School Bullies + Liberals = Indoctrination!

The Real School Bullies

by

Rob Hood

For a number of years the homosexual movement has been gaining progress in the secular world and in my own opinion, now owns Hollywood and the mainstream media due to the persistence of far left groups who endorse gay groups and support them.

Now that the so called gay rights groups and the far left secular groups have taken over Hollywood and most of the world, they now wish to take over the one last remaining obstacle standing in their way - public schools. Public schools are not the same as they once were. Believe it or not, but public schools were at one time, actually used for teaching students about math, science, reading, etc. Now schools still teach students the fundamentals, but have added much more to the curriculum than should be permitted by tax paying parents.

Schools today stand as a platform for the sole purpose of brainwashing younger and younger children into actually believing that there is no moral and absolute right and wrong. Sex education has more than taken over some learning institutions. Even now, the teaching of acceptance of homosexuality is a must is some school districts. I can understand why the far left and gay rights activists feel the need to teach young children of these things. You see, if they can get into the minds of our children and program them at an early age to accept the world’s secular view, then the children will grow up being “tolerant” of what the rest of society deems immoral and wrong.

In short, far left groups and gay rights activists are indoctrinating your children into shunning the truth of right and wrong, and exchanging truth for a lie. The fact of the matter is that some one who claims to be gay was not born that way. Certainly something in their childhood might have, under minute circumstances, caused them to feel this way.

We now have reports that parents do not have rights in the matter of what their children learn at school which is absolutely absurd. As far as the upcoming “Day of Silence” is concerned, many conservatives are encouraging parents to take their children out of school on that day.

According to the group, Concerned Women for America, in their last letter, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Network (GLSEN) is actually pushing grade school curriculum that promotes cross dressing that was created by a homosexual group at the Buena Vista Elementary school in San Francisco (I’m not surprised), which includes a lesson based on a so called “children’s book” called Jesse’s Dream Skirt. Jesse dreams of a skirt and his mom helps him make the skirt to wear to daycare ( that some mother, eh?) where he is made fun of, but eventually another boy, Mike comes forward and admits he likes wearing skirts too. In the end the children like Jesse’s skirt.This is only a work of fiction, but gives a poor example to children. They need to learn that the sexes are equal, but are also different.

In reality parents have been banned from school functions because these groups are afraid of the parents finding out what is being taught behind closed doors. As a matter of fact, it goes so far that a mother in St. Louis, Missouri was ejected from a pro-homosexual school assembly by means of an armed guard. This woman was banned from this assembly because she thought the material was inappropriate for her child. Again, parental rights rejected!

We hear a lot about pedophiles these days, but the University of Minnesota Press has published a book called Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex. The book actually talks about how small children can partake of children and even goes so far as to advocate that America adopt a law allowing sex between adults and children as young as 12 years old.

The famous author and talk show host Bill O’Reilly often talks about “secular progressive” culture destroying America and he is right. I don’t agree with Mr. O’Reilly all the time, but I do agree with him on this issue. Far left groups and gay rights activist groups are destroying a nation that once had some common sense along with some Biblical morality to compensate it. These groups are forgetting that sex was to be between an man and a woman who is married. Period!

There are things we can all do to counter this awful time that children are introduced to. First we can pray about the situation. if at all possible I personally recommend homeschool or private Christian schools for children where this type of negative material is not allowed. I know that private schools are expensive and many cannot afford them not can they homeschool, their children, but if you talk to your kids on a daily basis and look at their homework, get involved in their school, assignments, you might pick up on some things that is inappropriate. Then you can take it to the teacher and school. if that fails, you can always teach your children at home the difference between what is wrong and right and why. Sunday School and church as well as Bible Drill are some ways of teaching your children Biblical morality that they will carry for the rest of their life and these teachings might be all that is needed to counter the secular culture that bombards the youth of today

Set your kids down and talk to them about their school homework and other school related items and make sure they understand why you and the church teach them one thing and the school teaches differently. Make sure that your children know the Bible and can debate the secular world with scripture when they are faced with these situations. I remember once in college when I was taking Physical Science Survey I, our instructor got to taking about the Big Bang, evolution, and the like. One girl spoke up and said that his little speech was nice, but she didn’t buy it. He debated with her for a few moment but soon gave in when I also agreed with the girl as well as two other students. The study of scripture can help in these debates.

