Movable type was invented during China's Song Dynasty, nearly 1000 years ago- and 400 years before Johannes Gutenberg's printing press! Hitler's Jewish doctor Eduard Bloch, a Jewish Austrian doctor, was Adolf Hitler's family physician until 1907, and when the Nazis occupied Austria in 1938, he was protected by the Gestapo on Hitler's orders! Phreatichths Andruzzii, a species of blind, cave dwelling fish in Somalia, has been isolated from the sun for more than a million years and lives in sleeps as if it's day was 47 hours long!

The days really have to be short to make a million years out of 6,000 to 10,000 years! That fish is not the only one that’s blind. So are the evolutionists!

47 is awfully close to 48 hours. My guess would be that they were disturbed by the researchers invading their cave and didn’t sleep for a day. Only going to sleep when they were too tired to stay awake anymore. Kinda like pulling an all nighter in college.

Wasn’t Hitler 1/4 Jewish?

Re movable type: The Chinese had many technologies before the Europeans. The difference was that it was used mainly for the wealthy of the day instead of for the masses.

It’s been said that Hitler had Jewish blood in him. One thing’s for sure, he hardly looked like the beautiful blond haired, blue eyed Aryan he claimed to worship!

I’m relieved Hitler was actually civil to one Jewish person. The plight of the Jewish people always dramatised me.

Once a year I shift to a 25 hour day – and six months later I shift to a 23 hour day. But the shift only lasts one day until I’m back on 24 hour days. Does this make any sense?

The evidence is overwhelming if you read the right literature, and cast aside your biases and prejudices and be objective.
