“Does Mr. O have any serious intent on stopping Ebola from becoming a pandemic in this country or is the plan to do as little as possible? Appointing a Dem political operative as Ebola czar with no medical background at all seems to answer the above question. Better make your own preparations folks, counting on the government would seem foolhardy.” Admin Obama has appointed Ron Klain as the Ebola Czar. Klain has no medical or healthcare background whatsoever. Instead, he’s a high-powered lobbyist. He helped the corrupt Fannie Mae to overcome “regulatory issues” in 2004. Wikipedia notes: Klain [helped in]

By Creation Moments The lowly earthworm is one of the most under-appreciated little creatures on Earth. People probably don’t appreciate the earthworm because it’s not very pretty. Biology textbooks say that the earthworms were among the first simple land creatures to evolve. Well, clearly there hasn’t been much evolution since, and they are not that simple. The earthworm has a well-developed nervous system, a brain and ten hearts! read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments

By Creation Moments Hydraulics are part of our everyday lives. Fluids – such as the brake fluid used in your car – cannot be compressed, so when you step on the brake pedal that fluid can be forced from a cylinder into the braking mechanisms attached to your wheels. All hydraulic machines work in a similar way because the fluid used will flow easily to areas where there is less pressure. read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments
The largest student union in the United Kingdom has rejected a motion to condemn ISIS for its brutal treatment of the Kurds on the grounds that it could be seen as anti-Muslim “Islamophobia,” a British newspaper has reported. The political split in the student body over the conflict in the Middle East erupted after a motion was put forward last month to the executive council of the National Union of Students. It asked students to express “solidarity” with the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who are engaged in a bloody struggle against ISIS terrorists, reported the Independent. Robert Spencer, author

With 30 states now legalizing same-sex “marriage” — 11 court decisions overturned marriage protection amendments this month alone — many are fearing that Christian wedding vendors may become extinct as quickly as the 20 remaining states that still honor marriage as a union only between one man and one woman. Since Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago in 2004, dozens of homosexual couples have sued Christian wedding vendors who have refused to offer their services for ceremonies that go against their biblical beliefs. And the lawsuits — many spurred by homosexual activists and the

By Ken Ham According to news reports (including on Fox News yesterday), a school district in Lincoln, Nebraska has recently given its teachers a handout to promote gender inclusiveness in their classrooms. This handout encourages teachers to stop referring to students as “girls and boys” but instead to describe students as a group, with phrases like “calling all readers” or “hey campers.” Instead of separating the children into groups of boys and girls, teachers are being urged to divide the students by things such as whether they prefer milk or juice or perhaps skateboards or bikes, to create classroom …read

By Ken Ham Black holes form the background in many science fiction stories. But black holes are not fictional. A black hole, as you probably know, is so massive and dense that even light cannot escape from its enormous gravity, so it is invisible. Even though we cannot “see” black holes the way we see a star or the moon, there is overwhelming observational evidence that they do exist. Astronomers are able to see the effects of their enormous gravity on other things in space. So if that is the case, why have two secular scientists now claimed that black

By Creation Moments Modern criticism of the Bible began in the late 1700s and has continued to this day. The usual claim, often from Bible scholars, has been that the Bible is nothing more than error-filled human writings. Before serious excavation work had begun in the mid-1800s, scholars felt free to consider lack of evidence as proof that people, cities, and even whole nations mentioned in the Bible never existed. read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments

“The screening methods being used in the US and UK appear to be little more than a farce. We are in trouble folks.” Admin Britain’s Ebola screening plans descended into chaos on its first day today after people flying to the UK from high risk countries revealed the checks are not compulsory. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said airline passengers from West Africa must be checked for symptoms ‘to make our country safe’ and warned the epidemic could be as deadly as Aids. He also warned Britain should expect up to ten cases by Christmas as screening of passengers from Sierra

By Discovery Institute On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin talks with Dr. Ann Gauger about her criticisms of the PBS video, “There Was No First Human,” that attempts to show how evolutionary change happens.

“America, becoming the new Sodom” Admin Officials with the city of Houston, Texas, who are defending a controversial ordinance that would allow men to use women’s restrooms now have demanded to see the sermons preached by several area pastors. The recent move came in a subpoena from the city to pastors for copies of their sermons and other communications in the city’s legal defense of a “non-discrimination” measure that allows “gender-confused” people to use public restrooms designated for the opposite sex. A lawsuit challenging Houston’s move alleges the city violated its own charter in its adoption of the Equal Rights

“This is insane letting them come here. Over 4000/month and do you think that that all those with Ebola will be found by using the methods of screening they are doing, not likely. It only takes a few infected individuals circulating in society to potentially unleash a catastrophe. As the situation in these countries continues to deteriorate most likely the number of people wanting to come here will increase. If you are not right with God get right! The world is spiraling out of control and the only real security to be found comes from God.” Admin Both Homeland Security
