Giants existed prior to and after the flood. The cause of the giants prior to the flood was the same cause that caused them to exist after it as well. God did not bring the flood strictly to wipe them out. He did it primarily because all of the earth was wicked - every human being, all of it's culture was exceedingly wicked, and God would not allow the entire history of mankind to be as it was prior to the flood.
Atheism is the least intellectual idea ever produced by a human, and requires a person to be in denial of a large percentage of the accrued knowledge of mankind.
Atheists believe the universe is the only exception to the fact that all things have a cause, that an explosion produced astonishing order ultimately producing rock soup which came alive resulting in Michaelangelo, Beethoven, and space probes. Logical, scientific stuff if I ever heard it! Those atheists are so smart!
Evolution is disproven by millions of facts, such as the fact that polymerase is a product of it's own translation, which proves Special Creation.
Over 100 yrs ago, Evolution Theory was plausible for true naturalists because of their rejection of God. Biological science was rudamentary and archaic, and provided no information about the operations of the cell. Modern biology has very greatly changed what is known of genetics and biology. It has been discovered that life is based upon information which is digitally encoded and stored in a more compressed form than man's best computer technology. compression schemes. It possesses thousands of 3-dimensional information hierarchies directed to the cell. When the DNA molecule is supercoiled as chromatin, much of it's information is available to the cell which is not available when the molecule is uncoiled, and vice versa. Genetic information when read by the cell's machinery in one direction produces different information than when it is read by the cell's machinery in the other direction. This feature of design alone is so far superior to man's computer software that it is not currently possible for us to conceive how this could have been done while making all of it's information relevant and critical to the organism. It's individual information sequences are overlapping and nested sharing nucleotides between sequences across the entire molecule. It's sequences across the entire 7 ft. long molecule are organized to conform to linguistics laws which go beyond Zipf's law of Linguistics. It contains codes built upon codes which regulate the use of each other. A recent discovery is a code which lies upon codes for proteins, sharing it's base pairs, and regulates how to express those sequences for proteins. If we liken the mechanical funtions of the protein machines of the cell as it interacts with DNA, then the operations mirror the human language properties of phonetics, semantics, syntax, and grammar, and punctuation. The information input and output processing of DNA includes the analytical operations of proofreading, information comparison, cut, insert, copy-and-past, backup and restore, all of which operate by algorithmic operations which possess "if" and "when" statements, just like computer programs. Information, algorithms, and linguistics are all immaterial nature has no potential to produce them. They are products only producible by a mind. During the organism's development, the genetic information instructs the cell on how to turn on and off, like chemical light switches, many sequences of information of the DNA in a supremely complex and yet to be understood orchestral arrangement of various groupings and orders so as to build the structures of the organism. These patterns of genes being switched on and off is so complex that man will likely never be able to decipher it. Science has disproven evolution and proven that life was created. If you want to believe in evolution because you refuse to acknowledge the existence of our creator, nobody can stop you. But doing so is to be a denialists of the discoveries of modern science - things which the outdated concept of Charles Darwin over 150 yrs ago could not have predicted. Believing in evolution today is as antiquated as it was to believe that flies arose from meat or frogs arose from mud a century prior to Darwin. Today's evolutionists are hold-outs, and will be written of by future historians as the dogmatic denialists they are.
It is NO coincidence that "gay" insist on adopting SAME SEX children. Within the SMALL percentage of being "gay" the adopted kids by PERCENTAGE are molested MORE in the "gay"community than in the heterosexual community. THESE are FACTS. It is the exact OPPOSITE. "Gays" are driven to MOLEST same sex regardless of age. It is also true that "gays" prize YOUTH and that INCLUDES INFANTS! Yes, INFANTS - helpless human beings are routinely MOLESTED by "gay parents". Need I mention how being raised by "gay.
parents is emotionally confusing as well as ABUSIVE physically.
Yes, Mark Adams Brown, I glanced at your writing and YOU are telling the TRUTH.
In the military, "gays' - the "butch" type are threatening and molesting the more feminine of the "gay" people. For example with two "gay"males one ALWAYS pretends to be the "feminine half" and the other plays the extreme MACHO half. It is the MACHO one that is intimidating the other males that are more feminine into submission by FORCE. The same is true of the MACHO female lesbian. The "butch" female is intimidating the molesting the more feminine lesbian into submission. There is NOTHING normal about "gay" people!
