This butterfly is excited to be speaking with Rebekah Braswell. Rebekah is an innovative leader who pioneered the business case for nature-based solutions and persuaded early adopter corporations that approaching sustainability agendas through high-quality nature restoration is necessary and investible. She is the CEO of Land Life. Before Land Life, Rebekah attended Oxford University and worked for a decade on economic development and food security. She brought her experience with the competing dynamics of land use and the environmental power/risk of business, building a model in which land ownership remained locally held and local communities were empowered custodians. In this episode, you will hear about her work at Land Life, innovations in reforestation, forest fires, and more. Some notes... More about 1treellion & Rebekah Braswell.

For those of us who seek to follow Christ, we can sometimes feel out of place, like we don't belong, or don't always fit in--as if we are exiles, foreigners in strange land. Worse, we can face persecution--as many do in parts of our world today. First Peter is a letter written by the Apostle Peter to several churches who were dealing with just this kind of strangeness. While persecution was not yet full-blown and formal, Christians in his day had to deal with misunderstandings, peer pressure, and the ups and downs of life on a fallen planet in a hostile land. Join us as we seek to hear what Peter had to say to his first readers and how it might apply to us, today.
Do you want a promised-land life? Desire to feel the fullness of glory days? Than obey God's commands. What's that? You...

De biodiversiteit neemt af en de CO2 in de atmosfeer neemt toe. Land Life wil deze uitdagingen het hoofd bieden door bomen te planten over de hele wereld. Zo herstellen ze leefgebieden van planten en dieren én zorgen ze ervoor dat er CO2 wordt opgenomen. Jeroen van Veen, de Nederlandse vertegenwoordiger van Land Life in Australië ziet met eigen ogen waarom dat zo hard nodig is.

El bosque es vida, de eso no tenemos duda. Pero cuando hablamos de reforestar áreas degradadas o para compensar la huella de carbono de tu empresa, no todo vale. Empresas como Land Life se encargan de que el proceso sea respetuoso con el medio ambiente y aseguran que el bosque se adapte a las condiciones locales, generando vida durante muchos años. Hablamos con Francisco Purroy, su responsable en España, para aprender más sobre el trabajo que están llevando a cabo en nuestro país para convertir a la Península Ibérica en un cinturón que proteja a Europa de la desertificación.
Three Mandatory Tasks to Complete Every Day in Your Land Life (LA 1718) Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: Steven and Jill here. Jill K DeWit: Hi. Steven Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the valley of the sun. Steven Jack Butala: Today Jill and I talk about three mandatory tasks to complete every day in your land life. I think they're going to be kind of surprised about some of this stuff. Jill K DeWit: All right. I'm excited. I know you put this together and you have some thoughts on this. I'm just going to let you run with it. Steven Jack Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free, and did you know that Jill and I personally instruct a handful of new and existing Land Academy members in a live class called Career Path? If buying and selling land is your career, or you want it to be your career, this may be for you. Check us out on the internet at LandAcademy.com and give us a call. Jill K DeWit: I would also like to add a little follow-up announcement that we are doing a live all about Career Path tomorrow because we have some great changes that we're making to it. This is actually session number four that is starting in April. So, tomorrow's the big announcement. Check out YouTube or Facebook live under the Land Academy pages at four o'clock Pacific time, eight o'clock Eastern time. So, that's Tuesday, March 15th, four o'clock Pacific time, 8:00 PM Eastern time. Go to Land Academy on YouTube or Facebook and you could see us live and ask us all kinds of questions about Career Path. And we're going to fill you in with some exciting new things that we're doing this time. Thank you. And back to the show. Okay. So, Casey wrote "$16.53 cents net profit. Be careful of HOA properties, as mentioned a lot." Aw, yeah. Steven Jack Butala: I have to tell you this. So, Casey's been with us for a while and I don't like all this rah-rah peaches and cream. So, Casey has a little story here about a property where he basically broke even and I think the world needs to hear it. Jill K DeWit: Yep. So, here's the story. "I bought this lot a year ago, assuming values were around $3,000, as was all the information that I could find. That included MLS access, which I have. After buying for $750, which I bought a second lot for $100 in the same HOA and sold a few weeks as the price was too good to pass up, I learned that the HOA had a board of property for sale at $1,500 or less. Thankfully, I was able to find a buyer this weekend who loved it. After all the fees I made a whopping $16.53 cents. I'm happy this one was a net positive and no matter how small, it's off my plate, but the point is watch out for those HOA properties." Jill K DeWit: That's one of the reasons why we kind of like... Unfortunately, initially I have a negative feeling about HOA stuff because of this and it may not be that bad. Some of the HOA rules are not that bad. Maybe just some nice, common sense, like let's not trash the place up, and I don't disagree with that. But some have really hefty transfer fees every single time and the way we do it, we buy the property, we own it, and then we try and sell it. So, I'm paying those transfer fees twice and they can be a couple thousand dollars each time. I've been hit with that. So, you got to really budget for it. Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. This is still the land of the free and the home of the brave and HOAs kind of throw a wrench in all that with their fees and their rules and all of that. So, we're rural vacant land people. It just goes against what land represents. Jill K DeWit: It kind of does. Isn't that funny? I know. Exactly. Steven Jack Butala: That cowboy type freedom. Jill K DeWit: Do you think Yellowstone has an HOA? Could you imagine? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That back 40 over there,

The term "lone soldier" refers to recruits in the Israel Defense Forces who have little or no family support systems in the Jewish state. Israel estimates there 6,000 lone soldiers currently active. While it's impossible to say how many of those are Canadian, it's relatively common for Canadian high school graduates to head to the Holy Land for two years of military service, despite the known issues of occasional homesickness, language barriers, depression and even suicide. Elsewhere, some Canadian groups have argued that it's illegal for a foreign country to recruit soldiers on Canadian soil. But none of that is preventing young Canadian Jews from signing up to defend the Jewish homeland. Today, we'll hear from two veterans of the lone soldier program: Zach Brown, now working at an Israeli startup in Tel Aviv, and Rebecca Weiss, who finished her army duty a year ago, and is now studying at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. What we talked about: Read the Nefesh B'Nefesh brochure for parents of lone soldiers at nbn.org.il Read "How friendships and authentic Israel experiences shaped my Aliyah story" at thecjn.ca Read "Ambassador welcomes Canadian IDF Lone Soldiers" at thecjn.ca Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Located in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, Last Wave Brewing has a fun apres surf vibe and excellent beers that follow a similar theme. Growing up surfers (and skiers) they combined that passion for riding waves with brewing beer one winter when they were looking for something to do other than surf.

The girls are back and this week we are chatting about how we've settled into living on land. For many of us, we've had to face reality and either move back in with our parents or search for our own place. In Episode 22 we discuss it all - from signing leases to having parents as our roommates again. And as usual, we have lots of life updates! Tune in! And don't forget to leave us a review!
In common law and statutory law, a life estate (or life tenancy) is the ownership of immovable property for the duration of a person's life. In legal terms, it is an estate in real property that ends at death when ownership of the property may revert to the original owner, or it may pass to another person. The owner of a life estate is called a "life tenant". In the combined jurisdiction of England and Wales since 1925 a freehold estate intended to be 'held' as a life interest takes effect only as an interest enjoyed in equity, specifically as an interest in possession trust. The other type of land ownership is leasehold and although most long leases are for a period of between 99 and 999 years 'leases for life' will be interpreted in often unpredictable ways as either as a license or a lease. A defeasible estate is created when a grantor transfers land conditionally. Upon the happening of the event or condition stated by the grantor, the transfer may be void or at least subject to annulment. (An estate not subject to such conditions is called an indefeasible estate.) Historically, the common law has frowned on the use of defeasible estates as it interferes with the owners' enjoyment of their property and as such has made it difficult to create a valid future interest. Unless a defeasible estate is clearly intended, modern courts will construe the language against this type of estate. Three types of defeasible estates are the fee simple determinable, the fee simple subject to an executory limitation or interest, and the fee simple subject to a condition subsequent. Because a defeasible estate always grants less than a full fee simple, a defeasible estate will always create one or more future interests. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

Deuteronomy 2:1-3:11 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Have you ever been at a place in life where either the consequences of the past or the prospects of the future seem almost overwhelming? In Deuteronomy 2-3 the Israelites looked back over 38 years and saw nothing but frightening skeletons and dry desserts. When they hesitantly peered forward, they saw insurmountable obstacles and giant difficulties on every front. You can probably imagine how difficult their next steps of obedience must have been. God called his people to move forward by faith right into a space of conflict and a territory of opposition. But through it all, he wanted them to understand that he was sovereign. And perhaps that’s what God wants to teach us. He is sovereign over lands and life itself. The question is, have you submitted to his sovereignty over you? May the Lord convince us of his greatness and cause our hearts to bow before him as we look into his word together.

