Missing link finally found!!... or not

Scientist have been hailing their latest discovery as the missing link in human evolution which finally will link our ancestry to primates. "Ida" has been dubbed as the 8th wonder of the world by the scientific community. But is this latest fossil really all its cracked up to be in terms its impact on the theory of evolution?

"Scientists Unveil Missing Link In Evolution: Scientists have unveiled a 47-million-year-old fossilised skeleton of a monkey hailed as the missing link in human evolution. This 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' is described as the 'eighth wonder of the world.' The search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years -- but it was presented to the world today at a special news conference in New York. The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' -- dubbed Ida -- is described by experts as the 'eighth wonder of the world.' They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be 'somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth.' Researchers say proof of this transitional species finally confirms Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and the then radical, outlandish ideas he came up with during his time aboard the Beagle. Sir David Attenborough said Darwin 'would have been thrilled' to have seen the fossil -- and says it tells us who we are and where we came from. 'This is the one that connects us directly with them' . . . Now people can say 'okay we are primates, show us the link . . . The link they would have said up to now is missing -- well it's no longer missing'."

Look at the words used to describe the find. "the search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years" What?! So upon what have they been building the case for evolution up until now? "the link they would have said up to now is missing -- well its no longer missing" So if there were no links between humans and the animal kingdom, how in the world has the theory gained so much steam? Does anyone else see a red flag waving?
Even more telling is the following statement, "This will be the one pictured in the textbooks for the next hundred years," said Dr Jørn Hurum, the paleontologist from Oslo University’s Natural History Museum who assembled the scientific team to study the fossil. "It tells a part of our evolution that’s been hidden so far. It’s been hidden because the only [other] specimens are so incomplete and so broken there’s nothing almost to study."

As one man puts it, drop the word "almost" and you have the truth. So the question becomes, "What in the world has the theory been based upon other than imagination and conjecture up until now? And how can I trust the assessment of a group of scientists who have not been forthcoming in the past? How do we know that "Ida" will not quickly become nothing more than another illustraton of how scientists got it wrong?

Here is some more for you to laugh at...."It's caught at a really very interesting moment [in the animal's life] when it fortunately has all its baby teeth and is in the process of forming all its permanent teeth," said Dr Holly Smith, an expert in primate development at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The article goes on to say,"Crucially though, Ida is not on the lemur line because she lacks two key characteristics shared by lemurs – a grooming claw on her second toe and a fused set of teeth called a tooth comb. Also, a bone in her ankle called the talus is shaped like members of our branch of the primates. So the researchers believe she may be on our evolutionary line dating from just after the split with the lemurs."
So she hasnt formed her teeth yet but she is pulled from the lemur line because she doesnt have fused teeth? What kind of scientists are working on this? These people believe this fossil connects us to primates because of of a similarity an an ankle bone? An ankle bone? And Ida is hailed as the missing link!
If that isnt enough of a smoking gun for you, wait until you hear this from an msnbc report from May 19, 2009. "The fossil was apparently discovered in 1983 by private collectors who split and eventually sold two parts of the skeleton on separate plates: The lesser part was restored and, in the process, partly fabricated to make it look more complete."
Do I even need to say anything further?
Never be afraid to ask your evolutionist friends for "proof" of the fairy tale they call Evolution. As scientists have unwittingly confessed, there has been none until now, and even what they think they have has been "fabricated".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Seeing is Believing?

Look at the image to the right. Are the circles moving? Focus on the black dot in the center. Come on, you know they are not moving, but your eyes are deceiving you. You can't always trust what your eyes are telling you. As a matter of fact, when you look at the sky, your eyes tell you that it is blue, when in truth, as astronauts can confirm, the sky is clear. They don't have to scrape the blue off the windshield of the shuttle.
When you look at a long, flat road on a hot day, you see water on the roadway, when it is nothing more than an illusion.
These are some of the questions I like to bring up to people who demand that they must physically see God in order to believe he exists. How could they believe it even of they did see it? Maybe it would be a hallucination! Those looking for excuses often will find them, and believe me, anyone who can look at the genius of creation and still profess ignorance concerning God's existence is inventing excuses.
Even if we cannot see the creator himself, we can conclude with absolute certainty by the vast complexity of things created that he must exist. Romans 1 describes in detail how the biggest problem in the mind of the skeptic is not the lack of evidence for God, but the suppression of it, thereby rendering him without excuse on the day of judgement.
Take the example of Stonehenge. No one is foolish enough to think that these massive stones fell together in order by themselves. No one knows who put them there or how they did it, but we all know that an intelligent mind, or minds, put them in order. You would get laughed out of the scientific and historical communities of you suggested that this were a mere cosmic accident. Yet these are the same people who will look you in the eye, with a straight face, and tell you God does not exist and everything else you see, the balanced order of nature and the universe are the result of time and chance!
Psalms 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.
We don't have to literally see God to know he exists. The promise of the Bible is that if you will seek him, you will find him. If you will humble yourself before God, repent of your sins and trust the savior, Jesus Christ, then he will manifest himself to you. If you will call on the name of the Lord, you will be saved. God will come and live inside of you, and give you a new heart with new desires. Jesus described it as being born again.
He said the wind blows where it wishes, and you can hear the sound of it but you can't tell where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
You can't physically see the Holy Spirit inside of someone, but you can see the effects. You can't see wind, but you can see its effects. You see the trees moving and the dust blowing around. When a person becomes a Christian you start seeing the effects of what God is doing in his heart. No one, especially the Christian, can deny a changed heart and a changed life.
You and I may not be able to see God face to face, but we experience the effects of his creative hand in everything we see, hear taste, feel, etc.
Don't ever be afraid to defend the existence of God. Look around. He is defending it quite well all on his own.

See you on the streets!!

Liberty

Independence Day is a wonderful day of reflection and gratitude for the liberties we enjoy and the benefits of living in this great nation. As we look back on the sacrifices that men and women have made for our country, we are humbled and thankful for their efforts, and now we celebrate our independence as a free nation.
If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ, you have a reason to celebrate freedom as well. The ten great cannons of the Law of God were once pointed in your direction, and you were held under the curse of the law, with no way of escape, until Jesus Christ fulfilled it on your behalf and then bled and died to pay the penalty for your sins. You were powerless to overcome the strength of sin within you, until you were forgiven of your sins and given the Spirit of God. Then, He proved he had power over sin and death with the ultimate victory of the resurrection.
Now you and I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, joy, and celebration as we look back on the sacrifice of the Savior, and look forward to the Day of the Lord.
When we stand before the Lord, the Law will have no power over us because our sins have been blotted out. We can have great boldness and assurance in the presence of God because we are covered with the snow-white righteousness of the Son of God. Our names are written in the book, and we have an inheritance in the kingdom because of the death of the Savior.
All glory, power and honor belong to the King, our Lord Jesus Christ!