A woman suspected of being a witch was beaten by a mob and died last week in Guarujá, Brazil, near the country's largest city, São Paulo. The attack was prompted by suspicions the woman was involved in a kidnapping in the area, following a Facebook post by a local news outlet, according to a report from Folha de São Paulo, the country's largest newspaper.
"Housewife Fabiane Maria de Jesus, 33, died last Monday (May 5) after being beaten by a group of people from Guarujá two days before," the report said. "The lynching ... was motivated by suspicion that Fabiane was connected to child abductions in the region thought to be linked to black magic rituals. According to Military Police, however, there is no indication that she had committed such a crime."
A video of the brutal attack shows a crowd gathered around the bound and unconscious woman. An attacker grabs de Jesus by her hair and slams her head into the ground. Then, another person on a bicycle ties one of her hands with a rope and drags her as the crowd cheers and throws trash at the dying woman. Police are investigating, and several people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
According to the Folha de São Paulo report, the attack was sparked by a warning shared through social media. The newspaper reported that the Facebook page for a local tabloid-style news outlet spread an alert claiming that a woman had been seen abducting children, and many believed her motivation was witchcraft. A sketch of the woman the news outlet claimed was a child abductor was included with the alert, and resembled the victim. Administrators for the Facebook page have since released a statement denying responsibility for the attack and stating that the page had merely passed along the unfounded rumors as a public service and never claimed the child-abduction rumor was true.
[Posted on an article announcing more evidence that cosmic rays affect the formation of lightning]
Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight. (Qur'an 24:43)
To quote from the article: "The answer to this mystery might lie in how thunderclouds possess vast numbers of electrically charged water droplets and ice nuggets." In this verse, mountains of clouds within which is hail is associated with lightning. The mystery, beginning to be solved now by modern science, was explained more than 1400 years ago. How did this happen? Is it by coincidence or are these signs that point to a greater power and a greater purpose?

"So what if? We've all seen how well FEMA handles emergencies. Do you really think you should put all your eggs in the proverbial Government basket? So let's assume an asteroid strikes the earth and you actually survive. How will you take care of yourself or protect your family?"
How will you take care of yourself or protect your family?
Obviously, stay away from Washington DC. After the impact destroys Washington, our lives will have a chance to be much better. No would be fuhrer trying to rule by decree. An end to regulations from bureaus without number. It is actually a pretty tempting prospect.
Since "science" the scientific principle and the scientific approach are all creations of man and man is an imperfect creature, then it lends to thought that man's theories are also imperfect. This is proved by man as he has yet to create any "perfect" item. (and I do mean any) If "man" with our imperfect minds is somehow right about evolution then our lives are fruitless, amounting to nothing, and death should be no more than a moment's passing thought When man dies he returns to dust having not improved anything...he has just moved along the evolutionary time line.
If Christians are right, then at death man without belief will find his soul in one hell of a hot place.
Since neither theory can yet be proven correct or incorrect your use of the word "fact" is erroneous, once again proving that man and his theories are imperfect.
You will note that man's science books are outdated in 5 years and are constantly being updated to "fit" new "evidence". Religion has no such updating now does it?
Those who fail to challenge idiocy are destined to be governed by it!
Science in and of itself DEFIES the theory of evolution. Here is simple proof. Remember the experiment done by Fransesco Redi in 1668 with the flies and rotting meat in jars? One was sealed, the other had a screen on top of it, and the last one was left open. The one that was sealed, obviously, had no flies. The one that had the screen on top had flies and maggots on the screen, and the one that was left open had flies and maggots all over the meat. That experiment proved the irrefutable fact that LIFE ONLY COMES FROM LIFE!
That being the case, how can an explosion over billions of years create life? An explosion would kill everything. Therefore, no life would exist to create life. Also, if the theory of evolution were true, wouldn't life find a way to adapt to the atmospheres on other planets? We have 9 planets in our solar system, 8 of which are uninhabited by ANY form of life. The Bible STATES that God created the universe. Evolution THEORIZES how the earth was created.