An ecosystem restoration company working to reforest hundreds of thousands of hectares. We discussed the technologies they are developing to drawdown as much co2 as possible! And their changing business model, from selling a tree planting tech to offering end to end reforestation services. Key points of the interview: - Koen: trees are really fascinating organisms standing on a single place for centuries and having to cope with anything that goes by. - Koen: It is really necessary to use trees to use forests to sequester carbon to to protect biodiversity to protect areas and soils and to hand them over in a better state to the next generation. - Koen: I mean the science and the government are not going to do this. That is a too lengthy too inefficient kind of process. - Arnout: we really went from a product oriented company to an end to end reforestation company - Arnout: now our clients pay us for either for per hectare or per ton CO2 sequestered - Arnout: we are engaging in a process called data driven planting where we want to plant as much trees as possible in a planting season we want to do it at the lowest cost possible and at the lowest impact to nature. - Arnout: these areas are very much of interest to us because there is a lot of erosion going on and nature is not coming back unaided. - Koen: Scale is really important because you have to really build in a forest. So tens and hundreds of hectares are good at the end of the day you really need to restorate landscapes catchments. - Koen (where trees don’t have value) the value of the tree is the value of the match - Arnout: Spain is actually the first European country that really has to deal with desertification - Harrie: you can eat CO2 credits - Arnout: each tree we have a G.P.S. lock so lat long which is unique for a tree. - Harrie followed up after the podcast, in Spain 10M hectares roughly the size of Portugal or Iceland, is degraded - Koen: diversity it is a kind of risk management approach - Arnout: I don't think the public can imagine what the impact is - Arnout: I think this (restoration) is becoming an industry Land Life Company www.landlifecompany.com Technology developed by Land Life company: landlifecompany.com/technology/ Their project with Lease Plan: https://landlifecompany.com/case/turning-carbon-into-forests-with-leaseplan/ We covered REDD+ with Mike Korchinsky https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/interview-with-mike-korchinsky Holm Oak en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_ilex Project Drawdown www.drawdown.org/solutions/land-use/afforestation Deforestation Haiti vs Dominican republic https://blog.kulikulifoods.com/2015/11/05/deforestation-in-haiti/ Why cities plant trees https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/why-we-need-trees-our-cities/1100050/ If you want to receive an email when I upload a new episode, subscribe here eepurl.com/cxU33P The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Liz talks with Dianna Hunter about her memoir Wild Mares: My Lesbian Back-to-the-Land Life. A firsthand account of the lesbian feminist movement at its inception, Wild Mares is a deeply personal, wryly wise, and always engaging view of identity politics lived and learned in real life and, literally, on the ground, flourishing in the fertile soil of a struggling dairy farm in the American heartland. Dianna Hunter is the author of the book and radio series Breaking Hard Ground: Stories of the Minnesota Farm Advocates. She taught writing and women’s and gender studies at four universities, including the University of Wisconsin–Superior, where she was a lecturer and director until she retired in 2012. Steve talks with Lou Berney about his most recent novel November Road. A thriller and love story set against the backdrop of the JFK assassination, it centers on a desperate cat-and-mouse chase across 1960s America—a story of unexpected connections, daring possibilities, and the hope of second chances from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone.

This is the last part to the borderlands episode featuring Tohono O'odham Hemajkam Rights Network (TOHRN). Two members of the group, Amy Juan, and Nellie Jo David, had the opportunity to travel to Palestine with the World Without Walls delegation in 2017. Their purpose to making the journey was to listen and learn about how Palestinians are impacted by the Israeli Apartheid Wall. The simliar connections to a border wall and living in a militarized community can be easily linked to what border communities in Southern Arizona are dealing with. These two O'odham women also had the opportunity to share about how Tohono O'odham and our lands have been affected by border issues. Tune in to more about what the experience was like and how it inspired them to continue doing the work they do in regards to community and border issues on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

The tribes of Israel entered their lands, some with complaining, lack of wisdom and struggles. Others wholeheartedly took possession and embraced God's promises and instruction. We need to take hold of the promised life fully.
In this episode, on two separate interviews I feature Josh Garcia, Tohono O'odham tribal member and journalists Todd Miller. During the interview with Josh we discuss the the fifteen integrated fixed towers proposed to be permanently placed along the border within' the boundary of the Tohono O'odham Nation. Josh's' work consists of sharing information on these surveillance towers to tribal members who've never heard of this proposal or have little understanding of it. As I sat with Todd Miller we first discuss his relation to the Tohono O'odham community and how his work relates to whats happening on the Tohono O'odham Nation in regards to the border. We also discuss his current book titled "Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration, & Homeland Security." In his first book titled "Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the frontlines of Homeland Security", Todd dedicated an entire chapter to O'odham tribal members. Tune in to hear more about these two perspectives on the southern border. Date Recorded: January 2018
This week we pay tribute to Dennis Banks, Ojibwa from Leech Lake, who dies on the 29th October at age 80. He was an activist, educator and writer and co-founded the American Indian Movement in 1968. He was involved in and organised many sacred walks and runs, enacting an ancient Native American tradition of bringing a message of "Land, Life and Peace" from village to village on foot.Today we’ll hear excerpts from recordings by and interviews with nuclear-free campaigners who have run or walked alongside Banks. Recordings by Gem, Crunch and AC.

