Frankenstein's Folly: "Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) are making headlines for introducing controversial legislation that would ban the American scientific community from developing embryos that contain both human and animal material. Dubbed the Human-Animal Hybrid Prohibition Act of 2009, the bill upholds the unique dignity of the human species and condemns human-animal hybrids as 'grossly unethical because they blur the line between human and animal, male and female...'  ...critics are dismissing the grave ethical and moral concerns at stake as paranoid hyperbole and characterizing opposition to human-animal hybrid experimentation as yet another attempt to sabotage scientific progress, and thus, the betterment of mankind."

WORLD'S LARGEST SCIENCE GROUP REJECTING MAN-MADE CLIMATE FEARS : An outpouring of skeptical scientists who are members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are revolting against the group's editor-in-chief -- with some demanding he be removed -- after an editorial appeared claiming “the science of anthropogenic climate change is becoming increasingly well established.” See ARTICLE

The Spiritualization of Science, Technology, and Education in a One-World Society: "Western Christianity has always provided a rational and moral basis for the development of science and technology, including clinical Nanomedicine. Yet this sensible basis has been strongly disputed for about half a century.... Aldous Huxley envisioned a future world society totally controlled by an elite group of scientists. His best known fictional work explicating this dire prospect bore the title Brave New World. Years later he would 'revisit' his prognostications only to conclude that he had underestimated the rate of change realizing his darkest fears. Turning to mysticism, both in its meditative and drug-induced varieties, he prepared the way for the burgeoning Human Potential Movement....

     "The electrical engineering professor at Stanford University Willis W. Harman, who had gotten involved in researching the cognitive and societal effects of LSD consumption, conducted seminars at Esalen on 'Human Potentialities'. ... As the president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences from 1977 to 1996, Harman advocated openly a mystical outlook on life claiming that a spiritual approach to scientific research and technological development would greatly enhance our understanding of the monistic unity of the universe....

     "Inspired in part by Aldous Huxley’s publications and his advocacy of psychedelic drugs, intellectuals such as Willis W. Harman have begun to emphasize irrational 'intuitive knowledge' (gained usually by meditative — mind-emptying — exercises...) as a more congenial basis for scientific and technological progress. Calling for a new metaphysic of science/technology, the proponents of the Human Potential Movement perceive the religious heritage of the West, based on Christian premises, as the greatest impediment of an evolving 'cosmic conscience'."

Designer Children -- A Baby, Please. Blond, Freckles -- Hold the Colic: "A Los Angeles clinic says it will soon help couples select both gender and physical traits in a baby when they undergo a form of fertility treatment.... It isn't clear that Fertility Institutes can yet deliver on its claims of trait selection. But the growth of PGD, unfettered by any state or federal regulations in the U.S., has accelerated genetic knowledge swiftly enough that pre-selecting cosmetic traits in a baby is no longer the stuff of science fiction."

Hubbard Glacier, Alaska: Growing and Advancing in Spite of Global Climate Change: "Hubbard Glacier, the largest calving glacier on the North American Continent (25 percent larger than Rhode Island), advanced across the entrance to 35-mile-long Russell Fiord (fig.1) during June 2002, temporarily turning it into a lake. Hubbard Glacier has been advancing for more than 100 years and has twice closed the entrance to Russell Fiord during the last 16 years by squeezing and pushing submarine glacial sediments across the mouth of the fiord ....Hubbard Glacier retreated about 38 miles between 1130 A.D. and late in the 19th century."

       Apparently it was warmer there before cars began to spew CO2. See False & politicized science and Green Lies

The new math on global warming: "The environmental movement is now conceding that the earth has a natural, moderate climate cycle.... The historic evidence of a moderate, natural 1,500-year climate cycle includes Roman writings, Egypt's early Nile flood records, and ancient Chinese court documents. The scientific evidence confirming the cycle has been literally 'dug up' ... primarily from the oxygen isotopes in long, layered ice cores, and the one-celled fossils in the bottom sediments of lakes and oceans."

The next link is simply a reminder of an important fact usually hidden by Al Gore's fans: While  CO2 from human activity is virtually irrelevant to global warming or cooling, it's serves as a wonderful fertilizer to trees, grass, and farms around the world. God's balanced plan for His creation is amazing!

