The "Really" File - (Big Tech Blasphemy)

But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Acts 8:20

"A tech company is leveraging Americans’ desire for a deeper connection with God by offering an
AI-generated avatar of Jesus Christ that charges by the minute.
The New York Post reports that the Southern California-based
company
Just Like Me allows users to join video calls with an AI-generated avatar of Jesus Christ. Like other religious AI tools emerging in the marketplace, the platform offers words of prayer and encouragement across multiple languages. The avatar remembers previous conversations, though its lip movements do not always synchronize perfectly with its speech.
Chris Breed, CEO of Just Like Me, described the attachment users can form with the technology. “You do feel a little accountable to the AI,” he said. “They’re your friend. You’ve made an attachment.”
Christian software engineer Cameron Pak has developed criteria to help believers evaluate apps designed for Christians. 
From the "Really" File
His standards require that such tools clearly identify themselves as AI and “must not fabricate or misrepresent Scripture.” 
Pak also insists that “AI cannot pray for you, because the AI is not alive.” He created a website called faith.tools featuring curated Christian apps he believes meet these standards, including a sermon translator and an AI coach for overcoming lust. “AI, especially if you give it all the tools that it needs, it can be so helpful. But it also can be so dangerous,” Pak said.

Creation Moment 4/15/2026 - grin2a, schizophrenia & Romans 8:22

Due to Sin----the breakdown of everything including the genome---For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22

"A newly identified gene mutation appears to disrupt a brain circuit that helps us update our understanding of the world. When this system fails, the brain may cling to old ideas even when reality changes.

In experiments with mice, researchers showed that this mutation interferes with the brain’s ability to adjust decisions based on new input, a problem that closely mirrors cognitive symptoms seen in schizophrenia.

The mutation occurs in a gene called grin2a, previously linked to schizophrenia in large genetic studies. The findings suggest that targeting this circuit could eventually help improve cognitive function in some patients.

If this circuit doesn’t work well, you cannot quickly integrate information,” says Guoping Feng, the James W. and Patricia T.
Poitras Professor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, a member of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and the associate director of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. “W
e are quite confident this circuit is one of the mechanisms that contributes to the cognitive impairment that is a major part of the pathology of schizophrenia.

The researchers traced the problem to a specific brain region called the mediodorsal thalamus
This area connects to the prefrontal cortex, forming a circuit that supports decision-making and flexible thinking.

Neurons in this region appeared to track how valuable each option
was, helping guide choices. The team also observed different patterns of activity depending on whether the mice were exploring options or committing to a decision.


Only a small percentage of schizophrenia patients carry mutations in grin2a. However, the researchers believe this circuit may represent a shared pathway that contributes to cognitive impairment across different forms of the disorder."

Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 66

"Psalm 66:
Though a psalm of national thanksgiving for some occasion of great
deliverance, it also contains the king’s personal note of thanksgiving at the end.

The psalmist rehearses some of the major miracles in Israel’s history and testifies that God has always been faithful in the midst of serious troubles.

I. Communal Hymn of Praise to God (66:1-12).
A. For Future Glory (66:1-4);
B. For Previous Faithfulness (66:5-7);
C. For Continual Protection (66:8-12).
II. An Individual Hymn of Praise to God (66:13-20).
A. Through Fulfilled Vows (66:13-15);
B. For Answered Prayer (66:16-20).

Psalm 66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
Psalm 66:2 Sing forth the honor of His name: make His praise glorious.
Psalm 66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in Him.

Psalm 66:13 I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay Thee my vows,
Psalm 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me].

If I regard iniquity in my heart. If, having seen it to be there, I
continue to gaze upon it without aversion; if I cherish it, have a side glance of love toward it, excuse it, and palliate it;

The Lord will not hear me.
Q: How can He?
Nothing hinders prayer like iniquity harbored in the breast; as with Cain, so with us, sin lieth at the door, and blocks the passage."