Charlotte Jongejan head of marketing and communications bij Land Life Company, vertelt over de activiteiten van het bedrijf. Land Life Company komt uit Amsterdam, maar het is actief op vier continenten. Het bedrijf gebruikt ‘boom-couveuses’ om droge gebieden te herstellen. De Cocoon, zoals de boom-couveuse heet, is gemaakt van bio-afbreekbaar paperpulp en wordt in de grond geplaatst met ongeveer 25 liter water. Met dit water kan de boom 2/3 maanden vooruit zonder regen. Zo geeft Land Life Compnay bomen een kickstart, terwijl de box vanzelf afbreekt.
Charlotte Jongejan vertelt over de hoge efficiëntie van de Cocoon, een bio-afbreekbaar waterreservoir voor bomen.

TIMELINE - Met een speciale cocon kunnen jonge boompjes een jaar lang groeien in zeer droge gebieden. The Land Life Company won met deze vinding recent de Postcode Loterij Green Challenge en een geldprijs van een half miljoen euro.7 Ditches TV duikt in de Timeline van director Willemijn Stoffels. "Ik geloof erg in dit bedrijf en het probleem van ontbossing."Een half miljoen euro van de Postcode Loterij gaat volgens Stoffels veel verschil maken. "We kunnen ons product nu op grotere schaal gaan testen.'Dat product, 'the cocoon' is een soort kartonnen doos die werkt als een couveuse voor boompjes. "De boom kan op de inhoud van de cocon een jaar lang overleven", zegt Stoffels.Dankzij een ingebouwd irrigatiesysteem, met een voorraad van 20 liter water, krijgt het boompje bijvoorbeeld kleine beetjes water toegediend. De wortels kunnen zo diep genoeg groeien om het grondwater te bereiken. "Je hoeft de boom nooit meer water te geven."DadelboerenHet product wordt bijvoorbeeld gebruikt door dadelboeren in Saudi Arabië of door de overheid in Mexico. Een cocoon kost 8 euro. "Dat wordt hopelijk nog minder", aldus Stoffels.Het idee is dat mensen zelf hun bomen kunnen planten en verzorgen. Stoffels wil de 'community' bij haar bedrijf betrekken. "We willen een financieel gezond bedrijf, maar ook een bijdrage leveren aan ontbossing."
Urantia During the Early Land-Life Era (685.1) 60:0.1 THE era of exclusive marine life has ended. Land elevation, cooling crust and cooling oceans, sea restriction and consequent deepening, together with a great increase of land in northern latitudes, all conspired greatly to change the world’s climate in all regions far removed from the equatorial zone. (685.2) 60:0.2 The closing epochs of the preceding era were indeed the age of frogs, but these ancestors of the land vertebrates were no longer dominant, having survived in greatly reduced numbers. Very few types outlived the rigorous trials of the preceding period of biologic tribulation. Even the spore-bearing plants were nearly extinct. 1. The Early Reptilian Age (685.3) 60:1.1 The erosion deposits of this period were mostly conglomerates, shale, and sandstone. The gypsum and red layers throughout these sedimentations over both America and Europe indicate that the climate of these continents was arid. These arid districts were subjected to great erosion from the violent and periodic cloudbursts on the surrounding highlands. (685.4) 60:1.2 Few fossils are to be found in these layers, but numerous sandstone footprints of the land reptiles may be observed. In many regions the one thousand feet of red sandstone deposit of this period contains no fossils. The life of land animals was continuous only in certain parts of Africa. (685.5) 60:1.3 These deposits vary in thickness from 3,000 to 10,000 feet, even being 18,000 on the Pacific coast. Lava was later forced in between many of these layers. The Palisades of the Hudson River were formed by the extrusion of basalt lava between these Triassic strata. Volcanic action was extensive in different parts of the world. (685.6) 60:1.4 Over Europe, especially Germany and Russia, may be found deposits of this period. In England the New Red Sandstone belongs to this epoch. Limestone was laid down in the southern Alps as the result of a sea invasion and may now be seen as the peculiar dolomite limestone walls, peaks, and pillars of those regions. This layer is to be found all over Africa and Australia. The Carrara marble comes from such modified limestone. Nothing of this period will be found in the southern regions of South America as that part of the continent remained down and hence presents only a water or marine deposit continuous with the preceding and succeeding epochs. (686.1) 60:1.5 150,000,000 years ago the early land-life periods of the world’s history began. Life, in general, did not fare well but did better than at the strenuous and hostile close of the marine-life era. (686.2) 60:1.6 As this era opens, the eastern and central parts of North America, the northern half of South America, most of Europe, and all of Asia are well above water. North America for the first time is geographically isolated, but not for long as the Bering Strait land bridge soon again emerges, connecting the continent with Asia. (686.3) 60:1.7 Great troughs developed in North America, paralleling the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The great eastern-Connecticut fault appeared, one side eventually sinking two miles. Many of these North American troughs were later filled with erosion deposits, as also were many of the basins of the fresh- and salt-water lakes of the mountain regions. Later on, these filled land depressions were greatly elevated by lava flows which occurred underground. The petrified forests of many regions belong to this epoch. (686.4) 60:1.8 The Pacific coast, usually above water during the continental submergences, went down excepting the southern part of California and a large island which