 

Research and Science. The Greening of Planet Earth: The Effects of Carbon Dioxide on the Biosphere: "Is carbon dioxide a harmful air pollutant, or is it an amazingly effective aerial fertilizer? Explore the positive side of the issue in this half-hour documentary."

 

The following link is more complex, but it, too, offers a glimpse of scientific data that the UN and global managers prefer to forget. Why? Because it exposes the false science and deceptive crisis they need to control land and people around the world:

 

Research and Science. Did Increasing Solar Activity Drive 20th-Century Global Warming? "...when solar activity increases and the weak magnetic field that is carried by the solar wind intensifies (providing more shielding of the earth from low-energy galactic cosmic rays), there is a reduction in cosmic ray-induced ion production in the lower atmosphere that results in the creation of fewer condensation nuclei there and, hence, less low-level cloud cover, which allows more solar radiation to impinge upon the earth, increasing surface air temperature (and vice versa throughout)....In light of these real-world-based observations, plus the multitude of studies that indicate most climate changes of the past were clearly associated with changes in solar activity (see Solar Effects in our Subject Index), the case for anthropogenic CO2 emissions playing anything more than a minor role in contemporary global warming would appear to be fading fast. See Green Lies and Amazing Truths

March 2007

Exploding stars influence climate on earth: "Their experiments confirmed that cosmic rays, by ionising molecular particles, provide nuclei for condensation of water vapour, thereby significantly influencing cloud cover on the planet. In periods of high electro-magnetic activity in the sun, such as occurred during the past century, cosmic rays are deflected, resulting in a reduction of clouds. This effect plus greater direct radiation from the sun is likely a significant factor in global warming." See The Creator of all Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? "Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist.... But few listen....  Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification. For example, Environment Canada brags about spending $3.7 billion in the last five years dealing with climate change almost all on propaganda trying to defend an indefensible scientific position....

     "'It is a cold fact: the Global Cooling presents humankind with the most important social, political, and adaptive challenge we have had to deal with for ten thousand years....' wrote Lowell Ponte in 1976. I was as opposed to the threats of impending doom global cooling engendered as I am to the threats made about Global Warming." See Politicized Science

 

The Scientific Case against the Global Climate Treaty: "There is no current global warming and little to be expected in the future. The past, both recent and geologic, has seen large and rapid natural changes in temperature. Any onset of warmer temperatures would be expected to produce a drop in sea level, not a rise. The science of climate change is not 'settled' or 'compelling,' and there is hardly any consensus within the informed scientific community."

 

Careful Review of Science Refutes Global Warming Myths: "In almost a point-by-point refutation of Al Gore's unsupportable rant that 'the debate is over; man is warming the Earth,' Singer and Avery explain technically but lucidly why nearly every cherry-picked fact in Gore's movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' is contradicted by science.... Man is in fact all but irrelevant to global climate, as the sun and its accompanying solar system rule.

      "Anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming has been the scare du jour of the collectivist environmental movement, socialist countries, and academic money launderers for nearly a decade now.  ...efforts to combat global warming will have long-term, serious, negative impacts on the citizens of the world, whose quality of life, especially in the poorest nations, will be disastrously worsened. It will not be possible to read Unstoppable Global Warming without being convinced a sham is being perpetrated on society." See False or Politicized Science

February 2007

Did Increasing Solar Activity Drive 20th-Century Global Warming? "Knowing that variations in solar activity correlate closely with climatic variations, but that climatic changes attributable to changes in solar activity are much larger than can be explained by changes in solar irradiance, Shaviv realized that an amplifier of some sort must be involved in the solar/climate relationship.....In light of these real-world-based observations, plus the multitude of studies that indicate most climate changes of the past were clearly associated with changes in solar activity, the case for anthropogenic [based on human activity] CO2 emissions playing anything more than a minor role in contemporary global warming would appear to be fading fast." See The amazing Creator of all

 

Human-Caused Global Warming Slight So Far: "20,000 scientists, of whom about 2,700 of them are physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers or environmental scientists, who are in a position to understand the global warming issues, have signed the following statement: 'There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth." See Basic facts about the environmental movement

Science.  The Sunspot Cycle: "Early records of sunspots indicate that the Sun went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th century. Very few sunspots were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715... This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the 'Little Ice Age' when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes.... The connection between solar activity and terrestrial climate is an area of on-going research." See some interesting pictures below:

Sunrays - Crepuscular Rays

 

Rays & Shadows: "Dust, small aerosols and moisture droplets scatter light to make the sun's rays visible....  Air and very small particles scatter colours selectively to paint the blues of skies and fires of sunsets."

