Diver Anatoly Beloshchin shot this footage in an underwater cavern at Cenote Angelita, Mexico. The illusion of a river is most commonly attributed to a layer of hydrogen sulfide.
As a side note, it's not unheard of for lake bottoms to trap gasses and such that bubble up from below the ground. Rather than bubble its way up to the surface, the gas kept at the bottom through the sheer downward pressure exerted by the water.
Sadly, when that environment is somehow disturbed, the trapped gasses have been known to rush up to the surface in an enormous, invisible cloud of death. Any nearby inhabitants unlucky enough to be at ground level are killed instantly.
The effect is similar to the "choke damp" or "blackdamp" phenomenon experienced by miners, who unknowingly walked into these invisible gas clouds only to die instantly.
"Christians believe that when Adam and Eve sinned in Eden and turned away from God they brought sin into the world and turned the whole human race away from God. The doctrine absolves God of responsibility for the evils that make our world imperfect by teaching that Adam and Eve introduced evil to a perfect world when they disobeyed him. An alternative understanding of the story of the fall emphasizes that Adam and Eve did wrong because they 'gave in' to the temptation of the serpent in the Garden of Eden."
@ ted Not quite sure what you mean but let me explain what I was thinking:
In the Adam and Eve story the snake represents evil. The snake tempts Adam and Eve with fruit from the three of knowledge. By giving in to temptation of the snake Adam and Eve brought sin into the world.
In the modern day version the bank is the snake, as represented by the snake hiding in the bank. The snake (bank) temps us with money. By giving in to the temptation of the snake (bank) we bring evil into the world.
That is all. I thought it was quite fitting. Banks ARE evil after all. ;)

I probably sucked the fun out of this video!

Well said.
