Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

Walgreens, the nation’s largest drugstore chain, is no longer a part of Express Scripts’ pharmacy provider network. This is because the contract between Walgreens and Express Script has expired last December 31. Express Scripts’ decision not to renew its contract with Walgreens has upset thousands of customers. The new Express Scripts program does not allow their customers to have their prescription filled at any of Walgreens branch. They are now forced to either change pharmacist or go to a far away pharmacy just to buy their medications. Military personnel, retirees and their families, who are under the Tricare program of Express Scripts, have started signing a petition to demand access to Walgreens whenever they are in need of pharmacy services. In their continuing effort to help their customers, Walgreens Prescription Savings Club has been launched. A $10 family membership makes one eligible to avail of various benefits including discounts and savings on every purchase of medications and specific medical supplies. Bonuses are also given to members who purchase Walgreens brand products. You can learn more of the benefits that Prescription Savings Club offers to its members when you follow Walgreens on Twitter and when you like the Walgreens on Facebook page.

An Evolutionist Debate

2010-11-06T01:35:00.000-06:00

At least one Evolutionist can admit that transitional fossils are rare even thought lately, the Evolutionist make it them seem so common with their Ida and Ardi fossils.

The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils. (Gould)

Though later he changed his mind and said that they are one of the best evidence for the theory of Evolution.

Described recently as "the most important evolutionary event during the entire history of the Metazoa," the Cambrian explosion established virtually all the major animal body forms -- Bauplane or phyla -- that would exist thereafter, including many that were 'weeded out' and became extinct. Compared with the 30 or so extant phyla, some people estimate that the Cambrian explosion may have generated as many as 100. The evolutionary innovation of the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary had clearly been extremely broad: "unprecedented and unsurpassed," as James Valentine of the University of California, Santa Barbara, recently put it. (Lewin)

The gaps in the fossil record are real, however. The absence of a record of any important branching is quite phenomenal. Species are usually static, or nearly so, for long periods, species seldom and genera never show evolution into new species or genera but replacement of one by another, and change is more or less abrupt. (Wesson)

Radiometric Dating Part 4

2010-10-27T21:11:00.000-05:00

There is a common misunderstanding that radiometric dating systems have confirmed the age of the earth. Nothing could be further from the truth. Radiometric dating systems are purported to give ages in the billions of years for the earth’s primary rocks. However, these methods are entirely unreliable giving errors of magnitude. The New Encyclopedia Britannica states that the picture for radiometric accuracy is “gloomy”. Rare attempts to apply multiple radiometric dating methods where mother and daughter elements are both present to rocks from the same stratum “almost always” give disparate dates.

“The uranium-thorium to helium-lead” methods of radiometric dating have been “pushed into the background” due to the “limited applicability and questionable reliability” of these methods. The decomposition of potassium-40 into two daughter elements: argon-40 and calcium-40 is equally fraught with problems.

Among potential wrong assumptions in establishing a date for a rock sample is the original presence of daughter elements. For example calcium-40, a daughter element of potassium-40 decomposition, is abundantly available in the earth’s surface. Only a fraction of this element can be attributed to the decomposition of potassium-40. Therefore, the presence of calcium-40 cannot be used to demonstrate the age of anything.

A second false assumption is that the decomposition processes have remained constant over billions of years. We have not even scientifically observed these processes with any accuracy for 50 years. How can we extrapolate that things have not changed over hundreds of millions or billions of years when we know that stasis of the environment cannot be true? There are many potential variables and conditions that may prove to accelerate or decelerate the nuclear decay processes.

A third problem is that contamination of rock samples is unavoidable. There are many ways that mother, or daughter elements can be falsely introduced or leaked away. Potassium, for example, is water soluble and very reactive. What is to prevent it from being leached out, or being washed into a sample? Besides calcium-40, the other daughter element in the potassium-40 decomposition process, is argon-40. This is the daughter element normally used for dating purposes. Argon is a gas that can easily escape into the atmosphere! If argon escapes into the air, then how will dates based upon its absence or presence be reliable? These and other sources of error make these radiometric systems entirely useless in the study of the age of the earth.

(These notes and quotes were extracted from The New Encyclopædia Britannica,

Chicago, 1989, vol. 19, macropædia section on Geochronology pp. 785-789)

Besides the theoretical problems, actual measurements usually give anomalous dates for rock samples. This phenomenon is well documented. In one example volcanic rocks, known to have formed in the last 200 years, gave the bizarre age of 3,000,000 years. Clearly radiometric dating methods are useless as instruments to estimate the age of the earth.

On the other hand there are evidences that certain radiometric processes would indicate a young age for the earth. For example, helium isotopes are a by-product of uranium and other natural radioactive decay. Assuming that 100% of the helium in the earth’s atmosphere is the by-product of radioactive decay, and assuming current rates, then the earth’s atmosphere can be no more than 40,000 years old.

Unlike other radiometric dating systems, carbon fourteen (14C ) dating has a demonstrated validity, but only for relatively recent events. The most optimistic of scientists would not extrapolate 14C dating validity beyond 40,000 years. It is highly accurate for several thousand years. The older the dates, the less their reliability. The same kinds of questions posed for the other radiometric dating systems apply here. What was the ratio of mother to daughter elements in the beginning? Have conditions remained constant? Has contamination occurred? Due to evolutionary bias about the age of the earth, 14C dating is not normally applied to date strata where other radiometric methods might be considered. However, it would be interesting to apply radiocarbon dating to coal and oil deposits, or to the dinosaur tissue recently discovered in China (see next post).

Evolutionary Fraud Part 3

2010-10-23T21:27:00.000-05:00

In my Part 2 post, one evolutionist said that Creationist are always changing their data, but that Evolutionist have never presented lies. The above article is about the Coelocanth which was theorized to be a "walking fish", and the ancestor of land vertebrates. However, it seems to be just a fish with an extra pair of fins. It is a bottom feeder like the catfish. This is just one example of the misrepresentation of the evolutionary facts.

Lets discuss other evolutionary frauds.

Nebraska Man: Developed from a single tooth.

Java Man: Only a skullcap, three teeth and a femur was found. The femur was found 50 feet away.

Orce man: One year later after it was found, officials said the skull most likely came from a 4 month old donkey.

Neanderthal: recognized to be just as human as us.

Lucy:
Lucy is a Fabrication of disarticulated & geographically separated bones of more than 30 individual skeletons, most of which may not be hominids at all.

You also might want to read about the Yale DNA Hybridization scandal.

The only thing the evolutionist in my prior post would say is how much he studied evolution, but the truth is, he was just brainwashed.

Do evolutionist even admit their fraud? Of course not! However, they keep pushing their Atheistic view point trying to deceive the masses with their false science.

This is only a small list however. The evolutionist are constantly misrepresenting the facts.

The Truth Behind the Jehovah's Witnesses

2010-10-16T22:11:00.000-05:00

This photograph is Charles Russell, the founder of the Jehovah's Witness church.

Here is a list of some of their doctrine that is contrary to the Bible.

1) They believe that only 144,000 will be resurrected to a heavenly life, but the rest will be dwelling on a paradise earth.
2) They do not believe in hell and interpret the story of the rich man and lazarus to be a parable, but not to be interpreted literally.
3) They do not believe in saluting the flag.
4) They do not believe in serving in the Military, however, I ran across some of them when I was in the Navy.
5) They are not interested in Political activity.
6) They do not celebrate holidays.
7) The JW's do not believe in blood transfusions:

“If you have reason to believe that a certain product contains blood or a blood fraction…if the label says that certain tablets contain hemoglobin…this is from blood...a Christian knows, without asking, that he should avoid such a preparation. - The Watchtower 11/01/1961, p. 669

Is it wrong to sustain life by administering a transfusion of blood or plasma or red cells or others of the component parts of the blood? Yes!...the prohibition includes "any blood at all." - Blood, Medicine and the Law of God, 1961, pp. 13, 14

However, they have changed their policy:

Watchtower Blood policy in 2006:
"...when it comes to fractions of any of the primary components, each Christian, after careful and prayerful meditation, must conscientiously decide for himself."
The Watchtower 2000; June 15:29-31

8) They have made a number of false prophecies:

1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621.

1899 "...the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." The Time Is at Hand, page 101 (1908 edition).

1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented shows that the six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873." The Time Is at Hand, page ii, (forward).

1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89.

1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." The Watchtower 9/1/22, page 262.

1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower, page 106 4/1/23.

1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." The Watchtower, 1/1/25, page. 3.

1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work." The Watchtower, Sept, 1925 page 262.

1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." The Watchtower, page 232.

1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." Vindication, page 338.

1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." The Watchtower, 9/15/41, page 288.

1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The ‘end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?.. Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake, 10/8/68.

1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" The Watchtower, 8/15/68, page 494.

9) In Broolyn, Charles Russell sold bushels of a wester wheat that was alleged to have marvelous properties. The wheat sold for sixty dollars a bushel. He also endorsed a sale of a cancer cure, a compound of chloride of zinc.

The Bible says that anybody who makes a false prophecy should be stoned to death. This organization is another cult that you should be aware of. Don't let yourself be brainwashed if you are thinking of joining this church. If you are already a member, you should spend sometime on your own seeking the truth.

The Response about Ben Stein from Evolutionist

2010-09-26T21:32:00.000-05:00

Ben Stein came out with a documentary called, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed", where he demonstrated discrimination in science against the Creationist and Intelligent Design people.

Richard Dawkins and other evolutionist are saying that they were deceived hiding the fact that the film was about "Intelligent Design". Why do they care what the movie was about when the documentary didn't make them look like idiots, but their own words did.

Of course, all of the left-wing attacks are out in full force attacking the movie. However, I think Ben Stein did a great job in interviewing both sides of the argument. When I have watched shows on the History channel about the Bible, or Noah's flood, they have always shown only one side of the issue. One geologist on this program said, "There is no evidence for a world wide flood." Are they saying that they couldn't find one geologist that believes in Noah's flood? They definitely didn't look very hard if that is the case. That is the same thing that is going on with the theory of evolution. We are presented with one side and only one side.

The fact is that there are many scientist that do not believe in the evolutionary theory and if they question it, they are reprimanded for it.

One attack on the movie is by Catsoulis where she said, "One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry."

Why does she say that? It is because the documentary is telling the truth?

The fact is that Intelligent Design is a valid scientific theory. The evolutionist are quite scared of the creationist, and that is why so few of them would be willing to debate them.

