THE WAR AGAINST GOD

There are many fronts in the war against God. They include aggressive fights against God from  some very dishonest scientists such as Leakey and Bill Nye. They include fights against God from legal organizations such as the A.C.L.U.   They even include fights against God from the churches - those who process to know and love God often undermine his word and set themselves and their gospels up in competition with the only true gospel delivered once to the saints.

Today, we will deal with the pathetic Bill Nye - the Science Guy - a comedian, Engineer, and all-around gadfly. He just went on record that people are irresponsible to teach their children creation. He says that even if the parents can't change their beliefs to align with his absurd "truth", they should encourage their children to!!!  He mocks those who believe the Bible and parrots the methodologies of all the biggest liars of our time.  Ridicule,  stifling of debate, and insisting unprovable ideas are true to the exclusion of all others.  Hmmm, where have we heard THAT before?   Clue:  Bill Nye endorsed Barack Obama for reelection.  We all know how interested in stifling debate and limiting scientific inquiry Mr. Obama is.  Birds of a feather flock together.

It has nothing to do with science. It is a war against God, and if you look at the children whose parents have done what Nye suggests, you see unfocused minds preoccupied with the negative, with the occult, and with self-destruction. You see kids who don't know the difference between a vagina and an anus and such elementary truths.  If one looks at math, history, or anything else, there are over forty truths against Nye. There is about  a 1% chance he is right.  Actually I found over 100,
but there is not enough room here for all so in a moment, I will give you over forty.

I went to an elite scientific university - Rensselaer.  A professor who was NOT a Christian had a standing $1,000 reward for ANYONE who could prove the earth was older than about 6,000 years.  It went unclaimed.  The simple fact is that it cannot be proven.   I have heard lectures on white holes, timewarps, general relativity and the like from scientists from Answers in Genesis, and they are quite interesting and actually LESS doctrinaire that the supposedly "open-minded" evolutionists.  When they are wrong, they admit it - they simply believe the Bible is true and seek to understand the methodology and history of our earth better.  It is a fact that in debates, evolutionists almost always lose.  One I went to was absolutely embarrassing. In fact, almost no evolutionist now believes what they claimed as a triumph of reason at the Scopes Trial in the 1920's.  While they actually lost legally, the ineptness of the creationists has cost us big to this day (don't get me started comparing Romney to William Jennings Bryan - it is distressing how he appears unable to go for the jugular when the facts are on his side - when Obama asks about his taxes, he should ask about his sealed life records on things that really DO matter such as his blatantly forged birth and selective service and social security records- it is a winning issue).  Ever notice how one-sided the press is?  They tilt the table every single day.  If they were even, evolution would lose, and so would Barack Obama and so would apostate Christianity and thousands of other things.  Whenever you hear a drumbeat, EVALUATE!

This goes for Christians as well! Some Christians are just as clueless as Bill Nye!  I hear drumbeats about "The Rapture", "tithing", and all manner of things that are simply people repeating what they have heard without actually seeing what the Bible says about it.  We need to not be guilty of what the world is - we need to study the Word of God with an open heart and simply accept the drumbeats from the spiritual establishment OR the scientific establishment.

What is a disservice is for "Big Science" to keep screaming they are right without a shred of evidence and to continue to persecute all who disagree with their latest timeline.  Just as global warming has been disproven, so will Bill Nye's myths. He believes a godless philosophy, and in case you happened to check, those who reject his ideas are the greatest academic achievers today with the fewest social and moral issues.  Who are those kids?  Homeschooled students.   It is food for thought.  By the way, and this is for free, Bill Nye's marriage lasted only seven weeks.  Perhaps he should pay attention to the basics before arguing with God. And check with God before endorsing Barack Obama (by the way 80% of atheists support Obama - the world knows who is in their corner - makes me gag when Christians say Obama is one because he said so for purely political reasons).

The media does a disservice to cheerlead the party line.  It is  proven fact that evolutionist/old earth folks care not one whit about the academic understanding of students and teachers. All they care is that the party line is towed.  Reminds me of the campaign where one of the candidates thinks he is God and the man is totally ignorant of history, science, economics, and basic human relationships. These ideas really do all flow together.

Now to the forty which were assembled by William R. Corliss An accomplished author, William R. Corliss has written 13 books for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a dozen educational booklets for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and a dozen articles for the National Science Foundation (NSF).

