Around the Web

Eventually I will post my own thoughts once again, but I am finding so much good stuff to read as I surf the Web that I thought I would share some of it. It is encouraging to find somewhat like-minded believers all over the world, some even fairly close to home as in this case. We are, to coin a phrase by Bill B, "walking alone together."

This is from the Mangdiddles blog:

Little Green Foot in the Mouth

As you all know (all four of you), I am a big supporter of Charles Johnson at the Little Green Footballs. I think that there is no better place to find a balanced view of Islamic terrorism and the lack of coverage of it by Main Stream Media.

However, I believe he has "thrown me under the bus" so to speak when it comes to my adherence to the Word of God.

Charles has taken an almost militant stance on the subject of Intelligent Design, and those of us who believe that we were created by a loving God, and not evolved form nothing like Darwinism's proponents would like us to think.

Though I highly admire Charles' ability to find and blog important stories, I am a bit disappointed with where his anti-Creationist stance is taking his site. I go there 3 or 4 times a day... or at least used to, to see what the 'Big Three' refuse to report. I do not need to be attacked for my beliefs each time I want to see the news, so I have chosen to delete the link from my Firefox toolbar. Of course it is his blog, and his right to blog as he seems fit. It was a hard decision to make, but in the end my patronage is not worth it.

I don't know about all of the people that support Creationism - I had no idea that Muslims were Creationists, yet I have been lumped in with the likes of terrorists and freaks because I believe the words of the bible.

When I think about it, it makes sense that Islamic people would be Creationists, because they claim to believe the Torah; that is beside the point though. As a Messianic believer, I believe what the bible says - God created everything in 6 days, and rested on the 7th. That is the heart of the issue; I believe it, and Charles does not. For one reason or another, he has chosen to slam each of us who take the Word of God at face value, and I refuse to apologize for it.

Muslims do not believe in abortion... but that shouldn't condemn all Pro Life people.

Here are some points on the issue from my perspective:

1. The God of Israel (LGF supports Israel, just as I do) claims in His Word to be the one that created mankind in the form of a man and a woman. They were formed from the dust of the earth (Adam) and given the breath of life from God Himself.

2. The fact that Muslims believe and even support Creationism does not make the concept evil any more than Hitler's like for chocolate makes Hershey's bars evil.

3. Despite the media's attempts to make it fact, evolution is still a theory, and should be taught as one. It is represented as fact; from science text books to math books, "millions of years" is the mantra.

4. Scientific evidence for the transmutation of species is a myth... unless you count things like the donkey, which can not reproduce. You will never see an ant evolve into a bumble bee, or a mole, or a flower, or a monkey.

4. Scientific laws, if that is what evolutionists are basing their argument on, condemn the theory of evolution and the Big Bang. Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics in particular deny the plausability of such occurrences.

5. The laws of mathematics and information still say that nothing times nothing equal nothing. All information has to have an informer. If you see a neatly kept garden in the middle of the forest, logic and science tell you that it had to be planted and tended to.

6. The fear of admitting that there is a God is ordinarily the #1 roadblock to admitting these truths, because with that admission comes a responsibility to put God in His proper place in our lives - at the top.

7. I will err on the side of God's Word any day of the week - even if it means getting rid of my link to a favorite news source. In the end, I do not have to defend God - He is fully capable of taking care of that Himself, which coincidently is the very reason that there is a state of Israel today in the first place -

His Word is True.
