Creation Moment 9/24/2025 - 15 Questions for Evolutionists SERIES: How did the DNA code originate?

Because that, when they knew God, 

they glorified Him not as God, 

neither were thankful; 

but became vain in their imaginations, 

and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Romans 1:21

"The code is a sophisticated language system with letters and words where the meaning of the words is unrelated to the chemical properties of the letters—just as the information on this page is not a product of the chemical properties of the ink (or pixels on a screen).

Q: What other coding system has existed without intelligent design? How did the DNA coding system arise without it being created?"

"Evolutionist Professor Paul Davies admitted, “Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell.”

Andrew Knoll, professor of biology, Harvard, said, “we don’t really know how life originated on this planet”. 

A minimal cell needs several hundred proteins. 

Even if every atom in the universe were an experiment with all the correct amino acids present for every possible molecular vibration in the supposed evolutionary age of the universe, not even one average-sized functional protein would form.

IN the NEWS - Vietnam: Test Run for the Future?

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,... Revelation 13:7

"Vietnam has frozen 86 million bank accounts due to a lack of biometric verification, as part of a broader effort to enhance security and transition to a cashless economy.

Background of the Decision

In late 2024, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) initiated a significant overhaul of the banking system, requiring all bank account holders to provide biometric identification, such as fingerprints or facial scans. 

As of September 2025, accounts that have not complied with these

requirements have been frozen or erased, impacting approximately 86 million accounts out of a total of 200 million registered in the country. Account holders must now provide updated biometric data to maintain their accounts. Those who fail to comply risk losing access to their funds and services.

This move is part of Vietnam's broader strategy to promote digital payments and reduce cash transactions, aligning with global trends towards a cashless society.
The freezing of 86 million bank accounts in Vietnam marks a significant shift in the country's banking practices, emphasizing the importance of biometric verification in enhancing security and preventing fraud. As the government continues to implement these changes, account holders are urged to comply with the new requirements to avoid disruptions in their banking services."

Creation Moment 9/22/2025 - Those “formidable entropic and informational barriers"

"A recent popular science article begins with the words, “A new study published in July 2025 tackles one of science’s most profound mysteries – how did life first emerge from non-living matter on early Earth?” 

As is so typical in such articles, the author simply assumes that life

did naturally arise from nonliving chemicals. It is almost as if he is attempting to frame the debate by excluding from the outset even the possibility of supernatural creation. Instead of asking how life naturally arose, scientists (and thinking people everywhere) would do well to ask the question: Did life naturally arise, or was it created?

As described in both popular and technical papers, systems biology professor Robert G. Endres attempted to estimate the requirements for the spontaneous generation of a hypothetical protocell from a primordial soup on early Earth. He concluded that such a protocell, with an information content of about a billion bits, could, in principle, spontaneously arise from primordial soup in 500 million years—but only if a small fraction of the interactions leading to the protocell are consistently preserved over “vast stretches of time.” Endres acknowledged the “formidable entropic and informational barriers” to the formation of such a protocell. 

In spite of these barriers, Endres stated that “abiotic evolution, however slow and strange, remains a viable (if mind-bending) explanation.” 

Q: But if abiotic (or chemical) evolution really is viable, why is it “strange” and “mind-bending”?

Apparently, Endres is not terribly confident in life’s ability to naturally arise from nonliving chemicals, because he throws out “directed panspermia” as a fallback option. Directed panspermia, the idea that intelligent extraterrestrials in the distant past “seeded” Earth with life, is nothing new; it was suggested by molecular biologist Francis Crick, chemist Leslie Orgel, and astronomers Carl Sagan and Iosif Shklovskii in the mid-1960s and early 1970s.

A little thought, however, quickly reveals that directed panspermia doesn’t really explain life’s origin. 

Q: If life on Earth were seeded here by intelligent extraterrestrials from outer space, how did the extraterrestrials themselves come to be? 

