** It's For the Children!

In 1977, the late Jesse Jackson (d. 2-17-26) wrote a powerful pro-life article for Right-to-Life News and stated,

 

If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. ... The first step was to distort the image of us [~Dred Scott] as human beings in order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking. life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder; they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified. ...

What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?

It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mindset  with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.

** Let's search about Biological Essentialism!

What is Biological Essentialism?  Cats are cats, bats are bats and apes and people do not have a common ancestor.  Horses, hydras and humans are examples of Essential Types of Life (ETL's).  Bio-essentialism is basically Aristotle's Biology and is consistent with the Genesis Kinds (Gen. 1:12).

** Let's go visit Watergate (2650 VA Ave NW, DC).

It has been claimed for many years the Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, was part of Operation Mockingbird, the CIA's plan to infiltrate Journalism.  One post I found was from 2010:

https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/16751-bob-woodward-and-operation-mockingbird/

 

Last year, Tucker Carlson was on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Tucker claimed that Woodward colluded with the CIA & FBI to bring Nixon down:

** On today's "WTF Moment" we discuss death threats.

That's "What the Frank?!" as in "Let's be Frank, Let's Talk Straight!" (see below).

Last Wednesday (2-18-26), Les Wexner, an Epstein associate, spoke before the  

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

After a response to a question, Wexner's attorney said, “I will [blanking] kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, OK.” https://thehill.com/homenews/5747615-billionaire-les-wexner-deposition/

I would recommend that Wexner get a new lawyer.

 

Wexner’s ties to Epstein stretch back to the late 1980's, when Epstein was hired as his wealth manager. Wexner gave Epstein power of attorney over all his finances!  He also sent Epstein a really creepy birthday card in 2003.  Wexner admitted to having brought a Victoria Secret model to Epstein’s house.

Kudos to Mississippi State Senator Angela Hill, who sponsored a bill that would make it illegal to enter the state from a foreign country.  "People are tired of crime.

** What's Ben Carson's take on the Corona Crisis?

In 2024, Dr. Carson came out with a book That Perilous Fight, published by Zondervan, and stated,

 

One of the truths revealed during those COVID-19 years and one I found especially shocking and disturbing is how eagerly certain members of our government want to curtail religious freedom in this nation, including the freedom to worship. Those efforts are not new [and] ... are increasing at a rapid pace.

(That Perilous Fight, Zondervan, 2024, p. 93)

I would like to conclude with the last few verses of Psalm 110.

It is the most quoted Psalm in the New Testament.

It portrays Christ as the Divine King, the Ultimate High Priest and Judge.

 

The Lord is at your right hand;

    he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead

    and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

He will drink from a brook along the way,

    and so he will lift his head high. (Ps. 110:5-7)

The True Truth About Politics, Preachers and the Young Earth Option

"True Truth" is a Schaefferism. He used the term "true truth" to describe absolute, objective reality and truth that exists independent of human opinion, grounded in the existence of an infinite-personal God who has revealed himself - the God who is there and is not silent.  It stands in contrast to relativism as in "true for you, but not for me."

Francis Schaeffer is known for popularizing the idea of a Christian Worldview: 

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jay-hall-m-s-b64526a_fas-francisabrschaeffer-labri-activity-7397333390989029376-HpUf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAHbbPwBBTN3-5NHy1Ow3Aqgq-KCW2E14ew

 

Let us consider these wise words from Charlie Kirk:

 

"If you've ever watched my radio show or seen me speak, you know that I have a problem with a lot of Christian pastors. In one word, they're cowards. ... America's story is a Christian story, one of resilience, redemption, and revival. With your help, America's next chapter won't be one of final collapse, but of its greatest-ever triumph."

(from the Forward, Killing America by Gene & Teri Bailey, pp. 17,19)

I got to hear John Stonestreet last month at OCU in Edmond. He's with the Colson Center and you may have heard his BreakPoint on the radio.  He spoke on some basic foundations for a Christian Worldview.  We had a short chat during one of the breaks.

One great evidence for an Intelligent Designer is the Total Eclipse of the Sun!

If you are not sure why a total solar eclipse is so significant, I would recommend the documentary "The Privileged Planet":

https://youtu.be/QmIc42oRjm8

 

Stonestreet and Os Guinness, who spent time with Francis Schaeffer, put out an A+ film "Truth Rising" recently that I highly recommend:

Now to the News ...

In El Paso, a flight ban was issued for ten days for air travel under 18K feet which began on FEB 10th.

An eyewitness described a  "mothership" releasing smaller objects from beneath.

There were also claims of disruptive drones from South of the Border.

Are UFO's invading the US?

When I think of UFO's, I think of Star Trek and Star Wars - which one is your fave?

Interestingly, there's a connection with El Paso, I've driven thru there a couple times but never visited.  Gene Roddenberry (d. 1991), of Star Trek fame, was born in El Paso and was a pilot in WWII.  Speaking of Aliens, I wrote a warning regarding the Pixar flop "ELIO."

>> Nippon News >>

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims.”

Japan has more than 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims.

95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration.

Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, former drummer in a heavy metal band,  may take decisive action.

A 2024 Gallup poll found that 37% of U.S. adults agreed with the statement, “God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.”

It has over 2800 views.   It is not a Statistically Correct poll, but the results are interesting.  30% hold that this planet is 8K years old or younger:

I would like to close with some words from the Gadsby Hymnal (#775):

My God, when I reflect

 How, all my life-time past,

 I ran the roads of sin and death

 With rash impetuous haste,

My foolishness I hate;

 My filthiness I loathe;

 And view, with sharp remorse and shame,

 My filth and folly both. ...