 

Brrrr I'm COLD; It must be Global Warming: “'We lost another calf,' were the dreaded words uttered discouragingly by my farmer husband after he had finished the morning chores. Unexpectedly, three cows decided this bitterly cold weather was a good time to calve and by the time the babies were found, they were almost frozen....

     "We live in a deep valley with rich farmland formed by glaciers. A description of the area by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources says, 'When the glacier reached its southernmost limit about 20,000 years ago, the ice was a mile thick at Chicago….'
If there was a mile thick chunk of ice 20,000 years ago, what happened to it? Power generation, home heating, factories and auto emissions certainly didn’t have anything to do with the melt down." See
Al Gore’s Vision of Planetary Oneness

 

Exploding stars influence climate on earth: "...cosmic rays, by ionising molecular particles, provide nuclei for condensation of water vapour, thereby significantly influencing cloud cover on the planet. In periods of high electro-magnetic activity in the sun, such as occured during the past century, cosmic rays are deflected, resulting in a reduction of clouds. This effect plus greater direct radiation from the sun is likely a significant factor in global warming. [Totally unrelated to human activity] Unlike biased computer simulations with uncertain inputs and questionable feedback programs as used by anthropogenic Global Warming proponents, this is the first time that Climate Change theories have been the subject of a confirming experiment."

 

repeat Darwin's Black Box: "...life is based on machines -- machines made of molecules! Molecular machines haul cargo from one place in the cell to another along 'highways' made of other molecules, while still others act as cables, ropes, and pulleys to hold the cell in shape. ...if you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machines—the basis of life—developed, you find an eerie and complete silence. The complexity of life’s foundation has paralyzed science’s attempt to account for it; molecular machines raise an as-yet-impenetrable barrier to Darwinism’s universal reach." See The Creator of all

Replacement limbs moved by thought: "A new technique for linking nerves to artificial limbs has enabled a young woman to move her prosthetic arm just like a real one - by thought alone.... Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) ... involves transferring residual nerves from the stump of an amputated limb to different muscles." See The Creator of all

December 2006

False or Politicized Science. CO2 and alarmism [by the respected atmospheric physicist, Dr. S. Fred Singer]: "The U.S. Supreme Court is currently addressing a question of crucial importance to the U.S. economy: Is carbon dioxide, from fossil-fuel burning for energy production a 'pollutant' that requires regulation?... Absence of good science is evident.... To buttress his claim that anthropogenic [caused by human activities] global warming would injure Massachusetts, its assistant attorney general, James Milkey, invoked sea-level rise and loss of coastal lands, relying on a previous affidavit but suggesting the court not inquire into its merits. ... 

     "Tidal gauges around the world show no acceleration during the 20th century but only a steady rise -- in spite of strong global warming before 1940. How can this be? Evidently, the rise expected from melting glaciers and a warmer, expanding ocean is largely offset by loss of water from increased ocean evaporation and consequent more ice accumulation on the Antarctic continent....

      "...most of the warming is of non-greenhouse origin and therefore part of a natural climate cycle. In other words, [computer] models exaggerate the effects of CO2, and even drastic efforts to control emissions are unlikely to affect global climate. In fact, there is good reason to consider rising CO2 levels a blessing.... Agronomists agree that, as the essential plant food, more CO2 would enhance growth of crops and forests. Longer growing seasons and fewer frosts would benefit agriculture. Further, ocean warming inevitably increases evaporation and therefore precipitation, raising global supplies of fresh water....