Claiming that they, too, are the result of abiogenesis on their planet only pushes the problem further back in time, as does claiming that they are the result of another directed panspermia experiment performed by an even older civilization.

But in 2011, Scientific American, despite its strong pro-evolution bias, had already conceded this point, acknowledging that scientists “don’t have a clue how life began.” 

A supernatural creator is the only rational explanation for our existence. That Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ, is also the Savior of the world and its coming King: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)”

The Prophetic Parable of the Jews Probation

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Matthew 18:23-35

**10,000 talents is what Haman sold the Jews for. It is also what the servant owed his master in the parable: If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries. Esther 3:9
**Timeline of Prophetic Parable:
- 474 B.C.-The King whom Esther would be married to took the throne.
- 457 B.C. The Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple
- 31 A.D. The descendants of those Jews who begged forgiveness crucified the Christ.
- 34 A.D. Stephen stoned and Gospel goes to the gentiles. (The 70 week prophecy of Daniel came to an end)

- The Jews (the servant in the parable) torment their fellow servants, the Christians.
- 70 A.D. Jerusalem destroyed and Jews turned over to their
"tormentors".

This parable was in response to Peter's question about how many times should we forgive someone.
Christ's answer: Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Matthew 18:21.22
Notice: 70x7=490. Same amount of time the Jews were given in the prophecy of Daniel for their Probation as a people.

[62 weeks +7 weeks + 2 weeks then the 1 last week of the prophecy=70 weeks. A day for a year in prophetic time would mean the 70 weeks = 490 years.]

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

hardened in unbelief and rebellion, 

and hastening on to meet the retributive judgments of God.”

Creation Moment 9/21/2025 - Ape Hips

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

Romans 1:22

"This should come as no surprise: Humans and apes have different hips.
The human pelvis is rounded, like a basket, to enable us to walk and stand upright with ease. The ape pelvis is tall and narrow, with the upper hip bones appearing like blades, allowing apes to walk on all fours and effortlessly climb and swing in trees.

A new study claims to have uncovered “some of the key genetic and developmental shifts that radically resculpted the quadrupedal ape pelvis into a bipedal one.” Using samples from human “embryonic tissues” (it’s unclear how these tissues, some of which were “collected by the Birth Defects Research Laboratory at the University of Washington,” were obtained—I certainly hope no unborn children made in the image of God were killed for this useless research!) and primate museum specimens, “they took CT scans and analyzed histology (the microscopic structure of tissues) to reveal the anatomy of the pelvis during early stages of development.”

They determined that:

"Evolution reshaped the human pelvis in two major steps. First, it shifted a growth plate by 90 degrees to make the human ilium wide instead of tall. Later, another shift altered the timeline of embryonic bone formation. . . .

In the early stages of development, the human iliac growth plate formed with growth aligned head-to-tail just as it did in other primates. But by day 53, the growth plates in humans evolved to radically shift perpendicularly from the original axis—thus shortening and broadening the hipbone."

So they observed how the pelvis develops in an unborn child and assumed evolution must somehow have radically changed up the developmental process. In other words, this is an interpretation based on evolutionary assumptions.
But think about that—shifting an entire pelvis isn’t just moving some bones around! If the pelvis dramatically changes shape, the muscle attachments must also change, as would the blood vessels, the ligaments and tendons, the nervous system, and so much more! It all must have happened together, or it wouldn’t work. The human body is incredibly complex and integrated, and any “small” change—let alone a radical change like what they are suggesting—has massive ripple effects throughout the whole body.
And, of course, development is controlled by genes. So they assume those must have changed too.

"The team identified more than 300 genes at work, including three with outsized roles—SOX9 and PTH1R (controlling the growth plate shift), and RUNX2 (controlling the change in ossification). . . .

The authors suggest that these changes began with reorientation of growth plates around the time that our ancestors branched from the African apes, estimated to be between 5 million and 8 million years ago."