Evolution or Creation (Young or Old Earth) Part 2

2010-09-16T22:45:00.000-05:00

The Age of the Earth: Thousands vs. Billions of Years
Prediction: The earth will be demonstrated to be billions of years old: If the earth is less than 3 billion years old, there would not be enough time for biological evolution to occur.	Prediction: The earth will be discovered to be relatively young (e.g. more than 6,000 years, but less than 100,000,000). (Note: Intelligent Design thinking does not require a young earth, but the Young Earth/Cataclysm model, by definition, does.)
Astrophysical Dating: Light from distant objects in the universe suggests 10,000,000,000 light years as a possible age (and consequent size) for the expansion of the known universe from the Big Bang. The same light suggests that some of these distant objects contain chemical elements such as carbon, iron and uranium requiring multiple billions of years under current theory for these elements to form in second-generation stars. Thus, these second generation galaxies would require more than 16,000,000,000 years to mature and allow the light to reach the earth. By that time, the sun would have burned out and gone cold. The reality is that no one really knows how big the universe is, or from what distance light might really come, or even whether the speed of light has always been constant. Today, most science textbooks state that the solar system including the earth is 4.6 billion years old. There is no evidence for this arbitrary age. The likely reason for science to propose this age is that it allows enough time for evolution to happen. As to the universe, the age printed in textbooks has doubled every twenty years over the last 140 years. In the late 1920’s it was estimated that the universe was only 2,000,000,000 years old. While at the time of Darwin half a billion years was accepted. Now, with the observations of the Hubble telescope, some are proposing 16,000,000,000 years or more. (Therefore 2 billion, plus or minus 14 billion years, or 16 billion plus or minus 14 billion!) These disparate ages indicate a lack of precision in the measuring processes. Coupling these disparities with contradictory measurements from other dating systems caused one well known Darwinian astronomer to state: “There is no evidence based solely on solar observations that the Sun is 4.5-5.0 x 109 years old. I suspect that the sun is 4.5 billion years old. However, given some new and unexpected results to the contrary, and some time for frantic recalculation and theoretical readjustment, I suspect that we could live with Bishop Ussher’s value for the age of the earth and sun. I don’t think we have much in the way of observational evidence in astronomy to conflict with that. Solar physics now looks to paleontology for data on solar chronology.” From a speech by John Eddy at an astronomy conference Quoted by Kazmann in Geotimes 1978. The theory that the sun is fueled by fusion, burning hydrogen into helium, has some experimental support. This allows for the possibility, but does not prove that the sun is billions of years old. Predictions stated that the sun would give off neutrinos as a by-product of the fusion process. The quantities of neutrinos measured on the earth coming from the sun, however, are fewer than predicted to produce the sun’s temperature. Another theory originally proposed by Sir Isaac Newton is that the sun is heated by friction through gravitational collapse. This theory, too, has experimental support since measurements over several hundred years have indicated a slow reduction in the diameter of the sun. Sir Isaac Newton’s theory has been discarded only because it does not allow for the sun to be billions of years old, thus making evolution impossible. One explanation for the missing neutrinos is that the sun is young and that its energy is produced from a combination of both nuclear fusion and heat caused by gravitational collapse. If heat from the sun is caused by a combination of these two processes, then the sun is not billions of years old. Besides the question about how long the sun has been burning, there are a number of other astrophysical phenomena, which give maximum ages for the universe and the solar system that are much lower then the often-quoted 4.6 billion years. Some examples: Spiral galaxy arms cannot continue to maintain form after billions of years. Spiral galaxies, therefore, appear to be too young for evolutionary timescales. Venus, Uranus & Pluto spin backwards. Gravity would not allow this to happen for billions of years. In the Solar System, at least 8 moons rotate backwards in a reverse spin from what would be predicted from the laws of physics. This reverse spin implies a designed, relatively young universe. There is no current naturalistic explanation for a reverse spin. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune each have moons orbiting in opposite directions. Physical laws cannot explain how reverse orbits originated, nor can they explain how these orbits would be maintained for billions of years. Gravity should have caused the orbiting moons to slow each other down. Evolutionary time frames would have required that the moons crash into the mother planets a long time ago. The moon’s interior is still hot. There seems to be no other explanation for the fact that the interior of the moon is still hot except that it appears not to have cooled off yet! It must therefore be very young! The earth’s interior is still hot! So are a number of the other planets. These planets are thus still cooling off. There is no other hypothetical explanation for heat in the interior of the planets unless the solar system is not billions of years old! The moon is moving away from the earth at measurable rates. Assuming a 4.6 billion year old earth, it should have escaped the earth’s orbit several billion years ago. There is no explanation as to how the Earth, or any other of the planets captured their moons into orbit. Nor is their any accepted scientific solution for the Sun to have captured the planets. The earth’s magnetic field has decayed by 6% in the last 150 years. Some scientists have proposed a maximum age of 20,000 years using a geometric decay profile for the magnetic field.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you love good movies as much as I do, you are going to want to watch the movie Buried. This is a movie about a man who was buried alive with only a lighter, a knife and a cell phone. Initially he doesn't remember how he got there, but over time it starts coming back to him. This movie is an American indie thriller directed by Rodrigo Cortes. It is staring Ryan Reynolds, Anne Lockhart and Ivano Mino. Ryan Reynolds played in movies such as National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Waiting, Just Friends, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Anne Lockhart play in a movie A Dog's Tale and premiered on Knight Rider and Quantum Leap. She was also Lieutenant Sheba on Battlestar Galactica. The main character is Paul Conroy who is a truck driver and somehow ends up 6 feet under. This movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2010, and its first trailer premiered with A Nightmare on Elm Street. This movie will all be presented at Deauville American Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. So what are you waiting for? If you are looking for a new movie to watch, you should checkout Buried.

Evan Thomas Calls Obama God

2010-09-05T17:33:00.000-05:00

I am sure Obama is sitting high and mighty after hearing that Evan Thomas, a Newsweek editor, called him God. Evan Thomas said, "Obama is standing above the country. Above…above the world… "He’s sort of God." Does anybody besides me find this crazy? This is the mentality of the left. They are making Obama out to be the savior of the world. I don’t want a president that is going to be the leader of the world. I want a president that will be the leader of the United States. His primary purpose should be to the people of the United States of America, not the whole world. For a news reporter to call him God is just insane. What has this God done so far?

1)He has accumulated more debt in one hundred days than all the other Presidents combined. China is worried about the debt they are buying and are planning on huge inflation in the United States.
2)He has increased the size of government to make LBJ look like Reagan.
3)He proposed budget deficits that his own OMB Director said were "unsustainable".
4)He went on an apology tour to apologize to the world about the arrogance of the United States to promote his own popularity.
5)He has shaken the hands of dictators, and he wants to appease people who say they want to wipe Israel off the map.

Chavez and Fidel Castro said that Obama is more left-wing than they are. That is a scary thought.

So is Obama God? The answer is, "He isn’t even close". He is more like a movie star trying to be a president. That is probably why he spends most of his time giving speeches.

Limbaugh: "If Al Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they’d better hurry, because Obama's beating them to it."

The Facts about the Religion of Evolution

2010-09-03T00:16:00.000-05:00

"I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."

Aldous Huxley, wrote Brave New World (1932)

"I know of no finding in archaeology that’s properly confirmed which is in opposition to the Scriptures. The Bible is the most accurate history textbook the world has ever seen."

Dr Clifford Wilson, formerly director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology

"‘Biologists would clearly like to know how modern apes, modern humans and the various ancestral hominids have evolved from a common ancestor. Unfortunately, the fossil record is somewhat incomplete as far as the hominids are concerned, and it is all but blank for the apes. The best we can hope for is that more fossils will be found over the next few years which will fill the present gaps in the evidence.’ The author goes on to say: ‘David Pilbeam [a well-known expert in human evolution] comments wryly, “If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we’ve got, he'd surely say, ‘forget it: there isn’t enough to go on’.”

(Richard E. Leakey, The Making of Mankind, Michael Joseph Limited, London, 1981, p. 43)

"Humanism: An outlook that places man and his concerns at the centre of interest. Modern Humanism, which does away with traditional Christianity, is characterised by its faith in the power of human beings to create their own future, collectively and personally."
In other words, evolution = religion. That is, people (not God) set whatever rules they want. In practice, this usually becomes ‘might makes right’, including the tyranny of the majority.

Creation Ex Nihilo 22(4):23, Sepember–November 2000

‘I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has.’

Malcolm Muggeridge, well-known British journalist and philosopher—Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

I am just pointing out the facts. Evolution is a theory in trouble. It is dominated by atheists which validate each others claim based on their biases and not the facts. My point here is that there are many people who are experts in their fields who do not believe or have doubts about the theory of evolution. If you really look at the absurdity of evolution, you will have to come away from it troubled.

‘Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion—a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in this one complaint—and Mr [sic] Gish is but one of many to make it—the literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.
‘… Evolution therefore came into being as a kind of secular ideology, an explicit substitute for Christianity.’

Michael Ruse was professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph, Canada (recently moved to Florida), He was the leading anti-creationist philosopher whose (flawed) arguments seemed to convince the biased judge to rule against the Arkansas ‘balanced treatment’ (of creation and evolution in schools) bill in 1981/2. At the trial, he and the other the anti-creationists loftily dismissed the claim that evolution was an anti-god religion.
‘Let me summarize my views on what modern evolutionary biology tells us loud and clear … There are no gods, no purposes, no goal-directed forces of any kind. There is no life after death. When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be dead. That’s the end for me. There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning to life, and no free will for humans, either.’
Provine, W.B., Origins Research 16(1), p.9, 1994.

If you don't like what evolution teaches, you might want to consider looking at other possibilities. I realize that some of you think I am crazy for not believing in evolution. You might think that I don't know what I am talking about. That is why I am creating this post so you are aware that I am not the only one that doesn't believe in this theory. Like I said before, creationist are religious, and so are the people who believe in evolution. I am not saying that science is religion. There is some serious valid sciences that isn't religious. However, the so called science concerning origin of life or the universe is a religious concept if it involves God or no God. It takes a lot of faith to believe in the Big Bang and that makes you just as religious as a Creationist. So don't fool yourself if you are an atheist thinking that your scientific views should dominate over the theory of Creationism. Creationism can develop theories just like evolutionist. Our theories involve a Creator because we know that complexity requires intelligence.

Did Jesus Exist?

2010-08-28T11:11:00.000-05:00

One of the big atheistic arguments against Christianity is the claim that Jesus never existed. You can find these arguments at this site: www.atheists.org/christianity/didjesusexist.html. The most influential person that ever lived was Jesus Christ. If Jesus never existed, then the entire world and most religions are based on a lie about a man that never even existed. That is a whole lot harder for me to believe. What are the chances of this kind of lie being so convincing that most religions would based their teachings on it. Every religion talks about him in one form or another and the majority of the world are religious. This type of statement would be along the same line as the people who believe that the earth is flat. You can visit the flat earth website here: www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm. My guess is that they have about one member. The atheists on their website gives their Old Testament evidence which consists of one paragraph. It is probably because they never took the time to read the Old Testament because it is filled with evidence for Jesus. They say, “Despite the claims of Christian apologists, there is absolutely nothing in the Old Testament (OT) that is of relevance to our question, apart from the possible fact that some prophets may have thought that an ‘anointed one’ (a rescuer king or priest) would once again assume the leadership of the Jewish world.” This quote demonstrates that they have never actually read the Old Testament. They make other statements such as, “It is clear that the gospels of Matthew and Luke could not possibly have been written by an eye-witness of the tales they tell.” They go on to make other crazy claims. Do they also claim that Napoleon never lived? Do they claim that Aristotle and Socrates never lived? Do they also claim that other historical people never lived? Of course not, because like I said before, Atheist only hate Christianity.

The Truth about Radiometric Dating

2010-08-25T20:56:00.000-05:00

I have been having a conversation with a hardcore evolutionist concerning radiometric dating methods. He gave me an article written by a so-called Christian that wrote a paper on the evidence for radiometric dating and how accurate it is.

Evolutionist think that radiometric dating is absolute. Here is a video by a scientist concerning radiometric dating and he demonstrates that it definitely isn't absolute. Water can destroy radiometric dating so if a world wide flood occurred, you couldn't get an accurate date from radiometric dating. That is just one problem. Another problem is the assumption that the rate of decay remained constant. That is a big problem if the earth is millions of years old.

Here are some requirements for radioactive dating.

a.) Need to be a closed system.

1. That is, that the process was not or is not affected by any outside or inside influences. The process is unhindered in development, it is separate from outside factors.

b.) Not have any of the daughter components present in the initial system.

2. If there existed any of the daughter components in the original system, you would have to know that amount and incorporate it into your calculations. Otherwise your age determination would be faulty.

c.) Have the same process rate.

3. Since the establishment of the system, the decay or process rate has remained stable and unchanged. If it were changed, then any calculation of the earth's age or the sample's age would be incorrect. To obtain a proper date, you would need to compensate for the fluctuating process rate.

The main and obvious problem with these assumptions is that they are not valid. Examine them closely.

1. Is there such a thing in nature as a closed system?

This is an ideal concept. But it is a non-existent ideal. The idea that a system in nature could remain closed (that is, not influenced by any outside sources) for millions or billions of years is absurd to the highest degree.

