10 Reasons to Stay Away from the Book of Enoch

1. It Was Not Written by Enoch: The most immediate problem with the Book of Enoch is that Enoch did not write it. This is not a minor academic footnote. If the book claims to be Enoch’s revelation but is demonstrably not from Enoch, then the very foundation of its

authority collapses. A river cannot rise above its source. A book cannot carry divine weight it borrowed from a name it has no right to claim. 

2. It Was Rejected from the Canon — Deliberately: The early church did not suppress the Book of Enoch by accident. It rejected it by examination. The councils that shaped the canon had access to it and set it aside. 

3. It Contradicts the Biblical Portrait of Angels: One of the most theologically dangerous claims in the Book of Enoch is its depiction of angels as sexual beings who marry and father children with human women. This directly contradicts the testimony of Christ. In Matthew 22:30, our Lord states plainly: “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” 

Some defenders of the Enochian narrative argue that Jesus’ qualifier “in heaven” leaves room for the Watchers, who had allegedly left heaven. But this reading forces the text to carry more than it says. Jesus is speaking to the nature of angels as a class of beings. The entire Biblical portrait of angels, from Genesis through Revelation, presents them as servants and messengers. There is no Biblical text that presents sexual reproduction as within the nature of angelic beings. The Book of Enoch’s cosmology is not a deeper revelation of Genesis 6. It is a contradiction of the consistent testimony of Scripture about what angels are. 

4. It Produces a Corrupted View of Salvation in Its Readers: The Book of Enoch consistently elevates esoteric, revealed knowledge — secrets about angels, cosmic hierarchies, and hidden divine mysteries

— as the centrepiece of spiritual life. In practice, that framework corrupts how people approach salvation. The cross recedes. What moves forward is the feeling that knowing the right information, the hidden things the church does not teach, is what marks the truly enlightened believer. That is not the Gospel. The New Testament is unambiguous: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is not unlocked by special revelation. 

5. Its End-Times Prophecies Conflict with Scripture: Daniel and Revelation are the twin pillars of Biblical eschatology. Their imagery, while sometimes complex, is internally consistent and mutually reinforcing. The Book of Enoch presents a competing apocalyptic framework with different timelines, different outcomes, and different roles for key figures that cannot be harmonized with the canonical text. 

6. It Contains Factual and Historical Errors: A divinely inspired text does not contradict established history or the internal chronology of Scripture. The Book of Enoch does both. Scholars who have studied the text carefully note geographical descriptions that do not correspond to the actual landscape of the ancient Near East, astronomical claims that reflect Babylonian and Hellenistic science rather than divine revelation, and timeline inconsistencies with the Biblical flood narrative. These are not the fingerprints of a God who cannot lie (Titus 1:2). 

7. Its Authorship Is Fragmented and Uncertain: The Book of Enoch is not one voice. It is many voices across many centuries, and they do not always agree with each other. Unlike the canonical books, which carry clear marks of authorial identity, internal coherence, and divine purpose even across multiple human authors, the sections of the Book of Enoch reflect different theological emphases, different attitudes toward the Law, and different eschatological expectations. The Book of Parables, for example, is widely believed by scholars to have been written significantly later than the other sections. This fragmentation is not a mark of divine authorship. 

8. It Misrepresents Biblical Figures: The Book of Enoch does not merely expand on Biblical characters. It transforms them into figures that Scripture itself does not recognize. The Biblical Enoch walked with God. Full stop. The Enoch of the apocryphal book becomes a cosmic mediator, a scribe of heavenly secrets, an intercessor before the divine throne on behalf of fallen angels. None of this is supported by Genesis, Hebrews, or Jude. 

9. It Has Become a Gateway to Speculative and Harmful Teaching: In practice, the Book of Enoch is rarely encountered in isolation. It comes packaged with a larger movement of speculative theology that pulls believers away from the simplicity of Christ.

Those who emphasize the Book of Enoch heavily tend also to emphasize fallen angel bloodlines, Nephilim genetics, secret knowledge withheld by institutional Christianity, and a range of conspiracy-adjacent interpretations of history and prophecy. The fruit of this teaching is not greater devotion to Christ, greater holiness, greater love for the brethren, or greater zeal for souls. It is usually greater obsession with angels, demons, hidden history, and the feeling of belonging to an enlightened remnant who know what the ordinary church has missed. 