So changes to three different genes supposedly drove the “reorientation of growth plates” that somehow magically allowed humans to evolve upright walking.
This is nothing but storytelling! It’s a fairy tale. None of this was observed—what they observed was clear differences between humans and apes. That’s it! They then applied their evolutionary storytelling to the evidence to suggest that they’ve figured out how humans evolved our unique pelvis. But all they really showed with their observations is that apes and humans are different! Essentially, their position is: Because human hips and ape hips are very different, evolution is true, because evolution happened.

Apes and humans are different—radically different—because we’re totally separate kinds with absolutely no relation to one another." AIG

Job on the STATE OF THE DEAD

"Note that Job 7:9-10 tells us that he who goes down to the grave

“does not come back up” (until the resurrection, of course—For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 

Job 19:25-26)." F.D. Nichol

For this child I prayed

For this child I prayed.
1 Samuel 1:27

"Devout souls delight to look upon those mercies which they have obtained in answer to supplication, for they can see God's especial love in them. 

When we can name our blessings Samuel, that is, asked of God, they

will be as dear to us as her child was to Hannah. 

Hannah's one heaven-given child was dearer far, because he was the fruit of earnest pleadings. 

Q: Did we pray for the conversion of our children? 

How doubly sweet, when they are saved, to see in them our own petitions fulfilled! 

Better to rejoice over them as the fruit of our pleadings than as the fruit of our bodies. 

It is always best to get blessings into our house in the legitimate way, by the door of prayer; then they are blessings indeed, and not temptations. 

Even when prayer speeds not, the blessings grow all the richer for the delay; The gift came from heaven, let it go to heaven. Prayer brought it, gratitude sang over it, let devotion consecrate it. 

Q: Reader, is prayer your element or your weariness? 

Q: Which?"

IN the NEWS - Tales of Murder & supposed Witchcraft on the high seas

Obviously they were not witches---they therefore And shed innocent blood.... Psalm 106:38

"Spanish police have arrested 19 illegal immigrants on suspicion of abusing, torturing and killing 50 of their fellow passengers on a boat as they crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to the Canary Islands.
The Spanish coast guard said they rescued the remaining passengers on the 20-meter boat, which had drifted some 400 kilometers from the coast.
The police issued a statement and a video highlighting the arrests, writing:
“National Police officers have arrested 19 people suspected of murder and torture aboard a cayuco rescued on Aug. 24. The vessel

was adrift in waters near Gran Canaria and contained 248 migrants, one of whom died in the hospital. Several migrants traveling on the cayuco report murders, injuries, and torture committed during the voyage. The disappearance of at least 50 people thrown overboard by the alleged masters is also being investigated. All those arrested, who were traveling on the same vessel, have been remanded in custody.”
The police further detail how many on the ship were accused of witchcraft and then murdered.
“The causes of these deaths, according to the testimonies gathered, are believed to be related to superstitions that labeled certain crew members as ‘witches’ when incidents occurred during the voyage, such as engine failure, food shortages, or bad weather. Likewise, homicides were documented simply because some people protested or expressed their disagreement with the conditions of the trip,” wrote the police in a statement.
Passengers told authorities that the aggressors had thrown some into the water alive, while others were tortured or even murdered directly on the boat.
After the police launched an investigation, the suspects were ultimately charged with facilitating illegal immigration and murder."

Creation Moment 9/20/2025 - O'Gorman's View Misses the Mark

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, .... Psalm 36:2

"It is important to take stock of the root causes of this cultural shift towards death: A rejection of the Creator God of the Bible. Evolutionary theory has played a significant role in accelerating this cultural shift towards death and hopelessness through the advance of secular materialism and devaluation of the sanctity of human life.

