Subject: CATASTROPHIC EVIDENCE . . . Man as Old as Coal
Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2003 01:49:39 GMT


As of today -- at long last -- truth no longer will play second fiddle to the fiction, fantasy and fairy tales that have been dished out for more than a century about man's origin and ancestry.

It marks the official end of the deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy that has long been perpetrated by arrogant, egotistical members of the Scientific Establshment in and out of its hallowed Halls of Learning.

Their monumental hoax on mankind has met its match with the presentation of undeniable physical evidence that, multi-millions of years ago, the good earth wasn't anything like what has long been depicted by the scientific community.

For one thing, man -- in almost our present form -- existed while coal was being formed, and our ancestors lived alongside giant scorpions, dinosaurs and beasts with six-inch-high canine teeth.

And man and animals had one thing in common. Both were annihilated in some incredible catastrophe that blew them limb from limb and scattered their bones, teeth and soft organs in all directions..

What happened next is a testament to the late, great Immanuel Velikovsky who, more than a half-century ago, said the true story of earth's -- and man's -- past is written in the rocks, visible for all to see as part of the fossil record.

Eons ago -- before coal hardened -- some sort of fluid engulfed the bones, teeth and soft organs just after the great catastrophe, causing them to petrifiy and now offer a mindboggling horror story of mankind's distant past.

That man existed during the Carboniferous Period also offers proof that we could not possibly have evolved as suggested by the Darwin Theory.

Rightly so, because the theory of the evolution of man never possessed a shred of physical evidence in the first place.
Man could not -- and did not -- become such a magnificent machine by a series of incredible accidents of nature since it's an astronomical mathematical absurdity.

Even Charles Darwin had a sneaky suspicion his theory was full of hot air.

But, since we were spoon-fed such pablum -- the evolution of man --
by members of the omniscient Scientific Establishment, most of us ate up every word. These pompous asses were neither to be questioned nor challenged.

About a year after finding my first specimen of petrified bone between coal veins in June 1981, I couldn't believe the incedible resistence I was encountering in my pursuit of honest investigation.

My longtime friend, Clayton Lennon (1900-1996), warned me it wouldn't be easy and one day, between puffs of his cigar, summed up my despair quite eloquently .

Meanwhile, as their noses continued to grow, so also did the arrogance of members of the Scientific Establishment who had long lost the goal of a search for truth. The only important thing to them, I soon learned, was to make no waves and concentrate on protecting their vested interests.

Over time, they had become incredibly ruthless and bold, really believing that -- as members of omnipotent Acadamia -- they could do anything they damn well pleased and answer to no one..

Since I have had a ringside seat over these past 22 years, I assure you that it has included not only denial of physical evidence that could -- would -- destroy the theory of the evolution of man but actually tampering with that evidence -- and I have come right out and named names.

Then, with brass testacles, the criminals were actually belitting the victim, with character assassination leveled like a Gatling gun.

And even worse, the assault on truth was adamantly defended by their colleagues.
Fortunately, for your grandchildren and mine, that day is over.
The pseudoscientists' day of reckoning has finally arrived.

But it comes as no surprise. After all, they had been forewarned:

TRUTH FINALLY CATCHES UP TO THE PERPETRATORS OF DECEIT, DECEPTION, COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY ===================================================
>> MAN AS OLD AS COAL >> All Specimens Found Between Anthracite Veins (Strata geologically dated at a minimum of 280 million years)

Here are just a few of the thousands upon thousands of specimens of petrified bones, teeth and/or even soft organs -- some human --
that I have discovered between two separate anthracite veins in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past 22 years.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z8femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z5gall.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/newtibia.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/skullb.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z9lung.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/brain/MVC-001S.JPG >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/1tooth.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/z3dino.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/MVC-013F.JPG >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/pp/MVC-022S.JPG
Strange, according to scientific doctrine, they couldn't possibly have been found in Carboniferous strata, dated at a minimum of 280 million years.

You see, every scientific tex book insists that no large land animals, let alone man, existed back then. Hell, man wouldn't begin evolving until multi-millions of years later, the pseudos proclaimed.

But the incredible arsenal of petrified bones, teeth and even soft organs proves -- beyond doubt -- that man and large land animals indeed had been around when coal was being formed. Otherwise,
their mortal remains could not have been preserved between layers of anthracite as the result of a catastrophe beyond our wildest imagination.

And, since this is the grim evidence that a catastrophe happened before, there is NO question that it could happen again.

Velikovsky provided evidence of catastrophes in his two books,
"Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval," published back in the early 1950s. In them, he offered undeniable evidence of calamities beyond human comprehension but was ridiculed and badmouthed by members of the Scientific Establishment.

Here's a copy of these two books, in paperback, and an explanation why Velikovsky was treated with scorn and contempt, which is how members of the Scientific Establishment have treated me for the last 21 1/2 years.

