Rings appear only around large planets and yet we recently discovered a ring around an asteroid or dwarf planet.  Why?   They last longer around large planets and they are more frequent the smaller the planet.   So we have two different causes and they are linear in that length of time a ring exists is proportional to the size of the planet and the frequency of rings is inversely proportional to the size of the planet.  We are talking about two different things at least the causes are different and each can be graphed as a line.  If you superimpose the two lines you will have a point at which the two lines cross and at that point is probably where the size of the planet is roughly similar to earth or the average rocky planet in our solar system.  Since one goes down and the other goes up the point where they cross will be where the planets with the least rings are likely to appear.

Wildcards

According to Jesus a person "Born of the Spirit" is a wildcard.  No one knows where he comes from or where he is going.      I often feel my life has jumped the rails.  Whatever my purpose in life is I must have gotten off track somewhere and I'm no longer anywhere near where I was supposed to be but then on the other hand maybe that's the whole point.   Maybe Jumping the rails is a greater purpose than fulfilling your purpose in life. I base this on the verse: "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8.

Walking Dead Beth's **SPOILER**.

I realize now that Beth's death was Deus Ex Machina.   It was just pure bad luck.  At least it's usually the cavalry coming to save the day so at least you can be happy about it.  But in this case they rescued Beth and she was safe and sound and then she pointlessly dies for no reason.   People doing dumb things in the name of horror isn't going to convince anyone that the post apocalypse is dangerous.  Bad luck tragedy is just as annoying as good luck coming to the rescue.   If the viewer is sitting there saying "Why don't they just leave? She hasn't even drawn on them."    I tried watching another episode and it just solidified in my head that it's pointless to go on watching.   They have nothing else to accomplish except to make more dumb mistakes till they are all dead.    I think the problem is that none of the writers expected Beth to take on a life of her own.  She was never meant to be a pa...

Possible Explanation for Bigfoot

In ancient times there were giants in the earth.  These were before the flood and also after.   Perhaps they still live but in remote areas.   There are stories about how the Native Americans were familiar with giant men with red hair which would explain where stories originated.  But if these men live in the north then it's likely that they are wearing clothes.  They can't just take clothes from normal people or purchase them but what they can do however is to make skins.  They could then appear to be the Sasquatch since the skins from a distance would make them look furry like an animal.   Being human they could come up with more elaborate ways of staying hidden.   They would have less trouble hunting animals and living off the land.     The Canadian bush has a very stable climate  so there should be enough food in the wilderness so that they wouldn't have to grow crops.   They might be somewhat ...