I don’t know what will happen in the future when the so-called “hate crimes legislation” could pass. This is the type of legislation that can make preaching Romans chapter one illegal. I feel that if this becomes law of the land, then many will be going to prison for the name of Jesus and I may be among them because there is no way that I will betray my faith because someone else wishes sinful living to be the law of the land. neither should you. Remember to stand strong and proud and to not betray your faith and give in to the whims of the secular world as they are trying to destroy traditional faith and replace it with secular immorality.

UN Officials Call for Child Homosexual /Gender Change Rights Worldwide

We report today on another attempt to distort international law in service to
radical ideas. A handful of UN officials in league with a radical homosexual
rights group, that until recently had been denied accreditation to the UN for
its connection to pedophilia groups, have issued demands at the UN Human Rights
Council that international law be expanded to include sex change operations and
the free sexual expression of children.

Prayer...

As you may have heard Democratic Senator and Presidential Candidate John Edwards’ wife has a recurrence of cancer since she was last diagnosed in 2004. I urge you as fellow Christians to look past the political differences and conservative versus liberal differences and pray for this family.

The Bible teaches us to pray for our fellow brethren and in this crucial time he Edwards’s family needs strength that on the Lord can give. I also urge you to pray that Mr. Edwards might come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through this struggle.

Issues That Matter in America...

In today’s society we are seeing an ever increasing hate for traditional
thinkng Americans - particularly conservative Christians. In my book, Issues
That Matter: America’s Moral Battleground I lay out what is wrong with the
most controversial issues facing our great land today. We see a rampant
abortion rate with virtually no end in sight. We are seeing a growing
hostility towards beliver’s who stand up for traditional marriage and for
creation rather than the man made myth of evolution and millions of years.

As a Southern Baptist, I hold dearly my belief that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God who was born of a virgin, died, and was ressurected on the third day
just as the prophet Isaiah said He would. Yet, his belief is under constant
attack by Hollywood producers who, ever once in while, claim great findings
to disprove the Bible. Then we all find out the finding were false and the
whole thing was created for financial advancement. 

I want to invite you to obtain a copy of my book today and help fight the
culture war that rages in America this day. There are great oranizations out
there that fight daily for religious freedom and to stop abortion, save
traditional marriage, and proclaim the gospel message at the same time. I
name the most popular of these in the last pages of Issues That Matter. 

I urge you to get a copy today and tell a friend as well so that we can
fight the culture war and proclaim the gospel together as fellow believers.
As we approach the Easter season, my book would ge a great gift for a friend
as it contains a chapter on salvation through Jesus Christ.

You can buy a copy at my website, www.standfortruthonline.com in the upper
left hand corner or you can get it at this address:

Evolution-Information problem...

: How does molecules-to-man evolution have an information problem?

A: Information is the real heart of the problem for people who believe that life could have arisen by natural processes. All life is built up on the basis of information. This information is contained in our DNA—the molecule of heredity. It’s like a series of letters and a code to read them.

A good comparison would be the Morse code. If you understand the code with dots and dashes representing letters of the alphabet, you can read something that’s put in Morse code.

If evolution were true, then the very first organism had to have information in the form of letters and a code. Evolutionists say that as organisms evolved, new information had to be continually added. In other words, millions of times over millions of years, new information would have to be generated by random processes and added to the genetic system.

Now here’s the clincher. No one has ever documented even just one instance of new information arising from matter by itself. All observations in science show clearly that information only comes from previously existing information, and ultimately from an intelligence. And this fits with creation—not evolution.

For further reading on the information problem with molecules-to-man evolution, see Information Theory @ http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/infotheory.asp

A Fresh Face to Lead America...

America Needs a Fresh Face
By Nathan Tabor

One lesson that I’ve drawn from the 2008 Presidential campaign is that America needs a fresh face.  As much as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may try to portray themselves as agents of change, they so monopolize the media spotlight that many of us have already grown weary of them and their rhetoric.
If Americans want positive change, they should look to someone other than the political media darlings.  They should look to Duncan Hunter.  (Full disclosure: I’ve recently begun consulting with Hunter for his internet campaign.)

