i read that in the 2004 tsunami, many elephants escaped to safety because they sensed the tsunami coming.

@iamismehellyeah Indeed nature is God, but God includes nature, and beyond other dimensions, where the laws of physics are different

They are focusing on infrasounds, low frequency sounds, from another elephant herd

@hobatu Rubbish. If god created the world then it could have created it without this capacity for disaster. Nice try.

emm... all this shows is that elefants have evolved to use the feat as an extra pair of ears.....

@hobatu That's the dumbest argument for the lack of a god I've ever heard. God created physics, so without a doubt he could stop things from happening or intervene.