10. The Canon Is Complete and God Intends It That Way: The most foundational reason to stay away from the Book of Enoch is also the simplest: God has given us everything we need in His Word, and He said so. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  

[from Evergrowing Christians]

Why did Jesus pray if He is God?

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Matthew 6:9
"Jesus, as part of the Holy Trinity, is indeed God. Yet, when He took

on human form in the incarnation, He fully embraced humanity, which included a dependency on communication with the Father. 

His prayers exemplify His reliance on the Father and the Holy Spirit. By praying, Jesus showed His followers an example of a proper relationship with God, one that is based on communication, submission, and dependence."

Creation Moment 7/19/2026 - The “obstetrical dilemma”

He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isaiah 42:5

"For over half a century, the public has been treated to a confident textbook narrative regarding human childbirth. It is called the “obstetrical dilemma.” When our evolutionary ancestors adopted the upright posture, natural selection narrowed the pelvis to accommodate bipedal locomotion. Later, as brains expanded, the human birth canal became a hazardous, agonizing bottleneck, saddling human mothers with a uniquely clumsy – and dangerous – evolutionary compromise, while our non-human primate cousins allegedly enjoyed spacious, effortless deliveries.

This neat little parable has been used to explain everything from the helplessness of human infants to the evolution of social midwifery (e.g., by Lucy Hyde). 

There is just one problem.

The narrative was built on a circular, human-centric illusion.

Comparative primate analysis shows that humans are not unique in having a tight cephalopelvic fit at birth (Nature Ecology & Evolution, 29 June 2026).
According to the study by researchers at University College London (UCL), the foundational data supporting this textbook dogma was fundamentally flawed.

"Human childbirth is regarded as uniquely difficult among primates, due to a tight cephalopelvic fit thought to result from an evolutionary trade-off between adaptations to bipedal locomotion and increasing brain size. This impression, however, may be an artefact of past adoption of anthropocentric measurements that underestimate birth challenges in non-human primates."

For nearly eighty years, comparative anthropologists inherited a measurement convention that treated non-human primates as though their pelvic anatomy followed the same obstetric geometry as humans.

The myth of the carefree primate birth traces back to the 1940s, when primatologist Adolph H. Schultz published comparative investigations estimating the fit of a newborn head into the maternal birth canal. As the authors of the UCL study note:

"This interpretation, and in particular the widely reproduced figure, was highly influential on subsequent work, effectively defining

anthropological conceptualization of birth across primates, and reinforcing traditional assumptions that (1) human childbirth is uniquely difficult due to a tight cephalopelvic fit and a distinct pelvic canal shape, and (2) other primates face little to no birth obstruction… Later studies, accepting these assumptions without re-examination, sought to identify the evolutionary and anatomical factors that make human parturition particularly challenging."

But the UCL research team, led by Drs. Nicole Torres-Tamayo and Lia Betti, decided to actually look at the raw data using modern 3D skeletal modeling across 29 primate species.
What they found completely dismantles Schultz’s historical narrative.
Schultz committed a human-centric measurement error. In human anatomy, the tightest part of the birth canal is measured from the top ridge of the sacrum to the pubic bone. Schultz applied these same human landmarks to other primates. However, a monkey’s sacrum sits much higher relative to its pelvis. By using human points, Schultz drew a fictional, tilted plane that completely missed the actual skeletal bottleneck. As the authors write:

"In non-human primates, the sacrum is positioned higher relative to the pubis … By applying standard human obstetric measurements to non-human primate anatomy, pelvic inlets are treated as idealized, generic ovals… misrepresenting cephalopelvic relationships in non-human primates and providing an unreliable basis for understanding the apparent uniqueness in human childbirth."

When the UCL team mapped the true rigid skeletal ring, non-human primate birth canals instantly shrank by an average of 11%, reaching more than an 18% reduction in some species.
Furthermore, evolutionary models assumed all primates are born like humans, crown-first. In reality, primates with pronounced snouts, like baboons and squirrel monkeys, almost always deliver face-first, with their necks fully extended. This changes the geometric orientation entirely, making the head height, rather than head length, the critical measurement."

Question to Ponder

"If Christ came to look for fruit in your life today, right now, 

Q: what would He actually find?

