Health Note- Mapping Brain Damage Due To Weed Usage

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health... 1 John 3:2

"Researchers analyzed over 1,000 young adults and found that both heavy lifetime use and recent cannabis consumption significantly reduced brain activity during working memory tasks. 

This impairment was linked to worse performance on tasks requiring focus, problem-solving, and instruction-following. Brain imaging revealed that key regions responsible for decision-making and attention were affected.

The researchers studied the neural response of participants during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) session and gave them seven cognitive tasks to complete. The tasks tested working memory, reward, emotion, language, motor skills – such as tapping a finger to map brain control, relational assessment and theory of mind.

The researchers found that cannabis had a statistically significant

effect on brain function during working memory tasks, meaning the observed impact is very unlikely to be due to random chance. This effect was seen in both recent and lifetime cannabis users. The impact was less significant for the other tasks.

During working memory tasks, the researchers found heavy cannabis use appeared to reduce brain activity in certain areas of the brain (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, and anterior insula). These regions of the brain are involved in important cognitive functions such as decision-making, memory, attention, and emotional processing."

Bunker Hill, IN Obituary Lesson: Bebee, Fitzgerald & the "Tramp" [1898]

To day if ye will hear His voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
Q: For what is your life?
A: It is even a vapor,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Hebrews 3:15/James 4:14

Q: Did young Mr. Bebee know how his day (and life) would end as he woke up that morning?
"QUINCY BEBEE

The Bunker Hill Murder Case
LOGANSPORT, Ind., Jan 9.—The trial of William Fitzgerald, charged with the murder of Quincy Bebee, a fourteen-year-old boy of Bunker Hill, Ind. was begun this morning in the Cass Circuit Court before Judge Chase, the case coming to the county on a change of venue from Miami county.

Last October a trainboy on the Panhandle Railroad, while awaiting connections at Bunker Hill, discovered the body of the murdered boy lying in a shed near the railway station. 

---His neck had been broken 

---and the prints of boot heels on his abdomen indicated that he had been brutally killed. 

The death was surrounded by mystery for some days. It then developed that the deceased had last been seen with William Fitzgerald, a dissolute character of that neighborhood, who had but recently been released from the Columbus penitentiary. 

The two had been drinking together, and were in a state of Intoxication. Detective Silas; Morgan, of this city, took up the case, and with the assistance of the father of the murdered boy captured Fitzgerald hiding in the woods about six miles from Bunker Hill. two weeks after the murder. 

With Fitzgerald was a tramp, who gave the name of Edwards. 

This man related that Fitzgerald had told him he had kicked a man to death. The two were taken to the jail of Peru, the tramp being held as a witness.
Date: 1898-12-28; Paper: Indiana State Journal."

Creation Moment 2/4/2025 - Scientists Glimpse Job 38:4

Q: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 

Job 38:4

"The physical scientist and the humanist philosopher alike must acknowledge what biology now tells us: that the complexity of life isn’t just enormous or spectacular. For not only is it irreducible, it is quite literally unfathomable. Its vastness exceeds that of the universe itself!

For example, David Gelernter and Anthony Flew conceded the inadequacy of Darwinian theory on the basis of the complexity of proteins. 

In Arrival of the Fittest (2015), Andreas Wagner, one of the foremost modern-day defenders of neo-Darwinism, found it necessary to propose a painstakingly intricate theoretic model to explain the emergence of functional polypeptide/proteins via the neo-Darwinian paradigm, only to unwittingly acknowledge “that the principles of (life’s) innovation are concealed, even beyond the molecular architecture of DNA, in a hidden architecture of life with an otherworldly beauty.”

A Picture of the Divine Heart

"By every deceitful, blinding, benumbing, 

bewildering, intoxicating influence; 

by every well-planned artifice and snare; 

by every worldly 'attraction to his side; 

by every perversion of fact, and distortion of fancy; 

by inflaming the worst and, basest passions of the human heart, 

the Devil seeks to win men over to the support of his contention, that the government of God and Christ is partial and unjust, tyrannical in laying upon men laws which they cannot keep, and unmerciful in executing them. 

On the other hand, Christ, by a display of love and mercy unsounded in its depth, unmeasured in its height, unspanned in its length and breadth; 

by a scheme to rescue the perishing, before which the heavenly hosts bow in admiration; 

by a condescension to meet man's low estate, at sight of which the hearts of angels thrill — with wonder; by the manifestation of feelings of unutterable pity for the woes' into which the Devil has plunged mankind; 

by the provisions he makes for their necessities in their helplessness,— sight for their blindness, strength for their weakness, righteousness for their sinfulness, life for their death, by all these things which show that the compassion of Heaven is infinite, 

Christ holds up before the world a picture of the divine heart, before which Satan's most artful devices of deception fall into irremediable collapse."

