Could Evolution Do This?

Consider The Wood Pecker:

Moore's Beach Monster - Santa Cruz, California

Another interesting article on CSE's website tackles another possible type of plesiosaurus. I can't emphasize enough how much this stuff literally fascinates and excites me! I love reading about this. This kind of research and testimony only confirms God's word and puts to shame the "millions of years" religion. There are countless stories of various sightings of historic creatures being spotted, found and/or washing up on shores. This story was of a type of plesiosaurus found washed up on Monterey Bay by Charles Moore in California 70 yrs ago. It's a very interesting story and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think and conclude after hearing the findings for yourself. What's striking is that almost all of the accounts say the same thing when describing the creature. They all describe the head as looking like a ducks head and it's neck ranging from 30-35 ft long. These are separate eye witness accounts and though we have to judge them carefully I can't help but notice the harmony in their descriptions. I think we should really take them into account. Additionally, famous world renowned and respectable scientist have thoroughly examined and investigated the creature and concluded that this was some type of "prehistoric" creature.

E.L. Wallace, a man who served twice as president of the Natural History Society of British Columbia said:

"My examination of the monster was quite thorough. I felt in its mouth and found
it had no teeth. Its head is large and its neck fully twenty feet long. The body
is weak and the tail is only three feet in length from the end of the backbone.
These facts do away with the whale theory, as the backbone of a whale is far
larger than any bone in this animal. Again, its tail is too weak for an animal
of the deep and does away with that last version. "With a bill like it
possesses, it must have lived on herbage . . . I would call it a type of
plesiosaurus."

I also told you all that I would do a post on the TRex blood cells found in fresh bones in 1990. I will supply a link to one of the hundreds of stories written on the find and also incorporate a cool video on the topic. And I will also note once again that the find further shows how the evolutionary theory is one of the greatest hindrances to science that man has ever known. I say this because some who have examined the TRex are stunned as to how red blood cells could have survived for 65 million years.

"Bones, of course, don’t stay fresh very long—certainly not for millions of
years. These discoveries clearly indicate that dinosaurs were around
recently". - Dr. Robert Doolan

They are baffled at this! Not for once contemplating that maybe there is a possibility that it's not 65 million years old and falls perfectly in line with a young earth which is what the bible has stated all along. Note to evolutionists: "TAKE THE EVOLUTIONARY GOGGLES OFF AND GO WHERE THE EVIDENCE TAKES YOU!" It is also by no means a stretch to say that there could possibly be dinosaurs still among us today. There are countless harmonious sightings all over the world. In addition there are remote places in the world (like the remote jungles of the Republic of the Congo, in central western Africa) that haven't even been explored yet due to their vast size. http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v15/i4/dinosaurs.asp

We are uncovering new species all the time. Most of the dinosaurs fossils found are from small dinosaurs the size of chickens. The percentage escapes me at this time but it's a fairly large percent.

Shocking Youth Message Stuns Hearers

This video blew me away! The video was sent to me by my good friend and brother in the faith Keith from KidsPeace. This was a truly shocking and convicting message that spoke to me immensely. This man of God, without a doubt, has challenged me to avoid living with one foot in the kingdom of Heaven and one foot in the world. One of the major truths in the video is if we are Christians and we are supposed to be different, why then do we look, act, listen and watch everything else the world does? Listen to some of the staggering statistics he puts out. I recommend a book I have just read called "UnChristian" for more staggering statistics. As a Christian, this is a major wake up call to me.

"At one point in this sermon the 5,000 Youth are clapping and yelling BUT THEN the preacher makes a comment that CHANGES THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE TO WHERE YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP... As you can imagine, the preacher was never invited back"


I guarantee you I will watch this video several more times until this message sinks in and speaks to the very soul within me. And as King David forced his soul to praise and place it's hope in God so I will force my soul to listen and understand these things and the things of God.

I urge you if you can, plug some headphones in at work if you are allowed to listen to something and just minimize it on the screen and listen. I guarantee you this message will change you. If it doesn't then I would ask you to "examine yourself" as Paul the Apostle said "to see if you are in the faith". I realize this may offend some but the fact of the matter is if God is in this, then the presence of God is in your hearing and every true believer knows that when you are in the presence of God it's impossible to remain unchanged.

I can honestly say it's been a long time since a message like this has come along and moved me in this manner. I would love to hear your comments on this. Do you think he (the pastor) was right in preaching what he did?

The Gap Theory - Compliment Or Contradiction to Scripture?

