Before Noah’s flood, life was so different than it is now.
Genesis 1:20 makes this clear when it states that the birds will fly above the earth and over the face of the firmament. Therefore, at the original Creation, a water canopy in the stratosphere, above the sky (the firmament) was in place. After Noah’s Flood this water canopy in the stratosphere was removed, and the water became part of the waters from the Flood of Noah, this occurred approximately 4,400 years ago. The water canopy in the stratosphere is therefore no longer present.
Why is this important? It’s important for us to understand the changes in the earth’s atmosphere before the flood and after the flood. Because, as you see, these changes affected life on earth in a way that has profoundly changed the history of the planet including how life on earth evolves and survives.
The Greenhouse Effect
The water layer in the stratosphere was very dissimilar in comparison to what it is today. The temperature was probably much warmer also it had no variation of temperature over the entire planet. It created a “green house” over the entire earth. Because of the greenhouse effect from the vapor canopy in the stratosphere being in place, earth was a tropical paradise.
Perhaps, this explains why the discovery of Mammoths preserved in the permafrost in Siberia had tropical vegetation in their stomachs. Earth was, if you will, a greenhouse, a tropical paradise beyond anything we could ever imagine.
Before the flood there would have been a richer concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the stratosphere. The water canopy in the stratosphere would have drastically increased the pressure of gases on Gaia, causing a 50% higher concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This evidence is supported by experiments preformed on fossilize tree sap known as amber.
The Greenhouse Effect on Humans
Because of the higher oxygen levels in the stratosphere, there would be higher blood oxygen levels in life on earth. The higher blood oxygen levels at that time would have contributed to extreme longevity. There would be resistance to bacterial and viral diseases. One would have greater metabolic efficiency, which would consequently greatly enhance physical ability.
Before the flood the average lifespan was 912 years. Today the average lifespan is between 71 years and 83 years of age. This is a large contrast in life expectancy on the planet before the flood and also including afterwards. We are dying as infants in comparison to our predecessors.
As our atmosphere changed, the face of the earth began to change. With the formation of the oceans plus the seas, carbon dioxide dissolved to form soluble carbonate compounds and when this happened the amount in the atmosphere was decreased. Carbon dioxide was also absorbed from the oceans together with the seas into photosynthetic algae and plants.
What we have to remember is that earth’s atmosphere has gone through a number of changes with temperature along with composition in the last 4.5 billion years. About 3 or 4 billion years ago, a bacteria-like life form discovered photosynthesis and began to give off oxygen as a poisonous waste. Everything living at that time was poisoned causing death all over the planet. This photosynthetic prokaryotic organism that emitted O2 as a waste was a precursor to what we now call blue-green alga. After more than a billion years of these bacteria-like things making oxygen, a life form evolved that was able to breath it. Soon after this evolution, mankind arrived.
Our connection to Earth
Mankind has lost touch with our Mother-Who-Nurishes-Us. We no longer hear her song as she quietly hums to us. Humans no longer feel her heartbeat because we have lost touch with her energy. Lost is the connection of oneness you and I once had with Mother Earth. As one has isolated themselves inside concrete buildings, lost altogether is the attachment to Mother’s healing energy.
This conversation will continue in another installment. We will learn more how our health is affected by Earth’s song and vibrational energy.