Creation Moment 2/3/2025 - WASP-132

"Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the WASP-132 system, finding two new planets that defy previous understandings of planetary systems.
This includes a super-Earth close to a hot Jupiter and a distant icy giant, challenging the lone orbit theory of hot Jupiters and suggesting a complex, multi-planetary dynamic.

These two exoplanets — an inner super-Earth and an outer icy giant — are located in the WASP-132 system and are reshaping our understanding of how ‘hot Jupiter’ planetary systems develop and evolve.
Hot Jupiters are massive planets, similar in size to Jupiter, but they orbit their stars much closer than Mercury orbits the Sun. Since there isn’t enough gas and dust in these close regions for such large planets to form, scientists have long believed that hot Jupiters originate farther from their star and gradually migrate inward over time.
Until now, it was widely thought that hot Jupiters exist alone in their systems, as their inward migration would push out any nearby planets. However, the discovery of two additional planets in the WASP-132 system challenges this idea.
“The WASP-132 system is a remarkable laboratory for studying the formation and evolution of multi-planetary systems. The discovery of a hot Jupiter alongside an inner super-Earth and a distant giant calls into question our understanding of the formation and evolution of these systems. This is the first time we have observed such a configuration,” says François Bouchy.
The hot Jupiter orbits its star in seven days and three hours; the super-Earth (a rocky planet six times the mass of the Earth) orbits the star in just 24 hours and 17 minutes; and the icy giant (five times the mass of Jupiter) orbits the host star in five years."

Hebrews 11:3

Lessons from the Shewbread

"Exodus 25:30 You shall set upon the table shewbread before Me always. 

Shewbread is literally “bread of the Presence.” 

Twelve loaves were placed upon the table before the Lord each Sabbath. 

The bread indicated, first of all, Christ, who is the Presence of God,

and second, all the people who by partaking of Him, become “one bread;” for the twelve tribes were represented in the twelve loaves. 

It was before the Lord continually, for new bread was placed upon the table when the old was eaten; so we, when we present our bodies “a living sacrifice,” are continually renewed. 

---The bread of the Presence repeats the mystery of the burning bush; though eaten, it is not consumed, because God’s presence it in it. 

The bread was renewed on the Sabbath day, showing that the Sabbath is to give us fresh life for service."

Creation Moment 2/2/2025 - Hallucinating Darwinians

 I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3

"Twins were the norm for our ancient primate ancestors − one baby at a time had evolutionary advantages (The Conversation, 16 December, 2024). 

Q: Did these two evolutionary anthropologists witness twins being born among ancient primate ancestors? 

A: Of course not. 

But the story’s the thing that pleases Emperor Charley. But wait a minute; if singletons have evolutionary advantages—

Q: if that is a law of nature—why is it more rare in other primates? 

Q: Are they missing out on evolutionary advantages? 

That doesn’t sound fair.

Since hallucinating is legal in evolutionary science, 

there’s always a way to dream up a solution to a puzzle. 

Just light the Deep Time brand incense and imagine:
For primates, and especially humans, childhood learning is crucial. We propose that the switch from twins to singletons was critical for the evolution of large human babies with large brains that were capable of complex learning as infants and young children.

Based on mathematical modeling, the switch to singletons occurred early on, at least 50 million years ago. From there, many primate lineages, including ours, evolved to have increasingly larger bodies and brains.
Twinning is dangerous, they conclude. 

Our primate ancestors never learned that. Somehow they have thrived anyway for many more millions of yearzzzzzz….. Go back to sleep." CEH

Are You a Half baked Christian?

"Israel was as a cake not turned, half burnt and half dough, none of it fit for use; a mixture of idolatry and of the worship of Jehovah. There were tokens of approaching ruin, as grey hairs are of old age, but they noticed them not."
Matthew Henry

They are all adulterers, 

as an oven heated by the baker, 

who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, 

until it be leavened. 

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, 

whiles they lie in wait: 

their baker sleepeth all the night; 

in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; 

all their kings are fallen: 

there is none among them that calleth unto Me.

Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; 

Ephraim is a cake not turned.

...gray hairs are here and there upon him,

 yet he knoweth not.

Hosea: The Prophet Who Lived A Prophecy

Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. Hosea 3:1

*Hosea was told by God to marry a prostitute.
*He was to stay faithful and love her despite her adultery.
*It represents God's view of us.

As his wife Gomer ran off and was a slave Hosea was to buy her back.