The Gap Theory in my opinion and the opinion of most of the biblical scholars who's work I have read is one of the biggest compromises of scripture in order to "accommodate" mans secular ideas ever proposed. I find it shocking how this teaching directly contradicts scripture and how God said he did it. The biggest thing they seem to forget is that "scripture interprets scripture". In Exodus 20 (a considerable amount of time after Genesis) God said "For in six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is" He then goes on to say he "rested on the seventh day" Wow! if a day is a million years that would be some rest huh? I would love to tell my boss "hey I'll be back in a million, I'm taking a little break from work.



And since those who profess to be Christians want to obey Christ (Matt 28:20) and since we who follow Jesus are Little Christ, Christ Followers, or one who is in Christ etc.... we should obey all that Jesus taught should we not? So then if Jesus quotes the old testament and believed it literally, shouldn't we? Jesus spoke about creation a number of times as well as the other authors of the new testament. And Jesus said "my words will never pass away" A list of old testament quotes being quoted in the new testament - http://www.bible.ca/b-canon-old-testament-quoted-by-jesus-and-apostles.htm


CSE has a couple of great articles they released in which one I will link to here and one in another post. Comments are welcome. Enjoy the quick video if you don't have time to read the article.

The Church Of Oprah Winfrey

Some of you, if you follow any type of christian news radio, articles or podcast may have heard of what's going on in Oprah Winfrey land. There is a huge stir, especially from "true" believers and Christ followers in opposition of her teachings and those who influence her. In short, it seems there is an attempt to "reinvent" God and who He is. Normally I wouldn't be bothered or alarmed at such claims as this but I can't help but be concerned over it. We should be praying about this as most of us know Ohprah is a very powerful and influential person. It's no wonder the enemy would want to use her.

As Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer of the D.L. Moody Church in Chicago, Illinois states in his teaching against this blasphemous demonically inspired religion, Satan is using the same lie he used in the Garden "Ye shall be like God". The new world view teaches that you are god and that there is no need to "cling to that old rugged cross" This is a major contradiction in terms. It is the cross that sets us free! There you will find me sitting at the foot of it always remembering what Jesus did for me. He took my place, my punishment and my shame. All my sin was nailed to it! This is the gospel, the good news! Paul said "hate what is evil, cling to what is good"

All in all, these teachings alarm me greatly and I can't help but get a sense of the end times closing in on us. I'm reminded of scripture in 2 Timothy 4 where it says "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

Evolution - A Fairy Tale For Grownups

There is a new book that has come out by Ray Comfort and Living Waters Ministry. It's called "Evolution - A Fairy Tale For Grownups" I'm looking forward to reading it. I have also found a video on YouTube for your listening and viewing enjoyment :)



Evolution - A Fairy Tale For Grownups

From the Living Waters Website -

101 questions to shake believer's blind faith in the theory From the Introduction: "I don't claim to be a great expert on the subject of evolution, but I have quoted well-known evolutionists, who reveal in their own words, the unscientific nature of that in which they have so blindly placed their faith.""So it's now up to you to make a choice as to whether you are a believer or not, and then to follow the implications. When you read this book, keep in mind the wise words of Richard Dawkins: 'And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: 'What kind of evidence is there for that?' And if they can't give you a good answer, I hope you'll think very carefully before you believe a word they say.'""I would rather believe in fairy tales than in such wild speculation." - Ernst Chain, Nobel Prize winner

"The Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century." - Michael Denton, Molecular Biologist

"Darwin's evolutionary explanation of the origins of man has been transformed into a modern myth, to the detriment of scientific and social progress." - Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior

Paleontologist Philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge warned that evolution will be "one of the great jokes in the history books of the future." Millions are convinced that the theory of evolution is a proven scientific fact, which is a sad testimony to human ignorance and naivety. Hopefully, you will "think very carefully" after hearing evidence from leading evolutionists and scientists, as they reveal the baseless and unscientific nature of the theory of evolution.

Quote Of The Day

Our special quote of the day is from a Professor of Biology at Harvard University, Dr. George Wald.


"When it comes to the origin of life on this earth, there are only two possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation (evolution). There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved 100 years ago, but that leads us only to one other conclusion: that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds (personal reasons); therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance."

- George Wald, winner of the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize in Science, in Lindsay, Dennis, "The Dinosaur Dilemma," Christ for the Nations, Vol. 35, No. 8, November 1982, pp. 4-5, 14.

Are We Just Lucky Mud?

