Pictures of Dinosaurs

June 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Some science educators are critical of a Kentucky museum that has pictures of dinosaurs in an advertisement to draw people into their museum.  One may wonder why all the hubbub?   The twist to the story is that the museum is known as the “Creation Museum” and it is designed to have people experience Old Testament exhibits surrounding creation.  I guess that means the scientists that are in protest must be “Big Bang” theorists.

In my honest opinion, I have no idea if dinosaurs were around and roamed the earth or not.  Frankly, it does not make a difference in our eternal destination and therefore I do not place a lot of my time or efforts debating this topic.  However, I do know that God did create the animals before He created mankind and the Bible does refer to some of those animals as “sea monsters” and “beasts”.  Here is what Genesis Chapter 1, Verses 20 – 27 has to say on the subject:

“Then God said, ‘Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.’  God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.’  There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind’; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’  God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Dinosaurs, Plants, and People

June 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It is interesting to me that science has evolved to the point that we can determine when and where dinosaurs, plants, and people have died.  I just read an article that indicated, based on textual and geological clues, along with astronomical data, and considering the Gregorian calendar, that we can determine that Jesus was crucified on Friday April 3, 33 A.D. This finding was discovered by geophysical geologist Jefferson Williams and the German Research Center for Geosciences researchers Markus Schwab and Achim Brauer, during their studies regarding earthquakes around the time Jesus Christ was crucified.

What I find more interesting is the article does not address “if” He was crucified or even “if” He was born.  I guess we have moved past those quandaries and have agreed both of those events took place.  Now we are looking at “when” He was crucified.  Since that question seems to have been answered, I guess there is only one piece of the puzzle left to solve. Did Jesus truly resurrect?

Well, I don’t know that there will ever be scientific evidence of this occurring, however, there is the fact that the Bible has been found to be a sound historical reference.  So if that is the case, then here is a piece of information to help you along your spiritual journey:

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;” (1Cornithians 15:3-6)

Future Predictions

About a year ago I read an article on the web from moneycentral.msn that caused me to sit up and take notice.  You see, I wrote Donovan’s Law about four years ago so when articles like the one below make the news, I wonder if Donovan’s Law is really that far into the future.

 “An implantable chip (in your hand) could allow you to charge purchases or even start your car. It’d be convenient, to be sure. But would it be too creepy?  It’s a simple concept, really: You inject a miniature radio frequency identifier the size of a grain of rice between your thumb and forefinger and, with a wave of your hand, unlock doors, turn on lights, start your car or pay for your drinks at an ultrachic nightspot.

 “The problem is, the whole concept is a little geeky for most of us, nauseating for some, Orwellian for a few and even apocalyptic for a smattering of religious fundamentalists.  Forget the science of it — and yes, it does work remarkably well. Forget the convenience of it. Forget that similar identifying technologies, from bar codes to mag stripes, overcame similar obstacles and are now ubiquitous…it’s too icky.”

Donovan’s Law…a futuristic thriller…or…is it?
