Our first prayer....

Praying always. Ephesians 6:18

"WHAT multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. 

Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. 

He heard us. 

But when He had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable

-- application of the promise, 

--for deliverance in the hour of temptation, 

--for help in the time of duty, 

--and for succour in the day of trial. 

We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant

beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. 

All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock—Christ Jesus the Lord. 

Your wants were innumerable,---He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonored Him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat. Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus graciously heard your poor weak prayers."

Creation Moment 2/7/2026 - Evolution’s Influence in the Courts

They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. Job 24:13

"When mankind began to adopt the theory of evolution in the nineteenth century, jurists and other legal intellectuals began to

subscribe to a view that law is a mere byproduct of human will and social struggle – “survival of the fittest”. 

Previous to Charles Darwin the dominant view in Western legal tradition was that human laws are subject to higher law, to natural law, to God’s law – a fixed standard. And this, through the Bible and through such sources as Blackstone’s Legal Commentary, was the worldview which framed the American Constitution.
There is no basis in the Constitution for so-called “legislating from the Bench” – for activist judges.
Under the influence of evolutionism and its off-shoot Social Darwinism, a powerful transformation of legal studies took place in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Western Civilization – just as occurred in science. And it occurred for the same reason. 

Man’s depravity, his will to sin and rebel against his Maker, drives a resistance to God’s rule – and to the very existence of our Almighty Creator."

That BIG OBJECTION to Tithing

"THERE remains yet one objection to the tithing plan, that demands a brief notice: the matter of tithing is not spoken of directly by any of the apostles, nor are any of the churches enjoined by them to pay tithe. 

The New Testament Example 

But the man who thinks to escape the payment of tithes by such a plea as this has overreached himself; for: 

1. Christ taught it, as has been shown in the comment on Matthew

23:23. That alone would be sufficient. 

2. The commandment to pay tithe having been once made by God Himself, it would remain in force, forever, if not countermanded, and the reason for its continuance existed as in the beginning. Therefore if there was no mention made of it in the entire New Testament, it would not affect the case in the least.

3. And, strongest of all, the teaching of the apostles, and of Christ Himself, if strictly followed, would lead to the sacrifice, not merely of a tithe, but of all our possessions! 

Let us read and see. Paul, writing to the Corinthians, says, 1 Corinthians 6 19 ...you are not your own; 20 For you are bought with a price... We are, as a literal translation of Philippians 1:1 would read, “the slaves of Jesus Christ.”

Our servitude, however, is a blessed one, for His yoke is easy, and His burden light. But a slave can not hold property in his own right; all that he may acquire be longs to his master. Therefore since we are Christ’s by purchase, all that we have belongs to Him.

When the young man came to Him inquiring the way to life eternal, Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven; and come and follow Me. 

We do not wish to be understood as advising all indiscriminately to sell their property. We are to be guided by sanctified reason, and not by fanaticism. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season;–and if we stand at the counsel of God, we shall know when the time comes for us to part with our possessions."

Creation Moment 2/6/2026 - Cells Contain Battery Droplets

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Revelation 3:14

"Cells are not simple like Darwin thought. The amount of organization inside a cell continues to astonish scientists.

These “membraneless organelles” or “droplets”, formed during natural phase changes, bring together molecular building blocks with their enzymes and RNA codes, facilitating the construction of complex molecules for life. Now, a research team at Washington University at St. Louis has discovered another wonder about these condensates: their boundaries are electric!

Tapping the engines of cellular electrochemistry and forces of evolution (23 Jan 2026, Washington University at St. Louis). Reporter Leah Shaffer speaks of condensates as “constantly shifting, membrane-less organelles that govern how a cell functions.” They are aided by phase changes in “intrinsically disordered proteins” that used to be thought of as mistakes or junk. No; they have important functions. Professor Rohit Pappu and his colleague Yifan Dai discovered that electrical voltages play key roles in the formation of condensates.

"In the new research, Dai outlines how condensates can act as

“battery droplets.” Inside a battery, the real action happens at the interface — the thin boundary where the electrode and electrolytes touch. An “interfacial” electric field drives chemical reactions within a cell in a similar manner, converting chemical energy to electrical energy."