then existed in what is now the Pacific Ocean. This ancient California sea was rich in marine life and extended eastward to connect with the old sea basin of the midwestern region. (686.5) 60:1.9 140,000,000 years ago, suddenly and with only the hint of the two prereptilian ancestors that developed in Africa during the preceding epoch, the reptiles appeared in full-fledged form. They developed rapidly, soon yielding crocodiles, scaled reptiles, and eventually both sea serpents and flying reptiles. Their transition ancestors speedily disappeared. (686.6) 60:1.10 These rapidly evolving reptilian dinosaurs soon became the monarchs of this age. They were egg layers and are distinguished from all animals by their small brains, having brains weighing less than one pound to control bodies later weighing as much as forty tons. But earlier reptiles were smaller, carnivorous, and walked kangaroolike on their hind legs. They had hollow avian bones and subsequently developed only three toes on their hind feet, and many of their fossil footprints have been mistaken for those of giant birds. Later on, the herbivorous dinosaurs evolved. They walked on all fours, and one branch of this group developed a protective armor. (686.7) 60:1.11 Several million years later the first mammals appeared. They were nonplacental and proved a speedy failure; none survived. This was an experimental effort to improve mammalian types, but it did not succeed on Urantia. (686.8) 60:1.12 The marine life of this period was meager but improved rapidly with the new invasion of the sea, which again produced extensive coast lines of shallow waters. Since there was more shallow water around Europe and Asia, the richest fossil beds are to be found about these continents. Today, if you would study the life of this age, examine the Himalayan, Siberian, and Mediterranean regions, as well as India and the islands of the southern Pacific basin. A prominent feature of the marine life was the presence of hosts of the beautiful ammonites, whose fossil remains are found all over the world. (686.9) 60:1.13 130,000,000 years ago the seas had changed very little. Siberia and North America were connected by the Bering Strait land bridge. A rich and unique marine life appeared on the Californian Pacific coast, where over one thousand species of ammonites developed from the higher types of cephalopods. The life changes of this period were indeed revolutionary notwithstanding that they were transitional and gradual. (687.1) 60:1.14 This period extended over twenty-five million years and is known as the Triassic. 2. The Later Reptilian Age (687.2) 60:2.1 120,000,000 years ago a new phase of the reptilian age began. The great event of this period was the evolution and decline of the dinosaurs. Land-animal life reached its greatest development, in point of size, and had virtually perished from the face of the earth by the end of this age. The dinosaurs evolved in all sizes from a species less than two feet long up to the huge noncarnivorous dinosaurs, seventy-five feet long, that have never since been equaled in bulk by any living creature. (687.3) 60:2.2 The largest of the dinosaurs originated in western North America. These monstrous reptiles are buried throughout the Rocky Mountain regions, along the whole of the Atlantic coast of North America, over western Europe, South Africa, and India, but not in Australia. (687.4) 60:2.3 These massive creatures became less active and strong as they grew larger and larger; but they required such an enormous amount of food and the land was so overrun by them that they literally starved to death and became extinct — they lacked the intelligence to cope with the situation. (687.5) 60:2.4 By this time most of the eastern part of North America, which had long been elevated, had been leveled down and washed into the Atlantic Ocean so that the coast extended several hundred miles farther out than now. The western part of the continent was still up, but even these regions were later invaded by both the northern sea and the Pacific, which extended eastward to the Dakota Black Hills region. (687.6) 60:2.5 This was a fresh-water age characterized by many inland lakes, as is shown by the abundant fresh-water fossils of the so-called Morrison beds of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming. The thickness of these combined salt- and fresh-water deposits varies from 2,000 to 5,000 feet; but very little limestone is present in these layers. (687.7) 60:2.6 The same polar sea that extended so far down over North America likewise covered all of South America except the soon appearing Andes Mountains. Most of China and Russia was inundated, but the water invasion was greatest in Europe. It was during this submergence that the beautiful lithographic stone of southern Germany was laid down, those strata in which fossils, such as the most delicate wings of olden insects, are preserved as of but yesterday. (687.8) 60:2.7 The flora of this age was much like that of the preceding. Ferns persisted, while conifers and pines became more and more like the present-day varieties. Some coal was still being formed along the northern Mediterranean shores. (687.9) 60:2.8 The return of the seas improved the weather. Corals spread to European waters, testifying that the climate was still mild and even, but they never again appeared in the slowly cooling polar seas. The marine life of these times improved and developed greatly, especially in European waters. Both corals and crinoids temporarily appeared in larger numbers than heretofore, but the ammonites dominated the invertebrate life of the oceans, their average