Scientist Craig Venter creates life for first time in laboratory sparking debate about ‘playing god’
For some reason, this reminds me of a joke… the punchline was something like “Oh yeah! Make your own dirt!”
Seriously, this is described as creating new life?
Is the empty cell created by the scientist?
Is the DNA language created by the scientist?
Is the machinery for replicating the DNA created by the scientist?
It seems to me, that in man’s arrogance, he does not acknowledge the gifts God has endowed to him, like creativity. And he then uses the gift of God’s creativity, borrows some of His dust, changes a few things around, and then he has the audacity to call it creation!

On Education Standards
This was an interesting read. I understand the slant of the New York Times, anything liberal is very good, but conservative ideas are shocking and abnormal.
The article seems to carry its intended slant toward dialectic.
The conservatives on the Texas Board of Education seem to be adding balance. Some ideas, like eschewing Thomas Jefferson and Latinos in history are just wrong.
However, it is the liberals who are on the wrong side on McCarthy, the origin of man, the Founding Fathers and especially, separation of church and state.
If you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it! We have been taught the separation of church and state protects the government from religion! It does not, it protects the church from intrusion by the government, read what it says in the first right in the first amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
You see, if they can weaken or change this basic right, all of the others can be modified to fit the needs of the state, also!
Our founding fathers were very smart, and they knew the Author of our rights was not any man, nor any institution established by man. Our rights are established by God Himself and cannot be taken from us.
It is the goal of the various “isms” vaunted about today to establish a secular government. One that does not recognize God, yet places government in that role. This was the exact opposite goal of the founders.
We are now reaping the fruits of progressivism foisted upon us in a public education system established by John Dewey. These fruits, although appearing beautiful and seemingly harmless, were designed to poison us over time.
Little by little, the ideas of Marx and other socialists, have been gobbled up by Americans in small pieces. They are offered to us under the names of psychology, sociology, evolution and economics. But now, when we find ourselves increasingly burdened by the shackles imposed upon us by these ideas, we yearn for liberty.
It is high time we throw out evil in all of its forms. We must start with the so-called experts who would readily have us shackled in irons under the guise of democracy. Democracy is NOT liberty. Liberty comes from God, Who transcends time and space!
The evil that hides behind a cloak of democracy, is the same evil that established itself in the mind of man in Genesis 3:4-5. It is evil to place the created thing on the throne of God.
Marxism, communism and socialism all place government as god. If then, your rights are established by this god, they can also be removed by this god. These “isms” use code words, one of the easiest to spot is democracy. Democracy is the tyranny of the majority. Democracy is the enemy of liberty.
There is one political party in the United States that has historically been on the wrong side of every moral issue. They have covered their lack of morality with platitudes designed to make all feel good. All the while, removing, in little bits, the very liberty given to you by your Creator.
Choose carefully, those you would have in authority over you. Do they intend to use that authority in service, or for servitude?

Top home-school texts dismiss Darwin, evolution
One could almost bet, there will be a requirement that homeschoolers get some education in the theory of evolution.
How could the communists promulgate their utopian lie?
You need to start with the youngest, indoctrinating them at an early age. It is simple really, pick up any book written about dinosaurs whose target audience is around kindergarten age. Invariably, amongst the first few words are… “Millions of years ago.”
You see, when you start young, and repeat it enough, these words creata a frame of reference, or a worldview. It is a sort of lens through which everything you hear or see is filtered.
The trouble is, it is so pervasive, those that have this worldview fully developed, believe their worldview is the only rational, thoughtful and reasonable explanation for the physical world. See the quote below from a “Christian” mother!
“I thought she was going to have a coronary,” Mule said of her daughter, who is now 16 and taking college courses in Houston. “She’s like, ‘This is not true!’”
The Associated Press went to a duly titled “scientist,” Jerry Coyne to find the “truth” about the situation. Coyne, an ecology and evolution professor at the University of Chicago said…
“I feel fairly strongly about this. These books are promulgating lies to kids,”
Really?
It seems the only partial truth I see discussed in the article is “Those who do not believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God will find many points in this book puzzling.” I would not agree with this statement either, since the Bible is clear about what is required to go to heaven, believing it is inerrant, or even inspired is not one of them.
While some would call the fields of evolution and ecology “sciences,” I tend to think they are more philosophical. The reasoning is that true science is empirical, we can neither study these two fields empirically because of the vast amounts of time that may or may not be required.
As for what is required to go to heaven, the Bible is clear, “that iif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” For the full context, read Romans 10:5-13.
Evolution is the basis of the LIE, that man will be like God. (Man came from dirt and is evolving to be better.) This is the original sin of Lucifer. (Isaiah 14:12-14)
As my friend Don pointed out today, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped created things rather than the Creator.” (Romans 1:25)

OlberGoebbels mocks Creationists
Really?
Lemme see… man, created in the image of God… seems plausible.
Yet we are expected to believe…
Millions of years of rain falling on the hot rock of a young Earth… minerals collecting… lightning sparking and *poof*… an amino acid…
The same process happening a lot of times… and *poof*… a single cell… a cell with complex machinery to fold proteins exactly as needed to replicate the cell…
And *poof* that cell makes other cells that differentiate themselves and what they will do to sustain life in a collective…
And *poof*…
Oops… my bad… sounds like politics today. Just because you say it does not mean it it true… and most likely, is not!