This electrical energy is measurable. The researchers believe they could even tap into this miniature power source to design therapeutic molecules and other useful things.

"Dai’s team demonstrated that microscale “engines” can drive a bit of alchemy, producing gold and copper nanoparticles directly in living cells. Such “biohybrid” devices could be used to degrade pollution in wastewater. Further, through the same protein materials, they show how the redox reactions can be exploited to kill bacteria without using antibiotics, which could lead to many new medical devices to improve human health."

The press release tells how these “microscale engines” work like “soft battery droplets” that store and release electrochemical energy on demand, “giving synthetic biologists a dynamic new way to power signals and reactions” according to Dr Dai.

Q: What’s Evolution Got to Do With It?
---Try as they might to insert “evolution” into the story, they commit the logical fallacy of equivocation. They use the term “directed evolution” as a means of steering these soft battery droplets for human use. What they are really doing is applying intelligent design. They have foresight and a goal.

“We designed the evolution-based assay and selection strategies to connect cellular survival and the behaviors of the disordered proteins, then put them into different temperatures or other selective pressures, and let it go,” Dai said. “We let nature do the work to give us a sequence that can behave and let them survive.”

“Directed evolution” is a contradiction in terms. 

Picking out the most useful products from searches through natural phenomena is characteristic of intelligence, not mindless evolution. They are steering the molecules at every step. Only a mind can pick out a sequence in a random distribution and decide that it meets the criteria for a human need or desired technology. Darwin has nothing to say about this."

The process of death

"The process of death is the reversal of creation: 

Ecclesiastes 12:7: “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.” 

The spirit or breath of life leaves the body. 

The body and all its organs and systems cease to function. 

The body returns to dust. 

The brain no longer processes information that comes into it through the five senses and thus the writing of the biographical record ends.

This is how the Bible describes the condition of man in death: Psalm 146:3-4: “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.”

A Great Doctrine Revived by William Miller

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:2

"The doctrine of the resurrection was almost obliterated from the pulpit theology of the age. 

Yes, the great doctrine, on which rests the whole Christian fabric, was well-nigh abandoned to the enemy. 

How seldom was it heard from the pulpit, that, 

---as truly as the body of Christ was raised from the grave by the power of God, 

---so surely all that are in the graves will come forth; they that have done good, at Christ's coming, 

---to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, 

---at the end of the one thousand years, to the resurrection of damnation.

The idea that God had promised, and would most certainly perform that promise, to give the earth to the meek, and that they shall inherit it forever, and reign on earth with Christ, was hardly credible with the great body of the church, until William Miller lifted up his voice and wielded his pen in defense of these thrilling and glorious truths."

IN the NEWS - Epstein and those “novel phenotypes”

....inventors of evil things.... Romans 1:30

"Jeffrey Epstein spoke with a Harvard scientist about the sexual benefits of turning children trans, in a horrifying email released on Friday as part of the latest Epstein disclosures from the Department of Justice.

In a graphic email sent to Epstein in 2018—years after Epstein had been sent to jail for soliciting sex from minors—evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers spoke at length about the creation of “novel phenotypes” through the administration of exogeneous hormones, as a means to enhance sexual pleasure. He notes that transsexuals provide “the best of both worlds.”

We have preserved the idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation of the email throughout.
“it is very simple will compare male to female with female to male with greater molecular control over development we are increasingly capable of producing novel phenotypes more feminine men, by blocking testosterone receptors (or castration) and, at the same time, increasing estrogen production the one bocks male features, the second encourages female features,” Trivers began the email.
“more masculine women-heavy testosterone dosage–incredible external effects, heavily bearded men, you would never guess they had a female bone in their body
first kind-male →> female is 4 times more frequent than female – male the first is attractive——he is a woman with a c***, so that if your fantasy is to s*** a man’s d***, otherwise you are completely heterosexual, it would be much nicer if the rest of the organism is female, then you get the best of both worlds”