      "Thus, the drive to regulate CO2 -- and effectively control energy -- appears to be based on ideology rather than science or any real concern about climate. Quoting Lenin: 'The establishment of socialism in capitalist nations requires only targeting their supply of energy.'" See Al Gore’s Vision of Global Salvation

June 2006

There Is No 'Consensus' On Global Warming: "According to Al Gore's new film "An Inconvenient Truth," we're in for "a planetary emergency": melting ice sheets, huge increases in sea levels... unless we change the way we live now. Bill Clinton has become the latest evangelist for Mr. Gore's gospel....

      "Mr. Gore assures us that 'the debate in the scientific community is over.'... To believe it requires that one ignore the truly inconvenient facts. To take the issue of rising sea levels, these include: that the Arctic was as warm or warmer in 1940... that the evidence so far suggests that the Greenland ice sheet is actually growing on average.... Since about 1970, many of the glaciers have stopped retreating and some are now advancing again....

    "...nonscientists generally do not want to bother with understanding the science. Claims of consensus relieve policy types, environmental advocates and politicians of any need to do so....

    "...given that the question of human attribution largely cannot be resolved, its use in promoting visions of disaster constitutes nothing so much as a bait-and-switch scam....

    "Lastly, there is a clear attempt to establish truth not by scientific methods but by perpetual repetition." (by Richard S. Lindzen, Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT, 6-26-06) See Al Gore's Vision of Global Salvation

 

Inconvenient truth about global warming: "A panel of eminent scientists testified yesterday at a congressional hearing on global warming.... The worthies confided that Earth hasn't been this hot in 400 years, and maybe longer.... If the Earth was this hot 400 years ago, or even 4,000 years ago, then the recent warming could not have been caused by the madness of man's machines, the flatulence of cows, or even hot air from professors hot to get their names in the paper. Their presentation was studded with 'likely,' 'maybe,' 'could be,' and 'very close to being right'....

      "The panelists... conceded that well, umm, OK, it is true that the Earth suffered a "Little Ice Age" for about 350 years after 1500. But hey, who's counting? Between the year A.D. 1 and the year 1850, volcanos and fluctuations in the heat from the sun were responsible for temperature changes....

      "Richard Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writes... '[T]here is a sinister side to this feeding frenzy. Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.' He recalls how Mr. Gore, as a senator in 1992, tried to bullyrag dissenting scientists.... Mr. Gore... suggested that we join the fun, too, and even if we printed stuff that wasn't exactly true it would be OK because the cause was just. This is Mr. Gore's 'inconvenient truth.'" See Saving the Earth

Volcanic eruptions may trigger El Nino ... atmospheric cooling ..Pacific Ocean warming: "When a volcano erupts in the tropics, its aerosol emissions spread into the stratosphere across the Northern and Southern hemispheres, reflecting some of the sun’s heat back toward space and thereby cooling the Earth’s atmosphere. This cooling alters the interaction between the oceans and atmosphere, possibly encouraging a warming response in the Pacific Ocean..." See the next two links:

False & politicized science. The end of the world -- according to Gore: "Less than 10 years.'' That, Gore warns, is all the time that 'leading scientists' say we may have 'before we cross a point of no return' -- unless we make a 'really good start toward dramatic changes' to combat global warming."

 

Two studies lessen concerns of Antarctic warming: "'Higher average temperatures result in the melting of glaciers, in ice being discharged into the oceans from the ice caps of Antarctica.' So stated Al Gore in his well-known book, Earth in the Balance.... Now comes two new studies offering a brighter take on this state of affairs. The first comes from the journal Science which notes that new measurements taken in the West Antarctic show the ice sheet is actually thickening, not melting....

     "Antarctica's harsh desert valleys – long considered a bellwether for global climate change – have grown noticeably cooler since 1986.... No doubt these Antarctic findings are continuing to chill concerns about catastrophic man-made global warming."

 

Melting the facts about Greenland's ice sheet: "Sorry, Dr. Hansen, but the melting edges of the Greenland ice sheet don't prove your point. Melting around the edges is exactly what the Vikings saw on Greenland 1000 years ago when they named the island—for its green coastal meadows. They moved in with their cattle, and thrived for 300 years, during what we now call the Medieval Warming. The Vikings' mistake was thinking that Greenland would stay warm, that the Earth's climate was stable. Greenland was then warmer than today, and the summers were longer. ...