History

1. The oldest direct evidence of life -- written documents, clothing, remnants of civilizations, tree rings, etc. -- is no older than about 3000 B.C.

Astronomy

"Tidal friction causes the moon to recede from the earth at 4 cm per year. It would have been greater in the past when the moon and earth were closer together. The moon and earth would have been in catastrophic proximity (Roche limit) at less than a quarter of their supposed age."[4] see: Recession of the moon from the earth

   1. The Moon's orbit is a very strong counterexample: the moon is receding from the Earth at a rate[5][6] that would have placed it too close to the Earth merely four billion years ago, causing instability in its orbit, tidal catastrophes on Earth, and other problems that would have prevented the Earth and the Moon being as they are today. Additionally, the moon's orbit is becoming increasingly and unexpectedly eccentric, suggesting a lack of long-term stability,[7] which further disproves the theory of an Old Earth.

   2. Spiral galaxies appear to be young, and only implausible proposals of the existence of dark matter can reconcile the spirals with a belief in an old universe.

   3. The expansion of the universe is accelerating, which would not occur if the Big Bang were billions of years ago; the acceleration suggests that the Big Bang (or creation) was recent.[8]

   4. The planetary orbits in the Solar System - including Earth's - are unstable and unsustainable over the long periods claimed by Old Earth believers.[9][10]

   5. At least one spiral galaxy spins in the direction opposite to the spin of its tail, suggesting an age too young to have generated the tail and contradicting the theory that the tails of spiral galaxies were formed over a long period of time.[11]

   6. The primary reaction in the Sun is the fusing of hydrogen to make helium, but the ratio of these is too high for the Sun to have been burning for millions of years.

Biology

   1. Blue-eyed people are known to be only 6,000 to 10,000 years old. Moreover, the number of blue-eyed people is disappearing, further suggesting that humans have not been long in existence.[12]

   2. "DNA in “ancient” fossils. DNA extracted from bacteria that are supposed to be 425 million years old brings into question that age, because DNA could not last more than thousands of years."[13]

   3. The intelligence of humans is rapidly declining, whether measured by SAT scores,[14] music, personal letters,[15] quality of political debates,[16] the quality of news articles,[17] and many other measures. This means that if one goes back far enough, intelligence would measure at ridiculous heights, if humans were even tens of thousands of years old.

   4. The age of onset of sexual maturity is rapidly changing, suggesting that life is in a short-term rather than long-term equilibrium.[18]

      "Living fossils — jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine and hundreds more. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of years being real."[19]

   5. The high observed rate of extinctions of species[20] and harmful genetic mutations suggest a relatively short period for the existence of life rather than a long one.

   6. "Living fossils — jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine and hundreds more. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of years being real."[21]

   7. The age of onset of graying of hair or balding is rapidly decreasing, with many teenagers now experiencing baldness or premature graying (CNN's Anderson Cooper began graying as a teenager and was fully gray long before age 40);[22] many celebrities (such as American Idol winner Taylor Hicks graying in his 20s)[22] and athletes (such as Cal Ripken, Jr. graying and balding in his mid-30s)[23] increasingly experience premature graying or balding.

   8. The age of onset of cancer is markedly decreasing,[24] suggesting rapid changes inconsistent with an alleged long existence to life.

   9. The number of natural, pure-bred bred dogs declines over time as dogs naturally crossbreed; a short period of time is suggested by the fact that there are over 100 different natural, pure breeds of dog thriving today.

  10. Lack of genetic diversity among the Homo sapiens species. Were evolution and the old earth true, the human population would show a much larger genetic variance.[25] Some scientists have calculated that a troop of 55 chimpanzees contains more genetic diversity than the entire human race; this demonstrates that chimpanzees descended from a large initial population while humans descend from a much smaller one, which indeed we know to have been two people.

  11. Frequent occurrences of numerous deaths of birds and fish, which if extrapolated over millions of years would result in little or no such life today.[26]

  12. The separation between salt and freshwater fish, coupled with their inability to survive in the opposing environment, shows a lack of millions of years of evolution to enable them to spread to the opposing environment.

  13. Furthermore, the separation of land and aquatic life and a similar inability for the organisms to survive in the other environment shows a lack of millions of years of evolution to enable them to spread to the opposing environment.

