IN the NEWS - "curved, broken and stacked".... Wonder What Caused That?

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Genesis 7:19

"Greater Adria, depicted as it’s theorized to have looked years ago. Dark green areas represent land above water, while light green areas are submerged.

Researchers have discovered a continent that’s been hidden beneath Southern Europe. The landmass is as big as Greenland.
The only remaining part of this continent is a strip that runs from Turin via the Adriatic Sea to the heel of the boot that forms Italy.
During the continent’s aquatic migration, much of the landmass was scraped off when it was forced under Southern Europe’s mantle. These removed masses then formed parts of the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey.
“It is quite simply a geological mess,” said van Hinsbergen. “Everything is curved, broken and stacked."

Those 2 Institutions From the Begining

"The two ancient institutions of the Lord in Paradise were Marriage and the Sabbath, both which are called and esteemed honorable. “Marriage is honorable in all” (Hebrews 13:4); and in Isaiah the Sabbath is called “…the Holy of the Lord, honorable” (Isaiah 58:13); and Christ leads us to the beginning of them both. 

--When the question was whether men might put away their wives

for every fault, the answer is, that Moses did but suffer it to be so, because of the hardness of their hearts, but from the beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:34-37. 

--And when the Pharisees were so ignorant, that they thought works of mercy were not to be done upon the Sabbath day, Christ leads them to the first institution of it, and tells them it was made for man. Mark 2:24, 27. 

Both these institutions were made for the good and benefit of man in his Paradise estate, which is sufficient proof for their duration."

Creation Moment 6/21/2025 - Silly Evolutionist Claims About Bones

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... 

Romans 1:22

 "A recent article by anthropologist Kristina Killgrove published in Live Science .....of the claims she outlined have long been refuted, yet are still recycled today.

Claim: Babies are born with more than 300 bones in their skeleton, and by adulthood, they have only 206.

Q: How this proves human evolution?

Killgrove did not explain. Although the statement is partly true, it has nothing to do with evolution, and everything to do with engineering design. One reason is to allow the skull room to expand to create space for brain growth as the child matures. Once the brain growth is completed, the child’s skull bones fuse together, creating one large coherent bone."

OBEDIENCE

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, 

and to hearken than the fat of rams. 

1 Samuel 15:22 

"The Lord requires at this time just what He required of Adam in Eden—perfect obedience to the law of God. 

We must have righteousness without a flaw, without a blemish. 

God gave His Son to die for the world, 

but He did not die to repeal the law 

which was holy and just and good.

*The sacrifice of Christ on Calvary is an unanswerable argument

showing the immutability of the law.

*Its penalty was felt by the Son of God in behalf of guilty man, 

that through His merits the sinner might obtain the virtue of His spotless character by faith in His name."

Creation Moment 6/20/2025 - VENUS Case Study: Interacting of God's Planetary Creation

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God... Hebrews 11:3

"Venus has a crust that is all one piece, with no evidence for subduction caused by plate tectonics like on Earth,” said Dr. Justin Filiberto, deputy chief of NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

Dr. Filiberto and his colleagues used modeling to determine that its crust is about 25 miles thick on average and at most 40 miles thick.
“That is surprisingly thin, given conditions on the planet,” Dr. Filiberto said.
“It turns out that, according to our models, as the crust grows thicker, the bottom of it becomes so dense that it either breaks off and becomes part of the mantle or

gets hot enough to melt. So, while Venus has no moving plates, its crust does experience metamorphism. This breaking off or melting can put water and elements back into the planet’s interior and help drive volcanic activity.”
This gives us a new model for how material returns to the interior of the planet and another way to make lava and spur volcanic eruptions.
It resets the playing field for how the geology, crust, and atmosphere on Venus work together."

Why all can only be saved by Faith

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15

"From the very beginning, long before the days of Abraham, it was

foreseen that God would justify the heathen through faith. 

Faith is the only possible means of salvation; and unless it was the heathen who were justified by it, no one on earth could be justified, since all were heathen. 