2. Is it possible to know the original components of a system formed billions of years ago?

According to evolutionists, there were no humans around during that time, so the notion that we can know the original components is once again absurd.

3. What process rate in an open system remains unchanged?

Every process in nature operates at a rate influenced by many different factors. If one of the factors changes, the rate is altered. Any so called 'age determination' by a physical process is, once stripped down, only an educated guess, and is most likely entirely unrelated to the actual age.

As we progress further in this evaluation, we will examine the actual processes by which these methods work, and carefully determine their validity and accuracy. Despite the overwhelmingly dogmatic support from the textbook community, the methods are simply inconsistent in the answers they put forth.

Of the dating methods that we will examine, the Uranium methods will be the first. The Uranium method is actually a compilation of a many methods. The function of this method is based on a chain of decay from Uranium and its sister element Thorium, into Lead and Helium. This process is called "alpha decay". The positively charged atoms of helium gas, otherwise known as alpha particles, escape the nuclei of the parent atoms at rates which have been shown to be statistically constant.

There are three decay chains in the Uranium methods:

1. Uranium 238 decays into Lead 206 plus 8 helium atoms; has a half-life of 4.5 billion years.
2. Uranium 235 decays into Lead 207 plus 7 helium atoms; has a half life of 0.7 billion years.
3. Thorium 232 decays into Lead 208 plus 7 helium atoms; has a half life of 14.1 billion years.

The crucial problem with these methods, in accordance to the invalid assumptions, is the fact that Uranium minerals NEVER exist in a closed system, only and always in open systems. Their reliability is commented on by Henry Faul:

"Uranium and lead both migrate (in shales) in geologic time, and detailed analyses have shown that useful ages cannot be obtained with them. Here again much chemical activity is known to take place and widely diverging ages can be measured on samples from the same spot."

Unless it is absolutely known that the system has always been a closed system, the dates provided are meaningless. Evelyn Driscoll said:

"If all of the age-dating methods (rubidium-strontium, uranium-lead and potassium-argon) had yielded the same ages, the picture would be neat. But they haven't."

The Atheist Internal Argument for Jesus Existence

2010-08-25T19:15:00.000-05:00

This information is taken from the Atheist website:

It is only in 180 CE, with Irenæus of Lyons, that we learn who wrote the four "canonical" gospels and discover that there are exactly four of them because there are four quarters of the earth and four universal winds. Thus, unless one supposes the argument of Irenæus to be other than ridiculous, we come to the conclusion that the gospels are of unknown origin and authorship, and there is no good reason to suppose they are eye-witness accounts of a man named Jesus of Nazareth.

It is clear that the gospels of Matthew and Luke could not possibly have been written by an eye-witness of the tales they tell. Both writers plagiarized (largely word-for-word) up to 90% of the gospel of Mark, to which they add sayings of Jesus and would-be historical details. Ignoring the fact that Matthew and Luke contradict each other in such critical details as the genealogy of Jesus…

But what about the gospel of Mark, the oldest surviving gospel? Attaining essentially its final form probably as late as 90 CE but containing core material dating possibly as early as 70 CE, it omits, as we have seen, almost the entire traditional biography of Jesus, beginning the story with John the Baptist giving Jesus a bath, and ending - in the oldest manuscripts - with women running frightened from the empty tomb. (The alleged post resurrection appearances reported in the last twelve verses of Mark are not found in the earliest manuscripts, even though they are still printed in most modern bibles as though they were an "authentic" part of Mark's gospel.) Moreover, "Mark" being a non-Palestinian non-disciple, even the skimpy historical detail he provides is untrustworthy.
**************************************************
The problem with the Atheist argument is that they attempt to discredit the documents based on the already perceived hatred for Christianity. They do not intellectually analyze the evidence. They assume Irenæus was incorrect because they don’t agree with some of his views. If they conclude a writer is insane, then they will discount anything the writer has to say. If I followed that rule today, then I would conclude that most of Hollywood is insane, and most of our government is insane. I mean, I don’t agree with so many people it is hard to count. Our government has used 900 billion dollars to bail out Wall Street, and if that isn’t insane, then I don’t know what is. Just because you don’t agree with someone, doesn’t mean that they are inaccurate when they are talking about a particular event.

Plagiarism wasn't the evil word that it is today. I don't see any problem if Mathew and Luke took some of the information from Mark's Gospel. That doesn't mean that what Luke and Mathew said was not accurate information. They also state that Mark's Gospel is untrustworthy because he wasn't a disciple. Why is that? You can't be an eye witness unless you are a disciple? There they go again making an assumption without any logic. The Apostle Paul wasn't an original disciple and he wrote most of the New Testament.

These Atheist will do what ever they can to discredit the Bible, but the accuracy of the Bible is a whole lot better then the evidence they have for Evolution.

Global Warming and the Theory of Evolution

2010-08-24T23:16:00.000-05:00

I have been accused on my blog of not supporting science because I am against the theory of evolution. That is because the theory of evolution is a fraud and shouldn't be called science. There is another theory that also has a political spin and that is the theory of Global Warming. I am not saying that the earth hasn't gotten a few degrees hotter, but I am saying that it is a natural phenomenon. In the 1970s, some people were claiming global cooling and now today they are claiming global warming to the point where they are passing laws that are going to crash our economy.

"I have compared global warming alarmism as a kind of religion, complete with its own versions of sin, repentance, atonement, ritual (kids go through recycling drills) and indulgence (purchase carbon offsets to compensate for your private jet travel). Now it turns out that there’s another element: a desire to kill heretics. Here’s a collection of calls for executions of “global warming deniers.” I don’t see any specifics on what method should be used. Burning at the stake, an old favorite, might produce too much in the way of carbon emissions. Lethal injection might require use of petrochemicals produced from carbon-emitting fossile fuels. Perhaps hanging by the neck until dead with a noose made of natural fibers produced on a certified organic farm which was not reclaimed from rain forest."

When is comes to these crazy theories in science, I rather take the side of the scientists that are not in the majority. The scientists that are usually the zealots are the ones that over look the facts and ignores the evidence. That is because they need to believe in their theory even if it isn't true. It has become a religion to them. Evolution is a religion, and so is Global Warming.

At this site, someone claims that almost no scientists are coming out against Global Warming.

"Well for one thing there aren't very many. There are virtually no climate scientists who dispute that humans are causing global warming. There are a few who dispute that future warming will be particularly dangerous."

This statement is incorrect, because according to what was released on May 19th, over 31,000 scientists signed a petition against Global Warming.

Just like with the theory of evolution where people get fired for not believing it, that would apply to the scientists that don't support Global Warming. Some governments are too involved with passing laws in support of it. Global Warming is a way that the environmental groups can get what they want. People in this country always believes in science as absolute without every questioning it.

"Now, according to three new studies published in the journal Science, it turns out those conclusions based on satellite and weather balloon data were based on faulty analyses."

Don't believe everything you read just because someone calls it science!!

The Stars & Galaxies: Where did they all come from? (Part 8)

2010-08-15T14:29:00.000-05:00

Prediction:
The Natural phenomena will satisfactorily describe the origin of astrophysical objects.

Prediction:
Any scientific analysis for the origin of the universe will call for an uncaused intelligence.

Astrophysical objects will defy naturalistic explanations indicating that they could not have happened without external engineering.

The best naturalistic proposal for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang theory.
Here are some of the phenomena that the Big Bang has not explained with known scientific laws:
the origin of the time, space, matter continuum
the origin of the great explosion
the formation of galaxies
the formation of stars from expanding clouds of hydrogen
the formation of binary stars
the formation of planets and their moons
the formation of the laws of nature

Other naturalistic explanations have even more serious problems often contradicting the laws of causality and of thermodynamics. The Steady State theory, for example, states that matter is somehow constantly being created in the “center” of the universe. If there is a creator, then this theory could be entertained, but it is not a naturalistic explanation. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed.

A Calculated Israel Prophecy

2010-08-05T22:56:00.000-05:00

This is an interesting prophecy that I read in a book. This prophecy doesn’t prove anything, but it is just interesting that it happened to come out this way. Is this a significant prophecy? I will leave that up for you to decide.

(NIV version)

Ezekiel 4:3-6 says, “Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days, you will bear the sin of the house of Israel. After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.”

If you noticed that God has decreed punishment for Israel for 390 days and 40 days which is 430 days. He then says that each day will be a year.

Therefore, 430 years of captivity has been decreed for Israel.

In Jeremiah 25:11 it says, “This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”

Israel was in captivity from 606BC to 536BC for 70 years. Therefore, you can subtract that 70 years from 430 and you arrive at 360 years.

In Leviticus 26:18 it says, “If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.”

So, if Israel didn’t listen to God and God punished them 7 times over, then you can multiply the 360 years by 7 and you end up with 2,520 years.

The Jewish people had a different calendar so you should convert the 2,520 to the Jewish calendar.

2520*360 (Jewish Calendar)=907,200 and divide 907,200 by our calendar of 365.25 you get 2483.80 years.

The Babylonian captivity ended at 536BC so if you take 2483.8-536 and + 1 (because there isn’t any zero AD) you end up with:

1948 which is the year of the rebirth of Israel.

The Knights Templar and the Free Masons

2010-08-01T11:18:00.000-05:00

The Knights Templar is affiliated with the Freemasons. In some countries, it is a seperate order. The members of the order have to be Master Masons of a Christian faith or defenders of the Christian faith. Some people claim that the Knights Templar were protectors of the Ark of the Covenant.

The earliest written copies of Masonic ritual states that they found the Ark of the Covenant hidden in a cave under the site of King Solomon's temple.

The Freemasons is a fraternal organization that arose in the late 16th to early 17th century. There membership today are estimated to be 5 million.

What is even more interesting is that many presidents were Freemasons as stated below:

George Washington

James Monroe

Andrew Jackson

James Polk

James Buchanan

Andrew Johnson

James Garfield

William McKinley

Theodoe Roosevelt

Howard Taft

Warren Harding

Franklin Roosevelt

Harry Truman

Gerald Ford

Apraham Lincoln did apply for membership, but later withdrew his application.

President Reagan was involved in masonic functions and was an honorable member of the Imperial Council of the Shrine, but is not a Freemason.

President George Bush was also referred to as a Freemason. He took his oath of office by swearing in on the George Washington Bible which belongs to St. Johns Lodge in New York City, but he was not a Freemason.

Is Evolution a Theory

2010-07-26T21:20:00.000-05:00

Talk Origins website quotes: “Evolution is a Fact and a Theory”

A Scientific theory follows the following sequences:

1) Choose and define the natural phenomenon that you want to figure out and explain.

How life came into existence ?

2) Collect information (data) about this phenomenon by going where the phenomena occur and making observations. Or, try to replicate this phenomenon by means of a test (experiment) under controlled conditions (usually in a laboratory) that eliminates interference's from environmental conditions.

It is impossible to do experimental laboratory tests on creating life. The evolutionist attempt to collect data about the evolutionary theory, but the evidence is always inconclusive and the evolutionist jumps to assumptions that are far fetch and hard to believe. The scientific community already has implanted biases that lead them to the wrong conclusions.

3) After collecting a lot of data, look for patterns in the data. Attempt to explain these patterns by making a provisional explanation, called a hypothesis.

The evolutionists are looking for science that supports their view point, but when they uncover something that contradicts their view point they choose to ignore it. The theory of evolution might stop here and be called a hypothesis. That is about all they can claim.

4) Test the hypothesis by collecting more data to see if the hypothesis continues to show the assumed pattern. If the data does not support the hypothesis, it must be changed, or rejected in favor of a better one. In collecting data, one must NOT ignore data that contradicts the hypothesis in favor of only supportive data.

The evolutionists continue to ignore the statement “In collecting data, one must NOT ignore data that contradicts the hypothesis in favor of only supportive data”.

"We (evolutionists) have been telling our students for years not to accept any statement on its face value but to examine the evidence, and, therefore, it is rather a shock to discover that we have failed to follow our own sound advice." John T, Bonner

"We Paleontologists have said that the history of life supports (the story of gradual adaptive change), all the while really knowing that it does not." Miles Eldredge, pro-evolution

Stephen J. Gould, one of the intellectual fathers of the "punctuated equilibrium" theory, admitted this in all clarity at a conference he gave at Hobart & William Smith College: "Every paleontologist knows that most species don't change. That's bothersome ... brings terrible distress. ... They may get a little bigger or bumpier. But they remain the same species and that's not due to imperfection and gaps but stasis. And yet this remarkable stasis has generally been ignored as no data. If they don't change, it's not evolution so you don't talk about it."

Evolutionists are constantly ignoring data that contradicts their belief. Now, creationists have also claimed certain evidence based on their biases as well. However, creationist can admit it, but evolutionists do not.

The Lucy skeleton is still quoted as evidence for evolution even though it was totally disproved.
Lucy was just another partial find of some primate that was put together to look like some transitional form of human. The bones of Lucy were seperated by 200 feet by 1 mile. Maybe we should think that the seperation of Lucy's bones was due to a world wide flood.

It is interesting to note that the fossils are so scarce regarding human evolution that all the evidence can fit in a single coffin with room to spare.

5) If a refined hypothesis survives all attacks on it and is the best existing explanation for a particular phenomenon, it is then elevated to the status of a theory.

Evolution hasn’t survived any of the attacks against it; they have just convinced people that their theory is sound because so many people do not want to anwer to a supreme being. People wanted another alternative to a belief in God so they made one up.

6) A theory is subject to modification and even rejection if there is overwhelming evidence that disproves it and/or supports another, better theory. Therefore, a theory is not an eternal or perpetual truth. People claim that evolution is a fact, when no scientific theory is a fact.

You can have a lot of evidence to support something, but you don't say that it is 100% fact because all theories are subject to counter evidence that can disprove it. There is always some (perhaps infinitisemally small) chance in principle that an experiment will disprove it. I don’t know who is saying, “Evolution is just a theory”, because it doesn’t really classify as a theory at all. At best, it might be considered a hypothesis.

"In conclusion, evolution is not observable, repeatable, or refutable and thus does not qualify as either a scientific fact or theory. Evolution must be accepted with faith by its believers, many of whom deny the existence, or at least the power, of the Creator. Similarly, the Biblical account of creation is not observable, repeatable or refutable by man. Special creation is accepted with faith by those who believe that the Bible is the revelation of an omnipotent and omniscient Creator whose Word is more reliable than the speculations of men. Both evolution and creation, however, can be compared for their compatibility with what we do observe of the facts of nature. Intelligent design is a vastly more reasonable explanation for the origin of the complexity we see in living things than is evolution by mere chance and the intrinsic properties of nature. " Dr. Menton received his Ph.D. in Biology from Brown University. He has been involved in biomedical research and education for over 30 years.

Noah’s Flood Global or Local and the Media Bias

2010-06-20T13:07:00.000-05:00

Why do people believe in the Bible? How does the Bible compare to other religious texts? Is there a difference between other religious texts and the Bible?

People are constantly attacking the Bible and saying there isn’t any evidence that supports it. Someone commented on one of my prior posts saying there isn’t any evidence for the Bible, but they are wrong. I want to first talk about Noah’s Flood. What really annoys me is when the Discovery Channel or the History Channel does a special on Noah’s Food saying, “Did Noah’s Flood really happen?” The whole special has one geological expert on it that makes statements like, “There isn’t any geological evidence that supports a global flood.” Are they saying that the Discovery Channel or the History Channel couldn’t find one geologist who believes in a global flood to give a counter argument? I can give you 10 in about 10 minutes. The truth is that there is loads of evidence to support a Noah’s Flood, and there is huge evidence to support the Bible.

Another flood article located at this site: mininova.org has statements such as “Oceanographer Bill Ryan was part of the team that revealed how the Mediterranean was formed 5 million years” and other statements like “Was Noah's Flood a symbol for real people who were driven from a real homeland by a real flood? In an extraordinary geological detective story, two of the world's greatest earth scientists travel to the Black Sea to reveal evidence of a mighty torrent that poured through the Bosphorus with the power of over four hundred Niagara Falls. Did this catastrophic event, only 7,500 years ago, become the stuff of ancient storytelling and the origin of the Biblical Flood?”

First they are spouting out another date that means nothing to anybody but evolutionist. How do they really know that it was 5 million years? Is there really a dating method that can date something accurately to 5 million years? However, the video is really about endorsing the local flood idea and not the global flood idea. I guess they will later explain how the Chinese legends had flood stories, and how the Native Americans had flood stories, and how Australian Aborigines had flood stories. I guess they plan to explain that in their next documentary. I guess they will explain how the Fossil ‘graveyards’ are found worldwide and in rocks of all ‘ages’. Only a global flood could achieve such an event. Maybe in their next unbiased flood documentary they will cover how the Dinosaurs and many other prehistoric creatures died out suddenly. Only a catastrophe such as a global flood could have produced this result. Just maybe, when the media actually attempt to film a documentary concerning Noah’s Flood that is accurate, we will learn about some of the facts that are actually true.

Arguments for Evolution

2010-06-10T21:35:00.000-05:00

What I am referring to as evolution is the belief in no God and that life started at the Big Bang and evolved into what we are today. I realize that evolutionist like to separate the views of the evolution of man and the Big Bang, but most evolutionist also believe in the Big Bang and the whole entire view point is what I will be addressing here.

Quote from evolutionist:
"And you cite..... what now? I have read several essays by scientists about evolution. Adaptation and natural selection have been observed, and from there it's simply a matter of time to reach speciation. Which, for that matter, has also been observed. While the fossil record is incomplete, some transitional forms have been located, and assuming that the holes are due to the rarity of fossilization is just as valid as assuming that the missing transitional forms don't exist."

This is from the talkorigins.org website. Creationist do believe in adaptation.

Creationist believe in a creator because life does not come into existence by chance (this has never been observed in science). Creationist believe in a creator which has been believed as long as man has been on the earth. Evolution has not been a widely accepted view point until Darwin.
Lets discuss some of the primary arguments for evolution (See my next posts for rebuttals):

1) Evolutionist believe in the Big Bang (Unless you are someone like Hugh Ross who doesn't truly believe in the Bible so they adapt the Bible with evolution): This theory believes that intelligence comes from non-intelligence, that the earth is billions of years old and that over billions of years we evolved by random chance and random mutations into what we are today.

2) Evolutionist believe in macro-evolution which means that we evolved from a completely different Kind.

3) Evolutionist believe that the earth is billions of years old. (So do other people who adapt the Bible to evolutionist theories)

4) Evolutionist do not believe in a world wide flood caused by God, but other forms of natural disasters such as the ice age.

"Many ...believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a `fact' and, therefore, it must be accepted... In recent years, a great many people...having finally been persuaded to make a real examination of the problem of evolution, have become convinced of its fallacy and are now convinced anti-evolutionists."
-- Henry Morris, former evolutionist.

The Science of Evolution

2010-06-02T00:04:00.000-05:00

If Evolution is supported by so many facts, then why does the latest gallop poll show that less than 40 percent of the American people believe in Evolution? In America, students learn Evolution in elementary school, junior high, high school, and even college. All of the public institutions and many private institutions still teach Evolution? But somehow they still haven't convinced the majority of the masses that it is true. Even though the Internet is dominated by Evolutionist propaganda, people are still not buying into this theory. People have said that Evolution is a fact for the longest time and now with Ardi, they are rethinking their theory. I thought it was already declared a fact?

There are all types of evolution that people hear of such as cosmic evolution, stellar evolution, macroevolution, microevolution and chemical evolution. Most supporters of evolution probably don't even know the difference because they usually get confused by calling their evidence macroevolution when in reality, it is only microevolution.

according to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary means "comparatively minor evolutionary change involving the accumulation of variations in populations usually below the species level" (2009)

Microevolution is the only type of evolution that happens today and even Creationist believe in Microevolution. The other type of evolution has never been observed happening. It is amazing to me that there still are so many supporters of evolution.

One major problem with the theory of evolution is that of irreducibly complex systems. According to Michael Behe, the author of Darwin's Black Box, an "irreducibly complex system" cannot be made by minute, consecutive changes of a previous system, since any change to remove a part of an "irreducibly complex system" will result in non-functionality (1996). This means that if one part is missing, the whole system will fail. The problem that challenges the theory of evolution is that an organism cannot evolve if it cannot live with one part missing. Michael Behe (1996) gives an example of a mousetrap as an irreducibly complex mechanism. The mousetrap has five basic parts to it: hammer, spring, catch, holding bar, and platform. If any one of these parts were missing, the whole mousetrap would fail to function.

The problem with the theory of Evolution is that we know more about science today than when Darwin was alive. The cell is way more complex than Darwin was aware of, and Darwin did not know about irreducibly complex systems like scientists do today.

Darwin might not even believe in his own theory if he was alive today.

Macroevolution is, according to Merriam Webster Online Dictionary, "evolution that results in relatively large and complex changes (as in species formation)" (2009). "Species formation" is referring to changes outside a species, e.g., a chicken evolving into a hamster. There is only one problem with macroevolution, and that is that there is no proof for it.

One of these problems is in the genetic code. The genetic code can change within the species from generation to generation, but it cannot have new information added to it. For instance, a person could take a wolf and pick out one trait like a black colored coat, and then breed it for several generations until all they would get are black wolf puppies.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Ark of the Covenant

2010-05-27T22:49:00.000-05:00

This is a Castle in the City of Gondor and the biggest market in Ethiopia.

There is one big mystery surrounding the Bible and that is, "what ever happened to the Ark of the Covenant?" This story fascinates people to the point that even Hollywood made a movie about it.

There are a couple of possible scenerios. One scenerio is that it ended up in Egypt which is what "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was about. A more plausible scenerio is that it ended up in Ethiopia.

There is a story in Ethiopia that goes something like this:

Solomon had a wife named the Queen of Sheba. According to the Ethiopian tradition, the Queen of Sheba was an Ethiopian Monarch. Sheba had two sons named Menelik and Azarius. The Queen of Sheba returned to Ethiopia to discover that she was carrying Solomon's child. When Menelik turned 20, he traveled from Ethiopia to Israel and arrived at his father's court. There he was instantly recognized and accorded great honor. After a year had passed, however, the elders of the land became jealous of him. The King sent Menelik back to Ethiopia and the first-born sons of all the elders had to accompany him. One of these sons name Azarius stole the Ark from its place in the Holy of Holies and brought it to Ethiopia. They assumed that God willed it since God let him have it. Therefore, the Ark was left in Ethiopia.

There are a couple of things I would like to point out that makes it seem like it is possible that Ethiopia has the Ark of the Covenant in the City of Axum.

One is the Falasha Jews. There were a group of Jews that lived in Ethiopia called the Falasha Jews. They were recognized to be Jewish and were allowed to return to Israel based on Israel's comming home policy. These Jews celerabrated traditions only up to the 1st Temple of Solomon. They didn't know anything about the 2nd Temple's traditions that are celebrated among todays Jews. It is possible that they are the Jews that came to Ethiopia with the Ark of the Covenant when Azarius stole it from the Holy of Holies. Azarius stole the Ark before the second Temple of Solomon was built.

Another interesting fact is that the entire Ethiopian Orthodox Church is centered around the Ark of the Covenant. Every Orthodox Church in Ethiopia has a replica of the Ark of the Covenant within them.

Every member of the Orthodox church will claim that they have the Ark of the Covenant.

So the question remains, who has the Ark of the Covenant? Does Ethiopia really have it and if they do, why won't they let anybody see it? And if Israel finds out that they have it, are they going to want it back?

Gondor was founded in the seventeenth century by Fasilidas, the same emperor who had rebuilt the church of Saint Mary of Zion at Axum. Outside the city of Gonder (until recently) dwelled the Black Jews of Ethiopian, also called the Flasha Jews. The Flasha Jews were converted to Judaism by the Jews who migrated to Ethiopia with Azarus and the Ark of the Covenant.

Behind the Truth of the Cap and Trade Bill

2010-04-06T22:26:00.000-05:00

Obama is pushing for the largest tax increase in American History under the disguise of climate change. The “cap” is a legal limit on the quantity of greenhouse gases that a region can emit each year and the “trade” means that companies may swap among themselves the permission-or permits-to emit greenhouse gases. This type of law will make our economy worse, not better. What Obama thinks is that this will be a better way to heat and cool our homes, transport people and goods, and grow our crops. However, this is just an environmental scheme to redistribute income from consumers to the firms with the most power in Washington. What this bill really would do is to increase energy costs to consumers and manufacturers. Companies probably will start moving over seas because their energy costs will be to high. Don't forget to read Section 217 which has rebates, vouchers and other incentives to get the American people to install water-saving devices in their homes. This micromanagement of Big Government is the same thing that caused the Boston Tea Party. Maybe Obama has heard of it. If this law passes, people won't be able to sell their homes unless it is green. All of you who think Obama is the Messiah like the one lady that said at the death of Michael Jackson, “Michael is like the Obama of music”, should read the book 1984.

Will Homeschooled kids rebel after moving out of their parent's home (Part 3)?

2010-04-01T20:18:00.000-06:00

This argument doesn't make much sense at all. Any kid can rebel and it doesn't matter if they were homeschooled or not. I actually think that if a person is older, they will have a better chance of withstanding peer pressure, and if the child isn't in high school anymore, there will be less peer pressure to withstand. Statistically, homeschooled kids outperform their counterparts.

“In 1997, a study of 5,402 homeschool students from 1,657 families was released. It was entitled, "Strengths of Their Own: Home Schoolers Across America." The study demonstrated that homeschoolers, on the average, out-performed their counterparts in the public schools by 30 to 37 percentile points in all subjects. A significant finding when analyzing the data for 8th graders was the evidence that homeschoolers who are homeschooled two or more years score substantially higher than students who have been homeschooled one year or less. The new homeschoolers were scoring on the average in the 59th percentile compared to students homeschooled the last two or more years who scored between 86th and 92nd percentile.”

Will Home school Kids lack social skills? (Part 2)

2010-03-25T13:16:00.000-06:00

Your child might lack social skills if you put them in a room and lock the door and never let them out. Most home schooled kids that I have dealt with get social skills other ways. There are many other ways that a child can get social skills other than at school. They can be involved with a youth group at church. They can play sports outside of school. My sister who home schooled three of her kids had them all on a swim team. Why is it that people feel the only place to get social skills is to send them to school? Do you want your child to believe what everybody believes? Is that why you send them to school? If you are home schooled by good parents who teach you strong values, you will have the tools to reject the corruption of the mass society, and I doubt you really want your child to believe what the mass society tells them to believe. When a parent decides to home school their child, that doesn't mean that their child will be sheltered from society. They just won't be subjected to the brainwashing perpetrated by our educational system. I have known many kids who went to public school who lacked serious social skills especially kids who are picked on or teased. A friend of mine said that kids need to learn to deal getting picked on to know how to handle it. I disagree with that statement. Most people who are picked on don't learn to deal with it in School. After High School, they probably won't be subjected to that kind of treatment anymore anyway. If many kids in public schools lack social skills, then why do you assume that you need to send you child to school to get social skills?

Radioactive Dating, Carbon Dating and the Age of Earth

2010-03-19T20:58:00.000-06:00

Many people have a serious misconception concerning dating methods. When I took an Astronomy class in college the teacher, who has a PHD in Astronomy, asked a question on how old the students thought the age of the earth was. I already knew what she was going to say which was somewhere in the billions of years. I raised my hand and said that some scientist believe that the earth is young. She started asking me questions and one of the questions was, "What about carbon 14 dating?" That is along the lines of common misconceptions even among scientists.

Carbon 14 can't be used to date the universe or the earth at all. If it is going to date anything, it can only date it up to about 50,000 years. Another misconception that people have is that carbon 14 can date anything. Carbon 14 can only date something that at one time was living.

For C-14 dating the conditions are:

1. The material to be dated must be organic
2. The organism to be tested must have gotten its C-14 from the atmosphere
3. The sample has remained chemically and physically a closed system since its emplacement.
4. That we know what the atmospheric concentration of C-14 was when the
organism lived.

Radioactive dating is the method that was used to date the age of the earth.

Evolutionist make many assumptions when it comes to radioactive dating. They assume that lead in a rock was produced by the decay of its uranium. They assume that the amount can be accurately estimated. They also assume that the material being measured has been in a closed system. They assume that no outside factors altered the normal ratio in the material. Even after 10,000 years, you should assume that something might have altered the material in the object that is being tested. They assume that the rate of decomposition has always remained constant.

The evolutionist claim that the age of the earth is 4.5 billion years old. The scientists jump to huge assumptions to support their far fetch theory and it seems that many people just don't want to question them. The evolutionist want to look at Christians as being lunatics, but the only difference between the evolutionist and the Christian is that Christians worship a Creator, and the evolutionist worships science.

"The belief that species are immutable [unchangeable] productions was almost unavoidable as long as the history of the world was thought to be of short duration."—*Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species (conclusion to second edition).

Reliability of the Bible and the Islamic Response

2010-03-13T19:30:00.000-06:00

http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Bible/Text/Bibaccuracy.html
At the above website, some Islamic group attempts to discredit the Bible's reliability. One of the big arguments for the Muslims is the unreliability of the Bible compared to the reliability of the Koran. That is pretty interesting concerning the evidence for the Bible compared to the Koran. I am not going to rehash the response since there is a good response located at this website:
http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/

I do want to point out some important information concerning the reliability of the scriptures however.

The fact that there are 24,000 partial and complete copies of the New Testament is extremely important. That enables Bible scholars to compare the manuscripts to make sure they have the most accurate translation. Scholars have concluded that there are only 150 variances between the manuscripts. However, the variances are minimal. We have to remember that they didn't have a copy machine in the first and second century when the Bible was written. People had to make copies by hand so to have 24,000 copies with only 150 small variances is very impressive. If you compare the number of manuscripts we have for the New Testament to other ancient manuscripts, they don't have even close to the number of manuscripts of the New Testament. Of course, critics don't question the accuracy of other ancient texts.

A big discovery was the dead sea scrolls. The dead sea scrolls were discovered at Qumran in 1947. They found a manuscript that became the oldest Old Testament manuscript which dated to around 150BC. The oldest manuscript before the dead sea scrolls dated around 980AD. When the compared the manuscripts there was only about 5 percent of variation between the manuscripts.

We know the New Testament is accurate because of the number of manuscripts that were able to be compared with each other.

We know the Old Testament is accurate because of the care that was taken on the Old Testament.

The Jewish Priest had to rewrite the manuscripts of the Old Testament, and they had to take extreme care by obeying strict rules.

You can see the rules in rewriting the Old Testament at this site:
http://biblicism.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/the-bibliography-of-the-old-testament/

So again, you have to be careful in listening to the critics. Everybody has there agenda. Every religion has critics that either tries to discredit it or prove it.

My agenda is simple. I am looking at truth. I look at scriptural truth, and non-scriptural truth.

This is what I know from facts so far (see my prior posts):

1) Intelligent Life doesn't come into existence by chance (nothing in this world can demonstrate intelligent life coming into this world by randomness)

2) We know there is a God (Intelligence is required to create order)

3) Jesus existed (The evidence is overwelming. If Jesus didn't exist, then no lie would even come close to the lie of Jesus being a historical person. There is overwelming evidence of the expanse of Christianity in the first century and to say that this happened based on a lie is much harder to believe then the existance of Jesus)

4) The Old Testament is reliable (No ancient text even comes close to the care that was taken when rewriting the Old Testament)

5) The New Testament is reliable (No other ancient text even comes close to the number of copies we have of the New Testament. If we don't doubt the other ancient texts, we surly shouldn't doubt the New Testament.)

Should Parents Homeschool (Part 1)?

2010-03-08T21:41:00.000-06:00

I have been having a discussion with some friends about homeschooling. They believe that homeschooling isn't good for children. Most people have a serious misunderstanding of why people homeschool and the benefits of homeschooling.

Here are some of the arguments people will say against homeschooling and some comments my friends have said that I want to address:
(Some information is taken from naturalchild.org)

1) They will lack social skills. Children shouldn't be so sheltered. If you don't send your children to school, how are they going to fit into a mass society?

2) After they move out of their parents home, they most likely will rebel.

3) The homeschooling parents aren't as qualified to teach as teachers in the classroom.

4) The homeschooled student won't be up to the standards in math and science especially in highschool.

5) Keeping your children home to teach them your values is a form of brainwashing. Children should make up their own mind when it comes to religion and politics and not be brainwashed by their parents viewpoints. If you don't send children to school, how are they going to be exposed to any values other than the commercial values of a mass society?

6) If you have good values, you should send your kids to school so other kids can have good peer pressure. If only the kids with bad values went to school, there wouldn't be any good kids in school. How are we going to prevent parents with narrow and bigoted ideas from passing these on to their children?

7) Children in public schools are able to meet and get to know many children very different from themselves. If they didn't go to public school, how would this happen.

I strongly support homeschooling, but I do not necessarily think that every parent should homeschool. When it comes to brainwashing, I would much rather be the one to “brainwash” my kids than the government. I am going to address each one of these concerns in my coming posts.

I am not coming from the perspective of having homeschooled. I do, however, have two brothers who are teachers. One teaches high school math, and one was a principle of a school in Morocco. I have also taught highschool at a private school for a year. One of my brothers homeschooled his children for a couple of years. Another brother of mine has so far homeschooled his two kids almost through elementary school. I also have a sister who homeschooled her three children through high school and they are currently attending college. Another sister has currently homeschooled her three boys almost through elementary school as well. All the kids that have been homeschooled in my family are doing well socially which amounts to 5 children for a couple of years, three children through highschool, and 5 children through elementary school. By the way, my family grew up in Los Gatos California and not on a farm.