If you do not live on the West Coast and you’re not a seasoned observer of Congress, you might well be asking, “Duncan Who?” But in this political season, it is a distinct advantage to not be part of the media-appointed old guard. 

If you’re concerned about national security, Duncan Hunter should be your guy.  For more than a quarter century, he has worked diligently to ensure that America has a military it can be proud of.  He knows first-hand the importance of a strong military, having served in Vietnam.  As part of the House Armed Services Committee, Hunter has worked diligently to ensure that our military is well-equipped to defend America and its interests anywhere in the world. 
Hunter is also well-equipped to take on the challenge of dealing with our nation’s immigration problems.  While he has a heart for the plight of immigrants, he realizes that America’s borders must be secure for the safety and well-being of all our citizens.  He sees illegal immigration for what it is—a dangerous practice which represents a primary threat to our national security.

Duncan Hunter is a true-blue conservative who puts the Republicans-In-Name-Only candidates to shame.  Visit his website and you’ll quickly see that he is no shrinking violet when it comes to one of the most contentious issues of our day—legal abortion.  Hunter states, “I would amend the U.S. Constitution and provide blanket protection to all unborn children from the moment of conception by prohibiting any state or federal law that denies the personhood of the unborn.”

Hunter has also introduced legislation known as the “Right to Life Act,” which he says would “legally define ‘personhood’ as the moment of conception and, therefore, guarantee all constitutional rights and protections, including life, to the unborn without utilizing a constitutional amendment.” Hunter has also co-sponsored legislation which would bar someone from transporting a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion…prohibit reproductive cloning…and require abortionists to let pregnant women know that children aborted 20 weeks after conception can feel pain.  If he can feel the pain of the unborn child, Hunter fits my definition of a “compassionate conservative.”

Hunter is also committed to helping to preserve and protect the American family through his support of a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman.  As Hunter simply yet eloquently states, “I firmly believe that children need the unique influence offered by both a father and a mother.”
And, unlike some of the spendaholics who are currently seeking the White House, Hunter is truly committed to a balanced federal budget—one crafted according to the philosophy of economic growth rather than tax-and-spend liberalism. 

Despite lacking the war chest of a McCain or a Giuliani, Duncan Hunter may yet prove to be the dark horse candidate in the Republican primary. Hunter won the Arizona straw poll, and then went on to edge out Romney for third place in the South Carolina poll. It may be early to make predictions, but Hunter’s candidacy seems to have touched off genuine excitement in conservative circles.

Duncan Hunter may not have the best name recognition in the Presidential pack—but, after a careful review of all the candidates, their backgrounds and positions, I firmly believe he is the one who deserves the most attention.

Resist Retreat

While many in Congress apparently don’t have the stomach to battle the Islamic terrorists in Iraq, they don’t hesitate to take up a fight with the head of the U.S. military over his opposition to a proposed law that would allow homosexuals to openly serve in the U.S. military. In an interview in which Gen. Peter Pace, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, was asked about a bill introduced by Rep. Marty Meehan (D-Mass.), Pace said that homosexuality, like adultery (both of which violate military law), is immoral. Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) was quick to fire off a response saying he strongly disagreed with the General’s statement that “homosexuality is immoral.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) joined the anti-Pace volley, saying, “We don’t need moral judgment from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.” Even administration officials, like Defense Secretary Robert Gates, signaled retreat from the General when he said “personal opinion really doesn’t have a place here.” The Washington Post accused Gen. Pace of “bigotry.” Many Americans do not know that military personnel have a separate set of laws that govern their conduct; it is called the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Under the UCMJ homosexual behavior, like adultery, is criminal. It is immoral. The outrage should not be focused at Gen. Pace for defending the law, it should be directed at Rep. Meehan and others who in the midst of a war want to make political correctness a priority and try and turn the military into a laboratory for their liberal social ideas. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Pace should not have to apologize for defending the law; rather, he should be applauded for upholding it. We urge his colleagues and the administration to resist the urge to retreat and instead follow his brave leadership.

An "F" for America?