*In the fall of Adam, all men became heathen- wanderers from the one true God."

SDA Issues- WHO in Kenya is getting FIRED for this?

"Maxwell Adventist Preparatory School is a Seventh-day Adventist institution located in Nairobi, Kenya, offering pre-primary, primary, and junior secondary school education.

Maxwell Adventist Preparatory School shared a video of students on YouTube dancing to ancient pagan dances complete with offerings to the spirit world. These kinds of dances with “offerings of food” are “made to show respect and gratitude to the ancestors.”
When a church school that bears the name Seventh-day Adventist publicly shares videos of pagan-influenced dances—especially those involving food offerings to spirits or ancestral rituals—on platforms like YouTube, it is no longer a personal or private matter; it becomes a public scandal.
Worse, it places a stumbling block before those who are seeking the truth, potentially leading souls into confusion and spiritual compromise. Scripture clearly teaches, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” (1 Timothy 5:20). By promoting these rituals online, the school is not exposing darkness—it is promoting it."

Creation Moment 6/19/2025 - p-wave magnetism

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; ...and have not LOVE, I am nothing. 

1 Corinthians 13:2
Q: Has the Creator been using p-wave magnetism to compress data and info om His Creation?

"MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips.
The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized.

Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism, termed "p-wave magnetism."
Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism.
Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparallel to each other. Taken together, the equal and opposite spins cancel out, and the antiferromagnet does not exhibit macroscopic magnetization.
The team discovered the new p-wave magnetism in nickel iodide (NiI2), a two-dimensional crystalline material that they synthesized in the lab. Like a ferromagnet, the electrons exhibit a preferred spin orientation, and, like an antiferromagnet, equal populations of opposite spins result in a net cancellation. However, the spins on the nickel atoms exhibit a unique pattern, forming spiral-like configurations within the material that are mirror-images of each other, much like the left hand is the right hand's mirror image.
What's more, the researchers found this spiral spin configuration enabled them to carry out "spin switching": Depending on the direction of spiraling spins in the material, they could apply a small electric field in a related direction to easily flip a left-handed spiral of spins into a right-handed spiral of spins, and vice-versa.
The ability to switch electron spins is at the heart of "spintronics," which is a proposed alternative to conventional electronics. With this approach, data can be written in the form of an electron's spin, rather than its electronic charge, potentially allowing orders of magnitude more data to be packed onto a device while using far less power to write and read that data." Phys.org

For "us"

"Do not let the following items escape your notice, as you read these verses:- 

a) The apostle Paul was a Jew, writing to converts from among the Gentiles; yet he classes himself with them. “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law.” (Gal.3:13)

b) Christ was made a curse for us, “that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ.” (Gal. 3:14) Here again the apostle shows that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. His being made a curse for us, brings the blessing on the Gentiles. 

c) Again is the same thing shown by the further statement that this occurred “that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Gal. 3:14) 

By one Spirit do all men, of whatever race, have access to the Father. Eph. 2:18. 

d) The blessing of Abraham comes only through the cross of Christ. It was the blessing of sins forgiven,--the gift of the perfect righteousness of God; and this comes only through Christ. Therefore Abraham's faith was in Christ and His cross."

Health Note - Rice and Heart Attacks

Beloved,

I wish above all things that thou mayest ...be in health,..

3 John 1:2

"Sudden narrowing of the coronary arteries, known as coronary artery spasms, can cause chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and other serious cardiovascular issues.

A research team from the Department of Chemical Pharmacology at Toho University’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has discovered that ferulic acid, a natural compound found in rice, and certain vegetables, can help prevent these spasms through two separate mechanisms.
The study revealed two key actions of ferulic acid: 

*It blocks calcium from entering muscle cells through L-type

calcium channels, which are normally responsible for causing the arteries to contract.
*Even when calcium is not involved, it still prevents the arteries from tightening by inhibiting the activation of a specific protein called myosin light chain, which is essential for muscle contraction.
Surprisingly, ferulic acid was sometimes even more effective than diltiazem, a widely used medication for relaxing blood vessels." SciTechDaily

Creation Moment 6/18/2025 - The Creator's Simulator of our Universe

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; ...and have not LOVE, I am nothing. 