size ranging from three to four inches, though one species attained a diameter of eight feet. Sponges were everywhere, and both cuttlefish and oysters continued to evolve. (688.1) 60:2.9 110,000,000 years ago the potentials of marine life were continuing to unfold. The sea urchin was one of the outstanding mutations of this epoch. Crabs, lobsters, and the modern types of crustaceans matured. Marked changes occurred in the fish family, a sturgeon type first appearing, but the ferocious sea serpents, descended from the land reptiles, still infested all the seas, and they threatened the destruction of the entire fish family. (688.2) 60:2.10 This continued to be, pre-eminently, the age of the dinosaurs. They so overran the land that two species had taken to the water for sustenance during the preceding period of sea encroachment. These sea serpents represent a backward step in evolution. While some new species are progressing, certain strains remain stationary and others gravitate backward, reverting to a former state. And this is what happened when these two types of reptiles forsook the land. (688.3) 60:2.11 As time passed, the sea serpents grew to such size that they became very sluggish and eventually perished because they did not have brains large enough to afford protection for their immense bodies. Their brains weighed less than two ounces notwithstanding the fact that these huge ichthyosaurs sometimes grew to be fifty feet long, the majority being over thirty-five feet in length. The marine crocodilians were also a reversion from the land type of reptile, but unlike the sea serpents, these animals always returned to the land to lay their eggs. (688.4) 60:2.12 Soon after two species of dinosaurs migrated to the water in a futile attempt at self-preservation, two other types were driven to the air by the bitter competition of life on land. But these flying pterosaurs were not the ancestors of the true birds of subsequent ages. They evolved from the hollow-boned leaping dinosaurs, and their wings were of batlike formation with a spread of twenty to twenty-five feet. These ancient flying reptiles grew to be ten feet long, and they had separable jaws much like those of modern snakes. For a time these flying reptiles appeared to be a success, but they failed to evolve along lines which would enable them to survive as air navigators. They represent the nonsurviving strains of bird ancestry. (688.5) 60:2.13 Turtles increased during this period, first appearing in North America. Their ancestors came over from Asia by way of the northern land bridge. (688.6) 60:2.14 One hundred million years ago the reptilian age was drawing to a close. The dinosaurs, for all their enormous mass, were all but brainless animals, lacking the intelligence to provide sufficient food to nourish such enormous bodies. And so did these sluggish land reptiles perish in ever-increasing numbers. Henceforth, evolution will follow the growth of brains, not physical bulk, and the development of brains will characterize each succeeding epoch of animal evolution and planetary progress. (688.7) 60:2.15 This period, embracing the height and the beginning decline of the reptiles, extended nearly twenty-five million years and is known as the Jurassic. 3. The Cretaceous Stage The Flowering-Plant Period The Age of Birds (688.8) 60:3.1 The great Cretaceous period derives its name from the predominance of the prolific chalk-making foraminifers in the seas. This period brings Urantia to near the end of the long reptilian dominance and witnesses the appearance of flowering plants and bird life on land. These are also the times of the termination of the westward and southward drift of the continents, accompanied by tremendous crustal deformations and concomitant widespread lava flows and great volcanic activities. (689.1) 60:3.2 Near the close of the preceding geologic period much of the continental land was up above water, although as yet there were no mountain peaks. But as the continental land drift continued, it met with the first great obstruction on the deep floor of the Pacific. This contention of geologic forces gave impetus to the formation of the whole vast north and south mountain range extending from Alaska down through Mexico to Cape Horn. (689.2) 60:3.3 This period thus becomes the modern mountain-building stage of geologic history. Prior to this time there were few mountain peaks, merely elevated land ridges of great width. Now the Pacific coast range was beginning to elevate, but it was located seven hundred miles west of the present shore line. The Sierras were beginning to form, their gold-bearing quartz strata being the product of lava flows of this epoch. In the eastern part of North America, Atlantic sea pressure was also working to cause land elevation. (689.3) 60:3.4 100,000,000 years ago the North American continent and a part of Europe were well above water. The warping of the American continents continued, resulting in the metamorphosing of the South American Andes and in the gradual elevation of the western plains of North America. Most of Mexico sank beneath the sea, and the southern Atlantic encroached on the eastern coast of South America, eventually reaching the present shore line. The Atlantic and Indian Oceans were then about as they are today. (689.4) 60:3.5 95,000,000 years ago the American and European land masses again began to sink. The southern seas commenced the invasion of North America and gradually extended northward to connect with the Arctic Ocean, constituting the second greatest submergence of the continent. When this sea finally withdrew, it left the continent about as