Trivers continues by discussing how transsexual women are “very attractive” and “easily make money” as prostitutes.
“so many transsexual women are very attractive and easily make money which in turn they assert promotes their prostitution since they have to pay hefty fees for injections every week, but they are sexually happy.—once you have reached manhood even castration does not prevent the sensation of organism....if you like smelly masculine men, you want that hard c*** that comes with the show —you do not want one of nature’s more complex and variable structures, the pum-pum-that is an acquired tasted—-and not with a man....there are 100’s of female Trans videos and websites, i have never seen a male one”

Trivers saves the most disturbing part of the email for last. He concludes with a clear suggestion that earlier interventions to alter biological sex are now taking place, and that although he personally would be “frightened” to be involved, others might not be—and that it could be a good thing.
“BTW we are now pushing the intervention earlier–so you notice

your 3-year old son has trans tendencies, so now you intervene with hormones i would be frightened to do that-but who knows?”

The real culture war Epstein story, that none of these leftists are going to talk about or address, is that Epstein was actively talking to homosexual groomers who were pushing transgenderism and trying to push the idea of “trans children.” February 1, 2026"

Harvard-educated Trivers is famous for his work in the fields of evolutionary biology and sociobiology, pioneering ideas such as “reciprocal altruism,” “parental investment,” and “facultative sex ratio determination.”
According to his Wikipedia profile, Trivers is “among the most influential evolutionary theorists alive today.”
Steven Pinker has described him as “one of the great thinkers in the history of Western thought.”

His ties to Epstein were already well known. He received at least $40,000 in funding from Epstein, and has been a staunch defender of him, saying of his sexual assaults against underaged girls, “by the time they’re 14 or 15 they’re grown women so I don’t see the acts as so heinous.”
According to Reuters, “Trivers said Epstein is a person of integrity who should be given credit for serving time in prison and for settling civil lawsuits brought by women who said they were abused.”
He maintained his friendship with Epstein until as late as December 2019.
In 2015, he was sacked from Rutgers University, for reasons unconnected to his ties to Epstein."

Creation Moment 2/3/2026 - Lesson of the Giant Sequoias

"Q: What are the biggest trees on planet Earth? 

A: Giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum).

They grow on west-facing slopes of California’s southern Sierra Nevada mountains. Visitors to Sequoia National Park and nearby places marvel at these wooden behemoths. 

Q: Where did giant sequoias come from? 

Q: When did they land in the Sierras? 

Sequoia National Park offers three pointers to Biblical creation and the Flood.

Collaboration 

First, sequoia seeds do not release from their strangely small pine cones until the cones get hot enough. A forest fire does the trick. Second, a giant sequoia seed germinates only after it detects recently

burned ground. Fires can clear paths for suitable sunlight to reach young trees that would otherwise be overshadowed by thick growth and tall neighbors.
Sequoia bark is the third collaborating trait. These majestic mammoths produce a uniquely spongy bark layer that’s over a foot thick! The thickness and sponginess combine to provide excellent fire resistance. This is just as well since what good would it do if the fires needed for germination destroyed the very trees that were trying to reproduce?
These three aspects work in concert: cones wait for fire to release their seeds, seeds wait for charred ground to germinate, and bark protects the mother tree from the necessary fires. Someone thought this through.

Water Pumps

Just one giant sequoia transports over 500 gallons (1,890 liters) of water over 275 feet (83 meters) skyward per day.

Q: Could human engineers devise a silent pump that could push that much fluid that high for thousands of years?

University of California, Berkeley biologists studied sequoia sap flow. They wrote in 2017,

"Total relative water content at the turgor loss point (total RWCTLP) is controlled by three underlying variables: osmotic potential at full turgor, bulk tissue elastic modulus and apoplastic water fraction."

