The Extinction Connection

from Almost Canon Hosted by Nick

This week we play off our Real To Reel movie and ask the question: Are cryptids relic survivors of extinct animals? People believe the Loch Ness Monster is a Plesiosamur, a marine reptile that died out 65 million years ago.There stories out of the Congo of dinosaur-like crypts that should also have died out millions of years ago and many believe that Sasquatch is, or at the very least, is the direct ancestor of the Gigantopithecus, which by all accounts died out around 300 thousands years ago. But that's just a start. There are countless cryptids from all over the world that seem to be survivors of ancient animals. So are they survivors or something else? There are certainly cryptos out there that clearly aren't prehistoric beasts so what are they? well in this weeks episode we try to answer some of these questions or at the very least direct them as best we can.

Explicit Naked Mormonism Podcast Bryce Blankenagel The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has been around for almost two centuries. It has ebbed and fluctuated in such a predictably adaptive manner throughout it's relatively short life in the religious realm. This Church has a very sordid past, which it does a very good job of teaching for itself, whether the history is slanted or not, is yours to decide. Join me on a journey through the history of the LDS Church through the eyes of the people that were actually there. We will learn about the founding members, where the practices came from, where the Book of Mormon (Mormon Bible) came from, and most importantly, we will examine Joseph Smith in every aspect possibly available to us today.