--Be honest.
--Look past what you hope He would find and past what you intend to produce someday.
What is genuinely there when He comes close enough to look?"
EC
Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry.  And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you ever again. Immediately the fig tree withered away. Matthew 21:17,19

Creation Moment 7/18/2026 - Two points to consider

"When most people think of evolution, they view it as an explanation for how life and the universe came about. But the evolutionary story

is also an attempt to explain our future. You see, if the slow and gradual processes of the present can be extrapolated back into the unobserved past to figure out what must’ve happened then, they can also be extrapolated into the future to figure out what will supposedly happen to life and universe.

And in the evolutionary worldview, the future is pretty bleak:

"Scientists have long estimated that in about 5 billion years, the sun will run out of fuel, first expanding into a red giant and eventually becoming a white dwarf that will continue cooling for tens—if not hundreds—of billions of years. Amid this dramatic sequence of cosmic events, the fate of Earth remains uncertain.

Will it be pulled into the expanding red sun and disappear forever? Or, though long since rendered uninhabitable, will it continue orbiting the white dwarf remnant of the Sun until the universe reaches its eventual heat death?"

Apparently, most scientists favor the first scenario: The sun “eats” the earth. Of course, by the time anything like this supposedly happens (an alleged two billion years from now), evolutionists believe humans and all other life will be long extinct, so there would be nothing around, in their own worldview, to observe whatever happens to the earth.

But there’s another assumption that’s the foundation of these kinds of studies: There is no Creator God who controls the universe. We don’t have to wonder about how the earth will end; God has already told us that it will end when He returns in judgment to judge earth with fire before creating a new heavens and a new earth. Earth won’t be swallowed by the sun—it will be destroyed by God when He judges mankind’s sin.

Two points to consider:

1- From an evolutionist’s perspective, all life becomes extinct, so ultimately no one will ever know they existed. So what’s the point of fighting creationists, and ultimately, what’s the point of anything in this ultimately meaningless existence?
2- Isn’t it interesting that those Christians/Christian leaders who compromise God’s Word in Genesis with evolution concerning the past then go to the Bible to say what will happen in the future. They are totally inconsistent. They accept what the naturalistic evolutionists say about the past but reject what they say about the future and turn to God’s Word instead. So inconsistent!
Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created. Revelation 4:11."

The Mine of Truth

For Thou wilt light my candle:

 the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

Psalm 18:28

"There are treasures in the word of God that can be discovered only by sinking the shaft deep into the mine of truth.

The carnal mind rejects the truth; but the soul that is converted undergoes a marvelous change. 

The book that before was unattractive because it revealed truths which testified against the sinner, now becomes the food of the soul, the joy and consolation of the life. 

*The Sun of righteousness illuminates the sacred pages, 

*and the Holy Spirit speaks through them to the soul." 

E.G.W.

Creation Moment 7/17/2026 - Multiverse Theory & pleonastic fallacy

... but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

"Multiverse Theory: our universe is just a blip in a vast sea of universes. It happens to appear designed but most of the others — if we ever had a chance to observe them — do not.

What they are doing is called the pleonastic fallacy —trying to explain a difference in kind by a difference in number. They account for the laws of nature in our universe by simply hypothesizing that there are 25 trillion trillion universes that all have different laws. And we just happen to be stuck in one of them. The word “universe” means everything. So the multiverse theorists are claiming that everything that exists is an infinite ensemble of everythings. 

And that is not a coherent statement.
*But they haven’t explained the main issue — why are there any laws at all?" 

Engor

Christ ministers the keeping of the Law

"By faith in Him the righteousness of the law is met in us. 

And we do not make void, 

but we establish, the law of God, 

by faith in Christ. 

*In other words, in Christ is found the keeping of the law of God. 

This is shown again in Galatians 2:17: “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.” 

*To be found sinners, is to be found transgressors of the law; for “sin is the transgression of the law.” 

--Then since the Lord has set His everlasting “God forbid” against any suggestion that Christ is the minister of the transgression of the law, it follows as certainly that Christ ministers the keeping of the law." 

A.T. Jones

Creation Moment 7/16/2026 - Easy Answer for XLSSC 122

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:3

"Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted a massive and densely packed galaxy cluster at "cosmic noon." The fact that this cluster is so highly evolved could change theories of cosmic evolution, as it seems to exist before such structures were thought to be possible.
Designated XLSSC 122  it resembled the galactic clusters found much closer to our own galaxy. 

