GEN:26 Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food. And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day
4.5 million years !! REALLY??

Gord, don't you know that large amounts of time is the secret ingredient that makes anything possible?

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

This is a gem of a quote:

What saddens me more than anything is they would rather believe this: than this, "In the beginning, God created..." This just proves how relevant the Gospel is today.

Isn't it amazing how they can tell so much from so little. Now that's what I call faith.

Dennis, that is just harsh. You know her cousin had to take her to the prom.

It really is incredible to me that the Darwinist would rather try to convince people of Sasquatch and space aliens than accept the truth of the existence of the True and Living God.

To think that my idea of 'pair-bonding' with my wife is neither biblical or part of God's plan, but instead a development set in motion over 4 million years ago. Wow. I wonder what kinda people the frogs in our pond will be in a billion years...

I also immediately thought of Planet of the Apes when I saw this.


Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!


Interesting how much exciting Darwinian material is coincidentally coming to light in this special year: 200 years since Darwin's birth and 150 years since the publication of the "Origin"

The Darwinist snake-oil roadshow trundles on.
