Four in 10 Americans Believe in Strict Creationism by Frank Newport Gallup PRINCETON, NJ -- Four in 10 Americans, slightly fewer today than in years past, believe God created humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago. Thirty-eight percent believe God guided a process by which humans developed over millions of years from less advanced life forms, while 16%, up slightly from years past, believe humans developed over millions of years, without God's involvement. A small minority of Americans hold the "secular evolution" view that humans evolved with no influence from God -- but the number has risen from 9% in 1982 to 16% today. At the same time, the 40% of Am…

Town Taxes Christians for Listening to Sermons 'Driveway fee' assessed against churches based on number of seats in worship centers By BOB Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily Christians who attend worship services in a suburb of Kansas City will have to ante up for new thousand-dollar city "fees" that are being assessed against their churches based on the number of seats in their sanctuaries. That's if the scheme announced recently by officials in Mission, Kan., survives a court challenge that has been filed by the Alliance Defense Fund. "No one should be taxing church attendance, but that's what this tax does: It punishes churches based on their attendance," said Erik…

Gingrich says he's considering presidential run 1 min ago DES MOINES, Iowa – Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday he's seriously considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination and will announce his decision early next year. Gingrich, 67, told The Associated Press that he would focus on helping Republican candidates through the midterm elections in November, then decide in February or March whether to seek the GOP nomination. "I've never been this serious," Gingrich said. "It's fair to say that by February the groundwork will have been laid to consider seriously whether or not to run," he said. Gingrich, in Des Moines for a fundraiser …

'Don't ask, don't tell' repeal: Will there be political fallout? Its now a done deal. Its now a done deal, and our president said, “I couldn’t be prouder,” said Mr. OBama of the repeal of the current “don’t ask don’t tell” policy. The repeal law, he said, "will strengthen our national security and uphold the ideals that our fighting men and women risk their lives to defend." Actually its another step in turning America from God so will it really strengthen our national security? Who can you stand against while God is not on their side. Does God defend those who oppose Him or dies He bring judgment on them? Is America actually as good as many Christians proclaim? Bef…

LOBbyist pleads guilty in Alabama gambling prOBe How about that, the lOBbyist admits his wrong, yet the man who hired him admits no wrong done. Gambling is one of the most corrupt things in America, and gambling, drinking, prostitution, and drugs go hand in hand. Yet the gambling industry is not the only one doing this, most big business gets favors from politicians by buying them, and that is the main reason America is in trouble.

U.S. Senate Moves to Undermine Our Military by David E. Smith, IFI Executive Director -Illinois Family Institute Despite an outpouring of calls, emails and faxes, Illinois U.S. Senator Mark Kirk joined his liberal colleagueDick Durbin in support of invoking cloture on the radical anti-military, anti-family repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for our military. The lame duck U.S. Senate voted 63 to 33 to end the filibuster, which clears the way for the bill to pass with a simple majority. Every Senate Democrat voted yes, and six Republicans joined them: U.S. Senators Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Scott Brown (Massa…

Attorney for man accused of incest asks: if homosexual sex is legal, why not this? by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman Fri Dec 17, 2010 18:23 EST (LifeSiteNews.com) - The attorney for David Epstein, a Colombia university professor charged with incest with his adult daughter, is defending sex between family members by appealing to homosexual “rights” as a precedent. Epstein’s lawyer, Matthew Galluzzo, told ABC News that “It’s OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home. How is this so different? We have to figure out why some behavior is tolerated and some is not.” “What goes on between consenting adults in private should not be legislated. That is not th…

Jimmy Carter: we’ve had a black president, now it’s time for a gay one by Kathleen Gilbert Fri Dec 17, 2010 16:55 EST December 17, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A homosexual president is the next step in America’s march towards civil rights in the same vein as “when we dealt with the race issue,” former US president Jimmy Carter has speculated. The former Democrat president shared his thoughts on the direction of his old office in an interview with the website Big Think. “I don’t know about the next election, but I think in the near future,” said Carter, referring to the possibility of a homosexual president. “Step-by-step, we have realized that this issue of homo…

Evangelical TV show pulled from the air by Charles Lewis National Post (Canada) Dec. 10, 2010 Christian broadcaster Crossroads Television System (CTS) has been found in violation of broadcasting codes for statements made by evangelical television personality and minister Charles McVety that implied there was a "malevolent, insidious and conspiratorial purpose" to the activities of homosexuals. Rev. McVety said he was told Thursday by CTS that his show, Word TV, would be temporarily pulled from the air. "My good name has been impugned by this report." The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, a self-regulated industry watchdog, said that Rev. McVety disparaged ga…

Amazon Web Services kicked WikiLeaks off its self-service cloud servers Wednesday after staffers from the US Senate’s Homeland Security Committee called the company following news reports that Amazon was playing host to the renegade site. The naïve self-appointed secrecy-puncturing “whistleblower” site sought refuge on Amazon after its own site in Sweden was downed by massive denial of service attacks that started when it began publishing equally massive amounts of purloined American diplomatic e-mails and private State Department documents.

Few of us are aware just how much prayer is needed for proposition 8 in California to be upheld. Today during arguments of proponent's lawyers (those in favor of prop8) to have standing or grounds to move forward to institute this law and repeal the stay by a lower court a very serious issue was put forward by the court. That issue in our layman’s terms is difficult, here goes. If the amendment to the California constitution (prop8) is found to be unconstitutional with respect to the U.S. Constitution and 14th Amendment; then, applied in the narrower sense (to California) would it also apply in the broader sense to all states? This was the question of the court to the …

Parents outraged over finance class reading By GREG KWASNIK Manchester Union Leader Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010 BEDFORD, N.H. – The parents of a Bedford teen are calling for the ouster of school officials who assigned their son a book that refers to Jesus Christ as a "wine-guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist." "We had almost PhD people letting this fumble through their fingers, and they all said it was grand," said Dennis Taylor, a conservative Christian. "I think there should be a review of these individuals and perhaps some firing done." Taylor and his wife Aimee became upset when they learned that their son had been assigned the book "Nickel and Dimed: On (N…

Omaha Billboards Herald Jesus' Return in May December 3, 2010 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Christian group is proclaiming Jesus' return in billboards going up in Omaha and other U.S. cities for the holiday season. Allison Warden, of We Can Know, says an analysis of Scripture shows Jesus will come on May 21. She says the billboards showing three wise men following the star of Bethlehem are meant to spur the public's interest in the Bible, not frighten anyone. Warden says the billboards have gone up in Omaha and Nashville, Tenn. She says they're also going up in Atlanta, Bridgeport, Conn.; Detroit; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Kansas City, Mo.; Little Rock, Ark.; Louisville, Ky.; an…

Dinosaurs on the ark never made sense to me. Why save the dinosaurs if they were just gonna die right away due to climate change. Either they were an abomination created in Genesis 6 or perhaps prior between Genesis 1:1-2 and were wiped out during Lucifer's rebellion. Incidentally, Satan is compared to a dragon aka dinosaur. -
The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that. -

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark. -