*However, this cluster is seen as it was around 10.4 billion years, just

around 3.4 billion years after the Big Bang, a time when such structures were theorized to have only just begun to assemble.

Light normally travels in a straight line, but spacetime is the track that it follows. If spacetime is curved, then the path of light is also curved. The closer that light travels to an object of great mass, the more its path swerves.
That means when an object of great mass, in this case XLSSC 122, comes between Earth and a more distant light source, light from that background source arrives at our telescopes at different times based on the path it took around the intermediate object." 

msn

--EASY ANSWER: It seems to exist before such structures could is because, well, it is not that old and was CREATED as is. Your timeline is WRONG.

Prophecy is history in advance

"Daniel 12:4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 

--THE time of the end noted in the text is not the end itself. 

--It is evidently a period of time just prior to the end.

*In the time of the end many were to run to and fro, and knowledge upon the grand subject before the prophet’s mind, was to be increased. The words of the book, named in the text, are undoubtedly the prophecy of Daniel, the several chains of which reach down to the close of all earthly kingdoms at the second coming of Christ. ...shut up the words, and seal the book. 

*Prophecy is history in advance." 

James White

Creation Moment 7/15/2026 - 7 Colors

"As God invented everything that enables a rainbow to exist, God obviously owns the rainbow.
You can break up white light into its rainbow of colors using a prism to disperse the light rays. 

So the rainbow is actually a result of the properties of light (refraction and dispersion) that God created on day one of creation week, when he said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). 

He obviously created the entire electromagnetic spectrum, of which visible light is just a part. 

Now our eyes are designed to see seven colors with specific wavelengths divided out of visible light—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. 

Of course, there are many other visible colors made by mixing various combinations of these colors—such as pink, which can be made with the right mix of red and blue wavelengths. And if we consider all frequencies, there are as many colors (invisible to us) as the stars in the universe. But the true rainbow has seven colors. God invented the rainbow." 

Ken Ham

The only Sabbatic institution

"Genesis 2:3 God BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT. 

In this consists the Sabbatic institution itself. 

*As God has never taken this blessing from the seventh day, the original institution still exists. 

*As God has never sanctified another day of the week, it is the only Sabbatic institution." 

J.N. Andrews

Creation Moment 7/14/2026 - Origin of this "asymmetry"

"An astonishing discovery comes from the outer reaches of the Solar System: Pluto and Titan, two very different celestial bodies, both display an absorption line never before observed. The James Webb Space Telescope detected this signature at 5.11 micrometers, a

wavelength that does not correspond to any known chemical compound elsewhere. This observation indicates that a yet-unidentified molecule exists on the surface of these two bodies.

By observing Pluto and Titan, scientists highlighted an absorption line at 5.11 micrometers. No previous publication mentions a similar line, whether for other planets in the Solar System or for exoplanets. The researchers therefore believe that this signature comes from an unknown molecule, present only on these two icy bodies.

It is remarkable that Pluto and Titan have very little in common. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has rivers and oceans of liquid methane on its surface, and is larger than Mercury. Pluto, on the other hand, is a frozen dwarf planet, twice as small as Titan and four times farther from the Sun. Yet the two worlds share atmospheres rich in nitrogen and methane. But this unknown molecule appears to be located on their surfaces, not in their atmospheres.

On Pluto, the absorption line is about three times stronger than on Titan, indicating a higher concentration. On Titan, the distribution is uneven: the trailing hemisphere (the one opposite the direction of rotation around Saturn) shows stronger absorption than the leading hemisphere. This asymmetry intrigues researchers, who are working to understand its origin."

Origin of this "asymmetry"----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

Luke's Detailed History

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

Luke 3:1,2

The debate over the AD 31 date for the crucifixion, and therefore for dates of the prophetic timeline in Daniel's prophecies, is solid. 

Add 3 and half years of Christ's ministry following His baptism in AD 27 you end up in D 31. 

"Tiberius came to the throne in 12 AD. 

He was a co-ruler with Augustus Caesar from 12 AD. So if you add

15 years to 12, you get AD 27 as and this chapter here is dealing with the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.

But if you happen to be living in Judea, this happened when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea. 

And if you happen to be living in in um Galilee, it's when Herod was the tetrarch.
Philillip was the tetrarch  over the river Jordan and Trachonitis. 