The turgor pressure loss point refers to the water pressure at which

leaf tissues begin to wilt. The “three underlying variables” are actually tactics that keep wilting at bay. The ways that tree tissues tightly manage each one clearly show creation.
Ions control “osmotic potential.” In this first tactic, cell systems pump ions into the spaces where water needs to go. Water follows the ions, passing from cell to cell up the trunk. However, this only works so far, so the other tactics kick in.
“Elastic modulus” refers to the stiffness of the tiny side walls that contain sap. Tissues higher in the tree have stiffer walls. Floppy vessel walls would collapse at the low pressures way up there, so water would not reach the leaves, spelling tree tragedy.
The last tactic concerns “apoplastic water.” This refers to water stored in separately managed small spaces. Cells can inject these water stores into the sap when pressure wanes. Giant sequoias dynamically adjust these three tactics to accommodate daily and seasonal changes in sunlight direction and intensity.
It’s all so ingenious! Geologist Bill Hoesch rightly wrote, “The sheer size of the sequoias drives us to consider them as marvels of engineering.” We confidently credit our Creator with the craftsmanship required here.

Timing

Experts count growth rings on long, thin cores extracted from the center of the trees’ trunks. Dendrochronologist Edmund Schulman counted sequoia rings, and he wondered why these trees are not older. He wrote in 1954, “Does this mean that shortly preceding 3275 years ago all the then living giant sequoias were wiped out by some catastrophe?”
---Many assume that each ring represents one year, but research has disproven this.

But even assuming one ring per year, some giant sequoias are 3,400 years old. These would have sprouted soon after the Exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt. 

Q: Does this and Schulman’s observation align with Biblical history?

Bible chronology places Noah’s Flood at about 2500 BC. Inferences from Scripture, ancient history, and Earth’s surface support a single Ice Age that lasted some centuries after the Flood. Early Ice Age years saw California’s 373-mile-long Sierra Nevada mountain range buried beneath ice.
Melting alpine glaciers later carved the wide U-shaped valleys that cascade toward today’s sequoia groves. Plants couldn’t pioneer the Sierra Nevada until this ice melted. A Bible-based Ice Age likely waned by about 3,800 years ago. No sequoia should be older than 3,800 years under this Biblical timeline. Expectation met!
Collaborative propagation traits and balanced water pump tactics clearly point to creation. And the ages of these trees match sensible inferences from the Bible’s timeline. 

Q: What did our all-wise Creator say to us through that very Bible? “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters.” (Jeremiah 17:7,8)." ICR

Analysis: Daniel 12:1,2 / Daniel 11:44b-45

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: 

and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: 

and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:1,2

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 

And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; 

yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Daniel 11:44,45

"A comparison of these two passages reveals that they are describing the same events in the same order but with a different terminology and emphasis: 

Daniel 11:44b-45: 

A. The King of the North goes out to destroy and annihilate many (11:44b) 

B. The King of the North sets up the tents of his palace in a strategic place between the sea and the glorious holy mountain 

(11:45a) 

C. The King of the North comes to his end with none to help him (11:45b) 

Daniel 12:1: 

A. Michael stands up to defend His people 

(parallel to 11:44b) 

B. A time of trouble such as never was 

(parallel to 11:45a) 

C. God’s people delivered 

(parallel to 11:45b) 

Daniel 11:44b-45 and 12:1 are precisely parallel, but they portray a different emphasis. 

Whereas Daniel 11:44b 45 highlights the activities of the king of the north and its destiny for oppressing God’s people, Daniel 12:1 focuses on the jeopardy of God’s people at the hand of the king of the north and their deliverance by God."

The DESIRES of the Heart and the 10 Commandments

“You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15). Stealing isn’t just a legal offense in the Biblical worldview; it’s a breach of trust and justice.

In the New Testament, Paul calls believers to “work with your hands whatever you do” (Ephesians 4:28), connecting earning honestly with ethical living.
The commandment reads, “You shall not covet… anything that belongs to your neighbor” (Exodus 20:17).
Coveting is an inward desire that precedes action, and Scripture highlights that Sin often begins in the heart. Jesus expands on this theme, teaching that even lustful thoughts equate spiritually to moral wrongdoing (Matthew 5:28).
So, coveting isn’t just about jealousy; it’s about the way desires shape choices and character."