Author Gives Americans an “F”

By Sharon Hughes

It seems every Easter now we are seeing someone new talking about Jesus in unorthodox ways. This year it’s about a new tomb found with proponents claiming Jesus was married and buried with his wife. Are Americans buying this story? Very few, especially as compared to the DaVinci Code when it came out in movie form last year.

While the great majority of Americans claim to believe in God and to be of the Christian faith, what do Americans really know about God?

USA Today reported last week on the outcome of a quiz given by Stephen Prothero, chairman of the religion department at Boston University and author of “Religious Literacy, What Every American Needs to Know”, which shows 60% of Americans can’t name 5 of the 10 Commandment in the Bible, and over half of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were...married.

I picked up the paper while waiting for an appointment at the Hotel to finalize plans for our upcoming WOMANTalk Spring Luncheon, and decided to conduct my own mini survey, and asked three young women in their twenties working behind the front desk, if they knew what Sodom and Gomorrah was. All three said no, they had no idea, they had never heard of them.

Unbelievable. But, whose fault is it that young people are so unfamiliar with such (formerly) common known accounts from the bible? Parents for not passing on an education of the Bible? Society for pushing God out of the schools? Or the individuals themselves?

Here are some of the other questions in the Pop quiz:

Name the four gospels
What are the first five books of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament?
Where according to the Bible was Jesus born?
What are the Seven Sacraments of Catholicism?
President George W. Bush spoke in his first inaugural address of the Jericho road. What Bible story was he invoking?
“We’re impoverished by ignorance,” says Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, who blames Sunday Schools for ‘trivializing religious education.’

Interestingly, Prothero’s solution is to require middle-schoolers to take a course in world religions, and for high schoolers to take one on the Bible, and all college undergrads to take at least one course in religious studies.

The author also says schools are failing on the religious literacy front because they ‘reduce religion to morality’. “We are not all on the same one path to the same one God. Religions aren’t all saying the same thing. That’s presumptuous and wrong. They start with different problems, solve the problems in different ways, and they have different goals.”

While the author’s ideas are great, it would be a huge battle to implement them.

The ACLU, Richard Dawkins and others of the ‘new atheism,’ which is a more aggressive atheism, (see ‘Blasphemy Challenge’) wouldn’t stand for a return of God to our public schools.  And their allies, such as the Center for Progressive Christianity and Soulforce, the gay-activist group which is currently on its Equality Ride across the nation protesting the moral codes of Christian colleges, would be fighting alongside them.

I asked earlier in this article who is to blame for America getting an “F” in religion, but that isn’t as important as this question: who will fight and pull in the opposite direction to see America’s grade go up? You?

Send Out the Clowns

If liberal judicial activism were ever put on trial, the foolish decisions of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (sometimes referred to as the Ninth Circus) would be Exhibit A. An editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal notes that the Supreme Court has reviewed eight decisions by the Ninth Circuit in its current term--and has overturned all eight. The cumulative vote of the justices against the Ninth Circuit’s positions is an astronomical 67-5. This gives hope that the Supremes will overturn another absurd Ninth Circuit ruling handed down Friday. The Contra Costa County (Calif.) Library makes meeting rooms available to the public for “educational, cultural and community related” activities--but forbids their use for “religious services.” A district court judge overturned this blatantly unconstitutional policy, but a Ninth Circuit panel overruled that decision, and now the full court has refused to hear an appeal. The judges argue that “mere religious worship” is entitled to less protection under the First Amendment than is secular speech or religious speech other than worship. The dissenting judges declared that “the majority has disregarded equal-access cases stretching back nearly three decades.” It’s no wonder that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Dr. James Dobson last week in a radio interview that he favors abolishing the Ninth Circuit altogether.