And if you happen living in the Abalene area is when Lysanius was the tetrarch there. 

And it's when Annus and Caiaphas were high priests and the word of God came to John son of Zacharas. 

If you're in the Levitical families you will have known when this happened as well. 

So Luke is giving us all these historical characters. 

So if you're a Roman in Rome, if you are living in Galilee, if you're living in Judea, if you're living beyond the Jordan, if you're living in
Jerusalem, and if you're in the Levitical families, you have a point of reference in these two verses. 

What Luke is making sure is that nobody can dispute that Jesus of Nazareth was baptized in AD 27. That's the point of all this history." Conrad Vine

Creation Moment 7/13/2026 - Modern Science

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Hebrews 13:8 

"Modern science has brought tremendous benefits to human life,

ranging from wonder-working medicines to the personal computer on which I am writing this preface.

But science is not God. It has not perfected human nature nor has it curbed the human abuse of power. 

Like every human enterprise, science is partial, corruptible, and prone to error, and it needs to be subject to the checks and balances of a free society and the moral law." 

John West, Darwin Day in America, preface

Theology that keeps Changing those Goalposts

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. Deuteronomy 12:8

“Grace without the clear and authoritative truth of Scripture is deadly. The goalposts change. 

We lose the revelation of God’s will for our humanity. 

We are left instead to construct an identity based upon our experience of reality. ‘I feel gay; therefore, I am gay; therefore, God blesses my gayness.’ 

Man-centeredness inevitably leads to a form of sin-centeredness."

The wisdom from above IDENTIFIED

But the wisdom that is from above is 

--first pure, "....without mixture of maxims or aims that would debase it: and it is free from iniquity and defilements, not allowing of any known sin..."

--then peaceable,  "Peace follows purity, and depends upon it."

--gentle, "not being rude and overbearing in conversation, nor harsh and cruel in temper."

--and easy to be intreated, "...it is very persuadable, either to what is good or from what is evil."

--full of mercy "...inwardly disposed to every thing that is kind ..."

--and good fruits, "..do good, both to relieve those who want and to forgive those who offend,.."

--without partiality,  "The original word, adiakritos, signifies to be without suspicion, or free from judging, making no undue surmises nor differences in our conduct towards one person more than another. The margin reads it, without wrangling, not acting the part of sectaries, and disputing merely for the sake of a party; nor censuring others purely on account of their differing from us."

--and without hypocrisy. "It has no disguises nor deceits. It cannot fall in with those managements which the world counts wise, which are crafty and guileful; but it is sincere and open, steady and uniform, and consistent with itself."

James 3:17/Matthew Henry

A word about books (by extension - Movies, TV, etc.)

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15

"The nature of one’s religious experience is revealed by the character of the books one chooses to read in one’s leisure moments. 

In order to have a healthy tone of mind and sound religious principles, the youth must live in communion with God through His word. Pointing out the way of salvation through Christ, the Bible is our guide to a higher, better life. 

It contains the most interesting and the most instructive history and biography that were ever written. Those whose imagination has not become perverted by the reading of fiction will find the Bible the most interesting of books."

Creation Moment 7/12/2026 - Dear Evolutionists: Where are Your Aliens?

...but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

"If evolution were indeed true, we would expect it to have occurred throughout the universe from multiple angles where environments were suitable, with many different routes toward the culmination of intelligent life.

There is no reason, depending as evolution must on billions of randomly fortuitous chemical reactions, that we should find only one

style of intelligent life (human beings). The different imaginations of intelligent life, such as found in the science fiction of Star Wars, should be evident all around us. Our cantinas should be like the one dramatized through Star Wars’ Mos Eisley Space Port, featuring, amongst other space aliens, the music-playing Biths.

Such a potpourri of intelligent life, at different levels, evolving through different chemistry along different paths, should be standard fare if evolution were true.

Yet so far, nothing! We seem to be the one special creation in the physical universe, just as the Bible tells us. There is one Creator God, who created life with similar building blocks." 

CM

Those ancient saints

 Called to be saints. Romans 1:7

"WE are very apt to regard the apostolic saints as if they were "saints" in a more especial manner than the other children of God. All are "saints" whom God has called by His grace, and sanctified by His Spirit; but we are apt to look upon the apostles as extraordinary beings, scarcely subject to the same weaknesses and temptations as ourselves. 

