Misc. Quotes for Wednesday, June 15, 2016

"While leftist historians have always derided the era following the war between the states [U.S. Civil War, 1861-1865] as a time of corruption and complacency, no single generation in human history raised living standards more rapidly, absorbed and assimilated comparable waves of immigration, settled more vast and remote frontiers,  built as many new states and glittering cities, or brought a nation so quickly to the top of world power...The working class, in fact, benefited mightily from the explosive growth of the Gilded Age. ...between 1860 and 1890 real wages [adjusted for inflation] increased by a staggering 50 percent in America." - The 10 Big Lies About America, by Michael Medved

"How are traditional Americans, jealous of the liberty and proud of their heritage of independence, to be persuaded to give up their national sovereignty for a seat at the table of Strobe Talbott's New World Order? By stealth. In 1974, Richard N. Gardiner, later Clinton's ambassador to Spain, echoed Brazinski's warning not to awaken the sleeping giant of American patriotism but to proceed by subtlety and indirection: 'The House of World Order will have to be built from the bottom up...An end run about national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.' 'Piece by piece' our sovereignty is being surrendered. By accession to NAFTA, GATT, the UN, the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, America has ensnared itself in a web that restricts its freedom of action, diminishes its liberty, and siphons off its wealth. Most Americans do not understand this." - The Great Betrayal - How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy, by Patrick Buchanan


“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past..."
- David Rockefeller, Memoirs

" DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead

“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity.”
― Michael Denton, Evolution: Still A Theory in Crisis (2016)

Scientific Study Backs Intelligent Design

Scientific Study Backs Intelligent Design - wnd.com

Excerpt from this article:
A new peer-reviewed scientific study challenges a common argument for the Darwinian theory of evolution by showing that so-called “redundant” units in the human genome actually have highly specialized functions. Casey Luskin, an attorney with graduate degrees in both science and law, explained in a report published at Evolution News and Views that evolutionists have generally assumed that synonymous codons – a sequence of three consecutive nucleotides that is part of the genetic code – are functionally equivalent. A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids. Luskin is research coordinator for the Center for Science and Culture

New Record for Human Brain: Fastest Time to See an Image

New Record for Human Brain: Fastest Time to See an Image - ca.news.yahoo.com

Excerpt from this article:

The human brain can achieve the remarkable feat of processing an image seen for just 13 milliseconds, scientists have found...Viewers successfully identified things like a "picnic" or "smiling couple" even after the briefest of glimpses...That's what the brain is doing all day long — trying to understand what we're looking at." [10 Odd Facts About the Brain]
-----------------------------------------------

It takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution. I have long thought - and still believe this - that the one irrefutable argument against evolution is the genetic code: DNA and RNA (please listen to Astonishing DNA Complexity Demolishes Neo-Darwinism, by Alex Williams).  But a close second is enzymes.

Those who teach evolution say that with enough time anything is possible. Put 100 monkeys in front of 100 typewriters for a billion years and they will eventually write Shakespeare, or so they say! But "time" is not a friend of evolution (see Time: No Friend to Evolution, by David Catchpoole). Here is an interesting article on how long it would take for a biological reaction to occur without the aid of enzymes:

Without Enzyme, Biological Reaction Essential to Life Takes 2.3 Billion Years

As I've said in previous blog posts, I can understand why public school teachers and college professors teach evolution. They have bills to pay and careers to look after. Being true to their calling of searching for truth and knowledge is not as important as watching over their bank account. But what I can't understand is why their students don't have absolute contempt for them and close their ears (and minds) every time they speak!

'Less than 1 in 479 Million': Mathematician Calculates the improbability of Coniving the Creation Account

'Less than 1 in 479 Million': Mathematician Calculates the improbability of Coniving the Creation Account - christiannews.net

Excerpt from this article:

“'Think of the problem like this,' Hunter wrote. “Take a deck of cards. Keep just one suit—let’s say hearts. Toss out the ace. Hand the remaining twelve cards to a one year old child. Ask him/her to hand you the cards one at a time. In order. What are the chances said toddler will start with the two and give them all to you in order right up to the king?' And yet, says Hunter, that scenario illustrates how accurate the Bible’s creation account is."

Guess Who Still Believes in a Flat Earth?

Guess Who Still Believes in a Flat Earth? - creationmoments.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Though evolutionists get a kick out of calling Bible-believing Christians "flat-earthers," hardly anyone throughout history has believed the Earth to be flat. The truth is, the Bible says our planet is round, so the flat-earth myth is kept alive to this day only by evolutionists!"

The Final Nail in Evolution's Coffin

They say a word to the wise is sufficient. If that is so, then Ken Ham's One-Minute podcast should be enough to convince the wise among us to reject the theory of evolution once and for all:

The Mathematical Proof for Christianity Is Irrefutable

The Mathematical Proof for Christianity Is Irrefutable - christianpost.com

"It is impossible that Christianity is not God's revelation of truth to man. Simply impossible. The math proves it beyond question. It doesn't take faith to believe that one plus one equals two, and it doesn't take faith to identify the religion which has mathematical certainty in its corner.
God didn't have to give us mathematical proof of His existence, but He did it anyway. God didn't have to give us proof of Christianity, but He chose to do so. And God didn't have to give us proof of His love for us, but that is exactly what He did. The proof is irrefutable."