>> ====================================================

>> ====================================================

A longtime newspaperman, I figured -- when realizing I was getting the shaft from the Scientific Establishment -- I'd get a fair shake from newspapers in an effort to tell my story.

I thought the editors would be genuinely interested in what might've sounded like a farfetched story, except that it was backed up by petrified bones, teeth and soft organs as old as coal.

Reporters from the Allentown (Pa.) Call-Chronicle and Las Vegas Sun, to mention just two, were greatly impressed. But when their stories appeared in print, it took my breath away. The articles were completely negative, making me look like that proverbial horse's ass.

Naturally, there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to give up on newspapers completely. I had long known the New York Times,
Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer wouldn't touch it because they had several opportunities to do so but bowed to their vested interests and ignored me.

Ditto for the TV network news shows like "60 Minutes."

For the longest time, it appeared the world would never know the truth about the catastrophe that decimated both man and animal while coal was being formed.

Then a miracle happened -- along came the Internet. It gave me a way to reach the pubic but, of course, the public wasn't paying attention because members of the Scientific Establishment kept making me look like a fool and an imbecile.
And, if you recall, they had been doing a mighty fine job of it right up until yesterday. That's when members of the Scientific Establishment got the second biggest shock of their lives, dwarfed only by the attack on the Twin Towers.

Suddenly overnight, with the presentation of an arsenal of physical evidence, the ridicule and character assassination have eased somewhat.
Suddenly, their cannons ran out of ammunition, accusations that I'm a liar and a fraud.

Suddenly, these Clown Princes of Sciences -- long having made a joke at the expense of sacred Science -- finally realized that their involvement in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy has caught up with them.

These Omniscient Buffoons have defended their colleagues who, with incredible audacity, have made a mockery of physical evidence, totally ignoring it and sometimes even tampering with it.

Thomas Alva Edison probably put in a nutshell what they were doing for so long, and my dear friend Clayton was right on target,
too.

>========= SOME OF THE SPECIMENS =========
===========================================
The following is the very first discovery of petrified bone in coal-bearing Carboniferous strata in June 1981.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/first.jpg
The specimen, which I found by accident, resembled a giant skull and the Smithsonian expressed an interest after receiving a photo, inviting me to bring it down to Washington so it could be examined firsthand.

Three of its "experts" -- an anthropologist, a paleontologist and a geologist -- looked it over carefully but, after a few minutes,
concurred that it was nothing more than a rock or concretion,
certainly nothng that had ever lived.

No one mentioned that a microscopic study of the specimen's cellular structure would accurately identify whether it is or is not bone. (I had no knowledge of this fact at the time and wouldn't be aware of it until many months later)

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/brain/textbook.gif >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/thefactthat.gif
In any event, while preparing to leave the Smithsonian, I politely asked if they would want to keep the specimen, perhaps to break apart the jaw-like area to see if teeth could be found inside. The three "experts" -- Joseph Brown and Robert McCurdy, the only two names I remember -- laughed at me and said it would be an absolute waste of their time.

About a month later -- rather discouraged -- I decided to search the interior of the jaw-like area on my own. It began with a nail to penetrate the rock hardness, then using all sorts of small tools to reach inside and, strangely, begin pulling out what resembled brownish dirt.

I was mysified that some sort of cavity existed and contacted the Smithsonian about this -- but was ignored.

After several weeks of part-time labor, I found a pair of peculiar objects inside. Photos were taken, greatly enlarged and sent to Krogman, the bone expert.

Our friendship had begun months previous when I had driven to Lancaster to show him the first strange secimen I had found that had come from between coal veins -- the large skull that the Smithsonian later dismissed as a rock.
Krogman studied the photo of the inclusion and then told me over the phone that the object is definitely a premolar tooth because "I can see a pair of cusps."

Here's the photo that Krogman had examined, with the dime offering an indication of size.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-014S.JPG
The photo below shows another view of where the premolar was attached.

>>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/z1.jpg
Krogman suggested an infrared scan be performed and it was done at American Medical Laboratories in Chantilly, Va. Here's the result of the test:

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/graph.gif
This is what the laboratory stated in its official report:

>> http://edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/result.gif
It meant that the inclusion in the jaw-like area was neither rock nor concretion but something that once lived.

When the scan was interpreted later, this fact was confirmed.

>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/compatible.gif
It also should be emphasized that microscopic study of the skull-like object was conducted and Haversian canals -- miniscule circles, the tell-tale sign of bone -- were visible.

It had prompted Krogman, at one point, to offer great encourgement,
as he followed the discoveries with great interest.:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/krogquote.gif
>>============================================

The following specimen was identified by Krogman as a petrified human calvarium -- a skull with the eyesockets broken off -- after he personally had examined it and even measured it with caliphers, expressing pleasure with the results..

Krogman, who was personally invited by the Egyptian government to be present when a Pharoah's tomb was opened years before, is shown holding the calvarium in the second photo.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/krogwskull.jpg
Moments after this photo was taken of Krogman with the specimen,
an associate -- a medical doctor -- walked into his office at the Cooper Clinic in Lancaster, Pa., and he told him to come closer to see "the oldest human skull ever found."

Two other photos of the specimen:
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-006S.JPG >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-007S.JPG
Meanwhile, a CATscan revealed a second protrusion not visible o the naked eye but located precisely where it would be expected to be found in a human cranium.

Here's a copy of that scan:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/images/catcalv.jpg
This specimen also tested positive for the presence of Haversian canals under microscopic scrutiny.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed testing of calculus analysis by crystallography on the specimen and found "a composition of dried blood intermingled with a few small crystals resembling calcium oxalate dihydrate."
>>
The laboratory's official report follows:
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-012S.JPG
>>=============================================

Another petrified human cranium was found approximately a year later only a short distance from where the human calvarium was discovered.

It was -- still is -- embedded in a boulder that must weigh at least 3,000 pounds.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skulla.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skullb.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/other1.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z2_2.jpg
The Smithsonian was sent a photograph and Raymond Rye,
musem specialist, replied in writing: "The object ... does resemble the outline of a human skull ... We must do a microscopic study of the outer rind to determine if it has the structure of bone."
>
>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr072782.gif >
The Smithsonian had been mailed granules, as requested, then weeks later replied: "X-ray analysis of the material reveals it to be quartz, the most abundant material of the earth's crust. So, although the enigmatic object exposed in the boulder may resemble a hominid skull, its mineral compostion is definitely not that of bone."

>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr090982.gif
The fact is, "x-ray analysis" is NOTan appropriate test to identify the presence or absence of cellular structure.

Later, a microcopic photo of granules removed from the specimen revealed the presence of Haversian canals. (Actually, I knew they did ahead of time because I had examined other granules microscopically before sending them to the Smithsonian.)
Here's one of those microscopic photos of the cell structure:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/proof1.jpg
>==================================================

This is a petrified human femur still embedded in shale, a near-cousin of coal. Portions of the bulb ends have broken off.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z6femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z8femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/z7femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Spec/MVC-001S.JPG
Since a femur measures approximately one-fourth of a human being's height, the femur belonged to someone at least 7 1/2-foot tall.

>>=====================================================

This specimen was identified as a portion of a tibia by Krogman and was subjected to one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of science.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/newtibia.jpg
Andrew Macrae, then of Calgary University, performed fraudulent testing when entrusted to examine its cellular structure and publish the microscopic photos on his web page. Instead. he posted microscopic photos of a rock or a concretion.

Macrae undoubtedly was advised and assisted by Paul Myers, then of Temple University in Philadelphia and now at the University of Minnesota.

When charged with participating in the scam, Myers adamantly denied it. Then, when I suggested officials of Temple University check their long-distance telephone calls during the time that Macrae was "testing" the specimen in the summer of 1996, Myers suddenly admitted in the talk.origins news group that he had made many phone calls to Calgary University in that time span but on other business.
>>
It didn't end there. Myers later admitted in talk.origins that he had FLOWN to Calgary one weekend during that same time period and had spent time on campus. He said he didn't even have a chance to say hello to Macrae, claiming he was there on other business.

Here are two additional photos of the portion of the petrified tibia,
(known as EC96-001 for Macrae's fraudulent testing purposes).
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib2.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib1.jpg
In addition, a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) was used to examine the interior surface features of this specimen and then compare it with cadaver bone at the same power magnification. These are the photos at 2,000-times magnification:.

>>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/bones.jpg
(They would look incredibly similiar if the grains were lying in exactly the same direction.)

The left photo in the first URL below shows what Andrew Macrae posted on his web page, claiming it was the cell structure of C96-001 and nothing like bone should look like (in the right photo).
The next two photos show EC96-001's true cell structure.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/canals/ts_compare1.jpg >>> http://edconrad.com/canals/slide1.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/canals/0505160x.jpg >>
It was just one of several fraudulent maneuvers perpetrated by members of the Scientifiic Establishment over the past 21 1/2
years when the first specimen -- the large petrified skull -- was discovered.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed calculus analysis by crystallography on EC96-001 and determined that it "consisted predominately of dried blood and protein."

That report follows:

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-006S.JPG
>>==============================================

Here's an assorment of miscellaneous specimens, primarily portions of petrified mandibles (jaw bones), found between the same coal veins:

A lung is a soft organ and, as such, many cnotend it can never petrify. However, in recent years it was established conclusively that soft organs can indeed be subjected to the petrification process.

>>============================================

Here's a petrified gall bladder, and a CATscan revealed the presence of a gall stone inside.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z5gall.jpg
This is one of the specimens that also was tested at American Medical Laboratories via calculus analysis by crystallography.

