Belgian minister sparks US genocide
row: "Belgian Defence Minister Andre Flahaut has come under heavy
criticism for approving an official document that says the United States
is responsible for the biggest genocide committed during the past 500 years.
... According to the report, the worst genocide committed in the past 500
years has been the extermination of native Americans in what is today the
US. The study said this mass killing began in 1492, when Christopher Columbus
first landed in America, and that the genocide has claimed 15 million lives....
Number two on the list of the world's greatest genocides was the extermination
of native peoples in south America....
"Before Flahaut's latest diplomatic gaffe, relations between Belgium
and the US appeared to be improving after two decidedly frosty years."
Perhaps Flahout has been reading American social Studies textbooks such
as America Will Be. It tells children that when five
Indian nations formed a single Iroquois nation, their joint rulers "brought
an end to the wars and other fights." The text leaves the impression that,
from the 1400s, the Iroquois lived peaceful lives "based on sharing and
cooperation." But in Indians of the United States, respected historian,
Clark Wissler, who shows deep appreciation for Indians, documents another
side: The Iroquois "hated the Huron intensely, like brother against brother.
After taking the first town, they massacred its entire population... It
is believed that more than 10,000 Huron were killed." While gross injustices
were committed against the Indians, history also shows entire tribes wiped
out by intertribal rivalry.

But for the most horrendous slaughter of human beings, we should look back
to civilized Europe. Hitler killed over five million Jews with little opposition
from the German public, and Stalin's purges and forced famines (to enforce

grew with a sudden jolt, probably one to
four feet, sending a magnitude 6.5 reminder that California's central
coast is a young and restless region."

Catastrophic Plate Tectonics:
The Physics Behind the Genesis Flood: "From the mid-1700’s through
the days of Hutton, Lyell, and Darwin to the 1960’s, it overwhelmed the
human mind to imagine a mechanism that could
possibly deliver, in a single brief event, the magnitude and complexity
of geological change evident in the continental rock record
above the point where fossils first appear.
"....one of the chief mental barriers to acceptance of the idea of
a single cataclysm is the belief that
radioisotope dating has proved beyond reasonable doubt that the Phanerozoic
record spans many hundreds of millions of years. There is a startling inconsistency,
however, between radiocarbon and long half-life radioisotope methods....
This is true of essentially all samples tested since the early 1980’s in
dozens of AMS laboratories around the world as documented in the peer-reviewed
radiocarbon literature....
"Another indication that the uniformitarian time scale is faulty is
the timing of the uplift of today’s continental
mountain ranges. Ollier and Pain [24], have reviewed the considerable
documentation in the geomorphology literature for a recent (Plio-Pleistocene)
near-synchronous uplift of all the continental
mountain belts."
'We can implant entirely false
memories': We can easily distort memories for the details of
an event that you did experience,' says Loftus. 'And we can also go so far
as to plant entirely false memories - we call them rich false memories because
they are so detailed and so big.'... Several new lines of evidence suggest
that the interaction between memory and emotion is more complex than was
thought. Powerful emotions, it seems, can both reinforce and weaken real
memories.... And false memories, once accepted, can themselves elicit strong
emotions and thereby mimic real ones."
The Power of Suggestion
Dr. John Baumgardner's work
related to the Genesis flood:
(This scientist is respected
by the secular scientific establishment as well as by creationists)
"...evolutionists generally
feel secure today, even in the face of compelling creationist arguments,
because of their utter confidence in the geological time scale. Even if
they cannot provide a naturalistic mechanism for macroevolution, they appeal
to the 'fact of evolution,' by which they mean an interpretation of earth
history in which they believe there has been a succession of different types
of plants and animals in a drama spanning many hundreds of millions of years."