--Yet in so doing we are forgetful of this truth, that the nearer a man lives to God the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart; 

--and the more his Master honors him in His service, the more also doth the evil of the flesh vex and tease him day by day. 

The fact is, if we had seen the apostle Paul, we should have thought him remarkably like the rest of the chosen family: and if we had talked with him, we should have said, "We find that his experience and ours are much the same. He is more faithful, more holy, and more deeply taught than we are, but he has the selfsame trials to endure. Nay, in some respects he is more sorely tried than ourselves." *Do not, then, look upon the ancient saints as being exempt either

from infirmities or sins; 

*and do not regard them with that mystic reverence which will almost make us idolators. Their holiness is attainable even by us. We are "called to be saints" by that same voice which constrained them to their high vocation. 

*We have the same light that they had, the same grace is accessible to us. They lived with Jesus, they lived for Jesus, therefore they grew like Jesus. Let us live by the same Spirit as they did."

Creation Moment 7/11/2026 - Allow me to add a 3rd scenario to the list for (612533) 2002 XV93

"A tiny icy object orbiting beyond Neptune has surprised astronomers by displaying an atmosphere that, according to current theories, should not exist.

The object, officially designated (612533) 2002 XV93, belongs to a class of distant bodies known as trans-Neptunian objects, located in

the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. More specifically, it is classified as a plutino, sharing the same 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune as Pluto. Measuring only about 310 miles across, it is far smaller than Pluto, making the discovery especially unexpected.

What makes the discovery especially puzzling is that previous observations by the James Webb Space Telescope found no evidence that 2002 XV93 possesses surface deposits of nitrogen, methane, or carbon monoxide ice, the same volatile materials that generate Pluto’s atmosphere when warmed by sunlight. Temperatures on the object, estimated between 40 and 50 degrees above absolute zero, are also far too low for water ice or carbon dioxide ice to vaporize naturally.

The research, published in Nature Astronomy, therefore presents scientists with a genuine mystery. Existing models struggle to explain how such a small, cold object could sustain even a temporary atmosphere under these extreme conditions.

Researchers currently propose two leading scenarios, although neither fully explains the observations.
The first possibility is that a relatively recent impact from a comet-

like object released gas into space, temporarily creating the observed atmosphere. This explanation comes with a major challenge. Because the object’s gravity is so weak, any gases escaping into space would disappear within roughly a thousand years. On astronomical timescales, that represents an incredibly brief period, implying astronomers would have observed the object during a remarkably fortunate moment.
The second hypothesis involves cryovolcanism, sometimes described as ice volcanism. Instead of molten rock, underground reservoirs of frozen volatile materials could occasionally erupt, replenishing the atmosphere from beneath the surface. Scientists do not yet know what internal energy source could power such activity on a body this small and cold, leaving the mechanism unresolved.

As the researchers explained,
“This discovery suggests that the traditional idea that global dense atmospheres form only around larger planets must be revised,” said Arimatsu’s team in their research paper.
That statement reflects how significantly this observation could reshape current thinking about atmospheric formation in the outer Solar System." msn

Allow me to add a 3rd "scenario" to the list for (612533) 2002 XV93: That is that it is young, only a few thousand years old, created as is, for a reason these men do not yet understand. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.... Hebrews 11:3

Real takeaway from the Fig Tree Parable

Having a form of godliness but denying its power. 

2 Timothy 3:5

"The doom of the fruitless fig tree has an application to individual professors 

--who manifest the natural tendencies of the unrenewed heart, 

--and contradict their faith by their daily life. 

*They do not represent to the world the character of Christ, 

*because they have not Christ in them."

Creation Moment 7/10/2026 - Key verse for 18th century astronomers

"Keas elaborates:
“In seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English astronomy

literature, I find no indication that the increasingly larger estimates of cosmic dimensions became grounds for debilitating doubts about human significance. 

In fact, one of the most quoted Biblical passages in eighteenth-century astronomy literature is Psalm 8:3–5 [When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.] ” (p. 18)." CMI

Why 536 A.D. instead of 538 A.D.?

Since the 1260 days (years) prophecy began in 538 A.D. of Papal supremacy, then why would 536 A.D. be the worst year to be alive
due to natural disasters?

Well the edict that placed the Pope as head of all Christendom was issued in 536 A.D. by Emperor Justinian. 

