Ham vs Nye


I strongly believe in Creation and not macro evolution; and, while I don’t hold the same views as Ken Ham, for those that haven’t had the chance to see the Ken Ham and Bill Nye debate I recommend you try to catch a showing of it. I had already read a few comments on it when I finally had a chance to it on C-SPAN. The debate was to be the evolutionist view versus the creationist view. Many in the evolutionist’s camp were strongly against such a public debate and the reason for this worry was obvious during the debate. Nye repeatedly, in almost every session, had to resort to personal attacks on Ken Ham instead of focusing on the interpretation of the scientific evidence. Nye even made several errors concerning the scientific evidence - no matter who is doing the interpretation.
The science community was right to worry. Consider the following quote:
“The debate with Nye ‘has drawn countless believers and unbelievers alike to consider the Creation Museum’s teachings about the true history of the universe,’ wrote an AIG staffer after the debate.
For mainstream scientists, it's a terrifying thought.”
                              (For the article cited click here.)
Nye did okay as “Bill Nye the Science Guy” in his PBS show for kids. He should have stuck with trying to teach kids, his abilities in the arena of science to educate beyond the grade school level are sorely lacking. Even those that despise creationism admit this and claim the debate was a nightmare for science (click here) - though they blame it on politics not the interpretation of evidence.
I wonder how long it will be until an evolutionist tries a public debate again - if they ever do!

Are you fighting or just watching?


THE MAN IN THE ARENA
   Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship in a Republic"
delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -- Theodore Roosevelt

Jesus told us we must carry our own cross and that His followers would suffer. Are you in the arena or just watching?

LGBT attacks!

I want to offer my apologies to my readers. It’s been a few weeks since I posted. With the recent events in the news I decided to head out to the desert for a bit and ponder some things. I try to keep my articles nonpolitical; but, as a Black Robe Regiment member I do express political concerns in the “Thought for the Week".
As if the rapid increase in the persecution of believers worldwide wasn’t bad enough, the rapid increase of the successes of the homosexual agenda is more troubling. Cowardice is running rampant. The Catholics have decided to “recognize” homosexual civil unions and the Governor of Arizona showed her cowardice by backing down and destroying the Constitutional right to the free exercise of religion for us Arizonans. If Clinton was the first “black” president then Obama is the first homosexual president.
          The US of A is no longer a superpower nor does it deserve to be. As citizens of the US the homosexuals have a right to their own sexual perversions - they do not have the right to trample my Constitutional right to the free exercise of my religion! Obama, Ag Holder, the AZ Governor , and many more are cowards and not worthy to represent any Americans. They have all violated their oaths.
          I truly thank YHWH that the Catholic Church does not have the power it once held. Both the US of A and the Catholic Church are antichrists. The Catholic Church always has been, the US of A has become one.
          The homosexual crowd has gotten so powerful that even the World Bank and the UN are blackmailing countries that do not support that agenda.
          I used to fear for our children’s future ability to openly worship YHWH. Satan has been quicker than that - I now fear for our ability to openly teach our children to worship YHWH!
The one who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
(Revelation 22:20)
          As a worshipper of our God and Creator YHWH, and a servant of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, I pray that YHWH will send His Son again soon . . .  very soon . . .