1 Corinthians 13:2
Q: What could the Creator be using these atomic simulator system for on a cosmological scale?

"Putting unusually large atoms in a box with cold copper sides helped researchers control them for an unprecedented 50 minutes at room-temperature, an improvement necessary for building more

powerful quantum computers and simulators
Giant atoms just got a boost as contenders for making the best quantum simulators and computers, as researchers controlled them for an unprecedentedly long time for a room-temperature experiment.
--Grab an atom, 

--tune its quantum properties with electromagnetic pulses 

--changing the energies of its electrons – and you can use it to encode information. 

Do this with thousands of atoms and you have a quantum computer or a simulator for exotic quantum materials. However, after a while, atoms can spontaneously change their state, which introduces errors. They are only controllable, and therefore useful, during a finite “lifetime”, which was previously a maximum of 1400 seconds for room-temperature experiments."

All Under the Curse

"But “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Rom.

3:23. 

“The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:7. 

Therefore it is that “by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified” (Rom. 3:20), and as many as seek justification by it are under the curse. 

Note that not only the willful transgressors, but even the seekers after righteousness, if they seek it by their own works, are under the curse."

Creation Moment 6/17/2025 - The "Big Bang", Ps. 2:4 and the Last Paragraph

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: Psalm 2:4

"The faint “afterglow” that fills the universe has long been one of the most important clues supporting the Big Bang theory. Known as cosmic microwave background radiation, this ancient light not only serves as a snapshot of the early universe, but also helps scientists understand how the very first galaxies came to be.

Now, a team of researchers from the Universities of Bonn, Prague, and Nanjing is challenging what we thought we knew. 

--Their new calculations suggest that the strength of this background radiation may have been significantly overestimated. 

*If their findings are confirmed, it could force scientists to rethink some of the most fundamental ideas in modern cosmology.

According to the standard model of cosmology, the universe began

13.8 billion years ago with the Big Bang. In the moments that followed, space, time, and matter burst into existence and the universe expanded rapidly. During the first 380,000 years, it also cooled down enough for electrons and protons to combine into neutral hydrogen atoms.
This milestone allowed light to travel freely through space for the first time, since photons were no longer constantly interacting with matter. That moment marked the birth of the cosmic microwave background radiation, the universe’s original light, still detectable today.

“Our calculations indicate that some of the cosmic background
radiation actually originates from the formation of the elliptical galaxies,” says Gjergo. “This accounts for at least 1.4% of the radiation but could even account for all of it.”

Health Note -Get You Some Phytosterol Today

 Beloved,

I wish above all things that thou mayest ...be in health,..

3 John 1:2

"Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are two of the leading causes of death and long-term health problems in the United States. Now, a new study highlights how eating more plant-based foods could make a real difference. Specifically, researchers have identified a compound in plants that may help lower your risk of both conditions.
The compound is called phytosterol. It is found naturally in foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, and it has a structure similar to cholesterol.

According to the study, people who consumed more phytosterol had a significantly lower risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Those with higher intake also showed signs of better blood sugar control, less inflammation, and even changes in their gut bacteria that may support a healthier metabolism.
“Our clinical biomarker and metabolomic results suggest the involvement of insulin activity, inflammation and the metabolism of metabolites associated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” said Wang. “This suggests that phytosterol might reduce risk by alleviating insulin resistance and inflammation.” SciTechDaily

Creation Moment 6/16/2025 - Pluto's Internal Heat

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; Hebrews 1:2

"Internal heat can be produced in several ways:
*From the sun. But Pluto is too far away (about 6 billion km) to receive any significant heat from the sun.