Don't Trust Loral Langemeir and the Millionaire Maker

2010-03-04T13:46:00.000-06:00

I had a short but sweet experience with Loral Langemeir that I thought I would share. I listened to her radio program one Saturday where she talked about calling her number to get her free book. It is funny how all of these radio show programs always say, "Just call and we will send you a free book", but never mention that they will pressure you into something else. The whole purpose of sending you a free book is not to help you, but to get you to sign up with their program where you have 30 days to cancel. I hate programs that give you 30 days to cancel because you always get the person asking you, “Why are you canceling?” The salesperson on the phone was pressuring me into signing up for the $60-70 per month program where you will get access to all these resources to make you rich. I didn't fall for that and kept telling the guy that I only wanted the free book. Finally, after all the pressure, the guy said he will send me the free book, but of course, it cost $10.00 for shipping and handling. I really wouldn't call a book free if it cost $10.00 for shipping and handling. So, I figured I got my free book and wouldn't hear from Loral Langemeir again. About a month and a half, I get another call from Loral Langemeir because I now qualified for a free strategy session. By the way, I never received the book. So this guy was asking me a lot of personal financial questions which I was hesitant to answer. First, I was at work and didn’t want to be talking about my financial situations with everyone listening. Secondly, I didn’t really trust this guy. There were a couple of things that gave me a red flag. I told him that I was renting, and he immediately said, “So you are losing money by renting?” In my opinion, that gave me the notion that this guy has no idea what he was talking about. He doesn’t know me well enough to know what my reasons are for renting. First off, there are many good reasons to rent. Isn’t paying thousands of dollars in interest to a bank renting? Who really owns your house, your Bank! In this economy it might be good to rent where houses really aren’t going up in value like they use to and where the housing market still might drop in value. Also, I like where I live. Another reason to rent is for short term. Purchasing a house and then selling a house is very costly. When you purchase the house, you have to pay closing cost, and selling a house you end up paying money to the real estate agent. Another reason why a person rents is because they aren’t responsible for their house. I had to get an air-conditioning unit replaced and guess who paid for it, my landlord. So it actually quite annoyed to me that this expert would jump to a conclusion that I am losing a lot of money from renting. Of course, there are many reasons to buy too. So, I told the guy I didn’t know much about Loral and wanted to read about her before I talked with him. He told me he will call me next week. One of his big selling points was that she was the expert for Doctor Phil. That really didn’t impress me. Isn’t Doctor Phil already rich? So, after researching about Loral with the word scam after her name, I read a lot of articles about issues people had with her program. Some people have invested thousands of dollars into her program with no success. So, I would warn anybody thinking about getting involved with her to be wary. Do your research before deciding to invest thousands of dollars to get rich. Like many people say, getting rich isn’t as easy as these people make it out to be. Investing in real estate has a steep learning curve, and it isn't as easy as some people make it out to be. Luckily, I have only invested ten dollars for a book I never received.

Inbreeding: How fertile are the offspring? (Part 19)

2010-02-27T19:30:00.000-06:00

Inbreeding: How fertile are the offspring?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Prediction: Inbreeding in domestic and other plants & animals will demonstrate a high percentage of strong and fertile offspring.	Prediction: Inbreeding in domestic and other plants &animals will show limits to variation and lead to weak and less fertile offspring.
If speciation is to occur, extreme inbreeding, when repeated geographic isolation occurs, is required. Such inbreeding will allow for differentiation to persist and not be diluted and lost into the greater population. Inbreeding, however, leads to inherited genetic defects, which would overrule any potential inherited benefits to possible “positive mutations”. It is “the almost universal belief of breeders…(of) plants and animals…that close interbreeding diminishes vigor and fertility.” Darwin, The Origin of the Species p.86 Extreme inbreeding of dogs, for example, leads to defects inherited by all descendent members of that breed of dogs. When the inbred dogs return to crossbreed, then the defects are sublimated producing stronger offspring. This is an indication that there are limits to genetic variation. Zea Maiz, (American corn) has been bred for millennia. New varieties have been developed over the centuries through selection and hybridization. Breeding experiments, however, seem to have stayed within the limits of genetic variation. New organs were not developed, rather desirable traits inherent to genetic variability of size, color, flavor, resistance to disease or weather, etc. have been bred into seed stock, while undesirable traits have been bred out. Man seems to have encountered limits to genetic breeding. Genetic engineering may allow for further development. However, at this juncture, if left in the wild, hybridized corn seed quickly looses its specialized combination of desirable traits. Some suggest that corn is so inbred; it may not retain the ability to survive in the wild. By the second generation what was once hybridized corn seed quickly degenerates reverting to less productive, more wild and irregular stock. If evolutionary expectations were met, the differentiated sub-species might continue to evolve into something new as opposed to reverting to old form.

Do All Schools Teach Evolution?

2010-02-17T16:06:00.000-06:00

This image was taken from another website.

There is a big significance to this image when it comes to the theory of evolution. People have claimed that the Christians are driving the anti-evolutionary teaching. According to the research conducted by Lawrence S. Lerner of California State University at Long Beach, that doesn't seem to be the case. By the way, he is an evolutionist.

If you look at the map, you will notice that there are many states that do not force evolution in the classroom.

"According to a 1999 poll taken by People for the American Way Foundation, a Washington D.C. based organization opposed to teaching of creationism in science classes, … Only 37 percent expressed strong support for evolution-that is, teaching it to the exclusion of all religious doctrine in science classes. "

That is interesting since Christians aren't necessarily pushing to teach religion in classrooms. We would like to be able to present the counter arguments to the evolutionary theory.

The interesting thing is that this is the evolutionist data.

The fact is this:

"this isn’t a case of religion against evolution-it is a case of science against evolution."

Like I have said before, the evidence doesn't support the theory of evolution. Evolution has dominated society so they get to push their agenda in some classrooms, in the media and every place else so that is why many people think that evolution is true. The fact is that you are a product of a creator, not evolution.

Creation Resources

2010-02-03T18:59:00.000-06:00

Some people are confused on what my blog is about. People, multiple times, have gotten mad when I reference a website with information that supports my position. Let me make it clear that I am not a full time scientists. This blog is my opinion. My purpose with my blog is to give people some counter information to the Evolutionary propaganda that is all over the scientific community and the media. This blog is primarily for those people who are on the edge and want to know where to get more information on the Creationist Movement. I realize that the Atheist who worship science will never change their opinion no matter what, but I am pointing out that there is a lot of science that is objective and is derived from people's opinion. One person posted on my blog and said that anybody can throw crap on the Internet so I shouldn't be referencing the Internet as my source. That is true. There is a lot of crap on the Internet just like TrueOrigins and other Athiestic websites. My primary goal is to present the other view point for those of you who have never taken the time to understand Creationism. I don't believe that Evolutionist are objectively peer reviewing their work. I think that their Atheistic opinions and already Evolutionary foundation has influenced all of their scientific findings which causes them to present false information.

I also understand that Creationism can't be tested. I also believe that the majority of Evolutionary theory can't be tested as well. So both theories require some faith.

I am not a scientists. However, there are many scientists who do believe in Creationism. So if you are looking to really understand the Creationist movement and why so many scientists are abandoning the theory of Evolution, you should visit some of the Creationist sites or read some of their books. I have attached a Creationist resource for those of you looking to understand the truth.

Homologous Elements: One big happy family? Part 18

2010-01-29T15:35:00.000-06:00

Homologous Elements: One big happy family?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Prediction: Homologous elements will point to relationships and lineage among classes of organisms.	Prediction: Homologous elements will be discontinuous appearing in unrelatable classes of species.
Many studies have shown potential relationships among and across species. Whether these relationships are inherited or the reflection of design is disputed. The genome studies of DNA show a high correlation between phyla suggesting hereditary or designed relationships. For example some have suggested that homologous elements between two supposed close relatives chimpanzees and humans in the DNA code might be as high as 98%. If the human gene code has 3 billion nucleotides in sequence than a 2% difference indicates 60 million items of information modifications to the code. How many generations of evolution would this much change imply? Based upon common characteristics, all mammals are supposed to be related. No sequence of inherited characteristics, however, has been described scientifically in detail. There have only been proposed grand sequences without any evidence. For example some evolutionists have proposed that hippos are predecessors to whales. Darwin suggested swimming bears could have evolved into whales. Carl Sagan helped develop a mural for National Geographic where mammals became whales. Yet, there is no described sequence with realistic discrete intermediary steps from one to another. There are many examples of discontinuous design elements found in unrelatable species. Here are four examples of mammals with relatable design elements found in peers. There are no satisfactory presupposed common ancestors. For these species similarities are more easily used as criteria for classification and support the argument for design rather than the theory for common descent: Several marsupial species that keep their new-born in a pouch, and suckle their young in their belly have look-alike placental mammals including: the wolf, the flying squirrel, cats, ground hogs, anteaters, moles, and mice. Bats fly like birds, and have radar like dolphins. The duckbilled platypus has fur, is warm-blooded, and suckles its young (like mammals); it lays leathery eggs, has a single ventral opening for elimination, mating and birth, and has claws and a shoulder girdle (like most reptiles); it can detect electrical currents, both AC & DC (like some fish) and has a bill like a duck (a bird). Furthermore, it has webbed forefeet like an otter; a flat tail like a beaver and the male can inject poisonous venom like a pit viper. Are these complex abilities by design, or are they the result of hundreds of thousands of discrete positive mutations from a totally unknown series of ancestors? The panda has many structures similar to bears and other structures similar to raccoons such that evolutionary biologists are perplexed about classifying it between the two categories.

Note: Some atheistic evolutionist are still trying to compare Creationist to people who believed in the Flat Earth view. Comments like this just shows the complete ignorance and stupidity of these atheist. If Creationism was this unscientific, then there wouldn't be any famous scientists who would believe it, which there are. You should do your research before making stupid statements like this. I would prefer to stick with the scientific facts, and not ignorant comments.

Haeckel’s Pictures: Do embryos rehearse evolutionary stages? Part 17

2010-01-23T15:32:00.000-06:00

Haeckel’s Pictures: Do embryos rehearse evolutionary stages?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Prediction: The stages of evolution will be confirmed in embryonic stages of complex organisms such as mammals.	Prediction: Any supposed similarity between embryonic stages and evolution will be found to be superficial.
This idea, which is often displayed in science textbooks has since been modified by evolutionary scientists. The man who originally proposed this idea, Ernst Haeckel, purposely falsified his drawings to improve the acceptance of his theory. Since that time further study has indicated that there are similarities in stages of embryo development that could be interpreted in evolutionary terms. However, embryo development clearly does not rehearse evolutionary stages.

First Life: Where did it come from? Part 16

2010-01-17T15:29:00.000-06:00

First Life: Where did it come from?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Prediction: Complex pre-biotic compounds and highly complex organic molecular structures will naturally and randomly occur from inorganic compounds. These combinations will show the potentiality of self-replication.	Prediction: Organic structures will defy experimental and descriptive attempts to define paths from inorganic compounds; these will not occur naturally.
Under experimentally controlled laboratory conditions chemical mixtures have been shown to form sub-organic particles including certain amino acids (the sub-elements of proteins, which, in turn, are the building blocks to life). The most famous of these experiments are the Miller-Urey experiments of the1950’s. However, the controlled chemical environments used in these intelligently designed experiments are not believed to have existed on the earth at any stage in its history. Had the amino acids that were formed in these experiments not been separated from the mix, then they would have been destroyed by the continued application of electrical charges that had helped them form in the first place. The presence of oxygen in these experiments, an element now believed to have been present in the original earth’s atmosphere, would have ruined any positive results by oxidation or explosion. One evolutionary scientist estimated that the random possibility of forming one particular protein from a soup containing all of the necessary amino acids was 1 in 10200 . If all the atoms of the earth including it’s atmosphere were to react at least once every second for a billion years, there would be far less then 1070 reactions. Therefore to randomly form only one protein is impossible. How would nature accidentally form the 300 to 600 discrete proteins needed to form the first hypothetical cell in the same pre-biotic “soup” even if the “soup” had the advantage of having all of the 20 or more amino acids in the abundant and proportional quantities needed to form these proteins? The elements formed in these and similar experiments are as far away from writing the genetic code for the simplest proposed life forms as random words in alphabet soup are from writing the Encyclopedia Britannica. If the thousands of chemical elements in real cells were present in some “soup”, these would chemically react with each other and eliminate any possibility of forming a cell. The bonding affinities anticipated among chemical elements, which would allow cell structures to naturally form in hypothetical “soups”, have been contradicted by experiment. For example, some evolutionary scientists were disappointed to find that the pre-biotic compounds that might have formed in a warm volcanic pool actually bonded to the mud and were therefore not able to create the simplest of elements that could in turn have served as building blocks for biological compounds. It is beyond all reason to think that chance processes could produce a membrane-encased, self-reproducing, energy synthesizing, metabolizing, living cell. There is no evidence that any stable states exist between the assumed naturalistic formation of proteins and the formation of the first living cells…the fantastic jump in complexity could not have happened even if the entire universe had been filled with proteins. (paraphrased from Brown In the Beginning p.12.) Biogenesis has defied explanation to the degree that some well-reputed evolutionists (including Dawkins) have proposed that first life was seeded on earth by extraterrestrials. This only begs the question of the origin of these extraterrestrials, not to mention their ability to travel across space and time…