And dost thou still regard,

 And cast a gracious eye

 On one so foul, so base, so blind,

 So dead, so lost, as I?

Then sinners black as hell

 May hence for hope have ground;

 For who of mercy needs despair,

 Since I have mercy found?

Was Darwin worried?  From a letter to Charles Lyell:

 

I rejoice profoundly; for thinking of the many cases of men pursuing an illusion for years, often and often a cold shudder has run through me and I have asked myself whether I may not have devoted my life to a phantasy.  Now I look at it as morally impossible that investigators of truth like you and [Sir Joseph Dalton]  Hooker can be wholly wrong; and therefore I feel that I may rest in peace.

Catastrophism - It's What's For Dinner!

Suppose your son has a serious case of bone cancer.  Would you trust a Young Scientist to treat your child?  That is, would you trust Doogie Howser (14 yo)?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096569/

 

Would you listen to a Young Earth Scientist #YES who shares evidence for a youthful world?  I have written two books on that account:

 

Is a Young Earth Possible? - How Science and History Point to a Youthful World and Why it Matters ★★★★½

Catastrophism (most rocks formed fast) is a key pillar in the case for a #YoungPlanet ... Immanuel Velikovsky (Иммануи́л Велико́вский) brought #Catastrophism #CAT into larger public awareness with such works as Worlds in Collision (1950) and Earth in Upheaval (1955):

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Immanuel-Velikovsky

 

In 2015, Charles Ginenthal came out with Newton, Einstein, and Velikovsky which deals with the instability of the Solar System and challenges mainstream dating methods:

https://www.velikovsky.info/newton-einstein-and-velikovsky/

 

Einstein (d. 1955) and Velikovsky (d. 1979) corresponded with each other from 1946 to 1955: 

http://www.varchive.org/cor/einstein/index.htm

https://www.velikovsky.info/before-the-day-breaks/

What started the #OldEarth fad?  Rejecting #CAT ... we read this from the New International Encyclopedia (1915):

 

Geological work is so slow, and the evidence of vast changes in the past, so clear, that, so long as it was held that the age of the earth was to be reckoned in a period of a few thousand years, no other conclusion was possible than that the changes observed had been rapidly made as a result of stupendous  catastrophes. ... however, it was made clear by Hutton and his successors that the recorded facts indicates slow changes, it began to appear possible that the age of the earth was great [millions of years].  The promulgation of the doctrine of evolution, and the increased knowledge of past life, as recorded by the fossils, brought further evidence of the great age of the earth. [1]   

 

What can we say about prejudice against #CAT ?  According to Michael Rampino (Biology Prof, NYU),

 

In 1831, the Scottish horticulturalist Patrick Matthew (1790-1874) published a clear statement of the law of natural selection ... which both Darwin and Wallace later acknowledged. Matthew, however, was a catastrophist, and he presented natural selection within the contemporary view that relatively long intervals of environmental stability [and biological stasis ?] were episodically punctuated by catastrophic mass extinctions of life. https://nyuscholars.nyu.edu/en/publications/darwins-error-patrick-matthew-and-the-catastrophic-nature-of-the-

 

More on Patrick Matthew here:

https://dl0.creation.com/articles/p142/c14250/j29_2_119-123.pdf

 

Derek Victor Ager, former President of the British Geological Association, published The New Catastrophism - The Importance of the Rare Event in Geological History in 1995:

https://www.cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/sedimentology-and-stratigraphy/new-catastrophism-importance-rare-event-geological-history

 

Is a Global Flood, as described by the hundreds of #FloodLegends from around the world, really a thing?  Marilyn "super smart" vos Savant (see the graphic) said that if you flatten out the Earth, the oceans would cover the land to a depth of 8810' (1⅔ miles). [2]

One primary figure in the "No Young Earth" Movement was the late Ron Numbers (d. 2023).  I had the opportunity to hear his story in a small group @ OU's History of Science Department in the early 1990's.  Although raised Adventist, Dr. Numbers spurned Deluge Theory:

 

I vividly remember the evening I attended an illustrated lecture on the famous sequence of fossil forests in Yellowstone National Park and then stayed up most of the night … agonizing over, then accepting, the disturbing likelihood that the earth was at least thirty thousand years old. Having thus decided to follow science rather than Scripture on the subject of origins, I quickly, though not painlessly, slid down the proverbial slippery slope toward unbelief.

It is now widely recognized that the Yellowstone "fossil forests" - 27 layers @  Specimen Ridge & around 50 layers @ Specimen Creek - were formed catastrophically.  Dr Michael Arct studied the tree ring "fingerprints" of over a dozen trees in different levels and found that they all died around the same time which is consistent with rapid formation of the ash deposits.

Dr. Numbers should have changed his mind !!

The eruption of Mt. St. Helens (1980) #MSH is a clear parallel to Yellowstone:

In 1962, Henry Morris (Genesis Flood, 1961) spoke to the Houston Geological Society and gave a presentation on #Catastrophism #CAT

Dr. Morris spoke to a crowd of 500 folks and during the Q&A time there was dead silence!   According to one observer, the audience was "too stunned to speak!" [3] 

 

Interview with David Kitts - my History of Science Prof:

In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;

    in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.

So he ended their days in futility

    and their years in terror.

Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;

    they eagerly turned to him again.

They remembered that God was their Rock,

    that God Most High was their Redeemer. (Ps. 78:32-35)