it now is. Before this great submergence began, the eastern Appalachian highlands had been almost completely worn down to the water’s level. The many colored layers of pure clay now used for the manufacture of earthenware were laid down over the Atlantic coast regions during this age, their average thickness being about 2,000 feet. (689.5) 60:3.6 Great volcanic actions occurred south of the Alps and along the line of the present California coast-range mountains. The greatest crustal deformations in millions upon millions of years took place in Mexico. Great changes also occurred in Europe, Russia, Japan, and southern South America. The climate became increasingly diversified. (689.6) 60:3.7 90,000,000 years ago the angiosperms emerged from these early Cretaceous seas and soon overran the continents. These land plants suddenly appeared along with fig trees, magnolias, and tulip trees. Soon after this time fig trees, breadfruit trees, and palms overspread Europe and the western plains of North America. No new land animals appeared. (689.7) 60:3.8 85,000,000 years ago the Bering Strait closed, shutting off the cooling waters of the northern seas. Theretofore the marine life of the Atlantic-Gulf waters and that of the Pacific Ocean had differed greatly, owing to the temperature variations of these two bodies of water, which now became uniform.* (689.8) 60:3.9 The deposits of chalk and greensand marl give name to this period. The sedimentations of these times are variegated, consisting of chalk, shale, sandstone, and small amounts of limestone, together with inferior coal or lignite, and in many regions they contain oil. These layers vary in thickness from 200 feet in some places to 10,000 feet in western North America and numerous European localities. Along the eastern borders of the Rocky Mountains these deposits may be observed in the uptilted foothills. (690.1) 60:3.10 All over the world these strata are permeated with chalk, and these layers of porous semirock pick up water at upturned outcrops and convey it downward to furnish the water supply of much of the earth’s present arid regions. (690.2) 60:3.11 80,000,000 years ago great disturbances occurred in the earth’s crust. The western advance of the continental drift was coming to a standstill, and the enormous energy of the sluggish momentum of the hinter continental mass upcrumpled the Pacific shore line of both North and South America and initiated profound repercussional changes along the Pacific shores of Asia. This circumpacific land elevation, which culminated in present-day mountain ranges, is more than twenty-five thousand miles long. And the upheavals attendant upon its birth were the greatest surface distortions to take place since life appeared on Urantia. The lava flows, both above and below ground, were extensive and widespread. (690.3) 60:3.12 75,000,000 years ago marks the end of the continental drift. From Alaska to Cape Horn the long Pacific coast mountain ranges were completed, but there were as yet few peaks. (690.4) 60:3.13 The backthrust of the halted continental drift continued the elevation of the western plains of North America, while in the east the worn-down Appalachian Mountains of the Atlantic coast region were projected straight up, with little or no tilting. (690.5) 60:3.14 70,000,000 years ago the crustal distortions connected with the maximum elevation of the Rocky Mountain region took place. A large segment of rock was overthrust fifteen miles at the surface in British Columbia; here the Cambrian rocks are obliquely thrust out over the Cretaceous layers. On the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, near the Canadian border, there was another spectacular overthrust; here may be found the prelife stone layers shoved out over the then recent Cretaceous deposits. (690.6) 60:3.15 This was an age of volcanic activity all over the world, giving rise to numerous small isolated volcanic cones. Submarine volcanoes broke out in the submerged Himalayan region. Much of the rest of Asia, including Siberia, was also still under water. (690.7) 60:3.16 65,000,000 years ago there occurred one of the greatest lava flows of all time. The deposition layers of these and preceding lava flows are to be found all over the Americas, North and South Africa, Australia, and parts of Europe. (690.8) 60:3.17 The land animals were little changed, but because of greater continental emergence, especially in North America, they rapidly multiplied. North America was the great field of the land-animal evolution of these times, most of Europe being under water. (690.9) 60:3.18 The climate was still warm and uniform. The arctic regions were enjoying weather much like that of the present climate in central and southern North America. (690.10) 60:3.19 Great plant-life evolution was taking place. Among the land plants the angiosperms predominated, and many present-day trees first appeared, including beech, birch, oak, walnut, sycamore, maple, and modern palms. Fruits, grasses, and cereals were abundant, and these seed-bearing grasses and trees were to the plant world what the ancestors of man were to the animal world — they were second in evolutionary importance only to the appearance of man himself. Suddenly and without previous gradation, the great family of flowering plants mutated. And this new flora soon overspread the entire world. (691.1) 60:3.20 60,000,000 years ago, though the land reptiles were on the decline, the dinosaurs continued as monarchs of the land, the lead now being taken by the more agile and active types of the smaller leaping kangaroo varieties of the carnivorous dinosaurs. But sometime previously there had appeared new types of the herbivorous dinosaurs, whose rapid increase was due to the appearance of the grass family of land plants. One of these new grass-eating dinosaurs was a true quadruped having two horns and a capelike shoulder flange. The land type of turtle, twenty feet across, appeared as did also the modern crocodile and true snakes of the modern type. Great changes were also occurring among the fishes and other forms of marine life.