BEATING HEART

 

HUMANS FROM SPONGES?

 The Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This creating must therefore include everything in the heavens and the earth. The ultimate creature that God made is the human being.

 Contrary to this, the evolutionist says that over billions of years the human being was derived from ever complicating living things beginning with a single cell. So let’s look at this derivation of life from complex back to the simple.

 Man came from Homo, Paranthropus, Australopithicus, and Ardipithicus groups. These in turn presumably came from the apes and monkeys. From whence came the apes and monkeys gets a little confusing. The general term for their supposed ancestors is Proto-Primates which were similar to squirrels and lemurs.

 The previous group was possibly smaller rodents, who came from the anagalids in China. They are extinct, but a Gliriform tooth was found that may have been from one of them. Paleontologists can surmise a lot of information from a single tooth or a bone fragment.

 Or the previous group could have been the Mimotonids. Jaw and teeth samples of this were found in Mongolia. This is getting more confusing, but somehow all the animals came from the first ones, the comb jelly and the sponge. How these huge changes occurred over the millennia is a mystery that nobody can answer, mainly because it is logically impossible.

 Of course the animals must have come from plants or bacteria or amoeba or who knows what. And animals need oxygen and many other elements simply to survive. So where did the elements come from? Did they all evolve from Hydrogen? It’s not likely!

 In short, God created all of the elements in the beginning, along with everything else. And He made all of the animals after their kind – the equivalent of the family in modern terminology. He made the rodents and apes and sponges as separate entities, and created man after His own image and “breathed in man the breath of life, and man became a living soul.”

THANK GOD FOR CABLE NEWS!

 Cable news adds another dimension to the traditional ABC, NBC, and CBS networks. Plus it’s on for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Obviously nobody can watch it all, but it gives us very good choices from which to get the news, as well as plenty of opinions about the news.

 According to Deadline.com the following are statistics for 2021 for the three top cable networks. According to their website, “Deadline.com is always the first to break up-to-the-minute entertainment, Hollywood and media news, with an unfiltered, no-holds-barred analysis of events.”

 “In primetime, FOX NEWS topped with an average of 2.13 million viewers, compared to 1.31 million for MSNBC and 798,000 for CNN.” FOX had as many viewers as MSNBC and CNN combined.

 In post news analysis: ”Tucker Carlson Tonight was the top show in cable news, averaging 2.81 million total viewers, followed by Hannity with 2.59 million, The Five with 2.53 million, The Rachel Maddow Show with 2.27 million and The Ingraham Angle with 2.09 million.” And GUTFELD had 1.47 million viewers.

 There are some who think FOX is too conservative in both news and weather reporting, especially regarding the man-made climate change hoax, about which this writer has previously blogged. But their huge viewership indicates that a large number of people are in agreement with their perspective.

 It’s true that “junk climatological theories” are dangerous. But all current information about the climate is theoretical. We know today’s climate, but next year’s is an educated guess. Will global temperatures rise to unlivable levels? Nobody knows. This is worth repeating. Nobody knows. It’s all speculation.

 The same is true regarding the 2020 presidential election, where some say there was zero evidence of widespread voter fraud. Actually there is zero evidence that there was zero evidence of voter fraud.  The word “widespread” is added to minimize the actual fraud that occurred.

 This is what is so great about our freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Each of us can express our views and opinions and then choose what to believe about what others have written and said.