Good: Nuclear Doomsday Clock Turned Back; Bad: Board Didn’t Factor In Iran
For those who do not know, the doomsday clock lets us know how close we are to the end of the world. It started as a measure of how close the world was to nuclear annihilation, but has since been changed to include all forms of worldwide cataclysmic disaster capable of destroying all life on Earth.
Read the article, pay attention to the list of scientists who are responsible for setting the hands on this clock. Most are atheists, some well known.
While the article takes The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists to task for excluding a nuclear Iran, it is the other exclusion that comes to my mind.
As we march toward the rapture and tribulation, the bible gives us certain signs… among them are:
- People going to and fro and knowledge shall be increased (Daniel 12:4) – we live in unprecedented times of travel and spend so much time traveling, and knowledge increases daily
- We have become lovers of self and money (2 Timothy 3:1-4) – Spa treatments, plastic surgery, every advertisement you see wants you to spend your money on you! People are arrogant and unforgiving and there is a grand lack of self-control
- Increasing deception (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12) – We are deceived constantly and daily, be the press corps, by our politicians and by our own selves.
We are witnessing the signs, those of us who have read the book and understand know. The enemy, the lawless one spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:8 is already at work. He knows his time is short.
In my opinion, this is just more of the deception, more of the lie. A false peace and safety… look around, people say peace and those (anti-Christ) peace signs are everywhere. Could this be what is spoken of in Thessalonians 5:1-4?
Pay attention, we are being groomed to follow a worldwide leader. That isn’t so bad, but people will want to worship this leader… and he will want and accept their worship!

Sea level rise affects the Keys
While Mr. Neugent may attempt to find a resolution to the issues he faces as an elected official in the Florida Keys, using pseudo-science to exact tribute from the rest of tax-paying Americans is wrong. Subscribing to global climate change as the cause of the perceived problems he faces in his position of service is fallacious!
Those scientists who espouse the doctrine of Anthropogenic Global Warming have been debunked, permanently! The science involved requires findings to further those conditions required for more government funding. This is the essence of corruption!
People who choose to make their homes on the seashore or any other body of water need to realize THEY assume the risks of their choice. You have chosen to live in an island paradise, yet you would choose to spread your risk to me, why?
Those who choose to live along bodies of water, where property prices command a premium, would presume upon the rest of us to subsidize your choice of home. Well, history proves coastlines, shorelines and riverbanks change over time. The challenge for humans to interrupt this change are indeed steep, and probably far too expensive to be practical.
While it is a problem… Man being the cause is far-fetched! However, to presume to ask all of the rest of us to subsidize your choice of homestead is wrong!
If you are fighting a losing battle, perhaps it is Providence telling you to find another place to live. These are the hardships humanity has faced for ages. For those who choose to live on ATOLLS, where shorelines change frequently, a dose of reality is in order! Maybe it is time that government officials, who’s first priority is maintaining the status quo, need to stop coddling their constituents.
For those homeowners who live in the Keys, perhaps it is time to evaluate your future, and change your plans accordingly. Be smart, there is NOTHING humans can do to change the shorelines that is not astronomically expensive and can last for more than a generation!
Quit using climate change as a way to exact tribute from me!