The GOP presidential field has been considered wide open since November 8, 2006. The possible addition of Iraq war critic Senator Chuck Hagel (Neb.) later this year and the new efforts to draft former Senator Fred Thompson (Tenn.) suggest that the GOP nominating process could become a political cornucopia. Everyone from a former school teacher to a former Washington lobbyist, strong national security hawks to cut-and-run advocates, libertarians to market regulators, consistent pro-lifers and an abortion advocate--all will form what is an expansive GOP presidential field. The crowded field will foster sharp competition. This past weekend the ubiquitous YouTube placed a video online showing Rudy Giuliani in 1989 as a Republican mayoral candidate addressing a pro-abortion audience and saying, “There must be public funding of abortions for poor women.” He also voiced his disagreement with President George H.W. Bush’s veto of a public funding abortion bill. The possible candidacy of Fred Thompson took many people by surprise. He was first elected to complete Vice President Al Gore’s Senate term in 1994. Thompson holds a lifetime rating of 86% from the American Conservative Union (John McCain is close behind with an 82%) and in Senator Thompson’s last year in office he scored a 78% on FRC’s vote scorecard. He has voted consistently pro-life, voting to ban partial-birth abortion, human cloning and abortions on military bases. Thompson is an actor who now plays District Attorney Arthur Branch on NBC’s series “Law and Order.”

Q: Do flying insects defy the laws of science?

A: Not at all. Since the laws of aerodynamics were established by God and He created insects with the ability to fly, it would be against the very nature of God for them to defy such laws. Researchers are only now just beginning to understand how insects are able to stay aloft.

It turns out that insects create a special vortex pattern (a spiraling tube-like pattern of airflow) along the edges of their wings. This gives them the extra lift they need to fly. When researchers tried to duplicate this in a wind tunnel, though, they failed. They discovered that the insects’ wings have a complex motion of rotation, changing the arc of the wing.

Only after millions of dollars … and years of research … are scientists even beginning to understand why insects can fly.

But evolutionists tell us that insects are products of random processes over millions of years! No wonder God’s Word states that “The fool has said in his heart there’s no God.”

Ninth Circuit Court endorses censoring Christians

Time to Change the Subjects at U.C

In the University of California (U.C.) system, college applicants are tired of having their religious studies marginalized. Students from the Calvary Chapel Christian School in Murrieta have been repeatedly frustrated by college admission officers who reject their college prep credits because they were “based on Christian viewpoints.” The university accepts high school courses on subjects such as Buddhism or existentialism but not those rooted in the Judeo-Christian ethic. In response, Calvary, along with the Association of Christian Schools International, which represents over 4,000 accredited U.S. schools, is suing the university for religious discrimination. The suit, which could significantly impact the future of Christian education, “is about standing up for faith,” says one student. During depositions, a U.C. representative testified that students who are “saved” would not be “adequately prepared” for the rigors of college classes if they were taught from a Christian perspective. For example, the university took issue with science classes that promoted intelligent design over evolution, even if these classes fully exposed students to the scientific issues. Other classes that were denied by the U.C.’s system included, “Christianity’s Influence on America” and “Christianity and Morality in American Literature.” Both were described as “too narrow or specialized.” This from a school that has legitimized courses such as “The History of Rap,” “Queer Musicology,” “Sex Change City,” and “The Psychology of the Lesbian Experience.” For a school that’s been listed on the Young America’s Foundation list of “The Dirty Dozen: America’s Most Bizarre and Politically Correct College Courses,” U.C. has limited authority to judge what does and does not qualify as a “quality educational experience.”

Conservapedia...

CONSERVAPEDIA

This is an alterative online encyclopedia to the very popular, but left wing biased Wikipedia. So, the next time you want to use an online dictionary, use one that is reliable and not anti-Christian and leaning left. Wikipedia uses the anti-Christian dating system BCE and CE instead of the regular versions, BC and AD. I highly recommend Conservapedia for anyone wanting information without ant-Christian, left wing bias somewhere on the page. Visit today at : http://www.conservapedia.com

Heaven is Real...

Book Review : Heaven is so Real!

by

Rob Hood

For anyone who calls themselves a born again Christian, a place called Heaven is usually on the mind quite frequently. I know that I do sometimes think about and wonder what life in Heaven will be like one day when Jesus returns for His people.

As for a Korean-American woman named Choo Thomas, Heaven is not that far from becoming reality. In her book, Heaven is So Real!, we can catch a brief glimpse of our future homeland. Those of us who have studied the Book of Revelation know that in the end times, Jesus will return (the rapture) for his bride (the church).