'Prehistoric man began global
warming': "Measurements of ancient
air bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice offers evidence that humans have been
changing the global climate since thousands of years before the industrial
revolution. From 8000 years ago, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide began
to rise as humans started clearing forests, planting crops and raising livestock,
a scientist said on Tuesday. Methane levels started increasing 3000 years
later." Man's
contribution to the cycles of climatic change is miniscule compared to that
of major volcanic eruptions.

Monkeys Control Robotic Arm
With Brain Implants:
"Scientists in North Carolina have built a brain implant that lets monkeys
control a robotic arm with their thoughts, marking the first time that mental
intentions have been harnessed to move a mechanical object. The technology
could someday allow people with paralyzing spinal cord injuries to operate
machines or tools with their thoughts as naturally as others today do with
their hands. It might even allow some paralyzed people to move their own
arms or legs again, by transmitting the brain's directions not to a machine
but directly to the muscles in those latent limbs."

Let's take a long, cool look
at the dangers of global warming: "This time last year, the rains
were so heavy in central Europe, northern Italy and southern France that
not merely crops, but whole buildings, indeed whole streets, were washed
away. The Danube and Po rivers overflowed and flooded many of the cities
on their banks.... This year, those same regions are experiencing drought.
The Po is now so low that in some regions it is possible to walk across
it....
"Unsurprisingly,
newspapers and television are packed with stories of climatic doom and disaster.
The media's message is simple: the climate is changing, for the worse, and
it is all our fault.... The statistics show that global warming has not,
in fact, increased the number of exceptionally hot periods....
"In the Kyoto Protocol, industrialised countries have agreed to cut
carbon dioxide emissions by 30 per cent by 2010. This will be very expensive

resorting to misrepresentation in the name

blow for the truth he inadvertently unmasks the dirty little secret of the
evolutionist establishment: it’s not about science....
"Researchers
have demonstrated the existence of microscopic molecular structures, biological
engineering marvels and 'machines' of incredible complexity built to DNA’s
'programming language' or assembly instructions.... These designs are clearly
too complex to have been arrived at by random chance (dumb luck), nor could
their existence have slowly emerged over the eons as survival mechanisms
(natural selection) as Darwin proposed."

"Our universe could easily be the outcome of an experiment carried out by

"Why suggest such an
outlandish thing? Because it sheds light on a deep puzzle: why the laws
of physics appear 'fine tuned' for our existence. Even slight deviations
in the laws would result in a universe devoid of stars and life. If, for
instance, the force of gravity were just a few per cent weaker it could
not squeeze and heat the matter inside stars to the millions of degrees
necessary to trigger sunlight-generating nuclear reactions. If gravity were
only a few per cent stronger, however, it would heat up stars, causing them
to consume their fuel faster. They would not exist for the billions of years
needed for evolution to produce intelligence."

a study into parenting has found. The biggest investigation into same-sex
parenting to be published in Europe claims children brought up by gay couples
are more likely to experiment with homosexual behaviour and be confused
about their sexuality. The best way to bring up a child is within a traditional
marriage, the study by sociologist Patricia Morgan concludes."

Cell discovery could transform:
"The discovery of a stem cell in adults that reportedly has remarkable powers
could prove a watershed in the contentious debates over cloning and human
embryo research.... A confirmation of the discovery would mean cells
from a person's body 'could one day be turned into all sorts of perfectly
matched replacement tissues and even organs,' New Scientist reported.
A validation of the finding also would seriously undercut the campaign by
some researchers, patients rights groups and politicians for human embryonic
stem cell experimentation as well as human cloning for research purposes."
"Same-sex
parent findings based of faulty studies:
"Baby doctors of the world, unite! The American Academy of Pediatrics has
just declared that same-sex parents are good for babies....A review of the
literature by Robert Lerner and Althea K. Nagai in the just-published scholarly
volume 'Revitalizing the Institution of Marriage for the Twenty-First Century'
seriously questions the legitimacy of the research."

skewed for political reasons. See next item and the first entry on this

Dolly the cloned sheep has arthritis:
"Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal, has arthritis, one of her creators
said today, heightening fears that cloning causes genetic defects that would
make animal clones unsafe for use in human medicine. Professor Ian Wilmut,
of the Edinburgh-based Roslin Institute, who led the team that cloned the
sheep, said defects were possible and that cloning methods were still 'inefficient'.
Calling for more research, he said: "The fact that Dolly has arthritis at
this comparatively young age suggests that there may be problems. We do
not know and it's very important that we look".