Fossils: What Kind of Fossils are found and in what order? Part 15

2010-01-11T15:21:00.000-06:00

Fossils: What Kind of Fossils are found and in what order?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Predictions: Fossils will be relatively rare. Most fossils will be of great antiquity. The fossil record, though incomplete, will reveal abundant evidence of intermediate extinct species and lineages found in bottom to top chronological order in the earth’s strata. Modern species will be quite distinct from primitive species.	Predictions: The fossil record will show that all manner of plants & animals were buried quickly, together, in mud. Groupings of fossils will be hodge-podge with some evidence of habitat and/or water-sorting by body density. Numerous extinctions will be discovered of unusual, apparently unrelatable living species. Plant and animal fossils from different strata will be relatively unchanged and will appear of recent origin. Modern species will distinctly match buried species.
Billions of fossils have been uncovered; hundreds of thousands of these have been catalogued. Millions of tons of fossils are abundantly found around the world. Coal and oil deposits are massive layers of organic fossil material. These often contain not only carbon products from plants, but also animal products including bones, even complete skeletons. New evidence indicates that these hydrocarbon strata were layered quickly. Almost all fossils are known to have been buried in mud. Mass graves with thousands upon thousands of fossils including hundreds of mixed species in one site are not uncommon. Even very fragile species such as jellyfish, leaves and bacteria have been preserved. The famous evolutionary scientist, Stephen Jay Gould, for example in It’s a Wonderful Life catalogues a whole series of previously unknown and unrelated species that were buried catastrophically in the Burgess Shale. No consensus exists among evolutionary scientists on any intermediary fossils. Archaeopteryx, the most sited “intermediary”, is now claimed by some evolutionists to have had fully developed feathers with wings that were capable of flight and is dated at around 135 million years. If these facts are true, then how could Archaeopteryx be an intermediary? It would have been a full-fledged bird that preceded the appearance of many dinosaur species. Unfossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex bones were recently found in China. They had the appearance of being recently buried! The interior of these bones still had flexible tissue intact. Yet, on the prejudice of evolutionary thinking, the bones were “dated” at 65,000,000 years. Fresh, flexible tissue after sixty five million years? Miners and well diggers come across fossils so frequently that these are systematically discarded. One well digger stated to me that he regularly drills into a layer of fresh wood 300 ft down from the surface along the coast of Delaware and Maryland. Museums are so full of fossils that many are warehoused without being catalogued. Marble and granite fossils are so common that we walk on them in our hallways and cut our vegetables on them on our kitchen counters. No known fossil sequence has ever been demonstrated. Only a few have even been proposed. How about Carl Sagan’s preposterous pictorial evolution of the bear into a whale! How many intermediary steps would this require? The most cited sequence, that of the horse, is contested by scientists, and even contradicted in the fossil record with a South American sequence in reverse of that claimed in the North American fossil record. Virtually identical fossils of many living species have been found in all layers of the geologic column including some highly differentiated species. Bat fossils, for example, have been found in the Cambrian layer at the bottom of the geologic strata. Life does not appear in slow incremental stages in the fossil record. Rather, life forms appear so suddenly and so abundantly that evolutionary scientists have dubbed this phenomenon, the “Cambrian explosion”. Hundreds of modern species are so common in the “early layers” that they have been called “living fossils” including: dragonflies, sharks, ginkgo trees, cockroaches, opossums, crawdads and protozoa. Stasis of kinds is the reality of fossil finds. Species appear abruptly and disappear abruptly in the fossil record even over discontinuous strata, over “tens” and even “hundreds of millions” of years with no significant change. “Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of … intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory.” Darwin: Origin of the Species p.227. Note: The fossil evidence against evolution has only increased since Darwin penned this statement.

Vote Scott Brown for Massachusetts State Senate

2010-01-05T15:06:00.000-06:00

If you are hoping that Obamacare gets defeated, you might hope that Scott Brown wins Ted Kennedy's old seat. I think one of the reasons why the democrats are pushing so hard to get this bill through is because they don't want to risk Scott Brown getting elected to stop this nightmarish healthcare bill. Even Governor Schwarzenegger is against the health care bill. The fact is that many governors are against this bill because they realize that this bill won't be good for their states and even many democratic governors are against this bill. Is Obama listening? Of course not because he is not to concerned about what the public is saying. I suggest that Massachusetts elect Scott Brown so the Democratic party isn't in absolute control anymore. Even if you are a Democrat, you should want some accountability and with the Democrats in control of the Senate, House and Legislative branch, there is no accountability. They don't seem to care what the people are saying that is for sure.

Geology: Eons of time, or a great flood? Part 14

2010-01-02T12:40:00.000-06:00

Geology: Eons of time, or a great flood?
The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:	An Intelligent Design - Young Earth/Cataclysm Model:
Prediction: Uniformitarian geological structures will be found all over the earth in coherent, time-sequenced patterns.	Prediction: Cataclysmic non-uniformitarian geological structures will dominate the earth’s surface.
Evolutionary theorists consistently interpret geological layers in terms of hundreds of millions of years. Their model of geological strata presupposes chronological layering. It is divided (from oldest to youngest) into Pre-Cambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras with each of these subdivided into Eons or Periods. Young Earth scientists, on the other hand, site the lack of chronological coherence to the kinds of rocks and fossils found in the supposed layers to be an indicator of a single massive cataclysmic flood. These scientists propose that massive multiple layers thousands of feet thick were quickly formed settling onto all of the great plains of the earth’s crust with chasms being cut during one major drainage event which would have naturally followed the flood. The drainage event would thus explain the great canyons of the earth’s plains. These scientists would propose that there was one ice age subsequent to the flood. They would propose that there is no evidence for the currently held uniformitarian geological frame. The evolutionary model has significant trouble explaining the following anomalies that can easily be explained with a worldwide flood: 1. The model of the geological column in science textbooks is not found complete anywhere on the earth. For example, the Grand Canyon is missing 150 million years of strata. For this model to be true, there must be unknown geologic activity that nicely erases periods of earth’s history by wiping away seemingly random strata allowing for subsequent layers to sit undisturbed in neat pancake fashion on top of others. Missing strata vary from geographical location to geographical location and cover vast areas of the earth’s surface. 2.The determination of a layer is not dependant upon the kind of rocks found in it, nor by any dating technique, much less by the order of the layering with the most recent being on top. No! Rather the age of a stratum is determined by the kind of “trace” fossils found in it. This would be great if there were any validity to the age of the “trace” fossils! 3. Layers are often out of order with the wrong layers on top. In other words often “older” layers are found on top of “younger” ones. In most cases these bizarre reversals show no evidence that the younger layer slipped somehow under the one above it. The layers sit nicely one on top of another sometimes covering many thousands of square miles. The theory of “subduction” was invented to try to explain away the existence of these impossible strata inversions. 4. Strata all over the earth’s surface are found neatly parallel to each other with little indication of millions of years of erosion, of mountain formation, of earth shifting, of earthquake, or of volcanic activity between layers. 5. Polystrate fossils such as tree trunks are neatly found in upright positions on every continent. Evolutionary theory requires that these fossils were positioned across multiple layers through “hundreds of thousands of years” of geologic strata deposition. More realistically these fossils (which are sometimes found upside down) were stuck in deep mud that stratified while the logs were in vertical positions. In other words, all the layers covering these polystrate fossils were layered in a single catastrophic event. 6. Shells, and other ocean fossils are found on the tops of all major mountains. 7. Strata hundreds or even thousands of feet thick are neatly folded together indicating that these were layered together and bent while still plastic like clay. Had they been dry, they would have crumbled in the folding. 8. The dating of layers involves circular reasoning. Trace fossils are used to supply ages for strata. The presumed ages of strata are used to confirm the ages of the trace fossils. Radiometric dating has been found useless to independently date the strata. No other independent measurements are used to confirm these supposed ages. (See sections on radiometric dating, and on fossil evidence.) 9. Even evolutionists indicate that the evidence points to catastrophic events in contradiction to the prediction of uniformitarianism. For example, most evolutionists agree that the dinosaurs died in a catastrophic event when a meteor hit the earth. Neo-evolutionists propose at least 4 worldwide catastrophic events. Such events, however, would cause mass extinction accompanied by severe and radical changes to the global environment alternatively causing: tsunamis; deluge; earthquakes; volcanic activity; heating; atmospheric shading; freezing; the release of toxic gas over the whole earth; greenhouse effects; ice ages, etc. Each geologic catastrophe would set evolution back tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of years and require efficient evolutionary processes to re-establish newly derived species from the poorly adapted survivors. 10. Under such conditions, it is hard to explain the stasis of species. How is it that certain species show virtually no change over hundreds of millions of years in light of the dramatic changes to the earth’s environment?

More Pictures of Australia and the Three Sisters

2009-12-30T22:03:00.000-06:00

These are some more pictures of Australia. We went on a tour here to visit the capital of Australia and to visit the famous Jenolan Caves. The picture of the three mountains is called the three sisters. The Three Sisters are famous rock formations near the town of Katoomba. The legend says that these sisters fell in love with three men from another tribe. The marriage was forbidden so the elder turned these sisters into rock.

Is Ben Stein's Documentary True-Expelled No Intelligence Allowed

2009-12-24T23:55:00.000-06:00

People have attacked me because I have criticized science. You better not question the theory of evolution. The Atheist do not like their theory questioned and Ben Stein has demonstrated that in his documentary "Expelled No Intelligence Allowed". Ben Stein interviews the Atheists and the Intelligent Design people to get at the root of the issue. Of course, all of the Atheists are up in arms about it, but the fact is that true science is suppressed and replaced by false science. You must see the documentary if you want to get at the root of the Creationist/Evolutionist issue. Richard Dawkins would rather believe that we were created by Aliens than by God, and he thinks that the Creationist are the stupid ones. One Atheist said this,
"This film is entirely and totally dishonest from start to finish. If this transparent fraud is what the Creationist crowd has to offer, I have utmost confidence in my position that reality and science offers the best hope for the growth and inner peace for mankind."

What Creationist have to offer is true science. This Atheist obviously has no evidence to defend his faith, so he just attacks the film instead. He probably hasn't even seen it.

External Evidence for the Existence of Jesus

2009-12-13T15:46:00.000-06:00

At the Atheists website, http://www.athieists.org/, they discuss the evidence concerning the existence of Jesus. They attempt to discount all the evidence a Christian might give for the evidence that Jesus existed.

***************************************
The Atheist will say:

***************************************
1) “…all the knowledge which the Rabbis had of Jesus was obtained by them from the Gospels. Seeing that Jews, even in the present more critical age, take it for granted that the figure of a real man stands behind the Gospel narrative, one need not be surprised if, in the second century, Jews did not think of questioning that assumption. It is certain, however, that some did question it. For Justin, in his Dialogue with Trypho, represents the Jew Trypho as saying, ‘ye follow an empty rumour and make a Christ for yourselves." "If he was born and lived somewhere he is entirely unknown.’”

2) Josephus, whose Antiquities of the Jews was written in 93 called Jesus the Messiah and no Pharisee would have called Jesus the Messiah.

3) They mention Tacitus by saying, “Tacitus himself never again alludes to the Neronian persecution of Christians in any of his voluminous writings, and no other Pagan authors know anything of the outrage either.”

This is all they discuss concerning external evidence for the existance of Jesus.

***************************************

The Christians would say:
***************************************
1) First we have the church fathers who wrote the New Testament. We have many apostles writing the New Testament and delivering those writings to the Churches.

2) Jospehus was a Jewish historian. He worked under Roman authority and took great care not to offend the Romans. His writings about the Jewish wars proved highly accurate and were corrobated by Tacitus and archaeological excavations at Masada. The Atheist spends time discrediting this evidence because he was a Pharisee and he wouldn’t say something like that. How do we know that? They would say that he is just quoting from the Christians. This is there argument for everything.

