Welcome back to another week's installment of The K-Files. The 'Files have been a bit sporadic as of late on account of illness (both mine and those near me) and a hectic work load. But fear not, for you are mere seconds away from another helping of esoteric commentary.

This week, the Top Story covers that infamous Texas professor's view on overpopulation. Next, I present to you more scientists trying to disprove the Bible for no reason. Finally, I've got an article detailing the recent brightening of the sun.

:: Top Story ::

Ok, but you need to start us off. Professor criticized over comments about overpopulation Copyright 2006 Associated Press  A Texas biology professor's concern that there are too many humans on the planet has at least one critic calling for a downsizing -- starting with him. Eric Pianka says the Earth would be better off if there were fewer people using up natural resources and destroying habitats.  The University of Texas professor has been in the crosshairs of talk radio and blogs after a Texas newspaper reported Sunday on two speeches he made last month to scientists and students. The report suggested that he advocates death for most of the human population, but Pianka says his words were taken out of context. Well, just about every other blogger out there has had their way with this now infamous biology professor, but now its Khyron’s turn.  For that unfortunate and uninformed group that doesn’t follow the shenanigans of Coast to Coast AM, this concept of genocide to prevent overpopulation must seem like a big deal. However, as presented by government watchdogs like Alex Jones, the ultimate goal of the NWO shadow government is to bring down the Earth’s population by 90%.  It’s a troubling concept to be sure, so I’ve been wondering why this Texas professor would go out and say such things publicly. I think that this whole mess about blogs and radio personalities criticizing the man and labeling him as some kind of inhuman monster is far too over exaggerated, but could this be a case of hidden desensitization by the NWO?   Yeah, probably not. More like some college professor saying something shocking to get some attention. But all I have to say on the subject is that people come first. Overpopulation and the division of resources is a problem, but when we start deciding who is and isn’t deserving of life, we walk a slippery slope indeed.

Give it a rest. Jesus may have walked on ice, not water Copyright 2006 by United Press International  Florida State University scientists say its more likely Jesus walked on a patch of floating ice than on water, as described in the New Testament.  Oceanography Professor Doron Nof says his research points to a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions for development of a unique, localized freezing phenomenon that Nof and his co-authors call "springs ice."  So what’s the deal with scientists trying to prove the Bible fake? Seriously. Is there nothing better for oceanographers to do than come up with elaborate explanations for ancient miracles?  It's just like with the parting of the Red Sea. A couple years back a bunch of scientists came out saying something about how the tides and winds and some other such combination of natural effects could have caused the sea to be shallow enough to cross. Now there’s this ‘explanation’ about how Jesus was able to walk on water.  Now, call me a bit cynical, but doesn’t “a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions for development of a unique, localized freezing phenomenon” sound just as far-fetched?  Give it a rest, guys. I don’t think you’re going to be changing anyone’s minds anytime soon.
