  • great video i need to know for school this helps

  • @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.

  • coooooooolllllllllllll

  • Yes, a loving God punishes...