Mrs. Thomas tells of the wonders of Heaven after having claimed prophetic visions similar to those of John the Revelator. Normally I dismiss such claims, but her visions have caught my attention and I’ll guarantee that once you start reading this book, you will not only believe her as well, but will have a new excitement for the Lord and want to tell others about it as well.

I know that the book has certainly helped me renew my spiritual walk to a point that it has not been for quite some time now. I recommend this book which has sold over 500,000 copies to everyone who calls themselves a Christian. It will give a new perspective on Heaven, the return of Jesus and the end times, and the final judgment.

The book is available at most bookstores and online stores including www.christianbook.com .

Q: What bird has a beak that grows continually?

A: Skimmers are birds that live along the coast, and they have a unique way of feeding. These birds fly just above the water with their lower beak skimming the surface. Whenever that beak hits anything in the water, it scoops up its prey.

Over time, the friction of the water wears against the lower beak, so you would expect the beak to wear away. But the lower beak of the skimmer continually grows at the same rate that it wears! Skimmers that are kept in zoos have to have their lower beaks trimmed on a regular basis or the lower beak will grow out way past the upper beak. The upper beak of the skimmer doesn’t continually grow. But it doesn’t touch the water and won’t wear down.

So, evolutionists have a real problem trying to explain how the lower beak came to continually grow and the upper beak did not.

When we look at the skimmer, we see the wonderful purpose and design of our Creator God. It looks like the skimmer is designed to do what it does do, and what it does do it does do well, doesn’t it? We think it does!

Evolutionary Hypothesis?

Rational Evolutionary Hypothesis?
by Thomas E. Brewton

Evolutionists make truly wild assumptions to fill the gaps in their hypotheses.
Check out Richard Dawkins’s thesis that DNA originated spontaneously in
inorganic mud crystals.

Richard Dawkins is one of today’s most widely known defenders of Darwinian
evolution. Professor Dawkins goes beyond defending evolution, using extravagant
language to attack the personal qualifications of anyone who questions
Darwinian evolution. Of such people, he opined, It is absolutely safe to say
that, if you meet someone who claims not to believe in evolution, that person
is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that).

Needless to say, as a believer in evolution, professor Dawkins regards himself
as not ignorant and not stupid. Yet, some of his speculations, to a non-
believer in evolution, appear to be a few cards short of a full deck.

In Darwin’s evolutionary hypothesis, and in the many variants since 1859, the
fundamental thrust, indeed the starting point for Darwin himself, was to
disprove what he called the “damnable doctrine” of God as the Creator of the
cosmos and of life on earth. All events, for the evolutionists, are
attributable to material causes, without the intervention of a Creator existing
before and outside the universe.

Because the minds of evolutionists cannot conceive of God as existence
preceding essence, for them He cannot exist. Their only reality is the
tangible, sensible world of processes with material causes that the human brain
is capable of fathoming and presumptively controlling.

For evolution to stand on its own two feet, Darwinians must be able to explain
how life was created by purely material factors. This they singularly fail to
do. And without a materialistic beginning of life, there can be no purely
materialistic, Darwinian evolution of life forms.

Darwinians therefore gloss over the origin of life and focus instead on the
hypothetical mechanism of natural selection, through billions of tiny, random
modifications over eons, which might plausibly have differentiated a single,
original elemental life form into all known life forms of today. To date there
have been only unsuccessful attempts in chemistry labs to create life from
inorganic chemicals. Every theory attempting to explain the origin of life has
collided with contradictory facts
in chemistry and geology.

In The Blind Watchmaker, in the chapter titled Origins and Miracles, professor
Dawkins deals with the origin of life and of the presumed inception of the
evolutionary process itself.

Most text books, he writes, favor the ‘primeval soup’ concept in which lots of
chemicals got mixed up at the beginning of planet earth, and life just
happened. It seems probable that the atmosphere of Earth before the coming of
life was like that of other planets which are still lifeless. There was no
oxygen....Chemists know that oxygen-free climates like this tend to foster the
spontaneous synthesis of organic chemicals.