But the Pope was held up for over 2 years in Rome trapped by the Ostrogoths.

It was not until 538 A.D. that General Belisarius relieved the siege of Rome and informed the Pope of his new status and gave him the edict.

Q: So was all this that befell the earth in 536 A.D. a sign from God of the DARKNESS about to befall the earth or just a coincidence?
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25

 "In the year 536, daylight itself went away.
Across Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia, people looked up and saw a sun that gave little warmth and cast a strange, weak light. Summer brought snow in China. Crops failed virtually everywhere, spreading hunger worse than any plague. Then, only a few years

later, an actual plague arrived to top things off. We know from written sources that there were serious drops in temperature, both in Europe and in China. For historians and climate scientists, 536 has become a leading candidate for the worst year to be alive.
The fabled year 536 AD was in the middle of a literal Dark Age.

Byzantine historian Procopius, writing from Constantinople, described the world around the year 536 in which “the sun gave forth its light without brightness, like the moon, during the whole year.” The Roman statesman Cassiodorus later wrote that “the sun seems to have lost its wonted light and appears a bluish color.”

Irish chronicles recorded “a failure of bread from the years 536–539.
“There’s a kind of feedback loop in the problems … Once you get one sort of catastrophe in the pre-modern world, it often leads to other

ones,” Dr. Pattenden said.

Then came the plague.
The damage was enormous and the economy across Europe and large parts of Asia was likely in a ruinous state.
“To put it in some perspective, if you were a carefree 18-year-old in the summer of 535, you’d probably have to live between 80 and 100 years to get back to conditions that were similar to what you’d remember from being a child,” said Pattenden."

Creation Moment 7/9/2026 - Hox genes: the “smoking gun” of common design?

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,

as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 

Psalm 139:15 NLT

"Genes with regulatory and developmental functions responsible for core basic-design patterns in developing embryos are called Hox genes (a contraction of longer descriptive words, homeotic and homeobox). This astounding finding was so opposite to the evolutionists’ notions that it clearly constitutes a spectacular blunder on their part. Evolutionary developmental biologist Sean Carroll describes the implications of the stunning details:

"When the sequence of these homeoboxes were examined in detail, the similarities among species were astounding. Over the 60 amino acids of the homeodomain, some mice and frog proteins were identical to the fly sequences at up to 59 out of 60 positions. Such

sequence similarity was just stunning. The evolutionary lines that led to flies and mice diverged more than 500 million years ago, before the famous Cambrian Explosion that gave rise to most animal types. No biologist had even the foggiest notion that such similarities could exist between genes of such different animals. The Hox genes were so important that their sequences had been preserved throughout this enormous span of animal evolution.

The discovery that the same sets of genes control the formation and pattern of body regions and body parts with similar functions (but very different designs) in insects, vertebrates, and other animals has forced a complete rethinking of animal history, the origins of structures, and the nature of diversity. Comparative and evolutionary biologists had long assumed that different groups of animals, separated by vast amounts of evolutionary time, were constructed and had evolved by entirely different means."

Q: Could it be that Hox genes are the “smoking gun” of common design expected by supporters of intelligent design for decades?

Consider this—if engineers were tasked to investigate for common design in any other area, how would they proceed? 

They would study various sets of plans and specifications, identify any common features, and verify if there was, in fact, common underlying information. 

Genetic research has identified this common information across diverse groups of organisms prescribing traits with the same general function. In other areas of research, this fact would be ascribed to common engineering instructions.

Evolutionary theory predicted the complete opposite of common underlying information for similar traits. The fact that it was dogmatically taught as evidence for evolution and later found to be profoundly wrong catalogs it as a spectacular blunder and makes its teaching misguided at best.

This repressed prediction-evidence mismatch is connected to ever-changing evolutionary explanations like “convergence” or “conservation/common ancestry.” These come across scientifically as a mishmash of improvised, after-the-fact stories aimed at forcing observations into an evolutionary paradigm.

Creationists can say with credibility that in creatures as diverse as bacteria, insects, and humans the same genetic information controls the formation and utilization of many key anatomical or molecular structures observed to be performing broadly similar functions.

Applying organism-focused, design-based analysis to biological phenomena brings great clarity to our understanding of life. A compelling case is made that these are clearly the common designs creationists have been looking for the last 200 years." ICR