* (691.2) 60:3.21 The wading and swimming prebirds of earlier ages had not been a success in the air, nor had the flying dinosaurs. They were a short-lived species, soon becoming extinct. They, too, were subject to the dinosaur doom, destruction, because of having too little brain substance in comparison with body size. This second attempt to produce animals that could navigate the atmosphere failed, as did the abortive attempt to produce mammals during this and a preceding age. (691.3) 60:3.22 55,000,000 years ago the evolutionary march was marked by the sudden appearance of the first of the true birds, a small pigeonlike creature which was the ancestor of all bird life. This was the third type of flying creature to appear on earth, and it sprang directly from the reptilian group, not from the contemporary flying dinosaurs nor from the earlier types of toothed land birds. And so this becomes known as the age of birds as well as the declining age of reptiles. 4. The End of the Chalk Period (691.4) 60:4.1 The great Cretaceous period was drawing to a close, and its termination marks the end of the great sea invasions of the continents. Particularly is this true of North America, where there had been just twenty-four great inundations. And though there were subsequent minor submergences, none of these can be compared with the extensive and lengthy marine invasions of this and previous ages. These alternate periods of land and sea dominance have occurred in million-year cycles. There has been an agelong rhythm associated with this rise and fall of ocean floor and continental land levels. And these same rhythmical crustal movements will continue from this time on throughout the earth’s history but with diminishing frequency and extent. (691.5) 60:4.2 This period also witnesses the end of the continental drift and the building of the modern mountains of Urantia. But the pressure of the continental masses and the thwarted momentum of their agelong drift are not the exclusive influences in mountain building. The chief and underlying factor in determining the location of a mountain range is the pre-existent lowland, or trough, which has become filled up with the comparatively lighter deposits of the land erosion and marine drifts of the preceding ages. These lighter areas of land are sometimes 15,000 to 20,000 feet thick; therefore, when the crust is subjected to pressure from any cause, these lighter areas are the first to crumple up, fold, and rise upward to afford compensatory adjustment for the contending and conflicting forces and pressures at work in the earth’s crust or underneath the crust. Sometimes these upthrusts of land occur without folding. But in connection with the rise of the Rocky Mountains, great folding and tilting occurred, coupled with enormous overthrusts of the various layers, both underground and at the surface. (692.1) 60:4.3 The oldest mountains of the world are located in Asia, Greenland, and northern Europe among those of the older east-west systems. The mid-age mountains are in the circumpacific group and in the second European east-west system, which was born at about the same time. This gigantic uprising is almost ten thousand miles long, extending from Europe over into the West Indies land elevations. The youngest mountains are in the Rocky Mountain system, where, for ages, land elevations had occurred only to be successively covered by the sea, though some of the higher lands remained as islands. Subsequent to the formation of the mid-age mountains, a real mountain highland was elevated which was destined, subsequently, to be carved into the present Rocky Mountains by the combined artistry of nature’s elements. (692.2) 60:4.4 The present North American Rocky Mountain region is not the original elevation of land; that elevation had been long since leveled by erosion and then re-elevated. The present front range of mountains is what is left of the remains of the original range which was re-elevated. Pikes Peak and Longs Peak are outstanding examples of this mountain activity, extending over two or more generations of mountain lives. These two peaks held their heads above water during several of the preceding inundations. (692.3) 60:4.5 Biologically as well as geologically this was an eventful and active age on land and under water. Sea urchins increased while corals and crinoids decreased. The ammonites, of preponderant influence during a previous age, also rapidly declined. On land the fern forests were largely replaced by pine and other modern trees, including the gigantic redwoods. By the end of this period, while the placental mammal has not yet evolved, the biologic stage is fully set for the appearance, in a subsequent age, of the early ancestors of the future mammalian types. (692.4) 60:4.6 And thus ends a long era of world evolution, extending from the early appearance of land life down to the more recent times of the immediate ancestors of the human species and its collateral branches. This, the Cretaceous age, covers fifty million years and brings to a close the premammalian era of land life, which extends over a period of one hundred million years and is known as the Mesozoic.