Ralph Waldo Emmerson & Hindu Influence

Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing;
2 Corinthians 6:17

"Ralph Waldo Emerson may be regarded as the founding father of New Thought
He was much influenced by his reading of the Hindu scriptures. He wrote: "In all nations there are minds which incline to dwell in the
conception of the fundamental Unity. This tendency finds its highest expression in the religious writings of the East, and chiefly in the Indian Scriptures, in the
Vedas, the 
Bhagavat-Gita, and the Vishnu Purana. . . . I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavat-Gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us".

Emerson delivered a lecture on “The Oversoul,” at the Harvard Divinity School in 1844. He talked of a ‘divine presence’ that permeates the whole creation and all living things

The close parallel between Hindu scripture and Emerson’s
enunciation here is unmistakable. 
Emerson was settled in Concord, Massachusetts, which now boasts an impressive Emerson Museum. Leading Transcendentalists in Massachusetts included Henry David Thoreau, Phineas Quimby, Margaret Fuller, Palmer Peabody, James Freeman Clark, and Mary Baker Eddy. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore founded the Unity Church in 1889 with headquarters in Missouri."

Creation Moment 4/14/2026 - Or Maybe Uranus and Neptune were DESIGNED that way

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


"Deep within the distant ice giants of our Solar System, familiar elements may behave in unfamiliar ways.

The deep interiors of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune may contain a previously unknown form of matter, based on new computational research by Carnegie scientists Cong Liu and Ronald Cohen.

Data on Uranus and Neptune show that their interiors likely contain layers of unusual “hot ices.” These layers sit between the outer
hydrogen and helium atmospheres and the inner rocky cores. Scientists believe they are made up of water (H2O), methane (CH4), and ammonia (NH4), but under such extreme conditions, these materials may take on unfamiliar forms.

At very high pressures and temperatures, matter can behave in unexpected ways. This is why scientists use both experiments and theoretical models to explore what might exist inside these planets.

Their results point to the formation of a structured hexagonal lattice, where hydrogen atoms travel along spiral-like paths. This motion creates a quasi-one-dimensional superionic state.
Superionic materials fall between solids and liquids.
In these systems, one set of atoms stays locked in a crystal structure while another set moves freely through it.
This newly predicted carbon–hydrogen phase is particularly striking because the atomic motion is not fully three-dimensional,” Cohen explained. “Instead, hydrogen moves preferentially along well-defined helical pathways embedded within an ordered carbon structure.

The directional movement of hydrogen in this material could affect how heat and electricity flow inside planets. This, in turn, may influence how energy is distributed, how well these regions conduct electricity, and how scientists interpret the magnetic fields of ice giants.
The study also shows that even simple chemical systems can develop complex structures under extreme conditions, expanding what researchers know about matter at high pressure and temperature." SciTechDaily
--Rather than developing their own "complex" structures as inanimate, non-thinking objects----MAYBE they were DESIGNED with supersonic materials?

Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 65

"Psalm 65:
The psalm has a simple purpose: to express thanksgiving for rain and
harvest, an appropriate subject in a farming economy.

The setting is a celebration at the tabernacle, perhaps at Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the spring, or the Feast of Booths, or Tabernacles, in the fall.

I. Praise for Spiritual Blessings (65:1-5).
II. Praise for Natural Blessing (65:6-13).
All the praise the LORD receives from this earth is from Zion, being the fruit of the Spirit of Christ, and acceptable through Him.

Psalm 65:1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
Psalm 65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] Thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto Thee, that] he may dwell in Thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, [even] of Thy holy temple.

Creation Moment 4/13/2026 - Feeble Attempt by Darwinians to Misuse Snowflake Uniqueness

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 136:16

"Some evolutionists will point to examples of self-organization in crystals or snowflakes as proof that unique, one-of-a-kind designs can come about through natural processes.

