There is a disaster that has more destructive potential than even the earth smashing meteorite… The creation of our species. Note: Calm down atheists. My statement is open ended so everyone can fill it with their own beliefs.

Hii awesome page ☺ Keep it up!
I can't tell whether the monkey walking through water at 4:52 really is funny or whether it's just because it's 5:30 and I haven't slept yet.
Where do you come from Maddie?
We have at least one species of pine whose seeds are stuck inside the pine cone until there is a fire. We used to find those pine cones and throw them in the camp fire while camping because the seeds sometimes explode out of the cone and it's kind of cool. Then there are other plants whose seeds won't sprout unless you water them with smoke water, which is basically what happens naturally during the first rain after a fire. In the lab, we bubbled smoke from a fire through the water using some chemistry flasks, but the same effect happens in the wild as the rain water passes through the charred ground. We tried to sprout those seeds without the smoke water and nothing else we did to them to convince them to sprout actually worked.
Very well made and interesting video! Thanks! 🙂
Usually enjoy Maddies videos but gave up after two and a half minutes of this one, the "music" was driving me nuts.
Great overview. The music added nothing–in fact, it was a distraction. It's okay to go without music.