It revealed the specimen "consists of a few small pieces of dried blood," adding that "none of the constituents normally found in urinary calculi are present." (which comes as no surprise since the specimen it tested is petrified).

That report follows:

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-010S.JPG

This is a petrified human brain (one hemisphere):

Here are a pair of petrified fetuses.The large one, which has been transformed to a coal-like substance, measures 6 1/2
inches in length.

Here's a portion of a dinosaur foot embedded in slate (or shale):

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/z3dino.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-013S.JPG
It should be noted that a third "toe" was later found embedded in the slate where it would be expected to be. A video tape exists showing the top cover of slate patiently being removed, revealing the third "toe" just beneath the surface.

I should mention that the petrified femur and petrifed dinosaur foot remain as you see them -- still embedded in slate (or shale)
-- the way they were steamshoveled from between coal veins.

They are somewhere in this photo, taken from approximately five miles up, of scar-marked land that was strip-mined of its coal. But those remarkable discoveries are still there if you'd like to search.

Here's a petrified handcrafted wooden handle which has been transformed to anthracite. It also was found between the same two coal veins.

Here's a portion of petrified bone still embedded in slate,
confirming that it's older than the material in which it was encased.
Obviously, that material had to be fluid or in a fluidy state for something to harden around it.

Pa. -- too heavy for the paper bag --and the tip broke off but the two pieces fit together almost perfectly.)

The following is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion that was identified as such by Wilton Krogman.

When the world famous bone expert examined this specimen found between coal veins, he first urned to me and mentioned that he had performed countless disections of scorpions in college.
"What you have, Mr. Conrad (never Ed), is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion," he told me.

When discovered, the specimen was broken in two parts but they fit together perfectly.

This particular specimen was the subject of another cover-up by members of the Scientific Establishment -- the Department of Entomology at Penn State University.

Penn State actually has batted 0-for-3 with its attempted cover-ups of my specimens: First, its Department of Paleontology (Roger Cuffey); Second, its Department of Anthropology (Robert Eckardt). Third, its Department of Entomology (Charles Pitts).
>>===========================================

One of the specimens found between anthracite veins was positively identified as petrified bone by the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., which Krogman described as "the most prestigious institution of its kind in the world."
Jeremy Dahl, one of its bone experts who examined and tested it,
even put it in writing and signed his name, also making a drawing of the specimen that he had examined and tested..

Dahl definitely had examined the specimen's cell structure because he had cut off a slice while it was is possession.

The late, great Raymond Dart, MD., relished the opportunity to examine some of the specimens after Krogman had informed him about them.

a human cranium with the eye sockets broken off.

The original Easter bunny? Then, again, it might be the head of a petrified jackass. And, IF it is, it would be rather appropriate.

The Scientific Establishment -- led by its worldwide brood of arrogant, defiant tenured fossils -- has long been treating John Q. Public, and his kids, like a jackass, promoting fairy tales and molesting truth.

Over the past 22 years, it has engaged in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy -- of MONUMENTAL proportions -- and one of the ringleaders has been the Smithsonian Institution.

And here's my final thought (three pictures should be worth 2,000 words):

No question, members of the scientific establishment academia -- professors, students and alumni -- have long been fearful of me and my discoveries because of the dire consequences they realized what truth would bring.

And well they should have been because now that time has come. They're finally being put in their place and recognized for the total disgrace to science that they have been.

NOW they're not just *afraid* of Ed Conrad. They're terrified.

As of today -- at long last -- truth no longer will play second fiddle to the fiction, fantasy and fairy tales that have been dished out for more than a century about man's origin and ancestry.

It marks the official end of the deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy that has long been perpetrated by arrogant, egotistical members of the Scientific Establshment in and out of its hallowed Halls of Learning.

Their monumental hoax on mankind has met its match with the presentation of undeniable physical evidence that, multi-millions of years ago, the good earth wasn't anything like what has long been depicted by the scientific community.

For one thing, man -- in almost our present form -- existed while coal was being formed, and our ancestors lived alongside giant scorpions, dinosaurs and beasts with six-inch-high canine teeth.

And man and animals had one thing in common. Both were annihilated in some incredible catastrophe that blew them limb from limb and scattered their bones, teeth and soft organs in all directions..

What happened next is a testament to the late, great Immanuel Velikovsky who, more than a half-century ago, said the true story of earth's -- and man's -- past is written in the rocks, visible for all to see as part of the fossil record.

Eons ago -- before coal hardened -- some sort of fluid engulfed the bones, teeth and soft organs just after the great catastrophe, causing them to petrifiy and now offer a mindboggling horror story of mankind's distant past.

That man existed during the Carboniferous Period also offers proof that we could not possibly have evolved as suggested by the Darwin Theory.

Rightly so, because the theory of the evolution of man never possessed a shred of physical evidence in the first place.
Man could not -- and did not -- become such a magnificent machine by a series of incredible accidents of nature since it's an astronomical mathematical absurdity.