But ice crystals and snowflakes, no matter how beautifully designed they may appear, do not disprove the formula we discussed. 
Q: Why? 
A: Because (in our snowflake example) H2O already contains the natural ability to be arranged in various six-sided patterns when subject to below-zero temperatures due to its inherent properties. Water crystals always form six-sided shapes.

Q: How are snowflakes formed?
A: A snowflake begins to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto a pollen or dust particle in the sky. This creates an ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls to the ground, water vapor freezes onto the primary crystal, building new crystals—the six arms of the snowflake.
That’s the short answer.
The more detailed explanation is this:
The ice crystals that make up snowflakes are symmetrical (or patterned) because they reflect the internal order of the crystal’s water molecules as they arrange themselves in predetermined spaces (known as “crystallization”) to form a six-sided snowflake. . . .

Q: So, why are no two snowflakes exactly alike?
A: Well, that’s because individual snowflakes all follow slightly
different paths from the sky to the ground—and thus encounter slightly different atmospheric conditions along the way
. Therefore, they all tend to look unique, resembling everything from prisms and needles to the familiar lacy pattern.


Unfortunately for our naturalistically minded friends, the chemicals that make up DNA do not contain any special superpowers that could have caused them to arrange themselves into the most sophisticated coded language system we have ever seen. 
 DNA only contains information because of the arrangement it has, not because of the sugar, phosphates, and bases it’s made of."

Hinduism & Western New Age

Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing;
2 Corinthians 6:17

"The “new age” is a movement that became popular in the West in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, it carried a clear Eastern pedigree, drawing from Hindu mysticism and Western occult teachings that appealed to the idealist counterculture then in the ascendancy. 

But over the course of the 80s and 90s New Age authors, writing for a Christian and Jewish readership, retained popular Sanskrit words in their books, such as chakra, but with a nonspecific spiritual
connection. 

New Age morphed from a quasi-religious movement to a loose spiritual philosophy with a strong marketing angle, aimed primarily at women, promoting health, beauty, inner peace and successful relationships. 

In India, It’s Just Hinduism
New Age cosmologies uphold a cyclical worldview wherein individuals, worlds, and the universe pass through multitudes of incarnations. 
Here the New Age borrows from the standard cosmologies of the Indian traditions, most notably Hinduism, which envision the cosmos passing through vast cosmic epochs, just as the individual moves from life to life. 
Again, this position also distinguishes the New Age from the conventional linear view of existence promulgated by the western religious traditions. This cosmology also reinforces the New Age propensity toward belief in reincarnation."

Creation Moment 4/12/2026 - 100 trillion connections

I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14

"The trend continues: as we learn more about the body, we realize it is even more complex than we once assumed.
Long-range chemical signaling in vivo is regulated by mechanical signals (Pillai et al., Nature Materials, 19 Jan 2026). This paper explains how brain development proceeds with touch-sensitive channels called Piezo proteins. The Abstract ends,
"...in vivo stiffening of soft brain regions induces ectopic Sema3A
production via a
Piezo1-dependent mechanism. Overall, these findings demonstrate that tissue mechanics locally modulates the availability of diffusive, long-range chemical signals, thus influencing cell function at sites distant from the mechanical cue."

The human brain is described by neurologists as the most complex machine in the universe. One reason is that several hundred-million-dollar research projects have failed to fully map the brains’ 86 billion neurons, roughly 85 billion other cells and over 100 trillion connections.

These “other cells” include glial cells—non-neuronal nervous system cells that outnumber neurons and provide essential structural support, insulation (myelin), and metabolic regulation. The function of the brain is judged/considered by neuroscientists to be even more complex than its cellular composition because it gives rise to perhaps its greatest mystery: consciousness.

The challenge lies in understanding how cells composed of protoplasm enable us to be conscious beings with thoughts, ideas, memories and the ability to form mental images. How the brain accomplishes this remains unknown.