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; 

thou shalt not play the harlot, 

and thou shalt not be for another man: 

so will I also be for thee.

The law passed Thursday gives Taranaki Maunga all the rights,

powers, duties, responsibilities and liabilities of a person. Its legal personality has a name: Te Kāhui Tupua, which the law views as “a living and indivisible whole.” It includes Taranaki and its surrounding peaks and land, “incorporating all their physical and metaphysical elements.”

Health Note - Mediterranean diet & your Brain

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health... 1 John 3:2

"The bacteria in your mouth may play a surprising role in brain health, potentially influencing cognitive decline as you age. A new study suggests that a diet rich in nitrates—found in leafy greens and the Mediterranean diet—could support beneficial oral bacteria linked to better memory and lower dementia risk.

Approximately 15% of older adults experience mild cognitive

impairment (MCI), which is the greatest risk factor for developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Previous research has established a link between periodontitis (gum disease) and worsening cognitive function. Scientists have identified two potential pathways connecting oral health to brain health:

Pathogenic oral bacteria may enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain.
These harmful bacteria may outcompete nitrate-reducing bacteria, which play a crucial role in producing nitric oxide—a compound

essential for synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation in the brain.
High prevalence of bacteria in the genus Porphyromonas predicted mild cognitive impairment status, while Prevotella intermedia predicted APOE4-carrier status. According to the authors, diet can affect the oral microbiome, and a nitrate-rich diet (such as the Mediterranean and ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension’ diets), favors bacteria associated with good cognitive outcomes."

Creation Moment 2/1/2025 - What NONSENSE are Darwinians Focused on now?

Forsake the foolish... Proverbs 9:6

"‘Contagious’ peeing may have deep evolutionary roots, chimp study suggests (Live Science, 20 Jan 2025). Observation: some chimpanzees urinate when they see kin doing so. Conclusion: “Contagious peeing may have deep evolutionary roots:” 

Oh please, Olivia Ferrari; 

Q: have you no shame? 

Not shame over urination, which is a fact of creation, but shame over dragging Darwin into it. According to Olivia, the Bearded Buddha urges us to pee in groups, because there is no difference between me, thee, and the chimpanzee.

"Because groups of people often go to the bathroom together too, and chimpanzees are our’ closest living relatives, this social behavior could be traced back to our common ancestor, researchers said.
In humans, we know that our decision to urinate is influenced by social contexts that lead us to urinate simultaneously with others, and that this simultaneous urination could also promote further social bonding,” study co-author Shinya Yamamoto, a wildlife researcher at Kyoto University, told Live Science in an email. 

“Our study with chimpanzees clearly shows that they share some similarities in this phenomenon, suggesting the deep evolutionary origin of contagious urination."

In chimpanzees, peeing is contagious (Cell Press via Science Daily, 20 Jan 2024). This writer tops Lie Science by mentioning evolution three times. For example, “Our research suggests that this phenomenon may have deep evolutionary roots. We found that chimpanzees, our closest relatives, tend to urinate in response to the urination of nearby individuals.” You can’t help yourself. Darwin makes you do it.

All together now: chimps engage in contagious peeing (Nature, 21 Jan 2025). You might think that serious science journals would distance themselves from such nonsense. Thou didst think wrongly. Even Nature fell into this silly notion. 

Q: Where, O where, is a lonely reporter with some courage and integrity to call out silliness when Darwinists engage in it like this?

Socially contagious urination in chimpanzees (Current Biology, 21 Jan 2025). Here is the “research” by four Japanese Darwinists who had nothing better to do than sit around sipping Darwine, which has the property of requiring frequent urination. When one got up to go to the bathroom during the just-so story brainstorming session, the others thought of the pressure on their own bladders, and a light bulb went on— and quickly blew out."

Old & New Testament

"We go to both the Old and the New Testament; for they support each other, and the New Testament would have but little force without the Old. 

1. The New-Testament Scriptures are largely made up of references to, and quotations from, the Old; 

2. The Old-Testament Scriptures testify of Christ, and without them it would be difficult to show that Christ was the Messiah; 

3. Christ commands us to search them (John 5:39), and says, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4); 

4. They are all the Scriptures that the apostles and the primitive church had for years; 

5. Those who searched them in apostolic times, were said to be more noble than those who did not (Acts 17:11); 

Surely, we cannot get along without the Old Scriptures, 

and if we believe in the New Testament, 

we shall not despise the Old."

Creation Moment 1/31/2025 -Chicken and Egg PROBLEM for the Big Bang

In the beginning God created the heaven..... Genesis 1:1

"The formation of stars after the alleged big bang is also a huge problem. 

