One of the reasons an atheist might cite for why they don’t believe in God, or at the very least a “loving God,” is the huge number of noxious species of microbial, plant, and animal life on this planet. There are so many that it is practically impossible to catalog them all, and new ones are being discovered on literally a DAILY basis. Scientists estimate the average somewhere between 40-55 new species are discovered each day. Certainly, a percentage of those could be labeled “noxious,” in that they are harmful to humans in some way, either directly or indirectly, through attacking another plant or animal species that is beneficial to humans. Of the 40-55 new species discovered each day, what rough percentage are truly NEW-to-Earth species that have been introduced just in the last decade? How big is this problem, and how long has it been going on? What can Creator tell us?

The National Park Service website nps.gov had this to say about the American Chestnut Tree: “By the 1940s the blight had killed an estimated four billion American chestnut trees nationwide. Where before about a third of all trees in the Smoky Mountains were chestnuts, today even single spindly saplings are rare.” The chestnut blight fungus was supposedly introduced from Asia accidently. To give people an idea of just how tragic this massive loss was, here is a brief description found on forestpathology.org of the value of the chestnut tree: “If you could custom design the ideal tree species, you couldn’t come up with a better one than American chestnut. It was a huge, majestic tree, with a very straight stem. The wood was nearly ideal. As George Hepting has written, ‘Not only was baby’s crib likely made of chestnut, but chances were, so was the old man’s coffin.’ One of its good qualities was high durability. The heartwood could be used in situations where decay was a hazard. The tree was common. It made up about 50% of most eastern hardwood forests. It grew fast and would regenerate itself by root sprouts vigorously. The nuts were edible, not only by wildlife but also by humans. It was an important food source for all. ‘The farmer’s hogs were fattened on chestnuts, and, to no small degree, his children were also.’ Chestnut was also prized as a landscape tree.” If indeed the blight did come from Asia, how long had it been in Asia, and what was its true origin? What can Creator tell us about the tragic loss of the American Chestnut?

The National Park Service website nps.gov had this to say about Zebra Mussels: “Zebra mussels are small, freshwater, bivalve shellfish that were likely brought to the U.S. as stowaways in the ballast water of ships. They are native to the Caspian and Black Seas south of Russia and Ukraine, and have since become widespread in both Europe and the U.S.” The zebra mussel is a problem because it is so prolific. Each female can release up to a million eggs a year. “Biofouling is [an ecological problem] … Zebra mussels will attach to native mussels much like they do docks, boats, and water and power plant intake pipes, and in large enough numbers can prevent the natives from moving, feeding, reproducing, or regulating water properly. The zebra mussels also outcompete the natives for food and space, and because of their fast reproduction can quickly overwhelm a water system. The feeding habits of zebra mussels can also have a drastic impact on an infested lake. Zebra mussels are filter feeders that siphon particles of plankton from the water. They are highly efficient at this, and a large population of mussels can quickly clear the water of almost all floating particles. This change can cause shifts in local food webs, both by robbing food from native species that feed on plankton and also by increasing water clarity and thus making it easier for visual predators to hunt.” The costs to control and clean up zebra mussel infestations is enormous. And the problem never goes away, it can only be managed. This species is so good at causing problems, it couldn’t have been a truly native creature in the Black Sea either. It seems tailor-made for another WORLD and doesn’t belong here at ALL. What is Creator’s perspective, and what kind of environment is a good fit for this creature?

There have been reports of egg prices soon going as high as twenty dollars a dozen in some locations. This is presumably due to a bird flu epidemic and a government policy of killing entire flocks of egg-laying hens, some numbering in the millions of birds. What is the true origin of bird flu, and is this drastic approach to its management and prevention called for in any way that could be considered rational? What is actually the bigger cause of the egg shortage, the invasive bird flu virus, or possible mind control manipulation surrounding its management? What can Creator tell us?

Whether a species is invasive or not might depend on a number of factors. The European hare is considered a native species of Europe and a valuable one at that. But the same species imported into Australia has been disastrous. Google has this to say about the problem: “Rabbits are a serious environmental and agricultural pest in Australia. They were introduced for sport hunting in the late 18th century, but their rapid reproduction rate led to millions of rabbits. Rabbits cost the Australian economy over $200 million per year. They compete with livestock for food, damage crops, and destabilize the land. Rabbits overgraze, which can lead to soil erosion, the collapse of indigenous plants, and the decline of native animals. They may have also caused the extinction of several small ground dwelling mammals. Rabbits threaten the survival of more than 300 Australian native species, including 24 critically endangered species.” Are these rabbits truly native to Earth, or are they an interloper-introduced invasive species? If native, then is this a wholly human-created problem, or were the humans who brought them to Australia for “sport” influenced to do that by the interlopers? What can Creator tell us?

It seems with the advent of modern civilization, global media, and global travel, that the opportunity for the interlopers to introduce large land-based mammalian and reptilian creatures, like lions and crocodiles, has effectively expired. Such an introduction today would draw too much attention and be too much of an anomaly. Not so with anything aquatic or small, as in small insects and even birds. Same with any kind of plant life. So while we’re not being overrun globally with new mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, we are being overrun with almost every other kind of invasive species. Creator has previously commented on the “Beast of Gévaudan,” a very large and very vicious species of wolf. Was this the last time the interlopers tried to seriously introduce such a creature, and did they conclude that the opportunity to do this further had passed? What can Creator tell us?

It’s becoming clear with multiple recent discoveries that nearly the entire region now covered with Amazon Rainforest was once a great Mayan Empire. Today that empire is literally covered with some of the most noxious and dangerous plant and animal life seen anywhere on the planet. There is so much variety in this region, that even today much of it remains uncatalogued and even undiscovered. But has it always been this way? Did the Mayan Empire truly have to compete with all these aggressive vegetation and dangerous critters? Or was it more temperate and gentle, and only became hostile due to the intervention of the interlopers? The indigenous tribes there are extremely xenophobic. Is that because they are direct descendants of the former destroyed Mayan Empire who escaped to the dangerous jungles just to survive, as they would have perished otherwise? What can Creator tell us?

Invasive Asian Carp is yet another problem affecting rivers in the United States. This fish is a prolific feeder, like the zebra mussel, and outcompetes native fish and aquatic life. It has the unusual behavior of leaping in vast numbers when the water is disturbed. Many people have been injured and even a few killed as a result. Where and why did this species acquire this unusual behavior? How long has it been here on Earth altogether—decades, centuries, or millennia? What can Creator tell us?

There is a problem of the companion animal run amok. Feral cats are actually a HUGE problem in many parts of the world today. Feral and domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Do the interlopers have any culpability for this? Or is this a wholly human-created problem? What can Creator tell us?

Creator has said previously that the invasive species problem is so large and pervasive that there won’t be an opportunity to meaningfully mitigate it before Ascension (or annihilation) will make it a moot point. Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset protocol, and Divine Life Support can ensure that humanity heals enough to Ascend in time and escape this problem and its consequences once and for all, and for all of time?