Even Charles Darwin had a sneaky suspicion his theory was full of hot air.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/truth/tosuppose.gif
But, since we were spoon-fed such pablum -- the evolution of man --
by members of the omniscient Scientific Establishment, most of us ate up every word. These pompous asses were neither to be questioned nor challenged.

About a year after finding my first specimen of petrified bone between coal veins in June 1981, I couldn't believe the incedible resistence I was encountering in my pursuit of honest investigation.

My longtime friend, Clayton Lennon (1900-1996), warned me it wouldn't be easy and one day, between puffs of his cigar,
summed up my despair quite eloquently .

> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/edyournot.gif
Meanwhile, as their noses continued to grow, so also did the arrogance of members of the Scientific Establishment who had long lost the goal of a search for truth. The only important thing to them, I soon learned, was to make no waves and concentrate on protecting their vested interests.

Over time, they had become incredibly ruthless and bold, really believing that -- as members of omnipotent Acadamia -- they could do anything they damn well pleased and answer to no one..

Since I have had a ringside seat over these past 22 years, I assure you that it has included not only denial of physical evidence that could -- would -- destroy the theory of the evolution of man but actually tampering with that evidence -- and I have come right out and named names.

Then, with brass testacles, the criminals were actually belitting the victim, with character assassination leveled like a Gatling gun.

And even worse, the assault on truth was adamantly defended by their colleagues.

Fortunately, for your grandchildren and mine, that day is over.
The pseudoscientists' day of reckoning has finally arrived.

But it comes as no surprise. After all, they had been forewarned:

TRUTH FINALLY CATCHES UP TO THE PERPETRATORS OF DECEIT, DECEPTION, COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY
===================================================

>> MAN AS OLD AS COAL >> All Specimens Found Between Anthracite Veins
(Strata geologically dated at a minimum of 280 million years)

Here are just a few of the thousands upon thousands of specimens of petrified bones, teeth and/or even soft organs -- some human --
that I have discovered between two separate anthracite veins in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past 22 years.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z8femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z5gall.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/newtibia.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/skullb.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/z9lung.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/brain/MVC-001S.JPG >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/1tooth.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/z3dino.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/MVC-013F.JPG >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/pp/MVC-022S.JPG
Strange, according to scientific doctrine, they couldn't possibly have been found in Carboniferous strata, dated at a minimum of 280 million years.

You see, every scientific tex book insists that no large land animals, let alone man, existed back then. Hell, man wouldn't begin evolving until multi-millions of years later, the pseudos proclaimed.

But the incredible arsenal of petrified bones, teeth and even soft organs proves -- beyond doubt -- that man and large land animals indeed had been around when coal was being formed. Otherwise,
their mortal remains could not have been preserved between layers of anthracite as the result of a catastrophe beyond our wildest imagination.

And, since this is the grim evidence that a catastrophe happened before, there is NO question that it could happen again.

Velikovsky provided evidence of catastrophes in his two books,
"Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval," published back in the early 1950s. In them, he offered undeniable evidence of calamities beyond human comprehension but was ridiculed and badmouthed by members of the Scientific Establishment.

Here's a copy of these two books, in paperback, and an explanation why Velikovsky was treated with scorn and contempt, which is how members of the Scientific Establishment have treated me for the last 21 1/2 years.

>> ====================================================

>> http://edconrad.com/ebay/Petrifiedx/MVC-010S.JPG >> http://edconrad.com/ebay/Petrifiedx/MVC-011S.JPG
>> ====================================================

A longtime newspaperman, I figured -- when realizing I was getting the shaft from the Scientific Establishment -- I'd get a fair shake from newspapers in an effort to tell my story.

I thought the editors would be genuinely interested in what might've sounded like a farfetched story, except that it was backed up by petrified bones, teeth and soft organs as old as coal.

Reporters from the Allentown (Pa.) Call-Chronicle and Las Vegas Sun, to mention just two, were greatly impressed. But when their stories appeared in print, it took my breath away. The articles were completely negative, making me look like that proverbial horse's ass.

Naturally, there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to give up on newspapers completely. I had long known the New York Times,
Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer wouldn't touch it because they had several opportunities to do so but bowed to their vested interests and ignored me.

Ditto for the TV network news shows like "60 Minutes."

For the longest time, it appeared the world would never know the truth about the catastrophe that decimated both man and animal while coal was being formed.

Then a miracle happened -- along came the Internet. It gave me a way to reach the pubic but, of course, the public wasn't paying attention because members of the Scientific Establishment kept making me look like a fool and an imbecile.

And, if you recall, they had been doing a mighty fine job of it right up until yesterday. That's when members of the Scientific Establishment got the second biggest shock of their lives, dwarfed only by the attack on the Twin Towers.