Hello Folks. I've enclosed a great short article by CSE (Creation Science Evangelism) on the obserdity of the evolutionary theory, but more importantly it's effects on those who dare to question it in an educational and occupational setting. I've read of many teachers and scientist who have been out right targeted by those they worked for. It would seem even after they were terminated or their funding was "no longer available" their employers went to great lengths to destroy their reputation and credibility making it difficult for them to gain employment elsewhere, let alone tenure. I keep asking myself over and over again what is it about questioning evolution and Darwinism that evolutionist cant stand so much and go extremely out of their way in defense of the theory? Why are they so defensive and headstrong to bring creationist down? Why not just disagree and leave it at that? On the way to work today I was listening to Ben Stein being interviewd on Focus on the Family. He stated the obvious and great point of "If there is an Intelligent Designer then maybe he will hold them accountable for their moral behavior" and that is something that an evolutionist or an atheist never wants to admit or consider. One of the best quotes I've heard an evolutionist say was by an oppenant of Dr. Kent Hovind's durring a creation vs evolutionism debate. He said "At the end of the day either God exist or he doesn't, both possibilities are frightening". For the one who doesn't beleive God exist, this should ring very true in their lives. As for the "Expelled" movie, I have emailed my pastor in regards to setting something up to ensure the movie gets it's deserving exposure in our area much like we did with the Passion of the Christ. I would like to encourage you guys to do the same at the churches you attend. If anyone needs any info on the movie just shoot me an email jsirianni7@gmail.com Enjoy the article.

Are We Just Lucky Mud?
Imagine pulling the lever of a slot machine and the only way to win is to hit the jackpot two hundred and fifty times in a row. The odds are against you. Yet, these are the same odds that would have to be overcome for the simplest life-form to evolve and form each of the two hundred and fifty proteins by random chance. It’s seemingly impossible.

Little was known about the complexities of a single cell when Darwin birthed his theory of evolution. Microscopes weren’t yet powerful enough to observe below the cellular level of life; and thus, the concept of a single cell was like that of a mud hut—very simple.

Today we are learning more and more about what it takes for life to form. Beyond the statistical improbabilities of evolution, we’ve learned that the single cell is not at all like a mud hut; but rather, more complex than a galaxy. In fact, for a dinosaur to evolve a single wing, all five systems in a cell would have to change identically at the same time—something that Darwin could never have imagined.

So, the complexities of the single cell quickly lead us beyond Darwin, or so that’s where research scientist Dr. Richard Sternberg thinks the evidence leads. Yet, when he gave credit to intelligent design in a Smithsonian science journal, he found himself the object of a massive campaign to smear his reputation. But Sternberg’s not the only one: multitudes of scientists who begin questioning Darwin’s theory of evolution are quickly “shut-up” by their employers, the media, the educational system, and even the courts.

Ben Stein, former Presidential speech writer, public speaker, and game show host sought to uncover why scientists are losing their jobs, can’t get tenure, or are denied publication in scientific journals when Darwinism is questioned. He quickly found that evolutionists would rather believe we are “nothing more than mud animated by lightning” than to believe humankind carries “the spark of the divine.” Disturbed by his findings, Stein is going on record with a major theater release, interviewing numbers of scientists who were openly ridiculed and ostracized for even suggesting intelligent design. The film, fittingly titled Expelled, is scheduled for a wide theater release in April.Creation Science Evangelism was recently given the opportunity to prescreen the film and believes it is a “must see.” Viewers will be stunned by the admissions of evolutionists whose strategies are focused solely on injecting Darwinian doctrine into everyday life. We’ve created a resource center at http://www.drdino.com/expelled?utm_source=031308_EXPELLED_PROMO&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jsirianni7@gmail.com where you can find more information about the upcoming film, view trailers, download leaders’ guides, and win free tickets to see Expelled in your area.

Please do all you can to support this film and blow the whistle on the suppression of intelligent design and academic freedom.