      "Then Greenland's climate suddenly got colder. The Little Ice Age had begun. Sea ice moved south, and the Vikings' sailing ships could no longer get through to trade wood for seal furs....

     "Our panic-prone scientists seem to have forgotten their own ice cores, drilled deep into the Greenland ice sheet in the 1980s. These ice cores document a natural, sudden-but-moderate 1500-year global warming cycle.... Our moderate warming to date—0.8 degree C—virtually all occurred before 1940, and thus before much industrial development."

March

Climate of Fear: "Everything from the heat wave in Paris to heavy snows in Buffalo has been blamed on people burning gasoline to fuel their cars, and coal and natural gas to heat, cool and electrify their homes. Yet how can a barely discernible, one-degree increase in the recorded global mean temperature since the late 19th century possibly gain public acceptance as the source of recent weather catastrophes?...

     "Ambiguous scientific statements about climate are hyped by those with a vested interest in alarm, thus raising the political stakes for policy makers who provide funds for more science research to feed more alarm to increase the political stakes. After all, who puts money into science -- whether for AIDS, or space, or climate -- where there is nothing really alarming?"

In praise of Darwin this Sunday… in hundreds of churches! "...over 10,200 clergy had signed this awful letter. The next step for Zimmerman (again, using the university’s website) was to solicit donations so that funds could be obtained to publicize this clergy letter.... He set up an arrangement with an organization called The Christian Alliance for Progress (CAP) to accept tax-deductible donations for his national project.

     "Regarding homosexuality, CAP states (under the heading 'Rejecting bigotry, embracing dignity—equality for homosexual people') that 'Jesus taught equality, justice and obligation." See What Darwin didn't know

 

How Pygmy Ota Benga ended up in Bronx Zoo as Darwinism dawned: "Ota Benga was placed in a new home: the monkey house at the Bronx Zoo.... When the chilly days of autumn arrived, the Pygmies weren't permitted to wear warm clothes because that wouldn't have been authentic....

     "...he was locked in a cage in the monkey house, often in the company of an orangutan named Dohong. Bones were scattered around the cage to make Ota Benga's sharpened teeth seem more savage.... The story of Ota Benga is a sad and maddening example of the kinds of blunders that occurred at a time when the theory of Darwinism was rationalizing the evolution of humanity. To the thousands of spectators in St. Louis in the summer of 1904, the Department of Anthropology's exhibits of Pygmies, American Indians, Filipinos and Asians living in reconstructed huts and villages seemed to prove that man had indeed ascended from savages to masters of civilization....

     "The Colored Baptist Ministers' Conference, among others, quickly denounced the 'degrading exhibition.' 'Our race is depressed enough,' said the Rev. James Gordon, 'without exhibiting one of us with apes.'... 'The Darwinian theory is absolutely opposed to Christianity,' he said."

Professor: Evolution cannot fully explain biology: "A biochemistry professor who is a leading advocate of "intelligent design" testified Monday that evolution alone cannot explain complex biological processes, and he believes God is behind them. Lehigh University Professor Michael Behe was the first witness called by a school board that is requiring students to hear a statement about the intelligent design concept in biology class." See Darwin's Black Box

 Intelligent Design Deserves Intelligent Debate: (Scroll down to title) "The theory of Intelligent Design has many supporters, both secular and non-secular, who do not support evolution because of the tremendous logical and mathematical gaps in its account of the development of living structures.

‘High-Tech Bestiality’ Life Imitates Art in the Lab: "In H. G. Wells’s classic novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, the sole survivor of a shipwreck lands on an island filled with human-animal hybrids.... There he discovers Dr. Moreau, a notorious medical researcher who was run out of London for his experiments. Though it was science-fiction in 1896, Wells’s novel is frighteningly close to science today....