Science and Religion… are they the same?
For those who are paying attention, have you noticed a pattern lately?
It seems that those cartoons I grew up on, where a certain villain wanted to take over the world, were prognostications. In this case, though, there isn’t any one particular “person” who is doing this.
However, there does seem to be a concerted effort, everywhere, to harness the political will of the world in one entity. And with that, control everything you and I do. I am continually astounded at how fast things are happening.
There are hints appearing daily, and all seem to be small pieces to a larger puzzle. Starting with the engineered recession in 2008, leading to TARP. Then came G-20 and global socialism, followed by single-payer health care, cap and trade, and now climategate. The latest revelation is from a scientist stepping forward declaring a concerted push of what really is a religion. This scientist, a hurricane expert, rips anthropogenic global warming saying, “There has been an unrelenting quarter century of one-sided indoctrination.”
You can also find a push for worldwide population control. Now other countries have joined China’s call for a one child policy! The ultimate goal is controlling every aspect of your life! Perhaps, the boogieman is real, and he is pulling the strings. Your life and your freedom is at stake!
Who is this boogieman? Well, funny thing, in Islam, part of the purification ritual is to rinse your nose out in the morning and before prayer, this is called Ablution. This is because Islam teaches that Satan dwells up in the nose overnight!
Yea, I do believe Satan is real… and I also believe he is the mastermind!
Consider this… Lazy, duped American voters choose ”progressive” politicians because of the promise of goodies from a “benevolent” government. It is fitting, that they choose their own SLAVEMASTERS and willingly indenture themselves! What is more shocking is that they have purchased their own shackles, by supporting progressive environmentalist and animal rights groups with their own hard earned treasure in the name of benevolence.
It is ironic, and perhaps, just. But amidst all of this I am saddened. Saddened, because in this, they have rejected their own freedom. Worse yet, they have willingly and blatantly rejected God’s provision of righteousness for themselves, Jesus! (John 3:16-21)
So I ask… Are you tired of the lies?
Have you reject eternal life all for more leisure and a season to sin?
Did you know… That work is also a gift from God? (Genesis 3:17)
Are you prepared for the certain future of a tyrannical one-world government?
Behold… He says He is coming quickly! (Revelation 3:20; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 22:7,12,20)
Repent, that is change your mind. Reject the lie (Genesis 3:4-5,) that you are your own god. Trust Jesus as your only salvation as you would trust a parachute as Paul says in Romans 3:21-26

Climategate Computer Codes Are the Real Story
To heck with the emails… they were only a significant portion of the dump. There are README notes of a frustrated programmer trying to get the data to say what someone else had made it say before.
Global warming is not caused solely, nor even mostly, and probably ever, by man. There are other undetermined causes that have not been investigated, because there is no government funding nor ability to control everyone’s lives by trading AIR!
Science by government grant is welfare!

Seriously Folks, Can You Trust Government Funded Science?
Just a quick glance around at some of the news stories…
Researcher: NASA hiding climate data – Washington Times
Americans appropriately skeptical of climate scientists
CLIMATE CHANGE: THIS IS THE WORST SCIENTIFIC SCANDAL OF OUR GENERATION
I think it is time to rethink government grants. It is my opinion,as an observer of human nature, that these scientists who labor under government grants may be far less than unbiased.
Think about it… if the job you had was to further research and understanding of AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming.) And you were being paid as a result of a government grant. Knowing that any results of your work that do not support the idea of AGW could jeopardize your funding, what do you do?
There is a built in conflict of interest.
However, there is a far worse scientific scandal that is currently in its second century…
I will give you a clue… This scandal is supported by your tax dollars by paying for public school textbooks that report repudiated theories as part of science for well over 30 years now. This so called science is not, it is propped up by early brainwashing of students. This gives them a particular worldview that forever clouds their thinking, If these repudiated theories would be removed from the textbooks, then this particular religion cloaked as science would be utterly exposed!
Can anyone guess what that is?

No men OR women needed: artificial sperm and eggs created for first time | Mail Online
This is an interesting read to say the least. I marvel at how far we advance in science… yet how little we truly understand it.
Yes, we can do great and wonderful things, even manipulate existing DNA. We are at the forefront of a brave new world.
But… do we really know what we are doing? Science says that up to 95% percent of the human genome is made of “junk DNA.” Some say it is junk, left over from evolution others say it may have new uses. Regardless, we don;t really know!
Yet, they can manipulate this and create different kinds of cells from stem cells. This is great and may lead to new therapies.
But the tell… comes in the comments:
Don’t keep publishing stories like this ! It upsets the ‘Creationists’ – we aren’t supposed to be able to create life, you see, it is all down to the great master in the sky !
I have to really laugh at stuff like this! The commenter has failed in critical thought. Here’s how:
First… I am a “creationist” and am not upset about a story like this… unless, the stem cells were removed from an aborted baby.
Second… “we” (I read that as human beings) have NOT created life… “we” have only manipulated a few stem cells to make sperm and eggs. This is a natural existing process.
Third… He is the Great Master, but does not reside in the sky. That is language you use to make sense of God to yourself.
What I would really like for science to achieve is this… to create their own dust from nothing, merge this dust into their own elements, create their own error-correcting genetic code, create a living cell with that code, and then have that living cell replicate and evolve into a higher life form. These are some of the simpler tasks… but an already existing single cell organism is so vastly complex that science cannot create one, from nothing.
This commenter does not understand that these scientists are using Someone else’s dust and His patterns. That does not really impressive me or scare me at all.
Romans 1:18-22 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Look really hard at those single cells… explain how the genetic code came into existence without a sender and receiver who have agreed in advance to the code, otherwise it would be gibberish. Explain your way out of irreducible complexity. Or try something easy how does biochemical protein folding EVOLVE into being?