Factotum666 - I have a $1000.00 that you cannot explain to me how DNA functions or is created in the body with its billions of known codes is to have evolved with out a living God - I will bet you an additional $1000.00 that you cannot adiquitly explain the functions of a living cell and its billions of function without a living God to believe that some how a living cell or DNA could have come out of some soupy gaseous mix is the complete Apex of stupidity, pride and conceit
I find this article hilarious; it it perfectly typical of the so called "scientific" community and it's own religious bias against catastrophic events and for evolution. Here is conclusive evidence for powerful forces acting instataneously on the grand time scale ("just days"), but somehow that supports some evolutionary scale process for everything else that they "know" took billions of years. This type of evidence surely must be atypical since it is the only type of evidence that we ever can observe and therefore could never support a catastrophic event like a flood causing the Grand Canyon. Isn't that schizophrenic? I appreciate the laugh, though. The state-funded and mandated religion of evolution pervades all official scientific thinking against all evidence. Not one single evidence for macro-evolution EVER found and a shockingly huge abyss of "missing-links" and yet those who do not hold this religious view in the "scientific" community are ostracized and not permitted to enter and thrive in their field. "Ignorant on purpose" rules the day, but too bad we couldn't just follow the evidence.
(On an article explaining how bees fly.)
first of all nothing that was said here proves anything. Until they can take what was laid out in this artical and replicate how a bee flys it is just a theory... And I say it is totaly wrong!
Here is how bees fly!
Bee's and other buzzing insects displace gravity much like a gryo-scope does but in a 360 degree fasion. This is done by its system of passageways that our science believes is the bee's breathing system. Yes some of it is for breathing... but... The real reason is to push out ether which fills every cell and atom with "Mass". The bee is capable of removing an estimated 40 to 60% of the ether filling its atoms depending on how hard it is buzzing. The wings are just for stablization and thrust.
The Humming bird uses the same process.
Keep drinking the koolade science is selling... See where that get you.
Yes Read the garbage they put out but.... Think for your self!
P.S. aaronc
the theory of evolution has made NO CONTRIBUTIONS WHAT SO EVER to any modern technology. My goodness, you people are digging for things to say. Theres a difference b/t hard science and soft science. Your 'modern miracles' have nothing to do with evolution. Evolution does not 'improve knowledge', as you say. You act like bible believing christians are hindering all these things, when in fact it has been bible believing christians that have come up with most of the technology through the ages.
Please, for the love, stop pretending like I am railing against science...I love science. I hate bad science, and thats what evolution is. It is a faith based religion.
HgMerc, i'm asking the old chicken Vs. the egg Problem. which came first. life can't come from Nothing, just like the universe can't come from nothing. first rule of math anything times Nothing is still Nothing!!!!!! if you want to say it was added (can only happen with a creator) then fine.
as far as your gravity post, have you ever thought maybe that is why dark matter was invented, because the theory of gravity doesn't work?
Warning: Former Evolutionist's Testimony...
Evolution Definition: The changing of one species into an entirely new lifeform.
Occam's Razor: "When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better."
As a former, super devout evolutionist... this simple approach, mixed with that old fashioned scientific method (Theory, Observation & Conclusion)... and using just plain old commonsense... forever destroyed my faith in evolution... why?
1. Neither Creationism nor Evolution can be proven by the Scientific Method. (i.e. -neither can be observed)
2. Only Creationism honestly explains (in simple terms) where Space, Time, Energy & Matter came "from" 1 second before the Big Bang. Evolution cannot... why? Unlike Creationism (a supernatural / Trans-reality concept) ... Evolution can only explain what happened 1 Second "After" the Big Bang... because it is completely stuck with time & space. It does not know where Space, Time, Energy & Matter came from.
3. Why is it so hard to believe there is a Super Scientist (called God) with a lab existing outside our reality who intelligently planned & cooked up this awesomely cool reality (With such diversity... exists?
4. Creationism explains that a perfectly created life form was designed (with 1 or 2 sexes per species) and is perfectly suitable for its environment... or able to adapt (without changing species) to other environments.
5. Evolution cannot explain how changing species (or half baked) lifeforms in the middle of change could survive, adapt, mate and/or survive. Single sex lifeforms... perhaps... but we have two sex species on this planet. So, how did male & female species know how & when to evolve into a new sexually compatible lifeform... at the same time... in the same locale in order to mate, reproduce and prevent extinction? Random chance? Repeated billions of times for each life form? And you laugh at our belief in a Creator who did all this... intentionally? - Wow!