Around 10 years after the deadly September 11 attacks, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Rick O’Gorman wrote a book chapter titled “The evolutionary logic of terrorism: Understanding why terrorism is an inevitable human strategy in conflict”. This work offered great insights into the evolutionary perspective on terrorism (including suicide terrorism), which was even touted as an “inevitable likelihood” and as an “evolutionarily rational” act. In Dr. O’Gorman’s words:

“If we examine the conflict techniques of humans in societies more akin to those in which we have evolved for most of our species’ existence (usually termed ‘hunter-gatherer’ societies and chiefly those we find that there are no consistent rules for violent conflict

… Indeed, if there is a consistent rule, it is that stacking the odds in your own favor is paramount. Commonly, for example, aggressors will outnumber victims, often with several attackers against one victim … Interestingly, we can see similar intent in one of our closest biological relatives, the chimpanzee…” (pp. 62-63)

“While the types of actions by chimps and hunter-gatherers are not identical to modern terrorism, they share a similar intent, along with modern guerrilla warfare, of ensuring that the advantage lies with the attacker before engaging in conflict…” (p. 63)

“Terrorists may be considered evolutionary altruists, sacrificing themselves for a cause in much the same way as soldiers do. The psychological mechanisms behind terrorism, particularly suicide terrorism, may be driven by a desire to punish perceived wrongdoers. …moral communities have shared norms about behaviour and mechanisms for imposing costs on violators or providing benefits to cooperators. When communities perceive wrongdoing, they may resort to severe penalties. “ (p. 70)

“An evolutionary approach to understanding terrorism contributes to a deeper understanding of the psychological motivations behind terrorist acts. It suggests that terrorists are not simply madmen or lunatics, but that their motivations can be evolutionarily rational, even if not beneficial to individuals. ….” (p. 72).

Despite the author’s intent to provide insights into conflict resolution, equating human conflict with animalistic instincts effectively rationalizes violence as a natural evolutionary outcome. 

Such a perspective significantly diminishes the theological conviction previously held by much of society that human life, made in the image of God, holds inherent sanctity.

Isaiah 44:24

"Now we encounter one of the most precise relationships in all of astronomy and one that presents a serious challenge to our understanding of how galaxies work.
The Barionic Tully Fisher relation despite its intimidating name describes something quite elegant. 

There's an incredibly tight correlation between how much normal matter a galaxy contains and how fast that galaxy rotates.
This relationship is so precise that if you tell an astronomer the mass of visible matter in a galaxy, they can predict its rotation speed with remarkable accuracy.
This might not sound unusual at first, but here's the catch. In our current model, the rotation speed should depend primarily on the amount of dark matter, not the visible matter.

Dark matter and visible matter are supposed to be entirely separate entities that barely interact with each other. Dark matter doesn't emit light, doesn't absorb light, doesn't collide with itself or with normal matter. It exists in its own shadowy realm, affecting things only through gravity. 

Q: So, why would there be such a precise relationship between the

amount of visible matter and the overall gravitational behavior of a galaxy? It's as if you discovered that the number of birds in your backyard perfectly predicted the speed of traffic on the highway outside your house. 

There's no obvious reason why these two things should be connected. Yet, the correlation is so tight and universal that it demands an explanation. 

This relationship suggests that visible matter and the gravitational effects we attribute to dark matter are intimately connected in ways that our current theories cannot explain. 

It's not just that they happen to coexist in galaxies. They appear to be coupled together by some mechanism that remains completely mysterious."

Creation Moment 9/18/2025 - They admit Most of their Theories are WRONG

And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O LORD: 

Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 

Psalm 89:5

"Fact number five presents our next paradox. 

For decades, astronomers could only find about a dozen satellite galaxies around the Milky Way. Where simulations predicted thousands, reality offered only a handful. 

This became known as the missing satellites problem and it

suggested that something fundamental was wrong with our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve. 

But just when scientists thought they were beginning to understand this discrepancy, the universe threw them another curveball.