     "Researchers call these man-made combinations 'chimeras,' after the mythological creature that was part lion, goat, and serpent. ... Even the magazine Scientific American says that some human-animal chimeras 'disquietingly blur the line between species.' It notes that 'no one knows what the consequences will be as the proportion of human cells in an animal increases.'” See Brave New World

Biblical Pool of Siloam Is Uncovered in Jerusalem: "The pool was fed by the now famous Hezekiah's Tunnel and is 'a much grander affair' than archeologists previously believed, with three tiers of stone stairs allowing easy access to the water, according to Hershel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archeology Review. ...A gospel that was thought to be 'pure theology is now shown to be grounded in history,' he said." See God's unchanging Word

 

Erotic and Violent Images Cloud Visions: "When people see violent or erotic images, they fail to process whatever they see next.  '...people fail to detect visual images that appeared one-fifth of a second after emotional images, whereas they can detect those images with little problem after viewing neutral images.... Your brain might suggest you watch the road ahead, but your emotions force you to look at the accident on the side of the road....

    "In a follow-up study, negative images were replaced by erotic shots. The effect was the same. 'This suggests that emotionally arousing images impact attention in similar ways whether they are perceived as positive or negative.... If you are simply driving down the road and you see something that is sexually explicit on a billboard, the odds are that it is going to capture your attention and – for a fraction of a second afterwards – you will be less able to pay attention to other information in your environment.'" See The Power of Suggestion

Research. Drivers on Cell Phones Kill Thousands, Snarl Traffic: "A new study confirms that the reaction time of cell phone users slows dramatically, increasing the risk of accidents and tying up traffic in general.... Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year...  Drivers look but don't see, because they're distracted by the conversation. The scientists also found previously that chatty motorists are less adept than drunken drivers with blood alcohol levels exceeding 0.08. ... The impaired reactions involved seconds, not just fractions of a second, so stopping distances increased by car-lengths."

July

Human-Animal Chimeras: "Stem cells facilitate the production of advanced interspecies chimeras -- organisms that are a living quilt of human and animal cells. The ethical issues raised by the very existence of such creatures could become deeply troubling.

    "In Greek mythology, the chimera was a monster that combined the parts of a goat, a lion and a serpent. With such a namesake, laboratory-bred chimeras... may be unavoidable if stem cells are ever to be realised as therapies. ...The intermingling of tissues could also make it easier for infectious animal diseases to move into humans. Diseases that hop species barriers can be particularly devastating because the immune systems of their new hosts are so unprepared for them." See Gen 11:4-9

'Human-brained' monkeys: "...scientists have injected human brain cells into monkey fetuses to study the effects.... An eminent committee of American scientists will call for restrictions into the research, saying the outcome of such studies cannot be predicted and may in fact produce subjects with a 'super-animal' intelligence. ... The committee will also examine how detectable differences in the monkey's brains, for example emotional or behavioural changes, or if the monkeys developed 'self awareness', could be measured - and dealt with."

Young Earth Creationist Has New Bone to Pick With Evolutionists: "According to an article published in last month's Science magazine, in 2003 scientists found a Tyrannosaurus Rex thigh bone during an archaeological dig. The research team had to break the bone in pieces in order to fit it into a helicopter, and when they did so, they discovered the fossil contained well-preserved soft tissues, including blood vessels....

    "The general consensus among scientists prior to the find was that such soft tissue could not survive for tens of millions of years. Now, the dinosaur remains have many evolutionists scrambling to accommodate their evolutionist ideas about origins." See Origin of life

Data reveal cooler air, thickening ice sheets, near South Pole: "'Higher average temperatures result in the melting of glaciers, in ice being discharged into the oceans from the ice caps of Antarctica.' So stated Al Gore in his well-known book, Earth in the Balance....

       "...the journal Science... notes that new measurements taken in the West Antarctic show the ice sheet is actually thickening, not melting, reversing earlier estimates about its condition. The new measurements, taken from the Ross ice streams using special satellite-based radars, indicate the ice streams in the region have slowed or halted altogether.... This finding comes less than a week after another astonishing revelation published in the prestigious journal Nature, which reports that Antarctica's harsh desert valleys – long considered a bellwether for global climate change – have grown noticeably cooler since 1986." See Saving the Earth and the next 2 links:

Polar history shows melting ice-cap may be a natural cycle: "THE melting of sea ice at the North Pole may be the result of a centuries-old natural cycle and not an indicator of man-made global warming.... After researching the log-books of Arctic explorers spanning the past 300 years, scientists believe that the outer edge of sea ice may expand and contract over regular periods of 60 to 80 years. This change corresponds roughly with known cyclical changes in atmospheric temperature. The finding opens the possibility that the recent worrying changes in Arctic sea ice are simply the result of standard cyclical movements, and not a harbinger of major climate change. The amount of sea ice is currently near its lowest point in the cycle and should begin to increase within about five years." See False & politicized science

Global warming: 21st century eugenics: "The first International Congress of Eugenics was held in 1912.... Eugenics proponents reasoned that since society could be improved by insuring that only the 'well-bred' should produce offspring, then society would be diminished by the offspring of people who were... poor, criminals or 'feebleminded.'...

