Not everyone leaves when warned.
Although most Indonesians are Muslim, many also follow animist beliefs and worship ancient spirits. Often at full moons, they trek to crater rims and throw in rice, jewelry and live animals to appease the volcanoes.Beliefs -- beautiful and sad.

Are you sad because they're throwing all that perfectly-good jewelry into the volcano?
Nobody seems to have noted that this would be one thousand years to the year since the Merapi eruption that ended the society that built Borobudur. That was in 1006. Inauspicious timing.

It's also just about right to the day of the overthrow of Indonesian strongman, Soeharto. India exploded its first nuclear bomb when that happened. Maybe something like it will happen every so often on this anniversary. We need an Indonesian soothesayer to tell us all the other coincidences!
'are peanuts the result of evolution or divine creation?'
Neither! Modern peanuts are the result of artificial selection by humans, while the proto-peanut was the result of a Martian bioweapon experiment gone awry.
