Comment on Superstitious about signs? by jason weber

When doing my own reserch that day of “9th of Av” i stumbled upon somthing very interesting, though it does not have much to do with isreal, but a hugh impact on the usa. It was passed in the House of Reps, known as “H.R.2749 The Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009″. It deals directly with the one and only Food and Drug Admn. This bill proposes greater FDA regulatory powers over the national food supply and food providers, namely granting it the authority to regulate how crops are raised and harvested, to quarantine a geographic area (city/town), to make warrantless searches of business records, and to establish a national food tracing system (RFID). Looking back we know that the FDA had to basicly ask before it did things… not no more, when diging deeper into the bill you find out that they no longer have to ask before they act, they could stop the flow of food with the snap of a finger in the name of “contamination” or “outbreak”. To “watchers” this is just one more piece of the “stage” that is being set…

I just recently blogged this very thing! Nice to see like minded people If I may, where did you find that picture? I’d like to find one similar for my blog as well.

Comment on Quote of the Week by Evil Spotter

I wish his dad felt the same way: "Well, Christianity and being a true believer--you know, I think there's the Body of Christ. This comes from all the Christian groups around the world, outside the Christian groups. I think everybody that loves Christ, or knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the Body of Christ. And I don't think that we're going to see a great sweeping revival that will turn the whole world to Christ at any time. I think James answered that, the Apostle James in the first council in Jerusalem, when he said God's purpose for this age is to call out a people for His name. And that's what God is doing today, He's calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ because they've been called by GOD. They may not even know the name of Jesus but they know in their hearts they need something that they don't have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think they are saved, and that they're going to be with us in heaven." -Billy Graham

The best I have found is http://www.cellularchallenge.net . They clear your personal data (pictures, numbers, text messages) and you can print postage directly from their site and just drop it in the mail It’s easy and they accept our older phones as well and give them to a good cause and keep the material out of the landfill.

Comment on Darwin’s Fairy Tales by R. Hoeppner

Thanks for your response Mr. Darrell.

Piltdown Man was in textbooks. http://www.pathlights.com/ce_encyclopedia/Encyclopedia/13anc08.htm
Scientists promoted Piltdown man as an intermediate link. !n 1925 the ACLU canvassed for a teacher to challenge the legality of the state of Tennessee’s ban on the teaching of evolution and even used Piltdown man as evidence at the Scopes trial. Interestingly it was a lawyer, (now it makes sense) Samuel Woodhead, who is believed to have been complicit with Charles Dawson in creating the fossil in the first place.
While Piltdown was found to be a fraud, it remained in textbooks and encyclopedia’s for years afterward. Scientists discovered the hoax – primarily because it “interfered” with other fossil discoveries. One could speculate that if Piltdown had been crafted better to agree with other fossils to be found later, scientists might still regard him as an early stage of man. http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Eoanthropus+dawsoni

Piltdown Man? You’d have done well to stick with the scientists on that one, too — they were skeptical to begin with, didn’t incorporate it into the texts because it didn’t fit any theory, and ultimately the scientists uncovered the fraud.

In this case, there were groups who objected to the reservation of land for the Tasaday, groups that did their best to get the reservation cancelled in order to get at the forests in the reservation, to cut them down for lumber.

So, the hoax appears to be a hoax. Among other things, recent research, and research done all along, indicates clearly that the Tasaday are linguistically different. Unless one thinks one could invent a language that experts could not detect as artificial for 40 years, and then teach it to 100 people who could accurately follow the language rules for 40 years without once slipping up, there’s the solid evidence that the original story was accurate.

That is all covered on the one site I noted to you. If you did the Google search you should have found a dozen other sites, at least. If you did a search in the journals, you’d find articles as recent as 2007 noting the Tasaday as a lost tribe, found.

So, just as with Piltdown, you’d have done well to stick with the scientists. But in the Tasaday case, the hoax was done by those who wanted to get the forests cut down, and who perpetrated the hoax that the Tasaday were not Tasaday.

Did you know that:
1. In 1986 ABC-TV presented a story on the hoax entitled “The Tribe That Never Was,” and
2. “Scandal: The Lost Tribe,” was shown on NBC-TV in 1987, both revealing how the scientific community had been duped.
So that begs the question; why do some hold to a proven hoax as a scientific discovery? Echoes of Piltdown Man?

Thanks for your comments Ed Darrell. I’ve got no problems with scientists at all. Science itself is in many ways a gift of Christianity. What I’m focusing in on here is the scientist who has a vested interest in specific ‘evidence’ that he or she extracts in order to further those vested interests. The sad tale of the Tasaday is but one of those so called finds that some ’scientists’ tenaciously cling to either because of the embarrassment they would suffer to abandon their claims or the grant money they would loose if they faced up to the facts of the case. Just because a person is a well known scientist doesn’t mean that they are immune to the draws of fame and fortune. It’s for that reason I wonder what your interest was in promoting certain science textbooks that are being used beginning in Texas schools.

Comment on Evolution and Racism by R. Hoeppner

Charles Darwin himself thought Sir Richard Owen acted as he did through professional jealousy eventhough Darwin regarded Owen as a superior man of science.
There is an article I think you might be interested in, or perhaps not. Dr. B. Wiker (Ph.D.) first wrote “Darwin and Hitler: In Their Own Words”
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=26346 and a follow-up article; “Darwin Nietzsche, and Hitler: Evolution of the Ubermensch” http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=26468.