Suddenly overnight, with the presentation of an arsenal of physical evidence, the ridicule and character assassination have eased somewhat.

Suddenly, their cannons ran out of ammunition, accusations that I'm a liar and a fraud.

Suddenly, these Clown Princes of Sciences -- long having made a joke at the expense of sacred Science -- finally realized that their involvement in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy has caught up with them.

These Omniscient Buffoons have defended their colleagues who, with incredible audacity, have made a mockery of physical evidence, totally ignoring it and sometimes even tampering with it.

Thomas Alva Edison probably put in a nutshell what they were doing for so long, and my dear friend Clayton was right on target,
too.

===========================================
>========= SOME OF THE SPECIMENS =========
===========================================

The following is the very first discovery of petrified bone in coal-bearing Carboniferous strata in June 1981.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/first.jpg
The specimen, which I found by accident, resembled a giant skull and the Smithsonian expressed an interest after receiving a photo,
inviting me to bring it down to Washington so it could be examined firsthand.

Three of its "experts" -- an anthropologist, a paleontologist and a geologist -- looked it over carefully but, after a few minutes,
concurred that it was nothing more than a rock or concretion,
certainly nothng that had ever lived.

No one mentioned that a microscopic study of the specimen's cellular structure would accurately identify whether it is or is not bone. (I had no knowledge of this fact at the time and wouldn't be aware of it until many months later)

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/brain/textbook.gif >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/thefactthat.gif
In any event, while preparing to leave the Smithsonian, I politely asked if they would want to keep the specimen, perhaps to break apart the jaw-like area to see if teeth could be found inside. The three "experts" -- Joseph Brown and Robert McCurdy, the only two names I remember -- laughed at me and said it would be an absolute waste of their time.

About a month later -- rather discouraged -- I decided to search the interior of the jaw-like area on my own. It began with a nail to penetrate the rock hardness, then using all sorts of small tools to reach inside and, strangely, begin pulling out what resembled brownish dirt.

I was mysified that some sort of cavity existed and contacted the Smithsonian about this -- but was ignored.

After several weeks of part-time labor, I found a pair of peculiar objects inside. Photos were taken, greatly enlarged and sent to Krogman, the bone expert.

Our friendship had begun months previous when I had driven to Lancaster to show him the first strange secimen I had found that had come from between coal veins -- the large skull that the Smithsonian later dismissed as a rock.

Krogman studied the photo of the inclusion and then told me over the phone that the object is definitely a premolar tooth because "I can see a pair of cusps."

Here's the photo that Krogman had examined, with the dime offering an indication of size.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-014S.JPG
The photo below shows another view of where the premolar was attached.

>>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/z1.jpg
Krogman suggested an infrared scan be performed and it was done at American Medical Laboratories in Chantilly, Va. Here's the result of the test:

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/graph.gif
This is what the laboratory stated in its official report:

>> http://edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/result.gif
It meant that the inclusion in the jaw-like area was neither rock nor concretion but something that once lived.

When the scan was interpreted later, this fact was confirmed.

>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/compatible.gif
It also should be emphasized that microscopic study of the skull-like object was conducted and Haversian canals -- miniscule circles, the tell-tale sign of bone -- were visible.

It had prompted Krogman, at one point, to offer great encourgement,
as he followed the discoveries with great interest.:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/krogquote.gif
>>============================================

The following specimen was identified by Krogman as a petrified human calvarium -- a skull with the eyesockets broken off -- after he personally had examined it and even measured it with caliphers, expressing pleasure with the results..

Krogman, who was personally invited by the Egyptian government to be present when a Pharoah's tomb was opened years before, is shown holding the calvarium in the second photo.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/krogwskull.jpg
Moments after this photo was taken of Krogman with the specimen,
an associate -- a medical doctor -- walked into his office at the Cooper Clinic in Lancaster, Pa., and he told him to come closer to see "the oldest human skull ever found."

Two other photos of the specimen:
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-006S.JPG >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-007S.JPG
Meanwhile, a CATscan revealed a second protrusion not visible o the naked eye but located precisely where it would be expected to be found in a human cranium.

Here's a copy of that scan:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/images/catcalv.jpg
This specimen also tested positive for the presence of Haversian canals under microscopic scrutiny.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed testing of calculus analysis by crystallography on the specimen and found "a composition of dried blood intermingled with a few small crystals resembling calcium oxalate dihydrate."
>>
The laboratory's official report follows:
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-012S.JPG
>>=============================================

Another petrified human cranium was found approximately a year later only a short distance from where the human calvarium was discovered.

