Verse of the Week
And
I gave my heart to seek and to investigate by wisdom concerning all which is
done under the heavens. It is
an evil task YHWH has given to the sons of men, to be afflicted by it.
(Ecclesiastes
1:13)
Thought for the Week
In
a manner of speaking today’s youth tend to have the Missourian attitude of
“show me”. Sadly though, few of them need more than the most superficial data
for “proof” of things that they have been preconditioned to accept - e.g. the
Theory of Evolution. This is because they are indoctrinated in school, from day
one, that science is based on fact only and religion is based on belief only. Just
as many previous generations of Americans held preconceived notions that have
been proven wrong, e.g. they could trust their Government, so too must this
generation of youth learn to overcome their preconceived notions.
Regarding
the evolution the debate is not what it first appears. Everyone agrees that
microevolution exists – it is observable, testable, and repeatable. It is scientifically
proven. Macroevolution is a different story. It is not observable, testable, or
repeatable. It is not scientifically proven, or even scientifically provable.
Even leading proponents of the Theory of Evolution admit this (See REF 1). The
debate primarily concerns a few select areas - evidence and/or the lack
thereof, interpretation of the evidence, and a person’s beliefs.
Remember
the youth are not a generation of technologically advanced persons. They are a
generation of persons with advanced technology. Many cannot even do basic math
without the aid of a machine. Few of them even realize the assumptions made by
the “science” they unknowingly worship. Again, a small area concerning
evolution can illustrate the point. Many scientists point at bacterial resistance
to modern antibiotics as proof of evolution. This makes many assumptions, only one
of which is that antibiotic resistance did not exist prior to modern manmade
antibiotics. Consider the following:
Scientists at the
University of Alberta have revived bacteria from members of the historic
Franklin expedition who mysteriously perished in the Arctic nearly 150 years
ago. “Not only are the six strains of bacteria almost certainly the oldest ever
revived, three of them also happen to be resistant to antibiotics. In this
case, the antibiotics clindamycin and cefoxitin, both of which were developed
more than a century after the men died, were among those used.
- Dr. Kinga Kowalewska-Grochowska,
medical microbiologist
The few pro evolution scientists that
have admitted resistance may have already existed are still try to imply
resistant bacteria is increasing due to evolution. Consider an analogical scenario:
Environmentalists claimed a locally
used unregulated pesticide was impacting elk antler growth in the Yellowstone
area. The EPA, always desirous of expanding its authority, agreed and in 2014 an
“independent” scientist was hired using government funding to study elk rack
size in the Yellowstone area. The scientist found an elk population of 100 elk,
half with large racks and half with small racks - a 1 to 1 ratio. In 2015 the
scientist again surveyed the Yellowstone area and found an elk population of
75, 25 large rack elk and 50 small rack elk - a 1 to 3 ratio. Hunters had
legally taken 25 large rack elk in the same area.
The scientist can now reveal the
truth and be out of a job or the scientist can use the ratio to imply the
pesticide is potentially causing a decrease in elk rack size which does not
exist and thus secure more government funding for further research and keep his
job.
At this point the people (the
environmentalists) have had their world view validated by the Government, the
Government has had their world view validated by science, and the science has
been validated by the esteem regaled upon the scientists by the Government and
the people. It is a self-perpetuating system that “creates fact out of
fiction”.
The US government requires that the
Theory of Evolution is taught in schools and bans alternate theories (Intelligent
Design, Creationism, etc). Where do you think the funding goes? - To support or
debunk evolution.
Some people, no matter what, will always refuse to believe in a
Creator. They serve Satan best that deny he exists. Listen closely to most
youths and you will be able to tell where they stand, and more importantly,
why. Do not waste time on ones that are too close minded to even discuss the
available data. If they attempt to support their belief, and it is just that, a
belief, then there is always a chance to save them. Remember most have been
brainwashed since birth so use logic as well as love or you may lose a golden
opportunity.
REF 1:
It is absurd and absolutely
preposterous to believe that a living cell could come into existence by itself;
but, notwithstanding, I do believe it, because I cannot imagine anything else. - Ernest Kahane, French molecular
biologist
Evolution is unproven and unprovable.
We believe it, however, because the only alternative is an act of creation by a
God, and that is unthinkable. - Sir Arthur Keith
One has only to contemplate the
magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living
organism is impossible. Yet we are here—as a result, I believe, of spontaneous
generation. - George
Wald, Nobel Laureate
Concerning the origin of life itself,
the watershed between chemistry and biology, the transition between lifeless
chemical activity and organized biological metabolism, there is no direct
evidence at all. The crucial transition from disorder to order left behind no
observable traces. -
Freeman Dyson, theoretical physicist, mathematician, and member of the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences
Quote of the Week
One
of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we’ve developed to a very
high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings
stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they
believe in anything. - Malcolm Muggeridge
Comment: Science
is not the enemy of faith. In fact, most of the hotly contested scientific
theories require an extraordinary amount of faith (as evidenced by the
assumptions made). YHWH created all things. We should approach science the way
many of the greatest minds in science have - as a means to understand His
Creation - rather than as a means to replace Him.
Did You Know
Humans are the
only known animal that can cry emotional tears.
The human retina
can automatically and instantly change its sensitivity to brightness over a
range of ten billion to one - without us thinking about it.
Evolutionary theory is based on
random errors (mutations) in the DNA; but, the timeframes typically cited do
not allow for non-beneficial mutations. Yet current science says over 80% of
human “mutations” are not beneficial (studies indicate that up to 10% of new mutations are
harmful, most mutations make no difference, and beneficial mutations are
virtually unknown). Also, these
timeframes do not include the time needed for the placing of the human body’s 60
trillion cells (& 200 different types) together in the right places - i.e.
so that they make the right organs - which all have to interact. NOTE: The most recent “beneficial”
mutation I was able to locate information on is lactose tolerance in adults -
10,000 years ago!
The
law of the conservation of energy together with Einstein’s equivalence of
matter and energy, E = mc2, states that the sum total of all energy
and all matter in our universe is constant, unchanging, and unchangeable. There is no scientific explanation for the
origin of matter and energy, and it is therefore necessary to assume that all the energy must have
existed before the supposed Big Bang.
NOTE:
The Abridged New Testament (without the writings of Paul but with the OGM, the Didache,
& Study Guides) is entering the final edit phase. So I just started on my
next project: A How-to Manual for a Christian Underground (covering covert and
clandestine operations, strategy & tactics, structure & form,
communication, OPSEC, tradecraft, CI/FID methods/tactics, and more.