6. Scientist can't make up their minds about evolution... life... the beginnings of our reality. I got tired of them always changing their minds. They are frustrated little 'gods' who like to complicate the simplistic... because if God exists... that's just too humbling for many to handle.
Conclusion: The Creation Museum is open to scrutiny... they don't mind... they love discussing the science, facts, proofs that (don't prove) but best & easily support their beliefs better than Evolutionists do. They don't shy away from talking to Evolutionists... just the opposite.
I grew up watching Evolutionists insult and arrogantly close their minds to "alternate" beliefs... especially supernatural ones... that threatened their fragile belief system. Evolutionists see "truth" as something to fear... and perhaps they are right. But for the Creationist... truth is a welcomed friend.
Has anyone noted how open Creationist / "Creation" Scientists are to open debates in public forums, in scientific circles and schools? Whereas, Evolutionists / "Evolutionary" Scientists seem to avoid these forums whenever possible? Instead of being champions of "Free Thought" like Creationist demonstrate over and over... Evolutionists resort to insulting, marginalizing, undermining and restricting "Free Thought" that oppose them - Why? If they are right about this topic, why don't they seize each & every opportunity to prove it?
[NOTE: It is equally wrong for any religion to "force" or "shame" a belief system (i.e. like Creationism) on anyone. It violates an individual's God-given right to "Self-determination" and "Choice."]
And if Creationists are so wrong... then why are they so willing to talk out in the open; invite debate & discussion on such a foolish belief? People on the losing end of ANY debate (i.e. lacking facts, evidence, commonsense, stats...etc) AVOID open debates... seek to control what others believe... belittle non-conformists ...and... ahhh... hmmm... these sounds of 'retreat' sound more like strategy used by the all knowing Evolutionists... -interesting.
-You decide...
The argument makes sense--EXCEPT FOR ONE THING!!! In the Acts of the Apostles, the Lord declared that shellfish and reptiles and all the other animals have been made clean, and therefore are no longer unclean. However, in no part of the Bible does it say that homosexuals are tolerable. Eating shrimp is not bad. Homosexuality is bad.
As far as I can see, the reason that virginity pledges do not work is because pre-marital sex is no longer taboo. Sex is being glorified, when it should be shunned. Teenagers need to be taught that sex for any purpose other than procreation is an evil act. This way, they will avoid sex for fear of going to hell.
Besides that, condoms don't work.
Parents Pick Prayer Over Docs; Girl Dies
Police are investigating an 11-year-old girl's death from an undiagnosed, treatable form of diabetes after her parents chose to pray for her rather than take her to a doctor.
An autopsy showed Madeline Neumann died Sunday of diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition that left too little insulin in her body, Everest Metro Police Chief Dan Vergin said.
She had probably been ill for about a month, suffering symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite and weakness
The girl's mother, Leilani Neumann, said that she and her family believe in the Bible and that healing comes from God, but that they do not belong to an organized religion or faith.
"We just noticed a tiredness within the past two weeks,'' she said Wednesday. "And then just the day before and that day (she died), it suddenly just went to a more serious situation. We stayed fast in prayer then."
Madeline Neumann hadn't seen a doctor since she got some shots as a 3-year-old.
Leilani Neumann said she and her husband are not worried about the investigation because "our lives are in God's hands. We know we did not do anything criminal. We know we did the best for our daughter we knew how to do.''
Comment on Article "Whopping Fish Declared New Species"
There is no such thing as "a new species." Also,things do not evolve now, never do, and never will for that matter. Missing Links, are not reality. They will never be found because they do not exist. Evolutionists are always looking for excuses to avoid acknowledging that God is the Creator of heaven and earth, and everything in heaven and on the earth. They do this be saying stuff "evolved'' and other such things are obviously not true. No matter what they say, God is the Creator of all things and to him be the glory!
You who belive in Darwin can you prove we came from apes? What proff do you have? Can a tornado after picking up debliss spit out a brand new car? No it cannot. Nethier does anything in life coincidentally happen. We and nature where all created. He fringer prints are everywhere. Evolution is a lie and it cannot be proven that we came from apes. It takes more faith to belive in evolution than it does in a Creator. Open up your minds. God created science, not man.

