This he tried to accomplish by sending fallen angels to marry the daughters of men (Gen. 6:1-4), thus producing the giant nations through them."

New Study Reveals an Alarming Contagion That Could Tear Apart the World's Food Supply

New Study Reveals an Alarming Contagion That Could Tear Apart the World's Food Supply - Mic: "The news: Pesticides are having a widespread effect on the world’s animals, and bees may only be the first victim.

The new study, published in Nature on Wednesday, finds that to be exactly the case. Rather than staying on plants, the toxin spreads throughout the food chain, potentially harming hundreds of other species along the line, from insects to the final feeders — us."