My Trip to Texas - Ancient Treasures Museum

During my recent trip to Texas I had the wonderful pleasure of "stumbling" upon a great exhibit at a local mall (Willow Bend) less than one mile from my hotel in Plano. I truly believe it blessed the Lord to lead me by the store front where I walked in and spoke to Cary Summers, the museum's curator. It was a pleasure talking with him. At first I thought it was a store selling huge bronze statues of people. After talking with him shortly, he mentioned that the statues were actually Russian Israeli artist. I then could see a few of the museum's artifacts from where I was standing. He started to mention Israels history and a little of what the museum was all about. I began to get excited when he spoke of the land and people who God esteemed so much. I then said to him "It's one of the biggest misconceptions today, that people have this idea that the bible is just a bunch of stories rather than seeing what it really is which is literal condensed history, and that no archaeological find has ever disproved scripture, in fact it has heavily validated and continues to confirm scripture" His face lit up as he said "that's exactly what this exhibit is all about" and as he continued to share about the museum, I could hardly wait to buy a ticket and check it out. The very next day after work I bought my discounted ticket and headed on in. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. It's a 9,000 square foot layout (in the mall) of rare antiques and theme sets from scripture throughout the entire exhibit. The exhibit features artifacts from the Hebrew University School of Archaeology of Jerusalem. Highlights listed on the brochure include:

• The inscription stone from "UR", the city of Abraham
• The Egyptian collection dating to 3,250 BC
• Weapons from the time of Joshua
• Ivory from Queen Jezebel's palace
• Artifacts from the City of David
• The inscription brick of Nebuchadnezzar
• The coin collection from the Hasmonean period
• The 10th Roman Legion brick
• Ossuaries of the first century
• The Masada excavation collection

The tour is a self guided tour and thank goodness, because I took a lot of pictures (See below) In addition as you are taking the tour I received a pamphlet with numbered paragraphs in it. Each number preceding the paragraph coincided with a number at various exhibits. So where there was a number on a scene say of Moses crossing the parted Red Sea, one only had to look up the number in the pamphlet and it gave a detailed description of the scene along with the chapter and verse of where it is in the bible. It explained various artifacts and people in scripture as well, such as Flavius Josephus, who we know was a 1st-century Jewish historian who corroborated many things in the bible (Picture below sitting at a table writing with hand on head) I found the pamphlet very useful as I came across some artifacts that I knew nothing about. One such artifact would have been a sword used in Joshua's day (see picture below) along with an axe. If you looked up #16 you could read:

16 - From Joshua 11:12 - "Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings and put them to the sword. He totally destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded." Similar to the local pottery, the weapons used at this time basically did not change much over many years either - until the discovery of gunpowder. They included superior bronze weapons, such as curved swords and ceremonial axe-heads - like this one in the shape of an open hand with outstretched fingers.

And after the tour was over I got to sit and watch a seven minute 3-dimensional film shot from Israel. It was incredible. I loved every minute of it.

But that's not all! The best part was after exiting the museum I was able to go across the hall to the Ancient Treasures gift shop where I got a whopping 40% off everything! There were all kinds of books, videos and hand made items imported from Israel. I wound up buying a new bible for my collection. I purchased the Archaeological Study Bible - so far this bible has been a real blessing to me. I'm getting a literal "Illustrated walk through biblical history and culture" as the bible cover so accurately states. This thing is huge and full of beautiful colored photographs of various things such as lands, homes, artifacts from biblical times, clothing and great iconic structures of that time such as Alexandria and Athens. This bible will definitely prove to be a useful study tool to me. It also comes with a software CD containing NIV text and all photographs, maps, and charts included in the Bible. I first heard of it when my brother in law purchased it. Ever since then I have been interested in getting my hands it. It was as though the father said "son, I have a gift for you" Thank you Father. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in it.

I also wanted to take the time to thank Alicia who headed up the Ancient Treasures gift shop. From the moment I started talking to her our conversation was blessed by the Lord. She truly refreshed my spirit that day. She was a wonderful spiritual mother in the faith to me and I felt as though I knew her for years. She truly had a passion for the Lord and the spirit of God was clearly guiding her words of faith and instruction as she spoke and shared much with me. Had we have had another five minutes I'm positive she would have prophesied over me right there in the store :) Thank you Alicia for the wonderful conversation, the refreshing of my spirit, and the 40% off! I pray that God would bless both Cary and Alicia as they continue to follow His will. Thank you guys for a great time while I was in Plano. I learned a great deal and hope one day you come close enough to us in PA so my family & friends can attend and be blessed by the museum as well.

Great Reviews For "Expelled"

There have been some pre-screenings of the movie for a number of organizations and all are saying the same thing "this is a must see!". The movie is getting some great reviews and is one of the most anticipated films coming out in the near future (April 18th). I can't wait to check it out myself. I'm highly looking forward to it. Here's an article/review on AiG's website. Dr. Ken Ham (President and founder of Answers In Genesis) met up with Ben Stein. Check it out. Let me know what you think.