  14. Biodiversity on Earth is declining too rapidly to be consistent with a long-term (Old Earth) equilibrium, with the Living Planet Index (LPI) showing "a global decline of 27% between 1970 and 2005. The terrestrial index declined by 25%, freshwater by 29% (this index is calculated to 2003 due to the lack of data available for latter years), and marine by 28%."[27]

  15. The Bible makes references to the dinosaurs. There is no explanation for this if dinosaurs supposedly lived hundreds of millions of years ago. [28]

Geology

Geological counterexamples to an Old Earth include:

"Paraconformities — where one rock stratum sits on top of another rock stratum but with supposedly millions of years of geological time missing, yet the contact plane lacks any significant erosion; that is, it is a “flat gap”. E.g. Coconino sandstone / Hermit shale in the Grand Canyon (supposedly a 10 million year gap in time)."[29]. See: Age of the earth

   1. The magnetism of the Earth is vanishing so quickly that it will disappear in 1,500 to 2,000 years;[30] extrapolating backwards does not permit an Old Earth.

   2. Paraconformities — where one rock stratum sits on top of another rock stratum but with supposedly millions of years of geological time missing, yet the contact plane lacks any significant erosion; that is, it is a “flat gap.” E.g. Coconino sandstone / Hermit shale in the Grand Canyon (supposedly a 10 million year gap in time).[31] See: Age of the earth.

   3. The frequency of large earthquakes (more than 6.99 on the Richter scale) doubles roughly every 40 years,[32] rendering long-term stability impossible. Large earthquakes have increased by more than 20% in only the last decade.[33]

   4. The continued existence of fragile natural arches without having collapsed a short time period for erosion and stresses on them.[34]

   5. An extrapolation of time between the collapse of weaker arches[35] with still-standing stronger arches supports a young earth age.

   6. The massive Great Lakes and freshwater lakes near the equator could not exist for millions of years, and several of these lakes are rapidly receding in volume; the third largest saltwater lake, Oroumieh Lake, could completely evaporate within the next five years.[36]

   7. The existence of inland saltwater lakes at high altitudes, such as Mono Lake and the Great Salt Lake, suggest a recent global flood.

   8. The relative purity of underground well water, which should be a muddy slurry had millions of years of erosion taken place.

   9. The plentiful supply of high concentrations of underground well water, which would be expected based on familiar principles of entropy to dissipate over a long period of time.

  10. Earthquakes alter the Earth's rotation several times each century;[37] extrapolating by orders of magnitude in time would have resulted in the occurrence of much larger earthquakes that would have destabilized the rotation[38]

  11. The lack of erosion between rock layers.[39][40]

  12. Levels of contamination in water are rising, as water proceeds through the water cycle it becomes progressively more contaminated. If earth (and life) had existed for billions of years, a limit would have long been reached where water (essential to life) was too contaminated for life to continue.

  13. All carbon dating of water supplies, even the most ancient and the deepest underground reservoirs, result in relatively young ages,[41] and no water has been found suggesting an Old Earth.

  14. The ratio of strontium isotopes in seawater, which should change due to long-term erosion, has varied by only 0.35% throughout history. In fact, its value today is exactly the same as in the oldest samples, which are claimed to be from 500 million years ago.

  15. The interior of the earth is heated by decay of radioactive isotopes, which could not possibly still be persisting in sufficient quantities after 5 billion, or even half a billion, years.

  16. The relatively recent separation of the still-moving continents from one land mass -- denied for 100 years by atheists before they accepted it -- suggest a young earth or at least a relatively recent cataclysmic event.

  17. Fresh tracks of motion by stationary rocks are still visible in some areas, which have baffled Old Earth scientists for more than 60 years; Old Earth magazines refer to them as "self-moving rocks."[42]

  18. Beaches have long been eroding far too quickly for the Old Earth theory; "between 80 and 90 percent of the sandy beaches along America’s coastlines have been eroding for decades," sometimes by as much as 50 feet per year.[43]

  19. Land is sinking into the oceans at a rate of at least 7 inches per century,[44] which would have rendered most of the United States under water if the Earth were not young.

  20. The flow of water in the Colorado River has been declining since the early 20th century, even after usage is considered, and the man-made Lake Mead is at risk of drying up on the next decade.[45]