Neurologists now, as a result of new research, recognize that the human brain is even more complex than once thought. As the brain grows and develops, neurons grow long extensions, projections called axons, which connect to different regions of the brain. On average, each one of these neurons connects to thousands of other neurons, resulting in an estimated 100 trillion connections.

It is well known that neuron growth relies on chemical cues to help
guide neurons to their targets. However, new research has shown that the system directing neurons to their destinations is more complex than previously assumed: the brain’s physical properties help to shape these signaling pathways. For example, the physical characteristics of tissue can trigger the production of “
guidance molecules” through a force-sensing protein called/known as Piezo1. This protein “not only detects mechanical forces but also helps maintain the structure of brain tissue. The discovery reveals a powerful link between the brain’s physical environment and how its wiring is built.”

This discovery adds an entirely new dimension to our understanding of brain development. It indicates that neural wiring may be influenced by an intricate combination of chemical signals, physical structures, and mechanical forces working together. Far from simplifying our understanding, this finding highlights yet another layer of complexity in how the brain is formed—underscoring how much remains to be discovered.

According to the authors, this discovery is so significant that it represents a “paradigm shift” in neurobiology—one that may require textbooks to be rewritten. So far the research team has avoided attempting to explain this newly identified system in evolutionary terms. 
As they wrote, “Despite the tremendous progress that has been made in understanding the brain, its staggering complexity means that we are still a long way off from fully understanding its structure and even further away from fully understanding the way it functions.”
*In light of this, it follows that we are now even further from being able to explain how such a system could have originate by some mutation natural selection driven evolutionary process."

Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 63

"Psalm 63:
The location of the writing of the psalm is described generally as “in
the wilderness of Judah

In deepest words of devotion, this psalm expresses David’s intense love for his ORD.
The psalm was written while David was in the Judean wilderness, either during his flight from Saul or more likely his flight from Absalom .

David writes from the perspective of these tenses:
I. Present – Seeking God’s Presence (63:1-5).
II. Past – Remembering God’s Power (63:6-8).
III. Future – Anticipating God’s Judgment (63:9-11).

Psalm 63:1 O God, Thou [art] my God; early will I seek Thee:
my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

The water that David is speaking of, is the Spirit of God.
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Psalm 63:2 
To see 
*Thy power 
*and Thy glory, 
*so [as] I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.
Psalm 63:3 Because Thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise Thee."

Mindfulness Creeps into the West

Ever learning,
and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.....
2 Timothy 3:7

"Mindfulness is rooted in Buddhist teachings. 
Buddhism includes a journey toward enlightenment, and the concept of “sati,”—which encompasses attention, awareness, and being present—is considered the first step toward enlightenment. 

The emergence of mindfulness in Western culture can be attributed to Jon Kabat-Zinn
Kabat-Zinn studied mindfulness under several Buddhist teachers, such as Philip Kapleau and Thich Nhat Hanh. 

As mindfulness shifted into mainstream science and medicine, it
became a pivotal therapeutic technique; it was integrated into
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among others.

Mindfulness encompasses two key ingredients: awareness and acceptance
Awareness is the knowledge and ability to focus attention on one’s inner processes and experiences, such as the experience of the present moment.
Acceptance is the ability to observe and accept—rather than judge or avoid—those streams of thought."

Creation Moment 4/11/2026 - Types of DISHONESTY in Scientific Journals

Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Isaiah 56:11

"The headline in New Scientist was striking and specific: “Over 90 Percent of Scientists Admit to Questionable Research Behaviors.”

The ‘shades of grey’ in research integrity—Researchers admit to questionable research practices that they do not perceive to be serious (Entradas, M., et al., PLoS One 21(1):e0339056, 12 January 2026).

One question of special interest to creationists was listed as number
one in the survey, namely “I failed to cite publications that contradict my beliefs.” In other words, an ethical researcher should ensure that he or she cites articles that challenge his beliefs or conclusions.