i agree with fireheaven, the majority of scientists make up stuff or make themselves believe, that what they are saying is true and that it fits into what their ideas are.
although fireheaven you are wrong about how the dinosaurs died. it says so in the Bible, i believe with Peter, that "there were great beasts in the land" which could refer to dino's. i mean think about it loch ness monster, take a look at a photo of it or a detailed rendition of it; doesn't it look like a dinosaur. i mean i do agree that the oxygen and nitrogen levels went down after The Great Flood but that just made it so they did not live as long or grow as fast either. i mean humans have even suffered from it as well, if you lived in a oxygen and nitrogen content chamber that was suffienct to the pre-flood world even for a few months and it had the same electromagnetic field as the pre-flood you would be healthier. humans lived much longer and were so much bigger than what we are now.
EVOLUTION DOES NOT EXIST!
The Council of Nicea did nothing for Christianity.
It did, however, help omulate and foster the beginnings of the Roman Catholic Church and its rise to power.
The independent Christians, including the precursors to what are today call Baptists, by and large refused to participate in that council because it, in itself, was not biblical.
The idea of a Universal Church was a Catholic (Greek- "Katholicos" which means "Universal") invention which was never accepted by true, bible-believing Christians. The direct descendents of those early Christians that predated the existence of the Catholic Church by several centuries are represented today by the Independent Baptist Churches that exist throughout the world. This can be proven by a direct historically verifiable lineage from the Church that Christ started. And those churches of today and those of our historical lineage on back through the centuries to the time of Christ himself, predating the Catholic Church by several centuries, never questioned the divinity of Christ.
"Monkeys and humans evolved from a common ancestor." Is part of your responds which you obviously didn't read before you posted it because if you did you would see you validate my point. If we both derived from the same source or ancestor then how do we differ so much? Did the current day monkey devolve and we evolved? Your right the common ancestor is dirt thats what God made everything from that is why everything goes back into the dirt when it dies.
my question regarding the earth was not answered. I asked who put the oxygen? who designed the distance? who made it rotate. This is life. It is for purpose. evolution did not communicate its purpose to us. God did.
Show me how planets were made? It is part of life collectively.
I have just a fundamental understanding of science, with a B.S. in nursing. During my course study we touched on molecular biology. The pure evolutionist contends that coming from amorphous gas, matter, and basic elements, somehow, the most simple form of life came into being, the amebia. The missing link, in my mind, is how life progressed from something like an amebia, which doesn't have a cell nucleus to a cell with a nucleus. If one understands how complicated the nucleus of a cell is, which we are still trying to understand on the molecular level; this is what the evolusionist has to answer. Furthermore, the nucleus of more advanced cells are involved in Dna synthesis and Dna and Rna replication. It would appear that these processes are the most complcated coding systems on the planet and isn't there always intelligence behind coding
There's a book I'm writing called "Evolution 4 Dummies". I'll give you a breif summary- free, at no cost to you: If evolution is undoubtly true, why are there still primates? Why haven't they evolved into humans? Why haven't we evolved into some other creature by now? I'll tell you why- because evolution is the equivalent to blowing smoke up someones hiny! No man will ever be able to truly prove this thought of evolution because it's just not solid. Now take into comparison, the Holy Bible (KJV)- with all of the milleniums man has spent trying to disprove and distroy the infallible Word of God- It's still here. The truth from the time Jesus Christ walked the earth till now is still strong and present. Now- there's no need to rewrite what the Bible says, but it's been rewritten not due to error in information, but simply for the convenience of man. "Proof" of Evolution will always be rewritten and changed because you can only keep up a lie but for so long.
I'm doing an autograph signing in the Fall! Praise God
Missing links?
Personally I think evolution is so funny...i mean look at the photo of number 4...come on! it's like something from the movie Planet of the Apes. (Great movie though).
I mean any person who studies the human brain knows that it is so complex that is would be impossible for it to come from any other creature.
Plus no one ever tells us where evolution came from. Who created the first cell that changed? Where are all the millions and millions of years of fossils?
Great recommendation with the Lee Strobel book; it's a must read i feel.
