   I was wondering if anywhere in the Bible there was anywhere that talks about the what the first language was. It doesn't matter much and I can't find it in Genesis so anyone know something I don't?

   We were loaned 3 dvd's done by this company. http://explorationfilms.com/ They are really very good. Jobe Martin is a scientist who was an agnostic. He became a Christian, but continued to teach evolution. About 5 years after he was saved, he was challenged to do some even deeper studying. He did. And he was amazed at the things he found out about evolution. Today he teaches creation. On the dvd's we watched (still have one to go), he looks at several different creatures...and points to different things about them that could not have evolved - and that no evolutionist can explain. They are really very interesting. Not exhaustive, but informative. More is exp…

   Coffee or tea with lunch? Which pants to wear to work? Which movie to watch? Your mind might be made up before you know it. Researchers have found patterns of brain activity that predict people's decisions up to 10 seconds before they're aware they've made a choice. In the 1980s, psychologist Benjamin Libet of the University of California, San Francisco, caught people's brains jumping the gun on consciousness. A few hundred milliseconds before a person thought he or she decided to press a button, brain areas related to movement were already active. The result was hard for some to stomach because it suggested that the unconscious brain calls the shots, making free will an…

   LONDON (Reuters) - Neanderthals have spoken out for the first time in 30,000 years, with the help of scientists who have simulated their voices using fossil evidence and a computer synthesizer. ADVERTISEMENT Robert McCarthy, an anthropologist at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, used new reconstructions of Neanderthal vocal tracts to work out how they would have sounded, NewScientist.com reported on Wednesday. The conclusion is that Neanderthals spoke, but sounded rather different to us. Specifically, the ancient humans' lacked the "quantal vowel" sounds that underlie modern speech and which provide cues that help speakers understand one another. By modeli…

    I was reading up on some proof for creation (and obviously, as you all know, it abounds) and found a funny article. Ok, so years ago, some scientists found a trilobite, (supposedly extinct early lifeform) had been stepped on by a shoe. So, once its confirmed that its a trilobite and a shoe and the shoe is on a trilobite, what do the evolutionists say? Evidently aliens came and stepped on a trilobite, or some ancient race now extinct did. "Megorp orp fleerrrrgggarg, (in English) Dude, you just stepped on a trilobite!"

    (AP) -- Using tiny brushes and chisels, workers picking at a big greenish-black rock in the basement of North Dakota's state museum are meticulously uncovering something amazing: a nearly complete dinosaur, skin and all. Unlike almost every other dinosaur fossil ever found, the Edmontosaurus named Dakota, a duckbilled dinosaur unearthed in southwestern North Dakota in 2004, is covered by fossilized skin that is hard as iron. It's among just a few mummified dinosaurs in the world, say the researchers who are slowly freeing it from a 65-million-year-old rock tomb. ... http://physorg.com/news125058863.html

    Embryos containing human and animal material have been created in Britain for the first time, a month before the House of Commons votes on new laws to regulate the research. A team at Newcastle University announced yesterday that it had successfully generated ?admixed embryos? by adding human DNA to empty cow eggs in the first experiment of its kind in Britain. The Commons is to debate the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill next month. MPs have been promised a free vote on clauses in the legislation that would permit admixed embryos. But their creation is already allowed, subject to the granting of a licence from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority…

    I heard a theory about a year or two ago, I think from Hovind or Ham, that they found it funny that for hundreds of years, stories of sea serpents where common and accepted. Then, when ships started using loud engines, and no one saw them anymore, smarty pants people dismissed thousands of sighting as myth from "stupid" people of the past. The theory is that now they avoid ships because of the noise. Keeping this theory in mind, I've collected some past and modern accounts of sea serpents, including some of the latest discoveries of some huge and weird creatures in the last couple years.

    http://www.physorg.com/news123944737.html Subconscious mental connection between blacks, apes may reinforce subtle discrimination. Many U.S. citizens may not hold openly racist beliefs today, but they still may subconsciously link African Americans with apes because people still use words and metaphors that subtly reinforce a less-than-human bias and endorse violence against Blacks, according to a new study. "...If you look at some political cartoons of Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama and Colin Powell, you see that they are represented in ape-like caricature," noted Goff "It is not explicit depiction and therefore not seen as offensive. .."

The existence of mathematical order and principles may have been DISCOVERED by man over a period of three thousand years, but they were already in existence, designed by Almighty God. If man could only see that.

    Just looking for some guidance in the Creation account: How would one explain the light of the first day of Creation when the Bible tells us that the sun and the moon and the stars appeared only on the fourth day of creation? Another query - the stars are known to be many light years away, which also mean that when they appeared, their light had to reach the earth instantly, not after many years (perhaps even millions or billions of years). I don't believe in the 'Gap Theory' and firmly believe that the 6 days of creation were 6 literal days. However, could the creation account allow for an already existing (but lifeless) Universe? Gen 1:2 says that the earth was…

    Specifically what kind of "sons" are referred to in the following verses? Sons of who? Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Why has God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts? This verse says "because ye are sons". If angels are sons, has God sent the Spirit of his Son into their hearts? Are they indwelled with the Holy Spirit? Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. This verse says if you're a son, then you are an heir of God through Christ. If angels are sons, are they heirs of God through Christ?

It was so big that it probably spent much of its life semi-submerged in water, like a hippo, to reduce the stresses caused by its size. Palaeontologists found the skull in rock deposits in Uruguay. It is believed to date back two to four million years to a time when giant wildlife was commonplace in South America. The rodent, Josephoartigasia monesi, was uncovered by Andr
