I remember Pat Robinson being on TV 25 years ago talking about how we (Christains) needed to live on farms because the tribulation that was comming soon. Never happened. I read David Wilkersons book "The Vision" 25 years ago, what he predicted never happened. I read "Late Great Planet Earth" 25 years ago, and we are still here. If you look at history, and history of the Church as a whole; every generation has always said time is short; why? For a religion to survive and endure; the end of the world scenario serves that purpose, to motivate and scare people to gain converts, thus create an lasting religion.

I remember sitting in Church ( I was 18) and all the old people saying that they could hardly waite for Jesus to come back. I can remember thinking to myself,"Self, I do not want Jesus to come back because I have my whole life ahead of me, and I want to live it."

MM, how old is

1. Sun?
2. Milky Way?
3. the Universe?
4. the solar system?

I guess God created our DNA with a + or - 10% deviation, that explains everything.

Government is the Problem

Science News

I just read an article about how we are going to run out of oil, and the world is going to end by manufactoring oil from the Athabasca Tar Sands written by some science editor; science editor is all it said. So I "googled" him; he is a zoologist!!!; a real oil expert, climate expert and math genius; EXCUSE ME!!! that is just like the chemist tying to shutdown the LHC, a real physics expert. Go figure.

Where is the OUTRAGE

This month has been the worst month in Afganistan for Soldiers dying fighting the Taliban. When Bush was in office the "Drive by Media" as their lead story was the people, soldiers dying, and how bad things were on the nightly news, and Dingy Harry and other Democrats where on the news stating how bad things were and that we could not win. What was the big news tonight on the last day of the month; "Cash for Clunkers," forget the soldiers.

Now Obama has sent and additional 20,000 more troops including my son, where is Code Pink????? where are all the war activists??? If you are againest war, you are againest war, no matter who or what political party is in power, but I see no protest in the media or anywhere!!!! Plus, now Obama said that it is not his intention to win?????? Then screw that, bring my son home. If we are not fighting to win, then why are we fighting and dying?

Do not watch this MM, you will be offended.

Adam and Eve

If the Earth is only 6000 years old, and the beginning of the human race is created by God thru 2 people ( male and female), should not all the people on the earth be the same color of skin?

Let's see, in the last few months in the news; a few churches have burnt down, a person went into a church and killed a number of people ( I guess God wanted them killed so He could take them to Utopia, as a result, the people had to leave their families behind), and a few churches have been robbed. Sooo, God just let's this stuff happen?? For what reason?

AutoTuner 1

TD Jakes lives in a 17 room mansion, drive a Rolls Royce, and a few other expensive cars -- he is a Christian. You are a Christian living the God life so you declare. Why are you not blessed like TD Jakes? I guess you pay your tithe? I guess he pays his? Why are you not in a 17 room mansion? Can you buy whatever you want or desire? Jakes can, God has blessed him so he can, why has God not blessed you in the same way? Why are you not a millionaire like TD Jakes. What is the difference between you and TD that God has not blessed you financially like him?

Tea Party

Islam

If the Islamic community is sooooo offended by what the French declaire as offensive servitude (the wearing of the burka) in their own country (France) then Muslims should leave and immigrate to an Islamic country. Muslim community or any religious organization has no right to impose or force its religious values on people who do not share the same outlook on life.

Ice Road Truckers

I have been watching a show on the History Channel, "Ice Road Truckers." The show is about tuckers that drive 10 to 50 tonnes loads across the frozen Arctic ice shield and the dangers associated with that job. When I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK (I was with 47th Engineer Company) we did ice bridging for the military exercises that were held in Alaska. To create an ice bridge a suitable location had to be found, and then holes were cut into the ice, in these holes water pumps were inserted so that water could be blown on the ice thus building up the thickness of the ice. To cross an D7 Cat the ice had to ( I do not remember exactly) 22 or 28 inches thick where the Ice Road Truckers are crossing on 54 or more inches of ice with their loads. What I found interesting was that when the 18 wheelers were crossing the ice with the heavy loads a pressure wave is created under the ice and if two waves meet from opposite directions the result is broken ice and trucks in the water, freezing water, so when heavy loads are travelling from opposite directions one side has to pull over and stop and let the other trucks pass.

DNA

I am reading a book called,"The Third Chimpanzee" by Jared Diamond, I have read two other books by him called "Collapse," (why civivlizations deteriorate and then collapse) and "Germs, Guns and Steel," (why history of the conquest of the New World was by the Europeans and not the other way around, and other stuff relating why the world is the way it is). They were both great insightful books that frankly answered some questions that I had always thought about relating to the history of the world. In this third book that I am reading I came across an interesting statistic; the DNA difference between homo sapiens and chimpanzee's is 2% or another way stating this DNA fact is that humans and chimps share 98% of the same DNA. This difference is easy explained by evolution and shows a logical tree structure in the evolutionary chain on events.

According to the Bible, animals came before man, man was created on the last day, and it was "good." This means that we are 98% chimpanzee, 2% human in our DNA makeup since the "chimp" came before "man," that was created by God. It says in the Bible that Man was created from the dust of the ground, how does dust of the ground contain chimpanzee DNA? If man was created seperately, apart from the animals, should not human DNA be totaly different, seperate from the animal kingdom? Not sharing any genes? The more I study science, the more I see how religion fails in explaining the universe and it's workings.

MM -- Why does God let defective babies be born? Why does God let DNA and genes be mutated thus creating defective human beings. God created some reptiles so that when they have a appendage or tail cut off it grows back, why did God not make humans that way? Reptiles are more important? God has the technology why not incorporate that ability into the human body? God created us this way so we could suffer and learn stuff; at least that is the anwser I always heard in church. That's a cop out. Maybe you like suffering so God can speak to you, not me, He can do email.

Reading Books to My Boys

When my boys were small, we ( me and Lily) would read books to them. I always enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books, but there was this other favorite book that I like to read them and now is a movie: Where the Wild Things Are, I loved this book and still do. I am going to see this movie.

Soon we will be the Union of Socialist Republics; everybody the same -- robots. The Democratic (the Left) Dictatorship in action.