Likewise, question number two in the survey asked: “I did not conduct a thorough literature review.” This is a serious lapse in scientific practice. Conducting a thorough literature review on the topic of your research is critical in any area of research.

For question number one, 7 percent admitted they sometimes or frequently engaged in this unethical practice, 24 percent admitted doing so occasionally. For question number two, while 17 percent admitted they sometimes or frequently failed to conduct a thorough review, almost half admitted doing so occasionally.

Here is how an AI engine explained evolutionists’ rationalizations for ignoring creationist research:
"The scientific peer-review process is designed to scrutinize all new ideas. Because evolution is the fundamental framework of modern biology, findings that challenge it are subjected to higher levels of scrutiny. While some studies suggest an unfair “taboo” against anti-evolutionary views, others highlight that the vast majority of findings that challenge evolution fail to provide a robust scientific alternative or fail to hold up to scrutiny."

Robust” is a flowery term that is often used in this context, yet it is vague and imprecise. For example, certain biological structures are frequently labeled as vestigial. However, in my own review of the peer-reviewed literature, I found documented functions for each structure I examined, illustrating the claim in this quote is false. I have observed similar issues in other commonly cited lines of evidence for evolution, including interpretations of the fossil record.

Another major concern identified in the survey was the statement “I chose not to report my findings if they contradicted my theory.” If research findings do not support evolution, it is likely they will not be published.

This problem has plagued science for much of its history. The inventor of the mechanical computer, Charles Babbage (1791–1871), in his work ‘Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of its Causes’ (1830), described four types of scientific dishonesty that remain relevant today: 
hoaxing (promoting false claims), 
forging (altering data), 
trimming (ignoring contradictory evidence), 
and cooking the data. (fabricating results).

One form of “fraud” not explicitly addressed in the survey, but is highly relevant to evolutionary claims, is the use of misleading implications
Human evolution is one prime example. 
In a major work, it is clearly described as fact and presented with great detail in an 8.5 x 11 inch 506 -page book titled The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Human Evolution. This book, on page 206, includes a chart depicting primate evolution which includes 11 question marks, indicating significant guesswork and uncertainty in the proposed phylogenetic relationships.

Other blunders are evident in this tome. For human phylogeny, Australopiths (specifically Lucy) were listed as the bridge to humans from our common ape ancestor. Now that Lucy has been carefully documented to be a type of ape, and not a bridge between humans and our common ancestor, the results are clear: No evidence exists supporting human evolution from apes. The book making that claim illustrated in this chart the fact that ape-to-human evolution is not supported by the fossil evidence. Although the evidence for Lucy as an ape is now overwhelming, the claims for a transitional form were problematic from its first discovery.

The use of questionable methods to support evolutionary claims is a common recurring issue within the scientific literature on origins. The Entradas study is one example of the evidence of flawed research that appears to be distorted both to sell Darwinism to a naïve public and to reinforce belief in the evolutionary paradigm." CEH

All of these key geographical locations in Israel ultimately belonged to God, who was more interested in their welfare than anyone else.
Strength”:
Ephraim was the primary source of defense to the north of Israel.
Lawgiver”:
Judah was the tribe which was to govern Israel, from which David and his descendants came. This is speaking of the different separations.
All belongs to God and whoever He desires to give it to. “Judah is My lawgiver”.
We know that Jesus was the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Psalm 60:8 Moab [is] My washpot; over Edom will I cast out My shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of Me.
Moab … Edom … Philistia”:
The Moab is my washpot,.... To wash hands and feet in: and so the
Syriac version, "and Moab the washing of my feet"; a vessel for low and mean service, and so denotes the servile subjection of the Moabites.
Edom will I cast out My shoe; as a token of possessing their land, so some; or of subduing them; 
Philistia, triumph thou because of Me: some take this to be an ironic expression.


Psalm 60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for He [it is that] shall tread down our enemies."