It was -- still is -- embedded in a boulder that must weigh at least 3,000 pounds.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skulla.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skullb.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/other1.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z2_2.jpg
The Smithsonian was sent a photograph and Raymond Rye,
musem specialist, replied in writing: "The object ... does resemble the outline of a human skull ... We must do a microscopic study of the outer rind to determine if it has the structure of bone."
>
>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr072782.gif >
The Smithsonian had been mailed granules, as requested, then weeks later replied: "X-ray analysis of the material reveals it to be quartz, the most abundant material of the earth's crust. So, although the enigmatic object exposed in the boulder may resemble a hominid skull, its mineral compostion is definitely not that of bone."

>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr090982.gif
The fact is, "x-ray analysis" is NOTan appropriate test to identify the presence or absence of cellular structure.

Later, a microcopic photo of granules removed from the specimen revealed the presence of Haversian canals. (Actually, I knew they did ahead of time because I had examined other granules microscopically before sending them to the Smithsonian.)

Here's one of those microscopic photos of the cell structure:

>> http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/proof1.jpg
>==================================================

This is a petrified human femur still embedded in shale, a near-cousin of coal. Portions of the bulb ends have broken off.

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z6femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z8femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/z7femur.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Spec/MVC-001S.JPG
Since a femur measures approximately one-fourth of a human being's height, the femur belonged to someone at least 7 1/2-foot tall.

>>=====================================================

This specimen was identified as a portion of a tibia by Krogman and was subjected to one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of science.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/newtibia.jpg
Andrew Macrae, then of Calgary University, performed fraudulent testing when entrusted to examine its cellular structure and publish the microscopic photos on his web page. Instead. he posted microscopic photos of a rock or a concretion.

Macrae undoubtedly was advised and assisted by Paul Myers, then of Temple University in Philadelphia and now at the University of Minnesota.

When charged with participating in the scam, Myers adamantly denied it. Then, when I suggested officials of Temple University check their long-distance telephone calls during the time that Macrae was "testing" the specimen in the summer of 1996, Myers suddenly admitted in the talk.origins news group that he had made many phone calls to Calgary University in that time span but on other business.
>>
It didn't end there. Myers later admitted in talk.origins that he had FLOWN to Calgary one weekend during that same time period and had spent time on campus. He said he didn't even have a chance to say hello to Macrae, claiming he was there on other business.

Here are two additional photos of the portion of the petrified tibia,
(known as EC96-001 for Macrae's fraudulent testing purposes).
>>
>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib2.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib1.jpg
In addition, a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) was used to examine the interior surface features of this specimen and then compare it with cadaver bone at the same power magnification. These are the photos at 2,000-times magnification:.

>>> http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/bones.jpg
(They would look incredibly similiar if the grains were lying in exactly the same direction.)

The left photo in the first URL below shows what Andrew Macrae posted on his web page, claiming it was the cell structure of C96-001 and nothing like bone should look like (in the right photo).
The next two photos show EC96-001's true cell structure.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/canals/ts_compare1.jpg >>> http://edconrad.com/canals/slide1.jpg >>> http://www.edconrad.com/canals/0505160x.jpg >>
It was just one of several fraudulent maneuvers perpetrated by members of the Scientifiic Establishment over the past 21 1/2
years when the first specimen -- the large petrified skull -- was discovered.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed calculus analysis by crystallography on EC96-001 and determined that it "consisted predominately of dried blood and protein."

That report follows:

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-006S.JPG
>>==============================================

Here's an assorment of miscellaneous specimens, primarily portions of petrified mandibles (jaw bones), found between the same coal veins:

A lung is a soft organ and, as such, many cnotend it can never petrify. However, in recent years it was established conclusively that soft organs can indeed be subjected to the petrification process.

>>============================================

Here's a petrified gall bladder, and a CATscan revealed the presence of a gall stone inside.

>>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z5gall.jpg
This is one of the specimens that also was tested at American Medical Laboratories via calculus analysis by crystallography.

It revealed the specimen "consists of a few small pieces of dried blood," adding that "none of the constituents normally found in urinary calculi are present." (which comes as no surprise since the specimen it tested is petrified).

That report follows:

Here's a portion of a dinosaur foot embedded in slate (or shale):

>> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/z3dino.jpg >> http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-013S.JPG
It should be noted that a third "toe" was later found embedded in the slate where it would be expected to be. A video tape exists showing the top cover of slate patiently being removed, revealing the third "toe" just beneath the surface.

I should mention that the petrified femur and petrifed dinosaur foot remain as you see them -- still embedded in slate (or shale)
-- the way they were steamshoveled from between coal veins.

They are somewhere in this photo, taken from approximately five miles up, of scar-marked land that was strip-mined of its coal. But those remarkable discoveries are still there if you'd like to search.

The following is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion that was identified as such by Wilton Krogman.

When the world famous bone expert examined this specimen found between coal veins, he first urned to me and mentioned that he had performed countless disections of scorpions in college.

"What you have, Mr. Conrad (never Ed), is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion," he told me.

When discovered, the specimen was broken in two parts but they fit together perfectly.