Advanced surveys using more sensitive instruments began discovering satellite galaxies that had been too faint to detect before. This should have solved the missing satellites problem, but instead it created an entirely new puzzle.....we now appear to have too many satellite galaxies. 

Recent estimates suggest there may be over 500 small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, more than twice what the most optimistic simulations predict. 

*We've gone from a shortage to an overwhelming abundance, and our models can't explain either situation satisfactorily. This dramatic reversal tells us something profound about the limitations of our current theories. when your predictions can be wrong by factors of 10 or more and then swing wildly in the opposite direction.

As new data arrives, it suggests that the fundamental assumptions underlying those predictions might need serious reconsideration.

Let's delve deeper into the strange behavior of dark matter itself, assuming it exists as our models propose.
Computer simulations consistently show that dark matter should clump together most densely at the center of galaxies, creating what scientists call a cuspy distribution. 

Imagine a mountain with very steep sides rising to a sharp peak.

Observations of actual galaxies, including our own Milky Way,

show that dark matter appears to be distributed much more evenly than simulations predict. Instead of the sharp mountain peak, we see something more like a gentle hill. The dark matter seems to form what's called a core, a region of relatively the galaxy density at constant center. 

Scientists have proposed various mechanisms that might transform the predictor spy distributions into the observed caused cue. But none of these solutions work convincingly across all types of galaxies. 

The mismatch between predicted and observed dark matter distributions becomes more pronounced in smaller galaxies. 

The very places where we should be able to test our theories most precisely in small nearby galaxies where we can measure everything in great detail are exactly where our theories perform most poorly."

Creation Moment 9/17/2025 - Pulling those Strings.....

The heavens are Thine.... Psalm 88:11

"To explain what we observe, scientists have had to propose that our

galaxy is embedded in a massive invisible halo of something they call dark matter. This halo would need to contain roughly six times

more mass than all the visible matter combined. So when you look up at the Milky Way on a clear dark night, you're seeing less than
17th of what's actually there. 

The rest is completely invisible, detectable only through its gravitational effects on the stars we can see. 

*But here's where our story takes an even stranger turn. 

--Despite decades of searching with increasingly sophisticated instruments, we have never directly detected a single particle of this dark matter. Not in laboratories deep underground, not in particle accelerators, not in space-based detectors. 

It's as if we're explaining the motion of a puppet by invoking invisible strings that we can neither see nor touch, yet which must somehow be there, controlling everything. Our journey into cosmic impossibility deepens when we examine the neighborhood around our galaxy."

The Jealousy of God

God is jealous. Nahum 1:2

"Your Lord is very jealous of your love, O believer. 

He cannot bear that you should choose another. 

Q: Did He buy you with His own blood? 

He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. 

He loved you with such a love that He would not stop in heaven

without you; He would sooner die than you should perish, and He cannot endure that anything should stand between your heart's love and Himself. 

He cannot bear that you should hew out broken cisterns, when the overflowing fountain is always free to you. 

 Let this jealousy which would keep us near to Christ be also a comfort to us,....Oh that we may have grace this day to keep our hearts in sacred chastity for our Beloved alone, with sacred jealousy shutting our eyes to all the fascinations of the world!"

1 Peter 3:18-22

"The passage reads thus:

"Christ also hath once suffered for sins. ... being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water." 1 Peter 3:18-20

If this passage seems to support popular theology with regard to the doctrine of an immortal soul, it also seems to support two ideas that Protestants believe are false: (1) purgatory, and (2) a second probation.

If Christ went to preach to certain sinners after their death, the clear inference is that He was extending a second chance, a second probation, to those people. 

Moreover, the place where these souls were being confined seems quite close to the Roman Catholic idea of purgatory.

-- So, if read too literally, this passage is troubling to all Protestants, not just Seventh-day Adventists.

If this is the correct way to read the passage, and Christ at His crucifixion really preached to the undead in some sort of subterranean prison house, we are forced to ask: 

Q: Why did Jesus single out the spirits of those who were disobedient in the days of Noah? 