SDA Issues: NOT Justified by being in the Church

Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 5:1

"Justification by faith is an individual, and not a national, matter.

Seventh-day Adventists often speak of the great light which “we as a people” possess. 

But “we as a people” will derive no benefit from that light unless we as individuals possess it in our own hearts. I repeat, justification by faith is something that each individual must experience for himself."

Creation Moment 2/2/2026 -Asymmetry With a Purpose

"Imagine if someone were to invent a planetary power grid that automatically reroutes energy across continents in real time, so that when demand surges in one region, the system instantly draws surplus from a distant region on the other part of the globe, keeping the entire planet in balance! 

Scientists have shown that a version of this revolutionary global-

scale balancing technology already exists in the form of modes of climate variability, such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

While the impacts of ENSO have already been extensively studied, this new research provides further insights into even more remarkable balances that are driven by ENSO cycles — aligning water storage totals across continents, sometimes making distant regions simultaneously wet or dry.

The researchers Rateb et al., from the University of Texas at Austin, used satellite data to show that these extremes are not isolated events, but part of a synchronized and predictable global rhythm driven by El Niño and La Niña. These rhythms shape civilizations, alter ecosystems, and test the resilience of societies. 

From a creation science perspective, these findings highlight the remarkable interconnectedness of Earth’s climate systems and reflect purposeful design.

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a climate pattern that arises from interactions between the tropical Pacific Ocean and the

atmosphere. It has two main phases: El Niño, referred to as the ‘warm phase’, which occurs when warm water accumulates in the central and eastern Pacific, weakening trade winds and shifting rainfall patterns; and La Niña, the cool phase of ENSO, which occurs when cooler-than-normal Pacific waters strengthen trade winds, producing largely opposite effects.

The findings, which complement similar studies using the GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite missions from 2002 to 2024, show a clear oscillation in total water storage (TWS) around/across the globe, that is tightly synchronized with ocean-atmosphere interactions:

“Global TWS extremes are governed by a 2–3-year oscillatory cycle linked to El Niño–Southern Oscillation, which synchronizes drought and pluvial conditions across continents.”

The measured regularity of these cycles resembles the functionality of a refrigerator’s thermostat, which switches on and off periodically to keep temperature balanced. In much the same way, ENSO-related cycles redistribute heat and water storage globally, maintaining large-scale climatic equilibrium.

Rateb et al.’s research uncovered even more complexities involved in

ENSO processes. Beyond redistributing heat resulting in contrasting conditions across the globe, the likelihood of a region becoming “wetter” or “drier” because of these ENSO events were not equal. This hydrologic asymmetry is characterized by disproportionately stronger wet events than dry events. In the authors’ words, they found that:

“Wet extremes attain roughly twice the magnitude of droughts, underscoring an intrinsic hydrologic asymmetry amplified by land–atmosphere feedback.”

This finding is significant because it reveals a deeper layer of design complexity within Earth’s climate system. ENSO is not simply a “switch” that toggles between wet and dry conditions but rather operates with built-in asymmetry that magnifies certain outcomes more than others. This implies that the system is not balanced in a simplistic, equal-and-opposite way; instead, it exhibits nonlinear responses, in which surpluses of moisture trigger stronger and more expansive feedback than deficits.

From a design perspective, this asymmetry reflects a form of intelligent calibration. Just as a complex machine may be tuned to favour safety margins or resilience, ENSO’s hydrologic asymmetry allows water surpluses to propagate more forcefully, redistributing resources across ecosystems and sustaining agriculture and biodiversity. Meanwhile, droughts, though damaging, tend to spread more uniformly but with less intensity, reducing the risk of catastrophic collapse within the global water cycle.

This pattern resembles a multi-tiered control system, suggesting purposeful orchestration in which interconnected processes are coordinated to maintain long-term stability despite short-term extremes. From an intelligent design standpoint, ENSO’s synchronizing power reflects purposeful order through its intricate interconnections, predictable rhythms, and alignment with the provision of water for sustaining ecosystems across the globe.