However, this standard version, taught to students of biology today, appears to
be erroneous in its postulation of an oxygen-free atmosphere before the
creation of life. As noted in Jesus vs. Darwin: Points 1 and 2:

For example, the “primordial soup” hypothesis for the origin of life entirely
by chance, proposed by the atheistic Soviet biochemist A. I. Oparin in 1924,
requires that there be no free oxygen in the atmosphere, otherwise the
postulated sequential combinations of chemicals would screech to a halt as
oxygen, in effect, would “rust” the process.  Geologists, unfortunately for the
evolutionists, since then have found clear evidence in ancient rocks that there
were significant amounts of oxygen in
the atmosphere at the postulated time of the “primordial soup”.

Professor Dawkins’s preferred hypothesis, however, is not the ‘primeval soup’
one, but the ‘inorganic mineral’ theory of Glasgow chemist Graham Cairns-
Smith.

Cairns-Smith’s view, Dawkins writes, of the DNA/protein machinery is that it
probably came into existence relatively recently, perhaps as recently as three
billion years ago....Although the chemistry of modern Earth-bound life is all
carbon-chemistry, this may not be true all over the universe, and it may not
always have been true on this Earth. Cairns-Smith believes that the original
life on this planet was based on self-replicating inorganic crystals such as
silicates. If this is true,
organic replicators, and eventually DNA, must later have taken over or usurped
the role.

Continuing, professor Dawkins writes, Cairns-Smith’s guess is that the original
replicators were crystals of inorganic materials, such as those found in clays
and muds....Since it is replication we are interested in, the first thing we
must know is, can crystals replicate their structure?...Sometimes crystals
spontaneously start to form in solution. At other times they have to be
‘seeded’, either by particles of dust or by small crystals dropped in from
elsewhere....Flat crystals give rise to a
population of flat crystals. Chunky crystals give rise to a population of
chunky crystals. If there is a tendency for one type of crystal to grow and
split more quickly than the other, we shall have a simple kind of natural
selection. But the process still lacks a vital ingredient in order to give rise
to evolutionary change. That ingredient is hereditary variation, or something
equivalent to it. Instead of just two types of crystals, there must be a whole
range of minor variants that form
lineages of like shape, and that sometimes ‘mutate’ to produce new shapes.

Crystals grow like rows of flowers.....But – and here is the vital point –
there are flaws....And once a flaw has appeared, it tends to be copied as
subsequent layers of crystal encrust themselves on top of it.....

What DNA has over normal crystals is a means by which its information can be
read. Leaving aside the problem of read-out, you could easily devise an
arbitrary code whereby flaws in the atomic structure of the crystal denote
binary numbers....

The role of clay and other mineral crystals in the theory is to act as the
original ‘low-tech’ replicators, the ones that were eventually replaced by high-
tech DNA....

There is still the missing ingredient of ‘power’: the nature of the replicators
must somehow have influenced their own likelihood of being replicated....
Whether the original low-tech replicators were mineral crystals or organic
forerunners of DNA itself, we may guess that the ‘power’ they exercised was
direct and elementary, like stickiness....

We aren’t suggesting that clays ‘want’ to go on existing....suppose that a
variant of clay improves its own chances of being deposited, by damming up
streams....A succession of such shallow pools proliferates along the length of
any stream that happens to be ‘infected’ by seeding crystals of this kind of
clay.....The clay dries and cracks in the sun, and the top layers are blown off
as dust. Each dust particle inherits the characteristic defect structure of the
parent clay that did the damming,the structure that gave it its damming properties. By analogy with the genetic information raining down on the canal from my willow tree, we could say that
the dust carries ‘instructions’ for how to dam streams and eventually make more
dust.....The crystalline structure of each particle of dust is copied from the
clay in the parent stream. It passes on that crystalline structure to the
daughter stream, where it grows and multiplies and finally sends ‘seeds’ out
again....

Now if the alteration makes the crystal either less or more efficient in the
damming/drying/erosion cycle, this will affect how many copies it has in
subsequent ‘generations’....There are many opportunities for successive
‘generations’ to become progressively ‘better’ at getting passed to subsequent
generations. In other words, there are many opportunities for rudimentary
cumulative selection to get going.

