In 1984 and again in 1999, the National Academy of Sciences, the nation?s most eminent scientific organization, produced books on the evidence supporting the theory of evolution and arguing against the introduction of creationism or other religious alternatives in public school science classes. On Thursday, it produced a third. But this volume is unusual, people who worked on it say, because it is intended specifically for the lay public and because it devotes much of its space to explaining the differences between science and religion, and asserting that acceptance of evolution does not require abandoning belief in God. ..... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/04/us/04 .…

2 Peter 3:11-13 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Notice that the verse does not say that the elements will be destroyed: When you "melt" something, it changes from a solid to a liquid and takes a different form. God's Creation fascinates me. I was watching this documentary about the Magellan spa…

Who knew the Weasley family trademark?a shock of bright red hair?was tens of thousands of years old? Fictional wizards and J.K. Rowling aside, researchers Carles Lalueza-Fox of the University of Barcelona, Spain and Holger Rompler of the University of Leipzig in Germany announced last week that Neanderthals, who died out 35,000 years ago, had the same distribution of hair and skin color as modern human European populations. By inference, that means that about 1 percent of Neanderthals must have been redheads, with pale skin and freckles. ... http://www.livescience.com/history/0711 ... -hair.html

I am not 100% sure where the best forum to link to this study is, but I could see it fitting in here as something of an apologetic article on the first 9 chapters of Genesis. References To Genesis In The Book Of Job I have been preaching my way through the book of Job, and the Lord has laid this study on my heart the last few days. It is a study of a different nature, but one I found worthwhile to dig into.

Are some religious leaders missionaries for evolution? It may seem a bit strong to call some Christian leaders ?missionaries for evolution,? but, in fact, leaders in many denominations will make an all-out effort to promote evolution. While some Bible-upholding leaders oppose what they?re doing, their voices are often drowned out. Evolutionists can capitalize on this confusion in the church. Sometimes church leaders are some of their strongest allies! Here?s what the Paleontological Society said in an evolution tract written for the general public: ?Many people of faith, including scientists, find no conflict between evolution and their religion; in fact, m…

Prehistoric sea ?monster? discovered Remains of reptile measuring 40 feet long might be a new species updated 10:15 a.m. CT, Tues., Dec. 4, 2007 OSLO, Norway - Remains of a bus-sized prehistoric "monster" reptile found on a remote Arctic island may be a new species never before recorded by science, researchers said Tuesday. Initial excavation of a site on the Svalbard islands in August yielded the remains, teeth, skull fragments and vertebrae of a reptile estimated to measure nearly 40 feet long, said Joern Harald Hurum of the University of Oslo. "It seems the monster is a new species," he told The Associated Press. The reptile appears be the same species as a…

Did Life Originate in a Mica Sandwich Sitting in Primordial Waters? New hypothesis suggests spaces between mica layers may have provided exactly the right conditions for earliest life Earth's first life form may have developed between the layers of a chunk of mica sitting like a multilayered sandwich in primordial waters, according to a new hypothesis. The mica hypothesis, which was developed by Helen Hansma of the National Science Foundation (NSF), proposes that the compartments between layers of mica -- a common mineral that cleaves into smooth sheets -- could have provided the shelter and protection needed for molecules to organize into cells... http://www.nsf.gov…

By Ben Hirschler LONDON (Reuters) - One of our closest ancestors had more in common with gorillas than previously thought, with males of the species taking far longer to reach maturity than females, scientists said on Thursday. Males of Paranthropus robustus -- an extinct relative of humans that lived almost 2 million years ago -- continued to grow well into adulthood, before a lucky few finally established "harems" of females for breeding. The result was a big difference in size between males and females. "This is exactly what you see in gorillas and a variety of other primates, but not so much in humans or chimpanzees," said Charles Lockwood of University Colleg…

Mankind 'shortening the universe's life' By Roger Highfield, Science Editor Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 21/11/2007 Forget about the threat that mankind poses to the Earth: our activities may be shortening the life of the universe too. # Parallel universe proof boosts time travel hopes # Quantum theory and relativity explained # Surfer Dude's Theory of Everything - The Movie The startling claim is made by a pair of American cosmologists investigating the consequences for the cosmos of quantum theory, the most successful theory we have. Over the past few years, cosmologists have taken this powerful theory of what happens at the level of subatomic particles and tried…

The sun, as I read it, is forever. That means it can not burn out in billions of years, as science says will happen. Guess the new heavens are different than these ones! Sorry, science, your guesswork is way off here.