3) Then we have the writings of Tacitus. Tacitus said, "Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular." The Annals, book XV 44.

Tacitus confirmed as well that Christians were named after Jesus and that they were spreading throughout the Roman Empire.

The Atheist spend a lot of time trying to convince themselves that Tacitus wouldn't say what he said. It is like they spend there time trying to make conclusions that they could not possibly know because they don’t want to believe in the greatest man that ever lived.

4) We have the Pliny the Younger (which isn’t mentioned on the Atheist website) and he describes the early Christian worship practices in a letter to the Emperor Trajan.

5) The Emperor Trajan responded to Pliny and said,
"They are not to be sought out; if they are denounced and proved guilty, they are to be punished, with this reservation, that whoever denies that he is a Christian and really proves it--that is, by worshiping our gods--even though he was under suspicion in the past, shall obtain pardon through repentance." Pliny the Younger, The Letters, 10:97.

6) We have Thallus who described the darkness that followed Jesus’ crucifixion. (Those writings aren’t in existence today, but they are in other writings. This information isn’t quoted on the Atheist website)

7) We have Suetonius who confirmed Acts 18:2. (This isn’t talked about on the Atheist website)

8) The Talmud which are Jewish laws and traditions also gives insight about Jesus.

9) Lucian of Samosata a Greek writer in the second-century loved to offer sarcastic remarks about Christianity.

In Conclusion:

If the Atheist wants to believe that Jesus never existed then they might as well believe that the earth is flat too. They are both equally stupid. They don’t spend there time trying to prove that other historical writers never existed, why do they try and spend time trying to prove that Jesus never existed? They should be spending there time trying to see if Jesus is who he said he was, not that he existed. From this external evidence, we know that Jesus was a Jewish teacher, which many people believed in, that some people believed he was the Messiah, that he was rejected by the Jewish leaders and that he was crucified under Pontius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius. That is a lot of information given to us about a man that never existed. To conclude that Jesus didn't even exist we would have to conclude that all the writers of the New Testament were lying or didn't exists or weren't eye witnesses of anything. We would have to conclude that all of the early Christians (The Atheist admits that the Christian Church spread rapidly) were manipulated or deceived into believing a lie. My question then would be, which one is harder to believe, the Atheist view point, or the Christian view point? If you think the Atheist makes a better argument, then good luck. Nobody will ever convince you of anything no matter how much evidence is presented.

Some of this information is taken from this wesite: http://www.answers2prayer.org/bible_studies/new_testament/external_evidence.html

Mutations: Are they frequent enough for evolution? Part 13

2009-11-30T22:40:00.000-06:00

The Naturalistic Evolutionary Model:

Prediction:
Positive mutations will be frequent.

An Intelligent Design:

Predictions:
Mutations will be infrequent and almost universally destructive.

Self-correcting capabilities to the DNA structure will be observed and described in descendants of some mutated organisms.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

There is no evidence for frequent positive mutations. Negative mutations are relatively infrequent. Evolutionists insist that positive mutations relative to total mutations are unlikely to surpass 1 in 1000. Therefore if there is only one positive mutation in 1000, what is the likelihood that the positive mutation would become predominant in a species, or in a sub-species? Will it be a dominant gene that will be passed on to future generations? Rather, isn’t it more likely that the negative mutations would contaminate the species leading to death and extinction? And if we extrapolate and assume that there is only 1 mutation in 1000 progeny, then what is the chance that the 1 positive mutation in a 1,000,000 offspring will lead to a dominant trait to be inherited by a whole population and that subsequent or even concurrent positive mutations would radiate to entire populations, or that geographic isolation will occur just to the subsets of a population that have the inheritance potential for further differentiation?

All observed mutations cause deformation. Most lead to infertility and/or death. Occasionally mutations are self-corrected in subsequent generations revealing designed healing capabilities.

TriCare Reserve Select Benefits

2009-11-11T15:26:00.000-06:00

I have found it quite difficult understanding the benefits for TriCare Reserve Select. So here is what I found out:

1) If you are in the reserves, you should qualify for this plan.
2) You have a 1,000 max deductible per family. What this means is that after you have paid 1,000 per year, you do not have to pay the 15% deductible or any co-payment for prescriptions.
3) You have a 15% deductible for outpatient cost, or a $15.65 per day ($25 minimum charge) for inpatient cost using a network provider. After your annual deductible is met, you do not have to pay the 15% deductible anymore.
4) You have a $300 deductible for a family a year. The $300 will also apply to your $1,000 max deductible for family.
5) You only have to pay $3.00 for generic or $9.00 for non-generic drugs and this amount gets applied to your $300 deductible. You do not have to pay 15% for prescriptions.

The good news is that this plan is currently $180, but will be going to $197 in January. My current companies ETNA plan is over $1400 for a family and has a $3000 max cap for family. I think that is even per person which is huge compared to the $1,000 max cap for this plan.

Saturday Night Live Skit and Obama

2009-11-02T22:48:00.000-06:00

This is a great skit about Obama's Presidency. What has Obama done for us while he has been in office.?

1) He promised to close Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. (They are nowhere close to actually closing Gitmo.)

2) Reversed restrictions on stem cell research. (Stem cell research was already going on and it only allowed federal money to be used for embryonic stem cell research.)

3) Reduced discrimination based on gender, age, religion and race. (this created more lawsuits, and discrimination has increased since Obama was elected.)

4) Created a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners. (There are still many people foreclosing, and the people who actually have been paying their mortgage are getting penalized. Only the irresponsible are rewarded, not the responsible. That has always been the democratic way.)

5) Create a Stimulus plan with Joe Biden as the Overseer to increase jobs. (Since this has happened, the unemployment rate went to double digits when the Obama adminstration said unemployment would decrease.)

6) Directed military leaders to end the War in Iraq. (This hasn't happened yet, and was the same plan Bush had.)

7) Create a socialized health care plan. (This still hasn't happened, and I am hoping doesn't happen. You will get 5 years in prison if you don't purchase this plan. What a great idea. They will conduct health care raids to arrest people who don't have health insurance. And this will be our Christmas present according to Pelosi.)

Don't forget, liberalism is a mental disorder!!!!

Junk Science and Evolution

2009-10-25T16:51:00.000-06:00

I noticed that my blog was placed in some Atheist forum on facebook to get other Atheists opinion whether scientist lie when it comes to their evolutionary theory. It is amazing to me how blinded people are when it comes to science. Do scientist lie? Have scientist ever lied? I do believe that scientist have their own agenda just like politicians. It is a common practice for politicians to lie, so why isn't it common practice for evolutionist to lie? Are the evolutionist completely up front with their evolutionary theory?

First, it is common knowledge that there is a lot of junk science floating around. John Stossel did a series on Junk Science on ABC in the late 1990s. Then there is global warming which is another fraud. When you have people like Al Gore coming out with documentaries about science, you have to wonder about the legitimacy of the science he is talking about especially since his video has known errors in it. One person on my blog said, "When did science become political?" Science has always been political. In the past, scientist have used everything from craniometry to phrenology to test that blacks were inferior to whites. When an environmentalist or another organization wants support, what do they do? They try and get science to back them up. If you can claim that it is scientific, nobody can dispute it.

The theory of Evolution is just as controversial and political as any other form of science. Scientist have an agenda when it comes to proving their theory as well. Since they are trying to get grants renewed, and win the noble prize, some scientist probably will do anything. There is also discrimination against any scientist who doesn't hold to the theory of evolution. So most scientist who might have a different theory won't even want to express it for fear of reprisal. This website lists the top ten junk science moments from Al Gore's fraud to the Stem cell controversy.

Now, you can blindly follow science that teaches man is worthless, that man just evolved and has no purpose, and that there isn't anything more intelligent than you, or you might sit back and realize that there is something more to life than living and dying. One person posted on my blog that if there wasn't religion, everything would be better. Do you remember the Rodney King riots? That is what the world would be like without God. God brings peace and love to the world, and Atheist brings selfishness and greed. If there wasn't any supreme being laying down the rules and laws for man, this world would be more chaotic then it is today. Most of the rules and laws that we abide by came originally from the Bible first.

Don't be blinded thinking that science is absolute because scientific theories are developed by man and many times there is a counter theory that might even make more sense and be more scientific.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as
a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
1 Peter 5:8, KJV

Health Care Options vs. Obama Care

2009-10-21T21:41:00.000-05:00

Conservatives are interested in health reform just as much as the democrats. The only problem is that we are concerned that handing our health coverage over to the government is going to make it worse. The company that I work for just got hit with a 37% health insurance increase which is insane. We definitely need health reform, but can Obama handle it better than private industry? What has the government actually handled correctly? There are many other options then having the government take complete control.

There should be other options that should be considered such as a Single-Payer plan like Canada health insurance, or the Nonprofit Multi-Payer plan like France. Maybe we should look at a Health Savings account, individual mandate plan or a Tax Credit plan. Have we thought about a Buy-in Option plan? You can read about these different plans here.

So why is Obama in such a rush to push his health care agenda? I find health insurance to be quite complicated and even Obama's bill is already over 1000 pages long written by lawyers. I am sure that most people wouldn't even understand it if they did read it.

I guess my big problem is that I don't trust the government because the government hasn't been looking out for the people for a long time. They are only interested in filling their own pockets and we see that over and over again. If social security is going bankrupt, then shouldn't we be concerned that maybe 50 years from now our government health care will also be bankrupt.

I think the government needs to take its time to reform health care and be conscious of what will be best for the people.

The Big Bang Fact or Fiction

2009-10-14T20:26:00.000-05:00

George Wald, an evolutionist, states, "When it comes to the origin of life, there are only two possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved one hundred years ago, but that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance!" ("The Origin of Life," Scientific American, 191:48. May 1954).

(H.S. Lipson, Professor of Physics, University of Manchester, UK, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physics Bulletin, vol. 31, May 1980, pg.138).
H.S. Lipson who was quoted as saying that the Evidence indicating Intelligent Design is abundant and overwhelming. He went on to say that evolutionists have zealously sought evidence to validate their theory and nothing has yet to stand up under the close scrutiny of an in depth scientific evaluation.

People have been persuaded to think that evolution is a fact, and there isn't any evidence against evolution. One atheist asked me (in another post) why so many scientist believe in evolution. My answer is this, "Because the evolutionist ran a good campaign". The evolutionist have been successful in influencing the media and our educational institutions by convincing people that science has proven everything. People constantly use the term, "it is scientific", and therefore it must be true. The fact is that evolution has so many holes in it that the atheist are embarrassed. However, this is the only theory they have so they keep believing it.

Some of the problems with the big bang:
http://www.metaresearch.org/cosmology/top10BBproblems.asp

1) The element abundance predictions used in the Big Bang require too many adjustable paramters to make them work.

2) The universe has too much large scale structure to form in a time as short as 10-20 billion years.

3) If the open universe we see today is extrapolated back near the beginning, the ratio of the actual density of matter in the universe to the critical density must differ from unity by just a part in 1059. Any larger deviation would result in a universe already collapsed on itself or already dissipated.

Rush Purchasing the Rams

2009-10-14T18:04:00.000-05:00

I personally think that it is pretty insane for Rush Limbaugh to be dropped from seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Is it only because Rush is a conservative and what does Al Sharpton have to do with Rush purchasing the Rams anyway? Al Sharpton says that Rush has been divisive, but what about him? Isn't Al Sharpton one of the most devisive people on the planet? He is the biggest racist out there. Everytime there is any opportunity for Al to get his name in the paper, he is there. Personally, I think Al Sharpton should mind his own business. Rush should have the option to purchase the team just like everybody else without some idiot trying to call him a racist just because he is a conservative.