Q: Why were no others among the living dead entitled to this second chance?

But we do not believe that this is the correct way to read the passage. The context of 1 Peter 3:13-22 is that the Christian will be called upon to suffer for doing good. 

Peter warns us to be ready to suffer for preaching the gospel. There might be threats and actual violence against us, if we preach Christ Jesus. 

Then Peter mentions how Christ, who did only righteousness, suffered and died for our salvation, but was raised back to life by the Holy Spirit.

The next part of the passage warns us that our suffering might seem to be of no avail, but we are not to be discouraged: through that same Holy Spirit who would later raise Christ from the dead, Christ preached, through Noah, to the antediluvians. But, despite this Spirit-filled preaching, only Noah and his family, eight souls in all, were saved from the deluge.

We believe Peter is saying, “if your work seems to be in vain, remember that through the Spirit the Lord Jesus Christ preached to the those who lived before the Flood, yet with no results other than Noah’s immediate family. So don’t despair or be discouraged, just continue to preach Jesus Christ.”

IN the NEWS - Leftist New Hit List

Being filled with all unrighteousness...murder...

Romans 1:29


"After Kirk assassination, political left social media posts list 'next' targets.....Those on the list include podcaster Joe Rogan, author JK Rowling, conservative political commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, among others.
In response to being targeted, Rowling, said, “If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.”
Shapiro said, “We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die.”
Walsh also said people were sending him screenshots of posted death threats, saying, “A lot of concerned people are sending me these screenshots (and dozens more). I appreciate their concern. But I’m not surprised and I won’t be going into hiding. We have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.”

We have a serious problem:

The Secular Left has gone completely mental by feasting on their own poison for years. 

They have been targeting for years Conservatives, Christians and whites.

The last 3 major murder stories in the country put it all on display.

1) Targeting Christians at Church in Minnesota recently.

2) Shot Kirk for being a Conservative.

3) Stabbed to death that "white girl" as her murderer told people "I got that white girl" while exiting the train in North Carolina.

RUSH always used to say on his radio show decades ago---the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative is simple:

A Conservative says "I'm right, you're wrong--let's have the debate".

(Now you would think that in a healthy functioning democracy that would be everyone's view in the public arena).

A Liberal says "I'm good-you're evil----so there is no need for debate".

***Well, that is EXACTLY what we saw last week with the Kirk shooting. Kirk was there for a civil public debate in the open--welcoming and challenging diverse viewpoints. 

Then a Liberal showed up and thought (incorrectly) that Kirk was an evil fascist (ironically Kirk was the total opposite of a Fascist) and the Liberal shut down the debate with what he viewed as evil--with a bullet to the cheers on social media of leftists globally.

*They have embraced a culture of death (sacrificing their children in the womb on the altar of self--via abortion) and embraced genuine mental illness such as TRANSBUTCHERY. 

They have replaced their Father God with the mother earth and imbibed on the race baiting politics of picking at scabs of the past to keep people convinced they live in 1870 Mississippi. (BLM, Project 1619 and Critical race Theory).

IF Christians up to now have not yet seen the dangers of embracing this politics...they should now.

They are killing themselves for their causes (IF that isn't Mental Illness---I don't know what is):

1) Dude set himself on fire and burned to death outside Trump Towers while experiencing a bad bout of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)

2) Dude from U.S. Military burned himself to death outside Israeli embassy in U.S. to show his hate for Israel and support for "Palestine" (which of course by extension means Hamas and genuine  IslamoFascism---because obviously he was imbibing somewhere in cyberspace on their worldview and hate for Israel)

3) Dude runs out into the field a few years ago during a live sports event in Europe, covered himself in gasoline and burned to death (to draw attention to the plight of mother earth---clearly he was in the climate change cult).

***The real root of woke politics---and mental illness that stems from feasting for years on it---is tossing out the Father God from the picture.