These new insights into ENSO’s complexity raise important questions about traditional evolutionary assumptions, including uniformitarianism. For example, ENSO’s global “thermostat” directly challenges the evolutionary framing of climate evolution as being primarily driven by chance. Coordinated, global rhythms point toward foresight rather than randomness.

Another challenge to evolutionary assumptions arises from evidence against strict gradual continuity. ENSO’s complexity, including its hydrologic asymmetries and the occurrence of abrupt shifts from wet to dry dominated phases within its cycles, does not align with uniformitarian gradualism. From a creation science perspective, such discontinuities may instead be interpreted as purposeful resets within a designed climate system.

Scripturally, the wisdom shown/evident in these processes offers a glimpse into God’s sovereignty over climate. As Genesis 8:22 states: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” ENSO cycles reflect this promise of ongoing/enduring rhythms. Moreover, the tendency toward stronger and more expansive wet phases highlights God’s providence, sustaining ecosystems and human societies through the redistribution of water across the globe."

The Fixed Day

"Paul also points out that mankind is really acting as the ultimate authority by worshipping man-made gods when he says, “We ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked.”
Lastly, Paul gives the call to repent and presents the gospel. 

He mentioned that God confirmed this 

to all by the resurrection of Jesus.

But now He commands all people everywhere to repent, because

He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead. (Acts 17:30–31)
It was at this point that Scripture says, “Some mocked” (Acts 17:32). This would have included the Epicureans, who (like the Sadducees) did not believe in a bodily resurrection."

Papal Notes - Traditions of Men

"Pope Leo XIV addressed visitors from around the world on the relationship between Scripture and tradition. In his remarks, the Pope reaffirmed the long-standing Roman Catholic principle that church tradition stands on the same level as—if not above—the Holy

Scriptures. 

This position stands in direct contrast to historic Protestant belief, which holds that when tradition becomes a second authority in the church, it gains the power to reinterpret, correct, or even override what God Himself has written, making the final judge of truth no longer God’s Word but fallible men who claim the authority to define tradition.

The Holy See Press Office published the following statement from Pope Leo XIV:
• “Today we will reflect on the relationship between Sacred Scripture and Tradition.”
• “It is what the Second Vatican Council affirms, using an evocative image: ‘There exists a close connection and communication between sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture. For both of them, flowing from the same divine wellspring, in a certain way merge into a unity and tend toward the same end.”
• “The Council affirms that ‘this tradition which comes from the Apostles develops in the Church with the help of the Holy Spirit.”

• “Sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God, committed to the Church, interpreted by the living teaching office of the Church, whose authority is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ.”
• “Scripture and Tradition … are so linked and joined together that they cannot stand independently, and together, each in their own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they contribute effectively to the salvation of souls.”

When human tradition is treated as authoritative, it can supersede and effectively nullify God’s commandments by substituting His clear instructions with man-made rules. Jesus Himself rebuked religious leaders for elevating human tradition in a way that set aside the Word of God:
“For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men.” 

Mark 7:8.

“Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” 

Mark 7:13.

“But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 

Matthew 15:9.

When tradition is viewed as equal to the Holy Scriptures, it becomes a rival rule of faith—an alternate standard that many end up following instead of submitting to what God’s Word actually teaches."

Lisbon Earthquake and Opening of the 6th Seal

This study by Mishra et al. (2026) builds on earlier research on

Drosophila which identified “geometry as a key organizer of mechanical force generation during morphogenesis.” However, this new study found even more detailed evidence that geometry also plays a role in the development of larger-scale processes in development, for example, coordinated cell divisions and embryo patterning.

This discovery offers a compelling glimpse into yet another example of the fine-tuned processes woven into nature and raises even more profound questions for evolutionary explanations of life’s origin, highlighting the remarkable precision and order that underlie living systems.

Geometry has long been recognized as playing a pivotal role in both biological development and cosmic organization. In particular, the repeating, scale-invariant patterns of fractals have received considerable attention in the literature as an underlying template for the structure of many organisms, including pineapples, sunflowers, fern leaves, and broccoli. These structures have been found to improve efficiency in resource distribution and to govern growth rules in these complex biological forms."