Theory that explains how galaxies stick together called into question Two Canadian astronomers think there is a good reason dark matter, a mysterious substance thought to make up the bulk of matter in the universe, has never been directly detected: It doesn't exist. Dark matter was invoked to explain how galaxies stick together. The visible matter alone in galaxies ? stars, gas and dust ? is nowhere near enough to hold them together, so scientists reasoned there must be something invisible that exerts gravity and is central to all galaxies. Last August, an astronomer at the University of Arizona at Tucson and his colleagues reported that a collision between two huge…

Someone had recently told me that there can only be 240 million or billion (not quite sure) gene combinations and that this can scientifically prove the resurrection and back up the bible. I don't recall exactly what he had told me, only that the resurrection and the recycling of gene combinations are linked somehow. Does anyone know what he's talking about? Love, Madeline

A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. The eruptions, which created the gigantic Deccan Traps lava beds of India, are now the prime suspect in the most famous and persistent paleontological murder mystery, say scientists who have conducted a slew of new investigations honing down eruption timing. ... http://www.physorg.com/news112894459.html

Like bringing to life a naked mannequin, scientists are using genetic and physical evidence found in fossils to clothe the skeletal remains of our closest hominid relatives, the Neanderthals. More and more, they seem familiar. Bones from two Neanderthals yielded valuable genetic information that adds red hair, light skin and perhaps some freckling to our extinct relatives. The results, detailed online today by the journal Science, suggest that at least 1 percent of Neanderthals were redheads. .... http://www.livescience.com/health/071025-red-heads.html So I guess I better tell my hubby that he is actually a caveman (he is red-haired) :frog

- In the last nearly 7 months, there have been 2, major attacks, against the "jew", but we will call it Israel. OCT 7 was the first, and this is well documented, and now, a few days ago, you have Iran (Islam) attacking Israel in the middle of the night, as the devil loves the darkness....... Many many Ballistic , Cruise Missiles, and at least 200 Attack Drones were sent in by Islam (Iran) to try to kill Jewish citizens. Here are some photos, of a few of the Ballistic Missiles and a video. I wanted you to see the size of just ONE of the Ballistic Missiles so that you can get a real sense of just how much damage and death Islam was trying to again, inflict on the JEW., as they fired over 100 of these... and not just these. - - - - - -
Only "throw it out" if you are trying to offer it to God to be accepted by God. For example.. "God, i'll promise to stop sinning............will you save me now'"" ????? See that? "God says" = NO I WONT, as that is not my GRACE. and you are "saved by Grace", or you are not saved at all.
-
All those passages above show repentance from sin. You can throw them out if it doesn't fit your theology - but that doesn't make your theology true.
-
What you wrote does not even make sense as a sentence, so, it certainly can't be found as sound theology. So, God requires that we give to Him, our faith in Christ. As that is to repent from Unbelief, and that is the TRUE Repentance that God accepts. Remember.. 'Jesus came into the world to save SINNERS"......... and you qualified......same as us all. Just stay here... A.) God became a man to die for all your sin, so that He can then give you HIS Righteousness. And that is what happens when you go to God with Faith in Christ. God takes the Blood and Death of Jesus and makes you sinless, as "Jesus is the ONE TIME... Eternal SACRIFICE for SIN" AND then, once your SIN is dealt with by the BLOOD and DEATH of Jesus........as He has now died for them all..... God then gives you "the Gift of Righteousness" that is "The Gift of Salvation". See that? That is to become BORN AGAIN... as a "new Creation".. "in Christ". AS = "ONE with GOD".