Pluto compared to the size of the United States

*From radioactivity. But Pluto is too small to have enough radioactive materials to produce the needed heat.
*From tidal heating due to interaction with its largest moon, Charon. This may play some role in generating the internal heat of, for example, Jupiter’s moon, Io. But Jupiter is massive—over 1 million times more massive than Charon. Even though Charon is closer to Pluto than Io is to Jupiter, the tidal forces are still about 100 times smaller. That is, way too small to play a significant part.
*From internal heat present at its formation. This seems the only remaining possibility.
And that is where the dilemma is for long-agers. If Pluto were 4.5 billion years old, its internal heat would have vanished billions of years ago."

The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach’ that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens

borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.”

According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day. Romans 11:8

"Former Saddleback Church founder Rick Warren was in Rome last week to attend and speak at Global 2033, a Roman Catholic

evangelism event marking 2,000 years since the birth of Christianity. His presence there had a purpose: to convince and cajole Protestants into joining forces with Catholics to advance the Great Commission.
Speaking to EWTN (The Eternal Word Television Network, which features around-the-clock Catholic programming) Warren offered: "Because no single denomination can complete the Great Commission on their own. There are 2.5 billion people in the world who claim to believe in Jesus Christ…Of the 2.5 billion people who follow Jesus in the world, they’re not Muslims. Okay, 1.3 billion are Catholic. Okay, so it’s an enormous, it’s about half of the Christian church are Catholic. In John 17, which is Jesus’

last prayer before he goes to the cross… his great prayer there is the prayer for unity. It is still the unanswered prayer…"
Warren concluded by singing his praises for EWTN and the positive way it had impacted his life, including the praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet....... "I lost a son…it was the worst day of my life.
One of the things that helped me through was on EWTN, they were playing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. And the Chaplet of Divine Mercy ministered to me and to my wife. And just doing that, it was a healing balm in my heart. And so thank you EWTN for all you’re doing."

IN the NEWS - Luciferian Dark Money Organizing Global Unrest

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Romans 1:31

"New Schweizer team investigation reveals how 'No Kings' and its partners bagged $114.8 million from the Arabella dark money network and how these professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier.

The expected worldwide mobilization of protests this weekend,

from Mississippi to Malawi, will hardly be a spontaneous eruption. On the contrary, the tumult is a carefully plotted production (complete with a protest song book) financed by the progressive dark money network that has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests.

The dark money network funding it is known as Arabella Advisors, whose benefactors are the left's own billionaire heroes, the CONTROLIGARCHS, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.

Arabella provided nearly $5 million to two leftwing nonprofits involved with the "anti-I.C.E." riots in Los Angeles this past week, according to the most recent financial disclosures available. One of those groups, Community Change Action, supports the L.A. protests and has provided protest tips in Spanish.

And the protests this weekend? Arabella has dumped more than $100 million into the coffers of the official "No Kings" protest partners.

This weekend's day of demonstrations is dubbed "No Kings," a purpose-built protest brand created by an entity called The Indivisible Project (or "Indivisible"). That entity and its eponymous offshoots – "Indivisible Civics," "Indivisible Action," "Indivisible East Bay." .

Two of Arabella's top benefactors – the godfather of dark money, George Soros, and shadowy Swiss-billionaire Hansjorg Wyss – are anchor investors in Indivisible's operations. Soros's Open Society Network provided important financial support, ultimately upwards of $8 million, while Wyss's political action fund funneled $2.5 million

to the Indivisible professional protest machine. LinkedIn founder and Big Tech oligarch Reid Hoffman funded Indivisible's Truth Brigade (a project to combat supposed right-wing disinformation), and the left-wing funding behemoth, Tides Nexus, has given more than $3 million.

Arabella's Sixteen Thirty Fund, which The Atlantic called the "indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money," has cut multiple checks to Indivisible for "civil rights, social action, and advocacy." In its most recently available financial disclosure (2023), Indivisible reported $14.06 million in contributions.

