Of all the most heinous and revered crimes fathomable, it would seem that cannibalism is very near the top of the pile. The act of orally consuming a member of one’s own species, cannibalism is a concept most un-orthodox with human beings. While many of the creatures with which we share this Earth see little problem in eating a friend, associate or family member, if not purely in the name of survival, we humans hold a prolonged and immovable dissatisfaction with the idea. Well, for the most part. Throughout history both ancient and contemporary there have been several cases involving human cannibalism, usually alongside murder, which I suppose is unsurprising. Aside from myths of cannibalistic indigenous tribes of the Pacific and the Amazon, there are a string of recorded cannibalistic acts, and their prime culprits, which we may draw upon in order to compose this list. Each one selected possesses a back story which I feel to be worthy of noting, though I’ll be first to admit that they all kinda do end in the same way…

Myth: Diamonds are formed from coal.

According to evolutionists and geologists, diamonds were formed about 1–3 billion years ago, that’s way earlier than any known record of even the Earth’s first land plants let alone coal. Coal, known as a fossil fuel is formed from the dead remains of vegetation like trees, ferns and other plants and life. The formation of coal takes millions of years and can be traced back to 300 to 400 million years ago, but not a billion years. So, how again are diamonds supposed to have formed from coal that didn’t even exist then? They didn’t.
