I Sometimes Wonder (as I wander)

If our first parents (Adam/Eve) had obeyed the only rule they were given, would it hurt when a baby's first set of teeth came through the gums? If our mouths were not about to spend a lifetime of speaking vanities against our Creator, would it hurt as they were forming teeth?

Skin Is Amazing

. . . and shows how smart God is.

Today at work I was moving something around and slid my hand over a sharp spot. It stung and I was sure I would look down and see at least a scratch if not blood.

Nothing. Not even a pink line. Tell me, if you were creating a new organism from scratch and nothing like it had been made before, you would have done this. Cover the entire exterior with a tough, flexible, self-healing membrane that lets waste out and keeps the good juices in. Just wow, God. Good work; you nailed it first try.

Evolutionists Shocked To Find "Vestigial" Appendix is Functional.

From Yahoo! News.

For a long time, nobody really knew what the human appendix was good for. So, according typical evolutionist thinking, it's good for nothing.

Hold on there.

Somebody went and took another look, and it seems the appendix is a valuable organ after all! Who knew?! Turns out, if you live in too clean an environment, it may give you trouble, but otherwise it's actually pretty helpful.

I found the linked Yahoo! article to be both amusing and sad. My favorite lowlight: " No less than Charles Darwin first suggested that the appendix was a vestigial organ" Really? The same Darwin who was too stupid to get a real job, so his daddy told him to go be a priest? Wow.

The general tone of the article is somewhat-stunned confusion at the discover of function in a bodily organ. A creationist just smiles and nods, realizing that God placed the appendix in the body for a reason that was too advanced for us to figure it out until now. Christians to evolutionists: welcome to having a clue. Now if you'd just believe in Jesus . . .

Meteor Craters: Fountains of the Deep?

I was considering the Barringer Meteor Crater the other day, when a thought came to mind that I had never had before. It has pretty obviously occurred to other people because there is some interesting debate on the topic online. You can google up your own information as well as I can, and most of the people with forums dedicated to the discussion are very anti- everything I believe in so I won't drive traffic to them on purpose. Suffice it to say, there is a LOT of thought that has been put into a LOT of words in some pretty interesting conversations out there.

Anywho, here's the thought I had, based on one of my first principles (the Bible is true, which has a corollary principle: the Earth is young): Are the huge meteor craters out there actually mislabeled? The Bible says

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

To me, that says there was some water somewhere underground, and it came out via multiple fountains. There would have to be a lot of water to cover the face of the whole earth, and the fountains would have to be pretty big. Could this have been one of them?

There would have been water flowing out in every direction, so one would not find evidence of rivers originating from the fountains. There seems to be a general lack of meteorites found in the craters which would make sense if they were fountains.

There are plenty of people who won't (will not, on purpose) believe in the flood. The changes on the face of the planet that could be from the events described in the Bible as happening at that time won't fit into their worldview. They may be expected to expend great amounts of time, energy, and money to prove the Bible false. They have failed so far, but may be expected to keep trying.

One thing you will find true regardless of what you think made the craters: there are some astonishing photographs of them available online.

Global Warming Will KILL ALL THE TREES!!!!1!

News, apparently, to some people who have never paid attention to coal mines (not news to the miners who don't count because they're not doctors or reporters):

from the Times Online

Boogity boogity magic BOOM and all of a sudden, there was an earthquake and the sea rushed in and filled the area with sediment, and perfectly preserved 10,000 hectares of forest by fossilization. To call that a bit of a stretch is an understatement.

They are ignoring a more plausible theorem because it doesn't fit into the humanist/evolutionist worldview.

Try this: before the Flood, the trees (and everything else) had a much broader range of the earth to grow on, because the global environment was healthier (maybe I'll talk about this in another post, later). So there was a forest in this place. Then the world was inundated, and this forest was covered with silt, and fossilized. Makes sense to someone not unwilling to believe what the Bible says is true. If the Bible can't be true, you come up with a whole forest subsumed in an earthquake and yet still standing, due -since this is the current bogeyman- to global warming.

Not.

Once again, science agrees with the Bible, if you will look at it from the proper perspective.

However, since the "experts" say different and nobody currently alive was there to see what happened to this forest, we will never know, and both sides will likely continue to believe what they did before, except for the soft-headed who will be persuaded due to the "experts" having Said So.

Of course, to present both theories in school for children to consider, would be a Bad Thing, right? I mean, right?

So, You Say Oil Comes From Dinosaurs?

. . . and that we are running out of it?

From WorldNetDaily, In 5 minutes I find more evidence that not only does oil NOT come from dead stuff, we have more of it than we will ever need.

After recent oil strikes that double our US territory proven reserves

we find it is not required and shouldn't be hard to replicate similar finds of large quantities of oil!

Soon to be released for anyone to do it: bacteria modified from the cow-fart-methane producing kind turn waste biomass into fuels. To be producing gasoline and diesel in the US in a couple of years if possible.

A new discovery about the Lost City vents under the ocean is increasing evidence for the abiotic origin of "fossil fuels"

More on abiotic hydrocarbon fuels

But somehow, you are unconvinced. Okay, we'll still welcome you to the SUV party when you join it.

Now here is the religious aside that makes you think I am a kook:

This is further proof of creationism from the Biblical and Young Earth perspectives. IF the dinosaurs didn't live gozillions of years ago, then there is no way for the oil to take gozillions of years to form.

I suppose you also didn't know that the oil is sometimes found under high pressure (think: Spindletop) that would normally have crumbled the surrounding rock and bled off, given millions of years. If it was only there for a (geologically) short period, then the rocks wouldn't have cracked and let the pressure out.

Huh. How do you like that?
