Proof The Bible Is True

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 [More]

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 [More]

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 [More]

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 [More]

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 [More]

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. The video makes the claim that evolution has been a continuous and gradual process–a claim that many evolutionary biologists would disagree with, and that is not supported by evidence from the fossil record.

“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 [More]

“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 [More]

The UK authorities are operating a surveillance system where “anything goes” and their interceptions are more intrusive to people’s privacy than has been seen in the US, Edward Snowden said. Speaking via Skype at the Observer Ideas festival, held in central London, the whistleblower and former National Security Agency specialist, said there were “really no limits” to the GCHQ’s surveillance capabilities. He said: “In the UK … is the system of regulation where anything goes. They collect everything that might be interesting. It’s up to the government to justify why it needs this. It’s not up to you to justify [More]

Jurassic mammals made headlines recently, as Chinese paleontologists described six tiny skeletons comprising three new species. The squirrel-like fossils break the long-held idea that most so-called “dinosaur-era” mammals resembled shrews. These newfound mammals look like they lived in trees—not underground like shrews. Do the new fossils help evolutionists clarify their story for the origin of mammals, or do they crank more twists into evolution’s troubled saga? More… …read more Read more here: icr.org     

A recent Huffington Post1 article penned by David Bronner, President of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, highlights the dire problems we face as pesticide use on genetically engineered crops continue to rise. It’s quite shocking to realize that the way we grow food in the US, as well as many other regions of the world, is producing a toxic legacy that our descendants will undoubtedly struggle with as time goes on. Land, waterways, and food itself is becoming increasingly toxic, thanks to the seemingly unlimited greed of chemical technology companies. Mr. Bronner offers a summary of Dr. Ramon J. Seidler’s paper [More]

That’s how I’m most comfortable. I’m just a person wearing people clothes, who likes to look like myself and have others see me how I see me. The reporter sympathizes [More]