Now to move on to the next stage of the argument, some lineages of crystals
might happen to catalyse the synthesis of new substances that assist in their
passage down the ‘generations’.....Cairns-Smith believes that organic molecules
were prominent among non-replicating ‘tools’ of his inorganic replicators.

Notice in the foregoing, and in most writings by evolutionists, the frequent
use of words like “may,” “probably,” “could have been,” “we could imagine,” “we
may guess,” “must somehow,” and “must have been.”

Notice also that professor Dawkins begins with a tangential glance at the
‘primeval soup’ thesis as the mechanism by which life just happened on earth,
but then he slides into the origin of DNA as the information technology by
which genetic information is created, accumulated, and passed along to later
generations. He never specifically comes to grips with the origin of life
itself, the all-important first step in evolutionary hypothesizing.

Again, in the quotations above he casually assumes that, after clay crystals
‘evolve,’ organic chemicals (the building blocks of living tissue, which
evolutionists acknowledge did not exist when earth was formed) are handily, by
chance, available to be catalyzed by his ‘evolved’ crystals. This is circular
reasoning on the order of stating, “The weather is cold, because it is cold.”
It explains nothing. If the appropriate organic chemicals essential for living
tissues came into being, via anunexplained process, at the appropriate time to catalyze Dawkins’s mud crystals, why do we need mud crystals?

Finally, notice that professor Dawkins and his fellow evolutionists offer no
proof at all for any of their speculations, for the simple reason that there is
no way to prove them. One might as plausibly speculate that the sun was
originally blue when the earth was formed; no one can disprove it. Because they
are “scientists,” we are required to take their word for it.

In any case, there you have it: the “scientific” hypothesis that one of the
world’s most prominent Darwinian evolutionists uses to counter the ignorance,
stupidity, and insanity of people who don’t accept Darwinian atheism and
materialism.

Because the established scientific organizations and journals control the
dictionary of science, they can get away with decreeing what is science and
what is not. It’s apparently scientific to construct a whole theoretical
edifice on the foundation of sheer speculation, provided that the speculation
affirms Darwinian evolution.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK

Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.” Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Comebacks to a hoax...

45 Pithy Comebacks to ‘ They Found the Casket of Jesus’
by Todd Friel

1.Explain to me why a poor family from Bethlehem would be buried in a middle
class grave in Jerusalem.
2.Mary, Jesus and Joseph were the most popular names in Israel at this time.
That is why the Jewish archaeologists who first discovered these caskets in
1980 NEVER claimed these belonged to the family of Jesus. The odds are too
preposterous.
3.Israeli archaeologist Joel Rosenberg believes this new film is nonsense.
4.So does Jewish archaeologist Amos Kloner.
5.There is no credible evidence that Jesus was ever married. The only possible
reference to Jesus being married is in a 14th century manuscript (Acts of
Phillip) that nobody deems credible.
6.There is no evidence that Jesus had children.
7.They claim they have proof that Jesus had a baby. We can’t even determine
the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby. (Jay Leno)
8.As there is no credible evidence that Jesus was married with children, this
discovery does not prove that Jesus was married; it proves that these caskets
don’t belong to Jesus. If Jesus was not married to Mary, this whole theory
collapses.
9.If Jesus had a wife and children, wouldn’t Jesus have told John to only take
care of His mother when He was on the cross?
10.Jesus son of Joseph is hardly legible.
11.Professor Stephen Pfann in Jerusalem believes the name “Jesus” should
actually be interpreted “Hanun.”
12. For such an esteemed Rabbi, the family sure did a sloppy job of inscribing
His name on the casket.
13.Jesus is never referred to as “The son of Joseph” in early Christian
witness. That is the inscription on the casket.
14.If you were going to hide a casket, would you put it in Jerusalem and label
it “Jesus”?

Early election choices...

Dear Readers,

As early as it is in the next presidential election cycle, it seems as if true Giod fearing conservatives are lacking from the candidacy for president in 2008. As it turns out there are two men that are more than qualified if just given the chnace ot prove themselves. I urge you to take a look at Kansas Senator Sam Brownback and another little knowm man by the name of Duncan Hunter who are both running for president in 2008. I urge you to take a look at their credentials and I encourage you to support these incredible conservatives. Thank you!