     "By the mid 1930s, the theory of eugenics was accepted as fact in America and throughout Europe. Julian Huxley (founder of UNESCO and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) was the president of the European Eugenics Society.... Eugenics was the consensus belief among the scientific, academic, political and philanthropic communities....

     [Today] "Scientists who dare to question the global warming 'consensus' are ridiculed and branded as contrarians, as were the skeptics of eugenics. Government and foundations withhold grants from researchers whose work product fails to advance the global warming consensus....

    "Universities and education associations teach the global warming theory as fact, just as they taught the theory of eugenics as fact. Even churches are pressured to take up the global warming cause – just as they were pressured to preach eugenics." The same is true of evolution! See What Darwin didn't know

Law of the Land: "On Oct. 18, the Dover school board voted 6-3 to add the teaching of 'intelligent design' to its ninth-grade biology curricula. Without identifying who the 'designer' might be, the theory of intelligent design says the complexity and order of the universe and mankind suggest the action of an intelligent cause rather than random chance. ... The ACLU, however, takes no comfort in that assurance and sees intelligent design as a more secular form of creationism, the biblically based view of the Earth's origin. ...the legal group says the Dover policy violates the First Amendment Establishment Clause of the Constitution."

An Atheist's Apostasy -- Data won over professor; why shun it in class? (UK): "British professor Antony Flew, for decades one of the world's leading philosophers of atheism, publicly announced that he now affirms the existence of a deity. To be sure, Mr. Flew has not become an adherent of any creed. He simply believes that science points to the existence of some sort of intelligent designer of the universe. He says evidence from DNA research convinces him that the genetic structure of biological life is too complex to have evolved entirely on its own. Though the 81-year-old philosopher believes Darwinian theory explains a lot, he contends that it cannot account for how life initially began.

      "...it's refreshing to see that an academic of his stature is unafraid to let new facts change his mind. The philosopher told [AP]... 'My whole life has been guided by the principle of Plato's Socrates: Follow the evidence, wherever it leads.'" See What Darwin Didn't Know

What made us human? Running, study says: "...scientists suggest that endurance running -- a long, steady jog, rather than a sprint -- played a major role in human evolution....

100 Scientists, National Poll Challenge Darwinism: "In an ironic greeting to the seven-part public television series 'Evolution' that begins tonight, 100 scientists have declared that they 'are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.' The signers say, 'Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.'

      "Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based public policy center, compiled the list of statement signers.... "[The producers of  'Evolution']  want people to think that the only criticism of Darwin's theory today is from religious fundamentalists," said Discovery president Bruce Chapman. "They routinely try to stigmatize scientists who question Darwin as 'creationists'.' ...

     "'The numbers of scientists who question Darwinism is a minority, but it is growing fast,' said Stephen Meyer, a Cambridge-educated philosopher of science who directs the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture at Discovery Institute. 'This is happening in the face of fierce attempts to intimidate and suppress legitimate dissent. Young scientists are threatened with deprivation of tenur....

     "Signers of the statement questioning Darwinism came from throughout the US and from several other countries, representing biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, anthropology and other scientific fields....

     Despite repeated requests, the series' producers [of  'Evolution'] refused to cover scientific objections to Darwinism.... Jed Macosko, a young research molecular biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, and a statement signer, said, 'It is time for defenders of Darwin to engage in serious dialogue and debate with their scientific critics. Science can't grow where institutional gatekeepers try to prevent new challengers from being heard." [emphasis added] See Origin of life

Children to get jabs against drug addiction (UK): "A radical scheme to vaccinate children against future drug addiction is being considered by ministers....