Fertility authority gives go-ahead
for 'designer babies': "The Human Fertilisation and Embryology
Authority yesterday cleared the way for the creation of 'designer babies',
children selected while embryos to provide healthy cells to save the life
of a seriously ill brother or sister. The selection of only healthy embryos
that match the tissue type of a sibling is controversial and opposed by
those who
believe that it will pave the way for the creation of babies to provide
'spare parts.'"

Cloning sparks global outrage:
"Religious and political leaders worldwide, from President George W. Bush
to the Vatican, have condemned news that a U.S. company has cloned a human
embryo for the first time. The announcement by Advanced Cell Technology
(ACT) of Worcester, Mass. on Sunday, raised a multitude of questions over
cloning, with Bush calling it "morally wrong" and others saying the company
had crossed a moral and ethical line. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer
urged the U.S. Congress to ban human cloning, saying the president viewed
this as a wise action to take. The House of Representatives has already
passed legislation banning the kind of procedure used by ACT but the Senate
has not yet acted on the law....
"But Judson Somerville, a paralyzed Texan who
donated a chunk of his skin for the American company's research said he
believed the research could help millions like himself. 'People have the
right to have a concern. There is lots of risk in life and sometimes in
order to advance science and to make this a better world you have to take
some risks. This is a huge opportunity to do the right thing' he said."
God created us with amazing abilities, but told us to exercise our talents
within His bounds and wisdom. Apart from Him, capricious human minds and
the world's spiritual forces can quickly twist that which has the greatest
potential for good into the greatest power for evil."

Children at higher risk of mobile phone radiation:
Young children absorb up to 50% more radiation in their brains than adults
when they use mobile phones, research has revealed. The results will reinforce
calls for parents to limit the use of the phones by schoolchildren."
Smallpox vaccine uses fetal cell line:
"Meanwhile, health officials with the Food and Drug Administration say the
method of manufacturing the old vaccine, called Dryvax, which was made by
Wyeth using calf skin, is "no longer considered optimal." Instead, the agency
says the new smallpox vaccine 'will be prepared in MRC-5 cells' – a line
of aborted fetal cells dating back to 1966 – because that method is more
efficient." The old method worked well. The new
method will provide the Department of Health and Human Services a coveted
justification for abortion.

Chemtrails:
"... before we were briefed on it we were made to sign non-disclosure agreements,
which basically state that if we tell anyone what we know we could be imprisoned....
When we asked them why didn't they just
rig military aircraft to spray these chemicals, they stated that there weren't
enough military aircraft available to release chemicals on such a large
basis as needs to be done. That's why Project Cloverleaf was initiated,
to allow commercial airlines to assist in releasing these chemicals into
the atmosphere."
"... someone asked why all the secrecy
was needed. The government reps then stated that if the general public knew
that the aircraft they were flying on were releasing chemicals into the
air, environmentalist groups would raise hell and demand the spraying stop.
Someone asked one of the G-men then if
the chemicals are harmless, why not tell the public what the chemicals are
and why we are spraying them? He seemed perturbed at this question and told
us in a tone of authority that the public doesn't need to know what's going
on, but that this program is in their best interests. He also stated that
we should not tell anyone, nor ask any more questions about it. With that,
the briefing was over."