More alarming than the staggering sums that leftwing billionaires are spending on "direct action" protest machines is the fact that taxpayers will almost certainly be funding, at least indirectly, a portion of these protests. As mentioned above, the anti-I.C.E. demonstrations in L.A. were fomented by a group that got state and federal tax dollars.

It's a force-multiplying approach that progressives have mastered, as we learned from the "Gold Bars Off the Titanic" episode, when EPA chief Lee Zeldin revealed that the Biden administration tried to disburse tens of billions of climate cash into the coffers of purpose-built progressive NGOs (Arabella's Windward Fund, for example, was a partner recipient of $2 billion from the EPA for the Rewiring America initiative that Stacey Abrams advised).


Three of the largest Arabella-run funds funneling billionaire cash to professional protest groups are the New Venture Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund."

Scale of God's Word

Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.

Daniel 5:27

"IT is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God's Word. Q: Do I take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord?

Then turn to the life of Christ -- ask yourselves how far you are conformed to His likeness. 

Endeavour to discover whether you have the meekness, the humility, the lovely spirit which He constantly inculcated and displayed. 

Take, then, the epistles, and see whether you can go with the apostle in what he said of his experience. Have you ever cried out as he did—"O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death"? 

Q: Have you ever felt his self-abasement? 

Q: Have you seemed to yourself the chief of sinners, and less than the least of all saints?  

If we thus read God's Word as a test of our spiritual condition, we

shall have good reason to stop many a time and say, "Lord,-- give me warmer zeal; inflame me with more fervent love; Let me no longer be 'found wanting,' when weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, lest I be found wanting in the scales of judgment." "

*Judge yourselves that ye be not judged."

Creation Moment 6/14/2025 - Creator's "Wall of Fire" for our protection

Creator's "Wall of Fire" for our protection from the interstellar winds

"NASA’s Voyager spacecraft have crossed the boundaries of the Solar System to uncover an astonishing phenomenon: a fiery, high-temperature “wall” beyond the outer reaches of our cosmic neighborhood. 

This “wall of fire,” found in the boundary region known as the heliopause, marks the transition from the Sun’s influence to interstellar space. As the NASA Heliophysics program explains, the heliosphere—a bubble formed by the Sun’s solar wind—extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, with the heliopause acting as the dividing line between solar and interstellar winds. ....When these spacecraft reached the edge of our solar neighborhood, they encountered a temperature spike—ranging from 54,000 to 90,000 °F—in a region now referred to as the “wall of fire.”
NASA continues, “The boundary between solar wind and interstellar wind is the heliopause, where the pressure of the two winds are in balance." msn

Second Council of Nice & "that woman Jezebel"

"Revelation 2:20 ...because you suffer that woman Jezebel, which calls her self a prophetess. 

In the history of ancient Israel, Jezebel is that heathen woman whom king Ahab married; and who brought with her her heathen worship and practices: and above all, sun-worship. 

However, it was not enough for her to bring along her heathen then worship and her god: she would supplant all the worship of God, and even God himself, by compelling all the people to worship the sun in the Baalim that she introduced. This she did so thoroughly by her persecuting power, that in all Israel there were but “seven thousand who had not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” 1 Kings 19:18. 

And even these were so scattered and concealed that the prophet Elijah thought that he alone was left, as they sought his life to take it away. 

--Exactly corresponding to this fourth phase of the Church, in the course of the Seven Churches, is the Fourth Seal in the series of the Seven Seals. 

For it is written: Revelation 6:5-8 And when he had opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 

And that this was the slaughter of the saints of God is made plain by the very next verse: 9And when he had opened the Fifth Seal, I saw under the al tar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.  This fixes upon the Papacy the application, in the Christian dispensation, of the phrase “that woman Jezebel."

In the reign of the original Jezebel, when the king charged Elijah with being “he that troubles Israel,” the prophet replied, 1 Kings 18:18 I have not troubled Israel, but you, and thy father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and you have followed Baalim. 

