the ministry I met during one of my Unseen Realm events. This pastor and his wife needed Fern and Audrey's help as they are working through survivor /...
Gender Insanity and a Witless Rabbi

Earth to Lynn Marzulli
Lynn Marzulli (L. A. Marzulli, but I knew him years ago as Lynn) just posted something accusing me of making "tired and pompous" and "false" claims about his fairy research in a "hit piece" here. What a bore. Whip out the persecution complex instead of making the...

George Adamski Hoax Still Going Strong

FREE ET

Elongated Skulls and Christian Ethics
Those of you with an interest in the elongated skull paleobabble (that they have something to do with aliens or nephilim) will find this short essay of interest. It's from the Hot Cup of Joe blog. It's basically an overview of the methodological problems of the...

List of Open Access (Mostly Free) Journals in Ancient Studies
The listing located here includes over 1,600 open access scholarly journals in all areas of ancient studies. The listed was created by Charles Jones of the Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog. I'm quite sure there's something in there to help combat paleobabble.
Nick Redfern: UFOs Most Likely Not Extraterrestrial
Anyone interested in UFOs knows the name Nick Redfern. Whatever your assessment of Nick's work, he can't be labeled a hostile debunker. He's someone that "wants to believe." In this recent essay, Nick expresses his transition away from an extraterrestrial explanation...

Those Alleged Human Footprints Mixed with Dinosaur Tracks in Paluxy, TX
