What follows is something different for the site – an essay. mores pl (plural only) A set of moral norms or customs derived from generally accepted practices rather than written laws. July 1776: The USA was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs about morality and justice as a new republic, spun-off from the British empire. Today (2024) with an interest in inclusivity and impartiality, the USA welcomes people from all cultural backgrounds. “The great…
Earth is about 6,000 years old according to the Jewish calendar, and according to revelations by Jesus Christ. Humanity has never had a stupid caveman phase. We’ve always had a similar range of intelligence. It’s just that with education, generational progress, and iteration, our knowledge has grown exponentially. (That doesn’t discount that at some point some individuals hung out in caves and drew on the walls.) What about the light from stars taking inconceivable lightyears of time to reach us…
Data Point One points us back to the truth of Jesus, in that He is the Son of God as the Bible says He is. In the Hebrew language of Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.”, the word for God is plural. So in the Trinitarian theology, what the fathers of the Church have established through scripture and reasoning is that the three persons of God, three in one, always existed and were present…
In the bigger picture, evil is at war with God, and evil is at war with Humanity. Over Human history it’s been the devil’s strategy to try to get in the way of God’s plans. In the ancient history described in the Old Testament, the devil and his fallen angels had gone into nations around Israel and set up ‘false gods’ and incorrect ways of living and incorrect ways of worship. They’ve sought to introduce errors or attack the truth….
In Genesis, after the great flood there is Abram, a man who loved God, and he was an 11th generation descendant of Noah. God promised him the land that would later be called Israel. God visited with him and changed his name to Abraham. The prophet Abraham despite being senior in his years had a son, Issac. Issac grew up and had two sons, who though they were fraternal twins, were very different. Esau was born first. Then immediately after,…
Browsing the Neanderthal entry on Wikipedia, we see a vast tome of detailed dates and assertions. Consider that the detail of a crafted lie lends credibility. What is anybody to think when told that in the face of all of this detail that humans didn’t evolve from apes which evolved from goo? Well, Data Point One points us to the truth that God created Earth, and people. The idea that this is not true is an opinion formed in ignorance…
Archeologists dig for past human civilizations, and paleo-anthropologists dig for bones at locations all around the world. However they keep getting the theory of Neanderthals wrong, due to the reliance on the debunked Theory of Evolution. As we note in Data Point One, the God of the Bible is real, and so the Bible is real, and God’s statements of human history given to Moses in the book of Genesis, are accurate. They’re the God’s Honest Truth in fact. Therefore…
Here’s a new theory for you: Dinosaurs lived along side humans mere thousands of years ago. That’s the case that Christian apologist organization Answers in Genesis asserts. Branching off from the truth of Data Point One, we have to face it that the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, the God of Israel is real. The Holy Bible is the Word of God, which means it must be the truth. When we go back to the book of…
Answers in Genesis is an organization founded by Pastor Ken Ham, which describes how the Holy Bible is the Word of God, and so it is true. They have employed scientists to assist in proving the truth of the Bible, and their final product is very persuasive. Consider how in biology class, we were all told not to start with the starting point of something about human history or the planet Earth from any religion, because “that’s all mythology“. The…
Nightly news watchers have all seen the footage from the Antarctic with a lone polar bear, simulated here. He’s not stranded on an iceberg! This bear can swim! He’s not stranded alone, he’s looking at the loud buzzing helicopter filming him! The media is tricking you emotionally. Climate change is bandied about all the time now as an existential threat, by some well meaning people, and some not-so-well-meaning people. On the one hand, we see that some effects by humans…