The ancient Jezebel caused the people not only to forsake the commandments of God, but to do honor to idols. And she not only caused them to forsake the commandments of God, and to do honor to idols, but to do honor also to the sun. 

So it was with the modern Jezebel: In the making of the Papacy, idolatry—image-worship—was introduced, and grew until it became universal in the Church. 

And when in the seventh century an effort was made to abandon it, the Church of Rome, under Pope Gregory II and his successors, defended the images and their worship, and maintained their cause until the seventh general Council, September 24 to October 23, 787, the Second Council of Nice, by a decree confirmed image worship, and established it as a legitimate part of Catholic worship."

Creation Moment 6/13/2025 - miçpâr & chûg

"Isaiah 40:26: "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host by number: He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one fails." 

Here, Isaiah comforted Israel by reminding them that their God created the heavens and did so much like a general would line up his troops for war. 

From Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, The Hebrew word for "number" used here is "miçpâr," an arithmetical term for number or enumeration. 

Regarding the term "hosts," Albert Barnes notes: "The word here alludes to the fact that the heavenly bodies seem to be marshalled, or regularly arrayed as an array; that they keep their place, preserve their order, and are apparently led on from the east to the west, like a vast army under a mighty leader…" (Barnes et al., 2005) 

Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines the noun form of

the word "array" as "a number of mathematical elements arranged in rows and columns." 

Therefore, according to the prophet Isaiah, the application of an array of numbers to the Genesis creation account is not artificial. Additionally, four verses earlier, the prophet writes in Isaiah 40:22: "It is he that sits on the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:" 

Many readers mistake this term "circle of the Earth" as evidence of the Bible's foretelling that Earth is round, but "circle" in this passage is the same Hebrew word translated "compass" in Prov 8:27 and "circuit" in Job 22:14. 

It implies that this Hebrew word "chûg" in Creation's context is more descriptive of the Earth's orbit and spin, rather than its shape (Herbert and Johnson, 2018). 

This Biblical evidence gives weight and credibility to our mathematical idea of six days being six rotations / logarithmic." DereklMarshall

What men say of the Sabbath vs. what God says

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: 

Exodus 20:10

"Some call the day of Christ’s resurrection the first day of the week;

others call it the day of the sun, and the eighth day; and a larger number call it the Lord’s day, but there are no examples of this application till the close of the second century. 

--Some enjoin the observance of both the Sabbath and the first day,

--while others treat the seventh day as despicable."

Creation Moment 6/12/2025 - Conservation of information

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! 

Psalm 139:14 NLT

"Dembski opens with a simple illustration: someone searches for a hidden Easter egg, guided by clues like “warmer” or “colder.” 

These clues help, but Dembski asks: Where did the guide get the information? Finding the right instructions is just as hard — sometimes harder — than the original search.

This idea is called the conservation of information: you can’t

magically reduce the difficulty of a problem by adding guidance, because the guidance itself must come from somewhere. In mathematical terms, you never get something from nothing. Any system that solves a complex problem must contain, or have access.

Dembski uses this principle to challenge Darwinian evolution. Conventional claims about evolution, he argues, assume that natural processes can produce complex life from simple beginnings without an intelligent source. But this assumption violates conservation of information, because the complexity requires prior information.

He critiques a common description of evolution, the familiar claim that monkeys at typewriters could eventually accidentally produce the works of Shakespeare by chance — with the help of a correcting agent (a lab technician who uses White-Out).ess to, the information needed to solve it.
That lab tech, Dembski says, already knows the target outcome and introduces outside knowledge. Without that external input, random mutation and natural selection alone are insufficient to explain biological complexity.

Dembski is skeptical of AGI — the idea that machines will someday think and reason like humans. He argues that it is a myth. While machines can perform specific tasks using massive amounts of data, humans achieve much more with much less.
For example, Tesla’s AI uses billions of video frames to learn driving, but people learn to drive with far less input. This shows human intelligence is fundamentally different, and probably unmatchable by machines."