The Great Stem Cell Hoax:
In one study cited, the authors "initially had a sentence at the end of
the paper stating the obvious conclusion that this research might put in
question the clinical applicability of stem cell research. But that cannot
be said publicly. In a highly unusual move, the authors withdrew the phrase
that the genetic instability of stem cells 'might limit their use in clinical
applications' just a few days before publication. They instead emphasized
that this mouse study ought not hold back stem cell research. This change
in text represents a corruption of science that mirrors the corruption of
language in the congressional debate."
Rival Camps Prepare For Fight Over Embryonic Stem
Cell Research Funding: "The proposal to allow federal funding
for experimentation on stem cells obtained through the destruction of living
human embryos is a mistake," said Rep. Christopher Smith. "Allowing the
use of stem cells obtained from human embryos to receive federal funding"
no matter how limited in definition "opens a new door that may prove difficult
to close."

Stem cells from skin grow into brain tissue: "For the first time,
researchers have captured from the skin of adult mice and humans stem cells
capable of growing into brain cells and a range of other tissues. The feat
offers new hope for treating neurological disorders, and comfort to President
Bush, who last week set strict limits on publicly funded U.S. research using
stem cells derived from human embryos...."

Stem Cell Research - It's not about saving lives:
"Liberals do seem to have an innate ability to make the simplest of life's
issues amazingly complex. That's the built-in hazard of rejecting absolutes.
It is their stubborn and cowardly way of avoiding the consequences of rebelling
against divine authority and easily explains why their lives are generally
short-lived, chaotic and demanding of everyone else's tolerance. Managing
an ever-increasing tally of lies and "snafus" is vastly more challenging
than simply telling the truth and obeying the law. Having to adjust and
readjust one's own ethics and morality to suit each situation and craving
that comes along can make a liberal's life one big miserable maze of complexity,
contradiction and confusion.
"Do we honestly think that federally financing embryonic salvage yards won't
encourage profiteers and black marketers around the world to increase the
embryo producing activities of fornication, prostitution, cloning, slavery
and abortion to supply the new demand for product?

Mixed Pro-Life Response to Bush Stem Cell Decision:
"Pandora's box is now open," said Population Research Institute President
Steven Mosher. "Federal money will create a market for the development of
more stem cell lines, overseas if not here at home," said Mosher. "To pursue
scientific advance without concern for the dignity of the human person will
dehumanize us all."
Cloned in the USA:
"It was a perfect place to hide their scheme: an old classroom in a squalid
former high school tucked away in the hills of rural West Virginia.... On
the second floor is a day-care centre and plumbing and roofing companies.
But down a dark corridor lined with trash and broken students' lockers is
Room 201. ...It looks like an ordinary lab.
But in this room, scientists working for a UFO cult and a local politician
were secretly trying to clone a human being."
Adult Stem Cells More Effective Than Those From Aborted
Babies: "New research has raised further hope that adult stem
cells can be used to repair the damage caused by strokes to brain cells,
British scientists heard Monday.... The research has provided further weight
to arguments that adult stem cells may hold sufficient potential to make
it unnecessary to use embryonic cells - or to use therapeutic research as
justification to allow embryonic cloning."

Stem Cell Research -- Divisive Issue Continues to
Divide Pro-Lifers:
"But Judie Brown of the American Life League... says
the President drew the "moral line" in the wrong place by basically
saying that if "someone else in the private sector has already killed these
human beings, then we -- the taxpayers -- can morally harvest their body
parts for experimentation and research and not cross a moral line in doing
so."
Comment by Paul Proctor:
"It's really about embryos...not stem cell research. If we allow their
*use* FOR ANY PURPOSE, dead or alive, a market for them will be instantly
created and the wholesale manufacturing of embryos for profit will begin.
The end result would be the public and private capitalization of human sacrifice...for
a 'good cause'.

The Church of Darwin: "A Chinese paleontologist
lectures around the world saying that recent fossil finds in his country
are inconsistent with the Darwinian theory of evolution. His reason: The
major animal groups appear abruptly in the rocks over a relatively short
time, rather than evolving gradually from a common ancestor as Darwin's
theory predicts. When this conclusion upsets American scientists, he wryly
comments: 'In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America
you can criticize the government but not Darwin.'
"...The root of the problem is that 'science' has two distinct definitions
in our culture. On the one hand, science refers to a method of investigation
involving things like careful measurements, repeatable experiments, and
especially a skeptical, open-minded attitude that insists that all claims
be carefully tested. Science also has become identified with a philosophy
known as materialism or scientific naturalism. This philosophy insists that
nature is all there is, or at least the only thing about which we can have
any knowledge. It follows that nature had to do its own creating, and that
the means of creation must not have included any role for God. Students
are not supposed to approach this philosophy with open-minded skepticism,
but to believe it on faith."

Born Gay? Not So Fast Say Homosexual Researchers!
"The report quotes noted 'gay' scientists as well
as "gay" philosophers who openly admit there is no research proving there
is a 'gay gene' or 'gay brain.' From the faulty premise that homosexuals
are born that way, flow a number of other equally flawed assumptions. Two
of these are: That society must encourage and protect individuals who think
they were 'born gay'; and that those who oppose homosexual behavior are
mentally unstable (homophobic) and are trying to force homosexuals to deny
their genetic destinies....
"Camille
Paglia, a lesbian activist has had the courage to boldly state what most
homosexuals refuse to admit: 'Homosexuality is not normal. On the contrary,
it is a challenge to the norm.'
"Whether homosexual behavior is normal and genetic is a significant issue
under debate in American culture today. Congress is stampeding to pass 'hate
crime' and 'non-discrimination' laws providing special rights for homosexuals;
school textbook writers are producing pro-homosexual materials for elementary
school children; Hollywood is openly promoting homosexuality and cross-dressing;
and liberal church leaders are blessing homosexual 'unions'—all under the
false premise that homosexuality is a positive, normal, and genetically-based
lifestyle."

Virginia Lab Creates Human Embryos: The
debate over the ethics of stem-cell research intensified Wednesday with
word that Virginia scientists have created human embryos in the lab solely
for the valuable cells....'The timing of this has been somewhere between
disastrous and horrific,' said Arthur Caplan, a medical ethicist at the
University of Pennsylvania. The development 'throws everything in an uproar'
and gives ammunition to those who argue that researchers are headed down
a slippery slope.'"
Prov 3:5-7
Evolution fraud in current biology textbooks:
"Most people have seen those
drawings of developing human embryos next to developing
animal embryos, and they look virtually indistinguishable. (The Haeckel embryo sequence shown purported to show – left to right – a
hog, calf, rabbit and human). This has long been said to demonstrate
that humans share a common ancestry with these animals and thus prove the
theory of evolution. ...In a 1997 interview in The Times of London,
Dr. Richardson stated: 'This is one of the worst cases of scientific fraud.
It’s shocking to find that somebody one thought was a great scientist was
deliberately misleading.... Today
– believe it or not – Haeckel’s drawings still appear in many high
school and college textbooks."

'Huge' genetic defects
discovered in mice cloned from stem cells:
"Cloned mice have profound genetic abnormalities not apparent at birth,
researchers report today, a finding that bolsters the belief among many
scientists that current cloning techniques are too risky to be used on humans."

the stem cells requires the destruction of embryos."

Check the facts: "The thesis of the Donahue-Levitt
study is that 'a difficult home environment leads to an increased risk of
criminal activity. Increased abortion reduced unwantedness and therefore
lowered criminal activity.' Yet many of the most creative people of the
20th century and, indeed, of all time came from such 'difficult home environments.'"
David, whom God called "a a man after My
own heart," came from a "difficult home environment." Some believe he was
conceived outside marriage, and when the prophet Samuel was sent to his
home to anoint God's choice for a king, all the sons were considered potential
candidates -- except David. The young boy spent his days alone and ignored,
guarding the family sheep. But in His fear and loneliness, He learned to
love and trust God.