This particular specimen was the subject of another cover-up by members of the Scientific Establishment -- the Department of Entomology at Penn State University.

Penn State actually has batted 0-for-3 with its attempted cover-ups of my specimens: First, its Department of Paleontology (Roger Cuffey); Second, its Department of Anthropology (Robert Eckardt). Third, its Department of Entomology (Charles Pitts).

>>===========================================

One of the specimens found between anthracite veins was positively identified as petrified bone by the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., which Krogman described as "the most prestigious institution of its kind in the world."

Jeremy Dahl, one of its bone experts who examined and tested it,
even put it in writing and signed his name, also making a drawing of the specimen that he had examined and tested..

Dahl definitely had examined the specimen's cell structure because he had cut off a slice while it was is possession.

Here's another petrified hominid jaw, the frontal portion. Inclusions are embedded in it, possibly teeth or even part of the tongue.

This is a piece of petrified wood that had been transformed into coal-like material. It was handcarved, probably to make a tool or a weapon.

Here are two strange specimens, almost similiar. What makes them so intriguing is that they were found between anthracite veins some 40 miles apart -- one near Shenandoah and the other near Wilkes-Barre.

The late, great Raymond Dart, MD., relished the opportunity to examine some of the specimens after Krogman had informed him about them.

This photo shows Dart holding what Krogman identified as a calvarium,
a human cranium with the eye sockets broken off.

Here's Raymond Dart's letter:

>>>
>>> 28 October, 1983
>>>
>>> Dear Mr. Conrad:
>>>
>>> This is being written as a follow-up to our meeting here in >>> Philadelphia on Saturday, Oct. 15, during which I had the >>> opportunity to examine many of the rock-like objects you >>> had discovered in the coal fields of Pennsylvania, near >>> Shenandoah.
>>>
>>> In my opinion, the vast majority bear the contour of bone >>> and may well be petrified bone.
>>>
>>> I was particularly intrigued by one of your specimens which >>> I agree bears a distinct resemblance to a dainosaur head >>> or a homind skullcap, heavily petrified.
>>>
>>> Based on our vast ignorance about vulconology, as regards >>> both anatomy and anthropology, I am of the opinion that your >>> findings definitely warrant intense investigation by that subject's >>> foremost experts, especially here in America where so many >>> volcanic disturbances occur even today.

>>> Yours sincerely,

The original Easter bunny? Then, again, it might be the head of a petrified jackass. And, IF it is, it would be rather appropriate.

The Scientific Establishment -- led by its worldwide brood of arrogant, defiant tenured fossils -- has long been treating John Q. Public, and his kids, like a jackass, promoting fairy tales and molesting truth.

Over the past 22 years, it has engaged in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy -- of MONUMENTAL proportions -- and one of the ringleaders has been the Smithsonian Institution.

And here's my final thought (three pictures should be worth 2,000 words):

No question, members of the scientific establishment academia -- professors, students and alumni -- have long been fearful of me and my discoveries because of the dire consequences they realized what truth would bring.

And well they should have been because now that time has come. They're finally being put in their place and recognized for the total disgrace to science that they have been.

NOW they're not just *afraid* of Ed Conrad. They're terrified.

As I mentioned in a more detailed post, with each other. If you think that's strange, then how about Adam marrying his own RIB :-)

>>In both cases, it's 1/3 of the angels that were kicked out of >>heaven with satan, when he rebelled.
>Is this in the Bible? Would you mind providing chapter and verse?

"How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will go up to the heavens,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the Pit. Those who see you shall stare and closely watch you, saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble; who shook kingdoms;"
(Isaiah 14:12-16)

Satan was and still is a spoiled brat.

"You were the anointed cherub that covers, and I had put you in the holy height of God where you were; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. By the multitude of your goods they have filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned. So I cast you profaned from the height of God, and I destroy you, O covering cherub, from among the stones of fire. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have spoiled your wisdom because of your brightness. I will cast you to the ground; I will put you before kings, that they may behold you. By the host of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade, you have profaned your holy places; so I brought a fire from your midst; it shall devour you,
and I will give you for ashes on the earth, before the eyes of all who see you. All who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you; you shall be terrors, and you will not be forever."
(Eze 28:14-19)

He had it all.

"And He said to them, I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightning."
(Luk 10:18)

He got put out of his butt swiftly.. way to go God!

"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them onto the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman being about to bear, so that when she bears he might devour her child." (Rev 12:4)

Satan clearly poisioned more than just his own deluded mind up there.

"And there was war in Heaven. Michael and his angels warring against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels warred, but did not prevail.
Nor was place found for them in Heaven any more. And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent called Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
(Rev 12:7-9)

I hope this is enough proof for you.

Some people believe this is to be a future event.. it's really hard to tell in the prophetic books like Revelation.. but its clear that already we know that Satan and 1/3rd of the heavenly host were and are still rebellious, given that we already have it in writing.
