Points to Ponder About the Flood…
This is the title of another article I feel I could comment on. The web site is: www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=77/ and the author is Dr. Kent Hovind of the Creation Science Evangelism web site. I will be quoting from the article and trying my best to comment on it, but it will be hard for me because, as you all must know by now, I am a moron. A moron with an agenda. Note that the numbers in the quotes are from Hovind’s own list, so if you see a number missing, it’s because I did not quote that particular one. The arguments presented by Hovind are typically believed by most creationists. The author lists his own brief comments in a numbered list so I will start with the first quote from the author: 1. Over 250 Flood legends from all parts of the world have been found. Most have similarities to … Continue reading

Plate Tectonics of the Universe…
Yeah! More weird stuff! OK. Here we go. This is a post about what the cosmologists and physicists will eventually discover. Analogous to the Earth’s plate tectonics theory, here is how the universe works: Space-time is made up of many “tectonic” space-time plates which drift around the universe and have subduction zones and zones in which new space is created. Black holes are the subduction zones of the universe and the stars are the volcanic areas. When matter is “subducted” into black holes, matter and space and time are swallowed up. To replace this missing mass, energy, and time, it re-emerges from “singularities” at the center of stars. Some “singularities” (the star cores, not “singularity” in the strict physics definition) eventually move away from the upwelling “black hole magma” and simply die out and become relics like neutron stars, white dwarfs, etc., while others explode into super novas for various … Continue reading

Life on Mars? New Scientific Evidence.
Life on Mars? The above link will take you to a YouTube video typical of the so-called scientists and researchers such as Richard Hoagland and others who make money on the idea that there is a NASA/government conspiracy to hide the truth from us and that there is actual proof of artificial structures on Mars. Just look at the photos! Well, it may be true, but until we get some ground truth let us not jump to wild conclusions. The above video is from a presentation by Tom Van Flandern, Ph.D. The beginning of the video shows him as being associated with Meta Research, Washington, D.C. But in the video itself, he is presented as “a former chief astronomer, US Naval Observatory.” Apparently, the video editors did not think Tom (I shall call him Tom from now on) was good enough so they used the old “appeal to authority” trick … Continue reading