The astronomer, Dr Danny Faulkner, pointed out:
"Stars supposedly condensed out of vast clouds of gas, and it has long

been recognized that the clouds don’t spontaneously collapse and form stars, they need to be pushed somehow to be started. There have been a number of suggestions to get the process started, and almost all of them require having stars to start with [e.g. a shockwave from an exploding star causing compression of a nearby gas cloud]. This is the old chicken and egg problem; it can’t account for the origin of stars in the first place."

The 2 Laws

"As a people, we believe that there are two laws, or systems of law: 

1.) The moral law and the principles of moral duty which grow out of it; 

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love

God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: 

and His commandments are not grievous.
He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5:2,3/2:4

2.) The ceremonial law, embracing the typical remedial system pointing forward to Christ, and the civil laws growing out of the special relation existing between God and the Jewish people to the cross. 

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
Colossians 2:14,16

We hold the former to be ever binding upon man, 

while the latter passed away."

IN the NEWS - EEKE pushes Sunday in Greece

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:2

"Whether they know it or not, labor unions are serving the interests of Rome. Rome will use anyone to further its Sunday agenda. While apostate church leaders will seek to justify Sunday-keeping through so-called moral and spiritual support, labor unions perform the dirty work of engaging in chaos, disruptions, and fighting. In Greece, labor unions today are pressuring authorities and employers to keep Sunday work-free.

On January 16, 2025, To Vima, a news media company in Athens, Greece, published an article about how trade unions are calling for Sunday shopping restrictions and are arguing that Sunday store openings violate the fundamental rights of workers.

To Vima published the following:
• “The Working Consumers of Greece (EEKE) is urging consumers to avoid shopping on Sundays as part of a broader effort to restore balance in the retail sector and protect workers’ rights.”
• “According to EEKE, the opening of stores on Sundays creates conditions that favor monopolistic practices, undermining healthy competition and inevitably driving many small and medium-sized businesses to closure.”
• “Additionally, EEKE argued that Sunday openings disrupt personal and family life, violating fundamental labor rights that are both constitutionally guaranteed and the result of hard-fought battles by workers.”
• “In its statement, the Union is urging consumers to support businesses that remain closed on Sundays. Their campaign slogan reads: “Sunday Closed! I Don’t Shop – I Don’t Work!”

It is not a coincidence that labor unions have designated Sunday as the day for workers to have time off for rest, family, and friends. The unions are simply joining the chorus of those calling for Sunday to become the universal day of rest for all people. In other words, this is a public call to increase awareness for Sunday closings."

Creation Moment 1/30/2025 - Big Bang & Genesis at odds: Hence NOT Compatible

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

that did seek God. 

Psalm 53:2

"The big bang teaches that the sun and many other stars formed before

the earth, while Genesis teaches that they were made on the fourth day after the earth, and only about 6,000 years ago rather than 10–20 billion years ago. 

The big bang also entails millions of years of death, disease, and pain before Adam’s sin, which contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture, which is thus unacceptable to Biblical Christians."

Creation Moment 1/29/2025 - Naturalism is the Root of Evolutionary Thinking

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1

"The framework behind the evolutionists’ interpretation is naturalism—it is assumed that things made themselves, that no divine intervention has happened, and that God has not revealed to us

knowledge about the past.
Evolution is a deduction from this assumption, and it is essentially the idea that things made themselves.
Professor D.M.S. Watson, one of the leading biologists and science writers of his day, demonstrated the atheistic bias behind much evolutionary thinking when he wrote:
"Evolution [is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible."

Papal Notes - Francis Gets Called Out

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
Romans 13:1-7 RSV

"In a no-holds-barred response to Pope Francis’s criticism of U.S. immigration policies, former Border Patrol chief Tom Homan delivered a blistering rebuke that cut straight to the heart of the Vatican’s hypocrisy.

When the Pope condemned the Trump administration’s deportation plans as a “disgrace” – despite the Vatican’s own strict immigration controls – Homan didn’t hold back. A lifelong Catholic, he challenged the pontiff to “concentrate on fixing the Catholic Church” before lecturing the United States on border security.
Homan’s most potent argument highlighted the Vatican’s own

paradoxical stance: “They have a wall around the Vatican, and if you illegally enter, you’ll be charged with a serious crime. So he can protect where he lives, but the American people are not allowed that?”
Homan emphasized the human cost of unsecured borders: “Securing the border saves lives. Less people means less women get raped by cartels, less children die in rivers, and less Americans die from fentanyl

overdose.”
The message was clear: compassion isn’t about open borders, but about protecting vulnerable populations from harm."
