| Post Info | TOPIC: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami |
| Posted By: The Last Random Hero Posted On: Dec 30, 2004 Views: 1349 | Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami I first read this article about the recent disastor in Asia in The Sun newspaper (ok not a great resource for information, but hey) which I think you may all find interesting. Saved By Sixth Sent THOUSANDS of animals are believed to have fled the tsunami - because they had a sixth sense it was coming. Giant waves washed floodwater two miles into Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve. Yet experts have found NO dead animals in the Yala National Park - home to hundreds of wild elephants. So far more than 22,000 people have been confirmed dead in Sri Lanka, including many tourists. Wildlife official HD Ratnayake said last night: "The strange thing is that we haven't recorded any dead animals. "There are no dead elephants - not even a dead hare or rabbit. "I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening." http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004602245,00.html Comments? |
| Posted By: rob Posted On: Dec 30, 2004 Views: 1348 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami YEP im very much into science BUT this thing with animals has always amazed me, there is definatley another sense thing going on when it comes to animals,but im not a vet and cant explain it..lol |
| Posted By: rob Posted On: Dec 30, 2004 Views: 1347 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami BUT then again thinking about it, if we came from the same swamp in the begining WHY do we not possess this sense. strange that. |
| Posted By: anonymous Posted On: Dec 30, 2004 Views: 1335 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami Very strange indeed. |
| Posted By: Placebo Posted On: Dec 30, 2004 Views: 1328 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami It is quite strange, but it might be something less impressive than ESP Hard to say really Eg. Pitcher plants close when rains come - its just another sense (ability to sense change in air) Greg |
| Posted By: common sense Posted On: Jan 1, 2005 Views: 1314 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami What has sensing to do with TK??? Sensing something like smell, noise, earth shaking, has NOTHING to do with TK: check the definition. I definitely believe there is no TK. |
| Posted By: Placebo Posted On: Jan 1, 2005 Views: 1305 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami Err.. none of us mentioned TK o.- Do you mean that it's off-topic for this forum? |
| Posted By: The Last Random Hero Posted On: Jan 2, 2005 Views: 1297 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami The article has nothing specifically to do with TK in it, but I thought it serves as a reminder to keep an open mind about these kinds of things. As yet, there's no scientific explanation as to what it is that the animals have or can do that helped them avoid the disaster, but obviously there is something. Rob you made a good point, if we all came from the same swamp as the animals how come we don't have the ability to sense an impending natural disaster? I think it's because we've evolved in such a way that intelligence outweighs our need for instinctive skills and we've really just become detached from nature. Of course we can only guess at this point, but there is some evidence that leans towards this. I can't remember the exact facts but I remember reading an article in The Times newspaper a while back about Dyslexia and how people who suffer from it struggle with reading, writing and maths but have better directional and navigational skills, and better spacial awareness than more 'intelligent' people. It was due to using different parts of the brain for the different things, and that through our evolution we've evolved to using our brain more for numeracy and literacy, but when we were more primitive we used the other part of the brain needed to be able to find our way around the 'wild'. Now we have roads, maps and sat-nav to do that for us. |
| Posted By: Pyrovus Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1291 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami They can't find any dead animals? That wouldn't have something to do with the fact that the people over there are too busy trying to deal with the damage caused by the the tsunami to be able to spare the manpower to look for dead animals in a 1300 sq km wildlife park? |
| Posted By: The Last Random Hero Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1285 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami Yea right, they haven't found any dead animals because they haven't looked in the right places yet. Moron. |
| Posted By: Rob Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1276 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami It could well be the fact that we have left behind our "nature" instincts, but evolution is about progress and anything we had before should be better now surley, i know we have much more technology now and things have become "lazy" and we no longer need certain things,but things like a natural fear in us should have become stronger, what do you think? |
| Posted By: The Last Random Hero Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1269 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami How about this: A ten year old saved 100 people from a beach, not by instinct but because in a geography lesson she'd learnt that before a tsunami launches a huge wave onto land it sucks the ocean/tide back into the sea. This girl saw this happen afer the earth quake and wouldn't stop screaming about it, eventually the beach was cleared and later the tsunami hit. Ok not the explanation you were looking for. But you think our survival instincts would have increased? I think no, why would they? Any stupid, fat person can drive to their local supermarket for food - they don't need to find food or hunt. Any stupid, fat person can call the police or fit alarms for security - they don't need to defend themselves or their families from death. The best example is for SOME of those in the third world, they cannot build civilisations of their own or survive the enviroments their natural home enviroment provides for them. They survive on donations from the western world. Survival as an instict still exists I'm sure (look at great boxers) but the need to evolve the survival instinct has slowed because of technology I'm sure of it. |
| Posted By: The Last Random Hero Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1268 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami Also about our 'natural fear' evolving, I just thought, what has nature got to threaten us with that we can't avoid or shoot or destroy? Nothing that happens with any regularity that I can think of. Oh wait the Tsunami? That only proves my point, look around at the evidence yourself before you believe what I'm about to repeat: Science knows why Tsunami's happen. Science can monitor earthquakes and predict Tsunami's. Through the funding and recognition of conventional science the lives of hundreds of thousands could have been saved - FACT. And yet no religion gave any warning to the impending doom. Not Jewish, not Christian, not Muslim, not even the occult. And yet conventional science could have saved so many lives. My local Church states that God is Love. Well if God is love then God is also hate. If God created us and the Earth then God created the Tsunami. So I ask, for God's sake why? |
| Posted By: Pyrovus Posted On: Jan 3, 2005 Views: 1261 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami Quote: "Yea right, they haven't found any dead animals because they haven't looked in the right places yet. Moron." I stand corrected. Clearly after a devastating natural disaster people's first instinct is to flock to a wildlife park to look for dead animals. How silly of me to assume that they would instead do such pointless things as trying to help injured people and clear the place up. Thankyou for opening my eyes. |
| Posted By: rob Posted On: Jan 4, 2005 Views: 1254 | RE: Sixth Sense Saves Animals From Tsunami To the last random, yep you have made some excellent points and i agree with you, i wasnt disagreeing with you just putting a couple thoughts into the question. |