Creationist Ken Ham Calls Out Atheists for Intolerance, Self-Righteousness

Creationist Ken Ham Calls Out Atheists for Intolerance, Self-Righteousness - christianpost.com

"Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum has posted a video of atheist Internet users who are planning on protesting his participation at a homeschool convention in Texas. In a two-hour video chat titled 'Home School Abuse by Creationists,' the atheist members talk about their opposition to Ham's planned speech at the Texas Home School Coalition Convention on Aug. 1–3.  'Every pastor, Christian leader, homeschooler, teenager, Christian parent, and, in fact, all Christians need to see this video chat featuring a number of very intolerant atheists (and some are hateful and angry),' the creationist writes about the video, which he breaks down into separate parts in his blog post to address the various criticism thrown at him."

----

What I like best about Ken Ham is that he still accepts the Bible as the final authority on matters of science. Would that all Christians followed his lead. His speech, Six Days and the Eisegesis Problem should be required listening for every student in Bible colleges around the world. For atheists and Christians who are struggling with the theory of evolution, I would recommend the following audio recording:

"For in Six Days the Lord Created the Heavens and the Earth" - Exodus 20:11

 The 'God Particle,' or as scientist call it, Higgs Boson, is in the news again today (see New Evidence Strengthens Case that Scientists Have Discovered a Higgs Boson ). It has been called The God Particle  because some believe it is what caused the 'Big Bang' to occur some 15 billion years ago.

Perhaps some definitions are in order:

Big Bang Theory: "In the begining there was nothing. Then nothing exploded, and created everything we see." That is the Big Bang theory in a nut shell.

Higgs Boson (aka The God Particle):  Is the 'Nothing' that exploded!

Or something like that!

I believe in the Big Bang, and it's not a theory. Some time around 6 to 10 thousand years ago, God Spoke, and "Bang!" everything we see came into existence!  Actually, while God could have done that in less than a second, he chose to take 6 literal, 24-hour days to do it.

Before you laugh that off, why don't you listen to Ken Ham talk about this very important - and fascinating - subject (I think you may find this podcast more interesting than the above article on the God Particle!):

Welcome to the Flat Earth Society!

Yes, there is a Flat Earth Society. Here is how Flat Earth Wiki describes their website:

"This website is dedicated to unraveling the true mysteries of the universe and demonstrating that the earth is flat and that Round Earth doctrine is little more than an elaborate hoax."


Apparently, the members of the Flat Earth Society haven't heard Stanly Freberg's song, It's A Round Round World!


It is a myth that Christians used to believe the world was flat prior to Columbus. Here is what Jeffrey Burton Russell has to say about this myth:

"No doubt some Christians did believe the Earth was flat, but not any educated people. A flat Earth seams to have been commonly believed in very ancient times. The ancient Egyptians believed the Earth was flat. But most Greek and Roman philosophers and geographers - for example, Pythagoras (570-495 B.C.), Eratosthenes (276-194 B.C.), and Ptolemy (A.D. 85-165)  - were confident that the Earth was round. Eratosthenes even measured its circumference to within 15 percent of the modern figure. So what happened? Did Christianity take over and suppress this ancient knowledge? Not at all. Over a hundred Christian writers discussed the shape of the Earth from the third to the fifteenth century A.D. During this time, a period of twelve hundred years, there were just two who asserted the Earth was flat and more than a hundred that asserted it was round." (Exposing Myths about Christianity, by Jeffrey Burton Russel, pages 142, 143).

 The Bible never says the Earth is flat. To the contrary, in Isaiah 40:22 the biblical writer talks about 'he that sitteth on the circle of the Earth."

The day will come when all myths will be exposed - including the myth that the earth was formed by some Big Bang 15 billion years ago.  The Bible says:  "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." - Genesis 1:1.

The Cambrian Explosion - The Nail in the Coffin of Evolution!

In my last post I took a look at the eye (pun intended!) and provided some links and commentary which I hope get people thinking about how ridiculous it is to think that the human eye could have evolved by random mutation over millions of years.

In this post I simply want to provide links to 2 You Tube videos which I believe should be the death blow to evolution:

The Cambrian Explosion Destroys Evolution, by the Institute for Creation Research
The Cambrian Explosion - The Old Problem for Darwinists

Excerpt from God and the Astronomers, by NASA Astronomer Robert Jastrow

"Theologians generally are delighted with the proof that the universe had a beginning, but astronomers are curiously upset. It turns out that the scientist behaves the way the rest of us do when our beliefs are in conflict with the evidence...
 For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

The Eye and the Snowflake

The Eye and the Snowflake

I watched 2 You Tube videos on the eye tonight.  The first video was by an evolutionist. The second video was by a creationist.

The first video was put out by DNA Learning Center. It is titled The Eye and Irreducible Complexity - Creationism Debunked . The lady in this video tries to make the case that it is perfectly reasonable to believe that the eye evolved - step by step - over millions of years into the complex organ that it is today. I was not convince, but then it would take a lot to convince me - at the very least, some hard evidence. And that was lacking in this video.

But what really was lacking is any mention of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The people in this video talk about the eye evolving - little by little - over millions of years, as if it were perfectly natural for things to go from simple to complex, from unorganized to organized. Unfortunately, science tells us a different story.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics refutes the idea that things go from simple to complex and from unorganized to organized. See the You Tube video, The Second Law of Thermodynamics Broken by Evolutionists.

And the idea that 'random mutations' create more functional organisms is certainly not supported by the facts. Random mutations are almost always harmful to the organism. See the You Tube video Mutation is a Destroyer, by NephilimFree.

I don't expect this short post to convince atheists and evolutionists that there is a God. The Bible says that "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17). And so while I hope everyone reading this post will take the time to watch the videos I have linked to, what I would really like them to do is click on the following link and listen to that Word of God preached by that latter day Puritan Charles Haddon Spurgeon:
